Hi guys,
I would like to know if it's possible to use the Vision keyboard and trackpad to control a PC with bluetooth or tcp/ip.
This is for a car PC project
Thanks

Try BlueputDroid. It's in beta and it's buggy but it has potential if the dev keeps up with it. It uses bluetooth to connect without a seperate server program like the other apps on the Market. It was originally written for PS3 but it works on pc. You need to be rooted as well.
What specifically is this car project?

Thanks for your suggestion! I will look into that!
Aahh! Can't post images or links but here is the main idea of my build.
My car is a Chevrelet Cobalt 2010 and I plan to remove the Head Unit (Stereo) and put a 7inch touchscreen at its place. I'll have a computer in trunk along with my new amp.
It's why I'll need a way to control the computer. I doesn't want to buy a 100$ bluetooth keyboard/trackpad kit.
Feel free to ask any question!
Ever tried 'team viewer'?
I know its a remote assistance software but it works flawlessly. Not sure if it will work over Bluetooth, but it definitely does over IP. So perhaps you could create an ad-hoc WiFi connection in your car....
I couldn't find it in the market, had to download of developers site, just Google 'teamviewer'
Hope this helps....

What kind of PC and OS are you planning on running? This sounds like a very interesting project.
Open terminal and SSH to your desktop computer. There, in control of desktop with phone.
Gmote is my app of choice and it works amazingly well.

He wants to connect directly to the pc. Afaik Gmote uses your network to connect. This is how most remote apps work.
Thanks for all the indications guys I will look in everything you proposed and see if it's what I need.
I still can't post link but here is my project :

As for the OS I don't know yet will see as which front-end I will use.

Hi,
I was thinking to buy a Logitech dinovo keyboard for my HTPC
http://ces.cnet.com/i/bto/20080104/lifestlyerichblog_540x360.JPG
... but then I wounderd if there is any application for WM6.5 that could use bluetuth to control a PC keybord.
I know i could use RDP client on my phone but then I get the screen on the phone as well..
I just want to use my TP2 as a keyboard remote to a Win7 PC with wifi or bluetouth..
Is this possible, does it exist a program for this?
Look for gremote .cab or also nueUSBKeyboard.
Both of these are located in this thread under Utilities. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I have tried the latter and it is what it is...just a keyboard through USB. Gremote I gave a shot...but was having trouble getting my Bluetooth to work on my PC...my issues not the program.
Touch Pro 2 as remote BT Keyboard
I saw an app (believe it or not) on the Windows Mobile Marketplace for $1.99
called MobileRemote that does exactly what you are looking for including mouse functions.
It uses BlueTooth to connect as an HID Keyboard.
It's from MobileSRC.
Cheers
You might look into GRemote, it does everything. However, just at tip, if you buy any keyboard software that uses Bluetooth, make sure you test the trial version first. I know quite a few of the mouse/keyboard programs don't work on the Rhodium because of the Widcomm Bluetooth stack used instead of the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
Wow, Thanks everybody!!
Now I have some things to tryout in the weekend..
Cheers!
Gremote works best over WiFi. I use it daily on my media center and love it. I'm planning on buying the paid version soon.
BRETT
I love GRemote, but it's sad that the computers that I'd use them on the most (work and school PCs) don't allow me to install the necessary software!
Wow Gremote was everything I wanted!
Works great with XMBC and Aeon skin
Thanks!
Ah man..u guys suck..now I gotta try wifi with gremote
gremote is working over wifi...however I cannot use any of the menus or settings on host PC. Is this a Trial limitation or something wrong with the install?
I can open settings program from taskbar...but nothing further.
wifi on my TP2 to a Win7 x64 works fantastic.... Playing around for some hour and now a get use to use it like a normal mouse.
one thing that is anoying is that gremote on the tp2 always turn on BT,, cant find any way to disable it
I am using it to type and tether. I can feel the waves killing my brain cells but, it feels good. lol I might have to fork up the 14 bucks to pay for the full service just to get the annoying demo message to go away. now if only I could get it to work on my Xbox 360. hmmmm jk
the app rocks!
oh... but i did find one problem. when typing using hardware keyboard; I can't seem to get the touchpad to work. or any of the control buttons. "DEL, TAB, CTRL, ALT" anyone know what is up with that?

