XBMC on android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well I got excited when I saw XBMC on android a week ago and I know its been out for awhile but it does not load on my Google TV (Sony GSZ-GT1) surprise surprise. Nothing ever loads on this.
My question is though, I see that it works on almost any android that is above 4.0. I was thinking about buying a little cheap android stick from my Chinese friends over at DX but was curious if anyone saw an issue as to why it wouldn't run on a generic device? The device I am looking at is 4.2.2 so it should run without questions right?

[Q] Jellybean for Nook Tablet Coming Soon?

OK so i was going to log into google on a computer to access Play and I saw the ad for the Nexus 7 and I read more about it and learned that it will come with android 4.1 and wanted to see if the Nook Tablet will have that abilty since the hardware specs are relatively close together. What I would like to know is if it will be coming out in CM9 for Nook Tablet or simply in a whole new CM or if it will come out at all? Thanks if you devs can let me know or if you guys will need to get a Nexus 7 first to see if you can and then just keep me updated from there.

The hardware spec aren't actually that close. We may see something, but I wouldn't expect anything yet. Keep in mind the source hasn't been released so no one can really work with it until then. Watch the dev section and maybe you'll see it pop up. Still there is work to be done before ICS is even fully functioning.
The hardware specs are not really that close at all. The Nexus 7 has Tegra 3, as the Nook has OMAP4430. Only thing similar is the IPS screen, which really don't share that many bonds.
Jelly Beans source will be released mid July.
Until then nothing can be done to have it on any platform minus leaked GNex.
And mamifsidtect having the device have nothing to do with developing, for that source code is needed.
Jelly Bean is more that doable on our platform, we just need more developers for faster porting.
Now that we've seen that the Kindle Fire is getting Jelly Bean...does anybody still consider it impossible to port 4.1 to the Nook Tablet? (Kidle Fire's specs are actually quite close if not the same as the NT)
Did you look at the thread right below this one? Or check the Development subforum? At all? Haha it's here!

Q: who is dev progress on Rom, (hats off0

Silverlight

god morning i'm italian...i have a gs2 with 4.0.3 stock with root...is possible install Silverlight on my galaxy?or a browser that support it?i need to see Premium play programs and Rai web programs...thank you...
No, won't work. And it seems development has stopped on Moonlight so you're probably unlikely to see a version capable of running on an Android phone anytime soon (tho it was demonstrated on Android tablets running Honeycomb ~18 mths ago).
Edit - Slight correction: Apparently it was also demoed on the Nexus S. But it seems it only worked on some Honeycomb devices.

[Q] Optimus 2X p990 Few questions

Hello, I'm new here and this is my first thread so if it's not in the right place i apologize...
Firstly, I know nothing about developing and nothing about what a kernel does or anything like this, I just know how to flash things and read tutorials haha
Few questions for my LG p990 - 3 UK
I've looked around and haven't found anything about tethering that helps me, I'm wondering if there's a way of tethering with out being charged for this? I've got completely unlimited internet for my phone but i will get charged if i tether, Is there anyway to bypass this and use my 3G internet on a laptop?
Also about xbmc, I've used xbmc since the original xbox and actually still use my old xbmc xbox on a daily basis but using it for HD films obviously doesn't work, Now xbmc on the optimus is fairly stable but i unerstand that no one's got the tegra2 optimized to work with HD unless it's on the original ROM, Will this change soon or am i going to have to upgrade my phone (Running CM7 and love it and would hate to go back to standard ROM)
And... I've tried other kernels and they just don't work well with CM7 if atall! but i would like to be able to overclock my phone, It's powerful enough but more power is never a bad thing. Is there any very stable released kernels and ROMS that will allow me to overclock and be awesome?!
And the last thing... I read somewhere that S2 korean keyboard is apparently almost as good as the iphones and some mentioned backporting it to work on any android phone? First thing would it be in english? and would it be better than the jellybean keyboard i've got installed at the minute (tried every keyboard on the android market and this one beats them all!)
Thank you, And please go easy on me for being a pain... I'm only 19 and i'm more of a graphic designer and nowhere near a developer.

[Q] Android on Apple TV 2

So I've been scouring the internet and forums and I can't find any good info on this topic. I bought an Apple TV 2 a couple of years ago and jailbroke it. It works fine but I've never been a fan of the Apple OS and everything else I have runs Android. With the proliferation of Android TV sticks I'm wondering if there has been any development done on running Android on the Apple TV 2? I'd like to not have to spend the extra cash on another streaming device.
Thanks.
Nothing?

[Q] Running Android on DevKit8000 ?

Hello.
I've recently begun a school project where we're able to use the DevKit8000, and since it runs Linux, i thought about putting Android on it instead and using self built apps with it.
I've tried to google around a bit, but haven't found confirmation that it can work all that well (found a video with a ICS port that was SUUUUPER laggy), so i'm hoping someone here on this great forum could help me out
Optimally i'd like the highest version of Android that can run semi well, so perhaps 2.1 if i'm lucky? Maybe only 1.6 though..
