I didn't notice a thread for Odroid on xda, so I'm gonna start one
I just got an odroid friday for $200 USD http://www.hardkernel.com/
I've played around with it a bit, it's running a "stable" 1.5 and as of 22feb2010 you can flash a alpha enclair 2.1 pre-release I feel 2.1 is fairly stable on Odroid but that's just my opinion
How to get Google apps on Odroid with AOSP 2.1
------------------------------------
Download GoogleBits-sdk7-v1.7-signed.zip (RapidShare, Megaupload, DepositFile, HotFile)
Unzip it in c:\sdk-android\tools\GoogleBits\
Connect USB to your PC
Type the following commands:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools\
adb remount
adb push GoogleBits\system\framework /system/framework
adb push GoogleBits\system\lib /system/lib
adb push GoogleBits\system\app /system/app
adb reboot
Google bits 1.9 located here *untested*
also feel free to discuss development for odroid here as well.
Haha, the best replecement for Gameboy i have ever seen just insall gemeboid emulator there and you have the softwere, for hardware i already see there are gaming butons everywhere But is that screen rly 3.5? Look so small...
yea it's 3.5 inch, capacitve glass touch screen... it's a pretty decent little handheld. It's not up with the best as far as portable game consoles, but it's by far the best solution for android gaming in a portable. Plays snesoid really decently for snes emulation.
open hardware and unbrickable, community driven development... I think it's pretty cool investment... at least for me it was.
I've bad my xu3 for a while now.. looking to compile latest debian kernel. however, i'm having trouble determining whether I could put arm64 on it. Initially i thought so, but i think there is only 32bit support on the .little side of the cpu.
thoughts?
I have oDroid Xu4 and it's pretty good, I did manage to get Nougat running on it, and as of now im installing apps
I got a C2 and I must say this is the first SBC that I am totally satisfied with in my livingroom as an all round media box.
It is running 6.0.1 and just simply works for everything I have tried.
Kodi
Terrarium
BBC iPlayer
CBC TV App
Netflix
Surfing the net / Facebook
Music via PowerAmp
A number of games (pool 3d with an air mouse is great fun)
Nothing slows it down... simply love it.
The kicker is it costs less then $100
I have also a C2 for a few weeks now also on Android 6.01.
Have running Kodi only for my Kid so i don't have to encode any movies anymore as my Philips Smart tv (2010) is a drag when it comes to media support. If a tiny thing in the movie is not correct then it don't play. So this C2 is great. It's faster then Raspberry 3. But support is not great on the Hardkernel forum. Bought it in Germany for 49,- Euro plus shipping and a plastic box, totall 64,- euro to the Netherlands. I love it and works stable. It's a 64bit processor, but there is no 64bit OS.....but now fast enough on 32bit. But i paid for 64bit so i want it to run on 64bit too . But for support sakes next time i think i go for Raspberry. The community is much bigger, so more solutions.
Run Debian and Android on ODROID-C1/ODROID-C2
Hi,
My company makes a unified OS (VOLKSPC OS) that can run both Android and Debian applications.
We have ported it to several ARM SOC's and single board computers. Youtube has a video clip of our VOLKSPC OS running on the ODROID-C2 board.
You can download a free version for ODROID-C1 from volkspc.org Demo page.

@OldGaf or @JJSJJS you guys have android running on your C2s right? have you tried installing Android Auto on them? if not is there any way I could compel you to give it a shot and let me know if it can be installed?
I want to get one and use to run android auto on my car, but I've tried a couple other sbcs like the rpi and I can't seem to install it on them; if you're willing to try, getting the apk is easy from apkmirror.
Thanks.
Hi, well there is an option in the Odroid menu to install manually APK's. But i'm not going to do it, because it's running just fine now and it is for my daughter just to run Kodi so she can watch animations as my Philips TV does not decode everything correctly. But i recommend not to buy it and stick with Rpi, not because it's better, it's because of the service and the much much bigger community. So if you did not buy it yet, then don't. Just because of the lack of support and tiny community. A colleague of mine uses a android-tablet also with some sort of auto apk on which reads out info via an cheap 6$ china OBCD2 plug interface, seems to be working well. Much easier also.