[Q] keyboard and touchscreen as mouse for remote controlling pc? >not remote desktop<
Hello,
I'm a total noob regarding to software for WM6.5, but i wondered, is there some kind of program that allows me to use my phone's keyboard and touchscreen as keyboard / mouse for my desktop? Would be nice for my plasma tv with desktop connected to it..
Thanks in advance.

I use this
I use GRemote. It's a client-server program. One part runs on your PC, the other on your WM or Android phone. I think there's a free and a Pro version, not sure, might just be the paid version (which I have) and it's *AWESOME*, I use it just like you'd mentioned - I have my PC hooked up to my HDTV as a HTPC/media center, and I can use my phone as a trackpad, air/gyro mouse, hardware keyboard, media remote, generic remote, and gyro joystick/racing wheel/etc for gaming. It can connect over WiFi or BT. I don't want to sound like I'm going to marry it or anything but it is a pretty awesome program. The media remote functions work with Winamp, WMP, XBMC, VLC, others.
EDIT: Sorry, got so hot and bothered talking about the program, forgot to mention the website. It's at gbmsoftware dot com.

Thanks for you reply Looks great! Going to try the demo right now, when i like it as good as you do ill purchase it(only 10$)
Greatz
hmmzz can't get the damn bluetooth to work... I have 2 dongles and my laptop but it won't work yet... Did you have any problems getting it to work?
Yeah got it to work new rom did the job, latest energyrom running my tp2.
Really great program, just the features i was looking for a long time.. Tough the connection is a bit laggy, or is this because it's just the demo version?
Yep! pretty nice.
Works great now! And true man, really awesome program, good features
Thanks!!
I use adhoc network it's faster
Sent from a parallel universe using my RHOD210 and xD a app
I am looking for an app that will allow me to use my N1 as a basic touchpad for my PC running VNC. I hap an app for my iPad that did just this, but I had to sell my iPad. It worked flawlessly, had multitouch gestures for scrolling, forward/back, etc. The app for my iPad was free, and I'm hoping to find one that is free for Android as well. I've done a lot of searching, and all I can find are apps that $3+ or ones that require some other server side software and don't work with VNC. I was recently fired from my job of ten years and my right hand is broken(I'm right handed BTW) so free is preferable, I'd be willing to pay $1.00 even. I don't need keyboard support, just mouse with buttons, drag/drop, multitouch would be nice too. My phone is rooted and running CM7, if that helps any.
Not sure about compatability with VNC, but Gmote works pretty nicely though you do have to install SW. I have a HTPC in my bedroom and sometimes it is just easier to control using my phone when lying down.
Saw that, it doesn't use VNC. Whatever I'm looking for needs to be using VNC.
gmote 2.0 works pretty well, you just have to install a server on your computer which is pretty easy. in-app instructions are given after you dl it from the market.

As I stated in the OP and my last reply, I don't want to install another piece of software. I want to use VNC. If it was done on iOS device for free, then it's bound to exist for Android as well for free or cheap.
have you tried gmote? it works really well

lllullzz i just asked him about the exact same thing two posts above haha
Have you tried Gmote? (sorry, couldn't resist. It is really good though)
I haven't really found anything that doesn't require additional software on top of your VNC software. The closest thing I can think of would be another VNC program. I personally use android-vnc-viewer which works great, but again it's just a straight VNC program.
why would you want to do it via vnc that transmits video when you can use gmote and send the mouse co-ordinated via touchpad directly to the server running on the computer, seems like ur buy the tea factory just for 1 cuppa

I don't want full video of my desktop, this is the app I had on my iPad that did just what I'm asking for here. I thought it was free, but I guess I had forgoten that it wasn't. In any case, it made my iPad into a grey surface that I could use with my PC like a touchpad, but it worked via VNC.
Hey, have you tried Gmote? I use it as home and it works pretty well.

