ZC.Sulima Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Hello all! I have dug up my old iPad 2 and started playing with both ARX and the LCD functions of AIDA64. I have three questions: What do I need to do to make ARX work with this iPad? I tried a lot of different things, but I can't seem to make it work. I tried to use both the Logitech Ghub and Gaming Software (either latest version) but no joy. I can't seem to communicate with the iPad at all. I know from reading the forums that ARX seems is a bit touchy, but I also know that some folks were able to make it work. I would like to USE ARX since my understanding is it works in the full screen mode, and that it has some other advantages over iOS browser (of which I am not 100% clear on). What would be a good iOS browser to use on the iPad? I am mostly interested in one that offers full-screen mode, and one that is stable. I do not need bells and whistles on it at all, since I am planning on dedicating the iPad to this function and there is not need for fancy internet browsing. So far I was able to identify one (called Full Screen Web Browser by Ankur Diora), but it is not exactly full-screen, and is seems to freeze every so often. What exactly are the advantages of using ARX over an iOS browser? Whoever picks up these questions, thank you very much! -zc- Quote

If yes, then does it recognize your PC where you have the Logitech Gaming Software installed? 2) I don't think there's a perfect iOS web browser that supports full-screen mode. Truth be told, we never tried to shop around for such a browser, so it's mostly feedbacks from AIDA64 customers. 3) The one major advantage of Arx over browsers is that it does support full-screen mode.

Fiery, Thank you for your time! Much appreciated! I installed the Arx Control app on my iPad from Apple's App Store, and yes, it communicates with the computer. I can see my games and PC Stats from within the Arx Control software, but that's about it. I will continue the search. I will let you know if I find one. Full-screen is exactly what I am after. Thanks again, and CHEERS! -zc- Quote

While AIDA64 says "init OK" ? Right. I can see Logitech's PC Stats and the games I have on my computer, but there is no AIDA Applet. And, BTW, AIDA says "Arx Init OK (DLL Version 9.02.65)". Task Manager shows the following Logitech processes running: LGHUB (2 instances) LGHUB Agent LGHUB Updater Logitech Gaming Framework Logitech Surround Sound Service -zc- Quote

In the Arx Control app (on the iPad) you need to swipe up on the bottom of the screen (where a tiny "up" arrow or upside-down "v" is shown) to get to the list of applets. In that list you should be able to find AIDA64. Quote

Currently I have both installed, and I can see processes labeled LGS and LGHUB running on the PC. When you did you test, which one did you use? -zc- Quote

Quite frankly, I never even tried G Hub. Quote

This Logitech "suite" of software is so incredibly poorly written, and I do not think it was QA'd at all. I managed to make it work once. Then it went away and decided not to come back. Which version of LGS did you use? -ZC- Quote