That's alright JJS, don't mess with something that works, I have the rpi and it works well enough, but well enough is not what I want, a tablet wouldn't do either, because I don't want to modify my dashboard to fit one, i already have a screen mounted for an sbc tho. thanks for the reply.

VolksPC,
Can you post a link to your videos for support? I'm looking to install Android 6.0+ or Android TV on my C1.

@OldGaf, are you running Android or Android TV on your C2?
Hi,
The "ASUS Eee Pad Transformer" looks like a good tablet for me.
It's a netbook and a tablet in one computer.
But I don't like Android as a desktop OS, so I wonder if it was possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 or another Linux dist on the device with a functional touch screen?
The device has USB, right? So it must be possible to boot a Linux dist compiled for the architecture from a USB key?
It would be so nice!
In concept yes. Will it be a usable implementation? Probably not.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing to dual boot into Linux Mint.
My guess is that it would be theoretically possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 "Netbook" addition as it is aimed at ARM architecture. Tegra 2 apparently supports Ubuntu which should make this easier. The screen also has the perfect resolution to run Ubuntu as well.
11.04 is released Tomorrow right?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
They may only have preinstall images for TI chips. I've looked into the betas, and they have a compress partition that has to be uncompressed on the first boot. But the boot is in a fat32 partition with a kernel for the TI arm chip and uboot.
It should be possible.
Some work was done on getting Ubuntu up and running on a Toshiba AC100, which is a Tegra-2 based "smartbook" running Android (see here for details).
However, IMO a version of NVFlash that works on the Transformer will be required before this can be taken much further.
Regards,
Dave

It's not a desktop OS. With the keyboard dock, it's still just a netbook. Netbooks aren't really supposed to be as 'functional' as desktops. If you want desktop functionality, get a desktop or a large laptop.
Netbooks and now tablets are what I refer to as 'compromise' devices. You compromise power and function for portability and convenience. If you need more than a tablet or netbook can provide, you need to be shopping bigger.

I know that netbooks ain't made for hardcore tasks like gaming, photo- or video editing, but I find Android (have only tried 2.x) too limited for netbook use.
On my current netbook I like a full Linux desktop, so I browse the web, check mails, use LibreOffice, use VLC and other light activities and I really can't way I shouldn't be allowed to get the real PC experience on a netbook if the hardware specs allows it? Especially when new user interfaces like Unity that is perfect for tablets and small screens have been released.
I've spotted this new device. I Think that the ARM-version of Ubuntu used on this device will be public avaible and I hope that it's possible to install it on the Asus Eee Transformer.

//edit, getting an arm version of debian/ubuntu aint the issue. The issue is graphics. Now as I've posted earlier on this forum, nvidia has released linux4tegra. Although unsupported, it has a tegra_drv for xorg.
Can someone explain to me why peeps keep wanting to install Ubuntu onto their phones/tablets? I mean isn't it more usable to just install it on a netbook? I understand for some people its just the fun in the challenge of cramming it in to another device but is there any other use for Ubuntu on a tablet like the TF?

If I can start up an app that connects to localhost and gives me access to everything from advanced networking/software development tools/image editing and conversion tools/movie editing/diagnostics/etc/etc/etc/etc. Why wouldn't I want to? I can have a device which instead of being locked to android apps also has a MASSIVE library of tools that's been developed over many many years.
And they are not designed for touchscreen, but guess what, this tablet has a keyboard and a touchpad

I for one don't have and don't want a netbook or laptop. I prefer using one device (a tablet in this case with a keyboard or keyboard dock) for many purposes. It's cheaper for me and I have much less things to carry / charge / store etc.

Eclipse is an IDE made by ibm, development started 2001, and it's still being developed today.
I dont think you realize what your saying when you say "just develop an IDE".

Not even! Check out the Samsung X120 ( I have one ) and the Acer Ferrari One 200 ( I have one of these too! )
Dual core+ netbooks have NO problems running full desktop applications at the same time as multi-tab browsing...
Running Microsoft Server 2008 or Windows 7.
I've run Adobe Premier rendering video at the same time as Office 2010 along with Chrome running 20 tabs and 3DS MAX 2011 open no lag..
The X120 has a 5 hour+ battery life too, the newer i3 and i5 and even i7 based Netbooks are no compromise on desktop performance.
I even have a HDMI out and VGA out on the X120...
Anyways, the sooner we get / make Android 3.0+ based tablets dual boot Ubuntu 11 the better... Then tablets can finally act as both development work horses and Android tabs...

