Is there any way to do a screencast on an Android device... in particular the Nexus 7? I'm trying to put together a video and I wanted a clip that showed the U.S. and it zoomed into a specific city. Problem is, on the computer Google Earth is somewhat choppy despite having nearly brand new hardware, and Google Maps just does an instant snap to that location. Google Maps on my N7 on the other hand works JUST AS I WOULD LIKE... but I'm not sure how to capture it?
Any idea?

Screencast captures your phone screen at high frame rates into a high quality MPEG4 video with audio. It can also take snapshots of your screen by holding the search key on your phone.

I want something like this, not to record a screencast, but to use as a way of having video out in lieu of not having hdmi. I have a pc hooked up to my hdmi display and was looking at the options. This app sounds like the best but doesn't work yet with tegra 2/3.
How fast is it with other devices? Like could a game be played at a smooth frame rate? Does it allow to stream live and not record a video?
Are there any other ways of doing this?
I've been searching for a while now with no luck. I record gameplay on my GNote with the afore mentioned app but seeing as the developer has all but vanished I'm guessing we won't be seeing Tetra support.
You'd almost think Nvidia would make an app to do this just so Tetra fans could make gameplay videos, thereby promoting their devices.

There are some demo videos of stuff coming... Nivdia has one showing a playbook to a TV that has the Miracast protocol
and ESR labs has the following
Hopefully soon...
Unless you already have a TV with it built in, you will need a some some sort dongle that has WiFi and s HDMI output. I just got a raspberry pi to be used with the ESR labs Android Transporter when it come available.

I just stumbled upon those videos yesterday. Very interesting stuff. I think I may grab a couple of raspberry pi's. I'm in Canada and I couldn't find it in stock right now. I wish they would build a cheap enclosure for it. I put a post on their website if they plan on making a linux client and not just for the pi. I would think it wouldn't take too much to make a generic version. I also noticed some hdmi outputs on tablets don't provide 1:1 mirroring. For ex, acer tablets cutoff the bottom menu. This I believe is for video playback, which makes sense, but I hope it's an option or in the spec of miracast to offer 1:1. I saw a TI demo of miracast as well, and they make mention of the display showing one thing and the tablet showing something different typical of normal wired hdmi outputs. Nvidia also has demo's of miracast as you linked, but I hope they make a windows client. It'll be a ways off before it's standard on TV's and it sounds like there will be dongle's available, but a lot of people have computers hooked up to their displays so it would be nice if there is a complete software solution as well.
Android Transporter for the Nexus7 and Raspberry PI
Hi all,
the video you showed in the one post is our old demo video.
Since yesterday we have a public preview. please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/

No, it's not possible. you need root or a pc (actually the root way to do it does not work atm)
Android 4.2 is supposed to include native support for Miracast devices. So we just need the Miracast set top boxes.
Does anyone know if Miracast carries over Audio?
I just installed Screencast on my N7 with CM10.1 grouper nightly 12182012.
When I try to screen capture video in landscape or in portrait the audio saves properly, but the video is a static hodgepodge of TWRP Touch recovery in a purplish sepiatone
yo b1LL did you bother reading Screencast app description? doesnt support Nexus 7 nor any tegra 3 based devices
Here's one
There's another thread that has one, and it works for screencasting but it really only gets 1-2 fps. So if you're desperate:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663390
(skip down to "Questions" if you're in a rush)
Gentlemen,
I have a GNex that I no longer use for phone duty (was replaced with Nexus 4), and am contemplating converting it to a steamer tv box (a la Google TV).
I have a MHL adapter coming today, and I have the portrait-orientation dock as well. Shameful display from Samsung for making mirroring not work past 4.0.3 with the dock, thus a 3rd party MHL adapter is now needed. I have diNovo Mini on controller duty.
I did some testing (GNex on 4.0.2 + Samsung Dock) on a 22" 1080p monitor, and everything just looked huge and bad and blurry with the factory ROM. I installed the latest build of ParanoidAndroid, put the phone in Tablet mode, and shrunk everything as small as it will go. Couldn't test it with the monitor (Dock doesn't mirror with JB) yet, but at least on the device screen, things look more favorable.
Questions --
1 - Is there a recommended ROM for this (other than Paranoid) that will let me Tablet/Phablet layout + scale elements to not look like hell blown up to a 42" 1080p screen ?
2a - Are there any useful media apps I should know about (other than XBMC, Netflix, TV.com, Streamie) ?
2b - Are there any useful utility apps I should know about (other than Sixaxis Controller) ?
3 - Is there a better launcher than stock for this use? (I tried TVLauncher and didn't care for it).
4 - Or, forget about the whole thing and wait for my OUYA to show up in March?
Thanks.
iMediaShare has lots of channels and content for streaming.
Ubuntu comes out soon, you could run XBMC through that and have more control of the UI. I believe Ubuntu goes to a full desktop mode so it'll look good on a monitor/large display.
This would also allow for more powerful remote desktop use too.
I was under the impression that it only mirrors the output, so you need something like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934495 to proceed.
You don't really need full Panadroid, just a DPI change to force tablet mode all the time.

