[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
Hello!

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] [Q] Intel IA and Android x86 integration

So I'm trying to get Android running on my Yoga 2 Pro (not the Yoga Tablet Pro 2 or whatever its called)
IM ASSUMING MANY EFI devices are having the same problems as well. Fill free to contribute
I was able to get Android IA dual booting very smooth with windows. However I have a few issues (I'm not a developer, I'm a noob, but probably have enough skills to contribute fruitfully to the conversation)
It works ...ok...As many of you know it doesn't have gapps, and I cannot figure out how to install gapps. it cant be installed like a traditional android device where one can flash it...
As of now, Display support works great. Both touch and hi resolution support
no sound
no bluetooth
accelerometer not working
Many apps don't work on intel ia as well....netflix, watchespn...etc
After fooling around with intel IA, I tried Android x86 instead...heres what I got from it.
Only could boot into Android from the live CD (my case thumb drive) when using VESA mode
graphic is not supported at high resolution (only in VESA mode)
gapps worked well with Android X86
Sound works
bluetooth (not tested)
I could not get Android x86 to install AT ALL...I can't figure out how to boot into android x86 using VESA on grub
So my question is this...How do I begin integrating the two if it is possible (I've read somewhere the kernals are different)..do I need to use Kitchen or can this be done by copying and pasting lib, and apks?.
I need the graphic support of Android IA
Sound support of Android X86
Working Gapps
whatever arm translator that seems to work in Android X86 as apps seem to work a little better
EFI support of Android IA
Any takers?
If anyone needs a tutorial on how to get intel IA working on Yoga 2 pro, I'll post one if needed
Hi,
Would be best to ask about this here,
Chef Central
I'm thinking the windows section would be best, but I'll leave that to you.
Good luck!

[Completed] help me with easycap viewer

hello,
i bought the easycap viewer android application,
and installed it on my devices
The easycap viewer needs an easycap frame grabber , connected via usb to the device and connected to a camera (via bnc or s-video or rca connector)
the devices i have are these:
- Acer iconia tab a500 (tegra 2 , android 4.03)
- Created N7 (china phablet, mt6592, android 4.4.2)
- Xiaomi m2s (qualcomm snapdragon, miui v5)
The application does work flawlessly with the Xiaomi m2s,
instead:
on the Acer, when i start the app, the screen become black, and the app is not responding
on the Created N7,, the appl starts , but when i connect the camera, i cannot see the video coming from the camera
I dont understand why on these devices the app does not work,
and need help to understand what is the cause of the problem.
The app includes an option to send log report to the developer
(autodroid), i sent it, but autodroid told me to try with a powered hub, but this did not help...now they are working on other project, so they told me they cannot help
Could you please help me to find the cause of the problems?
By the way, on the Acer i cannot send the report, because the appl is not responding:
so i enabled the logcat, and i was able to see in it that the appl is hanging when it tries to load the streaming library...
Could yoy help me?
I can send you all the data you need to debug the appl..
or, if not possible to fix it, could you suggest me an alternative frame grabber application/usb dongle that can work with my devices?
Thank you!!
Lodovico
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Not all apps are universally compatible So apps support only certain set of devices whose Specifications match with application and hence for your devices its not supporting
Thank you
I know that sometime, with some simple fix to an application, it can work for a broader range of devices...
Or, sometimes, the issue can be solved with an upgrade to the os of the device ... (for example, i could try to upgrade my Acer A500 to the 4.4 Omnirom and see what happens...)
Perhaps the developer has stopped working on this application, but with some simple fix it could work also with my devices
Are you sure that this is not the case?
By the way, i faced a problem like this with an other application, the IrDroid, (available for free on the Play Store)
It didn't work with my Sony tv, but then i was able to find the sources (it was open source), debug them ( i installed the SDK on my pc), do a simple fix, compile them, and get an IrDroid app that now works also with my Sony tv , flawlessly...
The easycap is not open source, but i found some russian language forums, where there is an active thread about the easycap application,and applications like it (example... carcam) ...perhaps there some program sources are available...
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Trouble with Android TV Boxes

Hi,
Deepak here from India. I am building my new business platform for which I am running my App on Android TV Boxes. I have tried many Android TV Boxes and there are few issues I have faced right from the beginning:
1. Availability of the right version of the FW
2. No support for configuring device/running apps in native-portrait mode. Of what I understand, Android TV makers lock the native orientation because thats how people watch TV. TV boxes with Amlogic processors so have this option but the performance of Amlogic devices is very poor compared to Rockchip ones
3. Non-availability of Rooted FW
I have been looking around a lot to build a custom firmware, but am unable to do so with my specific requirements. After pretty much giving up in my efforts, I call for help.
Is there anyone/any forum/any website where I can have a custom firmware built for my specific use? I don't mind paying for the efforts. What I am looking for is:
1. Android 4.4.4 rooted firmware (5.0/5.1 can also work)
2. Ability to run apps in portrait mode (orientation based on app request)
The above should be compatible with any of the latest available Rockchip based Android TV Box hardware (MXQ, MXQ 4K). Any bit of help in this regard would be truly and greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Regards,
Deepak

Progress but still not quite there with my Lenovo X1 Tablet

Good day all. Hope this messages finds you safe and well in these challenging times.
I'm hoping to find some help a goal I have to have a single tablet PC that serves as both my daily driver PC running my OS of choice (Linux) and having the ability to dual-boot into Android for things like media consumption, reading books, etc.
I was fortunate to be gifted a Lenovo X1 Tablet 3rd Gen PC from a family member, and I'm truly enjoying it from the perspective of the form factor (it's similar to probably a Microsoft Surface tablet). Spec's can be found here:
[https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/tablet...es/ThinkPad-X1-Tablet-3rd-Gen/p/22TP2CP0113#)
But it's essentially an 8th Gen Core i7 with vPro, Intel 620UHD Graphics driving a 3:2 aspect ratio 3000x2000 native resolution touch screen with WACOM digitizer, 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, etc.
I have tried just about every ISO that BlissOS offers (as well as other such as Android X86) and simply cannot get anywhere in the installation. Occasionally the boot process will get as far as displaying some of the boot sequence, and then he screen will go black and either have a flashing or solid cursor in the upper left corner. On the newer ISO's, I could get to the point where I can hear some audio. And in some cases, the screen will sort of flash lighter and then darker (like the backlight is getting brighter and then dimmer). But at no point did I ever see an Android desktop.
I tried to boot the ISO as a Qemu VM, and this does seem to work (as I can see the full boot sequence and get to a point where I'm looking at an Android desktop). Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to configure the VM for proper touch support. Ideally, I'd rather have Android running natively on the device.
I'm finding references to others who have tried this on the Lenovo X1 Tablets and had either moderate or no success. A no point could I find a guide or reference on what combination would allow BlissOS (or any Android X86 based solution) to boot and install on this hardware.
To anyone who could help me get BlissOS running and installed on this tablet, I'd be truly in your debt.
Thanks in advance.
---
Update:
After some more research and experimentation, I was successful in getting Bliss OS installed and running on the bare metal of my Lenovo X1 tablet 3rd gen. However, the install isn't ideal as I leveraged an install script from JAXPARROW on Github (https://github.com/jaxparrow07/Android-x86-Installer-Linux) to complete the install. While this allows me to install and boot BlossOS (and other Android X86 releases) on the tablet, it's installing into a folder of the existing Linux ext4 filesystem and using the existing grub to boot. Ideally, I'd want the Android install in its own partition and ultimately use something like Refind as the boot manager.
I've attached an image of the grub entry that the JAXPARROW scripted install creates. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out what his script is doing that allows me to boot and install Android X86 on this hardware that a native boot and install won't work (black screen with a non-blinking cursor).
If anyone has any thoughts or feedback, I'd be grateful. I'm excited by the prospect that at least now I know I can run Android X86 on this hardware. And BlissOS is an amazing desktop implementation of Android.
Hardware is 2018 edition of the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Tablet 3rd Generation:
ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 | 2-in-1 Laptop Tablet
The ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 delivers the best 2-in-1 tablet performance with a large 13" screen, detachable keyboard, and premium security features for work.

Graphics are Intel 620 HD

Thanks in advance.

Hi @tech101, I am interested in buying a used thinkpad x1 tablet 3rd gen and planned to dual android or chrome os with windows.
Have you been able to successfully make android work?
this link https://github.com/jaxparrow07/Android-x86-Installer-Linux does not exist anymore.
Hello, I'm the developer of the mentioned project. I'm glad to see you're able to boot after installing via the installer. The installer has been updated recently with bug fixes and other distro support ( comes as a single executable instead of an installer ).

You can do that by mounting them beforehand via cli or by a FileManager and then choosing in the Installation Partition in the installer.
Mounting a partition e.g : In Dolphin, you can do that by right clicking a partition
​
Basic help such as finding your filesystem name ( sda5 etc.,. ) is available in the installer's help menu
Help menu ( Ctrl + H or Help > Help in the menu)

If you take a look at the line which has linux in it. It loads the kernel. With some parameters, it's possible to boot the android.
Bash:
linux /{name}/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/{osname}/ noibrs noibpb nopti nospectre_v2 nospectre_v1 l1tf=off nospec_store_bypass_disable no_stf_barrier mds=off intel_pstate=disable mitigations=off
As explained by @Night(SG) in this commit. We removed the unnecessary ( in most cases ) kernel parameters ( ig which used to help you boot in this case ).
You can test the latest release and let us know if you're able to boot. If not, I'll add an option to enable the extra parameters while installing.

OP made a typo, here's the correct link :
https://github.com/jaxparrow07/Androidx86-Installer-Linux
( unnecessary "-" after Android caused this )
