Anyone seen an app like this for the Android? I would love to be able to control my laptop whenever I hook it up to the HDTV.

Haven't seen one for Android, but I've used a purpose built airmouse before for presentations.....it worked surprisingly well!
Something like this for Android would be excellent....also lots of fun to screw with your co-workers....almost as much fun as the Annoy-o-tron.
Well... there is an app that I have used called RemoteDroid. You need to have a small java app running in the background of the pc that you want to control but it basically turns your phone into a touchpad mouse. You can also check out Android Joystick which is basically the same concept except you tilt the phone the direction that you want to move. Kinda beta-ish and possibly abandonded but it's worth a look. I'm sure that there are more out there though. I did a search on Market for the word "Remote" and came up with a several varity of possible apps that may work for you. However as far as I can tell... there is no "Mobile Air Mouse" specific to the Android phones as of yet. It looks pretty interesting though.
GMote works for me.

Gmote looks like it doesnt even have keyboard or trackpad support. It seems to be just a media browser.

Is that the Gmote you are referring to?

Thanks, RemoteDroid works great
GMote has both trackball and keyboard support, plus streaming. One. Great app!

hmmm, i just checked the website again and I see it listed under the FAQ. Seems like that would be a feature they would want on the front page and in the screenshots...lol
If you just need trackball and keyboard support, RemoteDroid does it. Plus, RemoteDroid doesnt need to be installed on your computer just a 74.1 KB zip file with a java file needs to be run. Gmote requires you to download a 23 MB install file.
Gmote does have a larger install...but I can use my phone to control the computer, with Keyboard/trackpad/ball, and make my computer start playing music/vids, Open a web site I was reading on the phone, and play my music directly from the PC on my phone...so...yeah it's bigger...but it's also better, at least for me =). Also, running windows 7 here, remotedroid lags a LOT for me.
Thanks for the info.
I ended up having to install Gmote on my MacBook Pro. RemoteDroid wouldnt work for some reason on my Mac but Gmote works just fine. RemoteDroid works fine on WinXP though.
Question about Gmote: Is there a way to show mouse buttons on the touchpad?
Unfortunatly that is the one thing that I have been waiting for. Currently I can't click and drag due to the lacking button/multitouch.
But it still rocks =D
This is what you want
Android air mouse.
www dot mobilongtech dot com
I am not allowed to post external link. sorry for that.
gremote pro by GBM software works flawlessly.
premotedroid works successfully too.
Does anybody know any application that emulate mouse via accelerometer like Logitech MX Air Mouse?
Bluewave air mouse is nice. However, currently no accelerometer based app exists that I know of. The air mouse app on the iPhone doesn't really work flawlessly, I like trackpad apps much better. However: accelerometer + get it working as a bluetooth mouse = heaven.

I have found the app that do this - MultiRemote.
In settings you can turn on wiiMode and after that move the mouse via phone position.
In top-bottom it works good, but for moving left-right I need to change the angle of phone (to left or right), but better will be to detect direction via compass or something else.
Or another method - detect not angle, but moving the device (top, bottom, left, right) - is it possible?
Does accelerometer detect only angle changing? Or it can detect device moving (accelerating and stopping)?
How does the program like Shwartz detects phone moving?
I use phone my pc. It has keyboard/mouse function. Control live/remote desktop style, control specific processes and such, and many more options.
The Best, hands down

RemoteDroid sucks, with Gmote you have to keep CMD running. The best by far is PhoneMyPc, it's around 10$, but you could get it free. Here's how, you'll need the aforum app, once in go to shared topics. The post is 3 months old so scroll a bit, the topic is (I'm hosting this site, plenty of apps for android etc.) There's a link that will take you where you need to go. The benefits of this app are, you can control as many computers as you want from anywhere in the world and can be used as a mouse, or you can interact live with your PC, keyboard from it and everything, works fine on 3G and even better with wifi, it's a beautiful thing, trust me. When I'm doing something on the computer and I have to fly, I can finish up from my phone on my PC. Some shots so you can see a bit.
Okay folks, so what's the last word on this one? Is there, or is there no Android app that does what www.mobilemouse.com does on iPhone? I am specifically interested in the "air mouse" bit, which means accelerometer-based cursor movement, no trackpad or other garbage. Does GRemote do that? Anyone tried it?
P.S. Ideally, the app should turn the Android phone into a Bluetooth HID air mouse, so that no SW has to be installed on the PC.

