[Q] Using my tablet as a monitor for a new computer build (?) - General Questions and Answers

Okay this may sound silly but here it goes!!
I'm about to build a new computer, but I only have one desktop monitor . . . and it's attached to the crappy computer soon to be landfilled heh.
If I have to I can of course disconnect my huge NEC widescreen monitor and haul it over to my bench, but what would be too cool would be to rig my little tablet in some way that it displays the activity of the new computer as it takes its first boot.
Because if it doesn't boot, then I'm going to need online help from the home-built forums to troubleshoot what I've connected incorrectly. I would like to have both computers at my disposal as I am building, in other words. I have never done this before, but I have (2nd Gen. DSL) WIFI here at home and I can too easily picture me hauling my monitor back and forth NOT! lol
I saw the free Chrome app (Chrome Remote) but . . . I'm not sure that would work on a new build such as mine because I won't even have partitioned my drives let alone installed Chrome.
Any suggestions? Can this even work? Which Play Apps would I use?
Thanks guys!

I wonder if the hook can be cut...
get ready for a thread revival ladies and gentlemen...
has anyone gotten this to work??? i tried using my little ps3 keyboard with my nexus, device isn't seen by the phone... i read the manual for the device... to pair it with the ps3 you have to plug it in through usb... i don't see a way to get it to broadcast itself wirelessly... typing in the terminal emulation window on android sucks...
::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::::
figured it out... you need to hold down the blue button on the top left shoulder while you turn the keyboard on... you also need to have an app the will detect the keyboard as an input device... i found one called BlueInput... works like a champ!!!

[App] Rendezvous Reminder- Seeking your feedback

Hello Everyone,
I am Omkar Bapat and want to present my idea for your feedback.
Rendezvous is an Android app concept that grew out of a personal need. As I go about spending my day at work I often recollect different tasks that I would like to do when I connect my Android phone to my PC via USB cable. However I often forget these tasks when I connect to the PC.
These tasks are things like backing up the data files of different Android apps that I use, the songs and videos I want to download on my phone, cleanup of my memory card, saving the photos etc etc.
So I thought of creating a simple app that will popup everytime I am connected via USB cable and show me the pending tasks. I have created 2 prototype screens. I am seeking the feedback of the Android community before I proceed further. Looking forward for your comments!
1) The main popup screen that fires up when USB is connected

LG Suite won't work for me

I decided to download and install PC suite to backup my phone data to laptop but I seem to have hit a snag LG suite doesn't seem to be displaying anything right. I'm getting no letters except 1 word saying *null and a Number which seems to be some kinda version but no other text. When I hover over the gear thing a small box appears but there is nothing in it just a empty white floating box. When I run the update agent it finds my phone and mass storage works just the lg suite that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing some font pack or something since it only seems to be text that's missing?
I'm running windows 7 64 bit would this make a difference? According to LG site windows 7 is supported
Here is a screen shot

Decided to try running the program today and it worked which makes no sense as I haven't changed anything I'm just happy I can finally sync data with my laptop and do this update which apparently got released the other week.

[App][Beta][4.0+] DeskShot - Capture your Desktop from your phone

Hi everyone,
Have you ever seen a screenshot of a Computer, but captured with a smartphone camera? Do you hate them as much as I do? Well now I got a simple but efficient solution for this problem.
Introducing DeskShot:
DeskShot allows you to create a Screenshot of your computer with your smartphone with the press of a button. All it needs is a small java program running on your computer and thats it. At the moment you can only capture your primary screen and only the whole screen but I'm going to add a way to capture only a portion of a screen.
The App is in a beta state right now. To install it either download it from the attachments section below or join the Google+ Community (plus.google.com/communities/109206966394527976430) and register as a tester to get automatic updates.
The backend requires Java 7 or higher to run and can be downloaded from the attachments. It defaults to port 2555 but I will add configuration options soon.
I would like to hear whether the app is working for you too and I would love to hear feature requests or improvements in the UX.

Android desktop mode : a much under-estimated feature

I feel like android desktop modes are really much under-estimated. From android 10 release, all media only talk about foldable phone support, 5G support, dark mode (ok this one is actually pretty cool) but nothing about desktop mode.
But this feature is just so powerfull. Why do you use a computer anymore? Using only one device is so much more convenient and less expensive...
Ok currently there is still one issue that is the software end. If you need a windows-only software you'r stuck... But are you really? If you use a cloud computer like shadow.tech you can get a remote windows desktop with all the windows soft you could ever want!
I made Keydock, a docking station in the form of a keyboard, that gives a really great docking desktop experience.

I would love to hear what you think of it! You can see more pictures on Mod edit: Link removed
I guess it looks sick, not sure why I would use it though.
