Pretty much the same thing as many of the new china Tablets .
The firmware uses cramfs , but I've found another firmware that works,,,, BUT since it's made to be used with a touchscreen no USB or remote is working.
Is there anyone who has an idea on what to to..
The firmware i used to flash the box with is rooted and that's really all I need.

Very cute . But I'm not sure if it was so helpfull...

Meh - just reread the question. If you can't install anything on it then I don't see what you can do. Reflash back to stock and leave it in a working state.

Well
I don't agree... I currently have the stock FW installed but I wan't to root the device to make 100% use of the hardware

Windows Mobile as Camera (DSLR) Remote

Hi all,
I am looking for a piece of software that will let me use my Kaiser as a remote for my Canon EOS 450d / Digital Rebel XSi.
This should be possible, both wired and/or through IR, but I can't seem to find this software anywhere!
I have found a program remote controls pentax cameras over IR:

The program can be found on http://gastaldelli.googlepages.com/
or on http://downloads.ziddu.com/downloadfile/1777010/RCFP.rar.html
(more info here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/33345-windows-mobile-pentax-remote.html)
Also, I have found a program that remote controls Nikon Coolpix cameras from Windows Mobile (wired).
found here: http://www.ruwebit.net/article/81
These programs show exactly what I need! I just cant seem to find it for Canon cameras!
(Other relevant software: http://www.idruna.com/remoteediting.html -> a bit too complicated for my intention though!)
Can anyone help me out with this? Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Would you mind typing the right way up?
In reaction to your post; using a remote would allow for time-lapse shooting, reduces vibration when shooting, etc.
I take it youre not a photographer?
jor3l, hw do u type upside down?
You do know the remotes only cost like $25, right? Probably why no one's bothered to write any software to replace it. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/116234-REG/Canon_2467A001_RC_5_Remote_Controller.html

Note I have the ARM9 model, without the x86 processor upgrade.
I would like to find a way to replace Windows CE with Android, possibly using the recently released VMWare for mobile (ARM build)
Anyone who could assist me on this, I would gladly be your *****
Wasn't sure which forum to post this in.
Further links, in case you haven't heard of this thing:
Link 1
Link 2
Anyone?
I know XDA is inhabited by the finest minds, surely someone can help me with this?
I think this would be very difficult to do. Especially if you want to put in a virtual box. With those specs running both Windows C.E and Android would make it slow.
If you wanted to replace the OS on there, you'd have to write all the drivers from scratch.
I wouldn't say its very possible.
is there anyway to run windows mobile apps on a windows ce device? also is there a way to run the windows mobile interface on a windows ce device?
some run, some don't, so you'll need to test them. no way to get winmo interface on ce or vise versa.the only share the kernel
Yes, WinCE and WinMo are different operating systems, they share the same kernel. Using WindowsCE on this machine is about 80% the same as using Windows XP.
HARet
Still digging for info, as these things are becoming popular now.
Haret will run on this. And I have the Topaz Android build 2.01, I just need some help with configuration. I hope someone will read this and help me out!

[Q] Nook Color wl1271 unlock?

its a long shot but maybe some here can help or at least refer me to someone who can...
i was wondering if anybody was able to enable the Bluetooth and/or FM capabilities of the Nook Color. as it has the wl1271 which according to TI supprorts BlueTooth and FM Transmitting and receiving . it seems to me that it might be a simple software change to enable both of them.
i tried building the original kernel and inserting the BT firmware scripts i download from TI (Froyo_L27.5.2_Connectivity_1271_Panda-1.0-Linux-x86-Install)
and i still cant get the blutooth to show up :-/
any ideas? is there a possibility that the UART interface is not connected on the NC to the BT and therefore cannot control it? i assumed that this chip has only one Host interface which the wifi uses and therefore there shouldn't be any problems with the other capabilities
This isn't the Q&A section

