Smart TV Keyboard App

Hey Guys,
i would like to ask if there's an Application to use my S3 as a Keyboard for my Samsung Smart TV. I used the App from Samsung but you only can use it as a normal remote.

I've found that "smart remote" is the best for me

Does the smart remote app support the s3's 720p resolution?

Find samsung smartview app on xda several big threads. The app from Samsung app store sucks. Search whole xda. Depending on your tv model you also have dual screen option. On newer models 7500 series and up. Last year 7000 series and up. I have it but can't find where I left the apk. Note keyboard only works in browser. Once you're in Netflix for example its back to remote typing. Same happens with blue tooth keyboard. It's up to the app it seems to offer support.

Some versions do. Using 3.2.0 smartview version currently without stretching or parts being cut off.
Tried several smart remotes also without problems and few that did not show well.

How to Miracast with 4.2?

So I just installed 4.2 on my i747 today. How does Miracast work? I have a Samsung 55D6500 tv that has built in wireless.

Does the phone support it?

The TV has to support DLNA.... Install Allshare on your phone... If the TV doesn't support DLNA, then it's not gonna happen...

Before you can even do Miracast, I believe CyanogenMod needs to support it, I haven't seen anything in Gerrit to support that Miracast has been added into 4.2 yet.
In theory there also has to be Miracast support for your device released (which Samsung has released, but I guarantee you that the drivers for it are closed source or outdated like everything else Samsung seems to do with the development community.) Keep in mind, just because it is supported by the OS doesn't mean it is supported by your phone. If it was Stock 4.2 (Samsung Stock) on your SGSIII then yes, Miracast would be implemented. Since it isn't, CyanogenMod has no obligations, nor guarantees that they will include that.

Except, that's not true. Some newer TV's support WiFi Direct screen mirroring, his TV might support it (I didn't look it up) if it does support the WiFi Direct Screen Mirroring (WiDi, now known as Miracast) then Samsung's Mirroring software would work if his device was stock, same thing with an LG Nexus 4 also running stock, or a Laptop.

So he's referring to mirroring his phone on his TV, not streaming?

Yep, that's what Miracast does, Mirrors through WiFi....it's a great idea, pretty much Open Sourced Airplay.

Ahhh... not sure why I would use that, but sounds cool... I guess have a movie playing mirrored to the TV?
Sorry I provided mis-info I thought he just wanted to stream to the TV... and I know it's OT, but I've found the best way to stream to the TV is having a DLNA supported router... I would still need Allshare on my phone, but not the computer, only the Media Center stuff....

Yeah my TV supports DLNA. I used to be able to stream pictures and video to my TV when I was on stock TW. Now that I flashed the latest CM10.1, wondering if it's possible to Miracast. Sounds like cm doesn't it support it... Yet.

Think about it like this, say you have a movie on your phone that you want to bring to your Buddy's house, but he doesn't have it, and his TV supports MiraCast....BAM, push the movie to the TV, everyone can watch on a large screen.
Or say you have a presentation on your phone, and the TV supports Miracast, no longer are you locked in one place by your laptop, but you can wirelessly stream the presentation to your projector.

That Allshare app is just a control point. The Actual AllShare app for DLNA requires TW frameworks which don't exist in CM. For DLNA/UPnP use BubbleUPnP. If you want to just push music look into DoubleTwist.

[Q] Any Good IR TV Remote Apps

I was wondering if their are any good Remote Apps for the IR blaster with its own TV guide. I tried the Smart TV but it doesnt seem very user friendly. At least not compaired to my last Phone HTC M8 the stock remote app for that was awesome. Is their anyway i could just find the APK for the HTC remote or would that even work. Thanks for anyone who responds. I appreciate your time.

I use smart remote, it has WAY more features than I even need (you can even create macro commands, chaining them together to one button push. No TV guide though. I looked and couldn't find HTC actual apk for their remote software. It might require root to install it even if you had it, but I don't think so.

I use Smart Remote as well. I do have TV Guide. Works Excellent.

There are several apps that have smart remote in the name, Which one are you using?
The 6.99 one has the best reviews.

