If I had a nickel for every app in the play store that let's us android users control our laptop one way or another, I would have more than a nickel. So, out of all the apps on the play store that do this, I can't seem to find one that all allows the LAPTOP to control the ANDROID phone. So apps like Wifi Mouse would not work, I would want the opposite of what that does, so that my laptop would control my android. Any apps/programs out there that you guys have used before or have heard of? Wouldn't it be easier to make a pc program to control an android, than the other way around (that's what I thought...)?

Android SDK and ADB with the device emulator. Not sure that it would work over network tho.

Yeah, I need it to work over network for what I want to do to, or else no point in doing this.

Air droid won't let me use the keyboard keys of my laptop to have control over my android though. That's what I'm trying to do.

Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237
Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.
very handy!
n4 > cheapcast > note 10.1 attached to sony bravia :highfive:
Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.
Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again
Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.
Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!
A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.
concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv
This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Reading this might help, Turn Your Extra Android Device into a Chromecast Receiver with CheapCast.
its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

Anyone know if this works on an unrooted google tv?
Awesome
Thanks alot!
I was just wondering if such service will be available on other platforms like, Linux or Windows. So it can run on HTPCs.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.
Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?
Congrats on making it to the frontpage of XDA News
Is it possible to control the access of a computer to wifi on android device?
For example i want to kill the connection of a specific computer connected to my wifi using my android device?
u mean like control a com(whatever the propose ) using our device?
if you're sharing same wifi,can use splashtop from playstore,then dc it using remote control
if you're outside(using other network),can try teamviewer apps,then dc the com using remote too.
if you mean u wanna gain control over bandwidth/block specific computer with you android,i think that kinda hard.

Download BETA version of VLC Mobile Remote App
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I know that there are many remote apps available for Android to control VLC player on your PC. But all of their UX look/feel expired and most of them are half baked. So I did build one called VLC Mobile Remote with a good interface, which works better than any of the VLC remote apps. Give it a try (it's free) and let me know your suggestions/feedback.
Screenshots
Download VLC Mobile Remote from Google Play
Check out the demo video
.
NEW !!! Check out our site: vlcmobileremote.com
Be a BETA tester: Those who are willing to help us to improve the app by reporting bugs and suggestions, also if you don't mind to use buggy app , click here to download BETA version of VLC Mobile Remote App
Thank you
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.
Thanks

Looks good i'm downloading now to give it a try, i'll post feedback.
Awesome app and very good looking. Better than anything I've used/installed recently. Thanks for this, will provide feedback as I use it.
Can you make it for google tv???
Hey, I would totally love to be part of the beta for this :3 I cannot seem to connect because my computer is on Ethernet not wifi though it keeps saying to make sure my pc is on wifi >.<
@[color=green][u]AHOME[/color][/u] and @[U][COLOR="Green"]adarshurs[/COLOR][/U],
Thank you for this app, it looks really nice! I am testing it out right now.
This app is really good, thanks a lot!
Damn, a lot easier to use and setup than all other ones I've tried and never liked or got to work. Will definitely be using this. Great work

Selecting/toggling audio device is possible, I'll definitely add that feature
Oh, this is SO helpful!! Working perfectly. Nice job.
Feature request: remember last opened folder. Very handy if watching series. Because right now every episode I have to navigate back to the series folder. In my case it's a pretty big hassle. Y:/AVIs/Complete Series/<series name>/S<season number>/episodes here.
Get the point? I tried 'save folder' but didn't work
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
Very nice app! I like the interface and I'm amazed at how fast it is. I'd also "like" to point something out: The folder where all our video files are has a hashtag (#) in front of it so that is the first folder. Unfortunately, the app doesn't open it. If I remove the #, I can open the folder and play everything. Is this something you can/want to change?
EDIT: Changed the sign in front of the folder to a plus sign (+), it works now. Thank you for this awesome app!
I have to admit, the UI is really really nice. Nice work
The only "issue" I have on my tab is that the buttons are not that sharp (as you can see in the screenshot). Other than that, no issues so far
If you need some more info on my setup (screen res, dpi,...), just let me know
I got it.

