Remote control with Teamviewer? - BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers

Hello! I picked up an Amazon Blu R1 HD (16GB) today. My goal is to use it remotely. I rooted the phone as soon a I got it, and installed Teamviewer Host. When I run Host I don't get prompted for root access, and when I try to control the phone the remote side tells me "Remote side does not support remote input". Root Checker does the right thing, so I assume it's properly rooted.
Has anyone run Teamviewer to remote control this device? Is there another remote control platform that would be better?
Thanks in advance!

there are other VNC server options.
I just tried alpha vnc (beta) from play store.
It works but is a beta program so it is not fully functioning, still there are option there. so depending o what you are trying to accomplish. You can try a vnc server app
as for the team viewer app a quick google search shows that the supported device list for the host app does not include this device

You can VNC in to your device if you install droid vnc server from the market (free).

VNC or Teamviewer type server

I have VNC as well as Teamviewer Clients running on SD Froyo with no problems. Does anyone know of a working Server?
Would very much like to control and view the NC from my pc.
BTW... there is a so called "droid vnc server" which does not work.
Remote access
There are a few ways you can go: (Sorry I don't have the links but a search should provide them)
Samba server - do a search here on the forums (free)
File Expert - has a built-in HTTP server (Market - free)
WiFi File Explorer Pro (Market - paid)
Thanks... but what I am looking for is a "Remote Control" Server .
Like VNC, where I can view and control the NOOK or any android device from a windows or Linux VNC viewer
Gotcha
Gotcha - my misunderstanding...
I have that for my iPhone - it would be cool to have control of the interface.
WEBKEY
I have not confirmed this works on NC yet but I use WEBKEY everyday on my epic while at work. It works like a charm, I leave the phone in the other room and control the audio and sms via the network. works over the internet as well as local network.

Controlling Android on a Raspberry Pi

I realize this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to find the answer. If I install Android on a Raspberry Pi attached to my TV, how do I control it? Is there a way to use a regular remote control?
There is always the wireless Keyboard and Mouse option.
I believe you can also use multi-touch touchpads such as Wacom Bamboo.

Thanks for the reply.I was hoping to use a media center remote or something similar, but I assume none of the drivers will work.
If you want to control your RPi using a remote I wouldn't install Android (The current builds aren't that stable and are buggy at best). I would recommend taking a look at Raspbmc, it's Xbmc for the RPi and should be compatible with a variety of media remote controls.

You can Use a Normal Mouse (And Keyboard)
Xbmc isn't really what I'm looking for. If a keyboard and mouse work, maybe someone will figure out how to use a remote.
When android is more polished I think you will have options

What are you looking for then? Since you want to drive it using an IR remote (I'm guessing), that typically indicates some sort of media center.

I run Windows Media Center on all my tv's with the Ceton Companion app to control it. Currently the app does not support streaming live tv but it is supposed to be in the works. When it finally supports streaming to android, I could build a small raspberry pi box and use it as an extender when I'm out of town. If nothing else I would finally have an excuse to buy one.

this is something like what I want, too. I would ultimately like to have an HTPC running android that supports video streaming, local media playback, live tv and streaming of everything above to all my connected devices.....like xbmc, but also with an option to use it as an android device when necessary. I don't want to have to use a mouse and keyboard for it either since my tv is too far away from the couch for that to be a reasonable option.....but mouse and kb support are still necessary for some things. IMHO, the best possible option would be a logitech remote that also has an on-screen pointer and motion controls like a wii remote has.
......come to think of it, an app supporting a wii remote to control android functions wouldn't exactly be a bad solution!!
you can use raspbmc instead of android if you are willing to use it as media center. it also has broader possibilities for choosing a remote.
http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/user/configuring-remotes/
but i prefer this one most
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote
enjoy !
I use a regular remote from my tv when i use raspmbc since it supports cec. The xbmc remote most people use through their Android device is specific for xbmc, so it wouldnt do much good with anything else. Droidmote isnt the prettiest but its functions well. Theres a lot of apps for remotes, that even take advantage of voice and nfc. So when Android is running stable enough, you will be able to take your pic. If your not interested in embedded hardware or other similar usages for the pi, you could always get a g box midnight or minix neo g4 or 5. There all dual core and come rooted with firmware updates that will give you JB and xbmc. There is a quad core one that is out or coming out and will come with JB and full hardware acceleration.

You can also use Tablet Remote

or LANmote

Yatse is a damn good remote for xbmc, it syncs your library list to your device, so you can scroll on device, links to imdb for movies,you can change audio tracks,dl subtitles, and all sorts of cool stuff. And it's free

You can already stream to your ras pi from windows or wherever, I like prefer my tablet or phone. Download the app bubbleupnp from the playstore and it will populate a library of videos, music whatever you have on the device by selecting it as the local renderer and it will see the raspi then press play. Also some android apps like youtube for ex.you can just share it to the app and it will play on your tv connected to the pi. If I want a remote I use the official xmbc remote or if im using a win box to get the media ill use unified remote app. Which then gets cool cause you can use voice and all kinds of stuff.

Control android phone with Fire Remote?

I couldn't find anything remotely (sorry) similar so I'm asking here if anyone can help.
Is there any way of pairing the Fire TV remote to an android phone/tablet & then control the phone with the remote?
Has it been done before and/or is there a specific app I need in order to do this?
I broke my touchscreen digitizer & currently use ADB/Android Control & Remodroid to use it, but it would be much easier if I could just pair a Fire TV remote & use that instead.
The same would apply to watching a movie on my tablet & using the remote to forward/rewind/select etc.
Thanks for your help.

Question Customer IR Remote - Is it possible?

Hello,
I have an Android TV box (x96 Plus), but cannot find a way to program my own remote into the Mi Remote.
Anyone have any ideas?
Dumbest question i have seen today. App itself shows "if you cant find a remote submit a request". Anyway to help you install "Cetus Play" from playstore on your phone.
CetusPlay - TV Remote Server R - Apps on Google Play
This is the TV server and you should download the other CetusPlay for your phone
