Description
Tablet Remote let you control an Android tablet or phone with another Android device.You can send common input like "Back", "Home", "Menu" or "Search" to the tablet, control its volume and brightness and also type words.
You can navigate in the other device like a DPad and send special command like "Play", "Next" or "Previous" which is very useful when watching a movie.
You can play games that support key input with the gamepad like most Xperia Play compatible games.
I know most virtual gamepad can't replace a real one, but with this gamepad, I'm able to easily play any platform games : it's "super mario" optimized!
Oh, your phone doesn't need to be rooted and it's free, please enjoy!
Instructions :
1) Installation
Install the Tablet Remote on both devices;
2) Setup
For the receiver device (the tablet), go to the "setup" section and make sure the two options are check by selecting them and by enable Tablet Remote as a keyboard;
3) Connection
Go to the "connection" section and select the device you want to connect.
You'll have a notification on both devices when they connect with each other. If you don't find the other device, you can use the "scan device" and "make device discoverable" commands to make it appear in the list.
Only devices on your local area network (LAN) will be showed with the "scan devices" command. Make sure both devices have Tablet Remote on when you use that command.
If you have problem connecting with the device, try it with the other one or unbind both device and try it again.

*Update* Keep up the good work I just connected my tf-101 transformer to my droid 2. I originally had problems but I believe an update may have fixed it. Only one small problem. Needing to change the keyboard to tablet remote instead of using the normal keyboard. I go to click "ABC" and no keyboard comes up until I change the input method. Maybe a "mouse" touchpad like feature instead of the arrows might be nice too.

nexus s / Acer iconia a500 needs some bugs worked out for the gaming. x should drive in gta, it reverses, and other functions bindings need improvement.
