Control Android TV with Android Phone I have a new tv that has Android 4.0.3 installed.

I would like to control the Android system on the TV from my Android based phone. I have tried the following applications.

XBMC - Has a great remote and good interface but I would like to control the whole Android sytem not just an application.

DroidMote - Has a server application that will only run as root. (Yes I could root the TV but that's effort)

TeamViewer - Only offers remote control through view and click.

I understand that sending keypresses and control the Android system may require root due to the need to interface with the Android system but I'm sure there would be a way to do this without root and Android to Android should be very compatible.

Suggestions??

I just briefly read through the manual for your television found at Kogan's website, and as far as I can tell, the only available connection interface other than the typical IR used by remote controls is network-based. That means whatever application you use has to be supported both by the serving device (i.e. your TV) as well as use the local network protocol, much like the Netflix application has recently built in.

From what I read about DroidMote, it's going to be similar to TeamViewer, however you have the added downside of needing root, which I understand you're attempting to avoid.

I'm not necessarily presenting a suggested solution here, but I did want to call out some of the limitations I've spotted while digging. I think you've listed the best out-of-the-box options thus far, so I'm afraid I have no additional suggestions beyond.

Good luck.
