[Nook Color Themes and Apps] go0nie:
1) Go to here to download AndroStream

2) Download and install the AndroVLC media server on the PC that hosts the .avi files

3) Ensure firewall is set up to allow AndroVLC or disable Windows Firewall

4) Reboot PC (starts up the media server)

5) Download AndroStream-Free from the Android market

6) Use Astro to back-up the AndroStream .apk (I would post the .apk but can't yet on these forums, some one else may be able to post it)

6) Install AndroStream app on your NC. There is a free version to use to get everything working and try out (limited to 2 minutes of playback). The paid version will let you watch entire movies.

6) Run AndroStream on your NC

7) Input the IP address of the host computer in the AndroStream settings

8) Hit the scan button to find the PC. Navigate to your folder with .avi files

7) Watch your streamed .avi files over your wifi at home on your personal 7" viewer :)

These are the only notes/issues I had:

I did this on an Windows XP machine

It also played .mp4 files fine, but would not play .wmv or .mkv files

Some audio lag, but could be due to the fact I was skipping around the movie to see how well it buffered.

I only tried with Standard Def Xvid .avi files, I did not try any HD

The AndroStream app on the Nook was very simple and quite fast to navigate to your media files on the PC

The movies go full screen and I wasn't able to get out of them easily. I have SoftKeys installed and hitting the nook button took me back to the home screen while using the AndroStream software, so I could not get back to select a different file to watch.

I am looking for other possibly better alternatives to this (different apps on the Nook or solving some of the above issues), because I like the idea of streaming video to my device over wi-fi. Hopefully other folks can provide some input or other apps or methods.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Baka no Kami:
I've been using VLC Stream & Convert. All it needs on the server is VLC running with a web interface.

It converts the video before streaming, so you should be able to play more than mp4 files with it, but I can specifically remember if I've tried an mkv or wmv. The movies only went full screen in landscape mode, if you switched back to portrait the menu comes back for you to pick another file.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] go0nie:
Can you put down exactly what you are doing? I tried using VLC and VLC Stream & Convert, but it isn't working. I am controlling VLC on the PC, but only audio is coming through to the NC. Not sure exactly how to set it up to work. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] azzytee:
Thanks for this. I couldn't find the app the OP mentioned, but VLC Stream & Convert seems to do the trick.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] endersdestiny:
VLC Stream and Convert

How were you able to get VLC S&C to work? Whenever I try to play on my NC I get an error: "Cannot create play command". I've tried .mkv, .avi, .mp3 and none seem to work. I'm only using a rooted NC, not a Froyo'ed version. Any suggestions would be greatful!

Edit:

I was able to get it working. Had to change the play mode. Sorry for posting the noobish question!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] succulent:
If you are still on stock, eclair, you can stream anything with this method,

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/streaming-epub-books-media-to-nook-color-with-cifsmanager/

BTW, you can do read/write from your NC to your computer if you change the permission settings.

No cifs module for Froyo and CM7 yet :(.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ewong90:
Ok so i got vlc to work playing avi files, only problem is that I keep getting small videos. What settings do you have?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ewong90:
ok nvm I got the sizing to work
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bobzdar:
I tried wmv and it works. What res are you guys running, the max 480 width in the free version? Has anybody bought the pro version and tried 640 width to see how it works? It would be cool if we could get the max 854 width that the NC supports for higher def files. I can stream 480 at max bit rate and only get a hiccup every few minutes, so I'm thinking higher res will be possible if you play with the bitrate some.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ewong90:
I was able to get full screen working on the free version, the trick is to override your video settings with the General Settings.

Go to Playback under General, then change landscape video width to fit screen. Make sure this is the last setting you change before playing the video.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pramalin:
You can use PS3 Meadia Server --> UPnPlay

You may want to try PS3 Media Server and UPnPlay in NC. It is running well in Customized Nook Froyo.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Hubmanx:
I have been using File Expert in combination with RockPlayer lite . File expert has a network tab which allows me to see all my files on my nas server. Which streams directly to my N/C using Rockplayer lite . Streams avi files directly no need to convert . Thanks Jamus0 for this tip .:D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ottoman1384:
Can you please tell me how you set it up? Thanks.

"Serviio" is an alternative to PS3MediaServer that I use. I couldn't connect to the PS3MS, but Serviio works just fine
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bobzdar:
I've got that set, but it's still stretching a 480 pixel wide video across the screen (which is fine, it works and looks pretty good). I was just wondering if anyone had gotten the pro version and tried 640 wide video, or if it lets you actually do 854 wide video to get the max res the NC supports in hardware.

[XPERIA X10 General] johndub71:
So, like me, who's bought one?

Initially you need the LiveView app from the market, and pairing is a faff, but it seems to do what it says.

The negatives are music player doesnt choose power amp, and 45 mins in and setting up facebook/twitter feeds, no updates. You would have thought at set up the feeds with update.

Any thought on making power amp the default player?

there's a thread in the accessories forum.

i've had mine since Saturday and have been playing with it since. the connection cuts out as what others have already mentioned in the other thread. it's really annoying and sometimes when it reconnects, the unit fails. the software still needs some touching up and i hope it's something that can be fixed through an update instead of something related to the unit itself.

otherwise, i like it a lot. i wish there was an e-mail plugin for it and not just text messages.

USING ADB

There's a comprehensive guide to using adb, including all its commands, at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

Here are a few example commands :

C:> adb push hello.txt /data/local/tmp

The above copies the file hello.text from the current directory of your PC (i.e. the directory shown in the command prompt) into the /data/local/tmp directory on your phone.

C:\> adb pull /sdcard/error.log error.log

The above copies the file /sdcard/error.log onto your PC.

C:\> adb install Superuser.apk

The above installs the app in the Superuser.apk file in the current directory of your PC, onto your phone.

C:\> adb shell

The above starts a command prompt session on your phone. So when you see the $ prompt, that's your phone and commands you type there will be executed on your phone.

C:\> adb shell ls

The above runs the command "ls" on your phone and displays the results. So it's a way of issuing one command at a time, without starting your own shell session. You can subsitute other shell commands for the "ls".

C:\> adb reboot

The above reboots the phone.

C:\> adb reboot bootloader

The above reboots the phone into the bootloader (hboot).

C:\> adb reboot recovery

The above reboots the phone into recovery.

Also update it for Mac / Linux users.

Mainly different adb files (I had adb and fastboot for Win/Mac/Lin uploaded somewhere, if you want?) and they go in /system/bin instead of PATH.

Otherwise, good idea + well done.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Thanks. I need someone to help me come up with the different steps for Mac/Linux users please ? Then I can add those in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
I'll do that.

I'll also hunt down my Mediafire adb and fastboot files, because not everyone wants the whole SDK :p

I don't know if you need any drivers for the phone (like HTC Sync for Windows). Someone else will need to tell you, or you can wait till Christmas.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
INSTALLING ADB

Step 0

Drivers perhaps? XD

Step 1

Download these files;

Mac - http://www.mediafire.com/?z8myxs9941kz3gg

Linux - http://www.mediafire.com/?m62rt943mroxm4s

Or you can download and install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) Starter package from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

You can read all about how to install the SDK at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html . Ignore all the stuff about Eclipse though, you don't need that unless you're going to start writing Android apps.

Now, from version 8 (Android 2.3) of the SDK onwards, adb has been taken out of this starter package. If you downloaded version 7 (Android 2.2), then you've already got adb and you can skip Step 3 and go straight to Step 4 below. Otherwise you need to proceed to Step 3 to add adb to the SDK.

Step 2

Extract the files and rename "adb-linux" ("adb-mac") to "adb" and "fastboot-linux" ("fastboot-mac") to "fastboot"

You could call it anything you like, like "cheese" and "bread", but that makes things difficult.

Step 3

Mac - Copy the files to the folder /bin

You will need to unhide the folder. Google it.

Linux - Copy the files to /system/bin *OR* /bin

I have not used Linux for ages so my folders are rotting away. I believe you will need root access to do this, I used Kongregate (I think) as an app to control my root copying needs.

Step 4

On your phone, go into Menu->Settings->Applications->Development and make sure you have the entry "USB Debugging" ticked. adb will not work without this.

Step 5

Plug your phone into your PC using the original HTC cable. This is important, do not use a third-party cable since it might not work with adb (even though it might seem fine with other communication with your phone). Or whatever.

Step 6

Open a Terminal window. On your PC/Mac. To emphasise, you are running this on your PC, not directly from your phone (e.g. terminal emulator) :

The part were it says "Dan-Wilsons-MacBook:~ danwilson$" will probably not be on your PC/Mac, unless you are called Dan Wilson, and have a MacBook.

