Hi Guys,
I've tried to look for an answer but unfortunately only came across the stuff related to using apps on android/iOS to extend your PC's screem
What i really want to know/do is to connect my Acer 's Iconia A100 screen (motherboard is fried) to a PC (will build one and install Android on to it).
All the screens are relatively the same in a way, so maybe an adapter or a small board or something will do the trick?
I welcome any suggestion / idea ...
Cheerio

The other day, i was sitting with my trusty Thinkpad T60p and my Galaxy S and suddenly i got this idea... i want to build a Android phone into the palmrest! So now i'm just throwing thoughts out the get myself started.
It would be great to have everything Conky provides now, calendar, email and other stuff, placed on a small LCD on the laptop.
So i need to get a spare palmrest for the laptop of eBay, in case the idea doesn't really work out, and a Android phone i can play around with. It seems as Windows Mobile phones are cheaper 2nd. hand, and as i don't really need the phone part of the phone to work, it might be the way to go. So what WinMo phones are good enough to run Android to get: booting into Android without user interaction, touchscreen and hardware buttons, maybe wifi and 3G, but only it it's good enough to provide a access point, USB net and Android 2.x?
What native Android phones should i look for? I think i'll need the hardware buttons to be on a separate PCB, a small (2,8" to 3.2") screen. CPU and memory isn't really that important. Also the LCD and main PCB needs to be quite flat. If i had brought a screwdriver to school, i could have measured just how flat.
Is there a launcher that can do everything in landscape mode?
Have anyone done something similar to this? Build a Android phone into anything else?
I need to modify the battery circuit to make to phone run of the laptop battery, as i don't think i can find internal room for it and connect the USB port in the phone to the internal USB header where my fingerprint reader isn't going to be anymore.
Hey guys, I need some major help...
So I was given a Impression i7 Tablet from Leader International.
I have done plenty of research on this tablet, and I do know that support is limited and problems are abundant. Here are some of the things I need help with or it if it to much trouble, I will just take it back.
When I load it, it load all the way up to the homescreen, but I have no touch screen function and the buttoms at the bottom do not light up. I have used the reset button multiple of times with no luck.
Then I have tried to install the Android Drivers Rev 4 but they seem to not install on my computer. (Windows 7)
Also has anyone been able to root this device.
I hope to get some answers. I dont want to take it back unless I have to. (I like to hack away at android devices)
Thanks Everyone!!
the tablet 7 inch have place to put sim card or only tablet 10.1 ?
the leader i7 is a rebrand of another tablet. Find that tablet and youll have your answer.
Hi.
I hope this is a suitable place for this topic, if not please direct me.
This is about what I see as a sorely needed Android mobile phone driver.
Devices like this have become dirt cheap, but to use one you still have the lug around a laptop or a tablet. So when you need to go delving into the innards of something, you'd better hope you've got your laptop/tablet with you. But everyone has a mobile phone with them all the time.
I've searched extensively for a driver that will allow one of these USB cable Enderscope devices to be plugged into a mobile phone and viewed on-screen, using the phone's screen as a viewer.
There are any number of tradespeople alone who would love to have something like this.
Could this be done?
Would it be difficult?
Are any of you developers interested?
Hi everyone,
Hopefully this is in the right section (kind of a forum noob here ). Anyway, let's get to the problem.A while ago, I received as a gift a tablet, specifically a Nordmende ND-8014rk. It's probably a rebrand. Unfortunately, I broke the screen; everything seems to work and I can use it if I connect a USB mouse. The problem is, it seems to be impossible to repair. The manufacturer doesn't reply to my email nor answer the phone and all the places I asked said they didn't have spare parts. I have also searched myself for spare parts, but with no luck.
That said, I thought of connecting the tablet to the tv and using as a Media Center since it also as a full size USB port. Problem is, I don't know how to control it. I could use mouse and keyboard, but it's not really comfortable from the couch. So I tried using TabletRemote(free on the PlayStore) but the keyboard does not work.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
P.S.: excuse my english, it's not my native language

Hey folks!
I recently thought of possible projects to realize with my old Samsung Galaxy S2. It has a shattered screen, but beside that its perfectly working. I thought it's somehow a shame to leave this device unused, since it is actually such a powerful computer. And I guess that applies to many of you: You get a new phone and your old phone rests somewhere in a drawer. You could sell it-but either it some misfunctions (which are often simply from a beauty aspect ), or you simply want to keep it. That's how I got to the idea to use my old Galaxy S2 as a cloudserver.
For that I basically installed Ubuntu Touch on it (which is available for many Android devices) and then on it the ownCloud server. And it works ! Now I have my phone running on the charger and a perfectly working cloudserver. At the moment I use a 32 GB memory card, but it would be possible to attach a mass memory via USB OTG. But then I would have to power the phone directly from the wall plug (which should be possible with a normal 5V charger and a diode), but ... meh, next project .
A small demonstration you can see here:
