Any one knows a software that can use G-Notes stylus pen to draw on PC?
i want to draw on MS-PAINT using my stylus.
can that be done?
please help
thanks in advance!
second that
I have been looking all over for an app like this, not confined to a single program on windows but working like any Wacom tablet.
If love that as well! Sounds like there's an business opportunity for an enterprising developer...

As long as you have the Tablet PC it could work.
The vice versa can also be truth - used to have HP TX2650 tablet, all I've got left now is the pen, which works perfectly on the note
Not possible without hardware modification to your computer monitor.
PRemoteDroid on the market, lets you connect your note to the PC via wifi.
it lets me use my galaxy note as a drawing tablet for the PC. its not the most accurate thing to use though, but its better than nothing.

You both misunderstand what the OP is asking for. He isn't asking to use the S-Pen to draw on a PC monitor, no, he is asking to use the Note as a digitizer tablet.
Using the Note as a digitizer tablet for a PC is certainly possible, but it requires quite a lot of work because one must code a complete virtual digitizer driver. Transferring data between the phone and the virtual driver is the simple part.
That said I think you'd be better off just buying a cheap digitizer tablet somewhere, the Note is too small to use comfortably like that.

come to think of it, you might be perfectly right, although the "use G-Notes stylus pen to draw on PC" is bit vague, anyway it would be a funny idea

Use Galaxy Note as digitizer or graphics tablet for PC
created small weekend project that does just that:
to see video or dovnload: piip.lv/galaxy_note_digitizer_graphics_tablet_for_pc.html or just search:
"Use Galaxy Note as digitizer or graphics tablet for PC" and you should see the result.

Excellent! Please develop this further. This app would be ideal for drawing diagrams while in meetings and can take the things you can do with the Note to the next level.

I actually couldn't get it to work. There is no black screen on my computer when I run the client. Running the client on the computer just opens up a small window which detects the finger and shows the output in some numbers. When I write on the Note, I see the writing, but it closes the app in a couple of seconds. I have windows 7.
The app looks very promising.

App closes when orientation is changed. that's a bug. (just disable screen rotation)
about black screen on PC , its just some drawing application with black background. this small app on PC just forces cursor to move. and when you use stylus, it imitates mouse press. just open mspaint and try it.

Wow you should be on the xda homepage with this awesome program THANKS!
Hey dzjosjusuns! Any update on that? Would you consider making a Linux version of the server?
This is a really cool and useful feature
But unfortunately it's not working for me, i just tried to install it on my n7000
After i copied the apk file over to my phone, i tried to open it and got the 'Parsing Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Do you think this might have something to do with it not being compatible with Gingerbread 2.3.6?
Sorry if it sounds like a bit of a dumb question but I'm a noob to all of this

Is hdmi mirroring possible?
in build.prop theres this:
ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=false
ro.hdmi.default.app=
hw.overlay.path.config=
Click to expand...

changing the first line to true WORKS only at boot, it correctly mirrors what you see on your phone. but once the phone is done booting, it kicks the TV to a black screen and the phone asks you if you want to open up the entertainment app or do nothing.
So mirroring is there, its just blocked by something on boot.

Sorry, I just ordered my phone, so I don't have one to tinker with yet. But maybe you can use titanium backup to freeze the app. If it doesn't show up as an app, maybe you can use autostarts to try and stop it. Finally, the last idea I have is to poke around in the init scripts to find the offending app. All of this is just speculation, but since you can see mirroring at bootup I think it is pretty clear that the webtop app is causing the issue.
I can confirm this. It boots to the homescreens. I got to unlock and touch a widget. Then it disappeared, the box came up asking if I wanted to connect to the entertainment center.
I back through my apps with titanium backup and froze anything regarding hdmi. The entertainment box went away, but it still takes away hdmi mirroring.
I didn't have any results with autostarts either, but I don't really know what to look for.

