Evoscan on Andriod Nexus 7
I bought the new Google Nexus 7 Tablet and would like to use it in my car. Any idea if I can somehow root the tablet so i can install evoscan on it?

I was under the impression that there was already an evoscan for android in development or available. Check the Evoscan site or search for a thread.
I don't think you need to be rooted to install it (and if you are trying to install a windows version on it - it doesn't work like that). Either way, I think all of the nexus devices are developer devices and have the ability to install any android ROM including rooted ones.

I unlocked bootloader and rooted my nexus 7 last night. I am still trying to wrap my head around this stuff. Im comparing it to flashing the ecu to try and figure this out since they both use a ROM. The Nexus 7 is really awesome tablet.
This is what i found on the evoscan.com/home website.
EvoScan Android Home Control
Posted on May 19, 2012 by ahernh
Google has spent billions of dollars and 7 years writing 150 million lines of code for Android, and giving it away for free to phone manufacturers. Android makes over $10million per day for Google.
Yet Google still hasn't made Android API/SDK software that communicates with external devices. Oh well… Lucky for me the extra effort paid off, and I got it working… This page is just where I will be putting technical notes about Android, because it is a steep learning curve for me coming from a Microsoft .NET background J
Some screenshots of the EvoScan Home Control app…

Buy a spare Android phone and USB OTG Cable if you want to run your Home Control system on a small form factor.

1. Ensure your device has root access, and has a program called SuperUser.apk installed. This will allow programs to prompt you for extra security access when needed.
2. Download drivers for your Android device from your local community forum…
usbserial.ko
ftdi_sio.ko
To install the drivers use ModuleLoader.apk
3. To give applications access to use the USB port you will need to add this line to the file called /ueventd.rc
/dev/ttyUSB* 0666 root root
To edit the ueventd.rc file use ESExplorer.apk
4. Install EvoScan.apk and run EvoScan
Terminal Emulator using 'stty' to configure serial port
Some commands for testing the USB connection include:
echo blablabla > ttyUSB0
cat /dev/ttyUSB0
cat /dev/ttyUSB0 > test.csv
cat /proc/tty/drivers
Lsusb
lsusb –t
lsusb -d devID
ls /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ -ltrah
/sys/bus/usb/devices/
/dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1
/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Huawei_E367
pacman -S usb_modeswitch
dmesg | grep 'FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached'
stdbuf -i0 cut -d, -f5,16 /dev/ttyUSB0 > out.csv
