looking forward your precious feedback:good:

I was going to give this a try but i use ubuntu. Is it possible to get it working on Linux?
The app looks pretty nice and I've been looking for a way to use my phone to control my computer but I haven't been able to get any other app working for me. Thanks for sharing your work either way. I'm surprised no one else has tired this out since it's free.

The link isn't chinese. You've probably just got some sort of weird redirection. Try it again. It worked fine for everyone else...

Oh and I forgot to mention:
The app works like a charm. Bit laggy on the PC side, but that's probably just me (Pentium IV 1x2.8GHz)
Oh, and you should get rid of those pop-up ads. They can be a bit annoying. The ones on the mobile side would do you just right

OK! just tell me how to connect your mobile to PC? I installed the app in the mobile, when open it, it has the space to enter the ip address, I entered the ip address of my wifi host (connectify's local ip address). It says connection failed.
I think I need to install the server in my PC like gmote, so I went to mnect.com and its all in chinese..

Yes, the same network and the same IP address. Still nothing... I have the information "Connection failed".

The best remote control apps for android TV-box in 2014

Hi everyone. I hope one of you can help me out here.Can you advice me the best remote control apps and launchers for my Minix neo-x7? I'm looking for the apps which can give me an opportunity of controlling my TV-box just through my phone. I've found one launcher for minix, but it was built for tablets and in some apps on my phone there appear problems with the display resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks for participating

Thank you for your attention. i tried RK app , but it is too old app (at about 4 years) and it works unstable on my phone. i've also googled and found Logitech Harmony app but there is one problem - it works only with google tv. Don't you know another remote control apps which will be interesting and useful for me?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Use DroidMote server and client. Best one there is.

Thanks a lot, if u use this one so can you tell me about its functionalyty - can i use my smartphone like a mouse or touch pad for typing a text or other information?

First of all, your minix neo x7 need to be rooted.
You can use DroidMote as mouse pad, keyboard, mic, remote for music/video and game controler. It's connected by Wifi.
These options work perfect but the game controler not so much.
If you want to see DroidMote working, Just search for DroidMote on YouTube.
Have Fun!

Thank you for your advice - but i have problem with DroidMote. When i try to install it the programm asks abot access to the root files. so smartphone block it all times((( i realy do not know how to root my fone and will it be justified action.

You need to install the DroidMote Client on your phone and the DroidMote Server on your Minix neo x8.
In my opinion only the server (Minix) need root access. If you check at the play store, at the bottom of the page, you can see the rights that the app needed. Only the server asks for 'full access of memory and phone options' and the client not.
If your Minix neo X8 is not rooted, just check on YouTube 'how to root Minix neo x8' But follow the instructions carefull.
another option is: search at dx.com for a cheap android keyboard with mousepad.

If you don't do too many crazy stuffs like gaming, 3d map zooming navigation etc.. just basic operations control nagivation then RK app version 2.02 is all you need. it works well on all my galaxy phones (s3,s4,note2,nexus) and tablet (note 10.1 2014).

If I want to play games, on my stick (GTA3, Asphalt) which controller, do you suggest, for the device?

There is a version 2.03 which i use on my Nexus 5 without any issues, the app isn't particularly polished but it gets the job done. I can post the link to the newer version if you want?

Not sure if it's the best, but I rather like Able Remote. Have to temporarily spoof the box to appear to be a Google TV to the Play Store (or obtain the app that goes on the box elsewhere and sideload) to install Able Remote for Google TV on the box and install the regular Able Remote on the phone. There are some sections in the remote that will be useless unless you're on an actual Google TV, channels for instance, but the keyboard and mouse modes work well, and there's even a launcher on the remote where you can choose what app on the box to launch. Could pin your most used ones on one of the pages of the remote.

Hello,
Can you share the Able Remote for Google TV apk, i can't find it on the internet.

I would suggets you buy a key board with touch pad, I have been struggling with my Tronfy xbmc media player a lot before i bought a keyboard.

