What I'm looking to do is control my android devices from a pc using builtin bluetooth, or a dongle. I'd like to use a laptop or similar to control my android device using the keyboard and mouse. Googling around, from linux I found the hidclient application which looks like it might work, and on the mac 1keyboard is a commerical software to do this.
Just wondering if anybody else can share experience or recommendations.

Exist software for desktop (if possible for linux, use debian) that once connect the android to the PC by USB you can emulate the entire operating system live? And then use the phone from the PC without taking it in their hands??
For my old omnia, i used this for windows mobile:

also Cyanogenmod 6 includes bluetooth HID support, so you can use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the phone.
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.

I simply want to control my T-800 tablet from my 6P phone. Mostly I just want to control songs and volume. I can’t find anything that works.
There is a TeamViewer Host that runs on the Tablet but none of their own TeamViewer clients can not connect and I have not been able to get them to help me.
There also seems to be a VNC Host for Android but it needs a rooted device just to try it out.
Such a simple thing on the desktop, is there nothing that just works for Android devices?
Bump.

Have you found any solution?
I just purchased the above device planning to use it to replace my Raspberry Pi Zero W in my media system. I have been controlling the pi via SSH from my laptop and have an sftp share to it for file transfers from my laptop. I mostly made use of vlc on the pi this way, which worked quite well.
Obviously I will usually be using the remote with the device when I want to select and view video content. But when I am working with music and internet radio it is more convenient to do so from my laptop where I have an actual keyboard.
Obviously the TVision environment differs from the Raspbian running on the pi, so I doubt that I can take the same approach with it. I am working now to take advantage of the fact that it is a Chromecast device, which allows me to manage internet radio from my laptop via stream2chromecast. What I still need is a way to load media onto the device from my laptop, preferably via a share of some sort, and to be able to initiate or change playback there from the laptop.
I have installed vlc on the device, but from what I can tell there is no support in this version for using one of its remote control interfaces included. Of course this is the android version of vlc, so even if I can install and use an SSH connection to the device I don't know how to interact with it from the terminal window.
Has anyone worked with this device and found a way to do what I want to with it? Has anyone taken a similar approach with another Google TV device that should work here?
