[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!
Here's simple Polish project for TV Ambilight:
mirley.firlej.org/mirlight2
mirley.firlej.org/files/MAMB2_foto08.jpg
There are also included sources of Python application.
Device is connected by USB (USB->Rs232).
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.

[Q] running apps on device/emulator, resources needed

Hey I've recently rooted my first phone (didn't go as smooth as i'd like it to but the phone works) Anyway, I was thinking that i might learn to develop android apps. The thing is I have a few question which i wasn't able to find answers for or they didn't help me completely.
I downloaded ADT bundle from official android developers website (basically eclipse with the plugins preinstalled, am i right).
The first problem i encountered was that the emulator was so unbelievably slow,i know it's not only my issue and that emulator is slow in general, but I wasn't expecting this. My first app the incredible Hello World app which should take user input and (probably) print it out crashed when i tried to submit the text, though that probably wasn't the fault of emulator but rather problem with my settings (seriously i had to import a lot of stuff just do a simple hello world app) So, let's get to the first question itself. Is there a way to somehow run my app on my phone/tablet (nexus 7 II) in real time? Or besides emulator and copying the app on the device there's no other option?
My second question isn't that much android orientated, but here it goes: This year we are going to learn java at school and i was thinking if i could use ADT bundle from android developers as a regular eclipse if I choose java project instead of android project. Or is it better to use separate eclipse? if so, how do i set those IDEs so that they won't interfere with one and another. It it just a matter of setting different workspaces?
The third question is: Resources. What are some good resources for developing android Apps for beginners. I do have some programming knowledge but it's lather low, i do understand basic concepts, I did use java for really basic stuff but nothing serious. What books/video tutorials or any other resources would you recommend?

New samsung Tizen phone will run Android Apps, Gears next?

Samsung's Z1 expected to drop tomorrow, will run Tizen as the default OS, but will be capable of running android apps from day one. Hopefully this will also come to the Tizen operated Gear series watches.

I hope so too. At least maybe we can sideload acl if we can get a dump of the acl app?

I made a similar thread in the galaxy gear forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...oid-apps-tizen-z1-acl-how-gear-tizen-t3002154
Haven't had any responses yet though.
We need someone with a Z1 to try and rip ACL (assuming it's free. I don't promote warez distribution). Alternately if ACL is built into the firmware we might be able to extract it from a firmware dump (but the articles I've read seem to indicate that it is not built in but needs to be installed from the tizen store and we can't access the tizen store without a Z1.)

From GWD to SDK

Hi to all
Is there a way to take the work done with the Gear Watch Designer and pass it under the TIzen SDK control?
That is: I would like to be able to make all the graphical work with the GWD and then add code with the SDK...
Do you think that is it possibile?
Thanks

It is possible to parse the XML from GWD into JavaScript(or more likely JSON). I don't have any experience with the latter two languages, so I don't really know where to go from there. This would likely be the biggest hurdle considering the .gwd(and .tpk) files are packaged more or less identically to the SDK, so you should be able to drag/drop right into a project or open the file directly. It would be nice to see Samsung implement a feature in GWD to export to a SDK project. This would seriously cut down on development time for watch faces(and potentially other apps) since you can see how the face looks as you're working on it instead of loading it to an emulator/watch every time you want to see your changes.

Anyone knows of a LineageOS with GApps compatibility VM image available?

Hi there,
So I was in need to get a virtualized environment of Android for the PC , with a VM that works great with all the Apps but doesn't have all the classic Telemetry , so basically I was referred to this link https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/android-x86 , in which I installed Fdroid and `Aurora Store` so In that lastone I started downloading all the crappy comercial apps that I needed to use , but as I see some of them are not displaying good in my screen , I am pretty sure the way I am doing this is not the best.
I know there are ways to achieve this but it is quite complex the way to do it , my guide is this chaps "Wolfgangs Channel" (I bet his name is probably Wolfgang, but who knows he is privacy focused hugh? )
Yeah so basically the steps are quite tedious and if someone knows of anyone with an image already prepared to bang , that would be great. Thank you
