Remote Control of S5 from Computer? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi all, already searched and found a few old threads but none with a working apk or zip. Anyone get Teamviewer remote working with the Galaxy S5, either with stock rom or running CM11? I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?
Regards,
F

I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.

Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.

Just search VNC server in play store and you should get a bunch of other ones to try.

Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!

Hmm, very strange. I use the one I mentioned on my tablet. but i connect my phone to the VNC server so i can pause videos when the tablet is plugged into the TV.
I wonder if something itsn't right in CM11? Have you tried it on a TouchWiz ROM?

Just use Samsung sync. You can control the phone over wifi or via therering. Works really well.

Samsung sync does work well, but it is not lightweight. Has anyone been able to get a VNC server working on the S5? I have tried a bunch of apps with no luck.

App Inventor?

Has anyone figured out how to get the droid eris to work with app inventor? From what I've heard everyone's having a lot of trouble with it. I'm on a mac, btw, and I've been mounting the phone as a disk drive with no success.
I just sent my request for an invite yesterday, so obviously have not heard back yet. I don't think there are many that have gotten theirs yet either... Just for fun, I did install the appinventor-extras and it did recognize my phone, so I hope that's a good start. Running Windows 7 32bit.
Do you have a Droid Eris as well? And yah, I think it has something to do with running it on a mac because it isn't compatible with HTC Sync which contains most of the drivers I need.
Have an Eris but do not have Sync set up. Already had adb installed so probably just used the the ones that were already added in.
When I get my invite I will get it to work with the Droid Eris. Btw, if you're on a mac, ubuntu works really well dual booted, if thats your thing.
Does anyone know the extent of apps that you can make with this thing? Like, how complicated are we going to be able to get? I'd love to make a mashup of my favorite home replacements...

Yah, it's surprisingly in depth actually. So far, I've noticed there's a function which can force a text, an "activity starter" (which allows you to open apps on the phone), and basic textbox and image components, to name a few.
just got my invite about an hour and a half ago and I still cant get my phone to connect to app inventor... I tried using the custom .inf and that didnt work. it wouldnt even recognize it. i am going to use the emulator for now.
if anyone finds a working driver please upload it.
I have a question to anyone who has access to app inventor. Does anyone else's phone reboot when loading an app onto it? Also in google chrome every time I open the blocks editor it makes me download a new jar file.
AcidRoot, It's normal to download the file everytime. And I don't have problems with my Eris rebooting, but mine doesn't work with AppInventor (I was invited).

[Q] WiFi Transfer?

Hello all,
I would like to have your suggestions regarding any app that is able to enable WiFi transfer between my Windows 7 PC and the phone.
I had an app on my old phone that was enabling WebDav access and it was allowing you to map a network drive on my computer so you can just open it and drop in whatever you wanted without cables. I don't recall the name of the app.
Any suggestions?
Kies air is the best for this. I'm attempting to find it on the phone, or Samsung Apps store right now.

If you mean KIES via wifi then its built in under the more settings menu on the phone settings. Thanks but this still needs the kies suite to be running and you cant even see thumbnails of the photos. I would like something better than that.
Remote Web Desktop. Been using the full version for a long time, can't fault it.

Apparently Kies Air is browser based on the PC so no need to install Kies Suite IIRC? its in the Google Play store but I haven't installed it yet.
Thanks all for your replies! You gave me nice ideas.
I was thinking something more like a WebDav Server app that was allowing you to create a network drive of the phone on "My Computer".
I did find a few with the best being this one but I still found it a bit slow.
Then I tried Kies Air a couple of days ago and I really liked the interface it has. I copied over a 750MB file using both Kies Air and WebDav Server and Kies Air was a couple of minutes faster on copying it to the device. It took around 3-4 minutes which is pretty cool.
Given the nicely done layout and the speed, I don't really care it's browser based and I'm going to use it.
It even allows you to create a shortcut on the desktop.
Thanks again all!
I'm glad that you were able to get it. I didn't know that it was in the Play Store. I have now downloaded it. I used to get it from the Samsung Apps on my GSII. Please press thanks since I recommended this app to you.
I use the app ES File Explorer which have WebDAV & FTP. Really good app. It can be also used in a rooted device.

Firewalling - Whats The Minimum Required Stuff To Allow

Hi guys. i installed a firewall on my phone, and i just wanted to ask as to what basic stuff i need to allow to use internet.
What i mean is that i have firefox on the phone, and if i block everything and only allow firefox, i cant browse internet. but if i turn off the firewall, i can browse normally.
So i was just wondering what else i need to allow to use firefox.
i hope you guys get what i am trying to ask here.
You could try opening ports 80 (default http) and 443 (default https), but isn't your question better directed to the maker of the firewall?
ok got it to work, instead of blacklisting, i did white listing, and it worked well.
advisable for anyone who wants security to give it a try
if you would firewall your pc, then why not your phone?

