Toggle TV Out

Here is a quick easy way to get to the TV Out toggle settings page.
I'm using LauncherPro to do this, but AnyCut or any programs like that should work too...
Long press on homescreen
Select Sortcuts
Select Activities
Expand Settings
Select TV out settings
Now you have a shortcut on your homescreen that takes you directly to the TV out settings page.
Obviously I would prefer a widget or something to accomplish this, but you have to work with what you got...

Nice one, props to you

Ive been using this exact same solution since I got the phone.
I agree it would be nice to have a toggle widget, but this really is the next best thing.

Awesome trick... thanks!

Doing the same with ADW

Is using tv out better than using allshare? quality wise i mean. I know there's an option to enable 5.1 but i wonder if it gets enabled when using allshare or not. haven't tried it yet though. any one know?

what are you guys "tv-out"ing with? what kind of wire? and what is the resolution that you get?

Cable only $3.50 and that includes shipping...

I don't know what the output resolution is.
As it's composite out, I assume the vertical resolution is limited to 525i(NTSC) or 576i(PAL).
When the phone orientation is landscape, the phone only really supports 480i as the screen resolution is only 800x480.

You can use TV out with allshare...
Basically stream your videos over the air, and play them on your TV.
Just what the doctor ordered

control iconia from another android device?

archos has a remote app that lets you use your phone as a remote for the archos gen 8 series.
anything like it for the iconia? much easier to pause from the couch then getting up and going to the tablet

+1 This would be very useful, mainly for when connected via HDMI to a TV or playing music in a different room, then just use phone as a remote.
Point of interest, the game Crazy Snowboard from the market has an option where you can play on your tablet while controlling your snowboarder from an Android phone via wifi. Figured I'd mention it since this is along the same line as what we're looking for.

No way to control Iconia from an Android device ???

Digging up an old thread here. I use TeamViewer to access my other PC's from Android devices, but am looking for something where I could access the tablet from my PC. Is anyone aware of an app to remote access the Androids?

B to the izzump!

Havent tried it but this: market.android.com/details?id=com.iandrobot.andromouse.lite
or this: market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid
would probally work. Basically they just turn your phone into a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Theres many other apps like this, those are just two that i picked.

Im sure there are vnc servers apps out there for android. you could install a vnc client on your phone then remote in to the tablet with the vnc server running. That would be one way of doing it. That's not very elegant but would work.

Not likely what I'm looking for as I would not be near the tablet, and even if I were, it's not likely I would use this rather than just picking up the tablet.

I thought of this, and would work maybe 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time is if my tablet happens to be somewhere other than my house as it would then be on a different network and the client would not have a way to get to it, unless there are VNC servers that have a web service that broadcasts the tablets current location, similar to dyn-dns.

I was replying to a different post not yours, hence the quote i inserted before my reply

Hi,
I've found an app to control an android device from another android device. You have to install the app "DroidMote Client" on the device from which you want to control and install "DroidMote Server" on the device which you want to control. I'm using this on my HTC Desire to control my Transformer while it is connected to my TV. It works really good with this devices
Look at YouTube

Bluepurdroid is free on the market and works over bluetooth. You can choose to use a mousepointer to navigate your iconia, keyboard also works. You can also use a sixaxis controller. Haven't tried this on my A500 but works great on my ps3. The mouse and keyboard works just fine, like using a bluetoothkeyboard.
Great app for controlling the a500 while using it with a HDTV.

Something like teamviewer or vpn server?

hm while using team viewer to connect to pc in the popup window on pc there is a no. which is used to cennect to the device. Did someone tried to use this no. to connect back to the team viewer on the tablet?

i've been using DroidMote between my Iconia and my Fascinate for months running netflix and google music on my tv. definitely don't regret not getting a google tv device! ha. it runs great and yes you can use a wireless (usb) keyboard and mouse but most of us also own an android phone and they're much more convenient and one handed. just thought i'd put my two cents out there for anyone stumbling across this thread. totally worth the money, replaced my wii for HD netflix streaming!

can i use a controller in 9mm

i just bought it can i use a wired or a wireless controller
wired 360
wireless ps3
i got both

Try .45 or maybe 40s&w =p
Seriously though,I don't quite understand the question... Is 9mm a game and are you asking if you can use a controller as an input device?

i mean i can use my xbox controller on Shadowgun and GTA3 also riptide so im asking if anyone found a way i can play it on 9MM

The game engine must support gamepad input, so no.

K900 if correct, each individual game will need to support the game pad device as an input. Let us know how it works out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

If your device is rooted you can use the sixaxis app with your ps3 controller and set up a touch profile to work with 9mm or any other game with on screen controls.

