Recently I see Asus is producing UX580 which has a touch screen as mouse pad. This is exactly what I want my android phone to do, but don't know how.
As I have used miracast a lot between my PCs, I know for sure this is already technically possible. It should be like this: use Android phone as miracast receiver, pc connects to the phone to use it as an extra screen, pc receives the touch moves as operating commands.
All we need is just a software to activate the phone as a miracast receiver if I am not wrong?

I have a Super Dual Box Pro for connecting a PS2 controller to a computer via USB. I would like to use it with my Xoom, but I can't figure out how. I connect it and go into any of the -oid series emulators (the ones that recently got yanked) and setup the mappings. Every time I press a button on the controller, it shows up "unknown". The controller seems to work at the ROM selection screen, but it doesn't work in-game in any way, shape, or form.
Is there anything I can do to make it work? If not, what can I use as an alternative (I want something that doesn't require additional batteries and is pretty cheap)?
Thanks!
I used to be able to view and control some of my older phones on my PC through the USB connection, but I haven't been able to find out if this is possible yet with android phones, specifically my new GN2. I know I can get the dock and hook up one of my PC monitors to a switch, and I also know there is a way to connect a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, and then use a HLA adapter to run a monitor. I have also looked at a couple programs that use VPN connections to "host" android devices on websites that you can access with your PC via web browser, but as far as I can tell you are limited to what you can do (web browser, messaging, email).
I'm really looking for a stand alone program that I can open on my PC that, when connected to my GN2 via USB, will duplicate the devices display in a window and allow control of the device with the PCs keyboard and mouse. Does such a program exist? Thanks all.
i have never seen anything like this. What would be the purpose of this?
To control my phone with my workstation peripherals while at work if I want to view a website that is blocked by my works firewall, or simply to respond to a text message without having to turn on my phones screen
I am hoping someone can answer this for me. Will the recently released root capabilities allow me to connect a Bluetooth keyboards that requires a password? This is something that the Fire TV couldn't do previously.
looks like you posted on reddit as well,

I wonder if I could get my Vizio Costar remote to work?....

I did. I wasn't sure where I'd get the faster response.

Bluetooth Keyboard with built in touchpad
I am also very interested in this....
Is it possible to get the bluetooth settings to work with my motorolla keyboard and touchpad combo (Motorolla KZ500)? I get it to pull up the settings to see the keyboard and prompt to type in numbers but it doesnt receive anything I input at this step.
I will keep trying and let OP know if I find anything, but I am not a real android dev by any stretch.
I got my Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro to link with a generic usb dongle. It is great because it has a mouse pad built in
Got it to Connect - But not functional
I succeeded at getting the Motorolla KZ500 keyboard & touchpad combo to connect to the Fire TV through the use of the android settings.apk and typing in the numerical prompt. - I am on the latest firmware and am rooted now, if that matters.
However, despite showing up as an input device, no keypresses or mousepad movements are registering with the device. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
When I use a USB keyboard and mouse, it has no problem registering all of that.
I've been around Linux for a few years now, and have had my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 for about a year. I've run into a bit of a problem that maybe someone knows how to get around. I have some knowledge of android because of the relationship to Linux... but still rather a newbie.
I'm trying to get my Tab 3 to communicate with a Bolutek BLK-MD-BC04-B serial to bluetooth adapter. I have no problems pairing it with my tablet, but once paired only certain software packages will connect with it... and I have no use for a bluetooth communications terminal (the usual software). I can get everything to work on my main computer (running Ubuntu 12.04LTS) the way I want, but I can't find /dev/rfcomm0 on my tablet. I've tried several software packages from the Google store, but to no avail (so far).
What I'm trying to accomplish overall is getting a piece of equipment I have to work with an android tablet, that at present only works with Windows software. I've got W95 working on a virtual machine in my tablet (a tiny tad slow, but it works well enough) using the no-longer-maintained program "Limbo" and the only thing stopping me now is getting the signal from the serial port (on the equipment) to the virtual machine in my tablet. The adapter works as it should, the only problem is the android bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to get the tablet to connect to the Bluetooth adapter (it's already paired), and then assign the communications to rfcomm0 (or maybe put a virtual link to ttyS0/ttyS1)?
Better yet, is there also anyone with experience working with this Limbo software who could give suggestions how to get a serial port working in it? (It should be easy to do once I figure it out - I've got the whole thing working fine on my main system using Virtualbox, and it was easy.)
I'm on an extremely tight budget (dirt poor actually - typical graduate student) and need to work with what I have, so please no suggestions of buying a new tablet or anything like that.
Thanks!
Is it possible to use the SmartWatch2 as a touchpad so to remotelly control the phone when connected to TV via MHL instead of having to buy an additional bluetooth device like mouse, touchpad, etc?

I know this is an old post, but I am interested now. Found my aging Xperia Z and Smartwatch 2 inside the cabinet gathering dust. Might as well use them both for something else. Anybody knows if it is possible? Is there such an app? I googled around and found only this post.
