Actually NFC is not essential to the screen-transfer. It just makes the setup easier. Right now we just have the Nexus-S images, but we are also working on a Galaxy Nexus-port.

As a target we also did play with a Xoom (which worked out-of-the-box, but with a bad latency).

We would love to get some coverage on the portal, but we do not know what would be interesting for you guys. Also we would like to show you the hack on your own devices.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
Write-Up

Hi conantroutman, your comment got us to think about a possible article for the portal. We really would like to show the stuff we did with Android Transporter. Possible content for an article could be:

Changes to the platform that we had to do.

Problems we still have and discussion with the community how to solve them (e.g. a big part of the latency is due to omx in the nexus-s)

Outlook to adaptions to the theme: "standard based transfer of screen content

Currently we are also preparing an audio track for the youtube video, to explain a little more about whats going on.

We really would like to raise the interest in this, so that we could get some chance and perhaps even help to integrate the patch into one of the bigger roms (like cm9).

Perhaps you could help us with the article to streamline it to the needs and interest of the xda-developers community.

hoping to hear from you!

regards

It looks awesome. Did we need root for this? I have 2 HTC One X and I will try this when its released.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
Thanks for your feedback,

currently this is a complete custom rom for Nexus-S based on the original google ICS source. I hope we will be able to integrate the patch into a widely available rom like cyanogenmod. If it's finished no root access should be necessary.

Will this also mirror the Android's launcher/browser/etc. too?

I've been looking all over and found nothing that can do this.

EDIT: After seeing the video, I jizzed my pants. It's like you read my mind and figured out exactly what I wanted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tolis626:
Awesome.I hope to see more of this soon enough guys! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zyxxeil:
So in addition to mirroring displays between devices you can also do air play mirroring like the iPad? If so count me in as a tester I have a cyanogenmod 9 tablet and apple TV 2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jacktownlane:
Awesome!

Ok, first off this is amazing.

Second, I have a Nexus S for Sprint and I am adept at backing up and testing new ROMS so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me you have something I could test. I am absolutely desperate to try this out for a video podcast I work on.

Third, I'm going to cover it in an upcoming episode, so please get in touch with me so I can at least do an interview with you guys.

You can send me a message on here and I'll give you my email address.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ellimistx99:
This. Is. Amazeballs.

Christian,

I, as an owner of a Galaxy Nexus, would love to able to test this out for you guys. If there is ever a port for the GN or need some guinea pig to try out the software and provide feedback consider me your guy!

I have a question for you. When this is released, will it be open sourced? I ask because if you can stream the display, this could similarly be used to transfer large files as well. This functionality does not exist on many wi-fi direct devices.

Again, this. is. kickass.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
yes ... it can mirror everything that the device shows. even when the device uses the hardware-decoder e.g. for playing a movie (as shown in the demo video).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ArmanUV:
Count me in for testing.

I'm simply amazed by the demo video. Very nice NFC touch.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohnM:
You need to have 2 nexus s devices since you need to run a modified system.

Also Christian,

Will this be available this year? And will it connect to computers too?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
As the protocol is rtsp you can also connect it to a computer. the setup is a little less plug and play ... but it works. (the latency with a default player like vlc although is a little higher).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] keb00:
Great job very usefull!!!;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reaper_07:
Great Concept!

Great job guys. You have an amazing concept in the pipeline.

The latency looks really under control & i'm sure you guys will be able to make greater advancements.

Also, i'm a big fan of the "Star Trek" beam sound! :D

Android Transporter for Nexus-S Image

Please check http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter/ again! We have updated the post with links to the Nexus-S image. Right now you need two (2) Nexus-S Phones to play with the android transporter.

!This is still a work in progress! Use at your own risk!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
This is great! Sadly I don't have 2 unlocked nexus s devices but it's nice to see that people who do can try this!

Did you have to make many system wide changes or was it editing and adding a few files to make it work?

By the way, would you mind if this post got publicity? I could get a lot of people to see it from a forum that has thousands of readers and is sorted by up/down "votes." I'm sure this will get a lot of interest and thus up votes to reach the front page and get a good number of people to see it.

(The website is www.reddit.com/r/android)

Of course, I can wait until you have the finished project and then post it or post this and the finished project.

Also do you have a donation page? I've really been wanting this for a while and my only way to repay would be with a donation... I am however broke but my birthday is coming up and I might be able to scrap like $20 to donate.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
Spreading the word on reddit

Hi,

some more publicity would always be great.

Actually we had to adapt some core components of the android platform (e.g. the surfaceflinger, which is used to compose the different surfaces together). The encoding/decoding is almost done with the original code (just minor changes).

It would be really great, if you could post this (or perhaps the esrlabs-post) on reddit, just to see if there is some interest in this. As we want to open-source this project, this would also be a good chance to get in touch with people who have a deep knowledge with OMX on nexus-s or galaxy nexus, as most of our problems seem to be in this context. We are hoping to be able to push out some more updates in the near future, but I think our current release is already interesting for people who want to experiment :)

thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
A lot of these people on Reddit are general Android enthusiants -- not many developers there. XDA is a better place to look for developers. You'd just need to make a new thread asking for someone with a knowledge on that who would like to help you.

Patching into CM9

I was just starting a github project for this very thing when I decided googling may be a good way to proceed first.

