Hey there XDA Community,
I open this new question thread, because similar ones are not as specific and/ or posted in sub-forums for phones. However, Androidscreencast is a cross-phone program.
Androidscreencast is a java programm that allows you to connect to your Android phone through an USB connection. I think you need ADB and root access for this.
I am searching for something like this that also supports German charakters like umlaute (ä, ö, ü).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The app "My Phone Explorer" is said to be able to do this, although I didn't try it.
http://mymobiler.com/ also offers this Feature and works pretty well, after a few setting changes and restarts of the executable, also with umlauts.
However, I went back to Androidscreencast since it does not need an app and I realized it's convenient enough to use my phone for everything but typing with my finger and it's not so bad that I can't have umlauts.

Hi, there
I would like to use some program to remote my Desktop....
I try to use Remote VNC Pro....but it didn't work.....
Anyone can tell me what can I do??
Thanks so much!!
remote droid is a pretty cool app from the marketplace. it essentially turns the phone in to a laptop style track pad. If your looking for something a bit more indepth then have a look on the market place
there are a couple of VNC programs, but none of them are brilliant.
Gmote allows you to remote control the media player on your PC and stream music to the phone
VLCMote allows you to remote control VLC if you have it installed on your PC...
there may be others.
PhoneMyPC looks impressive ?
Has anyone found these apps to be successful besides Gmote? I have tried every VLC remote in the market, set-up the HTTP protocol, and none has worked yet. I tried reading the developer's instructions to start it with command line but it told me the command was invalid. Thought it might be my firewall, but even disabling it did nothing.
anyremote
Did anyone here try anyremote? Using anyremote2html it should be possible to control various applications on the PC using a web interface. Unfortunately it did not work for me yet since no browser on the android was able to show the webpage containing the controls. I always get a 404 error with them. I have no idea why this is so. I can get it to work with another PC controling my first PC via any web browser. Does anyone know why the android browsers are not able to show that simple webpage from anyremote?
vnc4android does work fine for me (on my pc i have a ultravnc server with standard settings)
where do I get vnc4android? I tried a few of those vnc clients in the market. But they have trouble with correctly showing the desktop.

androidvnc works fine for me, using tightvnc on my pc. just change the port on androidvnc to 5900, altho lack of software keyboard is abit of a bummer.
The new version of GMote is excellent for the Hero. It allows you to use the Hero's screen as a touchpad and now also let's you bring up the keyboard to type stuff on the PC. It is very responsive and highly usable. I have a media centre PC and this means I have full control to complement the remote.
Hi I recently read that I can use adb wireless to connect my phone to my pc, this said, I accomplished it, fine.
Problem is, how and where do I Tx and Rx files from pc to sgs2 and vice-versa, OR from what I can gather (using the dos prompt) can this 'only' be done via the dos prompt.
Apart from development whatelse can be done with adb, (the only reason I was interested in adb was for the app adb wireless tauted as a file transferring app via wifi; I had expected maybe a splash screen or something, but I realise I've fallen into a user developement app.
Also can anyone recommend a good file share app, I now have the full websharing app, yet I had hoped it would be more than what it is, given I have to ctrl+alt and highlight all I want to tx<>rx; I would prefer drag-drop, or an ability to highlght with mouse action.
Any light on the above would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I noticed my razr seems a bit picky about what can be sent or received via bluetooth:
i wanted to send a .apk to a friend of mine but the transfer via screen did not show bluetooth
as an option and when my friend tried to send me a .bin file but my phone didn't even asked to
accept, his just showed an abort. i also tried sending with another explorer, but it just called the
same transfer-options window. he then tried to send a photo which worked just fine.
I noticed similar behaviour in webtop, don't quite remember the filetype, but the explorer just declined with "unknown filetype".
Is there an easy workaround for this behaviour? i am already rooted, so playing with configs wouldn't
be a problem, don't really like installing all kinds off aps for small tasks.
Then there's webtop.( i am using it with a 8€ hdmi cable of amazon nebtop and the logitech ps3
bluetooth keyboard with touchpad just fyi)
firefox does not seem to have a flash 10 plugin, which means that i can open some flash-based content on the
phone-browser but not in webtop! is there a way around that?
Also, i don't really get the goggledocs login feature, as it just seems to be downloading my docs but then
still opens them in firefox, which quite frankly is too slow.
Seeing the various webtop-hacks on this board i get the urge to try them but i am expecting the effort
to go wasted once an OTA comes around. (?)
regarding OTA, i am in germany on an unbranded razr and have not yet received the first one. as i said,
i am rooted and have course frozen some bloatware. while i have read this prevents me from installing an update,
would i still be notified?
well back to the possibilities the hdmi port gives us: when using my bt keyboard in mirror mode , android functions are scattered all over the board,
[home] does home, [esc] does back and the menu button for blueray works as the menu button, i have not yet found a search button,
it just starts searching when i start typing.
while this is pretty logical, i could use [home] for its traditional purpose now and then. where would i have to fiddle around to rebind keys?
does every keyboard send the same buttonpresscodes or would i have to find those first (probably via some kind of shell?)
i think those are all my questions for now, some insight would really be apreciated.
best regards
hey doenis,
did you ever tried to rename the files? some files seemed to be not "sendable" in old OS's like Symbian S60v5. Maybe it'S still in Android?
And the WebTop... Tried another browser? Not sure, but maybe Opera will support? i've never tried this, but maybe that's the way?
The keyboard... It's out of my knowledge, but would it be logical that every keyboard is sending another keydown argument for the same key? sound not logical for me... maybe there'S some config file? but i would be careful by changing keyboard settings in configuration files...
greeting,
Sh4itan

the root fileexplorer as part of the rom-toolbox by jrummy16 calls a send-to window including all options
on unknown filetypes, where the stock explorer would say ~"action can not be carried out by any programm"
(when pressing share) so that's working now.
using an other browser: thats kind of the problem, the way i get it webtop is pretty closed down, that's
why i'm thinking about applying one of the hacks around here.
gruesse zurueck
ok today root explorer does not offer bluetooth transfer for any filetype and i noticed
that even the gmail client won't offer downloading several filetypes, in this
case .zip and .gz, which my milestone would accept without any problems.
i need some help here people.
You may have flash problems in webtop regardless of hack status or which browser you use. Flash is not open source. Adobe would need to compile flash 10 for ARM processors for a plugin to work. I do not believe that they have and (since they are abandoning mobile devices) I don't believe they will.
Any software that you would want to run on a hacked webtop environment would need to be compiled for ARM. With open source stuff, you can always compile it yourself. With closed source stuff you are at the mercy of the software's developers and unlikely to find much that will work.
Using the Ubuntu hack should make other opensource office suites available to you, but the likelihood of them being a simple point and click install is low.
I have not noticed any problems with the Firefox browser on my lapdock. I am able to view all flash content just fine. Don't really know what the problem might be there.

theres some flash-content running, probably most of it, so i guess the important things i tried use flash 11, too bad
so did anybody else notice the ignorance regarding several filetypes?
the other issues are probably solvable with some research, but any input
will still be appreciated.
Hello. Today I a friend of mine gave me his Dexim Click Stik since he didn't need it anymore. It's a simple bluetooth clicker for taking pictures with iOS or Android phones.
I don't take many pictures with my phone, much less ones that need me in them. I was hoping I could use the clicker as a remote activator for some shortcut or app.
I've been googling and searching around for hours without much luck. The only thing I've been able to do so far is find an app that lets me open an app upon the Click Stik connecting to my phone, but not when I specifically press the button on the device itself. Not very practical, in my opinion.
I found a tutorial I thought was helpful in somewhat understanding what I might need to do in order to get the functionality I'm looking for here: http://chris.boyle.name/2010/08/android-keymaps. However, the KeyTest.apk he links to in order to obtain the KeyEvent from the bluetooth device does not display any input events when I hit the button on the clicker.
I also haven't been able to find any similar apps to what KeyTest seems to say it does.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
Edit #1: I was able to install the KeyTest.apk via ADB by "adb install KeyTest.apk". Not sure why it worked this way when it wouldn't install normally. That said, now that I have the program open, pressing the button on the bluetooth clicker doesn't result in the KeyTest program telling me anything. Kind of disappointed. Not sure where to go from here.
