Not quite sure how this fits into Themes and Apps but....
There's a KDE tablet coming out...could be the base for what you're talking about. And the attrix laptop dock basically does what you're talking about. So a combination of the two ideas....who knows.

if the evo has it, it could probably run. There would probably be no data though
I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

I am using both an Apple keyboard and track pad in one setup and a Motorola keyboard/track pad combination in another. They both work well.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

I do this with my Transformer Prime via.the.HDMI out. I have to get a MHL adapter for my Note. But this is very possible for people who browse, email and play games. NES and NES ganesh never looked better on my Samsung 60"
I dont touch my laptop anymore. Only to download ROMS lol
It isn't quite there like someone said. But this is the future. For me at least.

Im wondering If theres anyway to get the Ps3 Controller Apps (Or any bluetooth controller) Working with the HTC Evo 3D, Personally I wanna get a good Emulation Setup going. But Without a controller the touch controls kind of blow.
Is there anyway currently to get a bluetooth Ps3 Controller Working with the HTC Evo 3d
Its GSM.
If anyones got it working Let me know of thier setup.

Use an AOSP rom like CM7, CM9, MIUI, or MIUI v4. Then use the app sixaxis pair tool. Set up on my device and I play the **** out of Mario 64.

I recently found out that wiimotes unfortunately don't work with galaxy players, because of samsung's proprietary Bluetooth stack (I hate how Samsung messes up the best features of android!). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has better success with any other game controllers, particularly ps3 controllers? Or are our players fully incompatible with any game controller?

I have tried the ps3 controller and it works fine just download the sixaxis controller app from the market and the pair tool from their website http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Run the app, look and the little number on the bottom after you push start then copy them down
go to your computer run the pair tool and copy the number from your phone to there and click update
ps3 controller should now be able to connect to your galaxy player
Great! Do you have to use the PC every time you want to use your controller with your galaxy player, or is it a one time step?

I assume if you only use the control for the Galaxy Player your fine. But sense I'm always using it for multiple devices i alway have to do it.

Hmm, I remember using the sixaxis compatibility check a while ago while I was still stock, and it showed I was compatible, but now I tried it on klin's icy fusion, and it gets stuck at "can't bind pipe for device". Do you get that problem, or is something wrong with my device?

Hmm, okay I found an older version of the compatibility checker off slideme, and it says I am compatible! So have you tried the latest version of the compatibility checker? I wonder if that would mean the latest version of the actual app wouldn't work as well?

Well, the app was just updated to fix the error, so problem solved! One thing I am not certain about is this; I have read that if you buy a brand new ps3 controller, it will need to be paired to a ps3 before you can use it with this app. Now, I don't have a ps3, but could I buy a used ps3 controller that has already been paired to someone's ps3 and would that work?

I doubt it I see no reason that it needs to be paired with the ps3 when you connect a control to a ps3 it only gets the bluetooth address so you can use it with the console.
And beside you'll be changing that anyways with your computer. I doubt you'll need a ps3. I and if I'm wrong return the controller back.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a new remote has to be activated by a ps3 console or something though, who knows. I'll probably buy a used one anyway, since new ones cost a crazy amount of money, and it sounds like few third-party remotes work.

I'll never use any third party controller since I got a black ops controller and it sucked had a huge dead spot on the analog stick.

So I bought a generic ps3 controller off eBay and I got it working over blue tooth over my phone but it lags really bad so I decided to connect it with a USB cable to my phone but for some reason it won't detect the controller.... Is there a way to fix this? I want to use the controlled wired to my phone and not over bluetooth

Generic ps3 controllers are known to not work very well with phones. Some do not even work very well with a ps3. I bought 2 for my son at different times. The 1st worked really good, the 2nd is so bad that he will not use it.

The genetic part is where it gets tricky, you got lucky that it works on bluetooth at all... idk if you've tried, but you have to have it off before you plug it in, and don't have the Bluetooth service listening for it, sammy's supposed to have it down wired.
Basically don't try to use the Bluetooth app to run it wired, the rom takes care of it if it works at all

This did not work, its like it won't even read the controller, I plug the controller in and the lights come on and I press the PS button once and it does nothing.
And I made sure it works I plugged it into my ps3 and it comes on just fine, (it just lags when using it over wireless but when connected wired it works just fine )

yes i tried using it but it only works when you use blue tooth on the controller (the controller lags really bad when you use it wireless, so i wanna connect it wired so it wont lag) its like the phone wont sense anything is plugged in when you plug in the controller but my Ps3 and computer will sense the controller just fine when connected to them wired.

If using an official ps3 controllee over utg worked fine then im doubting any software is going to help. Honestly your lucky it works at all. My buddy bought one from ebay as well and it wouldnt work period. The lights wouldnt even light up when wired directly to the pc.

yea i mean it was only $8 but i just wanted a cheap white controller to go with my phone, wish it was the other way and that wired would work and not wireless. but it does work pretty good when its connected wired to the ps3.
Just wanted to post I got the controller to work .... All I did was turn on sixaxis like normal so it connects with Bluetooth and then plug it into the phone so it Is charging and it will work with no lag after that
