Hey folks,
Bit of a noob question I am sure, but if y'all could humor me...
Been using Webkey for a while to remotely control the EVO. I run Ubuntu and am looking for something that will give me direct-connection control over the EVO on-screen (mouse, keyboard, etc) without the lag that comes with Webkey or access over WiFi.
Any suggestions?

Not trying to be impatient, just curious.. does the lack of response mean there isn't anything better than Webkey?
Splashtop works fast on win7 I've not tried it on Linux cuz I can shell in manually but ill see if its compatible
Looks like its PC and Mac only its pretty quick for using it on win7 I can do anything from PC to phone or vice versa from anywhere as long as they are both online I use it to snag files for work when I'm out

Sorry, I just realized I may have phrased my question wrong.
I am looking for something that I can use primarily when my phone is right in front of me (instead of remotely when my phone is elsewhere.)
I am looking for the fastest possible interface up on screen (which I am assuming would be if I plugged it directly into my PC) This is primarily so I can use my monitor as the screen for a bigger display and my PC keyboard for faster typing.
If "shell-ing in manually" would accomplish this, can you point me in the right direction so I can learn about it?
I know, noob question. Thanks for all your help!
HDMI cable and a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard would probably be the fastest for right there at the PC or HD TV IMO

I use my Apple Mighty BT Keyboard and it works perfectly. I'm using CM6 and I know that ROM had an upgraded BT stack. I'm not sure if other ROM's have it enabled.

Same here, the IMAC keyboard and mouse both work with CM6. Mouse is not much use now, but it does work, just don't orient the device horizontally, last I tested, CM6.0 it doesn't alter the mouse directions with the display.
CM6 is the ONLY ROM currently that will allow you to use it. It won't work stock, or with any other custom ROM. There is one other AOSP rom that someone was working on, but it had the same flaws as CM6, i.e. no 4G, HDMI, FM radio etc.
I would go with CM6 if you wanted this.
so me running fresh 3.1.0.2, that keyboard would not work? only CM6? :-/
Ideas on another keyboard? Id want to keep my phone horizontal with the stand and use it to take notes on in class. It would keep things simple than taking a netbook with me to class
Nope no other way. There is an alternative though which requires you to be at a computer but lets you tour from the pc and display on your phone.
Check out AndroidCentral.com its on the front page. It must likely won't help but its a cool read.

Your Tab must be rooted and you have to have a kernel with loop device support.

Go Launcher EX with custom Glass Sense Theme
sadly, this has been done before. not trying to sound negative though some people might find it useful.
there was a project at one point where they were trying to get it to run native, but idk where it stands anymore.
i'm more interested in getting ICS functioning like it should if they get anything other than ubuntu running natively on the tab and it runs great, i'm all for it. ubuntu is bloated to hell now and i dont like the unity interface at all. i've been using MINT as of lately and i've been liking it so far
Why would anyone try to run two Linux operating systems at the same time on the cramped little Galaxy Tab is beyond my comprehension.
Still... seeing some of you guys are keen on connecting though a socket to another OS using your Tabs, try getting into a windows using Teamviewer (anyone can do it, no skill or risk involved and free of charge!). Or, if you feel adventurous, you can set up a VNC server on Windows, Linux (any distro) and establish a VNC connection directly to your desktop/laptop over wifi or 3/4G.
That should run at least twice as fast and provide the same results without your Tab heating up and eating a lavish 1A/h...
Peace,
C.

it doesn't have a gui you have to install it yourself. I installed gnome because i hate unity too.
Just a question.. if we can do that ... all we have to do it connect a keyboard and a mouse via Bluetooth and we will have here a tablet or something..
no ??
We probably would be able to, but you'd have to do a bit of hacking if you wanted it to run.

Yeah I for one would like to run something like Ubuntu with a GUI that we can connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to.
Our physical screen size plus a little higher "resolution" through lowering DPI would be perfect.
Having an actual computer phone would be dope!
I think so.. that would be awesome ...

One can increase resolution nicely with LCD Density Modder application, and I suppose others as well. The Bluetooth keyboard is a nice idea: has anyone tried it?
I have a BT keyboard I got from Amazon that I use with my phone sometimes. It's supposed to be for a Galaxy Tab but it works great.
I'd like to have an Android/Ubuntu dual-boot system, that's be rad.
I'm thinking it will eat the battery, plus ur gunna have to use vnc anyway which will ruin the experience?
-- i know its localhost
if that's a possibility, how can we add the cell applications to ubuntu though??
I remember doing it on my HTC G1 back in the day. It was actually VNC viewer but it was a full blown Linux that run and operated on the phone. Can't remember which distro it was. It had a lot of steps to get to work if I remember correctly.
I wouldn't be surprised if the method today was just a few steps and/or zip. I'm sure if you Google something, the methods should apply to our phone as well. I'd be nice if we could dual boot.
It was Debian.

