[Q] android connectivity with iPad? (use android as remote?)

I have the HTC G2 (Desire Z) on t-mobile. I just purchased a 32GB iPad 2 last week and am waiting for it to arrive soon. I want to use it's video out features a lot with my TV and I also have an apple bluetooth keyboard for typing and stuff.
My main question is are there any apps that allow an android phone to be used as a remote or mouse for the iPad??
Just any apps that allow android and iOS to play nice together would be great to know about. (and I'm not really asking about games, more so productivity apps or remote control type apps) Thanks!
p.s. Please no fanboy/troll comments please. I seriously am just trying to get the most out of what I have purchased. I love android and I love the iPad 2, and I would love some input on making them play nice together as I can't find anything online besides tablet comparisons

Just found this:

I'm thinking using it to browse your phone on the ipad? Could work? Havnt tried it as I haven't received my ipad yet. But I think its worth a look.

I would love to have media controls for my iPad on my Moto X, so I could control my Youtube app. It's that possible?

I Need Tablet Help!

Hey guys,
I first wanted to say, I have heard nothing but great things about this site and the people of these forums. That’s what brought me here today!
About two weeks ago I bought a Nook Tablet. I didn’t really want a full tablet because of the price and only wanted to do a few things with it. After playing around with it for several hours I realized that I had to pay for apps I got free on my phone, I was able to sideload a few apps but didn’t block automatic updates so now my Nook is running 1.4.1 or whatever it is, so now I have to use the Nook app store.
So this leads me to my real question. What is a good android tablet I can watch Netflix, play some basic games ( Angry Bird, Farm Story, etc ) , read books using ( nook and kindle apps ) and have the ability to play around and not be so limited.
I was looking at the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
Are these two good tablets? Sadly I haven’t had a chance to play around with them in person yet and only have until tomorrow to return my Nook. I was very happy with the speed of the Nook Tablet so if these are just as fast or faster then ill be happy. Please help me out guys, I’m open to other tablets etc. I’m just looking to keep it under $400 if possible.
Thanks you so much guys,
Glen

Nobody?

You could root your nook tablet then you would get the android market.

I have the Acer iconia a500 tablet and it is great. It can do movies and apps like Netflix great. Plus plenty of games.. and books.
Also you can get them for around 330$
I would also suggest rooting your nook to allow for the android market.

Samsung 7.0+ is the best 7 inch tablet avlible.
Kindle fire is great for a lot of stuff, and crazy cheap, but isnt really android, its just Android based. Still, if it fits your needs its great.
Cheapest full android (honeycomb) 7" tablet is the Acer a100

Good facts, and straight to the point. If I could thank you on the app I would..

HP TouchPad is a 10" tablet that will run CM7 and dual boot webOS. It ships with webOS. ICS is almost ready, just tying up loose ends I guess. They run ~$220 on eBay and online classifieds. 1.2Ghz dual core, 1GB RAM, 16GB onboard storage. Check out the TouchPad forum, very active. The TouchPad has sold more than any other tablet, except the iPad. They have been discontinued, but there is a huge user and dev base, so they are far from dead.

just want to point out, HP touchpad is a 9" tab.
and if you want cheap, you may want to look at the Archos 70b full android honeycomb (soon to be ICS) including front facing camera and android market for $199

Vizio Tablet..
Has anyone found a way to root this tablet after the 1.5 update? Or knows how to downgrade it so i can root it.. Thanks

At the opposite end of the spectrum, what is the best, most powerful, most beautiful Tab out there, or to be released soon? I got a B-Day in April and want my wife to get me one, I am drawn towards the Galaxy, and have the SII as a phone, but would love to see the communities opinions...

the trasformer prime 2.0 <3
best by far.

[Q] XBMC on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1?

Hi there
I'm looking to buy one of these and assumed that as there's an XBMC apk is available, I'd be able to install it onto the tab. I think I'm wrong
I'm a noob at android, I admit it. I installed XBMC on the family iPad before and I'm usually good at learning quickly but android is very different and over the last few days I've really tried to learn everything possible and just need some answers.
Apparently these tabs are not 'neon' (whatever that means?) but the Tab 2 7.0's are so I downloaded this in preparation of buying the 10.1. Is this right?
http://xbmc-android....c29df60974d.apk
Will I be able to use XBMC on the tab? Are these tabs powerful enough to stream large videos online?
Any help will be so much appreciated, I can't explain! Thank you so much

I tried it on my SGT2 7 3113 ages ago , was very buggy but I'm sure its a lot better now. Not really sure if your tab is supported or not ? The link above is for the XDA thread , Im sure the devs will give you a definitive answer and all the advice you could ever need. :good:
EDIT :
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500) ? : http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Android_hardware

Xbmc does not yet support hardware decoding under android, so a large majority of videos will not playback well.

Thank you both for your replies. Much appreciated.
Sean, I check that thread and posted in there. I got some indication from them too. Apparently these *are* in fact 'Neon', but I can try both non and neon to test them.
The model I was going to get is GT-P5110.
Thank you for your time to reply to someone who hardly has a clue. I'm learning Appreciate it.

You will be greatly disappointed for the performance.
It hiccups like no tomorrow even with VGA (SD) TV while I have no problem playing it on Galaxy Tab Plus and S3.
I think GTab 2 has problem with stock kernel (got no more than 3000 on Quadrant and 2D is terrible). Playing Angry Birds has hiccup too.

Is this Tablet still worth buying ?

Ok,, so I'm looking for a tablet and you can now buy this K1 device for £149.
So, I was wondering if this is the one I should go for or, can you please recommend a better one.
I want it for the normal stuff, Netflx, youtube and obviously gaming.
Thanks in advance.

IMO, The Shield Tablet is second to none. Its a true powerhouse and if you want to game, none do it better. I own 4 Shield Tablets. 2 I purchased at $299 and recently 2 more of the K1 versions at $199.
I would happily pay $299 for these so at $199, its a no-brainer.
The only real question is are you satisfied with an 8 inch screen? Some folks want to carry a TV around with them.

Double posted.

Thank you...just got home with it and I'm delighted. Only played with for 10 minutes. Turned it on for the first time and I got the MM update straight away which I'm really happy with. This thing is as smooth to use as my partners iPad air which I wasn't expecting.*
Can I ask you one last thing? I just signed up to the 3 months free game streaming service, do I need a controller to play them games or can you just use the tablet ?
Thanks again.

Best tablet
I have never been so impressed with a device. The thing that really got me is the geo force streaming unbelievable! I would tell anyone, and am telling everyone, that they can't go wrong with the shield. What a device!

[Q] Jetstream Android TV Box

I just purchased a "Jetstream 4K Ultra HD Android TV Box" from Walmart to replace my aging WD Play. Has anyone had any experience using or rooting these devices? I ask, because I've de-Googled my phone via root, and I'd like to keep this as Google-free as possible. Thanks!

I would also love to know if anyone knows how to root this. I have searched everywhere I can think of but have came up with no definitive solutions..

Can you use any 905x ROM? Are these any good at all? Stock is questionable for sure

I guess these are locked up?
I've loaded a codec for mx player pro that plays everything ive tried so far so is that as good as it gets.
Is this thread still around or do my messages fall on deaf ears? I guess as the manufacturers get better and google does their thing, rooting hasn't seemed as needed as it once was. My Galaxy s8 definitely doesn't need it as it does all the things I once needed root to do. My assumption these devices are there or they are close enough.
