I am on a quest for the perfect treadmill computing platform (so I'm not sitting on my arse ALL day), so I can stay connected and work while I exercise. Currently I use the HTC Advantage, bluetooth keyboard, external display optional.
This would be even better with an "air" mouse- like the gyrate (http://archive.gamespy.com/hardware/march03/pv2/index3.shtml) or new logitech (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,enhttp://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,en).
Anyone know if either of these, something similar, or anything else non-surface-dependent (trackball?) can run on Windows Mobile?
thanks in advance.

Since I'm a consultant specialized in custom sulution, I would recomend you looking into the iGo Stowaway BT Mouse (http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=147202)...
whitch you could "easely" make into a trackball by turning it upside down and attach a rubberball.. or something.
=)
What a project! Have you got any photos?
what type of pointing device is irelevant tackball, mouse ........
the pda only see the driver it's transparent to it what is feeding the driver with directions

Hum? I'm sorry, didn't quite got what you meant by that? - I've tried to connect other bluetooth mouses with the ppc-driver without success..
@foaf: I don't know if you were talking about me, but I've never done this myself (yet anyway).. the thought about a upsidedown optical mouse firrst surficed when a client wanted something simular to the "virtusphere" ( http://www.virtusphere.com/ ) for an exhibit.. but the client dropped before I had a chance to try my idea...

This is also great
I only use it via USB whilst in cradle.....
Don't think BT is possible
mymobiler even works under linux with wine. i can connect to the device via wlan or activesync/usb connection. nice tool!

phwoaaarrrr!!!! just what i need (enterprise version)
One of my favorite tools, at work at least so i dont keep my phone in hand to play around.
Ive been using My Mobiler for a few years now, its a great app that allows you to control ya phone when its charging in my work desk draw, it does screen shots and supports landscape mode as well ..
I have been using MyMobiler for a while now, and it's very good! No problems whatsoever, and supports skins, so you can actually have a "real" Touch HD show up on your computer screen.
I use it mostly on work to SMS and navigate the phone.
You can use your PC mouse and keyboard for controlling your phone when this is connected, so it makes typing much faster!
Only small issue is that the skins don't work in Landscape mode very well. But it's a minor problem. Apart from that, everything works as advertised.
I have also been checking out EveryWAN, and while it seems like a powerfull software, I don't like the fact it's so big screen-wise. My mobiler is a small window I can put in the corner of my screen and it will not take up much space.

One of the appeals for EveryWan to me is the fact that it is a full screen application ......feels more like a complete application solution rather than just a small window. I also like the full tool kit including reg edit, install and task manager. The video creator is good too.
I try this app befor a long time and she work cool
I have searched this forum (Blackstone section only) but think that this question does not exists. I wonder if there is a connection way (or via any find of software) to share GPS information from my Blackstone for my notebook via cable? Does anybody know or using it? This will be very exciting for me. Thank you
Works for me with Memory map.

Yes there is, and I use it ocassionally. Its good to have the option! Here is how:
What you need:
1. IGO8 for PC.
2. "GPS Gate" or any similar software to create a "virtual serial port (VSP)" on your HD to which you will connect the PC (really simple, only sounds complicated).
What you do:
1. Install GPS Gate on your mobile and set it up for either Bluetooth or ActiveSync (gives you the option of cable or bluetooth over ActiveSync). MAKE NOTE of the port# you chose for the virtual port you made.
2. Fire up your IGO8 on your PC, go to settings/GPS and select the port which you created on your mobile.
3. Enjoy
The attached image, below, shows how IGO8 looks on my PC using my Diamond as a bluetooth GPS device.
Regards...
Thank you, shirreer and gadgetuk437 for sharing your experiences. I will try it out this week. Great that my PC can share this information with the phone.

