Convert your TV into an Android tablet

Today,I came across an exciting issue that converts your old TV into an Android Tablet.The Heading itself looks enormous.
You Should not have to touch any hardware.It's really very EASY.
Let go it through:-

Convert your TV into an Android tablet

There are a lot of options that convert your TV into an Android device without the need to change anything inside the TV. Here are the options available in India.

We have had a wave of low cost tablet PCs and Android smartphones, now it seems that the time for micro PCs based on Android is coming up. These devices use a TV screen or computer monitor as display. The pricing currently starts at $48 (Rs 2,500) but unfortunately the prices in India are still very high.

We hope that Indian brands will soon bring these mini PCs to India at an affordable price, just the way they did with smartphones and tablets. In the meanwhile you can have a look at some of the devices that you can get shipped through eBay (apart from the three devices sold in India officially). You can also ask your friends abroad to help you get these.

Razor Bee (Rs 2,999)
The Razor Bee smartTV upgrader is a box shaped device that is based on Android 2.2, and comes with an ARM Cortex A8 processor and 256 MB RAM. This product is being sold by a Hyderabad based manufacturer.
It comes with a touchpad based remote, allows web browsing, Youtube video playback, quick and TV-friendly search, and plays media from USB or SD cards.
Convert your TV into an Android tablet
It comes with DLNA player that allows DLNA enabled mobile phones, tablets or PCs to push music, photo and videos to the TV.
On the down side the box doesn't have WiFi connectivity, though you can attach a WiFi router. It comes with two USB ports that can be used to attach a webcam, keyboard etc. However, it doesn't support 3G dongles. The connectivity is through an RJ45 jack for internet. It also has a 3.5 mm jack for a mic and headphone.
The box is priced at Rs 2,999 and some of the sites are offering basic mobile phones free from Micromax and Olive. Only three months warranty is offered for this box.
Google TV Cloud Stick (Rs 5,045)
This is a very neat pen drive shaped device that you can plug into the TV's HDMI port (in case your TV doesn't have an HDMI port, this is not for you); and here you go, your TV starts running Android 4.0 with full access to Google Play store. You can even stream video from your PC over WiFi.
The dongle gets 4 GB internal storage. Unfortunately there is no external storage option. For attaching a keyboard or mouse you have a full USB port. There is no battery in the device and therefore you will have to keep the charger attached all the time, but then that's alright since it's not a mobile device anyway.
Hacker's Act.
Convert your TV into an Android tablet
This cloud stick supports full HD playback and almost all the popular file types. It also supports cloud storage like Dropbox and streaming of media.
In terms of hardware you get a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and 4 GB memory. There is no keyboard or mouse in the box. Though it is a very useful device, unfortunately it is costly due to it being imported by the seller. Otherwise, it is a $48 (Rs 2,500) device only.
Portronics Limebox smart (Rs 6,999)
This smartTv box comes with full one year warranty and is based on Android 2.3. It has a 1.2 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB internal memory and up to 32 GB through SD card. You also get WiFi support and an RJ45 jack for internet connectivity.
In terms of ports you get two USB, 1 HDMI, and three audio out jacks (you can therefore connect 5.1 speaker systems). You can also attach a USB pen drive, or hard disk for storage.
Convert your TV into an Android tablet
Because it's meant to be used with your TV or any other large monitor, the UI has been greatly modified from the stock Android interface. There's no lock screen, menu screen, multiple home screens or any of that - just one simple screen with folders. There's media, internet TV, browser, game, apps and settings on the front screen with each of them housing their respective widgets.
Limebox comes in white and lime colour combinations and is a good looking piece of hardware. It is a good buy considering that it comes with full warranty. However, we think it is overpriced at Rs 7,000, given that similarly specced tablets are priced at the same level and additionally get battery and a screen, both of which are among the costliest components of the tablet. But if you really want it to be attached to the TV all the time, it is better than a laptop attached using an HDMI cable provided that you get a user interface designed for TVs, and also many ports which are not there in any tablet (like the RJ45 port which allows you to connect wired broadband).
Internet TV Box (Rs 4,490)
This internet TV box being sold on eBay comes with a 1.2 GHz processor coupled with 3D GPU and 512 MB DDRIII RAM. It is based on Android 2.3.
You get 4 GB internal storage, WiFi support, infrared remote (though you will need a keyboard for typing,) and also Bluetooth (which can be used for a wireless keyboard and mouse).
Convert your TV into an Android tablet
In terms of connection you get a USB port (which you can use for storage), an SD card slot, and stereo audio output jacks.
The box supports all major audio and video file types, and also Adobe Flash. The internet TV box comes with 1 year seller warranty and, at Rs 4,490, is the cheapest after Razor Bee.
Amkette EvoTV (Rs 9,999)
This is the costliest smart TV box here and is made by Amkette, which was market leader of floppy drives (now floppy drives don't exist). The box is based on a modified version of Android 2.3 OS and comes with an Arm Cortex A9 processor coupled with Mali 400 GPU
Convert your TV into an Android tablet
It supports a USB keyboard, mouse, webcam and 3G dongle, and comes with an Evo Touch (wireless) remote, which works in the range of 10 meters and doubles up as a mouse so that moving the remote moves the cursor. There is also an Evo Touch function for on-screen control that offers motion sensors for games. The device has an inbuilt microphone for video conferencing and voice commands, and the remote works using universal remote functions for standard TV controls. There is also a 700 mAh battery for power backup.
Convert your TV into an Android tablet
In terms of features the box is great but then Rs 9,999 doesn't really justify the purpose that it serves. The box comes with a 1 year warranty.

