App to control the pc keyboard with Rhodium one?

Hello to everybody,
today I was looking on internet for a small keyboard for my HTCP, that I can use to manage my notebook when it's connected to my plasma 50" without have to use the windows software keyboard.
But just before to buy it, I have thinked that would be great if I could use the keyboard of my rhodium for digit on my notebook, so I started a research asking to my old friend Google and opening this thread here.
Does somebody know if a similar app exists or not? I think it would be cool and very useful...
thank you

ok, after some study seems that do this task could be easier than I was thinking.
We can control our keyboard pc in 2 different ways:
using a specific software, like this http://www.mobilesrc.com/mobileremote.aspx
using a vnc connection
the first one would be the best solution imho, but I don't have a bluetooth module on my notebook so I would be glad if I could find a similar app that works over wifi.
The second solution could acceptable too, but using ultravnc and .net vnc is too slow to be useful, I need something lighter...

ok, I found my app.
With this you can use the phone as touchpad, to move the mouse, and input the text using the rhodium keyboard exactly as the notebook keyboard.
All over a tcp connection, without need of a bluetooth module (but you can use it if you want).
It's great, the app is called GRemote, you can find it here.
I also found a freeware app on sourceforge (here), but it needs a bluetooth module so I can't try it.
Goodnight

Hey, does anyone know of a USB solution?, 'cause nueUSBKeyboard v1.1 doesn't work for me at all. I'm using a CDMA Rhodium with stock WM6.5.

Gremote works without problem also on a USB connection, because when you connect your phone to your computer using Activesync (or wmdc) they speak over a TCP connection using IP addresses over a virtual network adapter.
So you can view your computer IP used to communicate with your device, executing this command from a cmd: ipconfig /all
and reading the IP address assigned to your Windows Mobile Remote Adapter
then you can add this IP as a "new computer" into your gremote client settings and that's it!

[Q] Android as Wacom tablet?

I was wondering if it is possible to connect your phone to the PC and use it as a pen interface for PC like the WACOM tablets used by graphic designers...(though i think that we wont get touch intensity)

try that, i'm at school and cant watch it.

use autodesk sketch book mobile to draw directly on the phone. there is an app to control the mouse pointer with the phone via wifi but it will not be useful.

Does a usb gamepad work in win8 tablet?

I have a Lenovo lynx win 8 tablet. I connect a usb gamepad. I see that it is recognized as usb generic gamepad (although in device manager I don't see a gamepad). The same gamepad work ok in nexus 7 tablet. Does anyone have a clue what is wrong? Perhaps I need some kind of drivers? In control panel I don't see "gamepad" or something like this, as I see in pc. Thanks,

Did your gamepad came with a driver CD? The gamepad should work with the tablet...after connecting the gamepad,open device manager & see if it shows any unrecognized devices

It didn't have a driver cd.. I go settings-change pc settings-devices , and when I connect it, it is recognized as" Generic usb joystick " without to have an option to change any settings or something..
If I go to control panel from desktop interface, I don't see any gamepad or joystick icon to click.. Is it the same for every tablet with win8 this or only mine?

Of course they work, your running full windows 8, its no different from your desktop or laptop if you have one. Even RT on the arm tablets has a degree of support for them (mainly the Xbox controller as 3rd party manufacturers aren't allowed to release drivers and windows itself has few drivers)
What make and model is the controller? It is most likely a driver issue or possibly user error (sure its not listed in with mice and keyboards on device manager).

I found out that every time I connecting it, in device manager, under human interface devices, it recognize it as usb input device... Probably I should change some drivers there? But haven't got anyone to try.. Perhaps any generic driver there for gamepad?

That means it has been recognised then. That should be the only entry.
Otherwise if its still not working in any games then you need to give us the make and model like I already asked. EDIT: Just noticed link in your post, hit google and can't find a single site not in Greek or any reference to that controller actually existing anywhere but Greek shops, certainly no info on drivers etc. If it doesn't work plug and play I think your best off getting a known brand controller (my personal preference is the wired Xbox 360 controller, play and charge kit for wireless controllers doesn't work btw, it has to be the wired one, Logitech also make a few popular models)

It is a cheap Chinese gamepad. It probably sell with different brand in many countries. The funny thing is that it is working perfectly in android without any driver (which I didn't expected, didn't bought for this), and is not working in the win tablet (for which was bought and expected to work)

Android does come with alot more drivers out of the box than windows does surprisingly, but at the same time its much harder install more.
Are you sure the gamepad doesn't work in any games because if its listed in device manager under HID's like it is then it should work. My 360 controller is only listed in HID's and in Xbox accessories (and of course your isn't an Xbox accessory).
Id go into a game and actually see does it recognise it.

