[Q] Use Android phone as iPad touchpad/mouse? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I don't know if that's the right section to post this question, but yeah.
I got an iPad 2 because of someone's success, so it's kinda emotional - long story short, I can't sell it, so I want to use it in an efficient way.
- the question: is there an app that turns my phone (a Galaxy S II) into a touchpad/mouse that doesn't require software on the client's side - or is there any app that pairs my phone with my iPad in this way?
Thanks!

Well there's a few different ones you can try. Hope that at least points you in the right direction
BlueputDroid
Gmote 2.0
PRemoteDroid
RemoteDroid
Padroid

PADroid isn't available anymore, all of the others require software which can't be installed on the iPad.
But thanks anyway!

Well sorry . But I'm sure if you keep searching with Google you'll come up with something.

[Q] Streak development

Hello, I got my Dell streak 3 days ago and I love the device (rooted and unlocked already, enough to use-it as a day to day phone and ditch my nexus one).
I do however miss the active development the Nexus one had, since back in my earlier IT days I did some linux kernel dev, I was wondering if there is any pointers to get started and what are the biggest issues encountered (missing drivers, etc) from the current gingerbread releases and how could I contribute.
This seems to be the only gingerbread development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091236

Ignore jitin02. He's annoyed because the Streak's primary developer, DJ Steve, *****slapped him on twitter after pissing DJ Steve off by begging for a ROM.
You're better off asking DJ Steve himself what he needs help with, rather than relying on secondhand information. maximoz I believe linked to the appropriate thread in the development forum already.

Oh, I forgot to mention that jitin02 gets a little touchy when the topic is brought up, as you can see in his response to you and I. I wonder if it's because I told the OP to not listen to someone who knows just enough about ROMs to be dangerous and to go to the source instead?
pibleck,
please feel free to get involved with the GB code, we do have the alpha code from them, but there's a couple of stumbling blocks.
I'm having serious issues with how Dell are using the sensors code.
they are using a sensors_daemon to feed the input into one device, which isn't how the GB system works, so at a low level the sensors all work fine, but android isnt playing at all with them.
What I'd like to do (but am struggling with) is a way to get rid of this silly system that appears to use "misc drivers" and set them up as standard dev/input ones individually instead.
best to discuss it on irc #dellstreak or Pm me here..
I'll PM you incase you dont see this post.
Jitin unfortunately is one of those people who sees a leg sticking out by the end of a wall and runs around screaming that people have been murdered and no-ones doing anything about it..
rather than going and investigating for himself and realising its just someone having a quite snooze out of the sun

USB DAC

Hallo everyone!
First of all - I got myself a smartphone just yesterday for the first time ever, so yes.. I'm even less than a Noob.. you can call me noob^2..
Second: i searched the forum but I did not find a similar topic. Either there is no similar thread yet, or I don't know how to use the Forum search engine properly.. If so, please excuse!
I have a SGS2 i9100 (not G) and android 4.0.3. Not rooted (don't know yet how to so..)
I would like to replace my ipod with the SGS2, but the soundquality is very poor. I would like do connect the phone to an usb DAC (fiio E7 for example), but i read that it is not possible to bypass the internal crap yamaha-DSP. So is there any possibility, hack, or whatever, to send the pure, unprocessed mp3 data to the DAC via USB OTG??
Thank you a LOT!
Not currently possible with the SGS2 & highly unlikely to ever be. Devs who have been asked to have a look at it have all gone 'Nup' because of Samsung's proprietary/closed source drivers & so on. To give you an idea of what devs are up against/why nobody will tackle this, read this post.
Only way it will ever happen is if you code it yourself, or a dev with a lot of time on their hands (there aren't really any of these; the development they do now is done in their spare time & on top of the jobs they have) who actually wants to use this themselves.
Don't ditch your iPod.

Well, that's a pitty!
I read somewhere that android 4.1. (Jelly Bean) supports that USB audio out capability. Is that true, and does that mean, that if I could install jelly bean on the s2, I could use usb audio?
Another, probably stupid, question. Is it possible to install the 'not touchwized' - original - version of android on the s2? Would that make usb audio work, or is it a matter of hardware and drivers??
Thak you for your reply!
Hardware & drivers. Won't work no matter what. Unless a dev makes it work as I said in my previous post.
So right now, no one is trying to make the s2 work..? Would donate if someone succeeds..!
What about the Galaxy nexus phone and about the Galaxy s3? Do these phones support usb audio, even though they are from samsung?
1) No, offering money won't make any difference. There have been threads made in General where people have pledged differing amounts of money; in one thread I offered $20, all up maybe 6-7 people pledged money totaling around $150 to get it working. No devs took up the offer. Seriously, this is something that is very difficult & time consuming to get working, it's not simple like some people seem to think. It just isn't going to happen. Money isn't the issue, the issue is time and/or a desire on the part of a dev to use this feature themselves. No dev so far has had either of those nor a desire to get this working.
The fact it doesn't work on stock roms should tell you something.
2) You're asking in the wrong place, ask in the forums for those phones.