Got myself a 'made in China' pocket projector.
It only has the size of a phone and has a 5000mah battery so it's easy to enjoy a big screen everywhere.
(A full battery gives about 2 hours and 15 minutes of projection time at full brightness and the projector easily goes over 100 inch in projection size)
It has Wifi & Bluetooth, 2 usb connections, an infra red receiver, a hdmi out, earphone/line-out and runs on Android 4.4.4.
The usb makes it easy to connect harddisk, memory stick,.. but also things like keyboard & mouse. (you can also use it as a powerbank to charge your phone.-
The built in speaker has 1 Watt and sounds quite loud for this little device but it has no bass so you can connect it also to a soundsystem with the line out (or wireless with bluetooth) for better sound experience
It has a native 854 by 480 resolution, which is not HD but as you see in the youtube video it is a very clear and sharp image.
The built-in media player supports about every music, video and picture format (if it is supported by an app in android)
It is advertised on various websites going from 120 Ansi Lumen up to 1000 lumens but the actual lumens are 100.
For such a small projector this is more then enough. It is visible inside during daytime (not outside in direct sunlight) but it is at it's best in low light/dark room situation.
The Playstore is fully working so almost every app can be installed. Apps that mirror your phone/laptop screen let you enjoy everything wireless with wifi on a big screen
The launcher provided is nice but provides no settings which is a shame because if i delete an app from the homescreen the picture shortcut will stay and i can't replace it with something else. (I however always can install another launcher from the playstore)
It also has no pulldown menu for notifications/quicksettings, so if i get a notification, i can hear it but i cannot open the pulldown screen
The quadcore Arm Cortex a7 with RK3128 chip makes the Android in this projector react very smooth & fast.
It has 1 gigabyte ram & 16 Gigabyte internal memory. 1 gigabyte is not that much because most apps will only install in this memory and you start with only about 500 megabyte of free storage place.
The only minus is the Hdmi connection slot.. It doesn't support Hdmi IN, only hdmi out, that means you can not connect a game console to it for playing games. The Chinese sellers didn't mention it was only hdmi out.. (who wants a hdmi out to a smaller tv screen that shuts down the projection screen once connected lol)
Hello Man,
I thinking about other using of this, so i would like install to device IFTTT (if this then that) app. It's can be working? I would like to using this device for wakeup alarm video (ie. a short movie from internal memory).
thanks.

Bricked mine - help
I saw there was an update available and downloaded it. Got an error on install and now it's stuck on the recovery system screen. None of the options get it out of the loop. Know anyplace where there's a factory image?

Fixed!
Got hold of the vendor thru Amazon. Downloaded the image file and installer program (713mb). Went smoothly thru a male to male USB cable. Now have the latest upgrade. htc_d002_box_en_noota_20160317-3.img
Where you find this vendor? My projector after update not working and now in recovery mode too
Vendor
The vendor was hard to contact directly. Amazon intercepts communications and edits out email addresses, even when you try to disguise them.
Eventually, they did get an email to me directly and included the installer zip file and the instruction doc file. And a link to mailQQ.com where they had put the .img file.
The return email address I got was [email protected]
Ed
Thank you very much for helping, now I repairing my projector and everything is working
Hello, can you tell me if it has keystone correction?
Thanks
No, it doesn't. Only focus.
ASK
Hi,
Is it possibile to switch off the LED (and fan) from API or other way? (like standby mode in a smartphone. Processes are running, ie. alarm clock,etc.). Thx.
I don't know. I'm not a programmer.
Is this a clone of the EcSee M6 projector?
If so, is there a difference?
Can you say something to the fan noise?
It DOES say M6 on the box it came in and the logo M6 is shown on the illustration in the instruction booklet but not on the projector. That's all I know about it.
The fan noise is audible but not bad enough to distract from the audio. The fan slows down and is quieter when not using the charger.
Thank you for the fast answer.
So I am looking forward to get it soon, it's on it's way from gearbest.
Does it have OTA update function?
Please note my previous post about updates. This projector's android version still includes setup apps that may try to use a cell phone chip that's NOT in the unit as it seems to have been developed using a HTC image. I STRONGLY discourage anyone from using the OTA update function of this unit.
Received it and it works perfect.
I would like to mod the fan as its a little to loud.
There are quieter fans on the market.
Has anyone tried to open the projector?

