I would love to be able to use my phone as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my media center (ps3, xbox media center), but cannot find any info about this..
I guess it would be up to the bluetooth drivers, and to my understanding, that was the big issue with bluetooth file transfer on pre 2.x android roms.
So i wonder, is this at all possible?
I am no programmer, so i couldnt possibly do this myself, so the question is merely hypothetical.
It would be nice to use the hero screen as a multitouch trackpad for my htpc with two finger rightclick and scroll as on my macbook but that would probably be asking for too much
I'd say it's possible, but I doubt that those BT profiles are included in the SDK, so it wouldn't be easy at all. It might only be possible on rooted phones.
A multitouch trackpad for a PC wouldn't be hard at all. I had an app like that (I can't remember what it was called, and it certainly wasn't as good as a mac's trackpad) but it worked over WiFi instead of bluetooth. I think it had keyboard as well... hmm..

Gmote does this, although i can't recall whether it supported MT. and i can't get the server to start on my pcs anymore, it is throwing some java errors, but i had it working in the past, and it was kinda decent as a touchpad.

Gmote has similar features, but it does act like generic bluetooth keyboard to be hooked with any bluetooth device, that support bluetooth keyboards. You have to install the server side part, which is not possible for devices like WDTV Live, which I would like to use.
If you want to control your xbox media center you could always search for xbmc-remote on the market.. I'm pretty sure it's for WiFi only though.. :/

As of now I could connect S60 device as mobile to laptop.
but its little bit unstable, let see how it goes with mobile as bt keyboard and mouse as well.
BlueputDroid does this. It is working for me to use my Backflip as a BT keyboard for my Nook Color (though it's a little quirky for me)

Just for info - it requires a rooted phone with a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod to work
Damn doesnt work on Windows 7
Thanks for that info, I was wondering the same thign for the NookColor
Are u looking for a mouse in phone? I did not follow the thread but if u need that u can find different app in android market such as v:mote or ' mouse in blue'
hope this help
Hey all, new here, havnt searched your entire site for this yet, found this thru the goggles so sorry if considered old thread....
Anyone have updated info on this? I want to use htc desire g7 on android 2.2. to type on xbox, anywhere on xbox, like an always on handy dandy controller...
I can only seem to dig up (and been trying for a little while now) info on tethering your xbox TO your 3g android...
or stuff kinda but not really...
thanks nd look forward to learning a ****load of stuff on this site!!
(i love first time posters, so innocent, and polite, and freakin woooorddyy)
"GENERIC bluetooth mouse/keyboard"
Note "generic" word in the initial post. That means no server applications. I suppose it should work like this: I run the app on my android device and then my pc (or whatever) should be able to detect new bluetooth mouse/keyboard. Does such app exist?
I have searched google play and found nothing. Such app would be extremely useful, I would buy it immediately!

I think you mean it requires a client. If you want a service without a server, you are doing it wrong.

I mean it requires custom application running on the computer. That is not generic bt, so its crap.

Hi,
I managed to start bluetooth on nookie froyo, BT scan is working well(on command line), sometimes it shows devices in the android gui.
The steps : ( use at your own risk and only for comfirmed devs)
Add bluetooth capabilities (HCILL) in kernel
Toggle the WL12XX_RFKILL flag on in evt1a defconfig.
Take the bluetooth firmware (bts file) from gforge.ti ( wl1271 firmware) for froyo pandroid and put it into /system/lib/firmware, alias /lib/firmware to /system/lib/firmware (useful for command line).
boot the kernel
and then
echo 0 >/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
echo 1 >/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
hciattach -s 115200/dev/ttyS1 texas
hcitool scan must show you your BT devices (if discoverable)
Stability is not yet here, Maybe some problems with UART high speed handling ?
This is very positive, it seems that the wl1271 chip is well connected to omap3621...
I will continue to dig ...

Woah. You, sir, just won TWO free copies of the internets! Can't wait to see where this goes, now that the HW seems to be good!
Forgive my ignorance on the subject but what does this mean? maybe the remote possibility of finally being able to use skype and actually talk with a bluetooth earpiece/headset?
That means, IMHO:
1) The hardware is in fact connected. One less thing wait for the salting crew to find.
2) It is possible bluetooth can now be activated in software, since the devs now know it is not a complete waste of time trying to activate hardware that is present but not live.
3) This guy freakin' rocks!

I'm definitely looking forward to being able to use a BT mic + A2DP audio. Now that Clockwork recovery is mostly working, it's going to be great when a 2.2/2.3 custom ROM is out there to just flash and get all this stuff working and easily installed/reproducible.

Wiimote > Skype
This is wonderful. Now I can connect a wiimote to my nook to play emulators with!
Is this something that can be added to the stock firmware, or does it require compile options that aren't enabled in B&N's firmware?
SCORE!!!!
This means it is only a matter of time until our NCs are fully-enabled tablets. Awesome
Anyone know if Android's location services can use Bluetooth GPS as a "native" location device?
I have a hunch that B&N may officially add this in the 2.2 update to make it either look better in a marketing sense (why they would have it off I do not know except... * ) or to go with some fancy accessory.
*They might have it off due to a radio licencing fee they would have to pay or something... No firm data on this IMO just an observation.
Outstanding!