Hi,
I don't know how you are trying to access the saved folders I had tested it, it was working. Anyway to access them just tap the button which has folder ? icon on it (in browse screen's right bottom). It will open a dialog with all the saved folder.
I think I should highlight it or you have any suggestions?
If it's not working please let me know.
Thank you for your feedback

Sure, I'll send you a private message.
After searching around, I couldn't find any place people were really talking about these things... So here we go.
After finding out about the AirTV player and adapter from Dish, I purchased one. Here's what I've learned.
The adapter is a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-955Q. I tested it on my laptop and it works just fine. Best Buy sells that model for $59. Dish sells them for $30. Bonus.
I haven't tried sideloading the Amazon VOD app, but that's next on my list. Also, hoping that AT&T will release a DirecTVNow Android TV app soon. My question is, when they do, is there any way for Dish to block it on their AirTV box? Considering it is their direct competition. Or can we just root this thing and do it anyway? I'm thinking about just keeping the AirTV adapter and getting a SHIELD and going that route.
Anybody else messing around with these things?
Can you tell me what chipset it uses and how much RAM and storage space it has?
CPU: 4x ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1200 MHz
64 bit ARM
Ram: 1GB
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------
They don't have any factory images available, but I got word that they are planning to push an update OTA by end of February.
We'll have to grab that when it's downloaded.
You can access recovery by plugging it in and holding down the "find remote" button.
Android recovery
Technicolor/uiw4010ech
6.0.1/MUF05/1.0.2.111816
Then you can reboot to bootloader, which then just starts up Android.
You can disable the sling app in settings and it won't then auto launch.
I like the remote of n the device. It automatically integrates with your TV using infrared. I am going to try it on the Nexus player to see how compatible it is.
Can one of you pull the sling apk from your airtv box? TIA
**edit
Guess that was too difficult for you guys, thanks for nothing

Could you get the sling apk for this. I'm having scaling issues with SD content on Android TV version. Want to see if this is any better.
Stock Rom option
I'm curious if it's possible to get rid of the built in interface and move to stock android tv. And still allow us to use the OTA dongle

I was wondering the same thing, and how close this is / can be to vanilla Android TV. Thinking of taking advantage of the SlingTV promotion to get one.

I have been using it for about a month and purchased because of the Sling promotion (Model UIW4010ECH). Works pretty well and has a good tv guide interface that combines the Sling and OTA channels. I am very annoyed that it blocks several apps including xfinity and amazon video. I'm trying to get amazon to work. I have ES file explorer installed and pulled the amazon apk from my nexus. Tonight, I plan to spend some time tinkering. If there is anyone with advise, I'm all ears.
I downloaded the Amazon instant video for android from API dot.com and side loaded it. it was version 4.1.20 which I think is the apk for Sony smart tv and after reset of airtv player , it has worked fine.
DirectTV app for tablets works, until I click on a channel to watch....lol

Has anyone figured out how to record OTA channels on the AirTV? I got the tuner through the Sling promotion and it pulls in all my local channels fine in both the Sling app and the Live Channels app. I put a 32gb USB thumb drive in the second USB to test if I could record anything but there does not seem to be an option to do that. My understanding is that in the Live Channels app guide shows that can be recorded should say something like "DVR recordable" in their listing. I didn't see that for any of my OTA channels.
I also tried sideloading the Plex Server app from a ShieldTV just for ****s and giggles but that wouldn't even install.
Has anyone had any more luck than me?

I'm also curious about this.. I have seen a couple reviews indicating they have disabled any kind of external USB support.. however, they do say on their website, "OTA DVR coming soon". That leads me to believe that they are looking into allowing external storage but that that haven't made it that far yet, which makes me sad.
I'm going to try and see if it can locate my NAS drive and get a 3rd party tuner app to record shows to it over my network. Other than that I don't think there's any way to get it working unless someone roots it and gets USB storage working natively.
Sorry if I am not knowledgeable on these things. I want to download and enable the apk for setvnow on the AirTV. Right now it only allows apps from the play store. I need to access the apk via a website. If i can then this box might just be what i need to combine IPTV and OTA TV.
Maybe the wrong spot, but I was trying to get the USB tuner to work on my Nexus. No such luck. I plugged it into my window 10 comp and had to manually download the drivers to get it to work since it's a Haupaugge (sp) adapter. Any idea to get it to work on the Nexus player. Those adapters are cheaper than it's own ones. Thanks
Edit. Just a thought. Been playing with it (Xbox one, etc) I wonder if dish blocked any device from Auto detecting it to find drivers??
