Hi guys. Sorry, I'm a little new to this site and I didn't find my device, which is Sony Xperia Pro (MK16i), so hope it's OK that I put it in here.
I'm searching for an app where you can use the qwerty keyboard on the phone (MK16i) as a game controller on PC.
So far I have found apps where you can only use the touch screen, but not the keyboard.
Have tried "AGamePad", "All In One" and "PConWeb" just to mention some apps that didn't work.
If anyone have found an app which work with qwerty on Xperia Pro, please tell me
A friend of mine is working on a framework called UniWand (http<colon><slash><slash>uniwand<dot>info) that enable to use smartphone as a controller for web apps / online games, wherein HTML-JS is used to create and host the controller. Subscribing there might help.
Try monect! It works great for me! It has several features which include using your phone as a game controller. You will definitely find it fascinating

Thanks for answers. I'll try them out
So you've got a Q, and you've learned how to adb install apps to it... maybe even put a launcher on. But if you've got an NFC capable phone/tablet, you need not mess around with a launcher: your device will be your launcher.
As most of you probably know, the Q ships with a fully capable NFC radio. But for whatever reason, google only ever gave it one official function... beaming out a link the the Q App in the Play Store. Even if you already have it installed. They could have just as easily used a tag to do that job. But I've discovered that if you're running a sideloaded app, the Q will beam that app to your phone. Clearly, we're dealing with a fully beam-compatible device.
However, the Q is programmed to automatically push it's beam out when it finds a device that can receive it. To overcome this, you must open settings (either via a launcher or via adb shell, this is well-documented) and go to the "more" menu. Turn Android Beam OFF while leaving NFC on. This allows the Q to still read your incoming beams (they act just like tags, for compatibility) but it stop apps from opening unexpectedly on your phone.
Once you've done that, you can open any app installed on your Q simply by opening it on your phone/tablet and beaming it over. You'll still need a mouse or keyboard to navigate, but you won't have to futz around with getting to the launcher. This is working on my unrooted Q.
(I don't think this has been discussed before. I hope someone finds it useful!)
Thanks for the info, I was actually wondering whether this was available on the stock firmware. When you say you still need to launch/control with OTG, do things like Youtube links not autoplay when Beamed?

This basically opens the app like an android app on the Q. To click on things you need a mouse and an otg cable.

Animal24 has it right. And yes, it's available stock and unrooted. If you send a video to the Q, it will still work. However, when the video stops, it will return to the open app, not the standard home screen. If I recall correctly, music will play in the background if an app is open, and the lights will not dance.
That all said, I haven't used the Q since the new music lauched. :/

With CM10.1 and XBMC, I'm planning on using the Q to replace my Revue. I'm all OTA so I don't have a cablebox for the Revue to interface with, and with Aptoide I'm going to see if I can get the new Primetime working on the Q for finding and watching shows from Netflix/etc. Hopefully some year Primetime will do generic Amazon links instead of the GoogleTV apps. I'm using the new Play Music on my Q and using my phone as a remote. I've discovered that I can't seem to beam from the new Play Music to another device, or at least when I do it won't autoplay.

How are you doing this? ATM, I'm using BubbleUpNp from both sides, Q and phone. This allows me to still use Google Music as well as All Access. If there is a way to get the stock aplication to work in any way, please share

Hi FadedLite,
I'm using DroidMote to use my phone as a remote to the Nexus Q. I also use ShareKM, another fantastic option that lets me mouse "over" to my Nexus Q from my laptop and control the cursor with my laptop's mouse. One thing I need to figure out is a way to trigger DroidMote Server and ShareKM to start listening on boot, otherwise I have to use my OTG plugged mouse to open the programs and start them up once.
To use Google Music with All Access on the Q, as I stated I'm running CM 10.1 and they have a Gapps package that gives you the Play Store and Play Framework, so you can install Google Play Music and Movies & TV, etc.
Hey, I've been looking for these for ages and found hope when I came across this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytu7osXnxWM
Would absolutely love if any of those apps are available for us mere mortals with our Cardboards, especially Oculus Cinema and whatever that IMAX demo is!
The SDK has been released with the Cinema, 360 photo and video apps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-vr/general/oculus-apps-gear-vr-sdk-t2944070
Still wondering about IMAX though...
Oculus Cinema on other phones?
I'm also interested in the Oculus Cinema app.
I have the SD card files for the VR Gear plus I got the SDK files from Oculus that has the Cinema.apk.
I have installed the Cinema.apk on my Sony Xperia and the app runs but I get a screen showing the Cinema Foyer with a message saying I need to put in an SD card with movies on as there are no movies on the phone. I found somewhere that said I needed to put movies in a certain directory but that doesn't work either. Can't tell if the foyer image is a splash screen or the app has frozen.
Just wanted to know if anyone had any insight into wether this can run on non Samsung phones.
Cheers
Oly
Idea for your xbox one streaming instead

Hi there,
I like listening to pocasts while jogging. Normally I manage my podcasts on my smartphone. Since I don't like to have such a big device with me while jogging I use my old Sansa Clip Mp3-player. Unfortunately I can't manage my podcasts on the device directly and therefore I have to download each mp3 and put them manually on my player.
Because I really didn't like to do this anymore I searched for small MP3-Player with Wlan which lets my download the episodes on the device directly. Since the Ipod Nano has no Wifi at all and all those new Smartwatches do not work without a smartphone I decided to get a small Android phone to use this as an mp3 and podcast player.
Today my X10 Mini cam in and now I have 3 problems:
-Each time I start the device, it asks for a SIM card and on the Notification bar shows that I have no signal and no SIM card. The phone is only my MP3 player, therefore I do not need a SIM card. Can I turn all these notifications off?
-When I start the market ppp and look for podcasts I do not find any podcast app. Additionally It is called Marked and not Play Store. When I surf the Google Play store on my PC my X10 mini is not listed on my list of devices even though I use my Google account on my X10 Mini. Why is that? Would using a Custom ROM solve this Problem?
-Which custom Rom would you suggest?
Is there a way to get the PS4 Remote Play app for Xperia Smartphones to work on the Mate 20 Pro? I found a modded version but it says I need to update the app...
Thanks for any help!
