Considering all the amazing developers out there, there has to be a way to do this? I don't care how complex, I just would really like to be able to record my devices screen at a decent FPS. Android Screencast is maybe 5fps, and just looks horrid. Even if it was something as simple as being able to remotely view my phone on my pc, then that would work (i have screen recording software).
I have thought about just using the emulator that comes with the sdk, but I would rather the videos be of my phone. Is this just a dream?
I've tryed apps like droid vnc but it looks bad/glitchy, i think something displaying the system on pc via usd would probably be fast and look good but haven't found anything that dose it. Kinda surprising all the development/custom apps and i cant find a something simple like video out via usb
well i installed windows 8 devloper preview and I must say that it sucks big time .
dont want to comment more as going to uninstall it ,for those who want to test it dont do it stay happy with windows 7
I disagree. Makes for a new look, boots faster, internet explorer 10 is great. Its brought a7 year old PC back to life even more so than windows 7. Just needs a little bit more work. By the time the release date rolls around it should be much
More polished
What's a signature?
I think it's rough around the edges, but that Metro is the future of computing interfaces . When you've used Metro on a touchscreen, there's *nothing* better
I disagree too.
On my W500, it flies compared to Win7. As a WP7 user, I am into the metro look and style, it works well on a tablet. I installed on a spare laptop and the experience is diminished purely by having to use that horrible horizontal scroll bar at the bottom...god I hope that is gone by beta.
I thought that pinning apps to the metro screen (do we call that the start screen now?) would be as simple as press-hold on a app/program in the apps list...but that doesnt bring up a 'pin it' pop-up. You have to navigate to the prog file in explorer...another thing that should be as intuitive as the phone but isn't.
As a replacement for the traditional desktop, metro takes some getting used to. No quick way to switch apps...you can swipe open apps in from the left, but you have to scroll through them all to get to the one you want. I would have expected a long press to bring you to a page of all open apps (same as back key on WP7?) but I can't find such a feature, yet.
And I still haven't figure out how to exit those open metro apps. Maybe I need to rely on Win8 app management, like WP7 to close when the mem gets full?
The W500 has a windows hard key on the front, and that does fast switching from metro to desktop...I think it must be more clunky if you don't have that available.
Also, when placing a cursor in a text field, I get a little graphic of a keyboard popping up, which I have to press to actually get the keyboard...I would have expected to get the keyboard straight away if I enter a text field.
And another thing on the keyboard, if I want to minimise it it, I have to go to the language button in the bottom right, where you can switch language and there is a small down arrow to click to minimise. Not exactly friendly when you want to minimise the keys to see more screen real estate.
Let us remember it is a developer preview, a shell to allow devs to see how their metro apps will work. This isn't a day-to-day OS yet, I am sure there is much more glittery goodness to follow.
But I like what I see so far.
Thumbs up
I have to agree. I love the new setup. I don't have a windows phone, but I have thought for a while that it was certainly the best layout option for smartphones.
Certainly, there are some bugs, and it's in desperate need of more apps, but that's the point. The iso wasn't really put up to be played with. It was put up so that we can make apps for it. Not to mention the thought of having a fully function (i.e. I can program on it) tablet is awesome. I'm not much for these consumption devices that are the current tablet offerings.
Especially for pre-beta software, I feel that this is a really strong showing. And I'm digging the updated VS 2011. Minor changes and all, but it's definitely a little speedier as well.
Windows 8
Performence of Winodws8 is awesome but the tablet layout on doesn't sound Good.Tablet is Tablet & PC is PC.There are alot of differences between them.You can't make tablet layout comfortable on PC that M$ shuld know.
Anyway i liked this Windows 8 Layout

if this is the developer preview I cannot wait till final seriously. its just that good ❤ ? and emotes works w00t
well my comment is on devloper preview not the final build as definately it will come up with lots of stuff and changes so i mean to wait for the final release .
to get a proper hand on it
I'm quite pleased with it overall..
I like the new start screen, the ribbon is useful in explorer, I like the new task manager.. and the performance is fantastic.
With some polish and the new features they showed us (that this build doesn't have) I think Windows 8 will be in very good shape for launch.
I actually prefer the metro IE 10 to the desktop version.. it makes for a much more pleasant reading experience for reading articles on the web, etc and it's really fast.
Can't really say it sucks cause it's only in dev preview. There are more things will be done.
Love the Metro UI, Ribbons, Charms and the cloud integration.
Not to forget the performance and features/tool available for developers.
I really wonder windows 8 will bi good or bad, win 7 was very good because of it is a fix version of vista, but win 8 will be very new and must have erros, important point is to make them fix fast

