This is genuinely cool, but so is KDE Connect, which works on any stock, unrooted Android device and has 80% of the functionality that Cyanogen's app does. KDE Connect will share documents and web pages almost exactly like you demonstrated in the video, and it can also do a lot of things that the app from Nextbit can't do, such as mouse control, media playback control, reporting battery percentage to your PC, and sending/receiving SMS messages. Yes, all of that, without root or a custom ROM. You do have to be using KDE, though.
This is impressive
I am looking forward to checking this out. I wonder when it will hook up to pc's as well.ÂÂÂ
very nice!!!
I don't understand why people are saying that this is basically like Apple/Google sync. You don't need internet for this people!! How is this anything like Apple/Google! Also, this works for any app whereas Apple works for just apple apps and same for Google as well.
So basically Androids answer to continuityÂÂÂ
So this means both device need CyanogenMod ROM right? Hopefully yall can package it into an app on the Play Store to help it go mainstream and work on all Android devices.
Sweet! Finally an app I really want! 😀
Android authority ? Using a mac ? Lol
This is amazing stuff..!!
Sorry to say it, but often your reviews are next to worthless. You review a great app (for example) and then don't
provide download links! What's up with that?
wow looks super cool
This looks absolutely amazing! You wouldn't believe how much backup/pushbullet/OTG magic i have to use on a daily basis to emulate this system!
Next stop teseract project
Is better the speech in this video
That mouse at 0:30. I just wondered why I couldn't move it on my MacBook Pro 😮
How do we get it now? I'm running nightlies on both devices…
What's the connection between the two devices that makes it sync? Is it wifi?
Would be cool if cyanogen made a program for pc too so you could sync things there too, but as I understand, that wouldn't be easy. Awesome feature though!
cam you also share from andriod phone to ipad?
