[Q] Nexus 7 Screen Recorder? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Nexus 7, and I want to do video tutorials to show other people how to do certain things on the Nexus 7. I don't want to root, and I've tried doing the ADB/[email protected] thing on a Windows XP computer, then plugging my Nexus in. On the devices list, nothing shows up. Is there a better tutorial out there, or a better way to record screen? I'd really appreciate help. Thanks!

ATM screencast in the android market doesn't support the nexus line yet. If you have a digital camera you can use that. Your smart phone will work too.

Just found a solution
This isn't perfect, but it's the best thing I've found so far:
I can't post a link because I'm new here as a member, but search the Play store for MirrorOP Sender.
It's called MirrorOP Sender, and it pushes a video feed of the screen. Get MirrorOP Receiver for Windows or another android device and you can get the video feed there, and control the device from it. You could do a "proxy screen caster", perhaps, but not a direct one.

There are some apps int the market but none of them works on Tegra2 or Tegra3...
You can still give a try...

Does SuperNote work?

I'm waiting on buying a Nexus 7 but I'm unsure. Does anyone know if SuperNote works well on the Nexus 7?
The bottom toolbar is cut off and I got a rogue force close after about 10 minutes , but it's mostly functional.
You are talking about the Asus app right?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I ripped v1.51 from my TF101 and it works fine. It doesnt seem to show the bottom 5 buttons on the nexus like but you can get around that by enabling the 'gesture backspace' option, or by clicking the keyboard button. :good: I'd imagine Asus might perhaps include a customised version of this in a future update.
Yea, I'm referring to the ASUS app. I got to play with it at BestBuy yesterday and it was pretty good. I was hoping to get a Galaxy Note 10.1 for school but it appears to be vaporware as of now. The N7+SuperNote would be a nice touch though.
It works perfectly if you change your DPI to 160.

If you like SuperNote but the lack of bottom buttons is a problem (and you're not willing root and try a fix), check out FreeNote. It's the closest alternative and a great app, but personally I still prefer SuperNote.
Thanks for posting those links. The link to supernote is version 1.4 and I have 1.5.

I'm sure most of you know but changing your DPI will cause you to have apps not show in the market

usb cam on nexus 7
I have a logitech quickcam pro 9000 mounted on the nexus with sticky mount.
I havent found any application yet to get it working.
I have tried several apks, like "usb cam Controller" and others. Unmounting the camera while this apk is running gives a message "camera detached".

I find most people tend to think anything bigger then a tiny phone or actual camera looks far too silly to use for a camera...
I find the 7 inch tablet standard to be awesome for taking pictures though. I'd be interested in trying to get some external camera to work, just have to see if I even have one lying around though
Check over at slatedroid.com under viewsonic gtablet then under ROM/development. Look through the last 10 pages or so of their ICS thread. They had a USB Cam working (or do a search for USB cam). I'm sure the script or driver could be ported over by someone. Sorry for another website mention, I'm just trying to help. Also you could contact fosser2 at slatedroid (I think he's on xda also).

Want to buy Nexus 7 but have some questions

Hi,
I'm quite eager to get the nexus 7. I do have a few questions though. Firstly, I'm planning to use it to word processing and some reports on the way home. The issue I have is that the nexus 7 doesn't have Polaris Office which is what I really want to use. Is there any way to get it and how do the alternativies stack up? Its essentials that I'm able to make and edit word 2007 documents. Secondly, is the screen big enough to do so? It seemed ok to me but just want people's opinions. Thirdly, I've heard its very rooter friendly but lets say I root.. Is it possible to get Polaris Office.. Also, any idea about when the free google play credit offer is till? This is something I really want. Lastly, I've heard there are going to be some keyboard cases for the nexus 7 but is there one already?
Thanks
Sean
Personally I wouldn't dream of using this thing for work. If you want a tab for working too you can't beat the Asus Transformer range in my opinion. This thing is clearly aimed at media consumption and does not lend itself to productivity.
But! That's just my opinion. Yours might differ. My advice is try one out for a couple of hours first. You might hate it, or love it.
You can buy Polaris office can't you? You also could use Google drive

You can't get it on the play store.. Also google drive is for storing stuff.. I need to use my tablet to edit stuff.. I have an S3 which has Polaris office but can't find it anywhere for the gaalxy nexus.. I seriously want it since its a bloody good software and the best out there..
Just look online for the APK or use your Google play store credit when you buy the tablet.