Which firewall application did you use? I tried Android Firewall, but it would crash all the time, and it would not store or display activity logs. I previously used Droidwall on my original Incredible running CM7 (Gingerbread) and it seemed to work very well with the white listing of applications.
I removed Android Firewall from the Dinc 4G today and have no idea if anything else out there will work on ICS or Jellybean

Mouse Toggle [ROOT] Nice!!

I first got this app for my FireTV and loved it. Developer now created an android tv version compatible with nexus player.
It allows you to use your stock remote as a mouse. Root is required on the nexus player.
No brainer for $0.99 as it eliminates the need for a separate bluetooth mouse or trackpad.
IMPORTANT FYI: The mouse function works WITHIN apps but not on the home screen!
Link and author's description:
Mouse Toggle [ROOT]
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.android.mousetoggleforandroidtv#hw-item-401
Add a mouse mode to the stock remote control or gamepad for Android TV.
NOTE: ROOT access is REQUIRED for this app to function.
Features:
Works just like a regular mouse that can click, long click, wheel up, wheel down, and drag.
Simple to toggle between regular remote and mouse modes.
Requirements:
1.) Android TV device(see below for supported devices).
2.) Stock / original remote control or game controller.
This actually work surprisingly well and includes an leanback icon, although I kind of wish we could hide things like this from the lean back launcher itself...

I agree with you on the leanback launcher icon. I know there needs to be a way to launch the app, but I hate scrolling through the list of apps when I know I won't be starting it up all the time.
Just tried the app. No go on Android TV 6.0. It kept on saying starting but sat there. Ended up asking for a refund. May try it again later when bugs are worked out.
Sounds cool but I will stick to my Logitech K400 Plus. I'm in and out of chrome on my nexus player anyways. However, this would have been helpful for me with HBO Go when it had to be sideloaded. Now it is available on the app store though so remote works great.

Which method did you use to root your Nexus Player? I have restored the device via the factory images(https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#fugu) and have used both methods(post #1 & #2) in the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
I flashed the factory images before each attempt to root and tried each method a couple of times. The app worked great during all 4 tests so hopefully we can discover what is different with your setup.
Thank you
Bought this for my fire tv and it was probably the most useful app ive ever bought for the price. On NP Im really just playing around trying to find a good use for the device. Right now im using android M rom (no leanback UI) and stock remote is useless. DOES this app work with the custom roms?

Still waiting... I finally broke down and forked over the cash for droidmote. Its a good app but doesnt replace a physical remote imho. You want to be able to just feel for the buttons when your watching tv. A phone or tablet isnt the same. Good rom. Itd be great if the remote worked.

Well I went ahead and did the same thing to only find out I cant even download it because it doesnt show up in the play store for me. But I am running a custom rom and that might be the issue. I've emailed the dev but still waiting on a reply.

Shouldn't be any conflict. The double tap of the play / pause button does have to be pretty quick(~400ms).
I would recommend opening the app and then toggling the enable switch off and then on to see if that helps. Did the SuperSU app prompt you for permission initially?

I did. And just took your advice and toggled on/off. Also rebooted just to see. But its working for you on 6.0? Thats strange. I just get normal remote functionality. Tried it in netflix where its needed but no cursor appears. I do have wifi keyboard attached. Would that cause issues? Doubt it since i quit droidmote and turn off keyboard. Ill keep trouble shooting but never had any issues with your app on aftv (also with wifi keyboard so yea thats not a factor)

Other devices won't cause any conflicts so you are ok there. Just to confirm a couple of items: The Nexus Player is rooted? Was the app granted root access and is it listed in the SuperSU app?
If you want to email me that may be easier.
Thanks again for your patience.

I just heard from another user that had the same issue. Apparently the Nexus Player remote was somehow displayed as 'Spike' instead of 'Nexus Remote' in the Bluetooth paired device settings. They were able to resolve the issue by un-pairing the remote and pairing it again which correctly identified the remote as 'Nexus Remote'.
Any chance your remote is also named 'Spike'?

Chrome Desktop as default mode?

Anyone know an easy way to make Chrome always open in desktop mode?
I did a search and it looks difficult to me. I use my tablet primarily for surfing the web and watching videos but I really prefer the Chrome desktop mode. If it can't be done I think this becomes a serious drawback for using the S7 Plus.
For Chrome their is no easy method, AFAIK, but the Samsung Internet app has an option to open websites in Desktop mode by default. May be worth a try.
I used this method. Working fine on my tab s7.

I appreciate the guidance but this is beyond me. I was hoping there was some kind of paid app I could install to get the setting correct. Maybe Google will wake up and put the option in Android 11.
