Native Backtrck5

Has anyone been able to get Backtrack5 running natively on the TPT? I know we could get it to work through VNC and stuff like that. I've seen the Iconia and Xoom running Ubuntu and BT5 and was wondering if anyone knew how to get it working on this device.

I would highly doubt it, I know there is a post in development on getting Ubuntu via VNC, but the developers are hard at work on getting CM9 together, and Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we would ultimately need the NVFlash keys from lenovo to make any distro run natively, which lenovo has made clear they will never release. we can only hope that they are leaked like the K1's were.

Thanks, I was just curious. My room mate has BT5 on his Xoom so I thought it would be worth the inquiry.

I have always wanted to try out a raspberry pi or to see a good video breakdown of mirroring the display. Hopefully the Miracast standard will take off but I heard you can't be connected to WiFi and use miracast at the same time
I would also like to know some options

Has anyone made progress geting Nexus 7 mirroring working to a TV/Monitor?
I feel this tablet is sooooooo close to PERFECT except for this one thing...

no mirroring on Nexus 7
Hello there, this is the first time i reply. I have my Nexus 7 it's perfect in many ways but this is an epic fail. I have made a little research and i don't see any way to mirror th N7 exept the Raspberry pi way, I don't get why Google would blocked their first tablet from mirroring if it has everything to do it. I hope someone can make an easy solution soon.

I started this thread. I found some links that show android mirroring. Check it out.

I don't think that "didn't implement" means the same thing as "blocked". OTOH, I never saw the (apparently short-lived) marketing claims by Google that said the N7 would do it.
This post

seems to suggest that there may be specific hardware performance limitations that make it improbable on the N7.
There are some threads on XDA (& other places too) where folks talk about their experiences attempting either WiDi or Miracast connection with the N4/N7/N10.
I haven't seen any reports of success with either on the N7... despite the curious WiDi option in the display settings in stock 4.2.1 on the N7... what's it for?
I was aware of all this prior to my purchase, but bought the N7 anyway. I'm still hopeful that something will happen in a future update; Miracast is still relatively new... Netgear is shipping their 3rd PTV device, and they are not yet Miracast certified.
cheers

[Q] Point of modding?

sorry if this has already been answered, but besides the obvious "why not?" answer, what is the point of modding this?
i just got the Player today (will be installing when i get home from work), so while i'm obviously excited, i'm also curious. i have a Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 and a Chromecast (which will be moved to the spare room tv in the very near future. i also see a lot of XBMC/Kodi being mentioned, which i have zero need for as i already have a fully dedicated HTPC build with MediaPortal working flawlessly.
so with that info out of the way, what would be the point of rooting, or modding the Nexus Player?
Thanks :good:

Custom rom for Roku 2 XD?

Firstly I would like to say sorry If I post this in the wrong place, vary new to XDA. I don't really post things here.
So I got an old Roku from a local thrift store that works perfectly fine with everything included. I was hoping to swap it out for the firestick my family has been using. The firestick we have been using is like 1st or 2nd gen so it runs slower then anything and is starting to not respond well at all. Unless I am extremely dumb I can't find anything relating to the topic of how to flash a custom firmware onto it.
I don't really know this company that well other than some like it and some don't. I personally would rather have the OS of my choosing on it. That's where posting here comes in.
I would like to install some sort of android or google TV on it, if anyone knows any info on where or how to flash something like lineageOS or something that would would be appreciated. That or someone posting the link to exactly what I need resulting in the immediate termination of my brain. Thanks in advance.

Model 3050X - Ruku 2 XD