Will you still be using the chroot method, or some other way?
Waiting eagerly.:laugh:
Where to start...
Zac,
A wonderful thing to see this thread start so quickly. / I was the one who posted a few days ago about running Deb Wheezy based on your build guide. But I'd like to help push this effort in any way i can. (and I can always run 2 img files since I boot my image from term as opposed to the app...)
My goal reason for the purchase was to be able to bring up X, and launch VPN and RDP / With the build I hacked together I am able to do so with XFCE / VPNc and remmeia / and as far as browsers go, iceweasel was the only one that would semi work. (chrome seg faults / and web would seem to launch and then just disappear...)
When it comes to the webtop, I know there have been some posts about chaning the resolution down to 120 that seemingly puts JB into tablet mode, but I found that to be less than useful once i got into chroot. I've never been happy with the display fonts on the webtop. (once i had a config where the fonts were clear etc, but i did something and lost it... ) But the biggest hurtle there I think in part is that it seems to mirror the 960x540 res / and once you increase it you have to pan. / If you use fit to screen in the menu it will fit it to screen but then the mouse clicks don't pass through...
If you are looking for bugs - what image would be the most helpful / easiest for your to work on? (deb/ubuntu/etc) and full/small etc.
as i will load that to be more useful...
and does it matter what the base rom is. (currently I'm on epinter's CM10 rom updated yesterday) if keeping things more uniform would help I can pop something else on for the time being...
One of the main issues I was getting when running the images was the desktop being gray on the ubuntu 12.04 image like everyone else, but even after getting another desktop loaded on certain programs would not launch. When i would try to launch them from terminal I would get a seg fault. also when I tried to step through the commands in the ~/.vnc/xstartup I was getting a seg fault there as well. (So I am guessing that's why the gray screen when I VNCed. / So the second question is, when I do get a Seg Fault, is there anything additional I can provide that may aid in diagnosing the issue?
Thank you again!

The 'normal' method is to use chroot (after all it does work very well just needs refining), when it comes to the webtop not 100% yet

Hey James,
Really the biggest issue with know of right now is the grey screen, and with the large ubuntu image unity not rendering correctly. So this will be the image I will be working on first.
As far as base ROMs it really shouldnt matter to much (of cause you will need a stock based ROM for webtop) I will be sticking to a stock base for now so if you where testing from a CM ROM that would be very useful to cover both main bases.
Just pointing out the issues is a good start, on Monday I plan to get cracking with it (had to push it back after not finishing unpacking and sorting my office yet) and should start on the bug squishing, and webtop version will be once I get a lapdock which should be once the device fund has finished.
2x mouse pointer
hello
I have the Atrix with the HD Dock and bluethooth mouse and keyboard.
I'm running Nottachtrix ROM which has HDMI landscape mirroring, this means I can use linuxonandroid with a mouse and keyboard in the dock. The problem is it doesn't see the mouse as a true mouse. I get two pointers, one from the VNC and one which is the bluetooth mouse.
Is there away of using the mouse normally?
thanks for any help

Hitting the menu button or fn-f1 should bring up the vnc program options. One of the choices is "input method" there's a few choices and you may to see what works best for you. (The options are like touch,pan,zoom and various combos if those. I haven't found the perfect one but it would the there I expect.
I've got problems on epinter CM10.
1. I can run only Debian
2. can't get su in Debian
3. sometimes, VNC says "disconnected"

Ovitz - yes. This is in part why Zac has this thread too. It seems the tegra2 is a little finicky. I was only able to run Debian as well and only with xfce. I created my own image to do so. It seemed to me that the desktop manager would seg fault and then everything else was an issue. A good start may be to go in to the home did for your user and look in the .vnc hidden directory. There will be a file localhost:0.log (the number may change but should be 0 on the standard image. When you locate the file you can use "cat localhost:0.log" to view it or even better add "> filename.txt" to redirect it to a file. And then you can post it. My guess is you will see a segmentation fault in there.
*disclaimer - I'm just an excited user that has been hoping and waiting to get this worked out on the atrix and not a dev...

I tried all the input method options available on androidVNC none were that good.
I'm a bit ruined as I've just unlocked the bootloader and installed nottachtrix with faux1.3 kernal and webtop flys, no lag at all, it even runs bbc iplayer HD.
I was hoping to to find a webtop replacement, as I use it alot, so I can run ICS or Jellybean but the combination of the pointer and the complicated start up is making me hesitate. Great to have it working though big thanks to the devs.

This is a product of the client. My mouse arrow floats above the remote one but anytime I click it jumps to the location and clicks as well. / I am not sure if there are "seemless" 1 to 1 clients with regards to the mouse. But there certainly are a number of vnc clients out there beyond androidvnc. I am sure for each one someone could tell you why it is the best ever or sucks....

Hi,
did you notice (perhaps you know why) there is such a massive difference in video playback by those 2 apps.
I have downloaded k-lite codecs (dont know if this is a good choice for W8 but) and under WMP I got no issues, dvd rip, mkv (720p) runs smoothly - no problem (stream form NAS storage). Under Videos app in Modern UI dvd rip (same file, same NAS) was not watchable. I had sound but move turned into still, refreshed every 6-10 s.
Also, built in Mail app (even compared to old Outlook Express or Live Mail) is terrible.
General thoughts.
System is great, I like everything, even Modern UI makes sense, but (there always is a "but")
Microsoft should treat Modern UI as an optional thing. I mean for all devices with touch screen it does make sense. It completes the UI we can use desktop when we want to or have a keyboard attached but when not... Modern UI is great help
Again, for traditional laptops/desktop it makes no sense. I would make it optional to use with an option to switch it of completely.
When one is using mouse and keyboard so far I did not notice any gains from Modern UI.
I have a laptop, and I just treat the modern ui as a super functional start menu. It can do everything the old start menu can, and I use apps that can run in the background, like weather, news, messenger, and iHeartRadio/music. With a simple swipe to the right on my trackpad I can easily switch between them.
I know that the majority of apps for the modern ui are designed to be used as primary applications to get stuff done, but that doesn't work on a full computer. Instead I just ignore that and realize that tablets and pcs have the same app store.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
BTW: Is WMP working for you in the background when you move on to Modern UI/Start screen?
I have Win7 right now booted (and HDD with W8 is unplugged) but I think I have noticed something about it...
Same with streaming movie on web site... if you go to do something else I think it stops - got to check it again.

I understand what you say.. still on traditional desktop with mouse it seems to me that just having Desktop mode + traditional start would be more efficient.
I see the problem MS had... "If we leave Metro UI out of desktops and laptops (or leave it as an option) how do we make users buy Metro apps?". But I guess this is wrong way of thinking.
If you will own a touch screen device with W8 and you boy stuff it should appear on all your devices (right) [btw: will Metro apps show up on WP8 as well???] , so it would be on "Desktop device" redy to use if one will want to do so.
But if you mainly work in desktop mode on Desktop device why would you want/need to use any Metro app anyway/ in the first place/at all?
Even as it is ppl. will not use it in other way than start.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is another Rom or OS available for the Remix Ultratablet. I tried looking for one, but wasn't able to find one.
And if there isn't is there a possibillity to get Windows to this tablet, or some kind of Linux distro?
I'm just not a fan of Remix OS. It's filled with bugs and doesn't work properly. Something as simple as resetting the tablet doesn't even work great. The keyboard doesn't let me give accents to letters if I need to, which is very annoying when actually using the tablet for school/work.
I really hope there is someone can help me out.
I'm also wondering this. I like the idea of Remix OS but its execution leaves much to be desired. I wish there was a stock Android image, or CyanogenMod or something similar. I don't think this tablet can handle Windows 10, though.

Have you tried control key combinations? Used to have a table that ctrl + key would give accents, but maybe not applicable here.
are you all updated to version 2.0?
i was not impressed at first, until i updated the system software. the difference between 1.5 and 2.0 was for me like night and day. so much nicer, faster, smoother, better looking, more logical.
it took me a while to figure out i hadtrun software update twice -- once to the last version of 1. 5, and then again to get to 2.0.
if you haven't already, use system update before deciding you hate remix.

I'm on 2.0 and it's worse than 1.5. No option to let background services run, worse battery life, app UI's that are stuck in phone version instead of tablet, no 5 GHz connections, it's just a mess. The main UI may look prettier but none of us signed up for Remix to gawk at a pretty homescreen. We want stuff to work and work well and currently (and since the beginning) Jide has not delivered on that front, in fact relegating us original backers to the back of the line while the Mini and PC OS's get all the love. It's ridiculous. I almost feel like I was scammed.
did u put the apps in fullscreen mode? I'm getting 5ghz wifi. can access ur router settings? can it see the tablet?
that is why you shouldn't by a pc stuck at one OS. the same applies to chromebooks, microsoft surface RT and so on. you could simply buy a normal laptop and install remix os on it later if you wanted. Try to sell it or whatever. Remix os on PC is still non usable as well.

Sorry for the late reply, but yes to all three. A majority of the apps, at first glance, work relatively correct when set to fullscreen, but many also have one of two problems: one, they run in landscape/tablet mode but the UI is still like that of a phone (narrow, centered menus and either tiny or huge on-screen elements and such), or two, the app runs exclusively in portrait mode when fullscreen and cut off halfway when windowed. Even apps that run in tablet mode, when examined carefully, are really running in a stretched-out phone mode.
About 5 GHz WiFi, it worked perfectly for about 2-3 weeks then one day it just stopped working. It sees the network but has no "bars" and refuses to even acknowledge it when I tap it.

I need you to take photos/videos of the fullscreen issue and send it in thru the Jide support form. I'm having the same issue with 5ghz too but I think its the router cause we have two and it can see the 5ghz on the other one.. i'm doing some experiments this weekend.
Can you tell me what router you are using?
Your Jide Ambassador is here!!!
Try putting 5ghz on a different channel on ur router. Like channel 44 or something if u are in the USA.

Not really a "new" OS, but I've been fooling around with Linux on the Ultratablet. I have been using the Complete Linux Installer (from the Play store) and have been able to run Linux. Obviously it is not as fast as if it would be a native app, but it runs surprisingly well.
Wish there was a way to flash it like a new ROM or dual boot it like I do with Windows 10, but it's better than Remix.
Hey,
I'm also interested to install another rom in the ultratablet from jide.
I find remix os pretty limited and now it's pretty clear that the support team is not supporting at all the ultratablet, but much more their remis os software.
Also I think this is fairly stupid but they won't even let me install another type of launcher! I'd love to just use google launcher or anything else. Why can't I do that. I was very disapointed that the remis os team wouldn't let us do that or root their system to use the hardware with another rom.
very very very disapointed so if anyone can help me root and install another rom I would be VERY interested!
ps : Same thing here with the accents on letters, there'S simply no support for let's say "canadian french" keyboard unless I pay for a lame keyboard helper app on google play.

Maybe it would be possible to load Phoenix os on the ultratablet ???

Hey,
I'm also interested to install another rom in the ultratablet from jide.
I find remix os pretty limited and now it's pretty clear that the support team is not supporting at all the ultratablet, but much more their remis os software.

Rooting is VERY easy. Download SuperSU from the market and put it on your external SD card or the emulated SD card. Search through the forums for the Cyanogen recovery for the tablet and then install it via fastboot. Once installed boot into recovery and "Apply update" (SuperSU) and reboot. That's about it and you are rooted. IF someday Jide produces a patch, you can unroot via the SU app apply the patch and then root again. I would NOT hold my breath waiting for an update from Jide but if it ever happens you have the means to use it.
Phoenix OS does not support the Jide tablet and looks like they would have to rework their OS to support Jide.
Good luck.
Ok I'll try that and post details if this works, but do you have any idea how to fastboot on the ultratablet?? Usually it's a combination of power+vol up or down but never the same thing depending on the model and maker of the tablet/phone.

Easy way is to enter the command "adb reboot bootloader" then you can use fastboot to flash the recovery. Once you have that you can use "adb reboot recovery" to bring up the new recovery and install the SuperSU and then reboot.
