I'm currently working on a project to extend the capabilities of Android HDMI sticks and Smart TV's, so they can use external sensors (accelerometer as a first trial case). The reasoning behind the project is that the bluetooth keyboards normally delivered with such HDMI Sticks or Smart TV's are really bad, probably because of the interference with your TV itself. Since most of us already have a smartphone or tablet at home, I thought why not lets use their sensors to control your TV.
I've got a first POC working nicely, using the accelerometerplay SDK sample, but all done in the Java part. So now I can use my tablet or smartphone to control the balls in the sample running on a Android HDMI Stick. Basicly what I did was split up the SDK sample in a controller and viewer part, where the controller is using the Android sensor framework to fetch accelero values off my smartphone and tranfer them over Wifi towards the viewer, which will calculate the ball's positions as original.
A disadvantage of this approach is that I had to change the code of the 'original' application that is normally using the accelero sensor, to pick up the sensor data send over wifi. I want to go one step further however and implement a truly remote accelero sensor, which is registered properly in Android's sensor framework. Hence I would be able to increase the (android market) capabilities of my Smart TV or HDMI stick drasticly.
Anyone has good reference documentation on how to implement your own sensor and register it truly in the Dalvik VM. I searched in NDK related documentation, but did not found the golden bullet so far. The following link is really the only thing I could find sofar: hxxp://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Android_Sensor_PortingGuide
Any advice truly appreciated ,

Just delete the bcma folder in module and it will start working.
failed update issues
how do i use keyboard mapping
edit: good release so far, i can remove the nomodset settings and runs cooler for normal usage.
Thanks. It's a huge improvement from last update. Soo much quicker and smoother. Everything works, taskbar is back , all is well.
I don't know about you all, but I don't have any "Game Collection" area in my Remix Central. And yes, I'm on the newest update.
Edit: Also, may we get a list of games that have the keyboard mapping?
Still can't get Remix to boot on my Dell Inspiron 5150.
However, of all the releases so far (hacked and official). this is the only one that has given a clear message. I usually can't boot the nVidea graphics.
intel_powerclamp: Intel powerclamp does not run on family 15 model 2
intel_rapl: driver does not support cpu family 15 model 2
Processor: Mobile Intel Pentium 4 2.80GHz
Family, Model, Stepping: 15, 2, 9 (Pentium 4)
I'm wondering if this is related to the SS3 instruction set, as the only version of Android I could get to run was an early version of Android x86 patched for SS3 running in generic vga mode.

Mediatek 7630E (MT7630E) wifi is still not detected on my Asus TP300LA. Any ideas?
Realtek RTL8723BS Wireless LAN 802.11n SDIO Network Adapter didn't work (there is a driver on it for github) and the Intel SST Sound (Realtek i2s Audio Codec) are also not working
Wow i managed for the first time to make this one work on my old and ancient PC, ASUS P5N-MX with NVIDEA GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i chipset.
I had to edit the "menu.lst" file on the end of kernel line at the Remix Os folder from windows by adding the "nouveau.modeset=0"
Remix Os boots now fine and looks like everything works, internet, sound keyboard mouse etc.
The only problem am facing is the low resolution and i cant change it is like a default one. Any help with this as from the settings within Remix Os the change resolution doesnt show up? Is there any other line i can add or edit to increase the resolution !?
Thnx

That means Video output, not audio. You should be able to use your headphones anyway. There are 2 sound profiles, one for without headphones and one with headphones. If you plug or unplug your headphones and the sound volume changes, just readjust the volume level.
Updated then this error appears: ↓

This message appears:

What can i do to fix this and run remix os normally like before?
Help please :c
My pc specs:
- intel core i5 @3.20 3.19 GHz
- 4GB RAM
- intel hd graphics
Starting this thread to force the issue - I asked here & on Twitter for an answer -
Google Chrome OS has introduced a new flag for USB host, but does it allow the webcam to work from within Android? - I do not own a Chromebook that incorporates Android.
Enable ARC USB host integration
Allow Android apps to use USB host feature on ChromeOS devices. – Chrome OS
#arc-usb-host
even though enabling the flag
chrome://flags/#arc-usb-host
--enable-features=ArcUsbHost
this still does not allow access to a usb webcam from within Android...
Tested it on my hacked Acer C720P using a recovery ROM - no dice...
No one owns a Chromebook supporting Android to answer this simple question - does the webcam work from within Android?
I have slow DSL with buffer issues so I prefer to download shows for offline viewing. I sideloaded the phone/tablet prime video apk and aside from graphical glitches (no rewind/forward/subs controls) downloads are only in SD - even after selecting "Best" download quality which downloads HD on my other android devices.
Is there a workaround? Or another android tv box which Amazon officially supports for HD downloads?
I installed DRM Info and it all checks out. The device is Widevine L1 certified & connected via HDCP 2.2.
It seems Amazon simply does not acknowledge TV boxes! (when it comes to offline viewing)
To answer my own question, Android TV as an OS is not & never will be suitable for any kind of show downloads!
From experimenting with the non-HD download support in sideloaded TV apps, Android TV is very susceptible to data corruption as it lacks a shutdown procedure.
It is designed to be abruptly turned off at the mains along with the TV (for example, it is an integrated into many Sony TVs).
Thus it is nothing more than a streaming OS and offers nothing extra when connected to already smart TVs.
I feel "Android TV" is false advertising. It is far more minimal and less capable than Android phones & tablets with many features, app permissions, settings screens missing. Also it has no notification area at all.
Thus many sideloaded apps are uninstallable or unusable.
They should go back to calling it Google TV to remove the associations & expectations of an Android device!
Hey,
Anyone with a fix using game controllers not working when the game does not support native mode?
The issue has been brought by A11 with some Accessibility issues but should have been fixed in A12 by Google. I still have this issue on 21.12.30. The controller is working just fine in native mode but if the game does not support native, I can not get any luck mapping the buttons.
I tried some stuff to turn off in Accessibility settings as it was advised with A11 but nothing works.
I'm using Gamesir X2 - USB-C / wired.
Anyone with a solution?
So it is not the ROM but Gamesir's own app I was using for the mapping.
Mantis Gamepad Pro Beta - Apps on Google Play
Play Games with ANY Gamepad. No-Ban. Google Play Login. On-Device Activation.
play.google.com
If you got any issue on a11/a12 mapping touch controls while native works just fine, this is the app for you. If wired won't connect, don't worry just follow instructions and do wifi.
Buy the Pro, thank me later.
The app and mapping also works on 22.1.19 Beta
Not working and I find why
There 3 versions of X2 : 2020, 2021 and LT (doesn't know what LT meaning)
2021 is working fine
2020 not
This is the same hardware but 2020 is blinking and 2021 is working fine
But doesn't know how to solve it
