Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.
A friend and I are restoring an old car and am thinking of doing something different for the dash, we want to see if we can use a tab for the main display but also have it removable and use it as the key.
Before I go into too much detail, is it possible to get or create software that can read the sensors that come from the engine?

Of course, it is possible. All you have to do is use Arduino boards with Bluetooth adapter and link it to your tab. I would recommend you to google about android car robotics or about arduino boards. I'm really not sure about the entire mechanism but I've seen such implementations. Keep trying and you would find a solution. All the best. :good:
P.S. Kindly search forums related to your requirement. This forum doesn't seem to discuss such implementations.

Well, is it possible? My video card (ati v7800) has two outputs. So can i just plug in the laptop via vga w/dvi adapter and have it work? or do they have to have the same os to work that way? I want to use the Windows 7 desktop as the main pc. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks.
... really? Does this have ANYTHING to do with the Infuse?

No... it doesn't... at all...you need to move this thread to a Microsoft website.

No, the laptop also has outputs, you can't combine output with output.
If you would have Linux on your desktop-station you could create a second screen-device with a VNC-Server, run a second X-server on that screen and display the screen through your local network with ubuntu on the laptop.
BUT then you have 2 choices how to interact with your second X-server
#1 with the laptops keyboard an mouse
#2 you could pipe your PC interfaces to the laptop through network, but it might be a little tricky to switch between the X-servers
AND with crappy windows something like that will not work i think..
-> Final answer: NO
[Ok, you might find a win-program that allows to pipe the output of a second monitor an a VNC-server, that would solve the problem. But i think something like that doesn't exist]
Greetings
-schumi-
it wont work like you described but like the above person mentioned you can access the PC with vnc software. what you will have to see is if you can find a vnc server that can emulate a second display and extend the desktop to it so it doesn't just mirror the primary display. it is possible in theory to program but I dont know if it exists.
another option would be a USB video capture card for the laptop but ya gotta research which ones work with Linux. also a second monitor is so cheap and easy to come by you are just making thins hard for the sake of making things hard. if you pickup a second display you can use a vnc server on the laptop instead and have the option the access Linux that way. or forget the laptop and create a virtual machine provided you have a bunch of ram available.
Your feeding this op in the wrong section

last I checked I found this thread in general. but if you mean its not infuse or android related then I guess you're right. this could have been asked on a Ubuntu or Microsoft forum.

Ah. Ok.
I'm so sorry that i tried to give the OP some information about his problem. I will do this never again, I promise!
Seriously?!
YOU are the one with the 3k8 posts, mister senior member. Exactly YOU should know how to move the thread into the right section or inform a mod about this. (And delete post #2 #3 #4 #7 #8 (and remove this part in my post))
"whuhu wrong section.. my mum will come right over here.." thats not what i expect from a member with your experience about moving in this forum.
Greetings
the noob with just 2 posts..
PS: And YOU with your 3k8 posts should know how annoying it is when someone says exactly one sentence and his reply fills the whole screen
@Topic: What might work also:
You could try to start the vnc-server with 2 screens. The 1. (left) monitor will be displayed as regular. The second (right) is only "virtual". Then you should be able to display the second one on the laptop (But i don't know how to cut out the second one from the whole vncstream)
I really didnt expect anyone to reply, but any help is needed. I felt like this forum is familiar to me now and I was sure you guys had some great ideas, with you being devs and all. And it seemed like a simple question to ask. Wasnt tryin to spam the forum honestly.
That said, I have tried to "force" my windows 7 to extend the desktop to another monitor even though there isnt one plugged in. But it wont let me save the changes once i set them. I imagine that if i were to install a virtual video driver that maybe i could do it. But its slowly becoming more trouble. I only wanted to do this because I have a old laptop that I just installed ubuntu on. And ive seen people use there laptops as second monitors through cables. There is a famous cnet video of a guy doing it using windows xp and an xp laptop. And it worked perfectly.
idk. I see this program called maxivista. Im thinking of running this under winehq. apparently it works. although you have to pair it with Synergy for mouse actions. And it costs 40 bucks =/
Yea... that's what I meant dani ...no disrespect to you... just didn't want op thinking that he posted in the right forum.... should have been in android general discussion is all I was getting at... not an infuse related topic. Didn't want the mod shutting him down before he got his answer.

Hi everyone.
I've got a question for everyone out there. You know those FM transmitters that you can purchase for ipods mp3 palyers etc, is it possible to make our FM chips transmit instead of receive? Would be fantastic to use in the car as a music player through cars stereo via FM frequency and no additional cables etc...
Just asking....

