[Q] Nexus 10 as Multitouch touchpad - Nexus 10 Themes and Apps

I recently started coveting a Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650 @staples and was trying to find a way to do it with my nexus 10.
I stumbled upon the following app Appwhich looks to be exactly what I want to do with the added bonus of showing the windows 8 desktop, but the website is all in japanese and I cant figure out how to get it to work. I have tried some of the more standard programs but they lack the true multitouch experience and now that i've seen the screen capture I want it. Has anyone found a way to do this reliably?

OK I just tried the app and it works great. I just translated the page and found the download link. The actual software is in English.
Here is the 64 bit versions http://www.tnksoft.com/soft/phone/winmulti/touch_win7_64.zip
And the 32 bit http://www.tnksoft.com/soft/phone/winmulti/touch_win7_32.zip

I also tried that app and it doesn't work that great, its kinda laggy and slow, quality isn't realy good.
Splashtop or Unified Remote works better.

Yeah, after getting the app to work I was underwhelmed. Was looking for something more that I could use on my desk while looking at my monitor. Not while looking at the nexus.

I've been using the non-HD version on my Galaxy Nexus. Haven't tried this yet on the Nexus 10. It's not as great as a real multitouch trackpad, but the only important feature for me is two-finger scroll

[Q] Presentation using galaxy tab 10.1

Hi All,
Wonder if some of you uses galaxy tab 10.1 for business purpose as well, specifically presentation. I only know it is possible from the commercial, but unsure whether that fits to day to day scenario or not.
Could you share your experiences? Connections (cables needed), display setting, etc.?
Is the quick office (or polaris?) good enough to replace power point?
Many thanks..
Try Slashtop Remote Desktop HD
Its HD desktop sharing from a Windows running machine and works quite good.
I've used it a few times to show product flyers as well as PDF presentation's. Works great and impresses my audience every time.

Best ROM for running XBMC only?

Hello!
I've stop using my Atrix since about 3 months ago, so I'm no longer in the game.
Any suggestions to what ROM should be used if one wanted to use XBMC only?
The phone will be constantly plugged in and will always have power. It would be great if the ROM supported video mirroring with hd playback and good decoding.
Any suggestions?
I've used it on both CM7 and CM10. Personally, I didn't notice a difference. I did not try playing anything as I've no media on my phone, but was able to load navi-x and stream stuff fine. It was slow, but I think that was due to it being in beta.
I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing "Audio over HDMI" option in CM7... It's nice if you have a home theater and want sound coming from speaker system and not just the TV.
Edit: As a side note, it was a pain to work with the interface on such a small screen. Have you considered something like raspberry pi and selling/donating the Atrix?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
well, I have considered selling it, but the digitizer has a dead stripe, so the phone doesn't really have any value. The raspberry pi is the next logical step if this doesn't work out!
When I retire my Atrix, I will most likely turn it into a pseudo laptop since I bought a lapdock. They're pretty cheap, have you considered that alternative?

I have a lapdock from the states, but I find it basically useless, since I haven't gotten swedish keyboard layout to work on it.

I have exactly the same scenario. I have an Atrix , unrooted, but the screen no longer works and its basically redundant. I have the smart dock and ideally would like too use it as a dedicated media player with xBMC and a remote, leaving it connected to my TV at all times.
Would appreciate it if you could share any success you have in setting this up.
Thanks!
any progress?
I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my atrix.
Have you had any success using yours as an xbmc machine or did you scrap it for a pi?
I would also like to make my atrix into a dedicated XBMC box. I have a HD dock and would like to use it with the remote. I attempted to install the newly released xbmc for android on a gingerbread rom (Neutrino). I got a message that xbmc is not compatible with my device. I assume that it can work with an ics or jb rom. It works on my galaxy nexus. Any suggestions on which one would have the best support for hdmi output and hd dock?
I have CM10 Epinter JB and xbmc works on my phone. I have to open my player first and then xbmc app.

[Q] Nexus 9 for presentations

I was wondering if anyone is using the N9 for presentations like PowerPoint? I have found that the N9 does not support Mircast or hardwire connections to projectors and I am completely taken back by this. I would never have expected this from Google, especially since they marked the N9 as a productivity tool.
I was using my Samsung Note 10.1 but it is stuck on 4.1.4 or something like that I have not rooted obviously. But it casts to Mircast and it own Samsung cast system. The problem is that it can not take advantage of the new PPT apps like the upgrade Polaris. You need at least 4.2.
So now I have a great device that can use the office apps (the real office is come soon for free) and I can not project.
Anyone have some uplifting thoughts on this?
dave
do a search for "Chromecast without WiFi" I could swear I read something recently that will let you cast directly to the CC. also.. you could consider one of the travel router options that let you have your own local firewalled WiFi setups/repeaters.. run about 40$. I'm already looking into them and will report back what I find.

I actually put in a couple of chromecasts to the TV screens at work for this purpose. wish google came up with an offline feature for stuff like this.

What is a good android box?

