I just got the acceptance letter for RD a couple days ago (proof, I'm also sure a member of the developer committee could confirm this), but it's not set on my profile yet.

What I'd like to try with the box is getting an interface set up on it to use it as a car stereo with a touchscreen mounted in the dashboard. I've set up a similar system with an old netbook I have, but power requirements for the netbook raise some issues, mainly with draining my car battery. A lightweight ARM system could largely mitigate, if not completely solve this issue.

There are also space issues. I would like something that I can mount to the back of an LCD and have in a contained easy-to-remove unit, instead of having to run power and VGA cords through my dash.

I also would like to use it as a system for managing my door locks, with a USB keypad possibly stuck in the back of my truck bed, where I can enter a pin and have it lock/unlock my doors. I would also like to try to use a fingerprint scanner to unlock the doors.

Here's some pictures of what I have now:

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

Picture 4 Don't worry, I've cleaned the wiring since then

Picture 5 XBMC with a modified Xeebo skin. This is the best media player I've found for the job. I was using Winamp at first, but XBMC has cool visualizations and whatnot.

Picture 6 Closer up, I've since filled in that top metal bar with a sharpie

Picture 7 Cleaner wiring, though still a bit messy. Note that my truck is old enough that I don't have a passenger airbag.

Not shown: I've got an acutator in the driver-side door, and a circuit that I built to accept TTL-level voltages and trigger it (essentially two relays making an H bridge, powered by two transistors that get set high by the TTL input. Both relays are ground open and charged closed, so I can set either one high and control the actuator)

Edit: Just to note, I had previously designed this to work with a RPi, but I found it a bit lackluster and not fast enough for what I wanted. Not to mention it inexplicably died one day.

Hello everybody!

First I need to say, that I'm from Hungary, not from US or UK, but I'm really interested in this, so I give it a try. (I can pay for shipping if required.)

Android is my favourite OS, so I would like to make CyanogenMod configuration for this device first. When it's ready I would like to play with linux too and developing ROM's with ubuntu. I have access to the xda build server, so it will be a good pair for the developing.

I wanted to buy an RPi a long time ago, but I didn't have enough money to buy it. If I get one of three CuBox now, i won't betray XDA. All my development for/with this device will be public here.

Thank you for your attention!

PS: Unbrickable? As Adam said it's a challenge. :D

[General Topics] dexter93:
Well, if I had one of these devices I'd work on Linux integration into Android.

So what does this mean:

Most developers have a separate machine for doing particular work on their devices, or even any kind of developing in general aside from their Android devices. With Android devices starting to become more powerful than my laptop (and cheaper than when I bought my laptop), we SHOULD be able to harness Android's underbelly to do more things like developing and compiling directly on them, on the fly, and on the go.

Some people suggest using Ubuntu or some other Linux distro for ARM, but that isn't always the most user friendly thing on a smaller screen. Unlike Android which we already know is pretty user friendly.

Now there are some applications that exist that create development type environments for Android but why not just create a toolchain to compile Linux applications for the Android OS so that they're compatible with the Bionic C library?

So in it's most basic form, I'd be making use of this box to test, create and integrate Linux programs into binaries that Android users can use to their hearts content :D

As for the technicalities, I have a US shipping address, so that won't be a problem.

and @Adam: you can be sure I'll check to see if it's really unbrickable. I have a thing for bricks.. :rolleyes: I'm curious to see how unbrickable their "unbrickable" is. If there's a method, I'll publish it :silly:

Just a quick question: Will this contest be ending at midnight tonight (and if so, what timezone)?
[General Topics] willverduzco:
That's the plan. However, I am tempted to suggest that we extend the contest by another week to allow for a greater number of responses. What are everyone's thoughts on the matter?
[General Topics] netham45:
What more could be done to get more entries? It already had a news article posted.

That being said, I'd find it unfair towards myself and the other entrants if it was extended, since we entered during the timeframe it was initially supposed to last for.
[General Topics] regaw_leinad:
Below are a few (of many) ideas I have had for the CuBox

A small headless server for my command center... err.. I mean house.

central file server, VPN server, webserver

Not sure if there is a stable xbmc distro, and if not, work on that.

Update server for my desktop/mobile applications

More on the development side of things, I'd like to turn it into somewhat of an all-purpose toolkit for Android devices and write a corresponding mobile application using the AOA protocol. I'm thinking somewhat along the lines of Adam's rooting box meets mskip's Samsung/Nexus toolkits. Also, working on bringing CyanogenMOD to it would be another priority.
[General Topics] willverduzco:
You make a good point. The contest will close this evening, as originally planned.

