There are free apps in the market, but if you are suggesting getting the paid app for free you'd be better to look elsewhere. Pirating of apps is highly frowned upon on XDA.

Looking for one tht does any tv. Ones in market say smart tv. Not looking for a pirated app. But dnt see how samsung can advertise for the gs4 having a tv app when it doesnt

It does it is called watch on if you are on a aosp rom like cm 10.1, aokp, or slim bean you cannot use it as a remote. If you are on stock just open the watch on app and follow the instructions in the app.

Don't think you can. Each device has a very limited, basic set of buttons. I tried adding the control pod for my logitech speakers, and it basically had on/off, and volume. Despite the fact that while selecting the device code, it provided me a list of input sources to choose from and was able to correctly switch between them, it then did not provide this input switching on the virtual remote itself.
For the half hour or so that I played around with WatchOn, my impression of it was: it's a very clunky, poorly designed, poorly executed app. The result of guessing what level of functionality the users want, rather than actually researching how users would expect to be able to use the app.

Well it has everything I want but I just need that dvr button because thats the main button I use

[HOWTO] Use your Epic as Mouse/Keyboard for other Android devices

So, as far as I know, this should be able to control PC's too, and maybe PS3's. But, I've only tried this on other Android devices. Should control anything on CM7.X, or anything on any form of Android 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.
Prerequisites(Epic 4G specific):
Has to be on an AOSP based ROM(CM, AOKP, Paranoid, etc)
Step 1.) Enable Bluetooth on your Epic 4G and other Android device.
Step 2.) Pair the devices together
Step 3.) Now, install "BluePutDroid" on your Epic from the Play Store.
Step 4.) Open BluePutDroid, hit the Start key on the top left
Step 5.) Swipe up the "Log" bar to make sure there were no errors. If there were, try step 4 again.
Step 6.) Tap the device you want to connect to(your other Android device)
Step 7.) When it finishes loading, the screen should be green. Swipe on this to move the mouse on the other android device. Tap once to click on the other device, and hold down till the screen turns red to do things like scrolling, drag and drop, etc.
If the S/W keyboard shows up, hit menu "Toggle Soft Keyboard" to hide it. If it keeps enabling itself, install "Null Keyboard" from the Play Store and set that as your input method while using BluePutDroid. Also, the H/W keyboard works great. So you can use that to type, or navigate with the Dpad
This app works on other devices as well, but I can't go into great detail on ROM compatibility and such.
If your device has CM7/9/10 or any AOSP based ROM, this will work.
This will work on the (rooted) stock ROM of some devices, such as Nexus S(all forms), Galaxy Nexus(all forms), and Galaxy S3 (all forms)
On other's it will not work on the stock ROM, regardless of root, such as Galaxy S(entire first series), and many older HTC devices(not sure of newer ones).
According to the app developer, this is kernel related and nothing he can do; if it works, it works. if it doesn't, get.cm
Thanks! I'll look into this.

I can confirm that this works with windows and linux - I've been using this app for nearly a year, and it works well
But I didn't know it worked with other CM devices - that's an awesome find

Would this work if the other device doesn't have bluetooth?
Amazing stuff though, I wish my netbook had bluetooth that would have made it even more amazing lol.

There's apps for PCs similar to this. Like RemoteDroid and gPad. I'd prefer gPad because it has many other uses, like controlling windows media player, microsoft powerpoint, and using it as a mouse/keyboard obviously. But again, it's over WiFi. Bluetooth is beta AFAIK.

This app has been around for at least a year - the benefit of bluetooth is faster response times than over wifi. I think that's partly the result of the direct connection, and partly because the wifi methods involve a computer-side server (often using vnc, which uses some processing time to send a live stream of the screen, even if the connected client app doesn't need it, such as with a remote kb/mouse app)

I can also vouch for this on the ps3. Donate, help him out and no ads.
My wife was giving me **** "you are so techy, why can't you ruin the ps3 with your phone". So i googled and XDAed until i found this app.

I love to log on while the wife is using the computer. Move the mouse as shes trying. Priceless. I use advance touchpad. Its via wifi but very responsive, and it gives me all the keys. I have to be able to windows key + p to switch to my TV.

I have been wanting something like this as well.
To have an application to do this though, you would have to have two parts two it.
First part would be an app on your Android device, and the other part would be something that runs on a computer @ the house.
Reason for this is because you would want a secure connection between your phone and the app. Otherwise, anyone/everyone would be able to access your home automation system.
If there is anything like this, that would be awesome, but I don't think there is
The closest thing you can get to it is HomeSeer, but it isn't voice activated. It's only buttons.
If anyone knows of a program that would do voice activation home automation, please let me know!

This is not true. The one on the s4 can add more than two. Go into setting on watchon and select add another device. You can also add another room also. I have mine set up with cable tv and onkyo receiver.
You could also try out Touchsquid. It's a Samsung app for the IR Blaster. I've been using the paid version with great success.

Touchsquid is not a Samsung app.
The app name is 'Samsung remote by Touchsquid' and it works amazing the new version is able to go in portrait mode. I've used I only my tab 2 7.0 and S4.

Battlelog for BF4 with Battleview ?

I downloaded Battlelog ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.bf3bl.inc) last night along with the launch of BF4. Apparently, while you are playing, you are supposed to be able to use your phone or tablet to view the battle map. On my 10.1 tablet, I was able to get this feature to work, but not on my Note 3. Since the resolution of my Note 3 is better than the 10.1 tablet, shouldn't I be able to put my phone into some kind of tablet mode?
So my most immediate question is, does anyone know how to make this program recognize my Note 3 as a tablet instead of a phone? And, by the way, I'm not rooted.

You need to be actively playing or just launching a game. Notice at the bottom of your browser, you have a blue bar appear. In that bar, at the bottom towards the right on my system, you should see "Battlescreen" as one of 3 buttons. If you have a dual monitor set up, you can use your second monitor as the Battlescreen window in your browser. Its the same procedure on the tablet.

Lol... Nah, COD is about as fun as Candy Crush Saga or Solitaire. BF4 has every aspect of a game possible, ground pounder, tank's, apc's, helicopter's, jet's, boat's, gunship's. Run and gun only is not for me.
Back to the main question, does anyone know how to make a program think its installed on a tablet?

[APPs] SmartQ Z-Watch Functional Apps

***UPDATE 6/26/2014*** Due to some hacking and someone not playing nice...i have shut down the XDA FTP for the Z-watch.

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99ยข is hard to find due to the holidays.
