Anyone know how to stream radio to the Rhodium from a website, or if it's possible? I'm trying to get www.newstalkradio.com, with Warren Ballentine from 10-1, to play on my device, but not sure how to link to that stream. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, streaming audio to the TP2 is certainly possible, through a number of ways, through various providers....the trick is finding which (if any) of them carry the channel/stream/program you want. I went looking on the site you mentioned to try to see what format and from what source his broadcast is available in, but I didn't find him listed anywhere...do you know where his broadcast originates from?
One of the services I use to bring streaming content to my TP2 is called "Kinoma Play" (or the free version I use, "Kinoma FreePlay"), which brings together a large number of different streaming audio sources...shoutcast, podcasts, and many others including NPR and other radio stations from around the US and the rest of the world.
There's other services available as well...the best thing to do would be to determine which method the audio you want is available by, and then we can know which options are available for getting that on to your phone.
I think streaming media is one of the best uses of this wonderful piece of hardware, I take advantage of that capability almost every single day

Thanks for the help. He's on RadioOne, in several different markets across the country. Atlanta, Chattonooga, Milwaukee, and other places. What method do I need to be looking for? i think I have the streaming URL, would that help?

Well if you have the streaming URL you can try opening that directly in IE or Opera, but the odds of that working aren't great. I'm looking now to see if I can find what methods he's available by so you can stream him to your phone.
Are you talking about the BBC's radio one? I'm pretty sure the media player I mentioned (Kinoma) can get BBC R1 streams, I'm looking now.

cant know specifically in reference to the android/desire software
but almost certainly its because some of your music has tags that the software doesn't support
get a program like mp3tag and check why type of tags (like ID3, etc) are on the ones that work, and the ones that dont
i bet they're different
agreed. didn't ID3 v.1 only have a certain number of predefined genres, whereas v.2 and later would let you put anything you want?
I've also reported the same issue previously. I have a lot of music tagged as "Spanish", which it doesn't seem to recognise.
It seems that there is a pre-determined list of genres and if your tag isn't one of those then it comes up as "unrecognised".
This is a major hassle for me as I have an extensive collection with various tags and they all get put into the 1 (large) "unrecognised" list on the phone.

I have few apps that are restricted to work on wifi only.
Since 4G is unlimited and same fast as DSL (in my case) I'm looking for a solution to go around wifi only restriction.
Couldn't find any app that would do that.
Thanks for your help
x2......yea my friends who own that other phone by the rotten apple always throwing that app they have that tricks the phone into thinking its on wifi so they can do facetime as they call it
I have been trying to find the answer to this question myself. This is probably the only thing I have not seen on the android side that iphone was all over. There must be a solution to running WiFi only apps via 3G/4G.
What apps only work on WiFi? I've never seen one yet. (not that they don't exist, just curious) You may want to talk to the developers, seeing as any app is allowed to use 3G/4G by default.
Nova is what I was referring to. It's a gameloft title. The game is set up to allow for multiplayer marches via WiFi. But with 3g unrestrictor on the iPhone you could play via 3g. It was pretty sweet to drop some head shots while sitting in lax or dulles how do suggest I propose this functionality to the developers?

Evidently Grooveshark vip has this problem with hq songs as well. I knew I shouldn't have paid $30 for an app. I miss my 3g Unrestrictor.

The $30 is actually dirt cheap. It's a music streaming app with a library of about 22 million songs. The $30 is for an annual membership.
By comparison that's 3 months (or 2 for multiple devices) worth of Rhapsody which has 10 million songs. Although I have used Rhapsody and there are pros and cons to each. Rhapsody has more organized search results, but Grooveshark allows you to search other users playlists, which is where I am finding a lot of new great music.
Overall the amount of music you can find and the overall interface on Grooveshark is better. But I'm learning now that it's quite buggy in this latest 2.08 revision. I'm hoping for a quick move to 2.09 and hoping they add scrobbling to last.fm like their desktop/laptop version does.
Overall though it's awesome to have so much music on demand at all times.
^^ so you paid $30 for a membership to an app because the library of songs is bigger? so how long would it take you to listen to 22 million songs as opposed to 10 million?

I loved the band "The Grays". Grooveshark had it, Rhapsody did not. I've noticed that for many other bands/acts and radio station releases too. 22 million means they're more likely to have what you want to hear.

Good for you. My cable is flakey and for some reason dyndns keeps dropping out on my NAS. Believe me when I say I tried to go a similar route. But I don't want to leave my computer always on (thus the NAS) and I'm lazy and my music collection is a MESS! What's an id3 tag anyway. But really I like the radio function. Its like having Pandora rolled into it. And I love searching through other people's music collection. It's like the old school days of going to Top 10 Records, except everything is paid for already! I like.

