[Q] [Request/Questions] Screenrecording - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
firstly i wanted to say that i'm very new to this forum, and also my english is not so good (or how we say here in germany: my english is not the yellow from the egg ^^).
So, whats the Problem?
How you can read in the title i'm searching for something, to record a screen. BUT: yeah, of course there are 1000s of tutorials on the net how to record with quite a good framerate, and why do i create this thread when i know that it's already around in the net? Because that's not what i'm searching for. I do not want to record my android screen, but my pc monitor. And because if you use fraps, the video get's really big and you need much more resources to record in good quality, i thought that maybe the smartphone could record what happens on the pc.
How could it work?
Well the first thing i thought of whas the mini-usb to hdmi cable that lays around here anywhere. So maybe you could simply use the hdmi output of the pc and turn the monitor mode this way, that you have the same picture on both "monitors" and the android phone just records what comes out of the cable (in easy, non professional words)
Otherwise i would think of something with the usb cable, for this there must be something installed on the pc of course.
So the first thing i'd like to know from you is that you think if it's possible and of course how it could works.
phone data:
sgs2 i9100
Jellybam 5.2.0
Dorimanx kernel v7.2.9
rooted of course ;D
greetings and thanks in advance.

so there's noone who has any experiences in this topic?

[Q] Selfmade audiodock - need help!

Hello,
I am thinking about building an audio dock for the Galaxy S2 from scratch.
I only want it to load the Galaxy S2 and be able to play music from the MicroUSB, using an inbuilt speaker.
What I want to know:
-Would this speaker be okay? http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/710674/5-CM-BREITBANDLAUTSPRECHER-FRWS-5SC-8OHM/1312030&ref=list
- How do I have to manipulate the MicroUSB cable to force audio output via MicroUSB? (Because I never did something like that before, I'll need precise information about what to to and which components (resistors) to use for that.) What I mean is, which resistance do I have to change and how?
- Is there any chance to brick/damage the phone when doing something wrong?
I have to mention that I never ever in my life have built something electric more than in school for some years.
I don't know much about electrical stuff and I never would attempt something if there would be higher voltages or danger involved.
But if the only thing that could happen is a non-working speakerand a destroyed cable, then I definitely have to try it...
Don't get me wrong: I dare to do this and to get it working! But if there is the danger of f**king up my phone, I won't.
Nonetheless, I would want to know the details, just out of pure interest!
Building a case and installing all those components, making it look nice etc. won't be a problem for me, but with the wiring I really do need help!
If anyone would be so kind to help me with that, I would be very thankful.
Please also know, that english is not my native language.
Regards, Bonscha

[Q] Android masquarading as iPod

I PROMISE I have Googled and searched and searched and Googled. I absolutely apologize if this is a repeat or obvious question. I hope that there is a simple answer.
To put it plainly, I am wondering if anyone has made some sort of software that would allow an android device to appear as an iPod/iPhone while attached to a media playing device via USB? Specifically, a car head-unit (radio).
My Pioneer has all kinds of wonderful abilities for talking to and controlling an apple iWhatever, but has almost nothing for other devices. And I just wonder if anyone has helped bridge this gap?
I know that when the Palm Pres first came out, the emulated being an Apple device for a while, and I thought I saw a similar software for Android once upon a time. But if it exists and works today, God knows I am not finding it. SOOOO I thought I would ask in this wonderful, singular place of knowledge, before finally giving up.
Again, I apologize if this is a redundant question. Thanks so much in advance. Have a great day!

Lemme guess-you have a AVIC head unit? If so, me too! (X910BT). I actually posed a somewhat similar question asking for information on how to program A2DP so I can spoof the Bluetooth into thinking it were a supported model so we could stream Slacker.....
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help us....
What is the connection method? If its USB you could try mass storage device mode just to access the files themselves assuming the player has some sort of GUI to navigate the directories.
The easiest method if you want to control audio via the phone is to just hook the headphone output into the aux. Apple's proprietary usb connection has audio out and thats how docks are able to use it.
What is the radio model and have you tried Googling for a solution. I can't believe the manufacturer would just leave all other devices in the dark, but I have seen stuff like this before.

Ummm... yes, connecting by USB. And yes I googled first. The pioneer will mount a USB mass storage device, but it is slow and lacks much in the way of functionality, such as sorting and playlists. Again, if the phone "pretended" to be an iSomething, then that would be ideal. I am wondering if such is possible.

I posted the same question a week ago with no answers. Great source of information here.
Anyway I dont think the issue is making the android system "pretend" to be an apple product as blackberries also work fine. I think droid needs a software to make it compatible wit this usb feature.

Help connecting a usb xbox 360 controller to my s3

Hello, i have a usb xbox 360 controller (realy a usb nothing a charge cable) and a OTG cable, I've seen many videos where to connect these control the galaxy s3 is automatically recognized but in my phone with JB 4.2 and stock kernel only frash the lights, not recognized in any way with any buttons ...... Wath I do wrong?
Sorry for my bad ..VERY BAD ENGLISH xD but this I mean:
http://youtu.be/lrZ-xnzYVLA
Hey everyone, I'm having the same problem and unfortunately searching has not provided a definitive answer. Some youtube vids and articles say you can just plug and play, others say you need to root and use the sixaxis app or the usb/bt joystick app.
Like the OP I have an S3 on 4.1.1, but when I plug in the official wired xbox pad, it doesn't appear to be recognised. Youtube vids show grand theft auto 3 working without anything more then using an OTG cable to connect the pad. I downloaded the usb/bt joystick app and it recognises the pad, but pretty sure I would need to root the phone in order for that to work properly (although I did manage to get the analogue sticks working at least).
If anyone knows for definite whether the pad should work without any apps I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
I already made a small research, it was a big dump of crap
For native support, we need first of all, recomiled xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko modules for the latest kernel, but no of the devs took a look at this problem.
As a programmer noob, I wasnt even able to do this, so it is still up to the devs for helping out on this ****.
I also mailed samsung and the told me, they will pass on the actual situation and maybe we will ged support in near future. so take it on and contract samsung, possibly it will bring something
and sorry for my bad english, hadnt any real conversation for more than a half year.