[General Topics] netham45:
So, the contest is over now, right? Know when the winners will be announced?
[General Topics] willverduzco:
Yes. The contest is over. I will announce the winners in the next few days, after Adam and I take a look at the entries together.
[General Topics] h8rift:
I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you, Adam, and CuBox for this contest. Development toys/kits are always appreciated in contest form. We're all here because we love to tinker with things, understand how they work, and give that knowledge back to the community so others benefits from our experience.

Thanks again,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mugsaway:
Is there a way to change the charging current when in USB mode? Is there an app or script I can run to change this?

I have tried the app "Voltage Control" in the store, and looking at the screen shots it shows you can change the charging current. When downloaded on the phone I was not presented that option, even with the paid "Voltage Control Extreme." I also read some forums where this appeared to work with the SGII/III. Is there anything available that would work on this phone?

I want to know what is difrence betwen GB and JB in this case.What JB do with smartphone to get better performance than GB.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr01nE:
Project Butter would be the first difference, also the increase in RAM. I also think JB "unlocked" some features in the CPU and GPU since GB is too old and Ace II has a little more recent HW than when GB was released. More or less, JB has more "under-the-hood" tuning compared to GB. Though I strongly believe that ALL questions belong in the Q & A thread.

From what I have gathered this app is a "Prank" app you use this app to prank your friends who are currently on your house's wifi. It has no practical use but is quite an interesting app, how it works is you download the app, install approx. 400Mb of data for the app. Once this is all finished you see this list of options.View attachment 1730437 You pick what you want to prank your friends with and run it.

Don't know if I am posting this is the right place, but I didn't see a forum for theme questions only. This forum seems to be for posting your completed themes so if it's in the wrong place, please move to the appropriate location. Thanks.

I'm trying to make a theme for MIUI V4 for my Inc2. Everything is going well except I have one small problem I can't solve and it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to change all of the orange to blue and I just about have it all figured out for every .apk except for a problem in the dialer. When you are making an actvie phone call (not dialing, but actually in the call), there a two buttons for 'Keyboard' and 'Tools. When you press either one, a window pops up with the options for the button you pressed. Along the top of this new window is an orange strip that goes the entire width of the window. I cannot find the file that controls the color of that orange strip. I have looked closely at every file in the contacts and phone apks about a dozen times and I am positive I didn't miss an image file that is still orange so i'm thinking it must be somewhere else.

Does anyone know what I am referring to and what the image file name is and\or which .apk it is in? For the record, I have also themed the framework-res and framework-miui-res apks so I don't think there is anything orange left in them either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because figuring this out is driving me crazy. Thanks...

You should try playing the video on one of the following 3 players. Dice player, MX player, and BS player. There are some videos where one would play it better than the other (depending on how the video was encoded). Make sure the video are playing in H/W (hardware mode) not S/W (software mode).

[HTC EVO 3D] Neipas09:
The ROM on my old phone crapped out and i ended up getting a new phone because i had an upgrade.

Well i need info off of it, but can't remember what ROM i had flashed last.

It's a choice of 2-3 different roms.

So i was wondering if there's a way to tell from bootloader or recovery what rom i had on there so i can wipe cache/dalvick and then dirty flash the rom back over it to try to retrieve my data.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Could you be a little more specific about how your old phone "crapped out" and how you intend to use it to recover your data if it's not working? Why do you think a dirty flash is going to work if the current ROM isn't booting?

Assuming you can get into recovery you could flash Aroma File Manager and use it to navigate to the /system directory, then copy build.prop to the SD card so you can view it from a PC and that should tell you what ROM was installed. Since most custom recoveries support ADB you could also use that to pull build.prop to a PC but unless you are familiar with using ADB I think the AFM method is easier.

[HTC One X+] SeaCaptain:
i stuck a piece of clear packing tape on it to hold it down to the lil tray, then trimmed the edges. worked like a charm.
[HTC One X+] ProfLayton:
Like SeaCaptain said, it's possible that it is too loose in the slot. You can try different techniques like taping a small square of paper to the plastic side of the card to make it thicker and push it more against the components, but just be careful that it is attached well. If it falls off while you're moving the SIM tray around it may end up being jammed and difficult to remove.

Just in case anyone cares, I took a piece of duckt tape and sized it to the metal part of the sim card tray. I had to press it down to make it shrink a little and fit in the slot. Seems to do the trick rather well. I haven't had any issues so far, and I don't constantly swap out my sim. I'll post again in a few days to let you guys know if this is a decent permanent solution. I think it's a lot easier than sticking a piece of paper in there.
[HTC One X+] 1500cc:
I took mine back for warranty service for this, all they did was re-flash. Seems a little better, but still happens a couple of times a week.

Are we sure it's a hardware issue? Why would HTC reflash if it's the card not seated properly? Also, I find just going into airplane mode and back out again fixes it ... if it was a matter of the card not seated properly, I wouldn't think that would fix it.

I'm sorta hoping we eventually get 4.2, and that it fixes it for good.
