[Q] Recommendation for Android Tablets pls
Hey Guys,
I have seen many threads with different versions of tablet and i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a good one.
I'm after a reasonably priced (meaning Chinese manufacturers less known brand) within a budget of £200, preferably 10 inch tablet.
I'm planning to upgrade afterwards to Android 2.2 or 2.3 (is possible) using your amazing mod ROMS.
Any advice recommendation would be great.
And any sellers that you have used (reliable ones) would also be much appreciated.
Cheers

just make sure you buy something with a capacitive touch screen. I bought a cheapie 7" tablet for my son to play some android games on and it is only resistive touch which makes it a pain to get used to.
It works but you'll want to spend the few extra bucks to get something nice.
Thanx a bunch
Hi folks,
thanx for suggestions.... let me check em out and see how they r.
i saw the latest Gipad and Sipad....... kinda of hit n miss in some areas.
any thoughts

Hi,
If you have a Android tablet/device with Resistive Touch screen and HDMI out, you can probably connect an external LCD screen with Touch panel to it.
Based on- / inspired by- the Martin Drashkov experiment (martin.drashkov.com/2011/09/android-megapad-23-android-tablet-for.html) I tried a mod with a 23 inch Resistive touch Panel (and external LCD screen) on an Android Tablet with Resistive Touch screen and succeeded.
The Resistive screen tablets use - in most cases - 4 wire Resistive Touch panels.
These panels are "interchangeable". The 23 inch Resistive touch panel I used for my proof of concept worked absolutely fine and without the need to adjust settings on touch positions.
See my blog post about it:
beyondthekeeboard.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/bigscreen-android-with-touch/
If anyone is doing similar experiments, please share.
It is fun to know what else is going on.
Different approach
I`m digging your post out, since I´m just about to evaluate a different approach on adding a larger, external TS.
Since recent Android revisions have full support for USB host mode, it should be possible to use a large Multitouch-Monitor as output device (MHL to HDMI). The Touchscreen (Acer T231Hbmid MultiTouch) has an USB-Output for parsing the HID, which (I hope) should work with my SGS3.
I will post the results after testing this setup on weekend.

Hello, look your messages please)
Seriously would love to know if this worked.
I am thinking of getting a Android on a stick for use in a 23" touch panel exterior monitor for use as an interactive display at a trade show.
Wondering if this concept will work.
I have an Acer T231Hbmid MultiTouch and a MK802II Rikomagic device. I try, but i don´t get it to work. If you have any idea, tell me, i will test it.
Acer T231Hbmid + MK802II works (USB connected). Search for "Acer T231Hbmid + MK802II" at youtube.com (its a bit laggy). Just get the right driver compiled and insmod them with a terminal.
Here are some links that seem relevant. I have been wanting to try a similar thing over bluetooth (which is proving to be difficult so far). I am going to take a step back and try usb first now.

The Asus Transformer seems to use an input device configuration(idc) file, as I had my friend take a look and indeed there existed more than on my GS3. I think it is for the touchpad equipped keyboard.
I've been trying to do this for a while with my Dell 22" touch screen and my Motorola Xoom and it finally worked by using a USB OTG adapter from Amazon for about £1.50. Winner.
The only problem I have is having to use a keyboard to go home as the bar at the bottom of the screen is not displayed to touch. Is there a work around to this?
you guys are awesome!
There is definitely a market for this. A lot of people I know would love to have a larger touch display that can be set up in a car that can be used to control music, maps, and that plays movies while connected to an android phone.
I say you guys should put these ideas together and work on getting patents before someone exploits the market.
If you hold patents, other people with more time and resources can further developed the concepts, while you still get a piece of the pie.
Brilliant!
Hi there.
Is there a small screen for this?
I'm thinking of a car screen for my phone. Something like a 7 or maybe 8 inches screen.
check it out

Another company looks like they have something similar to the MimicsX2 thing called "Smartphone Uplink SPU700". I am trying to find someone who has used it (or both would be excellent for an actual review/comparison ) before I buy one...
Woow interesting subject! :good:
I was wondering is there any possibility to do this with a nexus 5? My point is: can I make myself an external touch screen using the phone's slimport to hdmi capability to use it like an asus padfone or so (without additional battery)?
I would like to control my Samsung Galaxy S3 (MHL compatible) via a MHL 3.0 cable and this touchscreen. Any ideas/advice?
Hello I am trying to connect a 9" TFT resistive touchscreen and controller to my android device and are having headaches about the instructions for the drivers
Here is the link to the driver, I don't know how out dated this is but I'm trying it out, I have a Motorola Droid razr Model XT912
The device has an Micro HDMI output as well as micro USB. I have the USB adapter for the touch screen.

This might be able to work on Android Tablets and Phones?
Can a resistive touch panel with a USB controller be an optional add on for Android Tablet

hi guys...
i find id hard to find a decission about buying a motorola xoom 1 for portable pentesting.
i want to go for backtrack on the device, cause i have been reading that this is the best device for backtrack and because of the " Monitor / injecting mode".
in this conclusion i got 3 questions and i hope you guys can help med.
the first is ...do you guys agree that i should go for this device or is their better alternatives for my purpuse (monitor mode)
have any of you have expirience with the sslstrip "yamas" on this device.
is it possible to use a Alfa AWUS036NHA on the zoom.
i want to state that i have an ipad for "fun" like games and movies, so buying a new tablet is only for pentesting!
Wouldn't it be better to buy a cheap netbook? Mod it to use a better antenna, away you go.
Hi all,
Looking for a small android device, maybe bigger than a 6th gen iPod nano (ie the one that is simply a screen, can be turned in to a watch etc)
A phone or iPod touch sized device is too big. Closest I have found is a motoractv but the screen is just a bit toos mall.
So basically requirements are small, but bigger gain an iPod nano/motoactv, as light as possible, runs android.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi all!
I just bought an Eonon GA8153A for my Seat Leon. Spec is as follows :
Designed for Volkswagen/SEAT/SKODA
Allwinner T8 Processor
Android 7.1 Nougat
2GB Ram
32GM Rom
Having been involved with tinkering in Android previously. I decided to look if a custom rom was available for it, I can't seem to find anything but I see lots of devices seem to all be the same ones just badged up differently. does anybody know if this unit will be compatible with any existing Roms?
Thanks in advance for any information anybody can offer!

So it's arrived today and I've installed it in my car, operation seems Smooth but seemingly simple feature of iPod connection is missing! I didn't expect that one to be missing. I knew Apple CarPlay was going to be a long shot but I did expect it to still have standard iPod connectivity via the usb cable!
I see there are CarPlay adapters so I'm contemplating ordering one of those for it. Both myself and my wife have Apple devices so would make sense to have the function really.
Before I spend even more money trying to get the head unit to do what I thought wore be basic functionality, am I missing the blatantly obvious to get iPod connection to work?
