Hello Everyone,
I have general question regarding remote desktop usage, Android to Android. I have the following equipment:
1.) Galaxy Nexus Phone
2.) Asus Transformer Prime
Both are unlocked running custom ROMs.
I want to be able to remote control my Galaxy Nexus Phone with my Asus Transformer Prime Tablet. I've used apps like Tablet Remote, etc. however they lack the functionality of the touch screen.
Does anyone know of a solution for a remote touch screen desktop, that would allow me to control my Galaxy Nexus by using the touch screen of the Asus Transformer Prime? I'm looking for something like Slashtop remote login (Android to PC, except in this case Android to Android), so the screen of my phone shows on my tablet, and allows me to use the tablet to remotely control my Galaxy Nexus when it is hooked up to my TV. Such an app would be very useful for entertainment, such as controlling netflixs, playing video games, music, etc.
Would appreciate any direction you might be able to provide. Thanks in advance.
Wave.
Install vnc server to nexus and vnc viewer to prime. That should work

I don't have an Archos but I have a Galaxy 10.1, Asus Transformer, and a Galaxy S phone. I have been trying to figure out how to strap the 10.1 to a headrest and remotely play movies for my son in the back seat and I'm hoping the Archos software would be the key.
Has anyone ripped the Remote Control Server APK from this rom to be used in other tablets/phones. The controller is on the market but the server side is not
Or if someone knows a way to do this that would be great. (Note: DLNA is nice but its a full PUSH and what I want to do is control the media already on the tablet, or use the Sprint 3g on the 10.1 to stream netflix.
I have tried Server VNC for droid, and it breaks on tablets.
Thanks for all your help!
Maybe someone with an Archos and another Android device can analyze what is sended by the other device to the Archos (Wireshark for example)

I am fairly sure this is not an APK, as sin not a simple app. it is a service baked into the system code of the ROM. This kinda of app is not overtly simple to add to android even IF you had all the source to the ROM, which no one does for HC yet.
The only problem is to know what is said on the network. After that, creating the app to communicate with it is "easy".
Am i to understand that you want to stream video to Archos from your Asus/Samsung ?
No, he wants to control his expensive Samsung 101 via a remote.
Something that comes included with any cheap Archos Gen8 ;-)
Expensive
Yes, its more expensive then the Archos but its 3g via Sprint. So I can stream, check email, watch IP cameras for restaurants that I am responsible for. But when traveling with the kids its nice to put in a headrest strap and control it.
Right now my son who is 3 will either tap the screen and freak out because the movie stopped playing, or if he is holding it he ends up stuck in some app. This will allow my wife or myself to start other movies, netflix streams, etc..
Headrest monitors for cars are not cheap (unless you get some really poor generic ones) and once the kids hit 5 years old they will not want to watch a linear movie, they would want to watch and interact with the web. (Humm or maybe I'm the biggest kid in the equation )
Right now I can DLNA push a video to the tablet using BubblePNP (Works great) but its annoying when my phone wifi sleeps or phone calls seem to mess with the connection. Remote control will keep each device truly separate. How many times I have walked out of the car to get gas out of range of the DLNA sharing is annoying.
Here you go...
I Hope this is what you are looking for...
Ripped out...Have Fun!
He doesn't need the remote, he needs the receiver for the Samsung.
I saw the words "remote" and "software" in the OP.
Yes, but he's searching the server side of the remote software ^^
Looks like the best way to get the Archos remote server app is to unpack Archo's firmware and take the server app out.
I found some linux tools that can do this, e.g. using aos-tools
However, my linux skill is only novice level at best, so I don't think I can unpack it successfully and find the remote server app.
Anyone happy to give it a try and share the file?
I see the instructions to unpack can be found here: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=The_aos-tools_Toolchain
I was looking for such app and Archos seems to the the only company which have a Android remote app right now... I am interested to install the remote server app on my Android phone or tablet and see if it works.
for control the tablet from an android phone you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
Hi everybody
I have a Android based tablet(junpad, like flypad) that i have as a spotify player.
Now i woundering if ther is any apps that make it possible for me to use my galaxy s or laptop as a remotecontrol to change track etc, etc. have looked at Remote Web Desktop but i cant control spotify through that. And DroidMote Server does not work on the tablet for some reason.
So, is there any aps out there that fits me?
I can connect a wireless usb mouse to the tablet, but how cool is that? Would be nice with a app or something
No one knows anyting that can work?
I'm gonna drudge this up instead of starting a new thread. Same question. I would like to control Spotify from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with my Galaxy S III...
... also same questiion....
Did you get any further with this?
It would be great if Spotify could enable an option to play music on any other device (with the same user registered).
My best solution so far is with Spot Commander; an android application which controls a spotify server on a Linux netbook.
But I'd prefer to use an obsolete Android phone - since it would use much less power - also in stand-by. Another idea - perhaps the spot commander server application (which is Open Source) could be ported to the Raspberry Pi.
Media Remote
Media Remote by appshroom works but is pretty limited.
Hey folks,
Sorry to kick up an old thread, but I was Googling around to find the answer to the question posed above and I thought maybe answering this thread would help the next guy. It seems that if you want to control Spotify on Android from another Android, you can do so using DroidRemote. The downside to doing it this way is that it uses bluetooth.
I'd really prefer a way to do it via WiFi as its' range is higher and I don't have to turn on the bluetooth radio just for this purpose, which in turn consumes my precious mAh's. It'd also be dandy if I could use my Windows box to control Spotify on Android.
This Galaxy Tab 2 will do nicely as a Spotify player but controlling it remotely would be even more boss.
Hello,
Is there any new solution to remote control Spotify on tablet from a phone ? Is there no tweak available or mod ? Even if you root your phone / tab ?
Regards.