A nicer way to do it would be good, but to click and drag: click and hold the trackball and drag on the touchpad.
This software lets you use the keyboard on your Fuze/Touch Pro as a wireless keyboard and the touchscreen as a Touch Pad Mouse like the kind on a laptop. Unfortunately this software is not free but they do have a trial version that you can try and the only limitation is it forces you to reconnect after every 30 clicks. This program can use either WIFI or Bluetooth to connect to your computer and pretty much lets you do anything from controlling Vista Media Center and Winamp to controlling your computer as long as you can write a script.
The software is called Salling Clicker
http://www.salling.com/
The program uses scripts that people create and post on the forum. I wrote this script a long time ago for my HTC Hermes to control my computer.
I don't know anything about programming or coding but I managed to write this script in about one night after reading a few basic tutorials and help from the forum members on Salling's forum. Since I put this together without any real knowledge this script is really basic but get the job done. If anyone wants to improve the script your welcome too, perhap you can smooth out the mouse movement and sensitivity even more.
Installation Instructions
1. Download and install the software on your PC
2. Pair up your phone with the computer by Bluetooth or use Wifi
3. Choose the correct phone from the drop down menu ( Touch Pro in this case) and it will begin to install the client software to your Phone.
4. Download my script and unrar into My Clicker Scripts located in My Documents
5. Open up the host software on your PC and drag the script called "HTC Universal Keyboard and Mouse" from the right box into the left box labeled "Items available on your handheld device".
6. Start up the program on your Fuze and establish a connection and choose the "HTC Universal Keyboard and Mouse" script to run
7.??????
8. Profit!
Thanks alot, i will definitely give this a try

Anybody have this working on a Fuze? The only thing that will open is GMouse, and the only things that work inside it is the left click and moving the cursor but that only works if the left mouse click is held down making me highlight a bunch of stuff.

+1..
one of my favorite apps.
Not that i use it alot, but yea gremote is great. Using your phone for a steering wheel for racing games works great. Or if you got a decent set of speakers, you can change the songtrack or volume from the backyard while your planting your two-lips.

Same here. I tried a Logitech wireless keyboard with touchpad that's specifically made to use with a PS3. The zoom feature was aweful when using the web browser, so I returned it.
There's a way to format the PS3's hard drive to either boot up like a normal PS3 or boot up like a Linux computer. I'm gonna check the PS3 forums to see if there's any info posted about using a WinMo device.

No2Chem has a tool that lets you use the they keyboard but with a usb cable heres a link

So I've been experimenting with turning my Note 3 into a mobile media and gaming device. The media part works well (other than a few hiccups with my hdmi connector from time to time). However, I am running into issues playing games with my keyboard.
The specific app I am having issues with is QIII4A, with Open Arena. I can bind my movement keys in the game settings just fine, and my mouse works well. The problem is that my movement keys do not work, at all, when bound to WASD (technically their Dvorak equivalent, but I don't believe that's the issue). When bound to the arrow keys I can move just fine. Crouch and jump also work, Ctrl and space respectively.
I believe it's an issue with my input, possibly not repeatedly sending a key press like it would on a Computer. I use External Keyboard Helper Pro as my input method when I have a keyboard attached. I've played with the settings that seem relevant (pause before key repeating set to none, also tried do not repeat as a test).
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this working? I could change my keyboard layout in EKH, but I'd rather avoid this if possible.
Additionally, is it possible to unbind or rebind mouse keys? Mouse 2 as back is rather annoying.
I'm running root stock mj5, if it matters.
Thanks!

So I've done a bit more testing and it seems to be a problem with any games. Curious to know if there's a known workaround.
On further testing, I noticed that as I hold a movement key I do get some motion, just incredibly slow. Seems that it is sending a string of keypresses instead of one, long keypress. This is also why the jump and use keys work fine, as one short press is plenty. Crtl, alt, and the arrow keys or "gamepad up/down/left/right" as they're mapped work fine.
I did go ahead and create a new layout for gaming, so in the mean time that is probably a decent compromise. Just wish I could go all the way so I could type and game with the same layout. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to post a walkthrough on the key remapping process using external keyboard helper.
Hi,
Maybe someone have a idea for my problem. I want to use tasker to react to keycodes (command of hardware button). But i have no scancode for it cause its created from a Virtual device (strange:silly. Its a android headunit what uses can bus codes of steering wheel. I want to react to dpad left/right (this is mapped in the can bus setup i have no access to) with media previous/next
Because i have no scan code, typical button remapper dont work for my case. I attached a picture of everything this button gives out.
I tried AutoInput but it also doesnt work without scancode. I think there must be a way because gravititybox is able to use keycode 4 (not the one i want to remap).
Maybe tasker can do this for me?
I dont have a solution but I am searching for it too.

You successfully remapped Atoto's steering wheel controls with that?
If there is a keyboard option, for YouTube for example, I haven't found it.

I don't think that there will ever be a Google Home Hub version with a keyboard, since the extra accessoire is against the concept of Smart/Connected Home devices (or what you might call it): Simplify tasks. An extra keyboard is not necessary, because you control the Home Hub (or a similar device) with your voice or via touchscreen. An extra keyboard would just make everyday use more complicated than it has to be
I think he means a virtual keyboard?
The only work around I've see is to ask for info from a Wiki site and then touch the links to what you want to do.
The Google Hub doesn't have an "OS" designed to have a touch screen keyboard and most don't ever expect it to happen. Not sure how I feel about it, since there are some entries where it would be helpful... Especially when you have a contact you are attempting to call and they have a name similar to a person important to Italian history. Rather frustrating.
A recent update has implemented a simple software keyboard.
