bluetooth through OTG?

Hey guys, just curious since I know the BT in the device is a bust would it be possible to get BT unning through an OTG cable and adapter. I was only thinking about this because i was going to try playing with an emulator and thought it would be neat to be able to use a real game controller.

Not possible, you'd need driver support in the ROM for specific hardware.

[Q] USB audio output? Nexus 10

Is there currently a kernel which supports usb audio output? I'm just wondering if I could do it. I saw workarounds and updated kernels for other devices, but do not know if it is available for our beloved tablet.

I believe there is a kernel, I'm running it right now actually. It's called KTManta. The link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015874
If you want to make sure just hop on the forum and ask the developer, I'm sure you'll receive a quick reply

[Q] Nexus 7 as win7 monitor?

Is there anyway to make the Nexus 7 work like a monitor on my win7 64bit computer? I have searched the Web for this for quite a time but haven't seen anything yet. I would like to use it as a kind of "media controller" so I can have Spotify (desktop version) or winamp there to change music while playing games at the computer.
The reason why I want it with the computer and not as a separate device connected to my speakers is I want sound from my computer as well.
I hope you understand what I mean//Alvin

There are plenty remotes for that in play store.... i have one for vlc and one for spotify on my tab but its sent for repairs and i dont remember the names of them

Well that would work too. Do anyone have any favourites? The problem with Spotify is that I don't have premium so I can't use the official "stuff"

My best tip is to try a few either til you find one that fits you or you get tip..... search and look at the pics in play store.... read the reviews..

Air display is an app that you can use to extend your desktop onto your tablet, as if you had two monitors, works good for me.

Can you use the touch in any of these?

Splashtop Remote or Unified Remote should work.

yes Splashtop HD(displays pc screen on tab),unified remote(just to control mouse,keyboard,apps) are best one.
Also you can use teamviewer,gpp remote.

Testing iDisplay, if that doesn't do it for me I will test the rest of your advices.
Sorry if my English is messed up. Not native language.

Don't try that.splashtop is better than that.
I have tried idisplay couple of times but don't know why my laptop hangs every time

iDisplay works well for me atleast. Really laggy though, But that's something to expect?

Try PocketCloud. I use it for server admin quite a lot.

(?) [Live cable TV] app

Do anyone know any good apps for streaming live cable TV?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Time Warner's is OK
The only streaming cable app I've tried so far is Time Warner Cable's app. Of course, I think it will only work if you're already a cable subscriber. Most channels are available to stream, plus some channels that are streaming only and aren't even available on the cable service. We have a pretty fast wifi here, so the video/sound quality is great on the streams. Biggest drawback is, you can only stream to your device while on your home wifi network...nowhere else. If you're trying to use it at work, you're S.O.L.
Also of note: I had rooted my Nexus, but found that the TWC app won't let you stream on a rooted device (or with USB debugging enabled). I don't know if that's the same with other cable streaming apps, but it's something to keep in mind. I ended up un-rooting my Nexus so I could use the TWC streaming (and Google Wallet, as it also will not work on a rooted or unlocked device). Sorry I can't point you to any better options as this is all I've tried so far.

Yeah, i need one for the road.

Just wondering if anyone has thought to set up a home VPN and tried the app? I don't have time warner but in theory it should work.

[Q] TV Out?

I do a lot of YouTube commentary while playing games and would like to try a Nova 3 or Modern Combat 4 walkthrough, just for sng's as nobody seems to be doing it for android games too much. I've been using BBQ screen with my PC and the framerates are good enough to consider using it, but the quality is awful at low settings (naturally) and anything higher than around 65 drops frames below 20fps on the receiver side and still looks really dodgy. Reading up on the subject of MHL and there is apparently no support for this on the RAZR m. What about the 3.5 mm RCA adapters? Or is MHL actually supported? Is there any other way of recording my screen and retaining half decent quality and framerate without theuse of a camera pointed at my screen? ZScreen and screen cast also don't work

There isn't any way to do TV out on the RAZR M (other than VNC)
Maybe someone will adapt screen sharing on chromecast.

And VNC is pretty much a slideshow. As far as I know chromecast already has screen sharing. Like, isn't that the point of the thing? Lol

My bad, the word I was looking for was device mirroring. All that the chromecast does (at the moment) is stream videos from YouTube, content from your Google account and Netflix. All your phone does is serve as the remote control.

Ah I see. Maybe if that becomes a thing I'll be more inclined to take a look at a chromecast

I had HDMI out on my prior device, and I used a grand total of one time in the phone's 2+ years of usage.
it's nice to have, but I never needed it, as other, easier options were available.