You should go here to find this app that can use mouse in the Fire TV and other android box, and also can sideload the app from its app center, I use it for my MXQ box, nice!

Hello @levuphuong,
I tried your app. It works with my samsung smart TV after setting the device (OnePlus X) as server from settings. After some minutes it showed content in "home" and played it on the TV, although pause and transport didn't work (they showed an "unsupported" notification on the TV).
I was taking a look around for some DLNA implementation on Android, as I wanted to include a "transmit via DLNA" feature in my app; something similar to the Samsung app "smart view" or the "cast" option for media file in my OPX; simply click on the file and share it to the TV.

Black screen and no detecting of media
Appearently at startup the app is searching the lan for dlna servers. During that time there is just nothing like a black screen, and it blocks any other operation on my device. So it looks like the app crashed. It would be better to have a screen with a moving bar which informs about the state of the app. When it comes back after a long time, it discovered a dlna server on another computer in my network. But it does not show media, so nothing to play. There are even no directories for vidro, audio, and pics.
So at the moment not usable. My device is a JiaYu S3 3GB

i think that problem happens when you enable your phone as dlna server and return home (it needs time to start server in phone). May be I need to improve it.
And some server show nothing because you didn't add media to that server. Recommend to use Tverisy for PC. it is free and really good.
Thanks

OK, thanks for your answer!

Android M Developer Preview on the Nexus Player

Images should be released soon

developer.android.com/preview/download.html

Any info of what it changes on the player? Seems the changes i see won't really impact the player much, aside from maybe permissions

Here is the link
developer.android.com/preview/download.html#top
(I cant link it because I am new to XDA)

I saw somewhere on Google Plus that one of the new features for M builds of android TV is the ability to move apps to secondary storage...

Have you tested this with the HDHomeRun View app? I am wondering if I should purchase the HDHomeRun Extend or go with the cheaper HDHomeRun Connect (HDHR4-US).
Also, is anyone else having problems with SlingTV and Amazon App store crashing constantly?

My HDHR Extend works with the HDHR View app. My HDHR Dual does not work with the View app. They both work with the InstaTV app, but the app does not have a TV guide yet.

I'm wondering if with Android M is possible to move and re-organize tiles on Home screen.
If not, is there any way to hide Youtube suggestions on original Android 5.1?
Thank you

Are the wi-fi disconnection issues finally fixed in the preview build? Would love to try it out myself, but that'll have to wait and since I'd also have to set up everything from scratch again it might be easier to ask somebody who already installed the preview...

Now all we need is root so I can go back to using DroidMote and a few other apps.

Sigh , short preview.

I am going off memory here but in stock, go to settings and then to home and then in there, there is a way to turn off the suggestions for each app that will provide them. Including Youtube.

Use BubbleUPnP (free) - it's WAY better than anything. You could also try AllCast (free), a bit more basic. I use/d them on my LG G4 and Nexus 6P for connecting to Chinese DLNA products, Chromecasts, Samsung, and LG smart TVs.

I don't know yet because I don't have my phone yet, sorry. It arrives this week for me. Maybe someone else can chime in with their experience until I can test mine for you.

Came back with more information. I'm sure it's not phone fault. It's something related to WiFi router configuration. I have an Asus AC68U. Anyone got a suggestion about how to setup router? Still searching.

Just to let you know guys
I successfully mirror share my phone screen on tv screen by installing Google Home application on the phone.

I am regularly connecting to my Samsung Smart tv 2014 using mirror share without any trouble on mate 9.

I am facing the same problem. There seems to be no solution. Have you found it out?

How about mirror sharing to a pc? On my surface pro 4, you can use the Connect app to start the wireless streaming. My phone sees the SP4 in mirror sharing and attempts to connect but doesn't succeed. Any ideas how to fix it?

For the record, on my LG TV it wouldn't connect until I selected the option 'Fast connect' instead of 'normal'.

Mirror share is an Android feature and whichever TV have the compatibility should work rightaway. If both devices are connected to Same network and you launch mirror share on mate 9, your TV will be automatically displayed.
