using polaris as a trackpad/remote control

Hi people,
I've had a search in this and some other forums (fora?) as well as google, but can't find what I'm looking for. This makes me think that it doesn't exist...
I have my PC connected to my TV and acts as a HD-movie server as well as a general music entertainment system. I'm a bit fed up having to grab for the wireless keyboard and mouse every time I want to do something on the computer.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that allows me to use my polaris as a sort of track-pad and keyboard for my PC (via bluetooth, wifi, or whatever).
Could you fool the PC into thinking you'd connected a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
Also - i'd like to be able to assign simple functions like fast-forward, rewind & pause functionality to the polaris. It would make a really cool all-in-one remote.
So - has anyone ever heard of a program to do either of these?
Do you think it would even be feasible?

Hello
this will do the track pad, and remote control functions but i dont think that it does a keyboard bit

It does most and is a pretty solid program with some nice features too

wow, that was quick reply!
Nice one. I'll try it when I get home!
Thanks very much

Salling clicker

hi - just an update...
I tried RemoteControl, but couldn't get it to work. My polaris can see the PC using the program, but when i select it as a server and click "ok", it doesn't connect to remote control server on the PC. The forum on the developer's website looks really quite dead - so not much help there.... oh well.
Also - it sometimes locks me out of my phone when the backlight and screen turns off (pressing the powerbutton doesn't even bring it back on) and I have to press the reset button.
I'll give Salling Clicker free trial a go. Thanks for the info.
on a related note, have a look at this iPhone version "touchpad pro" its EXACTLY what i want, but you need a hacked iPhone. Grrrrrrr.

I'll post back with results of Salling Clicker.

Just tried Salling Clicker with my laptop at work.
Absolutely, unbelievably, awesome!
Easy to set up and get working.
What's more, I can use it with WiFi and free up my bluetooth dongle.
Almost perfect. It doesn't have keyboard support, but its a good enough for now.
I'm off to buy a copy.
thanks for the heads-up Redman77

As far as i know Sideshow's gonna have options for remote control using some kind of Microsoft receiver software. might come in handy if you wanna control your computer completely. You would be able to use your touchscreen just like a laptop's mousepad... which should be very cool..

Phone Control

Hi
I'm searching for a good app, that can control my phone via ActiveSync and/or WMDC. Yolu know, to see the screen and perform things on the phone with my mouse .

A good free one is at http://www.mymobiler.com or for a paid application is pocket controller http://www.soti.net/

+1 for MyMobiler.

MyMobiler is veeeeeeeeery slow.

A good free one is EveryWAN Remote Control Personnal Edition by Sparus Software(www.sparus-software.com).

lways been find for me. neither I or any one in the never have really noticed any slowness. Or should I say its find for what we use it for ;-)

Yeah, but useing it to change the Manila tabs and scroll programs/pictures/contacts is pretty hard, because it refreshes slowly, and it's difficult to watch at the PPC screen, while operating it with mouse on the PC screen.

SOTI has a refresh rate issue as well. the problem is not with the phone's refresh.. it hardly slows it down.. but the interface appearing on the PC has a somewhat slow refresh rate for some reason.

Are you seriously taking the piss!!! You have started a new thread just to tell people to go and find the original thread!!!!!!!
Mod please delete this thread, it is a waste of time and space.

Woohoo!!! Well I for one only browse the leo forums and I wouldnt have know, so thanks!!!

This is the best news for Windows mobile ever! Thanks for this post, I check the other forum but wasn't expecting already!

Holy Crap thanks info!#[email protected]!

at least say which topic !!!

I installed this onto my HD2, tried running a .bin file on my SD card but it loads the ps startup screen then it just exits the app. Could someone please let me know how to get this working?
The emulator is install on my device, I put the SCPH1001.BIN file in the BIOS directory and I'm trying to run the games off my SD card. I have to view all files when opening the games mind. I don't know why because they are .bin files.

What the hell is the special HD2 support the OP is mentioning?

not sure, its definetly hard to use on the HD2 the buttons are all tiny, and the screen taps on register if you swipe

Could someone please right up a step by step on how they got it to work on their phone. I'm having trouble starting it up.

Thanks for the tip on swiping accross the virtual buttons, I couldn't get it to work at first...
and I can't map hardware keys...

Okay, one of the developers of fpsece bought one week ago a htc leo, to fit fpsce to this device. Multitouch isn't implemented yet, but will come. G-Sensor support will come too.
Download the manual, read the manual and then plz ask specific questions. On my leo fpsece is running like hell.
Maybe i can help a little bit.

nice release, but the wiping issue makes it quite unusable. can't get any virtual analogsticks to run either, and the individual direction buttons are too unpractical without multitouch :-/

mind posting your fpse.ini?

