Tytung's NexusHD2 based on Nexus One port

Im currently using

Tytung's NexusHD2 based on Nexus One port http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1354267

This at the time of post was the beta7, so far so good. Installed and instructed and added the additional bits for tethering and mass storage. This is on a HTC HD2.

I must admit i'm very impressed. No crashes, no hangs. all working except the camera and what else is listed, its still early days and i have faith in all the developers.

I admit i have yet to try any others but then im happy with the way this one is performing. However the one issue i have noticed is that bbc iplayer doesnt install, infact in the market place when using this phone it doesnt even find it in a search. I suspect this is down to the device name but i dont know. Im happy to wait for the next beta or rc to see what improves.

[Android General] Gamer2:
Ok ,once you have decided to install Android operating system(AOS) on your pc u'll need to..... oh wait! u must be wondering why did i create this thread since an android emulator already exists. This is why

1) This is not an emulator but a full fledged OS that can be installed along windows/linux

2) it's optimized for x86(32 bit Intel and AMD) processors so is a lot less laggy than the emu

3) it supports wifi, camera and u can install apps which you can't do on the emulator

Caution-

This build is primarily for laptops/netbooks and may not fully work on your desktop( there's no harm in trying though)

Depending on your version and Hardware, not everything may work properly

I'm not responsible for anything you do! (though i seriously doubt that it can do any harm but always exercise caution)

Once you are satisfied, lets begin

Requirements-

A USB pendrive with at least 256 mb free scpace

Internet connection

Common Sense ;)

Downloading the tools-

1)First go to this site- http://www.android-x86.org/download and download the required image(choose which version and the model of ur laptop)

2) Visit this link - http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and download Unetbootin for your OS(the one you are currently running)

Setting up the bootable image

1) Plug in your pendrive and run Unetbootin.

2) Select the "diskimage" radio button and load the ISO file

3) Set type to "USB Drive" and select ur pendrive from the drop down menu

4) Click OK and your pendrive is ready to be booted from

Booting up AOS

1) turn off your computer and plug in your pendrive

2) you need to change the boot sequence in the PC's BIOS. to do this keep pressing 'Delete" button or F12(depending on your motherboard, generally a line of text indicates the button to be pressed) on the boot/Splash screen and select external/usb as your first boot device

3) Once done, the AOS installation menu should come up, select the first option to try it without installing anything to your Hard disk.

4)If you want to install it to your Hard disk you might havta repartition ur HD to avoid windows being overwritten(i recommend not doing so but if you want to proceed, use the free software EASUS Partition Manager)

5) Bingo!! You should be running AOS on your PC now

Thank You

Thanks for starting this wonderful thread. I installed android on my netbook beside windows xp and it works great. it lets me choose which operating system i want to work with. i downloaded android-x86-4.2-20130228.iso from that website cuz i didn't know to use which one. i also created an ntfs partition for installing android. it perefectly recognizes my wireless and camera now. nothing is better than this. i'm happy with my netbook now.

Sd Card Dual boot?

As you can see, Im new here... Does this require a partition to install, or can you boot straight form usb? My other question is can you do this the same from an sd card? Thanks in advance... Sorry if its a dumb question.
[Android General] Ramesh006:
Mmmmm.... i'm going to try it now. i have created extra partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro Edition 7.5.0.1 and know i"m going to use sd card in card reader to create bootable pendrive.

wait......................................................
[Android General] Ramesh006:
i have created partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro Edition but after that my pc was lost boot. it set the c drive inactive. i used windows cd to start again. unetbootin-windows-608 didn't work for me. i used Win32DiskImager-0.9.5 which has option to choose operating system android. after that it worked but i have got one more problem. i have installed the android into newly created partition and installation was completed successfully but again i lost boot. again i used windows cd to solve boot issue to make c drive active. after that i have directly run the android without installing. it worked and run very smoothly but it was not showing my hard disk even giving root access to file manager. so finally i have decided to go virtual box. now downloading virtual box but i want to boot android from menu because i have windows,linux in boot menu now i want android also.

FYI i was using desktop and i have photon plus wireless modem. which is detecting on ppp widget but not connecting because of operating system. it was android 4.4.2 cynogenmod(rooted) and cynogenmod wont detect the internal sd and ppp widget can establish a connection without having it files in internal storage. so my advice is choose your android carefully and you can even establish internet connection from your mobile using ppp widget. there is an way to make your internal sd get detected by using terminal emulator.

my pc details 1.6ghz amd processor,1gb ram having windows xp and puppy linux
[Android General] Ramesh006:
virutual box didn't helped me. it was showing error. again i tried to boot android x86 using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.5 and format the partition into fat 32 and installed grub for windows. this time worked booted into android

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milton.bain:
Hey... Just follow these :

1. Goto settings, applications, manage applications, market and Uninstall updates and clear data and clear cache. Reboot, open market, see if it force closes?

