Hey all,
I just got a tab today, all new so far. Due to my disability i really need to be able to control the tap from my windows pc(similar to my mobiler for winmo). I've seen android screencast, i can get it to come up on screen but more nor keyboard work.
I spent the whole day(12 hours) trying to get around this. Does anyone know of any apps that actually work? I don't mind paying for it either.
I've dried droid vnc server and its not really working either. Thanks in advance.
Try remote rdp enterprise. Available in the market. Install it. Works great.

droid explorer works.
enable usb debugging on the Tab
then go to tools, then plugin and select screencast. wait for java plugin to run and the screen for the Tab should pop up. you can control it from here.
it might be a little slow but it works.
Remote web desktop, acts as a proxy to most of the main functions.

I need an RDP app to remote to Windows 8 PC. Most of the apps I have tried will connect but just display a blank screen. I tried iTap which connects and displays the screen nicely but the keyboard doesn't pop up automatically, you have to select it yourself from the menu bar. Once the keyboard is up it covers half the screen, usually the part you want to type in.
Ideally I'd like an RDP app that works with the S-Pen, and pops up the keyboard automatically.
Any suggestions?
The best, i know is: PocketCloud

I prefer TeamViewer it works perfekt and is free for none commercial use
TeamViewer requires an install on the PC you are wanting to remote into? Therefore it's not actually an RDP client?

PocketCloud looks cool! Thanks for posting that. Installing the free version now to try out.

Great suggestion just tried it and it even tracks the s pen!
I mostly used PocketCloud Pro too, but 2X and Jump Desktop are worth looking into too.
I use Splash top HD. Works really well for me with no lagging. The keyboard has a screen key you show it with. The pen can also be used with One Note. Not sure about other programs.
You can try jump desktop...its on promotion on play store right now...just don`t forget to disable optimized drawing in settings

Pocket Cloud by WYSE is definitely the best, worth the $15 for the pro version. Best feature I recently discovered is that it has Wake On LAN built in!
Any one of this RDP apps allow to listen audio on android instead of audio in laptop,
I mean does any app redirects audio in good conditions?
(tries 2x but there is a huge sound lag in android ...)

Jump Desktop
I'm using Jump Desktop and today was updated with a touch function for windows 8, it's working great! almost like if I have a win8 tablet. Hovering the spen works as a mouse pointer and you can left and right click by touching the screen and using the side button.
Sorry for asking but what's the difference between rdc and Splashtop like software?
OT: Splashtop works very very well for me, tried the pocket cloud but it's Very laggy. Now I just need a windows 8 pc to try its gesture functions.
I am trying to connect a wired Xbox 360 controller to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet (running Samsung's stock Android 4.1.1 ROM) via. an OTG adapter.
When I connect it, the following two messages appear:
"High-power USB device connected."
"Can not access to this device. "Connected device needs power supply."
Due to this, USB/BT Joystick Centre can't detect the controller.
Due to the poor English in the second message, I am presuming it's a Samsung ROM issue, rather than an Android/a tablet hardware issue.
Any ideas?
I have same problem with my tab 2 7.0

I also had this problem.
If you plug the joypad into the OTG connector first and then the OTG into the tablet it should work.
at least it did for me.
hope this helps.

Now USB/BT Joystick Center detects the hardware, and all keypresses. However, no other apps seem to detect any keypresses (e.g. Mupen64Plus, XBMC 12.0 BETA 2 etc.)

Yeah i had the same problem on my tablet which is rooted.
But it works perfectly on my sons which is not rooted.
I read somewhere that it had issues if luckypatcher was installed.
but never looked into it anymore as i use a ps3 pad via sixaxis controller app, which allows me to have the tablet on charge while playing.
My Tab had version 6.41 (cracked)
and my sons had 6.44 (paid for)
not sure if the issue is related to the version number or the fact my sons is not rooted and never had luckypatcher on it.
Either way, if your rooted and can get hold of a ps3 pad that is the best way imo.
Other than that make sure you have switched the IME to joypad before opening the emulator and then go to input settings and bind the controllers.
i have got epsxe, mupen, snesgnes all working with both apps, but on different tablets (1 rooted, 1 not)
hope this info helps you figure it out.

