Is there an easy possibility to clone the screen of my s4 on my Win8 Notebook? I know there is a function for apple products (i.e. iphone/ipad and mbp via airport), but I would prefer a non-apple solution which is more open (but as simple).

Are you looking for video or video+audio? If you just want to mirror the screen, you can get something like Droid VNC Server or TeamViewer QuickSupport. If you want to broadcast audio and video then I'm not sure how you'd do that.

Cloning the screen would be enough. (audio broadcasting just a nice extra though...)
I have a 4540s that I hackintoshed with Windows 8 as a dual boot. In mavericks, airplay works great on my Apple tv this probably isn't much help though, but it took so long to get it all working that I wanted to brag

Well yeah, those work, and you can also try BBQscreen demo in legacy mode and that might work a bit faster. I tried it but I was too lazy to make it work well.
It's a pitty that there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for airplay/airport for android/windows...
Sometimes Apple definitely does something good... ^^

Well technically Apple's Airplay doesn't just play on a Mac without a program on the Mac either. To airplay to a Mac you need a server program, same as android. Google also makes the Chromecast to compete with the Apple TV, and either devices can to display out through a cable.

Does anyone know if you can push the homescreen/email/web/etc to a tv or just videos. There is a video online of the Incredible doing the whole UI so I am hopeful that its the same with the EVO.
I think its just videos... I may be mistaken but if it is, I'm sure someone will put something together that allows the whole UI.

I'm pretty sure regardless of what it does out of the box, once we have root and start fiddling around that will be one thing that gets hacked pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, the TV doesn't mirror the phone's UI. Only videos and slideshows play on the TV - the rest of your content is stuck on your phone, including still images, games, and presentations.

I think it would be awesome to push the whole UI and then use an app such as Airmouse or TouchMouse (iPhone Apps) to lay in bed and control your device. So awesome to just view/play movies with the help of an iPod touch air mouse app.
BTW I would gladly pay for this app if someone could develop it.

So you want to get your UI on the TV so you can watch yourself controlling your device with airmouse?

It's too bad this phone doesn't have DLNA support like some of the Samsung phones have. That way we can forget about the whole HDMI cable thing and stream it wirelessly.

It's the same principle as putting displaying your desktop on your TV. It's just a better experience. I have a Dell Mini 10V with Mac OS on it. I connect that to my TV and work from my bed or browse internet with AirMouse.
I'm about to purchase a core i5 tiny pc to build a nice portable, full powered linux box. Does anyone know if I can use the Xoom as the primary monitor for this little box? I'm going for portability fitting the tiny pc & the Xoom + keyboard in my laptop bag. I've looked at iDisplay but it seems like it makes your android device a secondary monitor. I'm looking for something to make my Xoom the primary.

You could get LogMeIn Ignition or any of the other remote desktop apps and just remote log into the PC... this is assuming you'll be able to network them in some fashion.

Didn't even think about running it headless. I think that would work if they're not sharing an internet connection. I'm not sure it would work if i'm tethering the tinypc to my Xoom for internet connectivity, either way, I'll give that a try 1st. Might not need to buy anything. The only issues I can think of is the mouse, which would be connected to the tinypc and not my Xoom, i'm sure I could use my Xoom keyboard for typing. Time to experiment.
Let us know how this turns out, I'm very interested in your project. Might have something similar in planning soon.

Sounds like a interesting project. Keep us updated about your experiment.
In another thread someone wanted to know exactly the opposite - how to connect an external monitor and display something else than on the Xoom. There were some misleading references to an app called iDisplay which does what YOU want. So go to the market and check it out or search the forum for iDisplay. Good luck!

I'll definitely give iDisplay a look if it does what I need, I was under the impression that it only acted as a secondary monitor allowing you to extend an existing monitor but I would love to be wrong.
I will keep everyone posted once I get my minipc....

iDisplay is Windows and OS X only at this stage so it is a no go for the original request of Linux.
As far as speed goes, it is too slow to be usable to me on my Macbook Air 11" (1.4 Ghz dual core). It works in that the xoom shows up as a second screen and displays something. But the refresh rate is so bad (5-7 frames per second maybe) it is really only useful for static content. This may be the wireless access point I am connected to, which is distant enough that I am only getting 2 bars on the xoom with it. I have been meaning to try tethering the Air to the xoom to see if that performs better but I have not made time for it yet. Nor have I tried it with Windows yet.
I hope/assume the iPad version is better because I can not see anyone voluntarily purchasing and using it with the performance I am experiencing on Android.
Actually the speed has in this case nothing to do with your hardware. iDisplay is set somehow to only have a refresh rate of 12 fps. I was using it yesterday and my pc is an i7 with sli and stuff and the wireless router was right 1 meter in front of me but the speed was very lousy
Maybe they fix it somedays or at least give you more options to set the fps and the quality of the images.
For ipad users there is a similar app called air display. This one, so I read, has an fps set to at least 50. Much better than 12
I have a xoom and I run fpse and n64oid on it and I hate the on screen keyboard so I was wondering is there a way to use my phone as a remote for those emulators on my tablet?