To get back on topic, is there really no CDMA 3G workaround to fool Sprint and Grooveshark (or the EVO itself) into thinking you are on wifi when you are only using 3g?
This is an age old problem that bad programmers always tend to implement. If a feature, method, resources may not exist one should check for what may be missing without assumption. In this case they have assumed that anything but wifi has enough bandwidth (resource) when it could obviously be incorrect.

Most Gameloft games, (and HD ones especially) can only be bought straight through Gameloft's site. Its not too bad. Nova is $5 for the HD version (read: the kind that runs on the Evo). You could have it billed through Sprint if you look for their wap-like apk file. Definitely look up Let's Golf 3d. Its free for us Evo users . That's how I got their gateway apk, which takes you to the mobile store and you can buy games on your Sprint bill.
Nova is a fun game, but its usually buggy over wifi, so I never thought to try it on anything slower. Now that you mention it, all the Gameloft games require wifi, huh? I hate those kinds of restrictions. I wish you all luck in finding a 3G unrestrictor.
Any luck?
I'm freakin dying to play Modern Combat 4 online with 4G on my Galaxy S3!! Has anybody figured this mod out yet? I'm willing to rewrite and modify some code for this one you guys! And also, if iphones can run android, why can't Androids run iOS???? Is I possible?
iPhones can't run android....the system itself it different
Maybe iPhones can run android on an emulator, but that's completely different. Android on iOS is like trying to run a desktop EXE on your Android. Two completely different architectures.

Widows desktop EXE IS possible on Android!
Android is a very open source OS and can be modified create custom ROMS and install other Operating systems.
Such as: Windows Mobile, Windows RT, Windows XP, Full Ubuntu OS, and Ubuntu Mobile (coming soon)
Here is a post on an HTC HD2 running on Windows RT:

And also, here is a video on some Chinese guy running iOS on an old HTC Android Phone:

But finally, here is a link to a page that some guys are making this project called iEmu and are cooking up an emulator boot loader that will boot iOS on different devices.
http://m.geek.com/geekdotcom/#!/ent...un-ios-on-android-or,4e668d9bd298d13d03000004
So IT IS yet to be possible (if the iEmu project succeeds) to run (or emulate) iOS on an Android devices sir. But back to question A:
Is Modern Combat 4 online over 4G possible yet?????
Hello all,
In light of the recent congressional events regarding ("shhhh") downloaded music, I am now in the wanting to play it safe mode. At my age I have more too loose.
What I'm looking for is the best home to phone streaming app that does not also utilize web based streaming like Audiogalaxy and Subsonic. I am now using both of these but would like to see if there are any alternatives which...shall we say...'are more private'. Simply an app that does not require any website registration but only needs ones own IP to access music.
I would also welcome discussion on the legalities of steaming already downloaded music (home to phone).
Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.
Edit: Now trying Gmote. Can anyone recommend a better one?
Just use Grooveshark.
if you have a daap server at home, say itunes or WDLXTV firmware, there is a simple daap client in the market that works well

Thanks for the reply. After trying Gmote for a couple of days I've decided to ditch it. It tends to start/stop too much on a 3g network, and the UI is horrid. The daap server sounds interesting. If you could recommend one that will work on either XP or W7 I'll try that...assuming there is such an animal.
Is there any app to stream live radios station ?
I move from WM to Android, and I would like to know if there is any app to stream live radio station Wm normally use WMP, but android doesn't support Wmp
please if some one know something about it point me to the right direction.
there are ways to use VLC to do it.
Have you tried Homepipe?

Not yet, have looked that one over a bit. Gmote lags too much on 3g so I'll try Homepipe next. Oh yea, and my Bucs almost came back on your Ravens last Sunday. If only Freeman had started his "famous" quick offense earlier.
@dsuare021979 For music streaming try:
Pandora (unlimited access is 36/year but has the best quality sound IMO.
A Online Radio (the "A" is part of the app name)
iheartradio
Last.fm
Thank you for the help, but none of them work with the radio station I normally stream
MEGA 97.9 NY. I hope we get an app like wmp soon.

Checked into Homepipe a bit more closely and it's another type that requires a website registration, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Gmote is what I'm looking for, but it's too buggy for me. Guess I'll keep looking but use Audiogalaxy in the meantime. I like Subsonic but on the EVO it has a tendency to repeat the first song all the time. Anyway, thanks for the input.
Just a question to see if you know something that I don't... if you go through and Retag all of your mp3s there should be no real way to see where they came from... ripped from your own cds or otherwise.... at least that's my opinion. But maybe you know something that I don't?

My only experience with re-tagging is to get the files to look right in Audiogalaxy. I collect alot of "Greatest Hits" albums and most of the tracks each have their own album tag. I wish I knew the answer to your question for my own benefit. Anyone else?

