Hello,
I am new to AIDA64 and Odospace and found it to be a useful and interesting way to reutilize the old android LCD as a sensor monitor.
Thanks to all the DEVs and panel creators sharing their creative work. I have an Old rooted KitKAT LG V410 Tablet (1280x800) on which I have been able to get the Odospace remote panel installed and get the display.
AIDA64 and Odospace is installed currently on a low spec testbed to try and play around with the features as a sandbox.
I have gathered all parts and about to begin my bulid for HTPC SFF PC with the following parts for a Windows 10 (KODI/Light Duty Gaming Rig)
Reddit SFFPC
I have a couple of queries which I hope I can get some help around with :
1. I have seen on the test systems sometimes the tablet screen goes blank and does not come back untill I restart the odospace application on the Windows PC, is it a known behavior or any sleep timing setting. Is the tablet supposed to display screen until there is activity on the PC, or does the PC or Tablet has any idle setting to turn off the display. In the android app I have already selected the "Keep Screen On" option.
2. I have seen a couple of nice OSLCD templates profiles made for high resolution screens and hence as such don't display correctly if I import them in my installation for my tablet screen size. Is there a relatively straight forward way to resize those templates or do I have to go for each design element to be resized and repositioned.
3. For resizing the OSLCD template , only the OSLCD attached template profile is enough, or do I have to request the author to shar source files (background, icons, design elements). Which software is used to design OSLCD design items (GIMP/Photoshop etc).
4. I can see two types of templates shared in this thread, for OSLCD and for SensorPanel. I understand the "SensorPanel" templates are used for physically connected LCD on any of the display outputs (HDMI, DP, DVI) and cannot be used for Odospace Android Tablet. Is there any way to convert the sensorpanel templates to OSLCD templates.
Ok got my answer, apparently I can use the SensorPanel files imported in OSLCD window. Will try some experimenting there and will post results accordingly.
5. If anyone else has figured it out, for android tablet what is the best way to sync the display behavior with the PC On/Off/Sleep events. I have the tasker installed (with Secure settings plugin). Have also started "Autostart" to have the "Remote Panel" app start directly after a tablet shutdown/restart.
For example if I want to have tablet go blank or in screensaver mode when the PC is shutdown/sleep and let the tablet come back alive in sensor panel screen whenever the PC is turned on . Any sample tasker template if can be share, would be useful to understand and apply.
Thanks for reading and sharing the guidance and response.
