I'm thinking about getting another cheap tablet to use to occupy my toddler while traveling....but i need either an app or script i can run easily, or rather that my wife can run easily, that will disable touch and the hard buttons so that he won't pause or exit a video. Anyone know of such an app?

I have been trying several rpd apps like pocket cloud, iTap rdp, remote desktop, jump, gotomypc. I mostly use Pocketcloud pro, but may buy iTap pro. Problem is that all these apps have the same " bug" . The remote screen as a whole, does not remain fixed within the physical screen of the tablet, but moves when you move a finger on the screen.
Do you know of any app that does not show this behaviour?

Jump Desktop is what I use. I haven't had any issues with it at all.

I use spashtop. You can configer it for whole screen or different resoution
Advantage whole screen: better sight at tablet, disadvantage: PC has a higher resolution -> pictograms are replaced
My goal here is to make an EASY to use display for people be able to read DOC, PDF, XLS files.
Here is what I want to use:
1. Rikomagic MK802 III
2. Logitech T650 touchpad
3. 1080P 52" LG TV. (We already own this)
4. Office/PDF app such as: Kingsoft Office, or Easy PDF reader
I plan to connect the MK802 to the tv then install the touch pad (in the available USB slot) and have people use the touchpad to "flip" through files.
In my mind it seems simple enough but some questions I have are:
A. Does anyone know a way to lock android into a "demo mode" of sorts. Where only one app is accessible and the screen stays on?
B. Has anyone used the logitech touchpad T650?
C. Any better app suggestions? Keeping in mind easy is the key.
Just found a cool app that will take care of the demo mode that I want:
KioWare Kiosk Mode Software
On the MK808 custom software, you can disable the navigation keys... essentially keeping from anyone escaping. It is possible to bring back the navigation and exit but not at first glance...
Not sure how you could do this. Maybe a tasker sequence to check if XYZ app is running else launch XYZ. So even if someone did exit, it would relaunch.
Combination of both?

did it work?
Hi, did the Logitech Touchpad work?
I tried the newest MK 802 (8G, bluetooth) with Apple Magic Trackpad and it did not work - no mouse movements, no clicks.
This might be of use to you, Smart Protector. I've used it in conjunction with launchers that can hide icons to stop anyone from messing about with the setup.
I saw a video of a guy using his phone as a controller for World of Warcraft while running the game on his PC. He was essentially using the phone as a casting bar. I'm wondering what software (if any) is the best for that sort of thing. I basically need something that will act as a second monitor for my laptop and let me create custom buttons on that screen.
In fact, I don't even need the screen function. I just need a tap on my phone to register as a keypress on my laptop, and I need to be able to configure a grid of buttons. Being able to also give them custom icons world be ideal, but that might be too much to hope for. And connecting via bluetooth would also be smashing, but again probably just a dream.
Is there something out there like that, or was that video just a fabrication/test?
If I had to guess, that was proabably a WoW hack. Most likely, it was interfacing with his WoW account and not with his computer directly.
I dont play wow but apps like blueputdroid or other bluetooth keyboard like apps may work right i know that app has all the f keys and watnot??
Could he have been using Kainy?

I'm trying to use my broken screen'ed Nexus 4 as a XBMC unit. Trouble is, its a bit of a pain to do anything on it because of the screen being broken (touch screen 25% of the area works).
So basically I need some software which allows me to connect from a "client" (ie other phone/tab) to control it. I know i can use Yatse or any of the other XBMC remotes once i'm running XBMC but there are times where i need to do other stuff on it.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried Tablet remote which does some of the things. But it only really has functionality of a keyboard arrow keys ther than touch/mouse control. Also I know there is another app which seems pretty useful but it has been open sourced called Screen Standby which apparently has a remote control aspect but since its a pay for app that hasn't been updated for nearly a year i'm reluctant to purchase.
anyway. thanks in advance.
I've got a peculiar issue I need some help with. My son often uses my tablet to watch movies or play games on my tablet. The issue is recently he's been doing something that projects/streams whatever you want to call it, it displays what's on the tablet on the downstairs television. We've never had this issue before, but then again the TV is new, it's a Panasonic Viera. Great TV with a lot of options, in fact it's connected to my local network.
My guess is there's some app on the Transformer that's interacting with an feature on the Panasonic. It is very cool feature, like Apple mirroring, however I don't know what my son is doing to activate it. He just randomly turns it on and I'll be downstairs watching TV and the screen will change. That's another really odd symptom, the TV input isn't changed, it's still on HDMI running cable TV, so whatever he's doing is overriding the TV. I check the tablet and there's no open app, like he's turning it off and on because the TV only does the mirroring for a few seconds. Another guess is that the app opens, then he tries to close it which is why I just see a couple seconds on TV.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there any other info I can provide to help diagnose? I've got too many apps to list.
Android Version 4.1.1
It may be interacting with your TV's Viera link which acts like Chromecast. You could turn off the Viera link when not needed to prevent this from happening when you don't want it to.

So any idea what app or process is doing this on my Transformer?