There's 1. Some ROM side changes needed (you could check old cm-11.0 source, if I remember right they had it in)
And 2. Some kernel changes needed which means you need to compile your own kernel ( https://github.com/kumajaya/android...mmit/3e18d344759a71d937163930198a4bab1630784e )
Good luck!
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/L....1/data/keyboards/Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl
You could try saving it in
system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl
Make sure giving it proper rights.
Latest Custom ROMs by me have Xpad support enabled by default in it's kernel.
Edit:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_vendor_cm/commit/918a7eaf8d0ddfad8a2c8f705417076ef74b7bbd
Here, I've coded this in a weekend when I ran out of ideas for my other project, and just wanted to share it with you
What it is?
XPlayR is a remote bluetooth gamepad (no analogs for now!) implementation to be used with the XPERIA Play.
It implements an InputMethodService in the server side to send key events to the controlled application.
As there are no non-rooted way to inject touch events into the UI, i'm not bothering to implement remote touch events (i.e. On-screen controls only games, like games that doesn't fully rely on key events). If anyone knows how to do it, then tell me!
Actually it's designed to support up to 4 clients (a.k.a. 'Controllers') via button mapping at server side (only 3 possible mappings are implemented), tested it with 2 controllers at a time, but don't know what would happen if more than 2 clients are connected, as I saw some lag because it uses bluetooth, there are some keycodes that are available only after SDK 11 (min version is 10) and maybe the device could handle only a number of key events at a time.
Installation
Install the client on the XPlay's that you would like to use as gamepads.
In the server (tablet or somethig like that), you must enable and change the input method to that of 'XPlayR Remote Pad'
Remember to change this setting back after you finish gaming because it doesn't handle text edition for now!
How to use it?
First, you must pair the clients with the server, using the device's own method to do so (i.e. Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Pair device...)
Then in the client, open the menu, and select 'refresh devices', touch the server name, and then wait for it to connect.
Remember, the fastest to connect gets controller 1!
You'll know what controller you got looking at the LEDs on the bottom of the screen.
I could've made this a paid software, but I'm too lazy to do so...
Also, I like to return something to the community because what I get from it (ROMS, KB, and so on) is far expensive than what I'm giving.
Tested it with RetroArch, DraStic, PPSSPP and Mupen64Plus AE on a Galaxy S4 i9500
Server and Client attached.
So, hope you like it

I installed both server and client in a xperia play, xperia mini, and a galaxy S4, ranging from GB up to JB. they ran fine, just some random FCs when BT was off. I need logs to search for possible bugs in other roms.
Retroarch was hard to configure because it has a somewhat complex input config, it's not very user-friendly atm
Some other emus like the *oid series doesn't correctly catch key events sent from the server, at least on my setup.

xPlay is gin2kk and it works without problem on Xperia ZL in ppsspp.

As some said, what the Xperia Play really needs is an app that allows to use it as a gamepad for PC. THAT would be awesome.

I'm very excited about buying this phone,but i have some questions Before purchase:
[please refer to the number when answering ]
1 - Does this phone works with external keyboard or gamepad/joystick?
2 - Is there any way to stream content to another screen using TV-out or some app (for smart tvs) or even any dongle?
3 - Does this phone deals with the OTG cables and manages to read and write on Flash memory? (I've seen and older post where it was read only for SD cards,but it was before the kit kat update,so, how is it going now?)
Thanks in advance for your support

I'm not 100%, but I think u read that KitKat actually removed native OTG storage support.
If that's right, you'll just have to root and use StickMount like I do on my N5
Whilst we're talking about controllers, is there any tool that lets you use your Moto G as a controller for an Android tablet.
So for example I have Fifa 14 on the Android tablet and use my Moto G as the control pad for it..
1) Yes, even can run usb soundcards
2) Yes: Wifi Direct, Miracast, DLNA, Chromecast. No: HDMI, MHL
3) Read only by default, needs root to enable writing
Next time please post your questions in the Q&A thread, thanks.

Linux on motog
Thanks everybody for support, I have one more question :
4 - Does it runs linux (ubuntu or another linux) on Virtual machine? It's a quad core and 1GB ram
the 2013 version of ubuntu I think is heavier,but maybe the 2010 or 2011 is light enough?
So guys, to make a long story short: Moto G with KITKAT DOES have support to SDCard Readers through OTG cables but ONLY for reading, right? Writing is only possible with rooted phones.
I want to buy one and this is really important for me to know.
Thanks!

This was apparently true for the Meenova device.....http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html#devList. But then today a new updated post that reads:
Moto X and Moto G Running Android 4.4
Android 4.4 KitKat update disables external USB storage access on both Moto X and Moto G. You now need to use a third party App to access the Meenova reader (or any other external card readers or USB sticks). Though now you don't need root privilege to write to USB storage on Moto G. We tested and verified the following options, all Apps available from Play Store:
Use App "Nexus Media Importer".
Use App "OTG Disk Explorer".
Use App "Total Commander" (free) and "USB Stick Plugin" (not free).
Install both Apps.
Plug-in the microSD card reader.
Start up "Total Commander" and it will show "USB Stick Plugin" as an option.
Select the "USB Stick Plugin".
If it works, let us all know.
