[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Techronico:
What this will and wont do...

Will...

1. Allow you to run any x86/x64 Windows software from any Android device using the RemoteApp function of Remote RDP.

2. You can use the trackpad and right click of the transformer so most if not all functionality of the native windows app will be available to you.

3. You can create a shortcut for the app directly on you homescreen.

Will not

1. run the program natively in Android

2. run locally (ie you need a network connection)

3. grant you super powers

Requirements:

1. Remote RDP Paid version by Yongtao Wang (~$10) https://market.android.com/details?id=org.toremote.serversmanager

2. Windows 2003 Server or above machine as RDP Host (If anyone knows how to enable "Run Program on Startup" from the desktop versions of Windows RDP Hosts Let us know. Im actually using Windows Server 2008 for my setup)

3. Slight working knowlege of RDP (I will keep everything as extensive as possible and have screenshots all over but you might need to know a bit of whats going on)

--The average setup will must likely be a Win2008 VM running on your daily desktop dedicated to just this. If you need help just post your question, I monitor this thread regularly and update OP to clarify this more and more.

Instructions:

1. Download and install Remote RDP from Android Market. (Link above)

2. On your Windows Server, enable remote desktop connection. (Note your IP address)

2.5 Make sure to install the app on the windows server by going to "Control Panel>Install Application on Terminal Server"

2.7 Then Go to "Administrative Tools>TS RemoteApp Manager" Should look like this

2.9 Note the full path with file name for the app (you will need this later)

3. On TF run Remote RDP and select menu>add

4. Fill in the following

-Host: IP address of windows machine noted earlier

-User/Password/Domain: Optional...this will prompt you when you run the app or if you dont care about security or you have total control then put it there (be aware of risks though...)

-Color: leave alone for now not important

-Screen button: press it and select 1280x750 This resolution works best for TF because of the Android Bar that persists throughout.

-Program: fill in the path to the program excecutable in the box here that you noted from your windows machine... I know I didnt mention earlier. Ill edit again later.

-Name: use this to name what you want your shortcut to be named on your homescreen (not shown on screenshot)

My example

5. Hit back button

6. Select your app to test it (Ill add more test steps when I edit again...ie you should test if RDP is working before filling in program etc. This is just first draft to get the faster people up and running noawz!)

7. If your app runs good...back out of it using HC back button. BTW, this is full Excel on Android! with usage of TF Trackpad and right click...

7.5 Save to TF Storage (in the options if you notice that there was a check box for "SD Card" it actually mounts your internal storage to the Remote Server and allows you to save to it!

8. Longpress your app and select "Home screen shortcut".

More Info to come...please comment on your experience with this. I will answer troubleshooting questions too.

Thanks to...
