[Q] nearby and today scope - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I just installed ubuntu touch on my nexus 4 using the devel-proposed channel.
Everything is working fine. I just have one question: Are the today and nearby scope only for devices which are shipped with ubuntu touch?
Because I can't find them on my phone.

Yes, at the moment they can only be found on the commercial devices. Let's hope that they add them to the store some day...

no you have to install then add.
ince you install from app store
slide you finger up from bottom of screen on main app page to select and add scopes
select the star if you want to keep the scope you want
you might find the app on here

@wayneward He is talking about the "Nearby" and "Today" scopes which are preinstalled on the commercial Ubuntu phones.
You currently can't install them on the Nexus line because they aren't in the store.

Oh, yes. There is a Nearby scope in the store but it's not the one he is talking about.
Check out http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/features for the set of scopes which are exclusive to commercial devices at the moment.

That's interesting, thanks.
Maybe we can somehow extract the scopes from the Aquaris images. I'll give it a try when I find some spare time.

I did it!

[Q] Running an Android App in Windows 7/8

Hi.
My company is considering the purchase of an Android app (minimum Andriod 2.1) for our salesforce and wants to buy some Android tablets to run it. Regarding its functionalities, we're talking about an app that collects barcodes through the tablet camera and sends them to our network using our VPN over 3G network.
Mi idea was to wait a few months more and instead of buying the tablets, renew the laptops and buy some W8 tablets and run the application over them and that's where I have a couple of doubts:
1) How can I emulate Android in Windows 7/8?
2) Is there any possibility for the emulator to recognize both the tablet camera and the 3G SIM for communications?
Thanks for your help.

See here, Bluestacks
Hi.
Thanks for your answer! I had already came across bluestacks, but since the beta isn't available yet it's hard to find out if it will also emulate the hardware.
Thanks again.

No prob man! Sorry, I didn't realize that they pulled the alpha from their site. A quick google search will get you the alpha though if you wanted to give that a shot.
Download and install the Android SDK, and use the emulator that comes with it. You can set it up to emulate a phone or a tablet. Then transfer APK files through the Android Eclipse plugin.

Win8 Metro Testbed

Hey, i just ran across this app on the play store it costs 24.99$ so i wanted to know if any of you tried it before i purchase it.
Win8 Metro Testbed As you code and debug your Windows 8 Metro app, test it out using an iPad or Android tablet! Get a feel for how your app will behave on a tablet running Windows 8 with touch gestures enabled.
Splashtop is the ONLY app that allows you to experience the Windows 8 Metro UI on an iPad or Android tablet. If you’re a Windows 8 app developer, this is a great way to preview the capabilities of your app on an actual tablet using touch gestures.
Windows 8 Metro touch gestures are supported, so you can take advantage of all the underlying touch capabilities of Windows 8 as you build your app:
Swipe from the right to view the Charms menu Swipe from the left to switch apps Pull down from the top to close an app Swipe slowly from the left to run two apps side-by-side ("snapping") Pinch to navigate files, folders, apps and data with Semantic Zoom And more
Win8 Metro Testbed is a must-have app for anyone who’s trying to build a great Metro style app without incurring the high cost of a Windows tablet!
I'm new to forums so i can't post links so if you wanna learn more google splashtop win8 metro testbed
Tank you

Thank you I've tried it and its not that bad . It would be better if it was fullscreen tho!

I experienced this issue as well. Is not the not-full-screen issue something that has to be fixed by splashtop (will never happen) or is it something we can modify in CM9?

I'd guess it means update the app in play store.
Its sounds very interesting. Does anyone have a link to a video of it running?

Black/Blank Screen
I bought this app as other splashtop ones worked well but this app I just get a Black/Blank Screen. the touch gestures work as you can see them on the PC monitor. I was disappointed as I would have loved to use this app, Have submitted a ticket with them but wont hold my breathe while waiting for a response.
I am using Galaxy Tab 10.1v
running CM10 20120816-Experimental-p3 JellyBean 4.1.1
splashtop streamer V 1.7.6.3
Win8 Metro Testbed V 1.0.1.1
Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64bit build 8400

app for controlling desktop with phone

so i did a search but i'm not really sure how this category of app works. im basically looking for an app that will let me do stuff on the desktop,through my phone. for example, i could be lying on the bed, and i use my phone to open a page on the desktop and play some music(through the desktop speakers). is this even possible?

perfectly possible with a droid
you need a wif though.
The best app I would say is win remote. It needs an apk to be installed from play store and a small app to be installed on your pc. the rest is simple

Unfortunately, that requires Wine installed on a Linux box. Pity.
Pocket cloud and companion, pocket cloud explorer, works over data as well, great, easy to set up app,

thanks for all your suggestion guys. have tried out pocketcloud and teamviewer(phonepc is so expensive! these 2 are free.) and i think i like teamviwer a tad better because of the mouse system...its more "touch based" if u get what i mean. awesome! :good::good:
phone my pc....
that is the name of the app....
Enjoy and say thaks
SplashTop is pretty good as well
as long as you have a google account and you register it, you can actually connect to your PC through 3g network anywhere. I feel that it's kind of hard to use at the moment, but they are coming out with a new version soon so hope that helps.

Unified Remote is what you're looking for.

For simple control, there's always VNC (and there's definitely at least one viewer for Android). If you're still running GNOME, it had (has? I don't know about GNOME 3 *shudder*) an integrated VNC server in the form of Vinagre. Else there's x11vnc. Unlike with Team Viewer, though, you get to have the fun of port forwarding etc. yourself if you wish to use it to control your computer outside of your home network.
Log me in is by far the superior alternative. Multiple PC's from anywhere.

[Q] Remote access app

Hi.
I'm new here, so apologies in advance if i ask a question that was handled in a previous thread.
I'm looking for a decent app that will allow me to control an android device from a pc. I have a tablet that is being used as a kiosk device and i would like to connect remotely and check the status of apps, run scripts, generally just troubleshoot issues that might pop up from time to time. I would like screen sharing also, that would make things a lot easier. I've tried webkey, teamviewer, airdroid but none of them give me the kind of functionality I need
At the moment I'm using a Nexus 7, but I'd like the app to work on any device. In future we might start using generic android devices, nothing brand-specific.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated

Hey,
once there was ShareKM the dev kinda dropped the projekt. I found some Guides for it because the old version stopped working.
Here is the original thread ShareKM on XDA
If you read it a bit they start to talk about the workarounds.
Hope that helps you I'm also very interested in this.
i found app that will help you to remotely control your tablet

Thanks. But as far as I can see, this only works if the pc and android device are on the same network. My kiosk devices are hundreds of kilometers away, so I need something that works over the internet

Screen mirror remote control from Android to Android possible?

Is there such a thing that lets me mirror and control another Android device from an Android device (like Teamviewer)?
Root and xposed is not a problem.
I'm trying to do something similar as in my post on this forum yesterday titled "Video mirroring/sharing between 2 tablets". It's worth trying the app ShareScreen by Spring Design, though I couldn't get it to do what I need. Let me know if you find anything!

No this is nothing I can use, the screensharing is just the means to make the remote control easy and effective. I need full control like I would hold the other device in my hand.
Did you try Teamviewer? I had no success but looked like it should work.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Free mobile app
Teamviewer is no use because they sadly don't support Android 2 Android connections. Otherwise it would probably be perfect. Since I mentioned Teamviewer in my first post there would be no reason for my question if it worked.