Apply your question(s) in the proper sub-forum, or it might result in a temporary vacation
Actually i'll leave this open, see where it leads to
Here is a thread about the BT and the FM by pokey9000:

very interesting read...
wow
it is a great post but it got dirty with all bunch of other topics, i think this issue deserves its own thread as it can lead to enabling 2 amazing features for the nook.
so, basically we need to see if the HCI interface pins are connected right to enable this feature...
the minimum requirements according to the document are:
12 BT_EN <--> GPIO on OMAP.
13 HCI_TX <--> UART lines on the OMAP. UART2_TX
15 HCI_RX <--> UART lines on the OMAP. UART2_RX
17 HCI_CTS <--> OMAP UART CTS line. UART2_CTS
19 HCI_RTS <--> OMAP UART RTS line. UART2_RTS
but how can we check that? is it possible that B&N didnt connect this on purpose ?
that would be such a waste, on the other hand they didnt put a Mic support 3.5 headphones jack even that its supported...
Someone needs to open the NC... trace and measure...
as the USB host will not provide any data...
Edit:
I found this link from ti... pre-compiled linux drivers...
you may need a panda board...

The WL127x doesn't work like that. It goes through the UART, so there's no enumeration. The kernel doesn't know if it's working until you run succeed in running an hciattach on the interface.

[HELP] Best app to get on a pc screen a real time image of my Nexus S screen

In order to run demos and project (for large audiences) what appears on the screen of my Nexus S, I'm looking for the best app (not necessarily free) able to do that via USB or WiFi.
Have you addressed the same need in the past?
Any suggestion?
Thanks
P.S. Being able to do that without installing any special software on the pc would be a plus
As far as I know, our phones don't have mhl support, so I don't think that you can do this. However there is an app Team viewer, where you can get your pc desktop on your phone. If that doesn't work maybe you can do a gallery of screenshots from the phone to the pc to show what you want? I don't know, hopefully that helps.
its low res but check out webkey in the market. it has a web based screen viewing function as part of its security features, pretty handy.
Hey,
There is an app called "MirrorOP" in the Googleplay market. Install it and then install "MirrorOP Reciever" for PC. Then you will be able to get your phone screen to PC. In the settings you can change the resolution and quality, so you can incerase fps to 25 fps (on the lowest settings).
PS: your nexus must be rooted
greets

Nevermind. Read the OP wrong.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitmaptest&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iaXRtYXB0ZXN0Il0.hey, try this. Crystal screen in play store.
If you just want static real-time screenshots, e.g., no animation, try AirDroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid). Your phone must have root and grant AirDroid root access to capture screenshots.
This is overkill but if you have the options, it works great.
If you have a Samsung SmartTV connecting to the same network your phone is on, download the app called SwipeIt on both the TV and the phone. You can then use SwipeIt to project your phone screen to the TV.
Thank you all for the kind help.
I really thought this was easier to do.
I tried most of the apps you recommended and they generally require an internet connection rather than a simpler one-to-one connection to the PC (in my case this could be an issue).
I'm now oriented to just record a session, download the video to the PC and play it to demo what I had to demo.

e-Cigarette Mod with a touch screen and music capabilities - firmware upgradeable

Hey there guys, I'm writing in the off topic section about this e-cigarette I've just got, it's called Joyetech Ocular C and it comes with a color touch screen , music player and photo viewer capabilities , bluetooth conectivity, a pedometer to count your steps and from what I understand, it has around 2Gb of memory , it is firmware upgradeable and I'm wondering if there is more that can be done to it in therms of functionality.
It's true that vapers, the people who smoke e-cigarettes as their called, dont really need any of this functionality in their devices since they mainly use them purely for smoking, it's nice however to have something a little extra to go with it.
I've looked online for custom firmwares or methods to customise your firmware for these type of devices, but i've only found info on old devices that come with small monochrome screens and the most you can do is upload logos on to the device.
My interests are on how you can access the root of the system built into these devices since it must have a processor and a file sistem inside, how to edit some of these files , per example, you have the option to upload around 100 pictures and some songs ( the memory on it is 2GB ) but there's no way of deleting them once uploaded, in case your storage gets full.
Also it would be nice if users could implement or extent more functionality in the device, par example it only suports .jpeg files in the photo viewer , .png &/or .gif to use as a screen saver would be nice, more so even video playback capability .
And before I get laffed at for asking so much out of an electronic cigarette, I think that since it does come from the factory with all these functionalities and hardware, it's a shame they dont use it to it's fullest.
So is there anyone having any clues on how to "get inside" these devices and tuning them up ?
I've included the latest firmware I could find for the device as well as the program they offer for you to upload it onto the device. If anybody could crack it opn and take a look inside and see at least what's in there, that would be a start.
