My goal here is to make an EASY to use display for people be able to read DOC, PDF, XLS files.
Here is what I want to use:
1. Rikomagic MK802 III
2. Logitech T650 touchpad
3. 1080P 52" LG TV. (We already own this)
4. Office/PDF app such as: Kingsoft Office, or Easy PDF reader
I plan to connect the MK802 to the tv then install the touch pad (in the available USB slot) and have people use the touchpad to "flip" through files.
In my mind it seems simple enough but some questions I have are:
A. Does anyone know a way to lock android into a "demo mode" of sorts. Where only one app is accessible and the screen stays on?
B. Has anyone used the logitech touchpad T650?
C. Any better app suggestions? Keeping in mind easy is the key.
Just found a cool app that will take care of the demo mode that I want:
KioWare Kiosk Mode Software
On the MK808 custom software, you can disable the navigation keys... essentially keeping from anyone escaping. It is possible to bring back the navigation and exit but not at first glance...
Not sure how you could do this. Maybe a tasker sequence to check if XYZ app is running else launch XYZ. So even if someone did exit, it would relaunch.
Combination of both?

did it work?
Hi, did the Logitech Touchpad work?
I tried the newest MK 802 (8G, bluetooth) with Apple Magic Trackpad and it did not work - no mouse movements, no clicks.
This might be of use to you, Smart Protector. I've used it in conjunction with launchers that can hide icons to stop anyone from messing about with the setup.

clicker hardware:
I want a remote to control an android phone via a device like the targus bluetooth laser for mac. So far I've only seen software to control a pc via an android.
click for screen capture software:
So far I read screenshot er, picme, dropcap2 and ShootMe are screen capture applications for android. Which would allow use of a "hot key" to automate the screen capture of android to an automatically enumerated file in a pre-determined folder?
My whole intent is to either get a clicker or at least a bt mouse to automate a screen capture on the android to be saved to a unique file on the android sd.
I have paired that remote with my phone and it works but does not stay connected. It may be a problem with the stock Charge bt software. Maybe there is way to write a script to take a screenshot when a key from the remote is sent.

I too am desperately looking for a BT presenter for my android ICS tablet. I do presentations with my tablet and I'm sick of using my mouse for PowerPoints. Any ideas?

Sorry for the plug!
So I got my dock today and I've begun sampling remote desktop solutions including several RDP clients, VNC clients and Splashtop HD.
So far Splashtop seems to be the clear winner in terms of video performance, which is important to me as I'd like to at least be able to do simple things in games with high video demands (check the auction house in MMOs for example). The problem is that when I plug in a USB mouse or use the touchpad with Splashtop HD, there is no right click support- right click seems to be bound at some level to back in Android. I have not pulled the trigger yet on Remote RDP (paid) because I already own splashtop, so any comparison between the video on the two would be great, also.
So, questions:
How might it be possible to change the way android sees a right click from the mouse? If it were possible to make android see a right click as a random rarely used character like ` (tilde), there are ways to tell your desktop to interpret such a key as a right click (mousefighter comes to mind).
If the above proves impossible or unwieldy, is anything comparable in terms of video to splashtop?
I agree splashtop is pretty incredible from a video standpoint. You might try gotomypc? I believe they have an android app.
I didn't know about this right click issue, I've been using splashtop but I don't have my dock yet.
I'm sure there is a workaround...

i use pocketcloud. The free version only allows one config but i just reconfig when i need to. It has a nice mechism for different mouse and keyboard functions but i have not tried an actual mouse with it. Not sure how good video and stuff is since i just use it to admin servers. It does pass windows sounds though.
Plz post in the Q & A forum..
Pocketcloud Free does support right click from an external mouse Sadly, de paid pro doesn't I hope they will upgrade soon.
I don't know if this would theoretically help, but in ICS there's a setting to change the touchpad right-click to long press rather than back. Doesn't seem to work for me though...
Hi,
I just need some answers on a couple of questions I have, firstly how can I get spellcheck to work with the physical keyboard and not just with the virtual keyboard?
Secondly, I remeber seeing an app which would let you run a sort of overlay which would always be on top, allowing you to for example browse the internet and have a video playing on the side. Just can't remeber the name of the app, any ideas?
Thirdly, when using splashtop, wether its the ASUS my desktop version, normal splash top or splashtop HD is there a way to have the remote computer's mouse pointer follow the transformers mouse pointer?
Hope someone can help clear up a few questions.
Thanks
I suggest dual screen browser.
Hi! I know that there are apps to let an Android device serve as a mouse and keyboard for a PC or Mac. But is there anything to let an Android device do the same thing for another Android device? I feel like someone must have done this, but I can't find such an app. (I'm interested in getting an Android HDMI stick PC to use with my TV, and I'd much rather control it with another Android than with a keyboard and mouse.)
I found one app, Tablet Remote, which does _much_ of what I'm looking for, but it doesn't actually act as a mouse (instead just giving you arrows to move the selection point), which means that there's no way via Tablet Remote to do lots of basic things that require key taps.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm trying to use my broken screen'ed Nexus 4 as a XBMC unit. Trouble is, its a bit of a pain to do anything on it because of the screen being broken (touch screen 25% of the area works).
So basically I need some software which allows me to connect from a "client" (ie other phone/tab) to control it. I know i can use Yatse or any of the other XBMC remotes once i'm running XBMC but there are times where i need to do other stuff on it.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried Tablet remote which does some of the things. But it only really has functionality of a keyboard arrow keys ther than touch/mouse control. Also I know there is another app which seems pretty useful but it has been open sourced called Screen Standby which apparently has a remote control aspect but since its a pay for app that hasn't been updated for nearly a year i'm reluctant to purchase.
anyway. thanks in advance.
