DZ + ADK: ADK compatible Android hardware?

[Vadim Tkachenko]

Hello lurkers,

A question came in the mail: what Android devices are known to support ADK?

I'm in a difficult spot here - I happened to have bought Nexus S which
is by definition compatible with Google's obscure toys, but it's kinda
just a *little* bit expensive for just running a HVAC system.

So far, the following devices are the ones that are *known* to support ADK:

- Nexus S
- Galaxy Nexus
- Motorola XOOM

I would suspect that Nexus 7 will also support ADK, and it seems to be
the best candidate at $200 (XOOM is still sold for $400+, which is
kinda silly).

Also, I've seen brief mentions that there are cheap Chinese made
tablets running Cyanogen that do support ADK. Anyone here knows
anything solid, or is willing to investigate?

Looks like it is possible (but awkward to get adk running on HTC desire with cyanogenmod. Cannot confirm as I don't have the hardware at present

As has been said later, CM7 supports the ADK.

I'm planning on using a ZTE Blade (which has good CM7 support) and are
available second-hand here for around UKP 30 ($50).

Hmm, spoke too soon - actually the ZTE blade kernel on my phone (CM7 /
Android 2.3.7) doesn't seem to have CONFIG_USB_ANDROID_ACCESSORY present
in /proc/config.gz ...

It's possible that the CM9 (Android 4.0.4) builds do, but I haven't
tried them yet.

As I have a spare ZTE blade to play with DZ on I plan to get it working
myself.

What about these new Android "computers" that don't have screens? This seems ideal for the cost. Of course, you'd have to do everything via Remote after the initial config, but it would save you from buying a tablet. These things are REALLY getting cheap.

Shh! Don't tell anyone!

I haven't tried anything like that yet, but see no reason for that
*not* to work, provided two things:

1. Needs to be able to run Ice Cream Sandwich or above;
2. Needs to be compatible with ADK 1.0.
