Gonna check it out now...

That's the one i was thinking of
V

I just tried it.. it is awesome....
to bad it's not free any more
This program will be much easier to use, if the PDA's screen is large..
using this program on a small screen like the magician's will be useless IMHO

Should be fairly easy to re write. Will try to investigate later!

PPC Tablet
You might want to try this, it's a commercial product, and as such it serves the purpose well.

It has several predifined layout :a drawing tablet, touchpad, numeric pad, presentation controller, windows media controller. You can even create your own layout or modify existing one.

Yep, you should give it a try if you're bored one day or another. The trial works OK... I like the idea of using the XDA as a universal remote for the laptopo via the design mode but as a pure Graphical tablet the thing sucks. And aside from this I have trouble getting decent connections. Direct connections over ActiveSync (USB or Bluetooth) for some reason are the most dodgy. And if they work they are hopelessly sluggigh - i.e. a few pixels movement a second. If you get to work on this, lemme know. I might have the odd idea for a feature.

DOSBox running perfectly on Vibrant!

It's running inside my old Debian chroot I've migrated from my old Mytouch 3G and Cliq.
It uses a VNC server with geometry 800x480, TWM window manager, and DOSBOX with a config file disabling scancodes, scaler=none, and all audio disabled.
Runs quite well. I haven't tried anything particularly demanding yet, but Moraff's Revenge, some old SSI gold box games, and various Ultima games play just fine.
The Swype keyboard is a GODSEND for emulation on this device. the cursor key input mode is PERFECT for MS-DOS games.

That's awesome. Haven't touched linux in Android since I played around with it back on my G1. Any tutorials you'd recommend?

If any X-Com or UFO games run nicely, I will never get anything done ever again. Officially.

Can you post the source for this?

i doubt it would run and if it did, probably not very well but i saw dosbox and suddenly thought about m.u.g.e.n. it ran on dos back in the day, i remember wasting countless hour setting up mugen with various characters and such

Sorry everyone, forgot about this thread.
An update: The mouse is seriously messed up; any game that relies on mouse input is basically unusable. Not sure if there's a work around for it. It's also fairly slow, but that's not all that surprising considering this is a cellphone.
I'll try to type up a decent how-to this afternoon.
Games I've run:
Dungeon Master
Ultima Underworld
Ultima 0 - 5
Legacy of the Ancients
Just about all of the SSI gold box games
Telengard

Hi, great job, but please post the how-to...thankyou!

Yes Please! I have an old DOS calculator that's critical for my job, I'd love to be able to run it on my Vibrant and Tab. Then I could finally get rid of the old XP laptop I have to hang on to JUST for this 1 program. (Can't get it to run on my Win7 machines).

Wich keys do you use for ctrl and alt?

Does anyone know if I can use my phone as a keyboard/mouse for the MK908?

I just got an MK908 and wanted to use my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) or my Nexus 7 tablet as a wireless or bluetooth keyboard for the MK908. Does anyone know how I can do this? I would like to avoid buying a mini-keyboard.

Droidmote Client works well. It works much better than the free alternatives out there.
In the end, however, I ended up buying a Logitech K400 keyboard b/c it worked even better.

Hello
I am in the same situation.
And yes it is possible.
Droidmote is a solution.
I am trying RKremotecontrol. I just installed it yesterday evening but I didn't had enough time to test it.
It seems to work but I don't know yet it it's a good way.
I got an example in youtube but , I am a new user here and I can't post a link
Search for this keywords: "Remote control app for RK3066 on MK802 III "
N.B: (This tool is installed in a MK908 custom rom from a certain Finless)
Tell us what you try

Yes you can, there is several solutions, search the Playstore (Droidmote, Tablet Remote) or what LeTFiD told you : RKremotecontrol, a dedicated/native solution for all RK devices.

[Q] leaf microsd for rooted nexus 4

hi guys sorry if this has been answered i yet to find this particular answer so im hoping i can be guided in the right direction, i have read a few things but all they talk about is the actual otg cable and not the otg device i use which i think draws less power
heres what im trying to use:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this is what i keep reading about:
i know this may be a dumb question but i am kind of slow and it's been awhile since i done all this so im rusty, with that said is there any possible way of using the leaf with a rooted nexus 4 beside using the y otg? once again i apologize if this has been answered just looking for quick guidance, thank you for your time and hope you have a good day.

I believe you would need a custom kernel that has OTG enabled for anything like that to work. Unfortunately I can't speak to the concern of power draw, but I believe that it would also need power that the Nexus 4 can't supply.

so the leaf and the otg are pretty much the same in which i would still need to supply power? by the way thank you for replying

Yes, I think for both of them power would need to be supplied externally. I have no experience with this leaf device and so I can't be of much more help on how to go about doing that. Sorry.

You need to use Y cable. Something like this Amazon link

Not exactly, because the leaf device OP is talking about is not a USB device, rather a microSD device.

I have a Dash micro laying around. If it works on my Nexus then that Leaf should as well.

Show off your DEX desktop... and share hits, tips, usefull apps, sollutions...

Hi there folks!
At bottom you see my desktop from dex, i have fullHD samsung TV to work with dex, i wish to have better screen resolution but you know, money, money, money.... In nearest future i will buy desktop monitor and attach all cables and stuff to it. But later, ofcorse, i will share my setup.
I have few apps as you see, i use samsung internet browser for facebook due to it`s desktop mode that is best for dex, chrome`s facebook experience is not good, and samsung`s version is just like normal pc feel like facebook. So i have shortcut there. And for writing - for now i have open office port but this makes me angry due to spell checking, I`m writing native in Polish but i want to write also in english without mistakes and that open office port is just more problems that benefits. Also i have camera roll gallery app but also - to change because of lacking 360 photos view, any ideas?I had quicpic but i read that newest version is somehow buggy and this pink fonts... nope.
Rest of apps is just normal, and i cant find any other usefull apps to use with dex for now, i`ve try to connect my two hard drives to dex but it`s just not working like i want it to. What is funny - i have tv android box and this peace of cheap dung works normally with both hard drives... I`ve try different ntfs mounter sollutions but everytime - failure.
For now i feel like DEX is not developing anyhow, no updates, no new functions... i hope that this is no project like bada os project, i hope that this would be developed in future.
So, what is your ideas, apps, tricks and tips for DEX? How your DEX screen looks like?
