Is this possible?
I think the title may be confusing but I want to be able to attach my Touchpad to my PC via USB and share the my USB keyboard/Mouse with my Touchpad. I thought it would be cool to have my Touchpad setup at work next to my monitors to do some personal browsing while connected to my phones wifi hotspot--but still using the keyboard and mouse combo that I use for my work computer.
I am looking for something close to Synergy for Android. Any suggestions would be a great help.
Looks like Android porting of same app was planned but nothing happened...http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergyandroid/
Did some digging and found this app iDisplay

Yeah I saw that as well with Synergy. Here is where they are tracking it. A little movement last month--but nothing special.
As for iDisplay, I am looking to just use my mouse and keyboard on the Touchpad over USB from my PC--not extend my PC screen to the Touchpad. Thanks for looking though.
I have found possibly a slight work around to get to the same place.
Theres a lot of apps out there that let you view your android's camera live (with delay) on your pc.
What im looking for is a way to have my computer recognize my tablet as USB webcam.
The closest thing i found is the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487915 but im hoping this can be simpler and more direct.
Your help is appreciated.
Hey guys,
does anyone know when cannonical release ubuntu for android for the custom community?
i found a lot if toturials for ubuntu for S3, but i can´t find the cannoical solution, like the ubuntu GUI over hdmi output.
The most solutions runs with a remote access via phone.
i´m interessted in the cannonical solution, because i can connect an bluetooth mouse and keyboard and use the phone like a pc on tv.

I am working on a mediacenter Rom and I am looking for suggestions for remote control apps for android to control the Q anyone have any good suggestions on controlling the Nexus Q over bluetooth or wifi. This is my only hiccup for this rom.
How far have you got with the ROM yet?
right now i use Bluetooth mouse/keyboard combined with adb over wifi, do you need more control than this?
I've tried a VNC approach but it was a bit strange doing everything from a browser window, but using VNC I used the VMLite_VNC_Server_1_0_4.apk install on Nexus Q
i use ADB and a BT mouse myself at the moment to navigate through the Q. did you manage to add a different launcher on startup?
BT Keyboard?
The tutorials on this board for getting BT Mouse work fine for me. I can't get BT Keyboard working though. If anyone has had success with that let me know!

Also I've compiled the kernel to support NFS and CIFS. Recommend adding that to your ROM.
Plex has worked best for me in terms of a consistent playback. This requires Plex media server to be run somewhere else. As its transcoded you can tune the bitrate for consistent playback. I've tried a variety of other players accessing the media via NFS, however none of them can handle full bitrate MKV. Probably it just exceeds the capability of the device.
Romz
My goal is to have a rom others can flash pretty easily and use an existing android device to navigate on the Q.
I'm honestly just figuring out what basic things to throw on the Q for now I might just put a way to flash gapps, but install xbmc.
Heres the process right now that im stuck with now:
-Nandroid restore using the same method I posted for restoring.
(I've been researching the possibility to have a script push and restore the the rom)
-use OTG USB with keyboard and mouse to pair with device
(I've used tablet remote from the play store but the only issue is that the text input does NOT work so searching for things on the store sucks)
But since most people got them at IO the current owners should be pretty confident with adb.

How is the play store working on your ROM? able to download/update?
Are you using OTG USB with a hardware adapted or software? (just wondering)
Why do you need to Nandroid Restore the ROM as opposed to making a flashable zip and installing it over CWM?

1. Haven't tried/ im messing with the build.prop
2. Im using an OTG cable with a USB Hub w/ a keyboard and mouse
3. CWM is a mess right now the text is super tiny on a 1080p tv and I can't get a hold of the dev on rootzwiki to get the source from him so I fix the screen resolution.

Cool
What's ur progress on the ROM so far? What source are you building it from?
Would it be easier to get the Q working using CM and then just add the xbmc app to act as a media centre? Would probably be less dedicated by could utilize the Q's full potential.
Just my 2 cents.
By the way, please don't get me wrong. I fully appreciate your work!

I think the perfect remote software AND the perfect launcher just don't quite exist yet.
One suggestion though... you can probably get the tablet remote to work properly if you tweak the key layout in your rom as I've described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892359
You could remap each of the letters to whatever key input is being sent by tablet remote.
Keep us updated on your progress!

I agree better to have a full CM ROM on here than just an app as the front, but I think he is making a a full ROM, but not sure..

I don't see why some off you are having problems controling the Q I only used adb once to root and navigate to get my stuff ready. Has far has a controller this is the best mouse keyboard combo I found small portable controll type http://www.ipazzport.com/16A.html is a full keyboard plus it already has the android buttons on it. there is a tutorial here how to redirect the home button to call that way goes to launcher instead of the screen saver thing(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892359). Use nova luncher it wont work with trebuchet from CM9. I have a otg cable with usb hub currently with controller, ps3 controller(yes it works fine with usb cable to play deadtriger) 16gb usb with movies(use stick mount). I apreciate the effort of getting xbmc but I also think a full android rom is better
ohh I forgot use droidmote server is far better than tabletremote
Can't wait see what you come up with OP!

Is there a driver needing to installed for the ipazzport keyboard?
Also could you theoretically attach at 1 TB hard drive over usb OTG, with stick mount?
This of any use?

Loved your work on the Photon back when I had it. Really happy to see that you're working on the Q.

No I don't think you could do that since we don't have a custom kernel, usb mount is built in in android, maybe if you format it fat 32 it could work, good luck. I tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=en but it won't work.
For keyboard you don't need drivers android reads those input by default even with put root.
fiveipads,
If you are still active on this, I suggest we pool resources. If the deal goes through, I'll also have a Gnex to help aid in development in about a week.
OR
Please , please , pretty please still be deving on the Q. It's lonely in Q land and its driving me crazy. :silly:

I know how to build from source pretty well. But without sources for the Q I'm not sure how to get starte. If you take a glance at threads I have started you can see all of my work. PM me if you'd like. I would like to get in on this.
Hi,
I am trying to figure out which UVC camera's are supported by the Samsung Galaxy S4 Kernel. It does not seem to be published anywhere. I have tested various camera's and some are detected, but I get no video from the Camera app on the phone. Perhaps there is an expert here who has some knowledge of this topic? I noticed that there were some threads related to a CM version that has included support for OTG Webcams, but I could not find more details about this.
This is for a research project that I am working on.
Thanks for any help.
-Blue
I can't find a listing of which UVC Camera's Samsung supports for OTG Host... anyway, if anyone else knows something about this please let me know.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? I have tried to get V4L2 working but I failed, it seems to be very hard. I want to use the S4 camera as a webcam thats my purpose. what's yours maybe I can help you, you want to use a OTG usb webcam and pipe it's video stream to the camera? or what