In a nut shell, imagine the portability of a tablet with the power of all the items with Ubuntu..years of apps and developement along with the ability to sit on "the THRONE" if you know what I mean.... the tablet is evolutionary for the fact it is just another device, I do not know if you use Ubuntu, if you do then a question is not why but when and how. Also, you have a option when / if / Ubuntu does come to the transformer, don't use it. Great development does not happen by asking why it should, great development comes by asking why the hell not. Just my 2 cents worth.'

I was wondering if any of the developers here have been following the Windows 8 stuff? I just read and article that they are going to release the first build of it this week at the big Microsoft thingy thats going on. They are releasing the build to developers, AND to the public!
Now, since Win 8 will be ARM supported, I'm wondering if were going to be able to put it on our A500's. I had originally wanted to buy a W500, but when your buying off craigslist you get what you find, and i love my A500 plenty fine, but i've always liked playing with the new Windows versions coming out, and the OS is pretty much designed for touch and tablet.
I know i'll be keeping my eyes open one way or another and hitting download as soon as i see they open a beta build up for us.
I don't think our A500's will be supported by MS, but since there aren't any quad-core tablets out there yet (production-wise, that I know of), MS will probably be using the tegra 2, which means it should be at least compatible.
So, it should hopefully run, but I think it's going to require a bit of hacking.
I really doubt that it will run on our a500's for one reason, hard drive space! Look up windows 8 demo on you tube and you will see that it is very similar to windows 7, just with a tablet friendly ui. You can still access good old windows with the touch of a button. I do have to admit that its looks pretty slick.
If you read into things, windows 8 is supposed to be -very- small operating wise, it's designed to gear towards tablet interfaces, it is able to run off of a flash drive.
I think our Acer Iconia will be one of the better suitors of Windows 8 thanks to its USB port. I would love to have Windows 8 ported on my Acer, especially if they are giving the build to the public.

Windows 7 only takes like 10GB fresh, with a good compression, or just a 32GB SD card for more space, it'd run just fine. Space isn't an issue.
They are, the BUILD conference is at 9am today, and they are supposed to release it to public and developers at it today.
I'll still love to see it runs on a quad core thing, with the ability to turn down part of the processor or dramatically turn down the clock when running on battery to save power.
I used this A500 long enough to realize that Android is just a toy. To be serious, it has a long way to go. It is so convenient to use for before nap browsing, that I don't turn on my laptop at night after all, but if you tell me I only have this for the week, I'll just say no. Better to bring both with me. Windows 7 is essential for me.

From a day-to-day use stand point, this just isn't true. However, if you need a power house, then I agree with you. But getting this tablet was one of the reasons for getting rid of my netbook. Outside of heavy gaming, which I don't do anyways, I do not see anything I can do on the netbook that I couldn't do on the tablet for everyday functions (except print, but I almost never do that either lol)
I got rid of my laptop (Was going out anyway) And got the a500 instead of another laptop. So far im pleased, i wished Skype would get working, i'd use it a lot more. I have a pretty nice powerhouse for a desktop so for anything that i need to do with some real power, gaming and such, i can sit at it for without a problem.
Id love to get a microsoft arc keyboard or something, small enough to use on my iconia, cause right now, since i have a laptop stand still, i use a old apple keyboard via the USB, its easier for typing more after all.
I'd like to see windows 8 on it, simply to see what i could do with it, i like toying with it, my A500 is my toy, rather than a significant use item, i can do what i need on it, so it serves its purpose, but it was still more a toy then anything else when i got it.

The one thing missing for me is the ability to develop android applications on the iconia. It's funny that you need another OS to code for Android.

Well unfortunately the builds thate came out were only on desktop uses, not for the ARM processor, guess was cross our fingers and wait.
Just like WP7 is limited to certain chipsets, I believe the ARM version might only be limited to Tegra 3 and some other faster processors.
I read somewhere from ms that win8 arm will run on many chips.as well as tegra. But not sure where this article went.I do know it was direct from Microsoft.

Regardless of OS, if your day-to-day function is coding/dev work, I would imagine you wouldn't be doing it from a tablet anyways Thats like a mechanic trying to run a full garage with a 25 piece "mechanics" tool set from Walmart lol. I am a project manager and I couldn't imagine not having a full laptop to do what I need it to do. I do also have a PC at home, hooked to my TV. But if I was not running an IIS server or if I didn't do web design work, I would probably not have anything else at home but a tablet.

That's not our tablet. That's the Acer Iconia Tab W500 not the A500. The A500 runs NVIDIA Tegra 2.
In any case, i'm still really hopeful for getting Win 8 onto the A500. With the ARM support, there has to be a way that this can be done eventually. I was actually starting to think that I might have to sell my Iconia and get a new tablet in March when its released. But now only time will tell. But just the possibility of running Windows here is awesome. =D

No schiznit really?!
Here I thought my tablet had an Atom processor in it!
Well here is a small update. It does not help us Iconia A500 people, but it does help people with other tablets! And puts out hope that if Microsoft delivers a preview for the ARM version of the OS we may be able to test it out some.
Here is the link to the article showing how to install the developer preview of Win 8 on a Win 7 running tablet.

Hi, I have been waiting and waiting for an Android device to incorporate WACOM but the only one so far is the lenovo thinkpad....so I was wondering a few things:
1) If you have one...is the pen pressure and all that very very good like it is on other wacom devices??
2) Although I have been considering this device, I am still stuck with wanting Windows or some other operating system that will let me draw and edit on programs such as GIMP or Photoshop etc.....so ...my next question is: If I get a windows based tablet with WACOM capabilities, would it be possible to have a full functioning Android OS installed that will be able to use the multi-touch capabilities as well as the WACOM pen input?? If so, what is the quality when using the Android OS? Does it work flawlessly? Can you have other features such as forward and rear camera functionality...etc??
3) Pretty much here is what I want and you tell me if you know it exists or if you think it can be done by installing certain things.
* Some major OS..(windows, mac, linux, etc) that can use full-fledged programs for graphic art..etc...
* Has multi-touch as well as Wacom capabilities
* Has cameras
* Will have Android OS as well as above OS and Android will work just like it does on the phones and tablets.
Pretty much I want android and only OS for major applications that can't be done on android......
Maybe I'm dreaming (along with everyone else) but I thought I might stop in and ask the Pros ....
Thanks
My nephew who is an exceptional artist and draws amazing portraits and abstract images using sketch book on his sprint HTC Android phone (not blowing smoke he uses his fingers to perform all the intricate details) went nuts when I showed him my TPT. He said it felt great and he would not let it go through the holiday visit. He gave it two thumbs up. Coming from him says a lot. I am sure it won't compare to WACOM hardware but he drew a nice abstract piece on my tablet using sketch book pro. My jaw dropped I could not believe he did this using my TPT.

Cellphones/Android tablets have ARM based processors.
Laptops/Desktops have x86/x64 based processors.
Android is an ARM based OS.
Windows is x86 or x64 based OS.
Windows 8 will have both ARM and x86/64 based iterations.
At the current point there is no way to run windows and android on the same device unless you use an emulator like bluestack(which prolly won't run many android apps). Windows 8 will be able to run on ARM devices (if you can unlock the bootloader and find the right drivers) but in the meantime your best bet will be either remote desktop (which allows you to remotely access your x86/64 machine) or ubuntu (which has been recompiled for ARM... if you can find the drivers).
Honestly, the art programs for android are amazing. You may not need windows as badly as you think.
Sketchbook Pro
Photoshop Mobile
Doodleroid
Sketch n Draw
yea thanks...i actually have sketchbook pro and I really like it but as far as photo editing...what is equivalent to photoshop or gimp (i use gimp bc photoshop is too expensive for me since its only a hobby)....
also what would be the best android device for pressure sensitivity and as close to wacom as possible?
I came upon somehting that I think beats ntrig possibly.... called the IPEN....currently it doesn't support pressure sensitivity but the IPEN 2 will....then they have a PENBOOK but I don't know about getting another windows device...i really like android but would be willing to get an IPAD if I could get the IPEN2 because its only supported on Ipads (apple stuff) or the PENBOOk......look up the vids for it...its pretty darn cool....
see i'm desperate to find what I want here w/i the next month bc its tax season ....and any other time I can't warrant spending that much money

Samsung will release the next Galaxy Tab with the S-Pen, which is made by Wacom.
Just wait a few more weeks. It will definitely be worth it! The IPEN solution looks OK, but will only work with the included software and you can't get around the stupid limitations of iOS (for example no way to export files other than mailing them to yourself).
The N-Trig pen actually works quite well, but has its quirks (like all N-Trig products).
I'm very confident that the Samsung + Wacom combination will be by far the best solution.