2. If yes, then use any flashable zip to flash market.

3. HOW do i do it?

Use astro only. Open any small sized flashable zip. Goto system, apps(if there is no apps folder create it), paste vending.apk(download from any website). 4.Now, use root explorer and delete vending.apk from system/apps( don't forget to save a copy of it at your sdcard , this might come handy in case my suggestion doesn't work).

5. Reboot into xrecovery and wipe dalvik cache and flash the created zip and fix permission.

6. Reboot and wait for 5mins to settle. Now try market.

[TouchPad General] psp888:
Which chargers work on the touchpad apart from the palm one?

Will the ipad charger work? just plug in a usb to micro usb cable?

Does the touchpad actually charge from a computer USB?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
My Touchpad charges from a variety of sources, but most will give a warning or not indicate it is charging. My laptop only seems to charge the TP if the TP screen is off and I estimate it would take 10 - 12 hours for a full charge. My Blackberry Playbook charger is close to the spec of the official TP charger and charges in a similar amount of time, but as the voltage is lower I get a warning on the TP screen.
[TouchPad General] psp888:
Does your touchpad show the charging icon when you have it plugged into your laptop?
[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
No it doesn't, but if you check the % every so often, it does go up.
[TouchPad General] pa49:
To properly charge the TP it requires a power source which will give a minimum of 2Ah charge current. And it has to be specially wired internally to give the correct signals to allow the TP to switch in to being able to draw that current. Failing that charging is very slow at the standard USB rating of 500mAh.

As the TPs battery is 6000mAh max USB charging would take 12hrs.

At 2Ah it takes around 3hrs.

Assuming the device is off.
[TouchPad General] psp888:
got it, thanks
[Hardware Hacking General] eTiMaGo:
I'm installing an HTC flyer in my car permanently where the radio would go (2DIN mounting), but kind of sad at the prospect of losing camera functions (video of dashboard interiors are boring).

So, what would be involved in removing the camera module and placing it somewhere else, as the dash for example? Would I just need to unsolder the camera module, solder on a whole bunch of cables, and connect them to the same contacts? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? :p

Alternatively, if a device has USB OTG capabilities, is there any way to make it talk to a regular USB webcam?

Discuss :D
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
Alot of research could go into what you're trying to do.......

However, I'd recommend just trying it and see what happens. Make sure your wires are all the same length.

So yeah.. In this situation, i think the Leroy Jenkins approach is appropriate.
[Hardware Hacking General] Enzopreme:
PRICELESS!! lmao. @OP, awesome idea for the in dash flyer. Please post some completed pics!
[Hardware Hacking General] S.V.I:
have you thought about removing the camera from the back ad making "jumper cables" to put it up front? you might need something to make a housing for it to sit in the dash, but it would be better than writing a driver for it.
[Hardware Hacking General] Rebellos:
The thing is in adding(soldering?) 2 proper connectors to longer flex IMO, hard to do at home, but nothing is impossible. ^^

About OTG connecting - you'd probably use universal WebCam drivers from Ubuntu for eg. though the problem would be in powering that I think, WebCam has to be OTG compliant (with external power connector maybe?) or you'd need some special adapter, the rest is redirecting Android to use your webcam, but don't think it's hard comparing to other things.
[Hardware Hacking General] thatguy07:
I did this with a fascinate in my 87 BMW 325ic :cool:

I bought 2 extra cameras ( paid $16ea somewhere, cant remember off hand)

I failed at getting it to work myself as I suck at soldering.

However-

I had a friend take it into work and solder it in for me. We then took a light sensor from a 4th gen camaro , mounted it on my dash, ran the cam there, installed the phone and f-in-a . it was sweet.

this lasted for a full 3 weeks until something came undone and now the cam doesnt work. Ive switched back to the stock deck and just wired a bluetooth receiver into the tape deck, mounted a droid x down by the ashtray and it works. Not as great as what I had, but it works.

Point being, it can be done. and its pretty sweet when done right.

Wait some more weeks, cotula is developing usb host mode driver, and he has developed a working driver. Its for android. It will be available soon to public when he corrects the errors.

So u can simply plug in an usb cam to ur phone( providing only external power supplay is needed.) So u can do it with out bricking ur phone. Till then use it as a phone..