Google docs is built into drive now actually, so yeah you can create stuff and store stuff, as well as edit word documents from your pc
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I haven't tried any office suites to edit things on the run, but I do use it regularly through the Citrix Receiver connection to our work servers, and that works well, so, unless you need larger DPIs or anything like that, it will be fine for business stuff.
Unfortunately, it seems that Polaris Office is licensed as OEM only on certain devices. So we cant provide any links to apks or anything, as it would be classed as warez.
Check out this thread h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085173 (Sorry, still cant post links), it compares the different Android office apps.

Its not on google play... As for APK's, which is a reliable website?

With a BT keyboard the Nexus 7 would work fine for editing documents. I'd suggest checking out Google Drive before purchasing a suite of office software, though. Give it a go on your PC and phone, see how it works for you and make a decision from there.

What's that suppose to mean? Why don't you use google play store? There's lots of free apps on there. The play store is the best feature of android. Also asking for pirated sites are against forum rules.

Just pull the apk from your S3 and move it to other devices. Profit.
I'm pretty sure I have polaris office backed up in titanium backup from my flyer, as I backed up everything, copied it to my PC, then wiped so I could send it off to the eBay buyer. Dunno how well it would work though as the flyer was honeycomb

How exactly would I do that? Sorry but I've only had android for 2 weeks lol.
Thanks

Well you'll need root access on your s3 to do it. Obtaining root is different on every device so you'll have to check the s3 forums for info on how to do that and then you'll need a file explorer such as root explorer to access the files. You'll need to navigate to system/apps and the apk file will be in there. Talk the mount button on top of the screen to mount the folder and read / write, then copy it, paste it in your sd folder, and then plug the s3 in the PC, pull the file off, and then copy it on to your sd card on your nexus 7. Disconnect, make sure "install from unknown sources" is checked in settings, and navigate to the file using a file explorer, tap on it and it should install it like any other app

There are several apps on play store. I tried one of them "multiscreen multitasking THD" (you have to buy it to try it) but soon returned it. Very impressive idea but it could not connect to the Internet with its own browser, so I asked for a refund.

It worked fine as far as the multi window aspect. Quite cool! I just could not connect with its browser. It’s only $2 so you can try and see if you can get it to connect. I wrote to the author but have not heard back yet.

Paranoid Android is currently working on their implementation of multi window, but it uses an overlay concept to do it. IMO this is much cleaner than stacked windows. They also have a notification ticker that works like Facebook chat heads, which is how you launch the overlay apps. It's still in alpha status but it's shipping up to be really good.

Anybody got nexus 7 to work with jawbone up?

I am interested in buying a jawbone up but from what i can read online no one has successfully synced jawbone up with nexus 7..wondering if experts here have had better luck ? Nexus 7 is not on their supported devices at the moment but you can install the app.

Well to answer both your question, I have to say it does work with the nexus 7. the app is not currently in the app store on google play, you have to download the app separately. a quick google and you shall find what you are looking for. its slow to upload, but works. goggle jawbone up apk for samsung note 2, this is the version I am using and I have to say it works.
Nexus 7 is missing line in support
Do you also get the arm wrist to sync with your nexus 7?
I read that the up needs line in support on the audio jack and neither the old or new nexus 7 provide that.
Of course you can install the app but without syncing there is not much sense in it.
Would be glad to hear that i'm wrong...

Jawbone UP v2 (audio jack one) + Nexus 7 fhd 2013 works great together
get the app from here apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader
you can get every app directly from the store. just put in the link or the app name (com.jawbone.up) and get it.
the first time i plugged the wristband didn't work at all.. sync error
i hard reset the wrist the first time (9 click + 1 long 30sec click) then i hack with volume and after some plugs and unplugs it worked.
if volume is max or min it doesn't sync.
i hope it helped.
