Hi,
I'm looking for a way to pull the display manufacturer information without opening the device. Is that possible somehow?
Found a terminal command in an sony xperia thread, but not sure which file I should run it on? (If that is how this command is used. I'm a noob to linux.)
- su
- mesg|grep -i panel
On a sidenote:
Does samsung make all their panels internally? Or do they just do their own display development and hire sub-contractors to do the actual manufacturing.
My purpose to all of this is to see if I can find a "original" part on aliexpress for a demanding relative

Hi, I am an Android development newbie that has grasp of general concepts, played with ADB a little, and Eclipse a little.
My current idea is to develope an app that actually decodes the various memory stats for Android, merely as an education for my Android development. I do not intend to create "yet another task killer".
I know about free, meminfo, and procrank.
My overall objective are to run one of those (maybe all of them and somehow merge the numbers), get their numbers, parse them, and then display some sort of graph that will show where the memory went. Or in other words, I want to write something similar to DiskUsage, but for RAM.
So the question is... How do you run one of these shell (or busybox) commands, and get the output, so a Java program can parse it? My Google-fu is weak and I can't seem to find any references on this. though I think I am using the wrong keywords.
I know there's an app called Meminfo that displays cat /proc/meminfo so I know it can be done. Heck, SetCPU also does it (and much more under Info)

For executing shell commands, look for code examples that use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(); like this post.
Depending on what you want to do, you may not need to execute shell commands to get this information: just open /proc/meminfo (or whateever) directly as a regular file and parse the content.

Got that. Thanks. I may go with the meminfo as that seem to be the most painless way to get started.
I'm looking for a tool that will let me create an Android launcher shortcut that runs a shell command and then exits. It's that simple.
For the life of me, I can't find people talking about this kind of thing anywhere in regards to Android.
I've made a little shell utility that does some important housekeeping, and I'd rather be able to execute it quickly from the Android desktop.
I'm pretty sure tasker can help you create custom widgets to do this for you, but it isnt cheap for only that purpose. AutomateIt, locale (something like this) or a similar automation app can probably do this too.
On that note maybe script manager or something like that can help you too.
Thank you so much!
Those are exactly the kind of tools I was looking for.
No worries mate
Hi,
i know this is a kinda unusual question, but is there any way to capture > manipulate > output the screen in real time? Are there any APIs providing something similar and is the device hardware capable of doing so?
Thanks alot for your input
Did you try with ADB? (it may not work depending on hardware)
adb screenrecord
I don't know if this is posted in the right place, I'm just assuming. So I'm basically assuming a lot of things with this "potential" project, and the word potential being an indicator that I don't have any specific details (at least in regard to technical).
Here's what I'm after: Using Augmented Reality to create a PC monitor. In other words instead of an Image, or a video file being rendered, it would be a live stream of my desktop.
Here's what I'm assuming: 1. That there are a lot of technical details in regards to changing the size of the actual screen that's rendered. 2. That it is possible to use google cardboard as a means to view this monitor.
And honestly that's all I can think of right now my brain is fried. Hope someone here can help, though for some reason I doubt it.
Hello,
I am not sure if this topic is in the right forum, if not - feel free to move it wherever you found appropriate.
I have few questions regarding development on Android. My customer wants Android-based solution for streaming the content of the phone (entire) screen to web client(s), but I think some SBC with Linux installed will do the trick instead using the Android phone. My main concerns using Android are:
can Android run 'standard' Linux-like daemons? Say I want service that runs 24x7 all the time, without having a fear it will be stopped by the OS
as I understood, grabbing thee whole screen is considered to be security risk. Does it mean I have to create my own ROM with 'system app'. If yes, can someone please point me where to find documentation/samples - I never did such thing. There also might be a need to adjust permissions to access frame buffer device or similar. I would also need some guidance on these
I'd like to use C++ instead of Java to grab image. Is that possible without custom system app/ROM?
Thank you in advance