You might be able to tether your android phone's GPS to your NC using Bluetooth with an app in the market called BlueNMEA and an app called Bluetooth GPS in the market. Bluetooth GPS allows your android device to use an external Bluetooth NMEA compatible GPS with apps that require a GPS, like Google Maps. So if you put BlueNMEA on your phone and turned your phone into the antenna and then put Bluetooth GPS on your phone to receive the signal, it might work.
very good!!!

They probably left it off because, right now, the Nook Color is not open to 3rd-party software. There's nothing available (officially) that can use it, so there's no reason to spend development resources getting it running.
I would like to be able to control my parent's mobile phones. They are not good with technology so I'm having issues walking them through how to fix various little things on their phone. They are coming to visit me soon and I'd like to install software on it that allows me to control the hardware from a remote location.
I've been doing remote control for their home PCs for years and it's saved so many headaches because I can remotely deal with it myself without any user interaction. This is what I'm looking for to control their cell phones. I'd prefer the ability to click with a mouse on areas of the screen to emulate touching it with a finger.
Both phones are identical. They are both AT&T Samsung Infuses on Froyo (I could upgrade them to GB but they really don't care. I will if it gives me more options though). Both phones are not rooted and they don't want me doing anything with that because they want their warranty.
Thanks guys!!! ...and yes I did a search there's nothing new on the topics in a while and most speak of apps that require root.
just putting this out there, any app that allows a remote user to control hardware would HAVE to have root access by its nature. Otherwise, any of your remote actions wouldnt actually do anything.

if that's the case then what's my best bet to get this done? Anotherwords what's the best remote software that doesn't require root and what would it allow me to do remotely???
goo. gl/ YgRTo
Access to basic settings, really simple stuff like turn on/off wifi/GPS/etc
Not really anything useful.

AirDroid allows users to enter passcode on web.airdroid.com, so I was confused.
You can do it without rooting now, try our new app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you view and control your android phones from a PC. works on S2 with Jelly Bean.

work with Froyo? Main use is to control my parent's phone (Samsung Infuse) and since they're not tech savvy is it easy to setup remotely?
yes, event works with Eclair, Froyo is fully supported.
I agree with the VMLite VNC server option , works decently for me.
For Samsung phones, you can also look for TeamViewer Quick Support on the Play Store.
Hi.
I'm new here, so apologies in advance if i ask a question that was handled in a previous thread.
I'm looking for a decent app that will allow me to control an android device from a pc. I have a tablet that is being used as a kiosk device and i would like to connect remotely and check the status of apps, run scripts, generally just troubleshoot issues that might pop up from time to time. I would like screen sharing also, that would make things a lot easier. I've tried webkey, teamviewer, airdroid but none of them give me the kind of functionality I need
At the moment I'm using a Nexus 7, but I'd like the app to work on any device. In future we might start using generic android devices, nothing brand-specific.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated

Hey,
once there was ShareKM the dev kinda dropped the projekt. I found some Guides for it because the old version stopped working.
Here is the original thread ShareKM on XDA
If you read it a bit they start to talk about the workarounds.
Hope that helps you I'm also very interested in this.
i found app that will help you to remotely control your tablet

Hi, i'm thinking about buying one Amazfit Pace and i discovered that it is possible to install some 3rd part apps, my first thought was to try to develop some personal apps that i can use to control some of my smart-thingamabobs that i have at home (Mostly MQTT related), and there's very little information about development of apps to the Pace, i found 2 or 3 useful related threads here.
Before i buy it i have some questions, if you already did it (or attempted to) maybe you can answer me some of them
1) Apparently you have to develop targeting API 21 and MIPS architecture, is that correct?
2) Are there any information about the screen specs?
3) Is the Pace recognized as an ADB device in Android Studio or do i have to compile and manually install the app each time i modify something during development? (Considering i'm using PaceFied ROM)
4) If you have developed some app to your Pace, can you share your source?
Thanks in advance
1. Yes
2. https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000661467-Amazfit-Pace-Specs so it's 320x200
3. ADB is working fine with Android studio
4. I only tried to compile the TabataTimer, then I didn't have any time left ( have a live outside of development ).

I was trying as well to run something, first I tried a simple implementation of Google Maps, which failed because it depeneds on Google play service which even after installing, doesn't work. So now I'm trying with Mapbox and some other libraries.... Hopefully I can get somewhere.
hope i'm not hijacking the thread, but has anybody found any way to get readings from the sensors, eg the GPS??

Not at all, i'm curious to find this stuff out too.
Can't the GPS reading be done like it's done on a normal phone? Using a LocationListener?
Yes locationlistener is working.
Unfortunatelly the watch goes into sleepmode way before there is a Lock.

isn't there a way to keep it from going to sleepmode? like when there is an activity running?
what I would be really interested in actually is being able to write another type of activity, specifically sailing, so need to display speed in knots, display direction, and some other values that come from GPS data... any thoughts?
The Activity App is a Watchface as an app.