The feeling is mutual, i've received the projector yesterday and i was very excited to replace the TV with this huge screen, but the noise of the fan is still echoing in my head. Just spoke to an expert that told me to try to put some grease/vaseline (industrial) or to replace the fan with a best one. He has no problem to make that operation but my question is is there a quieter fan ?
Would anyone be able to upload the firmware? I have contacted the manufactures but haven't heard back yet... probably due to Chinese holiday. Mine was June 2016, but I think an older kernel would work.
I need the firmware too because i have the chinese firmware (no play store) and i would change to english firmware with kodi and play store.
Thanks.
I have the same device - but i stock on recovery. i need rom for that device. someone know from where?

Beelink is known for producing some of the best affordable TV boxes and mini PCs on the market, and the A1 is one of their latest inventions. This device, which is much smaller than an average smartphone, packs an RK3328 quad-core processor, 4GB RAM, 16GB eMMc internal storage and lots of useful features. How does it perform in our daily lives, we will try to find out in this review.
Main Specs of the Beelink A1
Operating System: Android 7.1
Processor: RK3328 Quad-Core Processor (4*[email protected], Mali-450MP2 GPU)
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Storage: 16GB eMMc Internal Storage, TF Card support (up to 128GB)
HDMI: HDMI 2.0a output up to [email protected] + HDMI 3D video formats
Display: Digital LED display
Ports: Ethernet port*1, AV Port*1, DC port*1, Micro SD card slot*1, USB 3.0 Port*1, USB 2.0 Port*1, HDMI*1.
Dimension: 77mm*77mm*17mm (L x W x H)
Chassis: White, ABS Plastic
Retail Package: TV box*1, Remote control*1, HDMI cable*1, Power adapter*1, User manual*1
Retail Package
Inside the box, you will find a Beelink A1 TV box, a remote, an HDMI cable, a power adapter, and an English manual.
Design
Measured at 77mm*77mm*17mm, the Beelink A1 is the smallest TV Box we have ever reviewed. It has a much smaller footprint than the Jide Remix IO, the Jide Remix Mini and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
While lacking in size, this device still offers a slew of ports and slots. On the back side of the box you will find a 3.5mm AV multi-purpose port, an RJ45 Ethernet jack, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a DC port.
On the right side of the device, you will find two USB Type-A ports, one of USB 3.0 standard and the other of USB 2.0 standard. There’s also a Micro SD card slot which supports cards up to 128GB.
On the front side of the box you will find an IR receiver, and an LED display working as a digital clock.
The tiny casing is made of white ABS plastic, which gives the device an elegant and premium look.
The Beelink logo on the top side of the box is hidden most of the time, and can only be seen while we look at the box in a certain angle, when it reflects the lighting.
There are some vents on the bottom side to keep the box from overheating.
Like all products from Beelink, the build quality of the A1 is pretty good, even though it has a plastic shell, it still feels quite robust in our hands. The supplied remote is also well-built. Although still with a predictably lightweight, plastic finish and limited mouse pointer functionality, the box responds quickly to its commands and the infra-red range are acceptably long and broad.
Setting it up
Setting up the Beelink A1 is as easy as setting up any TV box. Connecting it to a TV via HDMI, plugging in the charger and you are good to go.
You will need to connect the device to the internet the first time you boot it, either via Wi-Fi or a LAN cable.
System & Apps
The Beelink A1 ships with Android 7.1 Nougat, but the user interface is tailor-made for a TV box. The launcher has everything laid out beautifully and is very easy to navigate. The date and time is located at the top left with the temperature widget below. In the center of the screen you have a link to the media center, internet browser and Google Play Store, There are also shortcuts to “clear memory”, app drawer, and settings laying below. To the right is an area where users can pin their most commonly used apps. Finally at the bottom left you have shortcuts to power, volume, at the bottom right you have shortcuts to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
The navigation bar at the very bottom is defaulted to be hidden, but you can bring it up with a mouse. It has many virtual keys, including a power key, a hide-bar key, a volume- key, a back key, a home key, a recent apps key, a volume+ key, and a screenshot key.
