I need help. I am trying to connect to a remote desktop using MSTSC. I've heard it's easy, but it doesn't work for me. Does anyone have any detailed instructions on how to do this, please share would be grateful!
Yes, it's really not hard. MSTSC command lines are used within the Windows command line. For a better understanding I can advise you to this article: https://www.helpwire.app/blog/rdp-command-line-options/ which explains it all in detail, with screenshots and in an easy to understand way.
Why don't you just use quick assist?

Anyone accomplished this?
If so, elaborate.
Thanks,
Its possible to do it with adb and the command line. Are you familar with using one?
Im very familiar with my mac. I've only used terminal twice to run some java code I wrote.

i think he meant ADB and the command line
Ok, so the extent of my knowledge, as it pertains to ADB and terminal, is limited. I can search my mac for files using terminal. Thats it..
I too would appreciate someone to break it down for a n00b such as myself. I don't have a copy of windows so if there is a way without bootcamp that would be awesome!
I've ported DG's aRoot script to a mac form, but I've never done anything like this before so at the moment I'm waiting him to respond to a PM asking permission to post it.
I thought I remembered him saying somewhere that he gave public permission to use the script, but I've been unable to find it. If anyone can find me this link, I'll post it, otherwise I will as soon as I get DG's blessing (assuming he gives it).
Would you be able to use VMware Fusion for something like this - with windows installed? I was about to try that until I read this thread. May have dodged a bullet there. I've been reading this forum for weeks, very informative. Learnin' a bunch.
Cheers.
New to Android and HTC Thunderbolt. I read all threads in the Development Section regarding rooting to s-off, etc. so I can get rid of bloatware and utilize cool mods the experts have created. I read the tutorial on the Dev site and the entire thread. While experienced rooters may understand all the steps, I would appreciate the following. If someone from the Dev forum has the time and patience, could they expand on the instructions for rooting geared to someone who has never done this before but can follow directions perfecly if they are fully explained and do not take for granted all will fully understand what they assume everyone already knows. e.g. "pushing files using commands as stated." Is that from command prompt? Using ADB? Etc. I am coming from Blackberry Storm which I loaded/flashed with many leaked OS's and wish to gain similar proficiency with Android phones. In advance, thanks to the people in the Dev group working hard to achieve what they have. If someone could now break it down into a "Rooting for Dummies" it would be appreciated by me and many others. I know the risks but am condident if the procedure is fully explained I can follow and achieve root and enjoy the Android experience as it was meant to be by the developers. Thanks.
Firstly yes adb commands are run from the command line. But well the rooting instructions are very simply explained in context to the tools used/steps that need to be taken. Seemingly your trouble is you need background information in using commandline, adb, etc?
I mean do you have any other specific questions aside from the fact that adb is used from the command line? Oh, and you push files via an adb command. Think it was adb push <filename>? I tend to look it up when I need to use it or check the documentation.
Thanks for the quick response. I will go over the tutorial again tonight and ask the specific questions I need clarification on.
No problem. And a good idea to be sure you don't have any questions about what you are doing if you want root w/ out the 1-click mechansim; however, if you can get the handle of what your doing for the current root mechansim you'll feel more comfortable once you've rooted the phone, especially if you need to fix something or manually flash something later on.
Can someone please list the correct steps line by line for us peeps with Mac computers. Maybe a stickie? Please. P.S. sorry if this was already posted somewhere but I could not find one relating to the MoPho.
Are you stuck anywhere in particular? Do you know how to use ADB? The only difference between windows and OSX when executing adb commands is needing to add ./ before adb
Ive used ADB back in the day to root the HTC Hero and knew there was that extra command to put but couldnt remember what it was. What u put ./ was what I forgot.
I rooted my photon from my mac and didn't need to use any special commands. I found a post online that explained how to create a hidden profile with a text document to the location of ADB on my comp and now when i go to terminal i don't need to CD to anything i just type adb and the command and it works like a charm i just copy pasted the commands from here into terminal.

you should start a mac thread or request a mac section.
Hi there,
I have an (hopefully easy) problem which I am searching the answer for hours now.
I want to use my android device (4G Systems One Tab) to remotely execute a batch file on my PC via WIFI-Connection.
That's it.
I want to have an Icon on my homescreen and when its clicked the batch-file on the desktop computer is executed. (no feedback or output needed, this is all done by the batch)
I would be grateful if anyone could provide me with a solution or even an idea to find the way.
Thanks

I don't have much experience in bash script but I do know that a software by the name of Script Manager is available in the market and might just help you achieve your goal.
Now with Script Manager you can execute a script you created and place it on a shortcut on the desktop of your phone. The bash script would do any type of calls it needs to do to the PC. As long as your firewalls are well configured and you have port forwarding on the router (if needed) or your on the same wifi network you should be able to do as you need with the tool.
Now also remember, you might want to consider rooting your phone so you can have busybox installed and have a good amount of commands available to you.
Thank you, that was of help. Problem solved.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but this is my problem exactly as well. I want to run a script to execute a .bat file from my computer.
Could you please go into more detail about HOW you configured "Script Manager"?
Possibly share your script so I can change it to fit my information.
Anyone? Please help.
Thanks.

Hey all,
This is my first post here because I have been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work on my own, and I hope you all can help.
What I am trying to do is get either nest-api in PHP or pynest in python to run out of SL4A in order to control my Nest thermostat ultimately out of Tasker. Both are found on github, but I can't link to them as I apparently need ten posts to do so. So a google search for "nest-api github" and "pynest github" will have to do I suppose.
I have absolutely no issues getting either to run out of Terminal on my MacBook Air, but for whatever reading the SL4A shell seems to escape my understanding. I would rather have the PHP script work, as it has more options for things I can set, which I like. The problem is I have no idea where to put the nest.class.php on my phone in order for the PHP shell to reference it when running the example.php or any script I write myself. When I put both files in the sdcard/sl4a/scripts folder and try to run either from within either sl4a or sl4a's shell I get a call to undefined function error.
For the python script, I'm not sure how I need to import the module so that I can call it with nest.py at the beginning of my command line prompt and follow it up with the user name and password and so on. I've done everything including trying to create an .egg file, which I've since been told is not necessary, and that I simply have to put it in the /sl4a/scripts folder. That doesn't make sense to me though, as I needed to run the setup.py command on my computer in order to start using it, and the .egg file should be the equivalent of that on the phone, no?
So what I am looking for is the foolproof way to get either a php or python script running through the shell that isn't actually hooking into the Android environment at all, which is what all the writeups I have found in my searching seems to pertain to. Then eventually make sure that they are available in a way that Tasker can call them. I should also note that all this has been done in an emulator through eclipse until this point, as I didn't want to go screwing around with my brand new Nexus 4's file structure until I had the best practice perfected.
Do you helpful folk have any guidance, tips, or insight on how I can get that done? Of course I can provide any other information you might need.
Thanks in advance.
Nest Api on Android using SL4A
I spend hours yesterday trying to do this. Did you ever get some help or figured it out on your own?
I have no idea how to make it work with SL4A I have done this succesfully on my computer.
Hope you can help me.

I read on ifttt that they are planning on integrating nest options there. SO that is an easier solution I hope happens soon. They said this fall (already gone) or winter they hope to add functionality to for Nest. <fingers crossed>
