While I found several apps that "extend" the desktop of the PC to our device enlarging the global viewport, I would be interested in an app that use the tablet as the main and only screen (so without any other monitor connected). Possibly via USB (Via wireless Splashtop would be enough but I would need a gateway to connect both).
I'd like to use it with my mITX PC instead of having to use my external 24" if I decide to move my PC
Are there any projects or app being developed/released?
Thanks

Not that I know of through USB, as there would have to be a display in being supported. To the best of my knowledge there is barely even a display out. Wireless may be a solution, but you would have to start the PC running on the 24", set it up then it should be able to run all the time without the monitor. However, it will likely be quite slow.
I used iDisplay from the play store,
You install it on your pc and on your tablet and you can plug via usb.
I used it since the screen of my laptop is dead.

Very nice I have to test it because the notebook have different behaviors compared to desktop (mainly because if I remember well the video signal is sent through the PCIe bus on the internal screen). However if it's possible to use as a "single" screen, i'm done
Thanks!
Does it lag?
I remember trying to use iTeleport with my old iPod Touch 4 and the experience was less than tolerable - the device couldn't handle this kind of operation

Coming from Nokia N97 to the Nexus my first Android let me see if I got this right, on my Nokia I just install Nokia PC Suite and I can surf with my laptop using the N97, in order to do this with the Nexus One I have to root it ? there is no app yet like PC suite ? just checking and if that's the case then I guess rooting it is.
Thanks

Excellent, thank you
just an FYI that us Linux users need to use CyangenMOD as all the other apps are win/mac exclusives as far as i could tell.
Another bonus to CM (Cyanogen Mod) is that you get to use all of your phones RAM, you get a slightly Undervolted Kernel = More battery life (this is undervolting from Qualcom), you get openVPN, you 360 degree rotation, your trackball will flash different colors instead of just white, (like it was supposed to out of the box), you have a media player that shows artwork on the widget, I mean the list goes on and on and on.............

Hello,
it works out of the box.
No need to do anything.
Plug your usb cable and use your pc internet connection...
Works for me fine
I upgraded to ICS tonight and one of the best new features for me is the ability to now connect a USB MIDI controller via USB OTG.
This is awesome for me, and one of the areas that iOS absolutely kills Android.
Android still has a long way to go before it can offer anything like iOS for music creation, but this is a big step in the right direction.
I made a quick and rough video to show it working.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GygpDwYMVk
If you have a USB controller that is bus powered, then you can play your keyboard anywhere!
We just need more apps that support this feature now. I only know of one (the Grand Piano app I use in the video).
If anyone knows of any others, please let me know.
Cheers,
Rich
PS - I wasn't sure if this belongs in General, Accessories or Apps, so if it's in the wrong place, please move it.
I would kill to have AniMoog on an Android device with a midi controller. I play that APP for hours on end and is the only reason I keep the ipad. I'm an absolute sucker for Analog synth sounds. I may just skip the Ipad next go around and buy a Moog.
I think the display on the Note is too small for that app. Here's hoping Android gets some good synth apps soon.
Yeah, I think for live performance you would a 9 or 10" tablet. Although if you have the hardware controllers to adjust parameters, you just need the processing power of the device and be able to read the screen. You wouldn't need to use the screen to adjust fiddly knobs. But I doubt revs would write an appointment that requires an external device to be used effectively.
But if an app like Caustic had USB midi support, it would great for songwriting or noodling with ideas on the go.
The synthetic screens in that app aren't too cramped on the Note. I was even using it on the Galaxy S without a problem.

Korg Nanopad
I couldn't get the korg nanopad to work, (as in be recognized in USB MIDI Monitor)
This would be sweet for practicing my finger drumming on my lunch break or such.
I also have Maschine, but it blinks twice and then goes dark, I think it draws too much power. I plan to try a powered USB hub when I find the power supply.
Galaxy Note to Yamaha PSR I425
Hi,
I tried to connect my Galaxy note to Y PSR I425 USB using OTG adapter, the USB Midi monitor application detects the presence (as it pops up from the background) of some device, but eventually says "No midi device connected". Any idea? Any other app works with midi devices?
Thanks
Does that Yamaha keyboard allow you to connect as a standard midi controller?
If you plug it into your pc, does windows recognise it, or do you need to install a driver for it?
I haven't found any apps yet except the piano and pipe organ by the same developer

Yes, I am able to connect my PSR-I425 to Windows 7 (64bit) OS. This keyboard uses Midi via USB. Ofcourse you need a driver that comes with the CD (also downloadable I guess).
If you need to install a driver on win7, then it's not a standard usb-midi input device. Standard devices don't need a special driver for windows to recognise it as a midi device.
Android only works with standard usb-midi devices.

vga output
I suppose it depends on each user. For me one of the killing points from the Note (and for tab p7300) is the capability to connect through the right connector an vga projector. This is awesome for me as I use this devices for my work. In parallel I use a pointer connected by blue tooth.

I have a Yamaha motif es 8 that to connect to the computer needs drivers through the USB. What if I connect it through the midi ports with one of those midi usb would that work for android?
I'm not sure.
If you have one available without buying one, then it can't hurt to try...
BTW, the midi implementation on Caustic 3 is pretty cool.
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app
Unfortunately I don't have one handy. Funny thing is I had a USB Host cable and even an otg cable so it's cool I found one on amazon for like $8. Will try the midi USB and report back...