Does this mean something?
maybe it will give you guys some ideas...
I guess there is a way to do this, but maybe need change some codes...
In the PSfreedom wiki I see a lot of devices compatibles yet, including Nokia, Palm and HTC phones.
We need a guy with the knowledge to make this port for the Kaiser, and here is the most probable place to find him!
Port kernel psfreedom on HTC Kaiser
Hello;
I also have a Kaiser with the Kaiser rom CyanogenMod 6 [RLS5.2] and kernel-kaisimg panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-02-09-10_16.nbh.
But when I try to load the module with "insmod psfreedom.ko su", you get an error "insmod: can not insert 'psfredom.ko': invalid module format".
I wonder if someone could not compile a kernel with the module in order to load the module to the application.
a developer want to try?
How much of the source is device specific?
Very little is device specific, you basically need to implement two very small functions, the problem is getting these two functions to work!
[edit] How hard is it to port it to a new device ?
The device specific code is separated from the core so it’s quite easy, there are mainly two functions to write, one to get and one to set the USB address.. two other functions that only return some static result depending on the configuration of the controller (the name of the endpoints, and whether the controller supports high speed or full speed mode). The real problem is that some controllers can be tricky and may not work as you would expect...
Read the README file provided with PSFreedom, and check the psfreedom_machine.c file for specifics on what to implement.
[edit] How can I port it to a new device ?
First, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’, you can use the ControllerList to help you, if it doesn't, then extend it!
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL and HIGH speeds are both unavailable.
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it… If the controller you are porting to doesn't have an endpoint matching the endpoint description requested, then you are allowed to return a different endpoint as long as you properly modify the endpoint description to set the bEndpointAddress to the correct address address of the new endpoint (but you still have to respect the direction of the endpoint of course!)

://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ
I spent some time working on this. I am sure it is possible.
I think there are two things that would have to happen.
1. A custom kernel. - I know there are a few things that must be disabled in the kernel. ADB USB Functionality, USB Mass Storage Functionality, Tethering, and on some devices WiFI. (I forget where I read that these must be disabled, but I did read it)
2. Changes to the code.
I am no expert at this, I think I am proficient at doing SOME things. I created a zImage last night. I know I am missing something tried to create a custom NBH and put it on my kaiser no go.
So, think I'll be spending more time on this. Anyone had any luck working on this at all?
UPDATE:
I did some pocking around, this is what I found in msm72k_udc.c for the closest thing to SET_ADDRESS (It was USB_REQ_SET_ADDRESS)
Code:
writel((ctl.wValue << 25) | (1 << 24), USB_DEVICEADDR);
I will be honest unsure if this is the driver for the controller due to the fact that on the device the usb driver is msm_hsusb. However, I tend to be wrong more than I am right so....
This phone is capable of it i'm sure. I just tried every other psfreedom releases and experienced different behaviours with each one of them. Though i know that zImage needs to be modified. I'm no programmer so i can't really help anyone with this.
So let's hope someone work something out.
OK I think It is not the msm72k but the msm_hsusb, when you look at the device it shows that in the usb driver folder.
Based on the psfreedom site is "in progress". Hopefully someone smarter than I is working it bc dont think Ill get far.
i'm looking for a tytn2 port too! Thanks for all of you that's working for it.
sugestion...maybe put this thread as an official for psfreedom kaiser info?
thanks!
diamond port finished http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Raphael
this version can help for kaiser porting?
Yep as far as i know this is a good start...
Hi guys just passing by to show you something...
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Supported_Devices
This android port works with kaiser as you can see in the compatibility table.
Is there anyone who's able to modify zImage for us?
I think we're getting close. The only problem so far is the usb driver.
Come on guys you can do it!

but there are someone that is working on the porting?
sorry for my bad english
There is someone working on the msm_hsusb usb driver yes.
Let's wait and see
I think the usb on kaiser working.. mean someone tell me it work on linux.. but in WXP can it fork too I think.. someone can use usb on W7 x64. But I can't get it work there...
Can anyone tel me how get it fully work on W7 x64? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Kaiser Ion using XDA App
come on guys, u can do it!!!!!
Is still on development?, or nobody will continue?, its a shame, kaiser is very usefull on android Roms, maybe is not that easy to port.
By te way, is a port for HERO on the wiki, and kaiser runs several roms from Hero smartphone, is this useful?
http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/Device_compatibility_list
Regards.
msm_hsusb is just an other driver for the MSM72K controller, which is used in older kernels.

Is there Micro HDMI out? Yes
Is there GPS? No
Does the MicroSD work? Yes, up to 64GB.
Can I connect an external hard drive using the OTG cable? Yes, I use it regularly to transfer video files from my WD 2TB Passport.
What is the available space on Windows/Android? 7GB Free on Windows, 4GB free on Android.
I can't find the shortcut in Windows to switch back to Android! Go to C:\Program Files\Insyde and create a shortcut of the EXE file
My system time keeps changing with I switch between Windows/Android?

Chuwi Vi8 Questions?
Thank you very muchfor the great review zijin_cheng
I have some questions about this great tablet, i would really appreciated if you can answer
what is the available free space in Windows and Android partitions?
Is it possible to remove Android partition and extending Windows partition?
Is there any recovery partition, if yes, how much space is allocated by recovery?
Is it possible to install windows 10 to this tablet?
Is it possible to use WIMBOOT method for more free space?

No problem!
- It started with about 7GB free on Windows, and 4GB free on Android. 13GB total is allocated to the C:\ drive on Windows, and 7GB total for the Android partition.
- At the moment no, but I'm quite sure some resourceful XDAer will figure out a way.
- Yes, its 7GB (5.43GB + 1GB)
- Yes, but I believe that it will be more difficult due to the dual boot nature of this tablet
- I'm not sure, I haven't tried. However, I followed this guide to get more free space (as I also have the Asus T100)
Thank you very much
Nice cross-post from RFD, and great review!!
The Chuwi (and most other tablets like this) use WIMBOOT, where the recovery partition *is* the OS drive, and and changes and patches get saved to the C: to preserve the installation for recovery when needed.
There have been multiple successful attempts to install Windows 10, you need an OTG adapter so you can use a USB stick and a mouse/keyboard. General consensus is it works well, but probably best to wait for a later or full release version. A Google search will find you instructions though if you're looking to
do it immediately.
As for partition removal, I haven't really seen it discussed, but I'm sure there's a utility to nuke the unwanted partitions. Though you could just order the single OS version that only comes with Windows, but that model is missing the microHDMI.
Hello everybody,
just bought this tablet with dual boot. So in case if I want to reinstall the installed windows 8.1, how can I do it? After the reinstall, will the android system still be there?
Thanks
from singleboot to dualboot?
Hi! I also have this amazingly cheap tablet but I ordered it when the dualboot was not in stock.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to actually make my windows 8.1 table into a dualboot with android.
I have downloaded android x86 and installed it on a partition but I just cant find out how to actually make the UEFI-bios boot from it. Also since I wasnt unable to boot from usb (no matter what settings I changed in the bios) I couldn't install the android system straight off the bootable usb so i installed it on another system and copied the contents to the new partition. I imagine that it wont work even if I actually succeed to make it boot from another partition.
Has anyone tried to install android as a second OS in this tablet? Please tell me how :S
Best regards
Matthew
The HDMI out on this unit, is it strictly mirror, or does it have the ability to show two separate Desktop?

Hey man, I'm believe so, but you have to make sure you choose the correct option when you go into the "factory reset" portion of the tablet itself.

Not sure how that could be done, sorry. Maybe you could try installing Insyde's dual boot switching software, they could have more info on how to do it.

So far all the videos of this tablet have only shown mirroring, no extended desktops, but I'm sure it can be done, if not with Windows maybe another piece of software.
Bluetooth keyboard on Chuwi Vi8
Hi guys, This a pretty silly questions, I wonder if anybody with this tablet has bought it whit the Chinese Bluetooth keyboard, and knows whether there is any way to use ESC and function buttons that appear in blue, on the upper keys. Using Fn+ any of these keys would do whatever but ESC or F1, F2, F3 etc. For instance, key 0... Fn+0 = Volume down, but not F10.
I have searched about this on the internet but haven't got any info.
Does anybody have the same issue? It'pretty frustrating when using excel on windows 8.1. I. I have the dual boot version whatsoever.
Cheers
Very good tablet, but last week I bought a Onda V919 3G Air, otherwise, I will buy this tablet.

Hey man I haven't bought the bluetooth keyboard with the Chuwi, but I've had problems with bluetooth keyboards in general as only basic keys work such as letters, shift, not even ctrl sometimes. Did the keyboard come with any software? Try to google the brand and see if there are any drivers.
And you're using excel on your Chuwi? Props! That's difficult!

Thanks for the response!
Well, it doesn`t have a brand serial number or anything, I guess it is just generic hardware, it works very well, but anyways, maybe the ESC and Function buttons are fake.
In that case, there might be an app to reassign keys, I will check that.
And yes, using excel with chuwi, just to input lab data on the go, and analyse it with some charts, not a big deal.
I have this tablet and this is sick man its incredible that I have boot os on just one table this tablet would be perfect ithey would be with 64gb internal storage that of couse next gen will it have it . I really recommend this tablet hope some xda programer member open a tread and make custom rms and some root stuff hehehe the best 2015 130 dollar gadget XD
Decent enough for the price I paid.
Two gripes I do have, even so.
1) Screen expansion seems broken on Windows, if I turn it on, the tablet screen goes dark. Anyone managed to get both screens working at the same time?
2) It seems like USB OTG with simultaneous charging does not work - any chance to fix that?

I think the Chuwi Vi8 only supports screen mirroring, you'll need to find another piece of software
It's the USB OTG cable itself, you need one that supports both, something like this:
