Hi,
I was wondering, if there's any way to control my Android Tablet device, with my MM2 trought WiFi.. I search for apps, but all I could find was for PC<>Android, but nothing Android <> Android.
Hope somebody can help me! I'm kind of desperate here :/
Thanks!
Yes look in the android market the app DroidMote
There is many videos in youtube
mymobiler is the best out there, however it requires root assess

Having a rooted Nook (CM7), I'm looking to stream video to it via DLNA. On my PC, I have the application "PS3MediaServer".
My Thunderbolt has the "Connect Media" application, I was curious if there is an app/method of doing the same on the Nook (or really any other non-sense Android device)?
Any suggestions?

I've done alot of research on the subject and I would always end up getting discouraged because idiots write these crazy bad reviews on much of the software available that's perfectly capable. Finally I settled on TVersity and it works great. I can access all my media from any one of my devices but most importantly my Nook with CM7.
There may be better options. I wouldn't know. I didn't need to check into it any further.

But, what Android app would you use...? If you are looking for a DLNA provider application that serves on your PC, I would check out "PS3MediaServer". Awesome application and works on anything that accepts DLNA.
I'm just looking for an app that plays DLNA, not the server app.
I'm sorry. I was just trying to provide a solution that worked for me and solved my issue which was similar to yours. I used to have the PS3media server but I stopped using it because of TVersity. I had no idea it could stream to android as well. I'd like to try it again. Anything I should know in regards to setting it up. I'd appreciate it.
So are you just looking for a player? Have you tried MoBo Player? I use it for everything now?
Or I'm thinking now your looking for an app to navigate your media so you can select to stream. I would have thought you would use your browser for that. Sorry. Search the market for an app called Skifta. I just downloaded it and gave it a run. Much more elegant compared to my browser method and finds all my media servers. I'm happy to say it works great with PS3Media server so far.
I have aVia on my Thunderbolt, and it's pretty slick. I am running eyeballer's CM9 nightlies on the Nook, and haven't been able to get anything to see the DLNA server there. The server itself is an older Gentoo box with minidlna running. Runs solid to the Logitech Revue, too.
So after some extensive searching and not really finding a solid reference, I wanted to ask you guys some things. First off, I have been using Android for a couple years now, with my first phone being a Hero (which I absolutely hated) and my latest phone being an Evo 4G. Well, I just sold my iPad for the Xformer and I don't regret it in the slightest, only problem now is I feel like I'm not getting the full potential of what this device is capable of handling. That's where I wanted to come here. Can anyone recommend some sort of Beginners guide to Must-Have apps, widgets, and other things for honeycomb? I'm just looking to get the most out of this. Also, I'm not opposed to paid apps or widgets.
Second, does anyone know of a simple, easy way of sharing files or pushing things between two android devices? With having an android phone and tablet, there are things I'll find on my tablet, for instance the apk for the new market, that I wish I could just easily push the link similar to chrome to android? Also file sharing. I find Bluetooth works simply but what about over wifi? Any ways to do this. I normally just email myself files and open them on the other device, but i feel theres gotta be a better solution.
I appreciate any and all help and if I missed something already posted, I apologize but please do share ANY advice. Thank you.

Have you tried DropBox?
You can share between Android devices, and any other device...
First question : depends on what kind of apps and widget you want.
Second question : you can install an ftp server/client on your devices. For exemple file expert can access files via network, be it smb or ftp. Just do a search on the market for these apps.
Hope that helps.
I use WIFI File Explorer to transfer files to and from my TF via the laptop...I'm sure that it would work the same between two android devices.
I use DropBox (from the app store) on three computers, an Android phone, and my Transformer. My son has it on his iPad, his computer, and his Android phone and I keep one folder in my DropBox that I share with him. I also use the free Asus webstorage on my main computer, Transformer, and phone (it's in the app store). Both of them work really well for me. - sheureka
I would certainly recommend looking at the initial post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068593. I found the Tips and tricks link in that post particularly helpful when I was starting out.
Is there a solution to this? Maybe remapping a button on the controller? I know there is a pretty simple way to do this in Kodi, but I need to make this work in other apps, such as emulators. How will I be able to manage settings and options without it?
This has been discussed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/3-dots-menu-t3067105. If you're running Android 5.1 or higher, most sideloaded apps won't have accessible menus. You'll need to email the developers of the apps you use to request that they restore menus for their apps on Android TV devices running Android 5.1 or higher. Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) won't restore the missing menus so the only other possibility is that an Xposed module such as the one at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-force-3-dots-menu-t3181622 may serve that purpose in the future.
Thanks for clarifying. Why did they remove it? So dumb...
I don't know why they made that change (and I agree that it's a lame decision) but it seems that Google started enforcing stricter material design requirements on apps as of Android 5.1 and higher on Android TV. That's why I suggest emailing the developers of the apps you use to see if they can update their apps to properly support Android TV. As I discovered with DroidMote Server months ago, this problem can be worked around with app updates. It's not a sure thing that developers will agree to do so for the Android TV platform that they may not officially support but it's worth a try. Which emulators are you planning to use? I don't think that Robert Broglia's excellent .emu apps are affected by this problem.
I have used yongzh's emus until now. But I found replacements so I'm fine for the moment.
Is this possible ? heard people have the touchpad on the controller to work on tablet and portable but not on det Shield TV.
I would LOVE to have this fixed when a whole lot of my sideloaded apps need it for touchinteractions.
Can't root the device since one of the main apps im running and want to keep running is Get TV (Norwegian TV Provider) and once rooted the app will not work, rootcloack ect can't hide it from the app, feel like i've tried everything.
Heard some had it working before the 1.1 update ? why did the support fall out after this and why wasn't it fixed ?