I second this question.
I have a small Minix as my spotify player connected to my TV and surround system. I have been searching forever for a solution that will allow me to control the Minix spotify session from my Nexus7 Tablet.
Any suggestions? Please!!!!!
/Desperate!!!!!!
I'm using my HP Touchpad running ICS which is hooked up to my audio system in my yard. I'm currently running Skifta to stream all my multimedia to the tablet. It works perfect.
I am now trying to figure out how I could control playlists in real time using my phone (Evo) on my tablet. I can't seem to find a dedicated media server app and remote app combo for Android. This scenario is easily accomplished if I were using a PC instead of a tablet but due to the circumstances I'm not. Anyone know of an app or apps that may let me accomplish this?
FYI: This is for Pre-Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (not 4.1 Jelly Bean - yes it's confusing) devices. 4.2 now has a much better feature for screen mirroring!
I'm just wondering if anyone else has thought of this. I know that it's not EXACTLY the same thing, but the principles are similar.
If the Nexus Q is just a media viewing device for $300, why wouldn't you just buy an Android tablet with MHL or HDMI out?
I happen to have the TF101 (original Nexus tablet IMHO) with Mini HDMI out. Newer Android tabs have Micro HDMI out. A lot of Android phones have MHL/microUSB-HDMI out. I did a quick google, found this and installed a VNC Viewer and VNC Server on both by HTC Sensation phone (running Android 4.1.2) and my TF101 (running Android 4.1.1).
I was able to remote control the tablet from my phone.
So since I have the full app catalog available to me through my TF101 (including Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Pandora, Google Music, etc.) and I can use my Sensation to remote control it while connected to my LED TV - and also take it with me if I decide to go on a trip - why would I want to buy the Nexus Q???
Nexus Q main feature is the built in amplifier for passive speakers.

I thought the main feature was that it was a media link to your TV. What the heck else would people really buy it for?
I use my Droid Bionic with dock that has USB, micro HDMI and a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard as an extra HTPC in my other room. Works great for all media content.

The possibilities are endless. It gets even better as the 10/100 LAN support and NFC makes a connected home pretty easy.
The Nexus Q main feature is that it is a social media device. Sharing music and movies is the prime feature.
What VNC server?
As of 4.2.1, all VNC servers are broken, and there is no information about when (if ever) there will be a fix. Can your family handle a multi-month disruption of their media-viewing ability?
Hi
Going on holiday and have a Seagate Wireless plus harddrive that makes a Wifi network the wife and kids's tablets connect to.
Have a 1 year old that also likes to watch cartoons while driving.
Problem is, he is in the back seat and the wife is in the front and he is not old enough to select movies himself.
So...I need some app that i can install on the tablet he is using and the wife's tablet so she can get his screen on her tablet and select movies.
Basically just a remote desktop for android devices.
Have found numerous remote desktop app's but they all enable me to use my tablet to remote desktop to a PC, not another android.
Anyone know what app i will need :fingers-crossed:
