If anyone is interested in this, I can create a mini tut how. You will need root on the other android device but not on Yogabook. I am guessing that I am the only one who uses it this way.
I use my Yogabook to draw on my Note 2014 10.1 for example. Sounds like a stupid idea, but it is not. For instance I can keep the screen at any distance I want, I also can use the pressure sensitive pen on the screen of Samsung Note without disconnecting my Yogabook So I can switch back and forth at no cost.
This seems to work with any android tablet well as long as they have proper input. I tested it with my Nook Hd and it works. So if you have a 12 inch android tablet then you will get much nicer screen space and much better pressure sensitivity. The Yogabook pen has much deeper pressure sensing compared to the wacom stuff ships with Samsung line as far a I can tell.
I haven't got one yet but plan to (there are other more urgent pending expenses), but I would love to have this for when I do get it. I'm guessing that not only will it work for other tablets but any other Android devices (like tv boxes).
But anyways, I hope you share (and that the method survives the nougat upgrade if/when it comes).
Apologies for the thread resurrection. Did you make progress with this? And if so, how well does it work?
Can I, for example, use Sketchbook or Squid on one Android device, and just use my Yoga Book as an input device for it, much as one would use an Intuos tablet on a PC? Can it operate with the Yoga Book's screen turned off?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there was a app that would enable you to use the NT as drawing pad (ie a bamboo tablet for example)? I ask because i tend to do work with Photoshop and would find convenient to be able to use the nook tablet to work as a drawing tablet so i can use it to make fine edits.
For that reason, simply controlling the desktop doesn't work quite that well as it has a lag so it makes getting detail drawings difficult.
I am just curious if it is even possible to do it, as i feel like their are others who would enjoy this functionality too, so if their isn't a app to do it, maybe it would be worth while for someone to make it and sell it.
I have the bamboo tablet. Probaably not worth trying to kludge the nootlet to do the job of a dedicated drawing tablet ... same reason you wouldn't try to use the nootlet as a replacement for a mouse.

For the past few days I have been racking my brain and searching multiple forums for the answer(s) and I finally turn to XDA to hopefully help answer.
The thought: I would love to be able to take my DroidX connect it via HDMI to a 7" monitor in my car to have a nice view of the navigation, access to my music and all of the other items that the phone has to offer (which include data connection and accurate GPS). Sure I can buy an android based headunit or build a carPC but why when I have what all of that has to offer in my pocket? Then I got to thinking, to take it a step further, why not use a 7" touchscreen monitor so that I am not just passing video and sound via the HDMI but that the monitor registers touches to the phone.
WebTop is a great middle of the road solution as it would output the HDMI and allow the user to utilize the phone as the mouse touchpad on the screen. Sadly it is only offered for a select few phones. So on to my questions.
1. Did I some how miss a WebTop project being worked on that would do what I am talking about?
2. Am I wrong in thinking that drivers need to be worked out depending on the phone AND which 7" TS was used?
3. Most, if not all, android phones have video out capabilities, so outputting to the screen would be workable, but is there a better way to get the input hurdle worked out.. not a question just an open suggestion box.
Looks like a few more days or looking would have helped. Customgadz has what I need.
so what did you find? I searched for Customgadz, with no results. did you use hdmi mirroring with Android, or does this work with webtop?
Looks like the australian website has a solution to control an android device with a 4 wire external touchscreen using a module.
search for "customgadz remote touch"
Only pre-order now and the website states they start delivering end of januari
There has been some discussion, but none since the Consumer Preview came out about being able to get Windows on a tablet such as the Gtab which is a Tegra2 chipset.
Does anybody know if it is even possible to get Windows on the Gtab at any point without a specific bootloader for it? With Android being more open than Windows we can tinker and change it far more than we ever will with Windows so I am not so much as asking if it is being done as much as I am asking if it can be done. And then if so if anybody is even looking at doing it. I would love to take a Consumer Preview copy and try to install it on my Gtab just to see if it would work but I don't know enough about tablet technology to even start, desktop on the other hand I'll get working, but not with a tablet.
So after all this, if anybody is willing to assist in trying this I am will to test it out. I have 2 Gtabs and I am willing to put one up for testing, but I want to do the testing so I can learn if anybody is will to teach.
IMO Never

