Hi everyone!!!
Like some of you I bought a new phone, but my O1 stills in perfect conditions...
Considering its quite old and not of much monetary value (at least in my country) selling it is kind of hard.
So I was wondering if there's any alternative interesting use for my O1... Perhaps as a web server? Or a kind of joystick or remote?
This thread is to give ideas and suggestions about a new life/use for old O1s
***UPDATE***
This seems to be already a popular a the best option IMO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084746
At this point there's no release, but it's quite promising

Put it in a drawer and wait for Ubuntu, hope it works on an EXT partition...

Like someone else did here, use it just for navigation. Uninstall all useless apps make it barebone to have ultimate battery life with any froyo/gb rom.

I think I could that anyway with my new phone... The thing is to give it a new use, not just a smartphone with another OS...
Perhaps it would be interesting if I used ubuntu in my desktop and so there would be awesome functions I suppose

Hi,
I've developed a mobile 3D scanner app for Android and could use some exposure and feedback.
This is my first Android app release and since I'm a single developer I still need some more experience in regard to the huge variety of different phones (and problems that come with such variety).
So, I'd be very happy for either buying the app ( ) or some general advices and feedback.
Thanks in advance
testing... just use this app. lol

I never wrote anything about testing my app
This sounds good and i am definitely gonna try it. something new out here.
You should make a video. My phone doesn't have front camera so I can't test.

I just came across this. I'm doing a research project and am in need of a really basic cheap 3D scanner. Has this been updated at all in the past year? The app on the Play store shows the last update as Sept 2011. Did you just stop work on this all together? Are there any alternatives that will give me an .STL file?
Could we get some love for the Viewsonic Viewbook vb730 on XDA? I know that it's not that popular of a tablet but it would be cool to have a place for questions.
Agree... Should any big head of Xda help me on this? New firmware? Best software for this?

Do you have the vb730? I'd like your thoughts on this device. How much drive space is set aside for apps. This looks like the tablet for me. I just think the reviews do not give it justice.

Yes I do. I am using a Vb730. I do think it is a combination product of tablet and E-reader.
The Internal Memory is 8GB and the space for data application is about 5 GB/8GB. But you can expand the capacity by Micro SD... I am using 16 GB Micro SD card (around 30$ I think)
For an e-reader, it use LCD screen so could be not very good for your eyes.
For a tablet, it is not multiple touch screen so you can not use two of your finger the same time.
Most of the Android software can be installed by using Explorer software of this. It is quite simple. However, you could not install Android Market Software... But you can use Amazon Application...
I do think it is quite good with the price you have to pay...
Thanks. Now just waiting for Christmas to get this or the Galaxy Tab 7. I really think the vb would suit me fine.

I am looking for an app that i can use to do vehicle inspections, i am in charge of inspecting all the used cars that my dealer group buys and right now i am just doing it the old fashioned way i would like it to be a full blown software that will allow me to input pictures and then make a final report that i can email to the next person.
i have found a few things but no luck
i like this but the company has yet to get back to me
www.inspect2go.com/inspection/vehicle/
how hard would this be?
can anyone help?
thanks
matt
can anyone help out or direct me in a way?
I don't think you will find such an app in the market at the moment i'd suggest to use oldschool methods but i do know there is a few app to test torque and such

I think this is a great idea more generally. If there's a developer out there I think automotive support apps would be tremendously useful for a lot of people. I would pay for something that let me keep track of what maintenance I need to do and how to do it.
I was considering developing on MiUI styled messaging application for non MiUI roms. But at heart I am a data driven developer. If you want, contact me by inbox and we can see if this is possible and how easy it would be to implement. Obviously the clearer the specs, the easier it is to get started on a project like this
Perhaps something like evernote or extensive notes might work for you.

Guys and Gals of XDA, I think I've found the Holy Grail for the Xperia Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.sphone2tv&hl=en
A little app called MirrorOP Sender. Fully functional Android display mirror to PC and it runs fairly well.
Just played the first level of Super Mario Bros with only 1 death...Streamed from my Play to my PC connected to my TV through HDMI
All you need is the MirrorOP Receiver for the PC and you're good to go:
http://www.mirrorop.com/product_Windows_Receiver.html
The sender app is only a trial but it's worth a test. I'm not sure if the framerate is connected to how good your internet connection is. My internet isn't that good and it displays fine (portrait and landscape) but from some American speedtests I've seen maybe some of the Americans in here might have better results
Going to give ago. If works, extremely good find :thumbup:
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Not bad, not bad at all! Excellent find!
Just found out you can also do it the opposite way as well if you get the MirrorOP receiver for your Play and Sender for PC
Runs brilliantly and means I can still access my desktop from the comfort of the toilet
Root only.
Awwwww
lags, dont know why
Tried it out will be perfect if it didn't lag..... Atleast for games and videos ..... But displaying pictures are ok enough......

Not to mention its like THE EASIEST PHONE TO ROOT EVER. None of those ridiculous tools that Motorola phones need to achieve root, no worry of s-off or any of that crap. I pity the Foo who doesn't zergrush his Xperia PLAY first thing.

Can you try the app before.you buy or must you buy first? After reading the comments here and in Play Store is it true to say the app is still slow & needs some work or is it worth buying now?

Not worth paying for yet as just to slow for games. Can test out first as the apps are free for demo time. But this does have lots of potential in the long run. Still early days yet but if see how good splashtop is, this app good just be as good and fast with some more work done to it.

Has anyone used this to stream" Miirror" the same image, like a movie, to multiple devices(i have some android phones, an I pad, note10.1) and i would like to mount them in my car, or share a presentation at work to multiple devices,etc and have all play the same video at once.
Any experiences?

It depends how you put it in terms. For example, jailbreak meaning installing a better ROM on your phone than the one you already have, and secondly, you can only jailbreak an iPhone being the term 'jailbreak' came from iDevices.
are you insulting me, because i'm not fat.
Jailbreak is a term use in iOS. In android, we root our phones. Why? Few reasons, to install custom ROM, it is mainly because that phone no longer receiving update, so have to rely on xda. 2nd, to over clocked your phone. 3rd , dislike skinned ui, example HTC sense , Samsung touch wiz and more. So they would go for pure android aka vanilla. Or some prefer cyanogen version. Anyway, welcome to android, you can find almost all information about your android phone here. Have a nice day

Google root + your device and carrier. It has worked for me as a new guy. Read up on it first and be careful as flashing roms and root can have permanent negative consequences. Just find your device here on xda and that should be a good starting point

First off what phone did you get? And if you are new to android, rooting, custom roms etc, I recommend you use the stock android your phone came with for a little to get familiar before you go changing things around.

In what way did he insult you by saying your fat? "Rooting" and "jailbreaking" are different.

we don't jailbreak android devices , as it is not needed here , but sometimes we root it to gain some special controlling over the device properties.
I would not recommend you to do so , until you get used to the new system and its abilities .

Closed, next time please read and respect the rules
For the rest try to respect each other, is not that hard of you really try
