I dont think this just came out. Ive had Teamviewer on my Vibrant for a while now.
Edit- I just looked and the one on their site is v.6.0.127, the one I have is v6.0.100, and doesnt have a time limit, and its been working all this time, so Im assuming it wont stop when this one does either.

Not sure if this is strictly 'development', but it turns out the nexus Q with debugging enabled can run pretty much anything. So far I've only tested the doubleTwist alarm clock and firefox, but it works! (Admittedly, navigation is slow, but still, it's nice to see that Google was open with this)
how are you controlling the apps?
Well right now I'm just feeding it xy coordinates from a computer, but I'm considering trying to rig something up for wireless communication...if I feel motivated enough.
Nice! If i can run things like netflix and a web browser i will definitely pick one up.

Pandora would be nice with this. How are you running the apps? What if we could have an app that would directly communicate to the Nexus Q and just push the running app to it? Just brainstorming ideas
1. I have actually done some web surfing using firefox, and it works (although its not very easy right now)
2. Netflix streaming in fact does work, although I haven't really tested for video quality at the moment.
3. I can try pandora at some point during the week. Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to speakers for it, so I haven't tested any audio yet.
4. I'm running the app by sideloading apks using adb and then running adb shell to start the app.
5. I was considering writing a service that would allow me to send some commands from an android phone...but somebody may have done that already (there's an app on the play store called Tablet Remote that I may try) so I may just give that a go.
I just got my Nexus Q so I'm definitely interested in development. If you need any testers feel free to hit me up!

anyone know how to get windows to recognize the nexus q when you put it in debugging mode (so I can use adb)

I've had similar experiences, side loading works just fine and all the apps start up. I looked into this tablet remote, and it seems like it would work too, but I hate the idea of Bluetooth pairing.
In the spirit of this device, I suppose the "right" way to do this would be to forward commands through a server. The receiver service running on the device end with a remote on the client end.
The limitation of the Tablet Remote is that it would require all of the apps to be started via ADB. I'm thinking of making a simple interface that starts some of the apps you would want to run (Pandora, Crackle, Netflix, etc).
I've actually developed a little app that I'll post here in a day or two. Its an app that starts a custom web server that runs in the background. I have a few commands running on it now that list the installed packages and to launch a package. Now I'm working on adding support for intents.
The idea is that you just need to load this one app through ADB (and any other apps you need installed). After that, you just go to the URL of the Q to control it.
Some commands that work now, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Q:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081 - shows home page with a list of supported commands
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/listpackages - shows a list of installed packages, each with a hyperlink to launch that package by clicking on it
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/launch?package=com.xxxx.xxx - will launch a particular package
So at this point, I'm not sure how to do touch or keyboard input. Has anyone tried a usb hub to a mini usb adapter, and plugging in a USB mouse and keyboard. I guess you can't do bluetooth devices since you need something to select the action to actually do the pairing.

nwadams - I had to edit the android_winusb.inf file manually. Put this in both the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections. I'm not sure if you need that &REV_0216 at the end or not. Then I manually had windows install the driver, and pointed it to the android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder.
; Nexus Q
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_2C10&REV_0216

thanks man. worked like a charm.
Yeah I was actually going to try something along the web server route. We'll see: I won't have access to a Q until thursday
I've experimented with bluetooth pairing (Magic Mouse) but I couldn't get the pairing to actually complete, and logcat was rather unhelpful with that one.
Also, how're you handling starting apps where the activity needs to be specified? I've found that ones that don't handle the Launcher intent or w/e don't really start properly unless I give it the activity name manually.
I just uploaded my test app and started another thread "Juice Receiver". I figured that would probably need a thread of it's own to report problems or request features.
The background service should autostart since I created a broadcast receiver to start the service. In the manifest, I set this for the broadcast receiver: action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"

I use linux, and i can detect the device, but it says under device number, ????????????? and no permissions as well. i try to adb shell it, no permissions. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Really want to start working on this bad boy.

sudo adb start-server
Or go on source.android.com and follow the directions for the adb permissions section and add a line for the Q info you can get from lsusb
How exactly did you send it x, y coordinates? I got the netflix apk up and running on it: https://plus.google.com/110462891087801857205/posts/Ufu6hT8GX9i
Obviously useless without some sort of input. I noticed that someone got a HID mouse working with it though.
Also to note: this was not rooted, just did a normal adb install with an apk.