[Q] SmoothBean troubles [ URGENT]

Hi all
I recently signed up on XDA.Don't get me wrong,I'm an intermediate android user.
Anyhow,I'm using nobles smooth bean ROM,and when I run certain apps,there's a black static screen,continuous audio and then I have to close the app.I NEED a solution by Thursday,as I need the gtab good for a project ( App I'm using has the problem.)
Thanks in advance
Daveed2
You're going to need to tell us what the app is.
Secondly, putting deadlines on devs isn't going to help your case. If you need to do real work, get a fully supported device. Such is the nature of hacking - it's an imperfect art. If you can use an older rom, I would suggest doing that instead, as they are more stable.

I didnt mean anything,but I wanted a quick answer
Im using the base MX Media player and Quickoffice. (Side note,FIFA 12 experiences the issues too)
Welcome to the forums. First things first, questions go in the Q&A forum, I am sure a mod will move it but remember next time so you get faster response.
Same problem as yours:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966774
which leads me to 2nd point, SEARCH first. Not trying to be rude, trying to keep the mods from having to school you, and trying to help. when threads get clogged its harder to find good info. Please dont take any of this the wrong way, we really try to help around here.
I searched for my problem already and came up with that thread. Our problems arnt similar.His slows then cuts to a pitch black.Mine gives static then occasionally reboots.Yet sound isnt affected.I tried noble's advice and it didnt work,same problems,which lead me to post here.
I would suggest reinstalling from scratch, and by the book. I would also add the step of formatting /system just in case. I found that without that, my /system folder was maxed out, though it shouldn't be... don't know why that happened the first time.

Smoothbean 11-15-12 Release
I want to thank Nobe for his work. For the first time since Froyo (and in two years of using Android) I have an advanced version of Android on my Gtab that really works smoothly. I have been running it for nearly a week and have only seen one, maybe two slowdowns and they both cleared after a moment or two on their own.
Everything appears to work. While I haven't tried Bluetooth, I have no reason to believe I'll have issues.
Again, Nobe, thanks, I will click the "Thank You" button today.

[Q] HCL ME V1 tablet stuck in a boot loop, power button only works when 100% charged.

Okay, I know I'm supposed to search seven hells (watching too much Game of Thrones) before I post my question. The intro video was clear enough about that. But no, nothing helped. So here goes....
Hi guys,
My HCL ME V1 tablet (ICS 4.0.4, kernel 3.x.x, rooted with ME U1 root via SuperOneClick. Several forums said that this root would work for V1 as well) is stuck in a boot loop. The rest button does not solve the problem, neither does a hard reset (it simply does not go into hard reset from all the methods suggested online across various forums). I scoured heaven and earth to find how to go into recovery for this particular tablet but none of the solutions work.
The power button works only once when it's in 100% charge (green light on the top corner of lcd). After that I have to wait for it to get discharged completely and recharge it once again. All those tips of pressing the volume up and/or down button along with the power/home button and the reset pinhole... none of them worked in my case. I know its a corrupted OS issue and I can solve it. Only if I could somehow get the tablet to boot once or get into recovery or download mode. I know it for a fact that the power button i fine because... again... I stand witness to the fact that the tablet has not experienced any physical shock what-so-ever since the day it was bought. Also not to forget it works once when the tab is in 100% charge.
I can see two scenarios by which the problem might have started:
1. I downloaded FL Studio Mobile apk and its dlc from pirate bay. I copied the apk to the internal SD card (straight on the sd card not inside any folder), and the dlc was instructed to be copied to sdcard/Android/obb. The uploader had said that if the obb folder was not there, I had to create it and so I did and copied. Halfway through the dlc copy, my laptop hanged. So I terminated the process from taskmgr and disconnected my tab from the "disconnect from USB storage" page on the tablet.
2. Next I opened Android Tweaker (Pro?) to tweak a few parameters so that FL Studio Mobile could run a bit lag free. I'm not a power user so, I just used the auto-tweak feature for the performance settings. Next I rebooted via the app and lo! The tablet is now stuck in an eternal boot cycle loop.
I'm an electronic musician and like to have these apps on my devices so that I can make music on the go.
Also one thing I should mention is that while rooting the /bin/su file could not be executed, however installing Titanium Backup Pro (Root) had solved that problem as there was an option in that app to fix it.
Sorry for the long post :cyclops: but I think my problem is somewhat peculiar if not unique. No body else's solution is working and I think there are not many Indians who use the V1 tablet.
Solved
Thank you everyone for not replying to this post. You may have thought that the solutions existed in someone else's answers. But NO. None of anyone else's solutions worked.
I thought this was a place full of experts, but I guess you people are way too busy with your own stuff to really help others which is the purpose of this forum.
Anyways, I solved the problem. The tablet works fine, in fact it works even faster. And just to rub it in HCL's face, I've upgraded the internal memory and RAM. Yes I resoldered the PCB. Removed all the bloatware and useless stuff from our dear beloved Indian manufacturer.
But I'm not going to share how I solved this issue. None of you took the time to reply, so non of u will get this piece of knowledge upgrade. Funk you very much :victory:

Hey bro,
I am newbie with this HCL V1 tablet and it sucks a lot to use this. I got it sent to HCL store for repairing (to flash) just after 3 days I ordered it.
As you are the user of this tab you should be very well known to the problems this tab comes with. Even its not playing the Subway Surfer game smoothly, wt the hell with 1 GB RAM.
So please suggest me the twiks for this tab as like working rooting, global or transparent proxy (needs in college campus because in college wifi works only with default browser with no download at all (only in androids, downloads in symbian, iOS) probably because download runs with external app by default in androids as it shows differently in notification bar about the download progress).
Please help me to resolve these problems.
Thank you.

You are proving to the world how racist Indians are to each other nothing else. And I'm not a Bori wherever the **** they are from. Its Borah you "madarchod ki aulad hindustani" Of course now you will report this to the admin and I will get banned from this site. Or you're gonna throw your cheap sounding Indian abuses at me, or you will try to act like a smartass and type a nice sophisticated sounding comeback to make people sympathize with you. What else can your beta-male-Indian-ass do? Either way, you are insignificant to me and whatever you say is invalid in my world. And thank you for quoting me because finally I got a notification from this website.
For the rest of the people-
This thread is almost one year old now if you know how to read the English calendar. The FB account that was linked to this has been deleted almost a year ago. I don't exactly remember the solution but I cracked open the tablet, took out the ROM, took it to a friend who burns ROMs.
This tablet was meant for my dad which is why it pissed me off no end that it should malfunction. Eventually I threw this piece of **** in the trash and got him a Samsung tab that works the way it is meant to work.
My advice - save some money and buy a higher end android tab and your life will be much more peaceful. Unlike iOS where the hardware platform is pretty much standard, the wide variety of configurations on which android is installed is the main culprit here. You want smooth performance, less lag, and bug free performance, and easily available non-factory support? Honestly start saving money and get a better brand tab. No where else in the world do people push these cheap ass tablets so hard other than the third world.
I understand you all want the best bang for your buck but understand what "best" is first.
Now, you'll can crucify me in your replies if you want. I don't give two ****s about it. Peace out homos!
Calm Down Bro ...

Well, it can be used as a secondary display ! You can use it to mirror the screen of windows device over the Android powered tablets . For guide on how to why don't you try seeing the post over by the tech hive it will help you in guidling how can you mirror the Android device screen by using some simple tricks. What you are going to require is an Android application, Android powered tablet running JellyBean or higher version, Window7 or higher version of OS, and both of the devices should be connected to the same network.

Thanks for this information about using android devices as secondary displays. I knew exactly where to come for the best information. I've read elsewhere on the Internet that this can cause the android device to freeze up and other problems, but when executed correctly, it can be quite useful. Does anyone have first-hand experience with this?
Grateful
Before I dive into this I'd like to thank you. The fact that someone like yourself would take time out to help out a dummies like myself. I don't know if any of this applies to a Note 5 or Galaxy Tab A ,but trying to mirror either one of those is a friggin joke,it's like Vegas odd's if it will work!
Hopefully I can help someone
else out down the road.
I've actually stayed away from your site for quite a while. The last time I was on it the person I was trying to get ask a question apparently didn't like my level of "tech intelligence",he scared me,lol. So it's nice to have you answer something that I've been afraid to ask and embarrass myself for long time ,this is really good stuff,
so alot thanks,...jl...
