Recently a new application that allows you to use the Galaxy note 10.1 as a Wacom digitizer was released in the Play Store, the application name is S-tablet 3.0.On this site you can find more information and a link to download the application:
h t t p://s t a b le t . c o .k r/ (remove the spaces)
According to the site will have to install the application on your note 10.1 and after installing a dock expression on your PC in order to use the application.The application allows us to establish a connection with the PC and can control it from our device, although the application is focused on the use of Photoshop because it can detect the level of pressure in addition to the display of our 10.1 Notice will see shortcuts Photoshop tools.My problem is that after making the instructions on the website of the application, I can not make the application work and establesca communication with my PC, so I invite you to test the application and see if it works and if someone achieves haer the application to work, post in the forum or instructions steps you took to achieve it.
Bellow is te Play Store link of the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ.."]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ..
I'm able to establish a connection(it says 'wireless connected') between tablet and PC but there is no movement of the cursor or mouse. The website is in Korean and I can't understand anything. Right now it's unusable.

The download links doesn't work either. Both on play or your website. Not on play because it seems it isn't available for my device. But other 10.1 apps are.
Arrrgh
I reaaaally wanna see this working.
I too have installed it. It gives me an error as soon as I hit connect after typing in the ip address displays on the S-tablet desktop app.
Out of curiosity did either of you guys notice a little off screen tab that displays a pop in icon of a kind of brush stroked S, as well as the regular interface? I almost missed it but it seemingly has no function.
It's be really good to have a usable version of this though I'm sure you'll agree.

When you say you have tried it could you tell what operating system you tried it with?
OS....
I used it on Vista OS.
Looks like the dev updated the site last week.
The s-tablet pc program isn't fully working on 64bit windows. Looks like they're trying to create a java based app to overcome this issue.
For A while I spent a great deal of time trying to get screen mirroring working on the Amazon tablets. I posted my research on the Fire 7 forum, when I should've also posted here. I am happy to report, screen mirroring works 100% prefect, and do NOT need root access. My Fire HD 8 is currently on FireOS 5.4.0.0. I am only posting my results of my work in this thread. You can read my research in the other forum. I hope everyone has fun with this. Though I didn't actually do anything to get it working. All the credit goes to developers like @ggow and LineageOS for helping to make the process a reality.
---------------------------------------------------
So I just wanted to update everyone. I still own my Fire HD 8 and I recently unlocked the bootloader to my rooted XT907 phone and flashed Marshmallow Lineage 13. I also acquired a Fire 7 rooted and also with a custom ROM, Fire Nexus (From XDA). I also now have a Samsung Galaxy S7, unlocked from carriers and rooted. I am happy to report, with the right app, the entire thing works perfect across all devices, rooted or not.
My current device list:
-Fire HD 8, 2016 - No root, bootloader locked, stock ROM
-Fire 7 2015 - Rooted, bootloader locked, custom ROM
-Motorola Droid Razr M - Rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom ROM
-Samsung Galaxy S7 - Rooted, bootloader locked, stock ROM, carrier unlocked and not attached to one
Unfortunately Google, your manufacturer and your service provider, all went through extreme measures to block out the functionality on many levels, especially older devices running Lollipop and KitKat. As such it's almost impossible to get the process to work for more than a few seconds on those devices if at all, and that's even with root. So many of the abilities and functionalities had been blocked or deleted and the damage can't be undone on older Android devices, again especially those with KitKat and Lollipop (unless custom ROMs for those versions). In order to 'fix' such damage on those devices, I truly believe the only way to do so is to start that particular OS over from scratch, rewriting the entire code so those functions work in harmony. Like a string of Christmas lights, If one doesn't work, the whole thing crashes. At least developers like @ggow and ones at LineageOS know about such things, and because of their continued hard work, are able to bring those functionalities alive. It truly is a shame this can't be brought out is a more vast range of devices because 'screen mirroring' really is cool.
It appears that Amazon does NOT really block the functionality, at least on the HD 8. It's more like they make it difficult for you to acquire working apps in order to get the process to work. I searched far and wide and trust me, of the few I did manage to get working, they use functionalities built into the app, rather than stock components. Except for one: RemoDroid. It looks like an outdated piece of software and even feels like it. It's only purpose is to bring out the stock screen mirroring functionalities in the device it's installed on. But again, like Christmas lights, if the functions are severely blocked, it won't work.
I can screen mirror to and from every one of these devices now. It appears the more recent devices have the functionality intact, including the Amazon HD 8, and possibly the rest. RemoDroid uses the actual built in 'cast screen' software to capture and send. If you pull down the statusbar, and look at your quick settings, you will see the 'cast' icon is turned on and in use by RemoDroid. Just make sure the devices are all on the same Wifi network and the process should work. If it doesn't, one of your devices isn't compatible and likely won't be. You can thank Google, your manufacturer and your service provider for that. They won't rewrite your OS so you're likely to be locked out of screen mirroring indefinitely.
I will make a video at some point to show it working on my non rooted, stock Fire HD 8 so everyone can see it in action and be able to have fun with it. Instructions posted below this post.
Video Here
Instructions
1) Download RemoDroid and install on your HD 8.
2) Install RemoDroid on a device that has ability to screen mirror, but no software to do so (Like the HD 8)
3) Make sure both devices are on the same WiFi network. Start the app on both devices. If rooted, grant the app root access. On the HD 8, ignore the no root warnings.
4) On the HD 8, tap 'stream', ignoring the warnings.
5) On your other device, tap connect. In a few seconds your HD 8 should appear on the list. Tap it. Your HD 8 screen is now being mirrored to your device :highfive:
6) On that device, tap the back button and tap ok to stop the connection. On the HD 8, stop streaming.
7) On your other device, tap 'stream'
8) On the HD 8 tap 'connect' and select your other device from the list. You are now mirroring to your HD 8. :highfive:

