I am guessing this is possible if the proper drivers were compiled in to the kernel? My curiosity is for a specific application where the lag of sharing a screen via vnc and lack of ability to use 101 as an extension of my desktop rather than mirrored display make it not an option. Any thoughts?

There is an app on the Market called iDisplay, that seems to provide this functionality. It costs $4.99.

Is there any kind of App that allows sms to go to a mac for easier replying?
Via wifi or bt is fine
airdroid
thats a nice one, but i mean more along the lines of it comes in and you get a separate program to allow control. like tablet talk for the acer a500
mighty text
airdroid is better though... and why do you need a separate application on your comp? just use a browser window
Not a true fan of the browser part.

what's the difference? its still an extra window. as long as you are using chrome or Firefox the experience is flawless

Hi,
I'm looking for an app that is capable of controlling my computer using my mobile, but it is important that I will be able to transfer files to my phone using this app (for example, in case I left home but forgot to transfer file to my phone).
I prefer having efficient apps and having as less apps on my phone as possible, so if you know an app that is capable of doing these two things, and perhaps even more, that would be nice.
If not, I don't care to have two separate apps for that, one for remote controlling my computer and the second for remotely transferring files to my phone, though the first option would be better
Thank you.
Unified remote is brilliant. Not sure if do the file transfers. Airdroid is great but not sure if its good for what your asking, worth getting either way

Your title confused me a little. I though you wanted a remote app which functions as a mouse and keyboard. (RemoteDroid was what I was going to suggest).
But for remote control and viewing, Teamviewer does a pretty good job. It even allows you to log in from a web interface. Linux and Windows support. I'm not sure about transferring files but you can use dropbox and if you forget to put the file in the dropbox folder, use teamviewer to do so.
try jump to desktop for remote control. For file transfer you can use dropbox, copy-paste on the computer and it will sync to your device
As said Unified Remote is the best for using your Mobile as a keyboard and mouse for your PC.
It doesnt allow you to transfer files. You can use and Sync applications such a Box or Dropbox to do that.
Unified Remote allows you to browse your computer HDD, and allows you to play or run any software/ App/ Movie/ Video on your PC.
Thanks for your replies everyone.
Dropbox is indeed a creative way of transferring files, did not think of that, but still, isn't there an app that can do this?
And VicXxX, Unified remote is not good for me, this is an app that is used like a remote control (like in a TV), I need an app that allows me to remotely control my computer, from afar (when I'm not at home). By controlling my computer I mean, of course, do basic things like moving my mouse, open programs or web sites, etc.

Sign, i'm using both first for Controlling my PC/Media Player eg wit my Smartphone and Airdroid for Installing apps, managing Contacts eg on Smartphone with PC, Both are definitly recommendable
Any other suggestions?
is there an app out there that lets you remote into your computer and transfer files over? i've used teamviewer in the past for just remote connection , but it has stopped working for me. it may be a firewall issue or something i just haven't found yet but i wanted to see what others where using.
I use POCKETCLOUD for RDP / VNC.

If you are just after files then consider setting up an FTP server.
Proxying isn't necessary if you intend to authenticate directly with the FTP server but I have my server only respond to internal addresses and therefore have to tunnel in and then proxy the requests through the tunnel.
To accomplish this I setup a proxy on the phone (proxydroid) a ssh tunnel (connectbot) and a ftp client (andftp). I'd like to find a client that has its own socks5 proxy so I would not have to use proxydroid.
thanks i'll try out the pocket cloud one. i don't have the knowledge to set up an ftp server. actually now that i think about it i don't really need to transfer any files anyway. but being able to kick off downloads on my desktop was nice to have when i had it working. thanks guys.
I paid for the Splashtop app. I like it so far. I am able to use the native screen resolution on my pc and everything seems to work fine. Give it a try.
I second Splashtop if you are looking for a remote desktop app. The only thing is right now they are moving to Splashtop 2 and last I checked the android app for it isn't out yet but Everything still works.

I got splashtop for free from amazon app store when they had it for the free app of the day. Not rubbing it in but just throwing it out there for the ones not familiar.

I use LogMeIn Ignition. It works really well, even over a so-so connection It's pricy, but I believe they give you a 1 month trial.

This guy is running Windows 8 and is able to see an 'ASUS like' device on his computer. It looks like he can control it as well...
Here is a link to the YouTube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UpugJkgH8o
Anyone know what app he's using? Is this possibly emulated?
He says that if the page gets enough traffic, he'll offer up the details. I went through and tried to search for it on XDA but nothing matches the way his app looked.
Thanks

I know you can use ScreenCast to do that, although complicated and slow.

You can also use our VMLite VNC Server to install on Android, then control using a VNC viewer on pc,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
there might be other apps too
I was hoping the app he's using is different from these 2 and that it worked really well. Who knows... hopefully someone knows what app this is or the guy tells us...
Might be an external display, some android devices support hdmi cable, which connects to tv card on that pc
I have been playing around with Splashtop 2, it's great but the one thing that makes my sphincter tighten is the monthly/yearly pay plans to use it on other networks.
I would like to see if there are other options for remote desktop apps that also work exactly like Splashtop 2, I.E. full support for Windows 8 gestures that do not have pay plans, one payment to use forever, or perhaps even free.
Another thing that bugs me is that Splashtop does not fill the entire GTab screen, it just picks a resolution that comes close.
For now I guess I'll keep using TeamViewer, but that whole thing is a pain in my knuckles.
I have been using xtralogic remote desktop for a year now to connect to my win7 desktop.
It is a full featured rdp client that connects to any rdp enabled machine.
Since 4 months the company I work for is even using this to remotely connect to a win7 server on a professional and daily basis.
What I like most about it is that you don't have to install any software on the server side, just be sure rdp is enabled.
One time payment and working great.

I'll check it out and see how it works with Windows 8.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
This is a nice application, works just the way I want it to.
The only thing missing is hardware acceleration to make it a bit smoother but otherwise it's excellent.
Thanks again!
