May seem kind of weird and you may be asking why I want to do this.
I have a little minitop PC set up and hooked into a TV. The way it's layed out, a mouse and keyboard would not fit in at all. It seems logical I can somehow use the evo as the mouse and/or keyboard on demand.
I see two general possibilities...
1) Using Bluetooth (I'd assume it would be using an AOSP rom such as Cyanogens because of the BT stack)
2) Some sort of remote desktop software that *doesn't* log out the computer once the evo logs in. Windows built in remote desktop is great, however when you log in remotely it brings the computer to the login credentials screen where it says someone now is logged into the computer.
What do you guys think? Is it a possibility?
Have you tried Gmote? I think it's exactly what you are looking for.

install a VNC agent on your PC and use a VNC client on your android like android VNC.
Thank you guys, I'm trying out both as we speak =)

+1 on phone my PC, its always work great for me.
For anyone else that's a Splashtop fan (Like Me!).
Splashtop RDP HD and THD are not currently compatible with the Nexus 7. I've contacted their support email and received the following:
Thanks for your inquiry.
Currently the HD version needs “xLarge” screen, so 7’’ devices are filtered. But the upcoming 2.0 version will add support for “large” screen devices, so Nexus 7 will be supported at that time.
The Gamepad THD app currently only supports ASUS Transformer Prime, we also will add more devices to support, however, since we don’t have a Nexus 7 yet, so I don’t know whether it can be supported in the future.

Hopefully this means we'll have RDP HD soon, but we may still be left looking for a solution for THD.
Mods, I figured this went here since it was discussing a particular App. If not, please feel free to move it appropriately.

I've bought RDP, RDP HD and Gamepad THD so I'm all set hopefully that 2.0 update comes soon though.
It may be possible to use the build.prop mods to alter the density to 160, and get the device reporting itself as xlarge.
Perhaps someone with an actual device could test this?
I got Splashtop THD to login to my PC running ST2 other day but that's as far as I got. I'll try again later in the day & report back.

I was able to get RDP HD installed and connect to a box running 2.0 but all I got was a black screen. I watched myself controlling it (mouse, etc) but no visual on the n7.

Yeap, I got the same result.
That's weird. Both RDP and RDP HD installed and run well on my N7... I bought both versions on the Amazon App Store however. The only reason why I stuck with the RDP version is that the HD version is locked in landscape orientation.

What's your DPI @ when running the HD version and what version is the streamer you're connecting to?
Why can't Splashtop make their HD version part of the original app? Ugh, things like that just annoy me.
I had this issue on my xoom with this app before.
Went to splashtop's site and found a fix.
It had me change something in my registry on my PC. I don't remember what that was though, but I never had that problem again.
Anyone got this working on the N7 if so can you post a video to show if it lags and what not.
Also does this require your pc or laptop to be on at all times?

You're remote connecting to a windows computer.
If the computer is not on, what do you think? lol

Obviously if the computer is off, but what if the computer is in sleep mode, can you wake it from sleep remotely?
How does this compare to something like Teamviewer?
It is also free which is a perk.
Did get Splashtop HD working. It makes me feel like THD might work as well, but I don't have that app yet.
Was getting the blank screen issue, but after uninstalling and reinstalling and reconfirming the settings on my 2.0 pcs, I'm now getting video at both 160 and 213 dpi
Should also mention that I'm using the computer's native display.

The option is there and I've tried on my Windows 7 Desktop, I've put it to sleep and the Splashtop App shows it as unavailable, but under multiple options there's a Wake Up option. But it's never worked for me.

I believe that it should be possible to turn on your computer from sleep if your computer has a wired connection. Not a snowballs chance in hell it would work over wifi though. I think you would be looking for the 'Wake on LAN' option, though be aware that if you protect your PC with a password your computer will turn on but you won't be able to enter the password remotely, you'd have to go to the PC itself to do so.

Of what? It working? No special settings other than setting the remote desktop's Splashtop 1 connectivity options.
What's up guys, I recently placed the 3/28 TWA CM10 ROM on my kindle fire and everything works perfect, except communication with network devices. I use a home automation system called Bitwise which works with hardware in the backend managing all the devices, and it communication through wifi; I use it with the app on my Nexus 7, but on the Hacked kindle fires it doesn't work. I was wondering if there's something wrong with the network driver that's preventing this from functioning correctly?

Does the app force close? Or does it just not work?

It opens, just can't find the other network device
Due to my sons addiction to Minecraft I've been forced to install the "Screen Time Parental Control" app on his rooted Kindle. [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.screentime.rc[/url] ... I'm a noob so it won't let me link!]
It does an excellent job EXCEPT for communicating with the accompanying Remote Control app that I have installed on my phone (so that I can grant him extra time / block his useage etc) [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.screentime.rc][/url]
The Screen Time app on the kindle is obviously communicating to the Remote Control app on my phone because I can see exactly how long my son has been on his kindle and what programs/apps he's using. However, the reverse communication is not working ... I cannot grant extra time / stop his time.
I have contacted the app developed who says that they use Google Play Service to do the communicating, but that they do not currently support Kindles. I have Google Play Service installed and set as a system app, so does anyone know how I might go about getting this app to function properly.
Is it still on amazon is or a custom ROM? I could guess that if its while your phone is on data that it could be a port forwarding issue if the tablet is on WiFi and you are somewhere else trying to connect to it, but I am just guessing.

Thanks for your help.
It's still on Amazon. I think you are right about port forwarding. It says this in the developers troubleshooting page ...
""Play", "Pause" messages are not getting to my child's device"
Make sure the system time, date and time zone on yours and your child's devices are correct. If you use a firewall that restricts the traffic to or from the Internet, you need to configure it to allow connectivity with Google's messaging servers (the ports to open are: 5228, 5229, and 5230).Have you any idea what that means ... or how I ensure those ports are open?!!
You have to port forward the ports on your router that the kindle is on. It is really easy to do, there a site that tells how to do it: http://portforward.com/
I don't know if it has Google services listed as an app, but any game/app will work, just use the ports mentioned instead of what they would say for a different game/app and see if you can get it working.

Basically, I'm looking to control my Galaxy Note 4 from my PC with a keyboard and mouse. Can this be done somehow over my WiFi? I read about an app called mobizen, but I have no clue how it works. Anyone familiar with this? What I want to do, is basically:
Drag files in and out of my phone to/from PC
Use my PC's keyboard and mouse to do things like texting or typing in messages into my phone with other apps
Try Samsung SideSync.

You might also try Mobizen. I use that with my Note 2.

By any chance, when attempting to install Mobizen on your PC, did you get a "File Copy Error!!" when first launching Mobizen (which runs an auto update that causes this message)?
That said, Mobizen isn't currently an option since it doesn't even run on my PC. Apparently, I'm not the only one to have this problem with it.
Any other suggestions on remote connection to phone?
I use Team Viewer to control all of my Android devices. Unlike the PC to PC connection, however, the phone must "accept" the remote control request each time.
I second Team Viewer, it's free and fast and easy.
I mostly use it the other way around to control my PC but it works great either way!

Team Viewer from what I understand, won't cut the mustard. For a phone, it only goes from phone to PC, thus putting your PC on your phone, correct? You can't "Call" your phone via Teamspeak. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, that would be nice if it did do that.
You would need TeamViewer's Quick Support app plus the Samsung module. Both can be found in the Play Store.
I would second SideSync. It works really well and has a keyboard and mouse only option.
