BlueStacks App Player

Bluestacks didn't work well for me

Appreciate the tips, the emulator lag bombed my PC and Bluestack wouldn't play the app I wanted to run.

[Q] Best app for remote control desktop?

I was looking to get a app that I can control my laptop through the internet, anyone have any experience with these apps, ive only seen a few out there. I want to use dropbox with it too so i can just store, send, receive files from my laptop to my phone whenever.
Gmote works great... flakey on 64bit win7 but does the best of them all.

I think he's looking for a remote desktop like app, and not a remote. I myself would also like to know if anyone has any opinions on a good remote desktop app.
PhoneMyPC isn't cheap, but well worth the mullah. I mostly use it to control my mouse when streaming netflix, but features are robust.

You'll also need to download a client for your PC. Uses your gmail l/p to remote into your box.

Anyone know of one that works with Ubuntu?
I also use phoneMyPC. It's a wonderful app. Well worth the money. Especially with a hardware keyboard. If you have 2 monitors, you can have the app bring up the monitor you wish to view. You can bring up a cursor on your screen which can be used to drag and drop files too.
I could not live without this app.

I use this as an RDP client to get into terminal services at work. Works really well.
I've tried most of them out there and have settled on PhoneMyPC. I find the interface the cleanest, especially if you are accessing a computer with more than one monitor (I use on one with 3).
Logme in ignition I can do it all as if I were literally using another computer to do the remote session.

+1 on Android VNC, and Gmote to just remotely control the mouse and keyboard, there both perfect....but thanks guys for PhoneMyPC and PocketCloud, will def check em out too!
Can these remote apps somehow be configured (i don't see how they could be) to wake up a sleeping computer? I am a firefighter so I am gone for twenty four hours and remote access would be really useful...

+1 for LogMeIn Ignition. Use it all the time.
I've used phone my pc and wyse pocket cloud. They both have their pluses but I would say pocket cloud edges out phone my pc for better functionality. Although if you don't have ultimate or enterprise versions of windows you're pretty much stuck using phone my pc...

An app to record what's happening on my screen

Has anyone developed an app that records everything that's happening on my screen? I have seen videos on youtubes of people showing off their phones and it looks like someone is recording just what's happening on the screen, not the phone it self. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

It's done with ShootMe (root required).
Not to bash the app but shootme just takes screenshots at max 10 per second to make it a video. It doesn't work for what I'm trying to show.
Is there any app that can capture the device at at least 20-30FPS?

This isn't exactly what you are after. but it might help you
You can install a VNC server on your phone from
the market and install some type of VNC viewer on your PC ,by doing that,
you can stream your phones screen to your PC and record it as a video
on your pc.

It is actually very straight forward to setup.
All you need to do is :
Download and install droid VNC server on your phone from the market (free or paid)
and download a vnc client on your pc , if you are using Linux you can install
"gtk vnc viewer" or any other one ,they are many available. or if you are using
windows, download TightVNC from download.com (cnet) and install it on your pc
on your phone, open up the app and and press start server it will give you some sort of ip address ,
from your pc open the viewer (TightVNC is both viewer and server) type the address and hit connect.
and thats all there is to it . Obviously both your pc and your phone should be connected to a wireless network.

For me that VNC app was terribly slow. Wouldnt be useful for recording your screen.
It also depend on the client you are using on your pc
And your network speed too.
But yeah the video is not going to be as smooth as recording your desktop. Its basically like using remote desktop.
You can also do it the otherway around so you can control your pc from your phone.

Any update at all on this? Any new apps around that do it properly?

Works perfectly for me, note you must have the android SDK installed, and point the program to it on first run.
Use ShootMe and at the top were it shows 'A heartbeat monitor thing' click that and click screencast. This will allow you to make videos of whats going on on your screen.. +Rep if I helped.

I had no idea ShootMe had a screencast option and I've been using it for over a year. Thanks so much. I've been using the android sdk and a program called [email protected], but ShootMe is a bit easier.

I have been looking at this recently and considering downloading it for testing.
What sort of impact does is have on pc resources?
I only use a laptop and would still like to be able to use other applications while bluestacks is running.
You can use lot of apps, but don't use Whatapp or similar apps because they can not work on 2 devices in same time. Just give it a try

Onlive desktop

Gentlemen,
I was wondering if anyone. Or could make this app work on our note 2. I saw an article about getting it working on the original note, and it included modifying the build prop to be able to download from play store (or just side load the apk, I guess), and modifying the dpi, both of which I know can be done once rooted.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Just download OnLive from the PlayStore...? I did and it runs fine (aside from my slow data speeds).
I agree with the above post.
The Android app has touch inputs for some games. If you have the onlive universal controller, than you can play any game that supports gamepads. Keyboard and mouse, maybe hit and miss. Maybe with a blue tooth keyboard and mouse.
What you're talking about, a lot of work that isn't going to give you better experience than what the Android app will give.
That,s on live
That,s onlive he is talking about (onlive desktop) there is a difference
one is for games the other for office use to different apps.
I don't believe the OnLive desktop is available on Android. I haven't seen anything about it being modded for android.
Unfortunately, it's just a miscommunication. There is the OnLive desktop client for the gaming service, and there is a OnLive Desktop service that's an additional fee. It was aimed at more the OSX and iOS people since it's Windows Server environment.
I used onlive desktop for some writing assignment on my transformer infinity so it definitely is for Android

No there is an Onlive desktop, aimed for tablets (android and ios). I had it working on my old evo view.
I have the apk, but it won't run. It is on the play store (not the version to game on), and it states not available for this version.
Let me dig and find the url for how someone got it working for the original note

I adjusted my dpi 240 and downloaded it from the play store. Then used xposed installer app tweaks to set the dpi for onlive to 192. Works fine for me.

Check out ppsspp in the Play store. It is a play station portable emulator. Once you download the app look for the nightly builds under the download section from the website, which you can access through the app. Once you get the settings down it really is the best emulator imo. I know you can play god of war on it