Sorry nvidia has said that it is not a supported function of android tv so it was removed in updates after 1.1 . Does not seem like they have any plans to add it back either. i installed the full android rom from zulu99 and use my jxd7800 as a controller and the touch screen as a mouse with droidmote.

Darn, was really hoping it would come back. But with full android, is it possible there to use the right stick as a "mouse" ?
Haven't tried unrooting a pre-rooted rom before but that might be a solution to my problem in that case, but will i then be able to nativly play games from the NvidiaHub/NvidiaGames + stream from my Gaming PC with a unrooted rom ?
Thanks for the reply ! Will keep on trying to find some good way to go about this, perhaps finding a bluetooth TV remote with mousefunctionality might work ?
I have set Logitech K400 (with unified receiver on a USB Hub) and with the app Logitech Keyboard Plus You can set whatever language You prefer in Android settings as the app adds an entry for the K400. You have to discard the Bluetooth request at the beginning.

Hi you all,
this is probably not the right forum for this request (I don't have a Shield TV, but a Sony 4K TV with built in Android TV).
But I didn't find a better suitable Forum than this one.
I'm new here and generally relatively new with Android. I only got two Android devices at home:
- an Amazon Fire TV in my office and
- a Sony KD 55x8505c 4K Android TV in the living room.
My Smartphones and Tablets all run on iOS - but I realize more and more that it might be helpful to get a small Android Tablet in the near future to benefit from all possibilities Android offers.
Now to my problem:
I wanna use the German Sky Go App on my Android TV. The current version 1.4.3 is installed an it works. However, it's far from perfect because the menus are out of alignments, you can't see episode numbers and if you click anywhere else than the PLAY button, the app crashes.
I had exactly the same issue on the Amazon Fire TV - but there I found a solution. You simply needed to change the display density by typing "am display-density 280" before starting the app and it works perfect. You can automate that by using the app Tasker. So on Fire TV in the office - everything's perfect.
Now I wanted to achieve the same on my Android TV - and therefore I need your help. The command "am display-density 280" doesn't work an the Android TV. I tried entering it directly through a Shell / Terminal. When I started the Tasker App I couldn't get past the Disclaimer. There was no Accept button to be found. In a different forum I found a possible way for tasker by extracting an already activated tasker version from a different Android Device and installing this version on the Android TV. However, I only got the Fire TV as a different device and I have no idea how to extract the app from the Fire TV including the necessary data. But without knowing the right command to actually change the display-density, Tasker wouldn't help me anyway.
So the most important thing is to find a way to change the display-density to 280 first. Afterwards I need to find a way to automate that when the App is launched. Can you please help me?

Hi,
I'm trying to do the same as you. I also read the Fire TV thread and tried Tasker on my Shield TV, which didn't work.
So i guess i'll set up tasker on my phone to change density to 280 when starting SkyGo and back to standard when leaving the app.
Then i have to backup the app+data - either with Helium (no root) or if that fails (which is likely) with Titanium (root, my Shield TV isn't rooted... yet ).
If i succeed, i could share the Tasker backup with you, if you're interested. I'm busy this week, but i might give it a try next week / weekend.
so here´s what i did:
i changed the display density with the adb command "adb shell wm density 280 %% adb reboot"
i could watch a trailer in sky go, but no luck with live streams or movies. so for now no solution from my side
Thank you!
I finally did it!
I installed Android Studio on my Mac including all SDKs. Then I turned Developer Mode on on my Android TV and connected through adb. With your command I was able to switch the display density to 280 and now finally Sky Go looks and works as it should.
However - now the whole Android TV OS is in density 280. I already noticed that the screen keyboard looks a bit odd.
Now the only thing I miss is the possibility to switch the density only for the Sky Go App. On Fire TV I can do that with Tasker, but on Android TV Tasked doesn't work. If anybody could help me with that...?
Thanks again and
Greets