The A1 doesn’t come loaded with bloatware, but there are some preinstalled apps. Besides the stock Google Play Store, Android Web Browser, Calculator and Gallery, you can also find Beelink’s very own App Store, Bee Files Explorer, Media Center and Bee Music in the app drawer. There are also some third-party apps preinstalled, including the Fishing Joy game app.
As a TV box, the A1 is designed mainly for media consumption, and you can find a great number of media playback apps in Google Play, including YouTube, Netflix, Kodi and Hulu. The A1 has no problem streaming 4K videos smoothly on YouTube, but I did notice some hiccups while playing a few local videos with Kodi.
Another thing I need to mention is that I could not find a way to play local videos in full screen with the Beelink’s Media Center app.
Fortunately I don’t really need to use it that often, other media playback apps such as Kodi, Mobo Player and MX Player all work well with full-screen video playback. Only when I needed to use the PiP (Picture in Picture) function would I open the Beelink Media Center, as it works great if you want to keep your eyes on two things at once.
Another relatively unusual feature of the Beelink A1 is its ability to act as a Networked Attached Storage (NAS) device although that’s only going to be really useful if you’ve an external storage connected. That’s not an area I am particularly interested in but I know there are users desperately wanting it. There’s also settings to activate the A1 as a portable WiFi hotspot, but only at 2.4GHz.
Since it is running on Android 7.1 Nougat, the A1 can also serve other functionalities such as E-Mails, Web-browsing and social networking, but you will need a mouse and a keyboard for those tasks, as it would be too awkward typing texts with a remote and the on-screen keyboard.
Another notable feature of this box is the ability to receive OTA (Over-the-Air) firmware updates. My unit received 3 OTA updates during my two weeks’ testing it.
Performance
The Beelink A1 is powered by a Rockchip RK3328 quad-core processor and 4GB RAM. It wouldn’t really match those flagship Android smartphones when it comes to benchmark scores, but as a TV box, it has a lot of power under the hood.
In Antutu V6 benchmark test, the A1 scored 33,992, ranking above competitions such as the Jide Remix IO (32,981), the Zidoo X9s (33,990) and Jide Remix Mini (23,919).
In Geekbench 4 CPU test, the A1 notched 569 in single-core, 1,470 in multi-core, and 1,128 in computing. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a way to run 3DMark, PCMark for Android and Androbench tests on the A1.
As for the real-world performance, the A1 was pretty smooth when we set the HDMI output at 1080P resolution. At 4K, however, the A1 became less responsive, and there were frequent stutters and delays with different tasks.
The A1 had no problem playing most 1080P videos we threw at it, but it did struggle with some 4K clips. In the Antutu Video Tester Benchmark, the A1 scored 668, compatible with most of the video formats included in the benchmark test.
Thanks to the 4 gigabits of RAM underneath, the A1 could handle a decent amount of multi-tasking. It remained smooth and responsive even though there were quite a number of apps running in the background.
Heavier productivity tasks such as editing a video with VidTrim or making a Presentation with Microsoft PowerPoint might be a little challenging for the A1. But not many people will try those tasks with a TV box, even though it is more capable of handling them than some so-called Android mini PCs. Sorry, Jide!
Generally speaking, the A1 is designed to perform well as a media consuming device, and it does.
Connectivity
The A1 offers many connectivity options. It supports 2.4GHz/5GHz dual band Wi-Fi, and the Wireless connection is very solid. It was able to pick up wireless hotspots at places where the Remix Mini couldn’t. If Wireless connection isn’t enough, there’s an RJ-45 Ethernet jack. There’s also Bluetooth 4.0 on board to take care of local data transfer and connecting with audio and input devices.
The HDMI 2.0 port on the A1 can output videos up to [email protected], and should work well with most TV and projectors. The USB 3.0 port does have problems reading some external USB storages, but the USB 2.0 port worked fine will all external drives I plugged in. The Micro SD card slot had no problem reading my 32GB Samsung card and my 64GB Transcend card.
Verdict
Priced at $69.99, the Beelink A1 is extremely affordable and offers a lot for the money. In fact it is arguably one of the best TV boxes out there. With an elegant design, a slew of outputs and inputs, and a lot of horsepower under the hood. It works fine as a TV box as well as a Home Theatre PC, and there aren’t many similarly priced alternatives out there that offer the same amount of value.
Hello, when you played youtube 4k video, does it really display in 4k or maximum 1080p ? Thank you.