Are you asking in the right thread? I don't understand the question.
Hmm, what the reason to cast/mirror screen to the another (probably, with a smaller screen) Android phone/tablet? Screen mirroring has sense if you streaming to the large TV screen only but RemoDroid can't work this way.
And I'm unsure what the Fire HD 8 has a WiFi direct enabled network adapter (maybe, it's a prime reason why this functionality isn't implemented yet).

I understand that. What I don't understand, why do you need casting from device to device first, what do you mean by "internal casting software" second, and why do you waste your time for this useless RemoDroid, third?
This app, Screen Stream Mirroring Free is working fine for the screen casting to DLNA renderer or Chromecast dongle (tested on both, on the 55'' smart TV screen). Of course, it's a little slower than Miracast (i.e. WiFi direct) but Fire HD 8 don't have Miracast (or WiFi direct) support at all (probably 'cause of incompatible WiFi chip but I don't really know, may only guess).

It's not about needing. It was fun (and still is lol). In KitKat 4.4 the technology was blocked in Android, from the source code to the software level. Some of the "internal" functions needed for it to operate (software like a casting and receiving app known as a source and sink) were blocked in the framework (/system/framework/framework-res.apk) and other parts were blocked in the WiFiDisplay configurations in Android's source code (/system/etc/wifidisplay_config.xml) and so on. That app you speak of works to use Chromecast, but not device to device. (I've tried dozens of apps and root tricks etc). RemoDroid is the only one to use the available software that isn't blocked and make up for the rest.
Wifi direct can be found in the hidden settings using Activity Launcher. It's tied into Cast Screen (hence my research months ago). I can get the tablet to connect to at least two other devices directly. What to do from there? *Shrug* Ask Amazon...they blocked that out too.

Could you please expand this? Are you still talking about Amazon Fire HD 8?
[UPDATE] Just installed Activity Launcher on Fire HD 8: there is no "Cast Screen" activity found.
[UPDATE 2] As far as I understand, this "RemoDroid" app is not using WiFi direct; it working with HTTP protocol and own built-in HTTP server. It has NOTHING TO DO with the real screen casting; it uses slow HTTP protocol (and own plugin) to display screen content on the other devices. So, it's ineffective, slow and with huge lag. Definitely, it's not a WiFi direct/Miracast.
So I still don't understand your point. BTW, are you developer?

I said because it's fun. I've been researching this for months and it's there. I have both an HD 8 and a Fire 7. Cast screen was there as of 5.4.0.0. Using Activity Launcher, it's in the settings menu.
Does there need to be a point to this? No. I never said there was one. And you're not obligated to use this function, but this was what it was to do originally.
I'm not a developer nor do I claim to be and never have claimed to be one.
OMG, now I understand! Man, you should better explain your finds and don't mess up with the completely different topics.
First, your assumption what everyone is very familiar with the third party app called Activity Launcher is wrong. I've heard that name a very first time from you here (btw, thanks a lot for the reference!)
Second: you are right, WiFi direct screen casting still here (but for some reasons Amazon made this setting hidden/not available). Here I made a pretty simple and small instruction (it's what I tried to get from you ):
- install Activity Launcher from the Play store;
- start it, scroll to the "Settings" app, tap on "Settings" to expand;
- you'll see all "Settings" app activities and may pin (make shortcut) "Cast screen" activity to your start screen or just launch it!
This is a really good find but you need to explain it properly at the OP
P.S. As for app you've mentioned (RemoDroid): it has nothing to do with the WiFi direct/Miracast (i.e. standard Android screen casting technique) but it's a nice and probably funny third party app, using own technique (HTTP) to emulate screen casting. But - fortunately and thanks to you - we can use the very standard Android screen casting!
P.P.S. Tried on my dongles: works pretty fine with Chromecast, cheap Chinese Miracast (bought for a few bucks on aliexpress), Windows 10 with the Realtek RTL8811AU USB dongle. Not working with the Microsoft Wireless Adapter.