No. It's hardware based, not software.
Please, next time post question in Q and A subforum. Not Development.
First of all WRONG SECTION
Second - No. You would need to open the phone and change the hardware and possibly the software too. So no.
Since it's illegal in France I don't think Samsung include it
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium
No, it's not possible + illegal in many countries as you need licenses for transmitting.. However if you are so curious grab a wireless headphone and use it's transmitting unit that works as short range transmitter... (WORKED FOR ME ) but you CANNOT use Radio as a Transmitter coz Transmitter uses many other things (ask electronics expert)
SECOND - WRONG SECTION SO REPORTED.. You should use Google and not XDA. This is Android Development section and your question is not related to neither Android nor Development..
Come on, one guy is enough. He got the point. We don't need a whole team to do the bashing. just saying

Hi I've just received a new tablet , I know its not the best on the market but I have faith that it could be good.
I've followed a few threads on this forum with out having an account, and found the information to be very helpful with my late lg gt540 and my htc desire.
now as you can see at the bottom of this post I've got a DLR_MID. it has no name on the box apart from mid and nothing on the tablet itself, so finding a rom is somewhat fustrating. as the base rom has caused me a few issues i would prefer cmx or similar, with full root as well.
What information would a chef need from me to create a beautiful and tasty maserpiece. Also so advice from someone on one of the issues caused by the rom would be greatly appreciated and I'll go more into that now.
My tablwt has 2 internal storage bays showing up. 1 is listed as internal storage the other as internal sd. When I first got the tablet the sd was registering as 4Gb. I used the intwrnal a2sd function of the rom to move some apps. Without any warning the tablet reset,all the apps were gone but I'm left with only 1.71Gb. I plugged it into my pc to see what would show up there and still got the same 1.71Gb. I factory reset to whole device and still the same. I xould really do with some help with this please.
If you need more info please ask. I will do all it takes from my side to resolve both issues (with some advice with being a noob to tablets)
Kind regards to all
P.s. if I have posted in the wrong area I do apologise as I am new to the forum and haven't really figured the layout properly yet.

Is there someone that could help me please. I don't want to sound pushy, but some help no matter how small would do me the greatest of good. I'm almost at my wits end with both my issues here.
Thanks in advanced

First thing you will need is to know if the bootloader is unlocked and if kernel sources are available. Normally the answer to both is no when dealing with no name devices.

How would one go about find such info out? If you couldgive directions, I will be able to provide the information you require. That's if it would be you that would need the info.

Well first thing I would do is find the OEM and then look at the site and get as much info I could about the device.
Sadly purchased through ebay, I have made countless amounts of contacts with the seller to no avail. I can only assume they only understand money transfer, not language.
I have also made a number of attempts to google, all of which have turned up nothing. There seems to be a small house in the bambo forest making tablets out of panda poo and bambo leaves.

Hello guys,
I have learnt a lot from XDA and still learning,
I work in a repairing LAB, being a software developer (of no use in Spanish Technology Growth Yet) I have stepped into hardware repairing to earn money and food you know... anyway
After encountring numerous dead samsung phones, i learnt a new name, JTAG, but I dont know anything about it so I ould go buy it with peace of mind..
I wanted to ask if I can use it universally on samsung or nokia devices or do they come with specified connections?
I will be very thankful to you guys for information.
Thanks.
Muneeb Aslam
Yes and no, JTAG cables often need to be soldered to the board (not always a plug in port on a device) and so there will be a need for various connections. The riff box can be many things there are cheap arduinos that can be made into one and I once heard someone say a 25$ raspberry pi can be turned into one but that I don't know. What ever box/board you use as a bridge needs to be connected to serial port on PC and then you need the software, which should be free and often open source.
In short its quasi universal to buy the equipment but the way you connect will vary so you may need to make or buy many connection.
A few Google searches will explain better than I can I'm sure

Arduinos can be extremely powerful if you know how to program them. I recommend you begin your search with that to save you some time and frustration as regular jigs can be a nightmare to navigate. Good luck buddy! :fingers-crossed:
i think jtag is a socket for repairing

Hello all, been searching for an answer to this, but cannot seem to find it. I do a Google search and lots of spammy sites because of the keywords I guess.. I am an apple convert. My parents are both apple people and I recently picked up an Android tablet to try it out. I have had iPhones and an older iPad for a while, so Im new to the environment. I thought who better to know about this than the folks who develop for the OS?
If I go to a mobile website like m.chatrandom.com (don't judge! Im 20 year old guy..xD) on Android Chrome it will not give me the option of activating my camera. It puts up a little box and says to click my mouse in it to activate controls. If I use firefox I get a popup that lets me pick front or rear camera and microphone. Once chosen I cannot switch back and forth. Seems to me that I should be able to. Any ideas or help for this?
Thanks!