Android file transfert works fine. Do NOT install the Samsung USB driver from kies this Is complete ****. airdroid is **** too you can't even copy a folder. ah don't forget to disable USB debbug otherwise aft won't detect your device.
I've never been able to see any of my Android devices on my Mac without using Android File Transfer & I believev that's the way things just are.
The problem is that Android only presents itself over USB as either a media device using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) or PTP (PrinterTransfer Protocol) standards - settable in settings. It does not support USB Mass Storage protocol.
Windows supports MTP out of the box for Media Player, so when you connect your Android to it - it shows up as what looks like, for all intents and purposes, a hard drive. In the Note's case - you get two: one for the internal simulated 'SD' card - and one for the actual SD card reader. This is why when you copy files to and from the Note, the experience is a little weird - it will offer to convert files for you, for example.
Unfortunately, MacOS X doesn't support MTP because, I suspect, Apple wants everyone using iDevices and their proprietary iTunes protocols which aren't compabtible with MTP.
Now, while it's dumb of Google not to support USB Mass Storage in Android, it's equally dumb of Apple not to support MTP in their OS.
Fortunately, there are addons you can get to fix this (as noted above).
Windows users (and I suspect, Linux ones as well) don't have a problem.

It's not across the board android, just the tablets. All my phones up to the note 2 would connect as mass storage even with exchange installed. Even the og note
I've just found an app called ES file explorer. Set up your Mac as a smb server and you can access your files via wifi. Much faster than blue tooth.
A video file transfer from my macbook to my note 10.1 took 4 hours, similar file via wifi took about 5 mins.
Still testing the app, but quite pleased so far.

Kinda. I don't think my Galaxy Nexus phone shows up in MacOS either (it's been a while since I checked so I could be wrong).
To complicate matters, each vendor adds bits to the OS. For example, Asus Transformer Primes can read NTFS drives out of the box - but most Androids can't. They've added something to the kernel to add the capability.
AFAIK, the base Android doesn't support USB Mass Storage on the host port.

I wanted to know if the Nexus 10 can be used as a PRIMARY laptop screen?
A wired connection would be preferred, with a bluetooth connection being an alternative.
I cracked the screen on my Lenovo E420 laptop and I wanted to buy a Nexus10 and use it as a replacement for my primary laptop LCD.
Thank you.

Thanks for posting, Rally.
Unfortunately, the solution you provided requires a Wi-Fi network connection.
I need a wired solution preferably, or bluetooth solution at worst, because I will not always have WiFi access.
From the site you provided:
http://www.celiocorp.com/screenslider_faq
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices can't see each other in the "Find Devices" (PC) or "Connect To" (Android) menus.
A: Make sure that you enable Wi-Fi on your Android device and that the ScreenSlider for Android app is running on your device with the screen turned on,
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices, enabled Wi-Fi on my Android device, but the two devices can't see each other to start a connection.
A: In order for ScreenSlider to function properly both your PC and Android device need to be on the same Local Area Network (LAN and subnet). Your PC can be connected to the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet but must stay on the same LAN and subnet. This should not be a problem for home use (and for some small businesses too) especially if you only have one wired/wireless router in the home or office connected to your incoming Internet connection (Cable modem, DLS modem, etc.). If your PC and Android device can not see each other on a complicated home network or in an office environment, please ask your IT administrator to see if both devices are on the same LAN and subnet.
But Why??
Why would you use the nexus 10 as a replacement screen when you could just simply well.... buy a replacement screen? Unless your intention is to use the nexus as it is intended as well but..... i don'y know i just find it odd to use a 350 dollar tablet as a replacement LCD.

You answered your own question.
If I have to buy a new "screen", I might as well get one that can serve 2 purposes:
1. A stand alone Android tablet
2. A replacement LCD for my laptop.
As nice and geeky as it sounds, it's never going to be practical. At best you could remote desktop into the laptop from the tablet, otherwise, not worth the effort, just get a new screen, or bin the laptop if you can live with just a tablet.
Maybe check out iDisplay?

No problem,
Well, the device isn't designed to accept video on its usb port, and it probably lacks the bandwidth unless it supports some reverse MHL implementation.
As for Bluetooth, I'm pretty sure all Bluetooth versions lack the bandwidth by some margin to display decent quality video at a decent rate.
Unfortunately just the nature of these things, it wasn't designed for it, so it'll never do a very good job of it.... Remote desktop on the other hand over Wifi will probably work quite nicely.

Guys I just got a great idea.
I can play GTA 4 on a N4 with splashtop right?
Thing is I wanna carry around a ultra mini itx PC in my backpack. They can now carry a AMD richland A10 APU that play everything in medium setting and HD resolution. Its great for work because I work split shift with american airlines and the waiting period between shifts can be anywhere from 4 to 6 hours and if the plane delay well even better more time to kill even if its $3 US an hour I make.
But how would you log on in the PC side? would you need a monitor or can you put it to autostart when you press a button and auto login so you can then control it with a phone
because carrying around a monitor defeats the purpose of why I want to build this.

You could have the computer have no login password so it automatically logs in on boot, and put a shortcut to splashtop in the startup folder so it starts when the computer boots. The main issue with it would be getting the computer internet access so that you could actually connect to it
so splashtop needs internet connection?
Remember I work in the airport so I have WIFI internet in both the office and in pizza boys. Ethernet is a no no I only have access to the WIFI password for AA So internet is a non issue for me but if you mean it needs monitor and mouse to connect to the wifi first and then use splashtop I see the issue.
Cant I just autostart it with windows like you said and then control it with my phone from there?
there are monitors in work I could disconnect one and bring my mouse for one day and connect to the wifi and save it? so it always auto connect when the PC starts?
My solution must be cheap and very portable for playing PC games on my N4. This PC must not have any mouse and keyboard and or monitor the only cable it must have is a power.