So I broke down and tried gmote, it sucks, lags badly, no multitouch. I saw other apps that have multitouch, but I'm still back to the fact that I don't need some other piece of crap running in the background just for this when I know it can be done with VNC. If it can be done on iOS, I know it can be done on Android, just wish I were a programer so I could do it myself.

Please read the previous posts, gmote has been mentioned many times already.
Unified Remote
You could try the 'Unified Remote' app for Android (but it requires a server-side application to run on the PC).
The touchpad part works awesomely, and Unified Remote will work via Bluetooth or Wifi/3G.
There are also 'plugin' remotes that work for other situations, like Youtube remote, Windows Media Player remote, keyboard, VLC remote, etc...
I can't remember where I heard it from but I heard gmote works good.
Is iDisplay workin' on stock OS 1.1? and the iDisplay server is installed on Win7 64bit system. Reply with results.
"Sidd
[REQ] App-Dev.
My PC's display isnt workin' properly I'l have to replace my PC's display till then I was hopin to get iDisplay work so that I'l be able to view my screen on NC but unfortunately it isnt workin'.
Secondly I've tried remote desktops including Teamviewer, PhoneMyPC etc.
The trouble with Teamviewer is tht I'm not able to view the WHOLE screen at a time. Rest the UI of Teamviewer is great.
And if i talk of PhoneMyPC it is workin' fine too but the problem is that I'm not able to view my mouse pointer so it is little inconvenient.
If anyone is looking into app development it is a good idea to look into these things
More-over it'd be much helpful if the app uses Local Network rather than lookin' for internet access i.e. the client should connect the server with WiFi or USB will be a good idea?
And lastly yes anyone will point out at VNC then I'm having some issues with connecting to VNC as I'm using a router and a DSL modem in series so VNC server isnt setting up correctly.
Lastly Hit thanks if anyone thinks this kind of app will be really helpful
you might want to check out wyse pocket cloud there are two versions and the free on works great the paid adds support for sound and some other options both are great and setup is super easy install the server program on the pc then it will link with your gmail and auto discover on the android device .

Hello
I am trying to find a way to run some software I have for the pc on an android divice.
I would like to get some car diagnostic software to run which has to be connected to the car through usb to ODB2 port on the car.
Is there and emulator or some such software I can install on the android pad to get this running?
This would be so cool if I can get this running.
I found a stereo with an android 2.1 tab attached which is the screen for the stereo.
Anyway if anyone has any ideas then please let me know.
Thanks
Alex
Short answer: No.
Long answer: If it's DOS application, maybe. But I doubt it'll be able to access any of the device ports. If it's a Windows application, forget it.
Your best bet is to look for similar apps on Android. They DO exist... The market has several apps that read car diagnostics over bluetooth, some might also work over USB. There are bluetooth adaptors available for your ODB2 port.

Citrix? You're kidding, right? Do you even know how Citrix works? It's essentially a kind of remote desktop. The applications don't run on your machine, they run on a server. A server which you have to pay up mucho cashola for and configure correctly.

And even if he had access to Citrix XenDesktop virtualized Windows I don't know if it would allow him to use car service software by connecting OBD2 interface to the tablet. Even if the port I/O could be forwareded to remote machine as a virtualized USB port the latency would make the OBD software very ustable.
Can't tell you about connecting it to the ODB2 port but as for x86 emulation on a arm device:

I mentioned it before, but didn't bother to post any links, not that the OP has bothered to reply, but anyway..
THIS is what he's looking for, with no silly emulation bullpoop.

That took all of 2 seconds to search for...
BTW it is NOT ODB2. It is OBD2 as in On-Board Diagnostics level 2 .
Bleh. The search still worked!
Torque works really well I use it to get codes and you can monitor real time info from all of the sensors attached to your ecu. You can also do data logging. If your trying to run tuning software( like hp tuner or ROMraider) you are prolly out of luck.
Whenever I need to use a windows app, I just use TeamViewer and remote into my PC. I can run any windows app I want to and see it on my display. If I'm not in a Wifi area, I tether from my 4G phone.

Did you actually read the op? Teamviewer is totally useless for this, as is ANY form of remote running application.
