Hello XDA Community,
I invested over a year on this project and spent many frustrating hours getting a tablet based OS to perform like a version made for TV's.
This is not a finished product, but I thought some of you may find it useful. I am not a developer and therefore cannot guarantee an issue free experience. I stepped away from the project due to getting stuck in many areas. If anyone with the skills, time and willingness to help help me polish this OS is up to the task...feel free to send me a PM.
Without further delay, I present AvA ROM (Android Video Appliance) for Tinkerboard:
Demo video: AvA ROM - Boot Demo (boot pop-up in video is fixed)
Download: AvA ROM RC1

}
Things to know:
Based on Android 7.1.2.
Play Store is preinstalled.
Works best with keyboard and mouse.
Plugging in wireless remotes causes severe slowdown (solution = Android TV Remote app).
Shutdown/sleep doesn't work well.
Should run on Tinkerboard S.
Not licensed for Netflix or Disney Plus (most other apps and games work).
Image is 2.46 GB in size (minimum 4GB SD card).
There are workarounds for the above licensing woes, solutions are just a Google search away.
I look forward to hearing some of you got to try it out.

Today mozilla released an alpha version of the so called "fennec" Browser, the mobile version of firefox,
Although they have been releasing udates and actual releases for the Nokia n810 internet tablet, Today they released a version for......Desktop versions of windows, Mac os x and linux.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/
Wow!, instructions on usage are on the page. Obviosuly mozilla decided this was the best way to show you what they are working on without buying one of those silly useless (but very good) Internet tablets...
Some screens....

cool, thanks for posting.
anyword on the windows mobile install?
there is a developer's blog with screen from it running on wm6. i wish he would make it available
Looks sweet. Can't wait to try it.
TELL me about it, i can't wait for it, trying it out on the pc. It seems awesome. Youtube doesn't work, but im not sure if an installation of flash works with it. (who needs it anyway huh? Youtube program from HTC works fine!) Plug-ins are also a feature with fennec, which will be awesome for people on here to get some good useful plugins made for us all!
Available for download here
Obviously, users with proper computers need the fennec-1.0a1.en-US.win32.zip version!
Ok. So my company purchased two 7" Android tablets pre-production from China. They turned out to actually not be "real" android as it seems to be running a skinned down Android on top of Windows CE. We are looking to place Android tablets in retail locations for a pilot test. I'm looking for a developer that would be able to do one or both of the following:
1) Put REAL Android on here. It doesn't matter whether it is 1.5, 1.6, etc. but we don't want Windows running in the background for the obvious reasons.
2) Develop a VERY simple (but pretty) application for a registration process that would guide the user through entering the values for the questions we are asking. The trick to this app is we also need a way to completely lock the device down so that the user can only use that app. Maybe a hidden button in a corner that would prompt for a password so that we could get out of the app.
We would gladly send one of these tablets and let the dev keep them for their time and we would also be willing to discuss pay based on time invested. Please PM if interested. Pics of the units below:

Bump...........
Porting Android to this device is probably an insanely time consuming and difficult project. Just look at the Android porting projects for various Non-android HTC Devices such as the Touch Pro/Diamond. Takes for ages as drivers needs to be written, etc...
I think you would be better of thrashing those fake tablets and maybe do some proper research next time you buy something from China..
So, a few days ago, when I was browsing through my games, I wanted to buy some in game stuff. But then, I clicked on the item I wanted to purchase, it said in app purchases cannot be completed. As my phone was just rooted natively, which got me thinking if rooting is the problem. Then, I got a fresh new copy of developer ROM by MIUI official for Pro. But after I reinstalled everything, the same problem still occurs, so it made me wonder, if the reason in app purchases could not be completed is because of the framework that the app loads. For example, it loads Xiaomi's Framework instead of Google's Framework.
Anyone has any solution for this? Play store works just fine, but in app purchases doesn't.
My current problem
1st picture is the same game as the 3rd picture, but ran on different platform.
1st picture- On Redmi Pro MIUI 8 7.6.10 Weekly Build (Developer), previously on MIUI 8 8.2.10 Stable, both china versions.
3rd picture- On Nox Emulator on PC Android 4.4.1 with Root enabled.
It works in the emulator but not on the device.
Nox is running stock Android by the watyy.
2nd picture is another game, unfortunately couldn't get the app to work on the Emulator.
Much help would be appreciated!

P/S: NO FREEDOM INSTALLED

Hi friends ...!
I have an Alcatel One Touch Pop C7 (7041X) that is still a phone, but with too old software - Android 4.0.2, which not allow install of most the apps who I have interested.
I decided to upgrade it to the above level.
My goal was to achieve optimum functionality of device and durability of the battery.
I tried a lot of variants. Тhe most appealing to me stayed the version CyanogenMod CM12.1_StableEdition_V2. This customROM (Android 5.1.1 (LolliPop)) is perfect in every way except the Multimedia. In my opinion the problem comes from the used decoders and encoders ... or more precisely in their settings ...I read on the Internet and maked a lot of experiments ... but alas with no result ...!
Now will be glad if I eliminate this problem with your help ...!
One quick word about the problem or at least what the most annoys me.
The problem appears when I try to watch TV online with the Da Player app (play streaming video in format *.m3u8). The application itself installs normally, loading the playlist also works, but when playing whoever it is channel, it previews the following (see attachment screen ) without sound.

,
I want to emphasize that on the same phone, but installed Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) - this effect is not observed - the app (Da Player) works fine.
The phone is rotatable and has an MT6582 processor.
I would be really glad if anybody would cooperate ...
Thanks in advance !
Viper4Android on NP1: have You successfully installed? (file used and instruction, please)
I think you'll be better using Wavelet nowadays, it is much better UI-wise, it works out of the box with every devices (wired or BT) and has all the most important features to enhance the sonic aspects of your headphones/IEMs. Moreover, Viper4Android hasn't been updated since 2018 (2019 for the unofficial version)... I think it's time to leave it in peace.

Android 12 (Viper4Android)
Has anyone managed to get Viper4Android working on the latest beta of Android 12? The usual methods don't work (makes sense, since its a new OS). Just curious. I like Android 12 so far, but might roll back to 11 if I can't get Viper going...
forum.xda-developers.com
I got it working but the driver is greyed out and not clickable. But I hear it working on my phone if it's in legacy/compability mode. I managed to get it working by following the last guide I shared in the magisk extension thread here. It's for xiaomi phones but also works with NP1. But if I'm going to be honest I don't use V4A it's not good I use Wavelet (from the same creator of V4A) that's much better. My recommendation is give it a rest it's not good anymore, use Wavelet instead.
for who interest...im not sound mod fan