Go to YouTube reviewers of this product. They're kind of iffy on how well 4K does or doesn't work. This reviewer reviews two Beelink products and so it's not biased against Beelink.

I'm putting this here in case other owners of this or a similar unit can help me with my first Android TV box.
I'm attempting to use this unit kind of like a cheapo Chromebox. I installed Nova Launcher to make this more doable. I believe it will work pretty well for this but I have a few issues/questions.
1. There is a bug with time format. The front of the unit displays 24 hour format. You can adjust in DATE & TIME settings but the fix only works until reboot. Once you reboot it's back to 24 hour format. (That temporary fix is turning 24 hour format on and then off.)
2. There is no easy way to reboot the unit save for unplugging it. The POWER button in the Nav Bar only powers off instead of offering 'sleep' or 'reboot'. As a workaround I installed 'SIMPLE REBOOT' here --
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=simple.reboot.com&hl=en
Since the A1 is already rooted it's a breeze. Unfortunately there's still no 'sleep' mode. Hmm.
3. The Navigation Bar is hidden. With a wireless keyboard it is tricky to make it show. Once up it's transparent and nice but if you reboot it's gone again. Is there a trick to keep it active? I tried a third party nav app and the same thing happens -- gone after reboot..
(UPDATE -- Beelink suggests there's a handy dandy way to activate nav bar with remote. But I don't want that. I want it always activated. Even after reboot. I found an app called Navigation bar --
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy92.navigationbar&hl=en
It boots up each time which is good. What's bad is the bar doesn't hide the way you'd want to sometimes.
4. This unit doesn't want to sleep. If you set it to sleep -- it won't. (UPDATE -- I had activated Developer Options and discovered a NEVER SLEEP function selected. I deselected but still wasn't impressed sleep was working.)
5. Is there a way to turn off virtual keyboard? (UPDATE -- Yeah, another app workaround. Null keyboard. It's a virtual keyboard that isn't actually there. So when attach a real keyboard the virtual is gone.)

Beelink is awesome. I sent them an email about these items and today, quite by surprise, two of them were fixed.
The time format now remembers the 12 hour format after you reboot... which means that bright clock on the outside stays in the 12 hour format for good!
The Nav Bar disappearing after reboot is fixed as well. I'm using this unit in Nova Launcher as a 'basic' computer for a young friend. And so these are sort of 'tablet' issues more than TV Box issues.
Hi All,
Do you know how to force selinux policy to permissive one?

Howdy,
Is it possible to change the output resolution? The display I am trying to use only supports 1680x1050.
Try secondscreen.
https://joyofandroid.com/change-screen-resolution/
The adb directions on this site worked for changing the tablet resolution without root. But it still was unable to connect to the monitor.
adb shell
wm size 1050x1680
I gave SecondScreen a try and it does work to change the resolution and dpi on the device, but does not seem to affect the output resolution. Monitor output reflects what is on the tablet screen, but seems to be receiving the same resolution. (i.e. status bar width changes, but it is still in the same frame) I observed that using a different monitor from the one I would like to use.
Here are just some more details about my setup:
-Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (obviously) but no different results from my Google Pixel sailfish (EDIT: apparently the Pixel doesn't have HDMI output anyways. I had never tried to use it before)
-The display I would like to use is an old 20" Apple Cinema Display, the aluminum one that matches a PowerMac G5
-Display resolution is 1680x1050
-The display takes DVI-D, so I got a little USB-C hub off amazon that has DVI out, USB-A, and a USB-C port for charging.
-I had thought the cheap hub was why it wasn't working, but I hooked it up to an old Samsung Monitor with DVI (I think optimal resolution for it is 1440x900 or something like that) and it worked.
