[Q] Android Kitchen - General Questions and Answers

I really like this Android Kitchen Tutorial But the video resolution is small; or I am old I can not see what she is doing. I went to youtube and expanded it, but the image is fuzzy. Is there some way of getting a better quality image or a written list of what needs to be done? ( i.e. I see a list like she connects Windows to Linux guest etc. But I wanna see which directories she connects and all the details. ) Also I am looking to build for Samsung Note 3 - Sprint Variant SM-N900P. Has anyone tried these procedures for the same platform? Does it work?
Oh and thanks to the OP; she is very comprehensive and organized.

Enquire on making of galaxy tab theme

Hi all, i need to enquire in regards of making a galaxy tab 7.1 theme. Want to check is there any GUI based icon creator and theme maker to use in windows platform for creating of the theme?
Okay, a few problems with this message:
1. I don't think there is such a thing as a 7.1" Galaxy Tab. The original was 7", the replacement is also 7" and the only other is the 7.7" (both of which are a whole new OS).
2. A GUI-based Icon Creator? As far as I can tell, Microsoft Paint *could* be a GUI Icon Creator. Any image-editing application can be used to create icons, so its just a matter of personal preference beyond that. (For example, I use Adobe Fireworks for my work)
3. Android themes are combinations of raw images, 9-patch files and XMLs that control the behaviour of the UI. Unless you're fully comfortable with all of these, you probably shouldn't be theming your device.
4. Try reading up on the topic first. Since this is your first post, you should probably try actually reading and searching on Google and on XDA to find out about Android themes before you go asking for nice GUI IDE's.
In short, there is no single unifying solution for creating a complete Android theme on a Windows PC. However, dakra's Online Kitchen will probably be able to get you what you're looking for. Check it out here.
In future, please always read and search forums for similar questions before posting and be as specific as you can possibly be, so people can help you out more easily.

[Idea/Project] Ambilight for Android

Hello,
like maybe others here I own an Android TV box (Flexiview FV-1)
More info here: Flexiview.tv
I think for the price is a really good homme movie solution.
The idea is to adapt a DIY Ambilight system on it . I dont know if there any possibilities but here are some way :
- Boblight (developed for Linux) : if I'm not mistaken Android is a derivative of Linux, then maybe there is a possibility to adapt Boblight for Android or directly creat an application to work with it .
- Arduino ambilight system : Many ambilight solution exist based on arduino, this is a simple and cheap way to create the system . This system can work with Boblight .
Here are some exemple :
Adalight
Amblone
Atmolight
Some video demonstration of Boblight + Arduino :
Here are the base of the project.
If any here thing is a good project or want to join us, dont hesitate !
[Edit] Sorry, I'm new here, I can't post URL ...
I do not provide anything valuable to offer this project except some subtle encouragement. I'm currently working on on my own Ambilight system using www.livelightproject.com and Boblight.
What I would like to see from this project, which is related to your post, is an Android application that can change the colors of the LED's to static colors or to changing colors depending on the image on screen.
Just a thought.
Hello,
are there any updates for using "Boblight" or any other program to get the Atmolight running with an Android Hardware?
Thanks
+1 from me, would be awesome to have cheap HTPC setup running on androidw with XBMC and a DIY ambilight
Mirlight2

Someone need to create Android Application based on this included in Python.
Hi everybody, look here, maybe this will help: ambilight+tender-complex+ru/en/ ,replace pluses with dots.

[Completed] integrating android into factory touch screen?

Hi Guys,
This is my first post but I've used lots of the information on this website over the years. I build custom automotive interiors and have in the past 5 years integrated dozens of android and ios systems into cars. I'm trying to figure out a way to skip all the fabrication of dash bezels by directly integrating into the existing factory lcd touch screens.
I would like to use the existing touch screen in my Ford Edge to interface with an android tablet.
Ideally I'd like to take an existing tablet or phone that I own (Galaxy tab 2 10.1 or Galaxy s4 phone) and send the touch and video information to my stock Ford Screen
CarPerformance .se has a kit that includes an android system with a board that switches the source being sent to the screen with the push of a button allowing you to switch between the Ford information screen, android computer with touchsceen interfacing and video inputs
below is a link to the install instructions and a video of its operation
carperformance.se/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/My-ford-touch-Android-install-manual.pdf
carperformance.se/?product=2001-2014-ford-edge-android-system
(links are broken because I'm too new to post links)
I would like to know if there is a prebuilt video switcher similar to the one above that would allow me to switch between sources and woulld allow me to connect one of my android devices
The reason I want to do this on my own instead of ordering the above product is that it runs older android software and does not have cellular capability.
if someone could point me to the right information I would greatly appreciate it as I'm sure these screens are fairly universal however I don't know what exactly to search.

Greetings and welcome to assist. It sounds like a very interesting concept but there is very little information on this type of thing on xda. I'd try asking in this forum

hopefully the experts there can assist your further
Good Luck

What's the easiest way for me to make an icon pack with no Java experience?

The only Android dev experience that I have is with React Native, and that doesn't really seem like an option here. I've created about 20 icons that are 192x192 png images, and I'd like to start testing them on my phone. What is the fastest way to get them onto my phone with a basic app given that I have no Android Studio experience? The tutorials I've found online seem a little advanced for someone with no experience.
I'm surprised that I can't find a GUI tool for this :/

Greetings, Somewhat tech Savvy retiree with a new device and needing a little help/info

I have a Tab S8 Ultra. I really like using DEX to emulate a computing environment. I have a small business and able to do just about everyting in need with it. However, it's not a 'true' laptop. Nevertheless, I want to cut ties with the laptop. There's one program I really need to do so. I have HGTV Home & Landscape Platimum Suite ver 3. It is, of course, windows based and my tablet is Android. Does anyone know of any available Drivers that will allow me to run it or is it even possible?
I just read an XDA contribution piece by Kyle Wiggers in January 2018 about "WINE - Compatability Layer for Windows. I'm really not sure if im on the right track here. However, this is the closest info I've found concering what I'd like to do. I'm wondering if there is any more development on this.