Great job. If you're sharing the source, I'd like to look into patching it into an available kernel source. I also have a sneaking suspicion that JellyBean may do this. But that won't help systems tied to earlier versions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
hi, patching the kernel source should not be necessary. right now the android-transporter is just one apk and some patches to the platform (mainly in framesworks/base).

do you work actively at the cm9-project?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spiezas:
transporter

i'm not active in the cm9 source. i originally come from the iOS side, where i've written machine vision and video encoding solutions. i was working on an airplay app pre-airplay, but as you know apple give iOS dev's only the read back alternative that stalls the entire graphics pipe. end of story on that side.

now, for a new project, we're looking to android that exposes the source and hooks for grabbing the composite surface from flinger and encode it for video transmission (through the existing hardware blocks, streamed into rtp or ts files).

normally i wouldn't disclose as much. but the momentum is in the air enough that open source seems to be the best way to go.

Update: Galaxy Nexus vs. Raspberry PI

http://esrlabs.com/android-transport...-raspberry-pi
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ellimistx99:
Wow looks pretty cool.

I noticed you had the Wi-Fi direct part enabled in the video. Would it be possible just to release the part of the source code that allows two devices to connect to each other? Not necessarily the display imaging part?

Because the Nexus phones can't even use WiFi direct between each other properly right now :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Anon87:
Great potential.

Looking fwd with great expectation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
No ... we do not use Wifi Direct in the moment to setup the connection between the devices. We just create an mobile access point with the phone and connect to this.

The Nexus-S devices are as far as I know not Wifi Direct capable, and we only have one Galaxy Nexus, so we cannot test this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] subvertz:
Still excited about this, wondering if the .apk is available for testing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
hi ... we are still working on this. in the moment we are preparing (this will take at least 2-3 weeks) the next release.

it should include a raspberry pi client to show the stuff on the television as well as images for nexus-s and galaxy nexus.

stay tuned and follow www.esrlabs.com or https://twitter.com/esrlabs to stay up to date .. we try to put something new out every few weeks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Do you have plans to make it work on any device in the future?

Or will this project be limited to the Galaxy nexus + Nexus S?

thanks

EDIT: also the office you moved into looks really sweet
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
we want to support as many devices as possible.

but we saw huge differences between the devices that we have here right now (regarding latency and omx-details). so we have to test it on every device / android version combination.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Raudi1:
I can't wait to be able to stream the display and audio from my phone (SGS2 with CM10) to my raspberry pi. But I still have some questions:

1. How does the client integrate with the raspberry pi? I have Raspbmc running on it and wouldn't want to miss XBMC. But as far as I understand, the raspberry pi is only responsible for receiving a h264 stream and bringing it to the big screen :) So a dedicated distro should not be neccessary, I hope?

2. What about the sound? Is it transmitted at all and if yes, what about surround?

3. Since my Pi is connected via ethernet, I hope it will also work in a normal network. The only issue I see is a possible higher latency.

4. In your blog you write you want to make it work with the miracast standard. Is that still valid? The specifications should be published soon, so I understand if you can't really answer the question yet.

5. 2 days ago I dumped Windows 7 and installed Archlinux on my laptop. Will it be possible to stream display and audio from it to the raspberry pi?

Is there a way to install Android Tranporter onto a "toro" (CDMA/LTE) galaxy nexus? ..Perhaps a set of patches that could be applied to it's AOSOP source, and/or documentation as to what you modified to make porting easier?

I don't really have the knowledge or expierience to do so, but was hoping that if it was readily availble someone might pick it up and make it work. (I just ordered a TV that is suppose to support WiFi Display / Intel Wifi Display / Wifi Direct, etc.. should be here 10-15 days, just need a device to use with it. ;)

Image for Galaxy Nexus

Hi ... actually we have an image for the galaxy nexus.

please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transport...-raspberry-pi/ (at the very bottom).

Be aware that you will need a compatible player as the Android Transporter is not miracast compatible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] travisn000:
All I found was an image for the GSM galaxy nexus.. I have the verizon CDMA/LTE galaxy nexus. Am I wrong in thinking that it is incompatable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] christian.koestlin:
Yes, you are right ... those images will most likely not fit onto your device. Do you know how android is built from aosp for toro? The default lunch menu of aosp only includes maguro, and we only have maguro devices in our office.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] msucoleman:
I'm also on the Nexus Verizon toro version and looking at this. I use a Apple TV2 at home with XMBC on it. I would like to control the whole thing from my phone, but what would be nice is to just be able to (airplay) into my ATV2 to listen to music. This looks like it will do just what I want, but I'm still trying to understand how it all works. Also like the person above stated, I only see GSM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] travisn000:
I have compiled some software in linux.. but not android and not recently. I did find binary drivers for toro here:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#toro

..is it possible that all that is needed is to remove the GSM ones from your rom and add these, or does the entire source have to be rebuilt?

Hi,

would like to install it using MultiROM in my Nexus7. It should be fine cause, as far as I know, it shares the same kernel as factory ROM, but when flashing, multiROM says "incomplete ROM" and stops. I suppose this means this isn't a ROM for itself, i.e. it needs a full ROM upon which to be flashed, am I right? FYI, I've flashed the zip "android-transformer.zip" to be found inside the zip you provide with the scripts. more info about MultiROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011403

Hello.

Everyone probably knows the Seidio brand products and know that they are not the cheapest.

In search of a cheaper alternative I started to wonder whether the present on eBay Samsung Galaxy Nexus Black Extended Battery Case Cover Protective TPU will fit with Seidio SURFACE Clip Holster?

Does anyone have the opportunity to see if they fit?

It's hard to judge just based on pictures.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SouthernEvo:
I have ran this combo in the past on my EVO 4G , I also run it my Nexus LTE . It will work but you need to modify the holster slightly for it to fit correctly . With out modification the TPU case will be very snug to the point that putting it in and pulling it out of the holster has some resistance . I usually lightly heat up the lower prongs one at a time with a lighter and lightly bend them outward . With the prongs adjusted the phone in the tpu case will easily go in and come out of the holster . I did this by LIGHTLY heating the base of the prongs it doesnt take alot of heat .