I use the standard fpse.ini. In the fpsece forum there is a optimized fpse.ini, so fas as i understood. So no magic. Use the bios version 1001.
U get used to the buttons. U can also use the multikey option. Mutikey means, that if you press your screen two buttons will react.
Configuring the keys needs a litte bit of your time. So u can adjust what will happen if u touch your screen. Wether one touch one hit or one touch enables the key until another one is touched. Final fantasy 7 is a joy with the new emu

hmmm... i noticed pinch to zoom is on in FPSE and I do have BsB tweaks installed, but I can't find the FPSE name under the pinch to zoom list in order to disable it.
Could this be causing the swiping issue for virtual buttons? Can anyone that doesn't have pinch to zoom activated confirm this?

anybody has onscreen button reacting lag?

yep, just played a little more with it and the wiping issue and button lag is the same. takes ~1 second for any onscreen button to react.
tried deactivating the pinch to zoom through the blacklist key in the registry, but didn't work - its still active.
tried FF7, but cant get past the introscreen ... start button isn't working.

hope it will be fixed soon... and with multitouch, i will be so happy, that i will jump 3 meters high it is running great on HD2, just few more things

It is very very strange that we are having these issues, because the developer himself has one so surely he can't be having a fun time with it with all the issues?
The buttons actually seem to work as long as you set them to toggle on when you press.

Looking for application

Hey,
Im looking for a Application for my HD2.
Which allows me to use my phone as a mouse for my PC at home.
Logitech has something like that for Iphone but i just cant find it for my HD2.
Hope anyone can help me

GRemote Pro
http://gbmsoftware.com/
Absolutely FANTASTIC, particularly with a capacitive touchscreen (like the HD2).

I just installed G-remote and am typing this using my phone as a mouse and keyboard to control my PC.
great application but some of the symbols seem to be messed up at the minute. sure I can sort that out in the settings somehow though

[Q] Is Splashtop HD fully functional?

Hey,
I am considering to buy myself the transformer with the dock and I was wondering, if it would then work as a "real" netbook if I use it in connection with Splashtop? Therefore I have some questions:
* Will all kinds of software (Microsoft Office, Eclipse IDE, etc.) work?
* Are the keyboard and the touchpad fully compatible? Or will I have to use some kind of virtual keyboard although the dock is plugged in?
* How will this affect the battery life?
* Will there be any interferences with surfing the web?
Thank You very much so far!

I had the same thought but I just went and did it.
Even though the asus transformer has an app that is a clone of Microsoft office (Polaris Office) Microsoft office will work.
The keyboard works fine with me. All that the keyboard does is replace the onscreen one, so it has to work.
It will have the same battery life as you would normally have while Wifi is turned on.
I personally noticed that it was a little laggy, but I have really bad internet.
Good luck sir

Thanks for the reply!

What's about the touchpad? Does is also work completely right? It think I read somewhere that using the right-click button causes Splashtop to terminate?

How fast is/was your internet connection? How fast should it be?

I really think that Asus TF together with its Dock are a great team, but I am afraid that it won't fulfill my expectations. Of course, I could buy me a netbook, but I also would like to have the ability to play around with a touch-screen
So honestly, how long have you had the TF (and how long have you used Splashtop) and do you think it is a "good" combination of a netbook and a tablet?

Right click will quit splashtop (it is back) but holding down left simulates right click. On my lan splashtop is almost like running windows locally. Over the net it is as good for most things as any other remote solution but somehow manages to stream video better than any others.

I have to ask this question, but you are aware that Splashtop is a remote desktop solution, and that in order for it to work you must have a PC or a Mac running somewhere on your network (or accessible from the internet), and it is this machine that actually runs your software?
The reason I ask is because you're asking if specific software works with Splashtop - in essence, the software on your "server" machine is immaterial to Splashtop because Splashtop is just a remote desktop.
Regards,
Dave

Hey Dave!
I fully understand that the software has to run on a normal OS and the "output" will be streamed to the TF. The thing is though, I am not sure if the 10 inch display can resize the images so far, that the software can be used productively.
So my question is how good can the display handle "intensive" applications which have a lot of screen elements. Is the small display able to scale it down properly?

When you run splashtop from the transformer, it automatically changes the screen resolution on the host computer to a size that will fit on the transformer screen perfectly (At least in my experience). Once you disconnect your computers screen resolution goes back to what it was set as.
You can choose the following screen resolutions:
800x600
1024x768
1280x720
Best fit to transformer
Native resolution(whatever you currently have set on your windows or mac comptuer)

In practice your primary concern should be the tablet -> mouse situation and having enough bandwidth for what you're doing.
The regular version that is bundled will also tend to disconnect when you go back or to another application, I assume so does the HD.

One other thing to note is that when you are using the trackpad on the dock, you get the android mouse plus you get the mouse on the computers desktop. The mouse of the computers desktop follows the android mouse around, with a little bit of lag (if you aren't on the same network).
As mentioned above, the right click button on the dock still does act as the back button, exiting the application. Tapping and holding is the way to make a right-click action happen on the host computer.

If standard RDP is an option (if you have a VPN or something), the 2X RDP app works wonderfully with the transformer keyboard dock and trackpad. It actually allows you to use the right-click liek you normally would - it's JUST like sitting in front of a PC....
Like I said though, this is just plain RDP - will not work via the internet without a VPN.... ALso, not good for things like video, etc.....