Quick Way to Add Custom Icons to Teamcenter Business Objects


Summary:
I was planning on posting set of instructions on “how to set up eclipse to create plug-ins” then “how to create a plug-in to add custom icon to business object” then “how to deploy that plug-in via OTW” thne I was going to show how to do it the quick and easy way.  While I still am planning on providing this set of instructions, today I will show the “quick and dirty” way.  You may want to do it the quick and easy way first in a test/development environment anyway.   This way may not be the ideal way for production where you have to push this out to many users.  So this quick and dirty way should only be used to where you only have just a few deployments and just want to test things out and see how every thing looks before going through the hassle of creating a plug-in and deploying to the masses.  Although once you have the plug-in created and set up making changes or adding icons is a cinch.
Overview:
  1. Create Business object (If not OOTB)
  2. Create custom icon
  3. Create image directory and put in custom icon
  4. Create customer.properties files
Details:
Create Business object - I am not going to go through this here and I will be just creating a custom icon for the OOTB Item.
Create custom icon - I am not going through these steps either.  I will assume you can come up with your own icon just be sure it is a .png or .jpg format.
Create image directory and put in custom icon -  Create a folder called images in $TCInstall\portal\plugins\configuration_2007.1.0\ then copy any icons on this folder.
explorer_configuration
Create customer.properties files - Create a cutomer.properties text file and put this into $TCInstall\portal\plugins\configuration_2007.1.0\.  See below for an example.

Workflow Template Filter


There are times when you may want to control who can kick off certain workflows or you only want certain workflows from being kicked of on certain objects.   In my case we only wanted the revision of a certain Item to be processed in a workflow we kept having users accidently kick of a workflow on the master item.  We also only want certain groups to kick off certain workflows.  The solution to both these issues is with “Template filters”.  In fact if you want to one you must do the other.  Once you turn this on you must configure who kicks off what workflows and what object the workflows can use.
In Workflow Designer got Edit > Template Filter which opens up the “Process Template Filter Dialog”.  Once the dialog is open select which group you want to allow to kick of a workflow then the Object type and then what workflows this group and Object are allowed to process.
EditTemplateFilter
processTemplateFilter

By default Teamcenter will allow any object to be submitted to any workflow by anyone.  Once you have the Template filters set up, you need to set the CR_allow_alternate_procedures preference.  By default this is set to all for the entire site.  You will want to set this to a value of none.
If you set the site preference to none, it will apply to all users in every group.  If you wish certain groups to use template filters, and certain groups not, you have to set different Group preferences.  Do this by creating a new preference from Edit > Options > Index > New of CR_allow_alternate_procedures (scope of group).  In order to create a group preference, you must be a Group Administrator (setting for each user in the Organization application) and logged into that specific group.
Once all this is done the user will only see the workflows he is allowed to process.
