SDR driver for RTL2832U based USB dongles and Hack RF

SDR Driver - RTL2832U & HackRF Support

"SDR driver" is an Android application that acts as a driver for RTL2832U based USB dongles and HackRF devices, supporting network streaming of rtl_tcp. Released under GPL2+, it allows third-party apps to leverage Software Defined Radio functionalities. While it may not be directly useful on its own, it serves as the backbone for applications like SDR Touch, capable of supporting a variety of RTL-SDR dongles and HackRF devices for radio frequency exploration.

App summary

An Android port of rtl-sdr's rtl_tcp and libhackrf

This app is released under GPL2+ as a derivative work of rtl_tcp and libhackrf. The source code can be found at https://github.com/martinmarinov/rtl_tcp_andro-

This driver could be used by third party applications to implement Software Defined Radio (like SDR Touch)

Keep in mind that this application on its own may not be very useful as it is just a driver. It is able to stream rtl_tcp over the network.

Great app and required for most of apps using RTL SDR devices. Unfortunately is listed as not compatible with chromebooks with ARM processor. Found the apk on other sources built alsomfor ARM which I could install, but I need to put the device în developer mode. Would be great if can add also.comoatible build (arm) here in google play.

I use this in conjunction with SDRTouch on my phone and love it, I just wish they would bring the driver and SDRTouch to Chrome OS devices.

Pointless probly a hacker didn't and doesn't do wat I needed literally acquired to download within another app for the other Ave and it will not even function for the other app I'm so sick and tired of finding things that do that I wish someone at Google or at this app store would actually do their job and get rid of useless apps or that I could get their job and get paid to do absolutely nothing