Samsung will release the next Galaxy Tab with the S-Pen, which is made by Wacom.
Just wait a few more weeks. It will definitely be worth it! The IPEN solution looks OK, but will only work with the included software and you can't get around the stupid limitations of iOS (for example no way to export files other than mailing them to yourself).
The N-Trig pen actually works quite well, but has its quirks (like all N-Trig products).

When does the Samsung with s pen come out? I haven't seen that anywhere...o heard that they wanted to use out for future releases but didn't see any plans...can you send me a link please?
I called samsung but they didn't know about it
It's not official, but confirmed by a Samsung executive. No release dates, but MWC is a good guess. Maybe a bit later. Either way, I think it's worth the wait, because it's MUCH better than N-Trig or iPen.
"I think a pen interface continues to make a lot of sense across a number of screen sizes, like the larger is more obvious of those. That’s about as specific as I can be without announcing a product."

thanks so much!
Has anyone had a chance to try out these new Android Micro/Mini computers yet?
First impressions?
Would you use as your main media centre now XBMC is Android compatible?
They are the size of a USB stick usually with integrated wifi, USB port and HDMI port as well as a micro SD expansion slot. Looks cool.

It looks nice but a x86 one would be better. I suggest you wait a little. Also I think this should be in android general

Answer to the ques
Yh I know what you're taking about , the USB drives are trending nowadays but I hardly can figure out a reason for them with 1.0 Ghz and 512 ddr2 ram which I believe is the maximum specifacion those USB form factor can go. They’re limited to arm instruction set , which means arm software and not x86
so nothing will work instead of android , however I have heard of Ubuntu ARM port.But I believe installing Ubuntu or any other Linux on that USB will be hard to implement
and I think after you install ubuntu you can customize it to make it more like XBMC
They come in much better flavours than those posted above. I like this one:

It is basically the Galaxy S3 board with extra peripherals, more than enough for a decent low-powered htpc imo. Runs ubuntu pretty well considering there are no open source Mali drivers.......yet
awesome

That's awesome, might have to pick one up. Especially with XBMC and VLC for android this would make an incredible media solution.

I think it looks awesome even compared with the $25 Raspberry Pi's out there. I'd like to get one, but then again I can use my GS2 for just about everything I need and it'll have more power. It'd be good to have one of these little guys in case I went to someone's house for a weekend or on vacation and needed a basic PC to browse internet, etc.
Good find none-the-less.
I've been following these a lot and so far have been pretty disappointed.
There are a few different ones, the best specs-wise being the cStick.
Always Innovating HDMI dongle (only selling to vendors I believe)
http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/01...eils-open-source-android-4-0-hdmi-dongle-stb/
Mini X Plus and/or Mk802 (my problem with this company is I was reading on their forums reports of both overheating and 512MB models being sold as 1GB).
https://www.miniand.com/products/Mini Xplus TV Box H24
Apparently the Roku streaming stick requires MHL-enabled televisions.
And the best I've seen the cStick has been delayed time and time again and so far haven't updated their status in months.

If anyone knows about any more let me know!

I have been looking at cstick as well, but the lack of information makes me consider it a dead project.
I have ordered a Tizzbird N1, which is more focused on being a media player but will have Google Market (with custom firmware) and the possibility to run apps.
Code:

They are claiming that they will start deliver in Sweden the 27th of August (postponed from 8th of August)

That reminds me of the Raspberry Pi, might have to pick one of these up!
I have had a mk802 for a month or more. Its OK not great. Recently it doesn't want to grab wifi which makes it almost useless. Its laggy and for sale.

another thing, I have a XBMC on my original xbox, so your saying i could hook it up to that and browse internet thru the TV? i am sure i could do it with the 360 i have as well..
Quite slick. I found this one on Amazon; definitely added to my wishlist to go with a shiny new HDTV for my living room.
I'm also considering to buy one, but don't you think it can very easily overheat?