Dan-Wilsons-MacBook:~ danwilson$ adb devices

This should display something like the following :

List of devices attached
XXX12345 device

... where the "XXX12345" bit is actually your phone's serial number. If the list is blank and the phone is plugged in ok, go back to Step 6 and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. If you can see your phone, YOU WIN A CHEESECAKE!

If you decided to be awkward and call "adb-linux" ("adb-mac") "cheese", replace the word "adb" in command lists (like the above) to "cheese". It looks cool but complicates things.

Example;

Dan-Wilsons-MacBook:~ danwilson$ cheese devices

-------------

I think this looks OK. Some bits are weird and I don't know about drivers, but still, better than nothing. It is rough, but I've not done it in ages. Sorry bout that.

Here is the adb and fastboot files for Windows. Check they work with the Z before throwing them in the first post. If you do.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I've updated this guide to flesh it out a bit more (still more to be done though).

Significantly, please note that in the latest version of the SDK (i.e the one for Android 2.3), they have taken adb *out* of the Starter version of the SDK. So now there's an additional step, which is downloading the "Platform Tools" component of the SDK. It's all in the guide though.

@steviewevie:

My 2 cents for your great work:

I have tested and uploaded a Mini ADB package and the ADB USB drivers for Windows Vista / Windows 7, to the Resources Centre, easy tutorial + FAQs thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835777

I thought this would make things easier for newbies or people who don't want to download the whole SDK / Sync software

Also, setting the path is not required, since the "Runme" file is located inside the same folder within the ADB files

This could save some steps for newbies

a small question. When it prompts on the phone to select a mode, which mode should we select? Charge or disk drive? I put it in 'Charge' and the phone serial number came out nice after input 'adb devices', but wasn't sure if I'm doing right.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Best to put it in "charge only" because if you put it into "disk drive" mode, you won't be able to push anything to the SD card if you try (because that will be mounted on the PC, not the phone).

It shouldn't really matter in terms of being to see the phone though.

ADB device not found

Hi guys,

Been doing lots of reading since my attempt to permroot my G2 last night using Visionary failed and the phone is stuck on the HTC logo screen when booting up. Still S-ON and I can get into the stock recovery ok. Tried to recover using the stock ROM but since it doesn't contain the OTA updates, it won't let me overwrite/downgrade it. So seems like my best bet is to get ADB working and then follow the procedure on that thread about dealing with semi-bricked G2. I'm comfortable with UNIX and the instruction seems to make sense but I haven't got ADB to recognize my phone yet. I have full Android SDK installed and have tried both HTC sync and ADB_HTC_Drivers_Win.zip I found on this site. In my Device Manager, (Win 7 64-bit) I do see the phone as My HTC under Android USB Devices but "adb devices" returns nothing. Now at this point, my phone is in recovery screen connected through USB, and "fastboot devices" returns the serial number for the phone. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ADB to see my G2 and have installed/reinstalled/manually updated the drive quite few times to no avail. Any idea on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance. You guys are pretty awesome.

Steve
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steve_ding:
A little bit more info here:

When I'm on the main hboot menu, "adb devices" returns nothing and "fastboot devices" returns my G2 correctly. When I'm in stock recovery, looking at that triangle with exclaimation point, "adb devices" returns my G2's serial number but says it's offline. I have tried couple of computers with Windows 7 and XP, couple of USB cables with different ports and got the same results every time.

Any ideas? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eneka:
I'm having some trouble connecting my G2 to my computer. I noticed that HTCSync doesn't seem to support the G2 as it can't detect the phone, and when I plug the usb in, it just asks me if I want to mount my mem card to the computer. USB Debugging is also on. When I try to execute the ADB commands, it just tells me device not found.

I'm running Win 7 64bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I don't think you can get into adb when the phone is in hboot, you can use fastboot for that. Probably the same for stock recovery, though I'm not sure.

In stock recovery (the exclamation mark), can you press volume Up and Power and get into the actual stock recovery screen ? If so, you may be able to do a factory reset.

Or if you can get into fastboot then you have the possibility of flashing the ROM image again.

However, probably best to post this in another thread, or start one in the Q&A section.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I've walked another member through getting it working on Win 7 64-bit, so it can and does work, though obviously right now something is wrong for you. Are you using the stock HTC USB cable ? Because you may find some third-party ones just don't work with adb (even though they might let you mount the SD card etc).

Go into Menu->Settings->Connect to PC and see if the option is ticked to ask you every time you connect to the computer, for what sort of connection you want. Try connecting in charge-only mode when using adb.

Did HTC Sync all seem to install ok ? Because it has all the drivers that you will need.
