Hi guys,
Is there any way to connect a Hero or Vega (or any android device for that matter) to an external touch screen monitor and control the phone/tablet via the large monitor?
I understand it is pretty easy to watch movies etc on a bigger monitor but I am wanting to actually use the touch screen input of the monitor to control the device.
My aim is to use this as an entertainment system on a 22" (anything over 15") touch screen in a VW campervan conversion project smile.gif
Any help hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
Wag
look on ebay for touch screen addons for laptop or computer monitors most just emulate a usb mouse so if the android tablet or whatever your using supports usb mouse support like some of the viewsonic gtablet roms do i woul think it would work pretty good if you could find one for the size screen you want.
something like this but for the size screen you want http://goo.gl/4GdgT
You need to hack it
I had a similar idea and one of the Touch screen panels as mentioned by gator2k83. It did not work that way as he proposed.
The touch screen works with absolute positions. A mouse is relative position.
You need to hack it the bad way.
See my blog post about it:

If anyone has other experiences, let me know.
HP 23TM touch screen monitor and android tablets
Would the new HP 23TM touch screen monitor work with a 7 inch tablet as an external touch screen monitor? The table has a hdmi out and a micro usb out which could be hooked up with OTG cable?
Thanks.
It would be great to be able to do that

Its been 4 years since the original post, so I'm curious if its any easier now. I would like to control my Samsung Galaxy S3 (MHL compatible) via a MHL 3.0 cable and this touchscreen. Any ideas/advice?
There are plenty of apps that let you control your PC with your android phone/tablet, but is there something that lets you control your tablet with a PC keyboard/mouse?
I was smart enough to buy the EEE pad TF101 without the dock, and ASUS was so smart that they put the USB in on the dock.. (Anyone want to trade ? )
I found this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/use-your-pc-as-your-android-keyboard-with-pcbtkeyboard/ but it requires bluetooth which my desktop doesn't have.
Any tips? Thanks in advance.
have you tried using BT dongle on your desktop ?
I have http://www.iiyama.com/gb_en/products/prolite-th6564mis-1/ this for my dongle CX-919 but the problem is in Touch. The touch is not working. I got a touch activation software for Linux to install in the dongle but I don´t know, how can I install that in my dongle.
If someone please five me a solution for it?
thanks in advance!
Hello,
i have a 4.2.1 android phone with broken digitizer. I have used adb to control it via pc and attached the bluetooth mouse ( no OTG makes life hard ). I would like to use my phone as a "Tv smarterer" i have a simple miracast device(support dlna also).
The problem i have is that if i want to use miracast it forces me to disable bluetooth and that means no control for me. Is there any way to keep them both on?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there and sorry for this late response,
Please give us more details about your device.
Thanks
Hello everyone, I have been reading and respecting you for a long time.
They gave me a Mediacom tablet with Android to repair or throw away as a favor, I'm not asking for money and I'm not a professional, just self-taught. It basically had half the screen where the touch screen didn't work, so in addition to trying with the "pizoelectric" lighter as seen on youtube and various apps, I decided to try replacing the touch screen as well. Once done, the problem remained as it was. I tried to do the factory reset and now I'm stuck in the installation because I can't click on the buttons to finish the installation. I used to at least rotate the screen and run it on the good half. But now I'm stuck in the installation. I also tried to take a usb dongle to attach a mouse to it, but it doesn't see it, also tried on the smartphone, but it doesn't see it anyway. 1. Confirmed that it is not damage to the touch screen. Can I finish installation via adb shell? What do you think is the problem? is it software? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
It's hard to advise anything without writing the model name of the device. Adb host will not work when it is not enabled in the device.

The model is smarpad iyo 10, but I doubt it serves as information, since it is probably an Android 9 problem. I thought it was possible at boot to enable a shell and complete the installation or maybe rotate the screen.
Thank you for answering.
The Rockchip A55 RK3566 processor in the Mediacom IYO 10, supports USB OTG, so a mouse connected to an OTG adapter should work.
Which adapter did you use?
The touch screen for the Mediacom IYO 10 is not outstandingly complicated and has no chipset in it. So the touch is controlled by the mother or daughter board electronics, which you probably did not replace when you replaced the screen.

The Otg adapter is from Tek-one to-g-15, it may be that it doesn't work, in fact it doesn't work on the mobile either, I try to change it.
As you said, the touch had no chip, just a connector to the motherboard.
An information that I have omitted may be useful, at the beginning the tablet also had another problem, in some circumstances that I have not explored, the screen or the resolution was resized in half, presumably in the working half. Almost immediately the scaling issue was fixed by randomly activating a gui option in hidden developer mode.
Now, excluding the Otg that I'm going to change, do I have any possibility of continuing the installation via shell?
Thanks for the precious information.
You probably don't have TWRP so you won't do anything with the build.prop file.
The lack of a shell is the result of not enabling debugging in the developer options, available only after starting android.
Look for a working OTG adapter.
Maybe this thread will help you.
