Hi Everyone,
Has anyone had any experience in mass device deployment? I am looking for a solution that would ideally allow me to create a device image from a reference device to then deploy to remaining devices (up to 100) of the same type. Ideally I would like to do this without the need to root the devices but at this point I will take any information I can.
Thanks!

Hello,
Are there any tools or applications available that allow for the quick profiling of android devices in general?
In need of a large solution to quickly identify devices specifications and hardware limitations in order to port appropriate builds.
Thanks for your help!
Hi Xda developers,
I might get involved in project during internship, where they want me to find way how to connect android device to custom made proprietary radio transmitter-receiver board without bluetooth or wifi, so it has to be direct wired connection.
This radio transmitter-receiver board has its own microchips and firmware so all low level work and functions will be done in this board alone.
Does anyone has idea how this could be done? is it possible to write some drivers (probably C) to communicate with this board over micro usb port present in all android devices? And than how could be data received over radio used in basic java-android application installed on device? (could this be done with use of a binary/text file as a link between these two programs?)
Thanks in advance
If nobody knows or has time to answer my questions, please give me some tips where to start searching for answers (websites, books, magazines .... )
Is it essential to learn Linux architecture properly before modifying anything in android?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a tablet which is going to act as the user interface for my research project, but the technical nature means that I have some particular requirements which are pretty much impossible to ascertain from reviews or even some serious Google-fu. As there seem to be a number of experts in this forum I figured some people here might be able to lend some advice...
My main issue is that I need robust, ideally wired communication with a PC - presumably via USB. I have read that USB connections are possible with Android but I get conflicting reports about how easy it is, and no real information on the bandwidth of such a connection. Has anyone had any experience with this? I need to be streaming real-time images to the tablet, would this be suitable?
This sort of leads on to a second issue which is that it would really be preferable, from a development point of view, to have it running a Linux distro. I am wondering whether this might make USB connectivity easier, but again this information is very hard to come by. So, does anyone know of a tablet which I can put Ubuntu on and have full access to the USB port? Again, any sort of information or experience would be greatly appreciated.
As it's not my money I'm spending I really need to be sure that this will do what I want in advance, so any advice in general about doing this would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance

Honeycomb 3.1 is a solid operating system which will be able to perform the actions you listed. However, steaming data seamlessly will require a device with suitable RAM and processor speed. One nice feature with android devices is the ability to overclock the processor. If you choose to go with android honeycomb a good device would be the Xoom or Acer

Intersting, thanks, I'd not seen that. It looks like this ticks off Android 3.1 as a suitable platform, in which case my final question is whether anyone knows of a tablet which can have a native Ubuntu installation, with full access to the USB, display device etc. It would be the ideal situation from a development point of view.
Thanks again.
When I plug a USB device into an Android tablet, the OS has the ability to "know" what app needs to be launched in order to handle it. This is probably based on the VID/PID values that come from the USB device during configuration. But somewhere, Android must be storing the relationship between VID/PID and application. Where is that mapping stored? I've searched and cannot find anything on this topic.
Thanks!
Hi,
I am pretty new to Android development and wondering if it is possible to create an application that allows a user to connect and send AT commands to a device remotely from a desktop and if so, point me in the direction on where to start on this.
Also, would the device have to be rooted to send/receive the commands?
Thanks