Tried to freeze up some services with Titanium backup - no luck so far.
There is something happening during the boot process which disables the mirroring.
Tried this also. Same results.
I went into Titanium Backup and deleted the Entertainment Center application as well as a couple of other ones I thought might be the reason. But, it still switched off to a black screen after a few seconds.
Any updates on this?
I still don't have a phone yet, but I had another realization.
When you plug in the HDMI cord, the phone pops up with options regarding what to display. i.e. the webtop or the entertainment center. Ergo, something lower in the OS than the webtop is blocking the HDMI port.
However, my thought is, rather than block this, we need to figure out how to make another entry in this list. So the options read, webtop, entertainment, and mirroring.
Unfortunately this may require waiting for Moto to release the code. It will also require someone with coding skill. I for one have never worked with Android and have very poor experience with even Java.
This subject is being killed all over the forums in different threads. The hdmi is being toggled for different apps like webtop or media. The config is the other part that supports the hdmi app service options. We have dumped the apk into smalli and have confirmed this.
There is devs working on webtop without dock and it maybe beneficial to combine these efforts to support display mirroring... just a thought

There is no need for dedicated mirroring now that you can launch the webtop without the dock.
You can run mobile view full screen once you launch webtop.... and alas, you have HDMI mirroring.

Well thats not fully correct, if you launch a app that has on screen buttons like games or emulators..you cant use or play them using the phone as these dont show up on phone.
so we could still do with mirroring for atrix

As of now the best solution is to do what leadguy68 suggested. I don't think any dev is working on it. It is just not worth it since what you want to accomplish can be done with just one additional mouse click after enabling webtop.
If I am wrong and any devs are still working on this, please ignore this thread, otherwise it is prudent to close this thread. Or maybe OP can state this in the first post so that people stop asking about HDMI mirroring.

I think it's dumb to end a thread because YOU aren't interested in something. I think it'd be a damn good idea to get mirroring running. The webtop mirror is laggy, and I want to play a real game of angry birds on a 100" screen, lol. Keep the work up, if anyone is working on it. I'll keep trying on my end to get it working.

exactly. mirroring is still highly sought after. Like another said earlier, for people who want to run emulators, you're sol with the webtop, theres no onscreen buttons AND you cant use your wii-mote while in webtop mode.
Agreed. Still very much needed for games. Web top game emulation is laggy.

Hey all!
I've had the tab for a while and its pretty much been with me for UNI alot more than my laptop.
I don't do much word processing, but alot of PDF reading. Sometimes I'd need to have 2-3 PDFs open (e.g one is the assignment question and one is reference). It's a real hassle having to open and close a PDF and also scroll back to were I was before.
I've read the Notion ink has "panels" where things are open at the same time... but that is a whole ROM thing. Any ideas?
Also, having seen the HP touchpad and pre phones, that "tap to share" feature is cool. I know its more a hardware thing, but I also know there is an app called bump which sends pics via bumping the devices.
Thing is, you need to be online for that. I'd usually tether my phone so that my tab has internet, but is there an equivalent using bluetooth? Bump to send anything would be nice!
Thanks in advance!

Don't think there's an app on android as of yet on reading 2 PDF's at the same time, think there's a one in the Appstore (kno) but obviously that won't work on the Galaxy tab or any other android devices.

Wanna turn your Screen off while watching videos over HDMI?
Or need a watchful Xoom but don´t want the screen to be on all the time?
Here´s the app you need!
Description:
The App adds the posibility to turn off the lcd backlight to your xoom. Its nothing less then a shutdown-button for your display backlight.
The app toggles your lcd backlight to zero and back, said doesn´t just overlay your screen with black, like the other apps inside the market.
it turns off your screen light completly , but the screen stays responsible and the devices stays awake.
Use it instead of locking your xoom, if you need your device itself to be active but dont need the display to be on, e.g. while you´re watching videos over hdmi, use your xoom as a vnc server or something like that.

Use this awesome little App with some "starter app" of your choice.
For example, use the Shaking Shortcurt App, register ToggleScreenXoom.apk and you could turn your screen on/off with just shaking your device.
(tested on xoom [email protected] but should work on every rooted xoom)

"Basically" the same as the old method, right. Just in one app without the need of configuration and with more flexibility to be launched by other apps.
Maybe you´ll try "Shaking Shortcurt". A nice app that lets you launch two other apps by shaking your xoom.
Yeah, think I'll try that instead of SwipePad. Since Swipepad rely's on the borders of the screen and Cornerstone alters the borders, I'm guessing that's the issue. Maybe the Shaking app won't have that issue.
Thanks again for the clarification, and the thread. I really can't believe this thread hasn't blown up!

just install the app and execute to turn off your screen and again (remember the position) to turn it back on.
or use a starter app like "Shaking Shortcut" to toggle the screen on and off by shaking your xoom.