I tried some. Also tried mame emulator. Can't set any key.. Is there any utility I can test to be sure? I remember in previous windows version, in control panel it had gamepad or something like this to test, change buttons etc. I don't see anything like this here.

You go into control panel>All items (sorry I dont know where it is on the new view, I always use the old style)>Devices And Printers. Should have a gamepad near the top, you right click it and it has "Game controller settings".
Something you can try for drivers is go back to device manager, find the gamepad, right click it and update driver software, see if windows just happens to find one online which matches.

Many thanks. Didn't expected to find gamepad settings under printers icon.. I found out that gamepad works. I see in gamepad settings buttons etc. It just don't work with tha games I had try.. Perhaps I must find something to remap buttons or something to make it work with some emulators and games.. I had something like this in the past.. Now I know that it does work I search more. Thanks all again.

[Q] Remote Desktop "Mouse Mode"

I am looking for a remote desktop solution, like LogMeIn or TeamViewer that doesn't require me to do any detailed configuration.
The problem is that LogMeIn, for example, won't treat my Note 3 phone as a tablet, so I can't use the mouse like a normal mouse. (The settings for mouse are "move mouse" and "move screen", but there is no direct mode available for phones to use a mouse like a regular mouse.)
My device is a Verizon Android 4.4 KitKat Samsung Note 3 phone (unfortunately rooting is not an option for me), and I am using it with the Note 2 dock with an external monitor and wireless usb keyboard/mouse. Everything works great except I can't find a good remote desktop solution that will allow me to work "normally" in terms of the mouse.
I also have Win 8 Home version on my desktop PC and do not want to configure port forwarding and a fixed ip to solve rotating external IP address assignments. (Please excuse me if I didn't say that correctly, but the point is that I really don't want to deal with those kinds of complexities.) Yes, I realize that I may have too many constraints - don't want configuration challenges (which I think rules out VNC or standard RDP), and also no rooting of the phone. But I am willing to pay a small monthly subscription, e.g. I looked at PocketCloud with $5/month, but that doesn't seem to support my requirement either from a quick look at the manual.
Is there anyone who can suggest a good solution for my needs?

Have you tried the google remote desktop? It's free. I've been pretty impressed with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought about that because it was relatively new. But I may try it (after some more reading). Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for external mouse support. Here's one review...
Review from Jim Fox
Great, but no external mouse support I have been using Splashtop for a while now, but was super excited to use this when I saw it come on the play store. The problem I have is that when I take remote control of my computer, I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The program works like a trackpad to control the remote mouse with touch, which is great when you don't have an external mouse, but makes it near impossible to control when you do. You have to hold the right mouse button down in order to move the remote mouse and then click with the left. Near impossible to use. Please fix.

On the other hand, the comments make me wonder if I should try LMI and TV again with an external trackpad instead of a mouse. I wonder if that behavior might be better?

VNC/RDP on Nook Simple Touch with NoRefresh

Hello,
Has anyone been able to make VNC / RDP on NST usable for text editing? I know it's not practical, since we are limited by the protocol, e-ink refresh, and the 800x600 resolution, but I just wanted to see if it can be done. With NoRefresh on, I've tried:
Clients apps for 2.1+:
AndroidVNC
RemoteVNC Pro
PocketCloud RDP and VNC
Remote Ripple
Servers:
I've tried x11vnc and xrdp on Linux, built-in screen sharing and vine-server on macOS, and RDP on Windows.
The most usable combo seems to be vine-server on macOS at 800x600 and Remote VNC on nook, as the mouse and keyboard are less delayed, but there's still ~1-2 sec of latency which seems to be normal. I can't really test out RDP fully because I don't have a keyboard and mouse on my Nook. but based on the performance of the on-screen mouse and keyboard, it doesn't seem to be any better.
Here are some threads about it:
NST as computer display (VNC)
VNC on NST

Maybe something useful here?

Thanks. I can get it to work as a vnc viewer, but I was wondering if there's any other solution that could decrease the latency. All of the apps like Splashtop, USB Mobile Monitor, etc require updated versions of Android so I guess this is the best that can be done.