Hey,
I was thinking about an Android box thingy and there are many cheap options.
I would like to play around with some emulators (PPSSPP included) with a USB controller I have and watch some anime ^^ I'd also not like to spend in excess of ~$35 (max $45)
Any good cheap boxes that can do that? Preferably that support Lolipop since I love its UI.
I've seen ones with Amlogic S802,812 and 912 CPUs and RK3188 and 3368 CPUs.
Which one is decent? eBay links would be appreciated ^^ Thanks! (OpenGL ES3 support would also be nice.)
RK3188 drives my LighInTheBox mk809iv. It's got 2GB RAM, 8GB EMMC, a full sized USB 2 port, hdmi, microSDXC port, runs KitKat 4.4, comes with Kodi pre-installed. I rooted it with Kingoroot.com, so that I could run a vnc server on it. I remote control it with my phone which running the free Valence app, or sometimes I remote it with Screen Sharing on my Mac. It plays nicely, and I get decent enough Wifi speeds. It's run everything I have thrown at it. A quick search for mk809iv will bring up a whole lot of these devices, even some with 16gb EMMC. Some will arrive pre-rooted, others will not. Look for Realtek Wifi for best compatibility if you intend to flash it (which requires a PC). It is fun to play with, but looking back on the experience, I'd rather have had a small Android phone with MHL/hdmi-output, as it would have been much easier to set up if there was a screen on the device itself. Just a thought. Used Galaxy s3 handsets are getting cheap enough now, with the same functionality. Cheers!

Yep! Any suggestions regarding TV apps, websites with TV shows, forums for TV boxes and input devices? I don't really think the bundled remote would be something I'd wanna use. I've seen wireless small keyboards with trackpads, do you know anything about them?

The forum I use for my Android devices is usually XDA, right here.
I used a USB keyboard and a mouse to set mine up.
For the record, I rooted my MK809 IV, which has an rk3188 SOC running KitKat 4.4, with Kingo Root, to allow me to run a VNC server, because I use a free Android app called Valence on my phone as a wifi trackpad/mouse and use my phone's keyboard to type on the Android TV. Root allows me to use the free RemoDroid app to control my Android TV from my phone or tablets from anywhere in my house.
Kodi comes on mine, and it's a free app in the Play Store anyway. I tried to set it up last April, but it kept crashing. If you are into that sort of thing, it is a very capable media server for sure.
For playing local files, I think MX Player is the champion app.
I ultimately bought a Logitech k700 keyboard with built-in trackpad to use with mine - I purchased it refurbished on a Newegg special for fifteen dollars! I take that keyboard everywhere with me. I love it. I prefer to use an actual mouse, but since I bought the k700, I have not missed mice enough to actually plug one in. I like it because it is nearly full-sized, but still compact, and it comes already set up to use a single USB wireless dongle. Range has been great, and after almost a year I am still on the first set of batteries.
Just today I was looking into purchasing the remote that came with your TV box, so please, let me know if you like it.
I bought a Hubman USB 2.0 hub in case I need more ports. It seemed like a good idea to have it, but I have not actually plugged it into the Android stick yet. I'm sure it will support a mouse, keyboard & usb thumb-drive just fine.
I don't want to go too far off-topic, so if it's okay with you, I'll pm you a list of apps I use for video. Nothing seems to slow down my aging rk3188 quad. Your rk3368 octa-core is going to be fantastic! Would you please post a link to the auction? Even if the auction is closed, I'd love to take a look at the device. The price you paid is unbelieveable!

China gadgets also has firmware updates for it! ^^
Thanks, I'd love a list of apps!
Thanks for the links! It's insane that we can buy an 8-core computer for forty bucks. So sorry that I haven't checked in for a while.
I haven't really been watching TV or movies lately. When I've had free downtime, I've been playing a roll-playing game that's called Skydoms. I didn't think I'd get hooked on it, but then I did.
How is that box working out for you?

new second screen via wifi + windows 10 not working

is it possible, that the new 2nd screen functionality with the new OneUI 3 only works with Samsung Notebooks? whatever I try, it's not working with my razer. I do see the tablet and as soon as I try to connect the s7 as second screen, the tablet gets black for a few seconds and then it's back, nothing happened and windows 10 says, it was unable to connect.
please let me know, if you have similar issues.
thanks

It works on non-Samsung PCs.
I have a Dell Inspiron that supports wireless display. Works fine connecting to my Tab S7.
Make sure Windows is up to date and your display drivers are as well.

Insider build.
Windows 10 Insider Preview 21301.1000 (rs_prerelease)
not working, like a friend of mine who has the same problem. I now switched to https://superdisplay.app/ - works perfectly without any issues and has more features
it doesn't work for me too
Nope, just noticed 2 days ago that it doesn't work for me either. I'm on Windows 10 Pro, an HP 15t. I first suspected that all the anti-tracking and privacy tweaks I've done are responsible, but now reading this forum I'm not sure.
Here are my system specs...
Not sure what magic sauce it has, but it connects to my Tab S7 perfectly.
Similar system to mine... with Second Screen going on my tablet, windows will show my tablet in the Connect list, but just can't connect to it.
Running Windows 10 Home 19041 and this is working perfect for me. Windows + K brings it up and i am already running extended monitor and it just starts right up. I mind you no use on my desktop but great for drawing on stuff on the screen.
I also have SuperDisplay and while this works fine I have ran into a few problems with it and once or twice it messed up my resolution. Great app but I do like the simplicity of it built into the tablet now.
Going to download Windows 10 ver 20XX and see if this breaks it.
SuperDisplay is by far the best option for using the tab as secondary monitor.
It runs much smoother than Samsung's second screen and looks a lot better. Plus it supports 120hz over wifi with barely any lags. Over USB lags are non existant.
Just need play around with the resolution a little bit the first time you use the app to find the perfect settings that match your main display. Once this is done, simply launch the app and your tablet automatically turns into a second screen - much quicker and reliable than Samsung's second screen feature.
I'm actually impressed with 2nd screen on my dell inspiron, wish it support 2k though. No connection issues and the only thing I wish is that I could bring the keyboard up on the tablet, much better than remote desktop when just using the table as the only screen and touch input.