That would be cool. I have an Ipad 2 that connects to the TV so it would be as if the Ipad was a bunch of consoles.
actually i was thinking in some identical direction, everyone knows splashtop or crazyremote i guess. it allowes u to cloud/stream, with minimal lag, ur pc-games to an android device. just a little question, i know this may need some custom rom. but is there a chance ( also in a technical way, especially when a new kernel/rom (sorry im not a dev ^^") is out)that someone could make a prog like splashtop ( minimal lag cloud/stream remote client) with the use of the xperia play buttons as a controller in windows through wifi? i guess this could be an answer to all our dreams, having a strong cloud computer, rendering all our beloved games Just dreaming , i know, cause i can imagine how much work this will need, but playing with balls of steel (;D), i know every other phoneuser would get jealous.
I love using Splashtop on my Ipad. It is one of my Fav apps. That and Air Vid.
The Air Vid dev said he won’t make an android version because:
It's been mentioned here many times, unless Android gets solid live http streaming protocol support the Air Video port is very unlikely.

There is also another app called Skifta that is DLNA certified as a streaming app.

Horrible at marketing, not very good.
From the tv ads I tought it was their renaming of DLNA (laaaaame), but this is incredibly cool and completely different! Aside from that the PS3 had DLNA support in 2007 already, so it's even older even if I'm not sure how much.
DLNA offers you to stream multimedia files (video, pictures, music) to a compatible reciever, but that's all. You wouldn't be able to watch video from an app like Hulu and so on, just files you have on your device. Also, nothing like seeing on a tv (passing through a special device like Apple TV, true) the game/app you are using at the moment, if it was just DLNA. It's closer to a wireless HDMI transmitter/reciever, but it costs way less than that!
Airplay has been around for a while. It is similar to UPNP/DNLA.
Anyway, Airplay is an RTSP variant with DRM. It's been reverse engineered, and there is an a freeware C lib for it. The biggest advantage to Airplay is that it probably had tighter standards. UPNP allows pretty much anything, which means you end up with a lot of cross device format compatibility issues.
I haven't seen a lot of really good uses for either. DNLA is kind of fun to DJ with and maybe should pictures/videos from your phone. I think a really cool app would be to take the SD card from my camera and send the pictures to a TV. You can kind of do this, but I haven't seen anything real slick.
If you have a device that supports AirPlay/DNLA, it likely that it can already do whatever you need to through that device and use your phone/tablet as a remote (This is how I use my Onkyo TX-NR509). The problem is that both protocols rely on a wireless network, which is susceptible to drop outs.
FYI: You should check out iMediaShare. It's pretty impressive (I'm not sure it works on Transformer, it's really geared more toward phones).
How about a cheaper, more efficient, more universal solution transformer owners can already utilize: HDMI mirroring...
WiDi (if it ever becomes standardized) will then blow airplay/DLNA out of the water anyways and only requires a firmware update in existing WiFi modules.

In short, I want to use my Nexus 10 to play games on my Windows desktop, on the same network. I have a 5GHz router + Gigabit Ethernet, so the connection should (hopefully) be fine.
There are only two programs that I'm aware of that should be able to do this. Kainy, and Splashtop 2. Both programs have their own issues though.
With Kainy, if I use anything above Fair image quality, either the top or bottom-half of the screen on the N10 will be corrupted. Also it seems there is a decent amount of audio delay (video is fine, audio is behind), and the framerate on the N10 seems to drop drastically randomly.
With Splashtop 2, it works for the most part, except input is always treated as a tablet. For example, with just my N10 at all, if I try turning the camera on any 3D game, it will "spaz out" and go every which way and not behave as intended. If I plug in a USB mouse to my N10, it will do the same exact thing (I guess mouse input on Android is still seen as touch).
Not sure if there's any known fixes for the above issues I ran into (if there is, I'd love to hear ) but is there any other programs available that might help me be able to stream PC games to my Nexus 10 at decent framerate?

It is, but the app works (and can be purchased for) on the N10 strangely...
In any case, the THD version "does" work, but it puts a virtual joystick on-screen for camera controls it seems (I only tried it with the WoW profile). But touchscreen and mouse turning were still an issue.
I emailed Splashtop 2's support about it and they said it was something they were looking into.
The Kainy developer mentioned on his forums that the next version should fix some issues, which I'm hoping will fix the issues I'm having.

It would be nice when I'm not in-front of my computer. For example, I walk to a friend's house almost every weekend, and dragging my entire Desktop along is kind of a pain. Essentially, I would love to just be able to Stream games from my Desktop while it's at Home, to my tablet (which is far easier to take) There's also a coolness factor I would think if I would play some Guild Wars 2 from a tablet
Also it would be nice around the house too if I wanted to play some Dota 2 if I was downstairs or something lol.
