Smartphone Equivalent For iDemo

Hello, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3, and wondered if there was something that I could use with the S3 similar to idemo.

The setup for iphones, ipods and ipads that I came across was using Cydia, Screensplitr and iDemo.

This setup enabled a user to have an interface on his/her pc of their own mobile phone. This means that content could be streamed to the pc, and then recorded.

Looking to be able to demo the mobile on the pc live

Any suggestions appreciated

Warmest Regards,

Gordon

    not the prettiest of solutions but you can get a special cable that plugs into the headphone socket - on the other end you can connect to your big screen tv - i connected the other end to my pc via a special adaptor and used the software that came with the adaptor to record the screen that way.... the video to pc adapter was about $50 on ebay and the cable for the phone about $5- i used this with the Samsung S1

    i still have to try it on the S2 and S3 but i would be surprised if it doesn't - i haven't been using it since i use the iphone with the airplay server or xcode iphone simulator since its much easier to, no cables and also picture quality was even better...

    im taking it that you want to see the whole android interface? if not have a look at Samsung Kies not 100% sure of its limitations - or possibly take a look at the Android SDKs

    hope that helps

    Hi Jay, thanks so much for the prompt reply, Yes, I would be wanting to see the whole Android interface. What about Allshare, would it be similar to Airplay? Really have just bought my phone as I said so I am really still playing around with it, will have a look at Kies and Sdk's and see if there is anything I can use

    Thanks again Jay, sounds like a plan re adapter, bit messy but would do the job

    What about this Jay?

    think it might do my job?

      that looks like a much better solution! good find! if you get it can you let me know how you get on with it please - i have found some media sharing solutions actually only share just that the media file itself and not the actual device interface so if this does both - kudos to you for finding and sharing!

    Hi Jay, I did have an S3 lol, I got the phone from my broadband supplier only to find that they sold me a phone and do not have any network coverage at all in my area. I have therefore put in to cancel my contract. I had ordered myself a case two :-) Ah well, could have found out later and bought a lot more accessory toys. I may just buy an Apple, will see, in the meantime, my nice new shiny s3 is going back :-(

    If your going with the iPhone I highly recommend the windows/Mac software from airserverapp.com it's perfect for doing demos