How did you set up gta3 with sixaxis? I bought it, and can't get it to work.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

In sixaxis, hit the menu button > preferences > Edit Touch Profile > set up the buttons to match the on screen controls. To make button placement easier, take a screenshot of gta with the on screen controls up and then click change background from within the sixaxis edit touch profiles area. It's good to get a screenshot both in and out of a car so you can see what the controls are for both. Hope that helps.

i configed the touch in SixAxis and i cant get it to work right.

What doesn't work right? Are you rooted?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

FOR GTA3: To use your dualshock3 controller, simply connect the controller via usb, press the PLAYSTATION button to pair and start playing (no need to open sixaxis). Another alternative would be using the touch profile in sixaxis, touch profiles also allow you to customize your keys.
I'm trying to create a sixaxis touch profile for 9mm, but I cannot take in-game screenshots of the on-screen control buttons. I'm using "screenshot it" and everytime i take a screenshot, the game automatically reload itself. I've also tried "screenshot" and that app doesnt even work. If anyone can take pictures of all the onscreen buttons in 1280x800 resolution, please share it so I can create a touch profile for it and of course i'll share it.
I was able to create touch profiles for the following games: gta3, backstab, and nova 2. I was able to configure it to work like in the console. If anyone want I can share touch profiles.

Have you tried using the built in Honeycomb screenshot tool? Settings > Screen > Put a check next to Screenshot. Then you just have to hold down the multitasking button to take a screenshot.

Would you mind posting them? There's already a thread Here.
And Here is the screenshot you wanted

Did you download 9mm from the Android Market? The only gameloft game that shows up on my tf is uno. I just bought MC3 for 99 cents on my gs2 and thought it would be awesome to play on the tab, but none of them show up... I just assumed incompatible. Do any other of their games show up for you?

I will start on 9mm when I have time. and regarding the 9mm screenshot that you've shared, is that all the buttons? it seems very little...

9mm Sixaxis Profile (Working)
Hi Everyone,
It seemed some people were saying 9mm would not work with the sixaxis controller, but I did get it working with my Acer Iconia A500. Attached is the screen shot which AyDee posted a link to in post #16. Works perfectly with the game.
Cheers

[Q] Hover on Flash?

Is there a way to do real-time hover for Adobe Flash? I play online/offline games that use mouse hover, but haven't found a way to do that on my A500. Is ther an app, or some way for an actual mouse to be able to? I can use a mouse just great on my tablet, but it doesn't do hover either.
Thanks,

No. This is a usability issue for those who develop flash for touchscreen devices. Since there is no 'hover' capabilities for touchscreens, only 'on press'.

NSTV Remote Control is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Use AFTV remote instead?

The Nvidia Shield TV remote is a huge disappointment! It doesn't have a MENU button. The main reason why I wanted a remote was to use it with Kodi. Has anyone tried pairing an Amazon Fire TV remote to their Nvidia Shield TV? Have you tried it using it with Kodi?

Thank you for the detailed write up!
That's weird that the 1st gen AFTV bluetooth remote doesn't work? Which gen Fire Stick remote did you use?

ive got a fire tv 4k remote which works fine...
so what are e the button options on the nvidia remote?

Are you telling me the buttons that look like Back and Home above the microphone button don't actually function as Back and Home?

Nstv remote is awesome, that's my opinion. Home and back button work without issues. Holding round middle button on kodi 16 (kodi 16 only) appears menu option (on file movie, picture audio, addon etc pressing and bit holding appears options/menu . Nstv remote is minimalist comparing with other remotes out there and major factors works flawlessly on kodi 16 (v16 < only)

NSTV Remote microphone input
I actually love the NSTV remote, i think it has everything it needs.
Android as a platform has moved away from hardware menu buttons already anyway so I don't see why this should be an exception.
Is anyone here trying to use it with full android rather than the stock firmware though?
I am, and everything works (even volume control and headphone audio output!) except the microphone.
If anyone has any suggestions for how I could go about debugging the microphone input, I would very much appreciate it as it's the last thing preventing my setup from being perfect.
The message I see when I press the voice input button on the remote is "Can't open microphone" (screenshot at end of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64552147&postcount=14 )
Android is clearly just not recognising it as an audio input device, but I'm not sure why.

has anyone tried the new apple remote? does that work

If you want extra control with the NSTV remote I suggest you install Xposed and the module Xposed Additions. I have set up to have the enter button long press to have pause\play, long press back for menu, long press home for power menu. You can also set up double and triple click. I love this remote now, more than my FireTV remote

Which version of the firmware are you using on the Shield TV? 3.0 or a previous version? Stock, StockRestyle or Full Android?
How did you pair it? Using the standard procedure, or do you need a specific app for Wifi-direct?
Thanks

I just saw that trick on another thread, got the game controller to work but not the Fire TV 4K remote.
EDIT: now it's working with my second Fire TV 4K remote. So I suppose there is a problem with the first one I tried.
Thanks.

Did anyone try it on full Android Marshmallow?
If that would be working, including the voice search function, that would be great because shield game controllers aren't working wireless on full Android.