I use anymote I think it is the best out there however it is quite pricey for the premium version but I definitely think it was worth it. The ability to customize your own remote to have the volume go up and down on your stereo system, channel buttons for your cable box, power for your TV, turn on your ac all on one easy to use remote is great.
PS don't work for the company I just hated watch on.

I also use seriesguide as my TV guide. It is more keeping track of the shows you want to watch over whatever is on TV.

FIre TV 2nd Gen and PS3 controller using Sixaxis not working...

Hello there and sorry if this has been asked before (tried a search, didn't find anything)
I just got my Fire TV 2nd Gen (4K) and tried connecting a PS3 controller using Sixaxis app. But it won't work! I have rooted the FIre TV 2nd Gen using the known method and granting access to sixaxis. But the Fire TV Remote is still working after enabling sixaxis server and no PS3 controller is connecting to the Bluetooth MAC displayed on the bottom.
Am I the only one with this problem? Anyone already figured out a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Same here...

Ditto
I was able to install Sixaxis Controller apk and hacked around to get settings menu for IME on AFTV2. I used Sixaxis Pair Tool to write local bluetooth MAC to controller. I am seeing the same thing... it wont pair. I tried it on my phone which is running 4.3 JB and everything worked great with the same tools. It's literally the last step that fails on AFTV2. I havent been able to see anything in the logs, either. :crying:
Anybody tried a WiiMote? I couldnt get that one working on my phone so I gave up even trying on the AFTV2.

I also have this problem...
I recently got a Fire TV 2 and I wanted to play with some emulators using my PS3 controllers.
I rooted my Fire TV 2, installed Sixaxis Controller APK, updated the master bluetooth address on the controller using the Sixaxis Pair Tool for Windows, but still no dice.
I also noticed that the Fire TV remote still works while the Sixaxis app is listening for controllers.
I will try messing around with the app some more. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on this problem.

Ive not tried myself but have you tried seeing if it works with the wire plugged straight into the usb? The sixaxis app dont work on here maybe you could email the developer? i use a wired xbox 360 controller & that works great with Mame, SNES 9x Ex +, & ePSXe for Android.
Check my compatible apps & accessories thread below for a work around device-

Sorry mate like I said before it's just not possible, there are a lot of compatible controllers (some cheap alternatives) that do work though, check out my thread In the post above yours.

I have a soution to this problem which I can confirm works. It involves installing sixaxis on your android phone along with droidmote client, and installing droidmote server on firetv... although you need to installing google olay services/account manager because droidmote server is a paid google play apk and needs these for license check. I followed these guides. (This is assuming you have droidmote bought on google play) here is video i watched to installing google play (for license verification)

Although this is not a fix more a workaround to use ps3 pad with firetv tv.

The first video contains & tells you to download a 3rd party Android market which can be used to download wares (android paid apps for free!) From a certain website, this type of thing Isn't allowed on xda & you will get you self into trouble posting It here. I think you should just wright the guide & make your own video If you want to keep it here or not Have your account banned @sconnyuk

Gave up on the PS3 controller for my 2nd gen Ftv and having a phone or tablet on to droidmote it all the time is a battery ball ache.
Grabbed this Giotech vx2 PS3 controller from Argos for £12.99 and works a treat!
Tesco have them as well if your in the UK

I had no idea of the links to warez, as i already bought these apps and use them on my phone. The video guides where how to setup the programs on firetv and android mobile device to get sixaxis workaround working. Will double check content of others videos etc before posting anything.

I thought they did, I just downloaded & checked & saw some emulators with the same icon as the pro version but with different authors, comments said contains mailware & fake app. I could be wrong? As long as your ok with it I'm happy with it. I won't be installing anything from there though

There isn't one for firetv... The ones from here will side load and work with mouse toggle or mouse. At the end of the threads there are ones that work. I have been using 5.1.5.014 with a mouse.

Oh wow, thanks. I really thought after googling the FireTV did already officially support it. It must have been talking about Fire Tablets instead, now that I look again.
I do already have that version side-loaded, but having to use the mouse is a deal breaker for me. I'll keep using the Roku until it comes officially I guess.
