Andriod with tv

ballfun

So I'm getting a new phone so I'm thinking let turn it into a home theater . So does a controller work with the home screen or act as a mouse is it possible? Also what is the best theme for using on a TV?

He's getting a phone, and wants to connect it to a TV to use as a media player.  He wants to find a remote that will navigate whatever OS it has (like you would with a Roku or a Nexus Player).  He also wants the possibility of a "10 foot" friendly theme for the device, for use while it's in "media player" mode.

 

ballfun - you need to provide us more information about the phone you've selected.

If you're using software like 'Kodi' (or 'XBMC', or 'OSMC' or whatever it's being called and used on this week) then there are apps in the android app store that let you control them over a wifi connection. Just search for 'Kodi Remote' or something similar.

There's a very clean skin for Kodi called 'Conq' (a variant of which is used on OSMC) which is quite nice to use and look at from a sofa-TV distance.

Eeh, by gum.
