[Q] Receive calls on PC, PC Android integration. Is this possible? - Other Tools & General Discussion

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry if anyone has asked asked the same before
I'm new to android development, learning the basics. I recently had a question, weather PC and android integration like the one found in Yosemite and iOS8 , is possible to be developed. Is it possible only using root or is it not possible at all? Is it possible with the current available API?
I do know about notification pushing, like push bullet and other apps out there. They also have quick reply for some apps. But is phone call ability possible in a similar fashion.
Do put in your inputs on this.

I have been working on something similar, from a different angle...

[Q] Possibly switching from Android, have some OS/app questions

I really love my Android phone, but I also love the WP7 interface and I think it has great potential, especially after Mango has been released.
Since I am on Verizon, I am possibly looking to get the HTC Trophy, but I wanted to first ask some questions I hope you all can answer. I apologize in advance if some of these are stupid questions, but any help you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.
1) Is there a good Remote Desktop app for WP7 that uses native Remote Desktop functionality? i.e., I don't want to have to install a VNC-type server on my machine for it to connect to. I also want to be able to set the machine resolution, much like the Windows-desktop based RD application
2) Microsoft Exchange app - the native Android mail app sucks, so I purchased Touchdown for Exchange, which is a MUCH better MS Exchange client. Does WP7 have something similar? Or, is their native Exchange mail app good? (I want to be able to view HTML emails, and if possible, send HTML emails)
3) Flash- I know Flash is currently not supported. From what I read, Mango was supposed to bring Flash to the platform, but I see that it isn't the case. Will Flash ever be supported? Or, is there a way to hack the phone so that we could add support for Flash?
4) Sideloading apps - Android allows to sideload apps without unlocking/rooting the phone. Can this be done with WP7, or do we have to unlock/jailbreak the phone first? I read somewhere that up to 10 apps can be sideloaded... any info on this would be great.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
1) There is only 1 at the moment and it's called Remote Desktop and it's a little pricey at $5.99. There's only a few reviews on it so far but people seem to like it.
2) The default email client is excellent and can view html emails with no problems at all. There isn't any rich text editing when composing an email.
3) We can only guess but I don't see it happening. I don't know of any browser that supports flash and hacking IE9 to support it is extremely unlikely. Perhaps one day it will happen but don't expect it any time soon.
4) You have to dev unlock the phone to sideload apps. There are free methods or the official method by paying Microsoft $99 for a dev account.

SAbnzbd for android (not remote control of server)

Hiya folks,
I'm sorry if this is old ground, but I'm desperate to find sabnzbd on android so i can use it on my S3. I've read many posts, with confused replies regarding remote control access etc.
I was using isabnzbd on my iPad, works great and I simply want the same functionality on android, is this possible? What are the best solutions out there for downloading directly to your device?
Many thanks for clearing this up.

[Q] Android application question

Hi,
I am pretty new to Android development and wondering if it is possible to create an application that allows a user to connect and send AT commands to a device remotely from a desktop and if so, point me in the direction on where to start on this.
Also, would the device have to be rooted to send/receive the commands?
Thanks

[Q] Android to Windows: apps question

Recently there has been a few teasers regarding Windows 10 for PC, Tablet, and Phones. Pretty soon the Galaxy S6 will be coming out and since I'm already a Samsung customer, my initial thought is to go with that... But when I think about windows 10 and its possibilities, it makes me reconsider. So I have some questions. Please understand that I know Windows 10 is vague so far, but hopefully some of my questions can be answered based on existing windows phones/tablet
One of the strongest reasons I'm considering Windows 10 OS (PC, Phone, and Tablet) is full immersion and connectivity. Currently Im able to use my Samsung Tablet and phone to completely control my computer, transfer files and connect in other ways. Since my computer doubles as my entertainment center, this is necessary.
Question 1.) It sounds like if you get a Windows 10 Tablet you'll be able to use the Tablet as a secondary controller and screen for XBox One. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Is the feature also expected to be part of Windows 10 Phones?
Question 2.) Up until now Ive avoided Windows 8(.1) and iOS like the plague... so I'm only familiar with Android. Android has allowed customization to the screen layout with app shortcuts and widgets. They apps and widget are how I control my computer like I was talking about earlier. That said, does anyone know how many apps are cross platform? and I just mean a general ballpark idea based on experience, like 60% or 85% or something. Is there a way to find out if a particular app is available on windows?
Question 3.) For now, I'm sure most answers to this next question will be speculation, but does anyone know if the screen customization for windows 10 phones will be as it is for current windows 8(.1) phones? Will they allow shortcuts and widgets instead of rubix cube tiles?

[Q] Newbie: simplest way to make Phone apps Android TV compatible

Hi - I'm a newbie and frankly knows next to nothing about Android app development. There are lots of great apps out there that would be great to use on the big screen via Android TV (the only device out there now is the Nexus Player), but unusable on Nexus Player because they requires either gesture or mouse. This leads me to think that there must be a relatively easy way to take the APK and update the code so that I can use the d-pad remote for the Nexus Player.
Can anyone point me the way?
Thanks!
Frank