Cool, thanks.
I actually got passed the login page for netflix, just gotta somehow figure out how to press the movie to initiate streaming something.
I actually just eyeballed the screen and guessed where to press until I got a movie to play. Not precise, but good enough for testing.
I have been developing a remote control client for Windows Phone for a while now. I am now opening up beta program so that it can be tested heavily. It'd be great to have feedback from the XDA community. Here are a few details and some FAQs about beta testing. If you're absolutely sure that you want to be a tester, jump directly to the bottom of this post.
What should I expect from this beta?
Well, you should expect what you generally expect from beta software. Cutting edge, burning hot software with new features and a few bugs here and there. Specifically, you might run into some memory management issues, but they shouldn't stop you from trying it out.
What do I need to be a beta tester?
Patience and tolerance: You should understand that the app might behave unexpectedly sometimes.
A Windows Phone 8 device: That's where you test the app.
XBMC: You need to have XBMC running somewhere on your network. That's what you're trying to control using this app.
A Microsoft account: You will need to have a Microsoft Id associated with your phone to be a beta tester.
How do I become a beta tester?
Just give me your Microsoft Id here. I won't sell it to anyone. I won't spam either.
How do I report issues?
You may create an issue on Github here.
You may post it on this thread.
You may contact me over the twitter at @akshay4000.
At times Google+ can be a good choice.
Can I contribute to the code?
I'm glad you asked. Here is the Github repo: https://github.com/akshay2000/XBMCRemoteWP. Fork it, fix something, make some commits and make a pull request. I'll be glad to take contributions. Just make sure that the code is pretty.
Again, here is the link if you want to be a beta tester: http://bit.ly/1iW5c3z
Thank you all for the support.
Well, your app crashes and brings me back to the main screen, after adding the IP of my xbmc.

Just pushed an update. Check back in a few hours. That should fix it. Oddly enough, same app worked fine when deployed from my local machine, but crashed when downloaded from marketplace.
So, if this new version crashes, we know that store is messing with it.
Updated your app but it still crashes.

Sorry about that! At this point, you're probably losing the patience, but I've pushed another update. And I'm certain that this will solve it. Please, give it a try. Version should be 1.0.0.2 - the latest one.
Edit: Just checked. The latest version goes without any crash. Can you verify that?
Without a crash but I am not able to connect the app with my xbmc (raspberry pi). With other app I have no problem to connect.

If you have password set up on XBMC, the app might not connect. Update is being pushed out which will fix this. Update the app in a few hours. Sorry for the trouble. Till then you can test the app by disabling the passwords.
i see there is already ssh server available if you copy a key back into the device
but i can see good features like VPN and Hotspot are missing
i can see that vpn could be hard if not in RW mode
and hot spot just needs ap-hotspot installing
is there a way of seeing what apps are going to be available ?
a lot of handy tools on the droid which are missing from here that could be added and probably already available
nmap
virt-manager
to name a few, but handy for system admins to work on remote servers etc ...

What do you mean by "what apps are going to be available"? You'll never know what 3rd party devs will do.
However, these things won't be doable by 3rd party apps due to Ubuntu's apparmor security policies. These would have to be implemented in the system settings or as some system service as well.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes :good:
The following network features are not yet included in the Developer Preview:
Advanced Settings (e.g. Hidden SSIDs, Manual IP, VPN…)
Hot Spot/Tethering
@Geeks Empire Those release notes are quite outdates. Hidden SSIDs, for example, have been there for ages now.

I've copied out my.local share folder and can see the program databases IE I want to rsync the database files for the program memories to use as a journal
Ive run Ubuntu touch apps on Ubuntu desktop question is can I apt get memories and run it on my desktop or would I have to install it on emulator and sync and run my apps from that ?
Sent from my awesome Ubuntu Touch device using the Forum Browser app
You can copy the databases to the same path on your desktop as they were on the phone. The apps should be able to find them then. However, that won't automatically sync them again if they change later.

ive done it i got the memories app running on my laptop and copied in the database
it puts it in the same place so i made a entry and copied it back and it works fine
although on the mobile pictures dont insert but on the laptop they do but dont show when i put back to the phone
im more interested in using it as a syncing journal like i do daily with lifeograph, again i just use text in this..
so im going to set ssh keys for now and just use scp to push and pull the files till i find a better way for automatic sync maybe rsync or something i see that its available on the phone
im probably setup a rsync server on my main server computer and sync my laptop up and phone (and tablet later) by making a simple bash script that specifies directories
as so far the whole .lcal share directory is 500 meg so better selecting what i want to sync
im thinkinking
memories
tasks
edit (this holds its notes in the local share)
music - i can specify a music directory to sync maybe
other items maybe handy would be calendar but not sure if notifications show up on the laptop yet ill have to run the app and test adding a date with reminder
but happy enough to get my journal sycning to start with
three apps syncing
ive got three apps syncing nicely
i have memories, notes and tasks syncing and probably can sync anything i like now i have the apps running on all devices
it seems a shame they dropped ubuntu one
is there any other better ways anybody could think of as apposed to manual ssh sync scripts
i have one to send and one to receive
im thinking rsync ...
something like drop box or google drive sync mechanism would be good also that would detect file changes and update the latest version automatically?
any thoughts is grateful
im know its early days and can imagine these being added in a way of a app??...

Sadly, that won't work, at least if you want to be able to install the app from the store.
Apps are run confined on Ubuntu for phones, which means that they can only read and write to their own subdirectories in ~/.local/share. They cannot access anything else.
If you want it to run unconfined, it probably won't be included in the store.
Therefore, the best place to implement that is probably in the OS itself.