Never used live wallpapers.I avoid them like hell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Ditto. They are laggy, battery-draining pieces of crap and they should die a horrible death and be removed from Android..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesilent:
I'm wondering why some live wallpapers are laggy and others are not !

Phase Beam is almost perfect and home screens are fluid...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
I personally LOVE the live wall papers and that is all I use. I dont believe they are killing my battery much more at all. My phone lasts 15 hours a day and thats good enough for me. Wish the wind mill live wallpaper with night/day and weather updates from SGS2 was available on the GNexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I also avoid Live Wallpapers. They have caused lag issues on every Android phone I've owned. The GNex is no exception. Maybe when phones have quad core processors and 2gb+ of RAM. But even then I will probably still avoid them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
They do cause a little lag, but they are great to show off the phone. I personally use the "Beautiful weather" LWP that comes with the "Beautiful Widgets" app, and notice even less lag than the "Microbes" LWP that came stock had. And the Beautiful Weather LWP looks amazing on the screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesilent:
I am not really interested in 'fight' between : lovers / non lovers.

I'd like to know WHY STOCK live wallpapers of G Nexus are laggy and Phase Beam NOT.

It's weird...it's unusual...maybe ics code is not 'mature'... In my old NEXUS ONE live wallpapers that came out with the phone were not laggy at all !

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aratheba:
Then I'm not the only one wondering why such a thing happens!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
this is funny, people still think LWP kills battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaetawoo:
download launcher pro or go launcher ex and use the same live wallpaper and see if it still lags. I use Christmas HD and it stutters a little at the end of the homepage swipe, in both Nova and Stock Launcher (which are kinda the same) but in Launcher Pro and Go Launcher they are buttery smooth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeddyBlair:
just posted this on another thread regarding the lwp lag, but then found this one...

I don't know much at all about development, but thoughts from my own observations as to WHY this happens... Something I have noticed that I thought might have an impact on performance:

all the lwp's that have lag (for me) are ones that "move" when you switch homescreens. the bubbles fly around, the nexus 'brain' slides side to side, the microbes move, etc.

phase beam doesn't move when you slide screens. and performance is perfect (for me). that leads me to believe that the lag has something to do with ics (or whatever) moving the lwp while switching home screens.

just a thought...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryoma_Kun:
And i think ur maybe right!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaetawoo:
there is no lag in the ones that move side to side with go launcher and launcher pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xnoctis93:
highly recommend you all give Nova Launcher a try with live wallpapers, i noticed performance improve dramatically!

not sure why thought :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
That is just unbelievable! Haw on earth this hardware could be beaten by LWP? I didn't use LWP's actually but since I found THIS and found that it lags on SGN, I nerd-rage'd :mad:

I really hope that google will figure out issues with updates and one of them will fix that damn issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xarthos:
Depending on the code written for each live wallpaper you are going to find some are better than others simply by the way they are written. This should be pretty obvious and I don't understand why you guys don't see this.

Some live wallpaper that someone writes for Android that is optimized in Froyo isn't necessarily going to run like a dream on ICS and the opposite should be true as well. It's not like you throw this in an engine with defined specs and it just churns at whatever it can based on the specs of the engine. The code matters too.

This is why sometimes you see updates vastly improve performance because optimized code can speed things up. I wonder if some of these wallpapers can't even use the 2nd core.

Some are going to be better than others. I run a Tron live wallpaper that I find to work just as well as a static wallpaper in terms of battery life right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
You are right. Performance depends on many factors, but that is not he case here. Those LWP's work better on Nexus S with ICS :O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea I've seen some LWP get updates that go from laggy to smooth. I don't know what it is but devs know.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sounds good. Wasn't sure if the signing would matter or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TareX:
I read somewhere that for some reason, Hardware Acceleration is not supported for Live Wallpapers.

And yes, my Galaxy Nexus shows a dramatic loss of homescreen framerate when I use most livewallpapers (Except photobeam).

It's quite sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I thought* I had read that all live walls were gpu accelerated, but I cannot find it now. So maybe I dreamed it.

Galaxy4 listed in this thread also does not lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duquette:
Some wallpapers are indeed rough and some are a dream. I'm running a galaxy wallpaper that runs with no lag but some of the default live wallpapers seem to cause lag.

The lag is only in the home screens and how smooth they appear to render when going through each. However, I have noticed no other negative effects from wallpapers that do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoss_n2:
the only devices I tried with no lag on live wallpapers was the samsung galaxy note (also it have higher screen resolution) and my friend's galaxy s2, whatever I put on it is still smooth , I think it depends mainly on how the launcher could handle live wallpapers and from what I have seen (adw ex, go launcher, and touchwizard in the galaxys2/note) are the best in this field
