View from laptop .. yep.. On the exact same source as the "desktop" MRL !  1 source to control them all !

Next is getting an Android service which is capable of getting data from every sensor a phone might have, and interfacing with every system level resource (such as voice) that a Android smartphone might have ..

BOOYA!

Yeah .. we'll build the apk as one of the release files  - and put it on Google Play too (when its more stable)

Right now it doesn't do much, but it would help if we brainstormed and thought of what things we want from it.

When you first install MRL without any dependencies - that is what currently works (maybe) :D

If we start making a GUI - if we make it html5 then desktop or android can use it - promotes consistency at the least ..  of course you know the "regular" GUI service will never run on Android.

I think the first thing I wanted to look at is getting a bunch of sensor data streaming from the phone to the desktop..  but if you have ideas let me know

What's the minimum Android OS that you need to run MRL?  I forget the sdk->OS mapping but I have 2.2(froyo), 2.3(gingerbread) and 4.2(jelly bean) ready and willing to serve the collective.  I'm sure you and Ale have 4.4(kit kat) on your phones.  My wife's phone is stuck on 4.0 (ice cream sandwich) but I don't think she'll let me use it until she upgrades phones.

OS/SDK reference

Manifest is currently targeting 21 (that's just because default they want you to use the latest) -  but minimum is 9 (at the moment) 2.3.2 Gingerbread

I've done previous work on Gengerbread SDK level - and it seemed to have alot of good stuff (accelerometers / compass / gps / wifi networking / etc) - all was accessable through that version - but previous versions (8) Froyo - didn't have the same networking sdk

hmmm .. I have an older Android phone too running Android .. hmmm
