Extract from howettl's original post:
TexTab is an SMS app for Android tablets. It allows you to connect your Android 2.1+ tablet to your Android 2.1+ phone over Bluetooth and send/receive SMS messages on your tablet as if you were sending them from your phone. I've been working on this app for some time now and I feel that it is ready for public beta testing. I encourage everybody to download and install the app on both your phone and tablet, and please provide feedback here.
App Features: - Honeycomb optimized, though not required - Push menu button to connect devices via bluetooth, with option to select a device to automatically connect to in settings - Conversation threads use your Google contact information to display contact info - Widget with button to enable/disable service, and displays connection information.
*****************************************************
edit.... after working well initially I'm now having problems connecting (an issue that the dev is aware of). Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon because the app looks promising.

installed fine, would pair with my inspire 4g but won't connect fully awesome idea, hard to inplement with every phone I imagine. I'm currently running a cynogenmod rom but may try this later with another rom.
Working silky smooth on my TF and my XT720 2.2
Couldn't find a way to close the program stayed active. Is there a way to logout without going to applications and stopping it. Oh and the desire HD is running cm 7 latest build

If you use the widget, there's a button to turn it on and off
Running this with my Galaxy S 4g. A bit of connection issues, but I already like it more than syncsms since there is no dropbox to deal with.
*** REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS ***
*** NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.2 ***
BlueCtrl is an open source Bluetooth input device emulator that can control remote devices. This means that you can use the touchscreen and keyboard of your Android device to control other devices which support Bluetooth.
Because this app is using the Bluetooth input standard, it supports various operating systems without any special server software. It has been successfully tested with the following systems:
Android
iOS
Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu...)
Mac OS X
PlayStation 3
Windows
Please note that if you want to use this app with Microsoft Windows, you probably need to disable a conflicting Android service. For more information look at:
https://github.com/RonsDev/BlueCtrl/wiki/Bluetooth-input-service-conflict
This app requires root permissions because it needs direct access to the Bluetooth adapter. Another restriction is that it is only compatible with a specific Bluetooth stack that is called BlueZ, which is used on many but not all devices with a Android version smaller 4.2.
What's new
New system specific touchpad gestures
The gestures are now optimized for the chosen remote device system. Linux and Windows systems also got a new setting for the gesture mode. So, for example, if you are using Windows 8 you can configure the appropriate gesture mode to enable the special Windows 8 edge gestures.
New interactive touchpad tutorial
The interactive tutorial will explain all gestures for the current system and can be activated via the menu.
New menu item for composing text
This is especially helpful if you want to write a longer text because you can keep your eyes on the device and see what you write and it also allows you to correct the text before it is send.
Voice input can be corrected before sending
Voice input will be displayed in a edit box before it is send so that you are able to correct misinterpreted words.
New "Stay awake" setting
This setting prevents that the device is going into standby and disconnects the connection. To save some energy the screen will however be dimmed after 30 seconds of inactivity.
New "Scroll sensitivity" setting
You can long press the keyboard button to change the input method

Hey,
This app sounds great, running a rooted SGS2 running XXLPB ICS (4.0.3). Have installed and all appears fine, trying to manipulate my PS3 with it nothing happens... Does it only work for custom OSs on PS3? or does it work with the standard PS3 'XMB'?
Cheers
P.s. I realise that I have used a very large amount of acronyms... many apologies, but I estimate to have saved myself a small age in not writing them all out!
Works well ! Thanks for this apk.
I try it with another android device and it runs.

Could you send me the log message of the error?
What IDE do you use to build this app? I'm new to Android and so far I've just used Eclipse. In your source code I didn't see gen folder with R class.
I also met problem when connecting two devices (two Android phones). after paring, I pressed "connect" button then I received a message "Connection refused. The remote device is busy or the devices aren't correctly paired".
Is there a phase to enter the key used to pair two devices? If yes, I didn't see that phase.

The app is build with the Ant build tool on the command line (see the README) but I use Eclipse to develop the Java code. The gen folder will be automatically generated if you build the project.

Before you press the “connect” button you should wait a little until the other device shows that the devices are paired (sometimes the “connect” button is enabled too early because Android reports that the devices are paired even if the pairing process hasn't finished yet). Before that you should normally see a pairing request dialog or notification where you enter or confirm the key.
Thaks alot
Out of all the applications o the market yours is the only one that works on all systems. If you want to post a donation version on the android market I'll gladly donate to help you improve your work.
Hey thanks for the app. Its amazing. I was the first post but I got one thing that I was wondering if you could look into.. I have two devices. A htc g2. And a Samsung galaxy player 5.0. Both rooted but g2 on cyanogenmod. And galaxy player on stock. This app works on my g2 but the galaxy player gets this error. The application encountered a problem and cannot continue (error -53). Please help!

If you are familiar with ADB, it would be helpful if you could try to start the app again and send me the result of the following command:
Code:

Amazing App! Though I connected my phone to another Android phone and wondering what gesture is the Home button.
2 Fingers is the Back button
3 Fingers is the Menu button
Also I tried connecting it to my iOS device and I get the "Connection Refused" message. On my iOS device it just keeps on trying to connect? Has anyone else got this problem?

