Hi guys I bought a Himedia h8 tv box and would like to control it with my phone, specifically for typing etc as using the remote is quite cumbersome. Is there an app to install? I have tried tablet remote but i am unable to install it from the play store on the h8 as it is not "compatible". It needs to work over wifi as there is no bluetooth on this tv box.
If its easier, can I use the IR blaster??
Also prefer to not root. My note 2 is rooted however don't wanna root my tab s or dads s4. The tv box is not rooted.
Thanks

Anyone got the Hisense H7 55" TV running VIDAA. It's a jelly bean based android OS TV. http://www.hisense-usa.com/tvs/H7/55/51
I already installed Kodi (XBMC) on it and got it going with my NAS setup...
just wondering if there are any thing else I can do to this TV.
Thanks
I got Kodi/Xbmc installed, I'm using BeyondXbmc the forked version for Android sticks installed and I'm getting stuttering issues on playback for 1channel. Is there a fix for this? I'm thinking about installing SPMC from the Play Store and trying it out instead. Also does the Hisense H7 play off an external HDD through usb? I'm curious because I have one lying around and would like to know if I can play through the usb port plug and play.

HI there. I also bought a hisense A6 vidaa os 43 inch TV that has been bugging my head. Please show me how to install a file manager and any file transfer app in this device.
Running Android is also an acceptable option
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
As the title says, I'm after one of the following:
1. the ability to emulate a Android TV/Google TV/Chromecast receiver on my android PC (I've seen this ability on other android mini PCs)
2. an app which I can use to control my Android PC in an intuitive way.
I would prefer 1 as this will allow me to use existing apps out there (Android Remote Control, Google TV) which are intuitive and well made. I've see that this is possible on other Android Mini PCs (via turning on an option in the settings menu)
I'm not interested in those bluetooth/wlan mouse/keyboard apps. I'm more after something that allows swiping, has buttons such as home etc. I'm currently using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse which works well. But I'm after something that'll utilise my phone instead. I have an Android and iPhone.
I found some apps however they have the following limitations:
[Android] Android Remote Control: Requires an Android TV
[iOS] Google TV: Requires a Google TV device
The device I have is the following: Amazon: JUSTOP K10A Quad Core Android 4.4 Kitkat TV Box Mini PC With WIFI Bluetooth RK3188 1.6Ghz x4 CPU 2GB Ram 8GB NAND Network Streamer
I can see there's an app called DroidMote available. Is that the best alternative?
Thanks in advance
I use droidmote for my mini droids, Google playstore is your friend, am well pleased with it! Uses Wi-Fi to connect to your droid so plenty stable and fast

Thanks mate. I got droidmote last night but haven't had a chance to use it. Because I have a very old android which I don't use so I would prefer to know if there's a similar app for iPhone
Not a phone app but if your device is rooted, you can install an app called webkey that lets you remote control it from another computer's Web browser. It will display the entire desktop and let you control it using your mouse and keyboard.

Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

Hi,
sorry for my Bad english.
I'm searching for a high end Android TV box with the possibility of root.
I want to connect ps3/4 controller via BT and play Emulators, watching movies via USB and want some root releated apps (maybe addblock, Substratum vor custom Roms.
What box do you prefer?
H96 Pro plus is very good Android box.
Does the H96 pro box also support touch screen monitors?
I can see this is an old thread, but I have the same question
Galaxy J3 Prime [Metro]. This does not have Screen Mirroring? I wanted to cast/mirror my phone to a Roku. YouTube seems to have something. But, I wanted to cast/mirror video in general?

theres a way to do it but you need to look on google play for an app. just search for screen mirroring apps. i have tried it myself but i could never get it to work. i have a samsung smart tv. but if you really want to put videos on the tv you would need to use a laptop or desktop with an hdmi cable. i had to do it myself but it was too much work to move my laptop around. my old desktop would work but i need a graphics card that has an hdmi port to plug in it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial is one of many. The question is does it work and how well? I want to connect to my Roku streaming media player. Not Roku TV, but a seperate device. One more question: This phone not having this function: Is it a hardware or software thing?

it could be both. because when i looked at the j7 prime it had smart view but the j3 prime didnt. i am unsure but you would need a good router and you may need root too. also don't use anything with a trial on it.