First post is edited to get it straight.
Does this only work on the xoom? I have an acer 510 and I want something like this. It sounds like this gets launched in conjunction with whatever app you launch. I'd rather that while on hdmi the tablet display is off entirely. Or maybe this does that as well.
So is this specific to the xoom?

According to the readme provided in the zip file this application seems to be specific for the Xoom, or at least a few tegra 2 tablets.
That's disappointing. Why would manufacturer's assume that a user wants the display to stay on while using hdmi?! How about a sane default like leave hdmi output on and turn off tablet display after the normal inactivity duration. But allow a keyboard/mouse not to be recognized as tablet activity.
Could this be modified to work with more devices? Or say newer tegra 3 devices if it's chipset specific. But really, ics should have some application layer to control things like hdmi res, screen active etc...
Nice! Works in AOKP
First of all, this is a great app, and it works well in AOKP (build 37).
To trigger the app, I set my "home" softkey on my xoom (in Rom Control) to trigger the app when the key is held. Even though you can't see the softkeys when on hdmi, after a while, its exact location is easy to recall.
It is really convenient. Thanks for the much needed addition to a great device.
My SGN display was broken including the LCD, hence i'm not able to see anything. I'd like to access and control the device from my PC, what is the best app for this?

I won't say it's easy but if you are on a Samsung based ROM you might have a chance. (Obviously you'll need to buy a MHL cable though.)
Alternatively, if you've got USB Debugging turned on then you might be able to use Droid Explorer which includes a remote control add-on.
Yes, mhl cable +hdmi is the best chance

Just lock the screen with the power button - Press power button again then;

Lol, i just figured out what the menu key is. I must admit it wasn't a key i used alot.
Something else i just found out, the bottom 1/4 of the screen, touch doesn't work.
I'm starting to lose hope of getting this done.
Could you swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification screen, there is a settings link there, thats where i'm use to getting to the settings from. I think with a screen shot of that i'll be able to get it done.
Got it done. Found a pic on the internet of the screen i was talking about. Would still like a proper pic. :good:

Any chance you have AirDroid installed? It has a live view (screenshot) in pc browser ability built in, it can help if you don't have an MHL adapter.
If not, force an install from accessing play store from pc.

I had the 'great idea' to hook a monitor, keyboard and mouse to my Atrix HD and use it as a PC (to save $70 month on internet) Problem is, it's HORRIBLE. It goes into some kind of 'Dock' mode, and you can only have 4 icons. Flash player doesn't work in Chrome or Browser, so you have to launch youtube videos in a new window. Plus, all these ****ing "mobile" websites that everyone loves suck, and I can't figure out how to change Chromes user-agent header.
I bought this cable: shop dot teamblackhat dot info Cables_c4.htm
Think I'm going to try and root it and get the wifi hotspot to work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the 'Dock' mode from showing up? It's worse than just the normal phone (which wouldn't be bad)
Forget chrome bro, its oversimplified garbage. With stock browser you only have to set desktop mode once every time you open it, with chome its everytime you open a website + everytime you open the browser.
Also, chrome doesnt have plugin support, you need this flash, and it will work in default browser: Adobe_Flash_Player_11.1.115.17.apk
When the dock notification comes, you should chose charge only so it doesnt switch to clock mode. BTW JB is **** with hdmi, google messed it up.

thanks but none of the settings solved the screwed up display on a lapdock.
But I can't see how it's still ok mirroring to the 2 TVs we have at home.

Seems like they only support 720p and 1080p resolution now...
atrix hd does not support webtop like other motos, so it will only look like a big android screen just like the phone. no tablet mode or anything like that.

I didn't see any reference to webtop. we all asked for true 720p display on the lapdocks.

if it support 720p, we would get a very small black band around the display (as if you plug any other hdmi capable device in the lapdock (like a blue-ray player))
there's something wrong like if they targeted the lapdock on purpose.
