[Q] Remote Mouse App?

Does anybody know of a good remote mouse/keyboard app for Android? I'm looking for something where I can use my phone as a trackpad/keyboard to control my PC or Mac. If anybody knows anything please let me know! Thanks!!

are you planning to be tethered to the pc ? (ie: connected thru usb port?) or are you trying to basically run a remote-desktop thru wifi a/o cell-system ?
honestly, i have no answer for you... but i must admit this is one of the more interesting questions ive seen... on the first-hand, the hero is way-too-powerful to just be using it as a mouse - altho i guess it could be used that way... otoh, i do not think that the hero would make an effective remote-desktop because it would be under-powered...
ah well, just curious... hope you find something that does whatever it is you want to do... if you are a comman-line-guy, i imagine you could remote-shell (using whatever putty-equivalent-terminals are available) into your pc...
gl, h.

GMote look for it in the market. works great over wifi. it is not marketed as a remote keyboard / mouse app. it is something like a video player. when it loads press menu and then touchpad.

I use TightVNC on desktop and androidVNC on phone, works well.

Stream from WDTV Live Plus to Nook?

As the title suggests, I have both devices and want to hook them up
In case anyone doesn't know, the WDTV Live Plus has a feature that allows it to host the files in an HDD on the network it's connected to. I want to be able to access thosde files directly on the NC and stream them to play on the NC (and my Epic, I suppose).
Right now I'm using the WDTV L+'s connection with my laptop to relay the video to my NC with VLC S&C (big ups to the developer of that app, btw), but there must be a better way.
I'm not new to Android, but I am new to networking, so therein lies my problem. Do I need to have the WDTV request a static IP? Is there an app I can use to simplify this whole process? Is it as simple as using a file explorer Android app that can navigate networked drives?
The WDTV is running stock fw, and the NC is running CM7 stable
Thanks to anyone who can help me out. If anyone can help, it's XDA

Bump. I don't yet have either of these devices, but I'm considering getting both.

Origami Experience and Splashtop

Origami Experience and Splashtop work well together
running windows 7
its like having a virtual/fake windows tablet

you can add your own backgrounds too

I know I'm a bit slow sometimes, but what does this have to do with the G-Tablet or Android? (other than the backgrounds?)

Splashtop Remote desktop is for Android
you can fully access and control your PC
origami provides a more usable touch screen friendly Environment
than using the windows native desktop appearance
so it looks more like a tablet desktop on my gtablet
the images above are how it looks on my android gtablet when connected to my windows Pc with splashtop
and i find it easier to use for my windows media library etc than trying to use the native windows desktop

WoW!
Thanks, Bubble2!
This is GREAT! I have been waiting for some time to play a game called Carcassonne on my gTablet. I have a PC version of the game, and now, thanks to your post, I am able to play it using Splashtop.
One question though. I have windows 7, but when I tried to install Origami, it said the install was not successful. So, I am using Splashtop without the benefit of Origami. Any suggestions? I will try to install Origami again.
Thanks for the info.

Nice. I'm using LogMeIn Ignition to access my pc now but I like the looks of this. Thanks for pointing this out.
Okay, so I checked it out. The Origami Experience piece is what you install on your Windows PC to give it a tablet UI interface. The Spashtop is the actual Android remote access app. Combined you get an interesting experience, but it's not mandatory that you use both. You only need the Origami piece on your pc if you want to see a tablet UI after you've remoted into your Windows box.
All in all it's visually interesting and does let me stream media better than LogMeIn Ignition but that's not what I really use remoting for so for me this app is just okay.

I had the same issue, but I was able to install Origami v2.0
I am unable to post URLs, but search for Origami 2.0 download and you should be able to find it on Microsoft's site.

my first install did not work too(just remembered)
Origami did not appear in programs( taught i did something wrong)
so i installed again and then it appeared in programs
not sure why it needed two installs but it worked second time
when "Origami Now" is running in background but your on your normal desktop
i noticed a slide down tab(widget) at the top of desktop that lets you open Origami
so its nice shortcut too

best RDP app

I am new to the world of the transformer so I am looking for a good rdp app. I tried X2 and the microsoft rdp app but they just dont feel right. I think i will next try splashtop. Just wanted to see what you all are using.

try logmein

i use Teamviewer, do i miss something important ? i mean, whats the advantage of things like Splashtop?

x2 is for sure the best for RDP i was amazed how well it works and its free

I prefer JumpDesktop, because it works perfectly for rdp and vnc. if you only need to connect to windows machines you may give the new microsoft rdp client app a shot.

X2 gets my vote, but the new Microsoft rdp client is supposed to be great if your running Windows 8.1

I could be wrong, but I think it is 2X not X2.
It depends on what you are looking to do. I use 2X (RDP) as well as splashtop.
2X just uses RDP (Terminal Services) built into the OS, no 3rd party app running. The downfall of Terminal Services is there is NO video compression. You will need a good 20 Mbps or more to have a smooth experience at full HD resolutions.
Enter apps like Splashtop. Splashtop runs a server app on the computer and when not connected, it is near dormant. But, look at your CPU usage when connected. On a dual core 2.7 GHz AMD processor, you are looking at 60-70% CPU usage for the video compression. The advantage is you only need 3-5 Mbps for smooth full HD resolutions to work. Also, if you pay for the remote connections with Splashtop you do not need to worry about a NAT on your router, or to use a dynamic DNS client to keep your IP updates so you can connect. Splashtop is free for local (on the same network). I got a free upgrade as I had paid for Splashtop on iOS and was grandfathered for life when they switched to their new model.
I know some others like TeamViewer do not have to pay to connect remotely.
If your home router is a VPN server, just connect to your VPN and then it will appear you are on the same local network.

I rarely have to use my tablet to log into windows remote PC, so JumpDesktop costs money while app like 2x does it well and free. I also try to avoid running additional server side applications, just VNC and RDP is great.
I will give a try to the official Microsoft RDP app!

I'm using RDP to share my windows laptop with my wife the official RDP is nice, but can be trouble if you have a non english keyboard (which is already an issue with RDP anyway ).

Can anyone describe how the TF701 dock's physical keys are mapped In LMI, and when you need to use the on-screen keyboards? Specifically, can the PCs Fn keys, cursor keys, and edit keys be accessed from the physical keyboard, or do you need to use the screen to get to those? I currently do not have the keyboard dock, and am debating if it would help with the LMI app, or if I should get a Windows ultrabook instead.

Looking for a remote to use

I'm looking for a remote to use with my mini..
A Bluetooth keyboard is a little unwieldy. Looking for a a handheld remote (preferably) or an app to run on my phone or tablet. Any ideas?
