NEW: Use an Android tablet as dedicated GX Wi-Fi Display (beta)

Da bleib ich doch mal dran :grin::grin:
Hier bei mir hƤngt auch noch ein Samsung Tab 3 unter Android 4.4
ā€¦ Jetzt schƶpfe ich doch wieder Hoffnung ā€¦
Danke

Updated to new version on Amazon fire hd8, had to install firefox to manually download new app version - built in browser wouldnā€™t download app( web address for app taken from QR image) and works a treatšŸ‘

Then you havenā€™t done anything special, just started the Remote Console via the browser. ?
This article is about the complete replacement of the OS by the Victron interface ā€¦ In other words : the Pad is only ā€œRemote Consoleā€ ā€¦ Nothing else

Nothing special, just using newer version of app.
And NO it isnā€™t just remote consolešŸ™„

Here is the debug output from crashing app on android x86 (mi pad 2). App crashes instantly with ā€œUnfortunately gxDisplay has stoppedā€ message.

LineageOS 13, Android 6.0.1

Hi,

has anyone tried to end the Kiosk-Mode?
I used my Samsung M33 5G to install and test and would like to use the Phone now for normal purposes again.
Hard-reset does not workā€¦??

thanks,

Daniel

Check the manual to learn how to open the service menu, there is an option to factory reset the device.
If it does not work for you, google how to boot into recovery mode for your phone model.

ok, i needed to tap at the bottom left corner for 5 seconds, just found it.
Thank you very much.
Hardware reset with the power and volume button didnĀ“t workā€¦

Thank you, weā€™ll look into this and see how we can fix it.

Another crash after few days (Lenovo TB2)

Hello,

Samsung Galaxy Tab A with Android 7
I use to have also crashes at the beginning, but after controling all, I discover the cause (in my case) was the connetion (Wifi, Lan and Box) after some Box reset/tuning cables check and Venux connetion controlā€¦ 3 days without crashesā€¦

hi
ok on redmi pad se 8.7 :wink:

Hi all

juste tried to install the GXpanel app on my NSPanel Pro (currently used for Home Assistant app display).
As a reminder, the NS Panel Prod is a nice square touchscreen panel running android 8.1.

No problem sideloading the application (which is nice since the VRM app APK from 2.8.1 need at least Android 9) and launching it. However twoo issues with gxPanel:

  1. the application rotate screen by force in ā€œlandscapeā€ (by 90Ā°). Android setting are not in a position to rotate the application back to 0Ā° (only 90 and 270Ā° setting are effective, but both are in a way or another 90Ā° for NSpanel regular use)
  2. application enforces a kind of 16/9 display, which means there is a big empty area below the dashboard :frowning:

Do you think the application could be corrected to better fir with ā€œnon tablet type of formatā€ ? If yes, this would be really great ! :slight_smile:

Thanks
Matt

Is the Dropbox link kept up to date with the latest APK?

Iā€™d like to be able to run other apps on my tablet as well as this, rather than just having it in kiosk mode with one app.

Cheers

Josh

as far as I can tell, yes it is. However, the filename does not change.
After downloading and installing the apk, you can see the version in the control menu of the app and will notice, that it has been upgraded.

Thanks! :pray:t3:

I love the new gui on the tablet!
Great work. Only after two days I have a white screen.
All I can do is restart and then all is fine.

Kind regards
Jacco

Itā€™s android. Itā€™ll crash from time to time, nothing to do with it.

Am I the only one?

Hello,

After 1 week all good with a Galaxy Tab 9 Android 7.1.1 (No plan to upgrade android to upper version)

Crashes could happen with connection troubleā€¦ perhaps some energy saver system or other make your device to switch to blank screen.