Hello there awesome XDA guys!
I'm currently speculating about the possibility of creating a virtual Media Link HD.
This would include, reverse engineering of the protocols used as well as acting exactly like the original device, except for the fact that it is not a real device.
I was hoping that this software could run on the Raspberry Pi and enable screen mirroring as well as media content streaming.
This will provide a very cheap, if not free, alternative to the very expensive Media Link HD.
This, of course, should work with, but are not limited to, the HTC One X,
So is anyone up for it?
I would be glad to help out with some programming wherever possible.
Thanks!
Interesting! I actually read somewhere that it uses regular wifi, and just sits on your network, waiting for for a upnp/dnla request. upnp is not that hard to implement. I ordered a raspi and it should arrive somewhere between now and 10 weeks. If you would be able to implement something like this into the XBMC media center software you would have a very nice addition to your mediacenter.
Edit: partially this is already possible. You can't use the swipe gesture (but that is just a phone-software-side thing) and you can only stream media, no screen sharing, it is called uPnp/DLNA, you can use, for example, the iMediashare app to send media to any dnla compatible device (XBMC, some new TV's, windows media player?). Screensharing however is probably not yet possible and I wonder how HTC solves that problem, maybe they just encode your audio/video output into a movie file and stream that over dnla. We would need someone with a mediashare HD and Wireshark to figure that out.
Wifi Analyzer saw the HTC Media Link HD on channel 1, I didn't try it multiple times but will do, after I reset it a few times.... But don't think it automatically searches for the best channel that is free.... I can see another 2 networks from nearby homes on the same channel.
I don't have Wireshark though, not heard of it before either.....

Go install WireShark and you will see for yourself.
Obviously we need to use Shark For Root on Android, so the phone must have root.

Aren't there some android roms out for the rasp? Could just install one of those perhaps.
I don't actually own a rasp at the moment, so forgive me if there's some obvious reason that this wouldn't work.

Since I haven't got a Media Link HD I can't really reverse engineer it. However as Toichat points out, you should be able to run a full blown Android installation on it. Hope it helps!
Hi guys, been a while since i posted on these forums so bare with me...
But lately as I'm soon going to be restoring a Z3 ive been looking into the headunits going around.
And truth be told i prefer the Chinese ones to the international branded ones like pioneer.
But i have a few questions so I hope this is the right forum.
My coding experience is limited but not non-existent. I've grabbed android studio and had a nice look around at it. Going to try come test projects on it to get the hang of it before I start any serious work.
My plan is to build a new homescreen launcher with a built in radio/music player. As I feel when looking at the android launcher they put on just doesnt sit right with the main function of this device... IE its a radio and music player...
So Im going to build a new front end with all the controls available to the driver in a safe easy to use way.
So now the questions
Are there any tips on building launchers for these units?
The USB DAB+ stick thats been mentioned many times here. How do you access the steams and communicate to change frequencies and such with it? (I realise thats likely an indeph question and is probably detailed in an SDK somewhere if you can point me to that SDK or detail that would be great)
The CD/DVD unit built into the headunits. how is the audio stream handled? Does it bypass android completely and go to the preamp in the unit? Or is there some sort of interface with android? Even to only provide software controls?
Also can the CD/DVD drive be used for data? I guess if it bypasses android thats a no
Now for the Units.
Theres many nice ones with decent facades, but im having trouble finding the right one. Joying seem good but being in the UK, where can i order it without being charged duty. Is there any UK/EU distributors?
Also im looking for ones with the higher res screen and 2gb ram... That seems very hard to find together along with a nice facade... There are ones that have touch sensitive controls and no CD/DVD drive, but that defeats the purpose and tbh make the unit less safe to use. This is for a car remember...
So any tips?
Sorry if this is a bit rambling... Its been a while
Either no one knows or my questions too disjointed....
Lets try to simplify it.
1) Are there any tips of guides to building your own launcher?
2) Is there any kind of SDK for the realteck DAB+ stick, how do you read streams and manipulate frequency ect...?
3) How do the Units handle the DVD/CD drive, does it bypass android and go straight to the amp or is there some sort of interface with android?
4) Do the drives read data? Such as MP3 cds that android can pick up? (my assumption is no, im not sure android supports optical drives)
5) Are there any confirmed decent UK or EU distributors for the headunits we see from joying/ownice......?
Hope that helps
Not to discourage you but your plans about a new launcher might not be worth it as you can already replace the launcher in these units with any Android launcher. There's even some that are already geared towards driving.
If you want to go full-on custom you could use something like Lightning Launcher and pretty much customize every little thing.
For the music and radio controls there are some re-skinned widgets in the Software forum. Without source code I don't believe you are going to be able to go much further than this. I prefer Poweramp over the stock music player so I just use one of its widgets, would be nice to have something similar for the radio though (although internet-based radio apps are always an option).
The other questions I don't have answers for.
Thanks for getting back... Not discouraged. I probably will still have a go though ill look into the other ones available though
