I just purchased a "Jetstream 4K Ultra HD Android TV Box" from Walmart to replace my aging WD Play. Has anyone had any experience using or rooting these devices? I ask, because I've de-Googled my phone via root, and I'd like to keep this as Google-free as possible. Thanks!
I would also love to know if anyone knows how to root this. I have searched everywhere I can think of but have came up with no definitive solutions..
Can you use any 905x ROM? Are these any good at all? Stock is questionable for sure

I guess these are locked up?
I've loaded a codec for mx player pro that plays everything ive tried so far so is that as good as it gets.
Is this thread still around or do my messages fall on deaf ears? I guess as the manufacturers get better and google does their thing, rooting hasn't seemed as needed as it once was. My Galaxy s8 definitely doesn't need it as it does all the things I once needed root to do. My assumption these devices are there or they are close enough.

When is Android getting a Netflix app that supports streaming?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
iOS and WP7 have it? Why not Android?

I have a Netflix account that begs to be streamed on my 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab.
My Tab works fine with several video streaming sites - but Netflix refuses to install directly from their web site...saying that my device is not supported.
I understand the process. But I'm growing a strong resentment of Netflix's attitude about this whole thing. They imply that they just haven't certified that the Galaxy Tab is compatible with their streaming service. Yet many comparable android devices are. Sheesh, how long could it take to check that out?
I have a feeling that Netflix has made a deal somewhere to delay or obfuscate the use of devices competitive to the iPad (or maybe some other tablet). Who knows?
But it is frustrating to say the least.
i had read somewhere that netflix did not want to release it until all problems were worked out, and since there are many different versions of Android (EVO, DESIREHD, NEXUS) they wanted to have a universal. To say the least android required more from the dev team. Should be out very soon, but if not im sure there are leaks somewhere.
I know it's a huge disappointment that HTC didn't put in a HDMI port, something that didn't bother me until recently.
I know for a fact that DLNA works great for streaming videos and photos taken on my phone to my TV, even on CM7.
I also just recently saw those youtube videos of guys using their Evo 4gs as their desktop, and wondered if there was a way for this to be accomplished on our phones. I was mainly thinking there was some way to work some magic over DLNA, and then bluetooth speakers, mouse and keyboard for the rest.
Anyone know if this is possible at all or even semi possible?
(I tried to search before posting but the search was down)
I'm also looking for an answer to this
I would like to see some idea on this too. I guess we're in the minority.
I agree as well, this is something I would be interested in. I remember when I bought my previous phone (nokia 5800 XM). I was quite excited about it's video out function, only to find it's composite analog video out to be wanting.
When I was trying to decide between inspire and the Atrix, a big deciding point for me was the untested nature of the dual core, and so far I like the results of my choice, the 2nd gen snapdragon has plenty of ooomph to play my highly compressed x264 mkvs and the battery is somewhat reasonable, however the screen mirroring is something I would really be interested in, surely with the gpu/cpu combo in place some kind of solution could be put into place, it doesn't take that much bandwidth to push a 2d desktop worth of images, especially with modern network speeds.
Here's hoping!
I am really hoping for a way to do this too. That new crackle app would be a lot nicer if I could watch it on my tv.

I was searching for it too, but no luck.... Hope someone gets hands on this
I'm also looking for a way to mirror the screen of my sony tablet S to the TV set - via dlna?
would be cool to hear from someone with dlna related developement experience.
They say it's not even possible to make a screenshot on android without root permissions. (no, please dont start a discussion about screenshots now, explaining how wrong I am
Dude, I think you've got the wrong section, this is the INSPIRE 4G SECTION.
hope someone posts a tutorial
no matter what section. the problem is the same on all dlna capable devices.

So, i cam across this on a tech for old people article of cnet, of all places. but i was looking at it, and i'm curious about it. it looks like it could be a fun thing to tinker with, but is that even possible? It says it runs froyo, can't be too crippled because it has a web browser. Only has "AppsLib" tho, not the market.
Also i can't seem to find it anywhere online >_<
EDIT: wait a sec, has this thing even been released yet?
be honest I was looking at picking one of these up myself. The prospect of running Google music (I did get into that beta) and having access to all my music seems good. Alarm clock functions are also a plus. I imagine it will be root-able and someone will make a g-apps package for it. It has a front facing cam as well so it could possibly run skype, qik, etc. or if 2.3.4+ was installed, Google talk. The Chumby folks also released an android app that emulates a chumby device fully and connects to their services so you could use this as a chumby / Sony dash.
Once you have appslib, just download arctools and ta-dah! Instant LATEST market. As for being rootable, I think any Archos is. The only problem the 35 HC may have is lack of RAM/a slow processor...

Buy the 35hc perhaps as a toy and all is fine. basic email,fring,games. Please don't expect miracles. It's like buying a budget compact camera and expecting dslr quality.

Im looking for a good alternative for my Dad to watch streaming movies/tv from his room
Hes not greatly tech savvy. I like the ideas of the MK808 but to find any concise information is hard it seems.
How easy is it to get working from a phone, meaning using his smart phone to control and be able to type from his phone?
Will he be able to use the full website version of Hulu Plus?
How hard is it to flash a new ROM? I see Finless mentioned a lot, Im assuming this is probably the best rom for the type of device?
He will probably only really use it for watching netflix and hulu, maybe the occasional web search.
Now if I were to get one for me however, how well does it handle uhhh lets say "adult situations" I just got a Note 3, how will it stack up?
Any info would be great, what experiences do you guys have personally with android sticks?

I've been trying to root my Kindle Fire without success for several days as well as my Galaxy 4 tablet, and it is just too much to deal with for a couple of tablets.
However, I've decided I do want a rooted tablet, something without all the bloatware and that isn't tracking every search I do or order I make to Amazon, or even an email I send to my doctor for all I know. So I 'm asking for help deciding what to buy, as you guys all know way more than I do about this stuff.
What is the best tablet to own if you want a rooted device? I'll be using it for gaming (Clash of Clans, nothing to graphic intensive) and the standard things like watching YouTube videos or maybe a movie on Netflix.
I kneel before the great android sages and ask for your guidance. What tablet would you buy if you wanted a quality device that was easy to root?
Thank you!