Sorry I had assumed you read the link to my research. You are right I should explain it better. If you have appwidget active on your launcher, you can make 'cast screen' a shortcut on your desktop, but it has to be enabled again if you reboot.
As it stands now, the cast from device to TV is what it is for. The original idea was to do to or from ANY device. If cast were in the quick settings on the pull down, you would see RemoDroid using the cast function. Remo wouldn't work on my KitKat 4.4 because the functions internally were too blocked. If you look in the HD 8 build.prop you'll see the properties exist to allow casting and wfd to work, which allow Remo and the Chromecast to function. Most custom ROMs enable the feature so it works on any device, as it was meant to and much easier.
I also noticed the video uploaded improperly. That was my fault as I didn't grant proper permissions to my camera app.

"Appwidget" (whatever it is, probably, another third party app?) isn't necessarily for this, "Activity Launcher" can create permanent shortcuts (I not tried to reboot but looks like it's a permanent - at least, until Activity Launcher isn't uninstalled). Just a long tap on item and choose "Create shortcut" from popup menu.
Here are screenshot to demonstrate "how to":

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

I discovered appwidget in /etc/permissions. It is a script that allows launchers to use widgets, even though Amazon blocks it. They just did a write up about our thread related to it on XDA news. It also allows the creation of shortcuts. So you can long press the cast screen activity using Activity Launcher to make a short cut on your launcher's desktop.
"Activity Launcher" creates a shortcuts, not a widgets Here is a source code, and this is a SO question (code based on)
Small tip: if you don't like standard "gear" icon, you may install any app with better icon, and tap "Edit shortcut" in pop-up menu (instead "Create shortcut"). With the edit dialog, you may tap on the gear icon and select any from already installed apps primary icons.
P.S. Shortcut will remain the same (and will work too!) if you uninstall app with selected icon, and even you uninstall Activity Launcher.
BTW, @DragonFire1024 (I forgot to ask you), have you found a way to avoid "Fire Launcher" flickering by pressing home button? I remember something about substitution of standard buttons with third party "tricky" app but I don't like that solution (and it has some cons, AFAIR).
I found and tried your advice but it doesn't work for me: everything came as described but I'm getting permanent flickering of back/empty screen. I'm on Fire OS 5.4.0.1
P.S. Played for a little with second advice (about "Multi-action Home button"), and now can't get rid of the "The requested action is not permitted. Check Parental Controls settings and retry" Any advice? Should I reinstall "Fire Launcher" and uninstall "Multi-action Home button"?

If you can still downgrade Fire Launcher, you can "fix" that in this thread. If successful, follow the steps below to "fix" the recent's button:
1) Open Activity Launcher, tap top left and select All Activities.
2) Scroll to System UI section and tap it. Long press 'App Switcher' and create a shortcut. Place it as close to the recent apps (the square button) as possible. When you want to swipe close your apps, use that shortcut. You'll avoid parental warning.
EDIT: Just noticed you linked to it. At the time, that fix worked. If it no longer does, then you are out of luck as of the moment. Since you cannot uninstall/disable apps anymore, you can't downgrade it.
I ended up with the factory reset. It looks like this "bad magic" is not working anymore, by result you can "achieve" just a non-working home button only
However the pros is: after reset and reinstalling, the "flickering" become significantly faster (or no flickering at all), now Nova Launcher mostly working like a normal launcher on Android OS. However I can't set (after reset) Google Now Launcher as a default launcher, LauncherHijack didn't see Google Now as a launcher, only Nova available. So, bye-bye, "OK Google"
Conclusion: will never touch that stuff again, FireOS with Google services working pretty fine, and don't need other "improvements".

It's a lot easier now and more likely to work on newer android versions now that Google redid the way Chromecast works. When I had started my research months ago, close to maybe a year now, it was far more difficult, at least on these tablets. It's a very long story.