gTab doesn't come close to meeting the min hardware specs that Microsoft has published for Win8 tablets (screen res, hardware buttons, storage space, UEFI support, Bluetooth 4.0, 720P camera, magnetometer & gyro, etc). It is doubtful that any modern Windows version will ever run in the 512M of memory the gTab has. In addition, MS has also said that Win8 Tablet will be tied to hardware (you won't be able to go to your local PC store & pick up a copy to install on any old tablet). The vendors will tie Win8 to their specific hardware & that is the only way you will be able to get it.
FYI, the Win8 tabs that were given out at BUILD had an Intel core i5 processor, 4G ram, 64G SSD, 1366x768 display, Wireless N, & 3G.
With android, devs have access to os source code that helps them to be able to modify android to the varying hardware. In the case of Win8, I don't believe you will ever see MS release source code which would make the task of porting to an unsupported devices next to impossible. Just my 2 cents.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new tablet but I'm not sure how much I want to spend. I've seen this comparison around and I was wondering what's your opinion?
It's the just released Lenovo Yoga Book vs the latest Chuwi HiBook Pro.
Similar specs but different prices. Is it worth spending so much more for a slightly better processor? The HiBook Pro has a much sharper screen (2560 x 1600) and it's a lot cheaper.
I have a chuwi hibook 10.1 and it's pretty nice, esp given the price vs other windows 10 tab and Ultrabooks. Plus it has the dual boot option of Android 5.1. The tablet itself is a good value.
The keyboard docks on these chuwi tabs, and many other cheap Chinese tabs from what I've gathered, is also pretty nice, given one glaring oversight. The touchpad. It ships with no special touchpad driver, instead using the generic MS HID Mouse driver. The problem is that there are no touchpad options.. no sensitivity settings, no swipe or gesture settings. It does support 2 finger scrolling and tapping, so it does work, but it is super sensitive. the bigger problem is that Win10 has all these mouse gestures built in, so when using it, you are always activating mouse gestures, which makes it almost useless. For example, if you move your finger from top edge in downward direction, it triggers the Windows+D hotkey (show/hide desktop). This happens all the time, as does other window key shortcuts.
Chuwi says they don't build the keyboard, and have no idea who's touchpad hardware is used. So far no real solution has been offered to make the pad register as a specific device, or even utilize the ms precision touchpad driver (which would enable options for some adjustments in Windows).
So basically, if you're planning to use the tablet as a tablet, it's fine. If you plan to use a mouse all the time it's fine. But if you plan to use the integrated touchpad, you might want to consider something else. It's my understanding that many other cheap tablets are using the same keyboard, more or less, and have the same touchpad issues. My best advice is to do lots of research before you buy if this is a concern to you.

Thanks for the feedback! Really helpful.
I guess I'll go with Chuwi then, also because they're running this promotion: promotion.chuwi. com/chuwi-12th-anniversary-celebration/
So I could even get it for free! Win/Win.
Hello,
I own a Samsung GS2 8.0 WIFI tablet and as it has no EM-sensitive touchscreen I can't use advanced styluses.
I would like to solve this by connecting Graphic Tablet - Wacom Intuos Art.
After connecting trough OTG android finds a pointing device (mouse), but as I am trying to point anything on the Wacom Tablet there is no reaction from android.
Even buttons pressed on Wacom Tablet are not read by S2.
I did some research and I assume that it is drivers issue.
Wacom does not provide drivers for Linux nor Android, so I would like to ask this magnificent community a question...
Is there a way to make Wacom Tablet connected to GS2 work?
Appreciate any help
Thanks
Looks like XDA is a dead community about such problems. It's the 4th or 5th question that I find unanswered there. No one even can at least mention that there was some mysterious native support of wacom tablets on some Nexus phones and tablets, even with working pressure sensitivity. And this was in 2012. And the number of pages in the internet about wacom support same as about raw video on android.