In all honesty we barely have any devs (mostly just modders), so to be able to port something of this magnitude of our phone is probably not going to happen for a long time if ever
I'll try to do this today, but im not sure if our kernels supports loop devices.
I had chrooted ubuntu working, although it messed with my efs partition :-\ the idea is to get the subsystem up and running, then vnc into it from the android side. Its still a "local" installation but no working x11

how do we even start the installation ??
we copy it to the card .. and make the installation from it ??
and .. in both ways .. if it works .. or if it doesn't.. we just odin back ??
They had Ubuntu distros for the HD2, so it IS possible. Keeping my fingers crossed.
... Am I the only one interested in this ??
I mean .. where do we start from ??
We take that distro for HD2 and use it on our cell ??
The HD2 distro won't work on our phones, I was just giving that as an example that this CAN be done.
There will be more devs popping up, I'm sure of that. This phone has only been out for a few months, just be patient.

Hey All,
As the title (I hope) indicates, I'm looking to get a bluetooth keyboard to hook up to my INC2. I (suppose) foolishly bought a keyboard already (Motorola Xoom) and I thought no prob- updated software, bluetooth is bluetooth, and I should be good to go. Not so. I can pair them, but I cant get they keyboard to actually work as an input device.
Also, I cant seem to pair that keyboard (successfully) with my PS3. I dont think I'm just bad at pairing things, as I'm able to do it with tons of other stuff, so I'm looking for advice. Did I pair it wrong somehow? Do I need to get a different keyboard? Will the INC2 just not work with keyboards?
Thanks so much!
Sleepraider
nothing?Any thoughts? Is the keyboard crap? Is this a obvious thing that I missed? Any keyboards known to work that are relatively inexpensive?
See if you can find an app on the market that supports bluetooth keyboard support, Most often what you need is a substitute keyboard app, kind of like when people hook up PS3 remotes or wii motes to their phones. Here's a link to an app I just quickly searched up as an example. I can't personally vouch for it though.

Alright.. I'm giving it a quick try right now. Had thought I tried that app, but I tried a ton w/o any success., so I'll try again.
FWIW, this is one of the most important features for me at this point, so I'll do any ROM the INC2 can handle if it means making this work.
Sleep
Tried it.. and pretty much every decent looking app I could find in the app market.
Testing now to see if I can pair my new keyboard to my desktop via bluetooth and if that works. Maybe the keyboard is actually dysfunctional?

I'm back and I wanted to supply more info. I connected the bt keyboard I just bought with my desktop.. it works great on there.
I connected my desktop BT keyboard to my phone-- same prob; it pairs, never connects. Looking much more like a phone/software issue IMO.
Wondering if this is the phone (shouldnt be, right?) or if this is my ROM. If its the ROM, any ROM that might work? Any solution....at all?

The only way you're going to know if it has any possibility with working is if you can pair it on the stock official (or close to official, ie...andybones stock) software. If it doesn't work there, it's highly unlikely that it will work on any rom. If it does, then you'll probably have to just try each rom one at a time. I don't think that's a highly sought after feature for other people though, so it's unlikely much development has been put into it.

Sadly, I think this is true and I just need to find a different solution. I'm a grad student and where I work blocks my gmail, which was the main reason I wanted the keyboard, so I could type well formed responses while at work when not busy, and not have to wait to do all my "student work" when I get home from work. I guess I'll likely end up finding another solution. Perhaps I can use my netbook with my phone and get a wifi hotspot going to be able to answer emails? I guess I need to toy a bit more.

I've tried all of them.. there's nothing wrong with them.. I just dont like them. I'm an excellent typist with a typical keyboard, but I admit I just suck with touchscreen keyboards...
No worries, I just played around a bit and was able to easily set up my netbook to use for gmail while I use my phone as a hotspot. If anyone has a good app recommendation that will allow me to track how much data that actually uses, I'd love that. Seems like a much easier request than the BT keyboard request.

Now I'm thinking about it.. what if I installed Ubuntu.. which would likely have the drivers for bluetooth. I'm a very experienced linux user and have 5+ years of ubuntu experience. Perhaps using ubuntu on my phone is the workaround I've been looking for! Do we know if you can use USB keyboards (I'd expect this to be true) when you install ubuntu alongside? Anyone done it well on a DINC2?

Thanks. I'm happy using CloverPaint as a standalone drawing package especially with the constant addition of new features that are making it comparable to a full windows drawing package. I just like exploring additional options so that I can make sure I'm getting the most of my tech. People pay £100s for a wacom tablet so having one I can use already included in this tablet is a great positive. I'll try out virtualtablet.