Have you seen the "More information" part on the "Add device" screen and followed the instructions?
2 finger swipe left worked for the Android Home
And I got connected to my iOS device but no pointer (not your fault, **** iOS fault). Thanks man, really helped me with my Mac, great app!
Btstack
hi guys! great app! I wish I could use it! lol Actually... just tried it on my macbook pro... works great!
Okay so you say it can connect to iOS but no pointer? But the BTstack tweak in cydia is supposed to solve that issue.
However I can't connect to my ipad 2. here's what I sent to the developer of BTstack mouse:
"Hi, I've tried to find a solution for a while now, but to no avail. I go to connect the mouse and it just sits on the "mouse selector" page.
I have an ipad 2 (wifi only) (not the ipad2,4 either) jailbroken ios 5.1.1
Everytime I try to pair. it wont. Then the app blacks out and freezes my ipad. I'm then forced to do a hard reboot."
now... your app warns me that another Bluetooth input service is active on my device T-MOBILE HTC G2 cyanogen mod 7.
I click the link to read more info, but it doesn't really help me out. I would love an answer. maybe a how-to only have one bluetooth input service running on the G2 at a time? I really want to use my phone as a mouse, I already have an apple wireless keyboard that I use with my ipad a lot and would love the addition of a mouse. (I'm currently NOT trying to pair both at the same time.. fyi)
So if someone could help me out, this could be a big step in bridging the gap between ios and android and getting them to actually play nice together.
Thank you for your time!
Hi I had a g2 and I kinda have a ipad 2 and it worked flawlessly. What works is don't try to connect them from outside the app.
And if you need more in-depth help just ask

NFC pairing is in BETA state currently. Send me an email if you experience problems.
New notifications that display progress, file size, current transfer speed and estimated transfer time
Hints for QR code and NFC
Added support for Android 2.2 (Tested on ZTE Blade)
Now continues sending when device's screen is turned off or the app is closed to background
Loads of bug fixes:
Error message on devices where the app could not get an IP
Multiple files should now work
Should now correctly restore WiFi Tethering
Menu works for devices without HW menu button
Progress correctly shown for files bigger than 4GB
Features:
Up to 20x speed of bluetooth
The receiver is device-independent
No need for a common Wi-Fi connection
No data usage for file transfers
The receiver does not have to have the app installed
Send single or multiple files
Easy to setup:
Use QR codes to allow the receiver to easily connect to the wifi and open the receiving URL
Facts:
Fast File Transfer
Developer: Florian Draschbacher
Price: Free
Platform: Android 2.2 and higher
Play Store Link:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer
PLEASE NOTE:
The app does not work on:
Motorola Razr devices (Restarts phone; Problem in Motorola's Android implementation)
Most HTC One devices
HTC EVO devices
Some Galaxy Y devices
Devices that don't have a WiFi Tethering setting, such as the Nexus 7
These problems on specific devices are caused by restrictions and changes of manufacturers or carriers that make it impossible for the app to access WiFi tethering. Please don't write bad reviews mentioning the app does not work on a device listed above.
Please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions for future updates!
Great App, is there any way to use it without it messing up my wifi hotspot settings (the restore option doesn't work).

Lovely App! Particularly useful for Nexus 4 owners!
Hi Florian,
Really like your app - it has a particular attraction to owners of the Nexus 4 (with it's somewhat limited storage capacity)
I've just posted about it over at modaco though unfortunately I can't post the link here due to XDA's posting restrictions.
Hopefully this will spark a bit more (much deserved) interest
Great work!

As mentioned in the app description on Google Play, the app does not work on Motorola's Razr devices. Sorry for that. It seems Motorola have a major bug somewhere in their WiFiManager implementation.
Excellent app
Works fine on Samsung Galaxy SL (GT-I9003) running stock 2.3.6 GB. Getting speeds in excess of 1600 kbyte/s.
Requests to dev:
1. Show file size, speed, estimated time remaining during transfer.
2. Include a "cancel" button.
3. Enable batch transfers (queuing multiple file transfers).
4. Include a notification in the pull down menu with details of the transfer.
5. Consider implementing it like Bluetooth file transfer. The app must be installed on both devices. Pair/authenticate the devices, then select the file and the receiver device. Transfer will start immediately. The app running in background in the receiver device will detect the incoming file(s) and transfer them, without user intervention. Of course, include an option to "ask always". For non-Android devices, there's web based transfer/QR code.
Thanks a lot!

I'm planning to include a receiving part right within the app, where you would only have to enter Name and PW of the sender once and can receive with one click later.

Developing an app that allows transfers to any WiFi device was one of my original goals, so of course I will always keep a way to receive without any special app. The receiving part I mentioned would just connect to the WiFi for you and open the web browser automatically.
BTW, some One V users report that the app does not work for them. Does it work on your One V? If so, which ROM are you running?
AW: [App] Fast File Transfer - The WiFi Direct For The Rest Of Us
Just discovered your app and have to say it's brilliant. I've always been searching for an app allowing me to send files via wifi between to devices using the Hotspot functionality. You just made my day the only thing that could improve your app is a holo design and the already mentioned nfc feature

Hi. I broke my galaxy nexus screen. Is there any way i can emulate screen on my computer?
I REALLY want to use helium to make few backups :/
its rooted, and in usb debugging (if i remember correctly).
Samsung offers a feature with these laptops called sidesync. Not sure if it would work for you since you most likely have to initiate the pairing with the phone itself.
