I know there are many ways to control a pc with my phone. Ie gmote. But is there anyway I can use my g2's keyboard to input to another android device like my galaxy tab?

i think the only way would be able to connect your G2 via Bluetooth, which I'm not sure how to do.

I agree that Bluetooth would be the way to go. There are many apps that allow this to your PC, but I can't find one which works with another Android device. Hopefully soemone on here has had better luck searching? Or could build on?

I don't think so. There is no app for that. It would only work if ur tablet was running windows 7

A www that would be great... thanks
I think it would be awesome if I was able to somehow mate my G2 with my PS3 using bluetooth and use the touch screen as a mouse and the hardware keyboard as ... well a keyboard for the PS3.
I think the app blueputdroid is very useful for what you're trying to do. I tried using it for my plan, but I kept getting force closes, if you try it, post your results good luck
The size of the N7 makes it idea for taking notes - I can hold the device in one hand and write with the other in a way that's not possible with a 10" sreen. Amusingly the best app I've found for this is Asus SuperNote, but the menu buttons that normally appear on the bottom of a 10" screen don't appear on a 7". Bumping build.prop's ro.sf.lcd_density from 213 to 170 (root req) fixes it, but a system wide change like that for compatibility of one app is a less-than-ideal-solution imo.
Anyone have any ideas for another possible fix?
Just wait on paranoidandroid. You can set DPI for individual apps

I just tried this on Jr5, with the tablet ui mod and I had the nav buttons. It looked great, thanks for that.

I sideloaded supernote on my N7 and noticed the navigation buttons were missing (I'm not rooted and thus running standard DPI).
My work around when in scribble mode I toggle to the keyboard to use backspace, enter key, or insert a space.

Yes, and you can also do a large horizontal swipe from right to left for backspace / delete I think.

Good point. I forgot about that capability.

Ugh, I would pay Asus for a version that scales right. Here's hoping this comes bundled with a 7 inch tablet soon.

Didn't someone say this is basically the same as freenote?

They have now.... thanks. Hmm, Freenote is a fraction of the size too and seems to have more options / is more configurable. Gonna check it out.

Just want to tell you all, that there is an app called "Handwrite Free"! I like it better than freenote, better interface and options.

There's another thread on note taking. I used to like Freenote the best, but in this other thread, someone pointed out Handy Note. It's not free, but well worth the one dollar. Finally something I can actually use, organize, share and backup. Check it out. I tried Supernote as well. Was not good enough for me.

As was suggested early on, I think the idea of having configurable support for screen density of each app (or however you'd describe it) is the solution to this problem and others like it. For now I've suck with stock and the build.prop edit, but I'll probably be on a custom rom with this functionality before long.
Also, I've tried all of the alternate app suggestions in this thread as well as most in the other. There's a wide variety of apps to pick from - some with a little less functionality, some with way way too much more for my liking (and at 30+ megs installed, they'd better do more!).
As mentioned by a few people FreeNote is the best replacement for SuperNote in general design, but with more configurability and features, plus a smaller installed size to boot. However, all the apps I've tried do one curious little annoying thing "wrong" that SuperNote get's right... they misplace descenders (g j p q y) fully above the baseline.
is there now a way to run Supernote perfectly on the nexus 7? If so how would you go about doing that
Has anyone found a way to make it scale with ParanoidAndroid? I have tried 160dpi and different layouts, but never got it quite right :S

If you continue to have issues with SuperNote, consider checking out Handy Note Pro. I found it to be more usable. Plus, there's more than a few user reviews on Google Play that said that they lost all of their work when the app borked.
I just watched a video on youtube about asus memo pad 7, in it they were using supernote lite and the memo pad 7 is a 7" tablet so it should be perfect for a n7.
Someone is bound to get a hold of that apk so I will be on the look out for that!

Me too, but can any of these apps save to Dropbox or custom folder on sd?

You can create an Asus acc and backup there
Jump Desktop looks very promising for a Windows 8 remote desktop. It will allow for you to essentially use the Metro UI from your desktop as if it were installed on your tablet.
Jump Desktop is not updated for Android just yet, but it is coming soon.
Obviously this it running on iOS but it definitely looks promising.
Very cool. Hope it comes soon.

That last looks really really good. Thanks for the share.

should be here shortly with all the amazing people here at xda!!
Jump Desktop is working on Android...I'm using it on my Nexus 7 and my Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Works a treat with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to the Nexus
I'm am also just trying Pocketcloud instead.... Jump Desktop is slightly laggy...but it might be my connection....
Is this better than Splashtop 2?
It need to come ?

I have Jump Desktop and it's not very usable. It refreshes every 5 seconds which is too slow.
I'm a firm believer in Jump Desktop. I use remote desktop often and this is the best I've found. Really designed for tablets in mind.

Jump Desktop 4.0 is currently what is in the app store 5.0 will be the nice update seen in the video.
The 5.0 update adds touch support for Win8. You can essentially use the start menu as if it were Windows RT on the tablet rather than fussing with an annoying mouse cursor on a touch screen.
I haven't seen other remote desktops going that route. It is a new feature for W8 to be able to do this so the others may implement this later as well.
Jump Desktop has just been updated to version 5.0 with full Windows 8 support. I'm using it as we speak.....
going to test this it sounds awesome...

Just bought it and installed. Hands down best rdp app out there! The best thing is that it is not a CPU hog on the PC. Splashtop would max out my old dual core but this program runs at like 40% anyone know why?

I have a 2013 edition Nexus 7 with lollipop keyboard on it. I am trying to get the letters to pop up when they are pressed like they do on my Nexus 5. I have looked and looked and can't figure out if there is any way to do this using the stock keyboard. Under settings on the tablet version of the keyboard, this option doesn't exist. I do not seem to like any of the other keyboards available on the Play Store. Does anyone have any ideas?

I think they've changed it for lollipop. Surely should be the other way around, but oh well
