[Q] Remote Control Xoom with Another Android Device

Is it possible to remote control the Xoom with another Android device like a Desire or similar?
Rather than buying a bluetooth keyboard/mouse or something - I wanted to be able to hook it up to the TV and then remote control it to change Music/TV shows/movies etc.
Thanks

I have just bought my xoom yesterday and was wondering if this was possible. A google took me to your post.
I assumed this would be simple as they are both android play, and there are many android apps for controlling vlc, xbmc etc. so why not the xoom, seen a it does have a hdmi out

Vnc server on xoom then vnc viewer on phone posted a topic about this works like a charm but it can get laggy

I did see that there is a vnc server. That i could install on the xoom but I don't want a full remote destop, just media controls. Is there even an application for this?

which VNC app was that - and also do you need to be rooted? the couple I glanced at said *ROOT*

I was actually thinking of this last night for a BT mouse (using my evo as a BT mouse on the xoom)

I am also looking for this.
My scenario is this:
I recently bought a cheap headrest holder so that the Xoom can be used as a backseat entertainment center, but it would of course be extra cool if I could use my rooted Desire Z/G2 as a remote from the frontseat to start/stop movies etc, maybe via Bluetooth or something.

that sounds awesome, i cant believe there isn't much out for this. Especially as the xoom has a hdmi out (which works flawlessly btw)

Hey, I've been searching for something similar. We just ditched cable and are using my Transformer as a media center. Would be great to use my DX as a remote to switch YouTube videos, etc. Anything out there? Still looking.

Wiimote
Just a thought. Wiimote Controller gives you a free down and dirty remote control. Not nearly as nice as a Bluetooth keyboard but its extremely cheap and cool for playing games on the big screen as well as controlling YouTube/leanback

There is an app that you can control your xoom with android phone.
DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.

Check the market for an application named Tablet Remote.

this is exactly what you need.

I've been pondering something along these lines. Only I would use the new wifiDirect API. Only downside is both client and server would have to be wifiDirect capable.

Awesome idea. i´m searching for something like that since i have a xoom (and a lg optimus black, also wifiDirect compatible).
why not integrate a fallback to vnc if no wifiDirekt device? direct connection over vnc is simple if one device tethers to the other.

Tablet Remote
is a no-frills option that worked to control my Xoom from my Archos 32.

use android tablet as a torrent box?

i currently have a asus transformer which i love to connect to my tv and watch content on.
i recently got thw idea of using it as a torrent box like i use my utorrent on my desktop on my computer with utorrent remote.
is there a torrent client for a tablet that i can control from my android device?

I'm not sure if this is what you mean but you could try using the tTorrent Pro app on the table and an app called Tablet Remote installed on both tablet and another android device (which connects via BT) to navigate the tablet and play videos that way.

hmm interesting solution but i also need it to work with 3g like utorrent does

Any ideas for server software?

So I have a 2007 Macbook running Snow Leopard. I want to turn it into a file and media server/personal cloud I can leave in a closet at home. I want to be able to store files on it and stream media from it accessible from windows PCs and my GNote 10.1.
Any ideas on software for the macbook, PC and Android tablet that can accomplish all of this?

Have u tried to ask in apple forum?
There might be more users know. This type of question, will be answer faster by apple user/dev, since u want to use ur mac as the server.

Yes. Find a Linux distro and install it. It'll come with all of the servers you need. Just configure and start.

No one who responded in Mac forums had any idea how to do what I wanted. I will probably go the linux route. Thanks guys.

If this is going to be mostly for media files, have you thought of PLEX or even PS3 media server for osx?

Ah yes, I forgot about Plex. I think I will have Plex regardless, but wanted something that can handle a bit more than media too. Thanks for the suggestion! I will also look into PS3 media server.

One other thing you could do, if you can find the builds, is just download and install Apache http server for web access, U-Share for UPnP access, and Samba for Windows file sharing access. For any other servers you need, just install programs for them as needed. There's all kinds of different single-purpose server programs. That way you could keep OSX installed and usable. I did the same thing on a Windows XP machine a while back. However, I eventually ended up running so many different server apps that it just made more sense to turn it into a dedicated server and I installed Fedora linux. That machine's still up and running today. It's just a suggestion.

You can use basic SSH and a app that can stream from ssh to a video player, ex FX Explorer + MX Player. With this potent tablet, you don't need any transcoding, it has the best HW decoder available.
If you need it to be accessible only from internal network, then you should use SAMBA server (basic windows share).
As an OS, i am recomanding Ubuntu you can do bouth type of sharing with ease !

[Q] Which apk allows streaming from tablet to TV (any website with no restriction)?

i've been using similar apps like Skifta or twonky beam to serve videos from my tablet to my DLNA smart TV.
one limitation i realized is that they either only stream LOCAL files (on tablet), or stream from selected websites only.
is there any app that allows true mirroring of the tablet screen to my TV? i.e. there should be no restriction in the website i want to stream from.
i'm using HP touchpad on the latest CM nightly build.
TIA!

anyone knows?

I would like to know but as long as I've searched I didn't find anything that would mirror ur phone screen to TV, maybe vlc (the way it's fine one computers)
As for streaming any website it may be possible but no app as of now

seeing how Airplay is a huge success on apple devices, i'm confused why android doesn't offer a similar solution. still on the lookout for an app that can mirror anything that i stream from a website, from tablet to TV.

Imediashare is great. Not sure if it can do any website though..