Yeah man you you're right ... just waiting.
Thanks guys, much appreciated! Guess I'll just wait it out then, the people in the vids must have rooted, was kinda hard to tell.
Of course you need root, mate, without root there is nothing possible.
Only with root you can place modules inside your system partition, use init.d and launch modules trough an terminal emulator or just as I said, have a custom kernel with init.d support, so you can setup a script, that will start the modules just at boot of your phone.
but I havent found anyone who could do this, and I dont have any ideas how to code or compile the ****^^
there are also some versions of the module e.g. for ICS kernels, for GB too, and for extremely old based kernels like 2.6.xxxx, but nothing for exynos based 3.0.31 kernel that sucks

Mirror desktop - Which device can do that?

Hello, first of all: Unfortunately I have to work with the Google Translator. Therefore, the translation may not be entirely clean.
I am looking for a smartphone that can be rooted. It must definitely allow the screen to be mirrored, as in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlOzI7eAfvE
Unfortunately, it seems that very few devices can do this, and connected hardware such as a remote control or the touch screen should work at the same time.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro, for example, can do it all. The Huawei P20 Pro can only mirror the display, but the touch screen and remote control do not work.
I connected a USB-C docking station which also charges the phone.
Now the Huawei devices can no longer be rooted. But I need root to automate various settings via Tasker & Co. Also some settings have to be made that are not possible without root.
Question: Which phones are still able to mirror the screen and can use the touch functionality and a remote control?
Thanks and greetings from Hamburg

That's a really interesting concept you have here, I want to try!
But I need more info about what he's doing and how he's doing. First of all what he said in the vid, I'm French and chose to learn spanish instead of German (sorry fella), so I didn't quite understand what he said. I think the video isn't a tutorial but just a demo of how it works. I'd like to know also what kind of cable he used in the video and where he plugged it in? (USB port, HDMI, ...?).
If you have any extra info it'd be great.
(For your question, idk which phone can do that but I'm quite sure that it's an app allows the guy in the vid to do what he does)
I'll come back with more info about that soon
Have a good day

Thanks!
To bad I don't have a Rasperri to do this, I think I'm gonna buy one
Thanks again

Sorry for the late reply. I've actually finished everything so far. I took a Samsung Galaxy S9 for the project. I installed the crDroidAndroid Rom in version 6.7. Unfortunately, the only thing that doesn't seem to work with this ROM is the automatic boot process when the device is loaded. The developers of this ROM obviously cannot help here either. I've been in contact here for a week, but there is no solution to the problem in sight, so I have to start all over again. With other ROMs I can edit the /system/bin/lpm file so that the device starts automatically when it is supplied with power. this crDroidAdndorid ROM has obviously integrated the Charger from the Pixel 4. There doesn't seem to be a solution to this.
You can see the equipment in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN-...Ag.9BgvgSEKrPW9BhxWSpP0Z5&feature=em-comments

S9+ Non Functioning Screen Data Recover

Aloha Everyone!
My S9+ screen has broken yet I can tell it's still functioning as my alarms keep going off etc and when I plug into my PC it registers the phone and should be authorized on this pc.
However since I can't use the screen I can't change the debug settings or put it into "file transfer mode".
I see Dr Fone, Droidkit, Phone Rescue etc. but they all seem suspect and suspiciously all want 35$. I don't mind paying if they work however they all seem to require I put it into debugging which once again I can't do with my broken screen.
Is there any open source solution to this? I would like the pictures on the internal SD of course but I need a recording I made with voice record for a meeting I have tonight. This is my priority and I am currently at work and don't have the time to scour forums and all the regular things I would do.
Any help is appreciated! I don't think this post is breaking any rules and if it is I'm sorry. The S9+ mention is specific but only because I need to explain the generation of the phone as it's older.
I know this is an old phone and I pray someone sees this, infinite mahalos for any suggestions or replies in advance!
You Rock!
Is your screen responsive to touch (Even if you can’t see what you are touching)?
I saw you said broken, do you mean physically? Can you see anything on the screen?
Could you use scrcpy?
It has a few small cracks that water got into and fried the screen I believe.
My alarms going off at the proper times, if I touch the buttons it will vibrate in the ways it should etc.
It doesn't seem to be responding to touch however and it is black as in off, no color or light.
I am looking into scrcpy! Thanks, if anyone has any other suggestions that would be much appreciated!
Spcry won't work because I am not in debug mode, or rather never authorized it while I had it unlike all my previous phones. I got bored of homebrew apps and didn't bother doing it on this one.
Not sure there is anything you can do. No PC programs can control, no Bluetooth mice, no nothing.
Damn, you would think there would be a program at this point to bypass everything and grab your files.
Thanks for your help everyone!
If there was, I would be patched right away, and whoever reported it would get thousands of dollars for the report.
im pretty sure you can use a usb c hub with hdmi and usb to plug in a mouse and your phone to a tv
This is late, but questions do NOT belong in the Development section. Also, this post is for a S9+, not an S9.
Thread moved to S9+ Questions and Answers.
