The ddms tool in the Android SDK will get screen captures over USB Debug of course.

Anything remotely?

I don't think it's possible without root because you need to take snapshots of your phone and taking snapshots needs root. (unless you use ddms)

Zeam launcher can take screenshots of your home screen (not tested by me). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
But I think you are talking about live watching your mobile screen on PC, aren't you?

Most of these live view server take pictures of your screen and send it over the internet. There is also the issue with port forwarding. The only service that has pulled off remote screen viewing server without port forwarding has been teamviewer.

Teamviewer exists for Android? I'm fine with the picture taking...

This is fairly new to the forum if you haven't seen it.. but it does require root.

Does not have to be over USB. ADB can connect via TCP.
Code:
- disconnect device from usb then tell it to listen on 4455
adb tcpip 4455
restarting in TCP mode port: 4455
- connect to the device using a specified ip:port. my device is using wifi
adb connect 192.168.1.103:4455
connected to 192.168.1.103:4455
- now do normal adb commands over tcp
adb shell
- when your done, you can put it back in USB mode
adb usb
restarting in USB mode
You can also set an environment variable called ADBHOST with the IP address and adb will attempt to connect to that ip.
Now I am not sure if DDMS can connect to the device over tcpip, but if adb can, and ddms uses adb to connect, it should be possible.

BUMP. Any success here?

Its been a while, was wondering if there have been any solutions to this.

Android ScreenControl without root
Have a look at this ... Its something I have been working on ...

Hope that helps !
Cheers,

I found this and thought it will be helpful as I ended up on this thread during my search.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
Follow this link: it has everything.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
So far only PC is supported I think.
The app also gives you the ability to use your PC keyboard remotely over wifi, it also has shortcuts for home, menu, back, etc.
The one thing that you might need to figure out is the display option in the mobile app settings.
I chose to keep it #3 - others ... that's the only way I can see the screen on my razr maxx!!
Also, if you are having weird screen problems, the website has the FAQ section and other pages to tweak the settings so that it works fine!!
Now it is a bit slow ... but none the less very useful ... I use it to change music while my phone's connected to speakers and chatting with people on Viber/WeChat/WhatsApp ... comes in pretty handy!!
Hope this helps!! cheers!!

[Q] Best App to display PC on Android and TV simultaneously (Not remote desktop)

I often use my HTPC w/ my boxee app, however, the problem is my PC requires a login because I also like to remote desktop in. I'd like to be lazy and log in from the couch w/o getting up and logging in on the keyboard
Is there an app that logs into the pc from the login screen? I'd like to login from my android device but also able to see the screen on the TV. This would also be useful if ppl are watchin a movie and I have to sit on the can for a few mins, I can watch it on my nook color

any help plz?

I thing I got wat u are saying not sure, install teamviewer both on computer and phone. Put in the access code and there u can see ur pc on ur phone
Sent from my Droid

Ok, seems like it'll work, but my major issue is the following:
1) I press power button on PC
2) I sit on couch wait for PC to boot up
3) I need to type in my password
so.....
Is there a way to have VNC run/start up from the beginning at the login screen? Otherwise, I have to log in to PC (via keyboard) and then the VNC app will work, correct?
Essentially - I'm trying to avoid using the keyboard but would still like to keep my PC password protected.

phonemypc i use it everyday install both on phone and pc do the little set-up and set to run on start-up and disable the notification so its doesnt pop-up every time you use it on the pc, and you should be good to go

Quicksshd

How do I use it? I have no way to transfer files through my cable so ssh is my only option. Anyone care to post me some directions on how to connect my computer to my android?
Thanks in advance

More specifically, how do I connect to my android using quicksshd and WinSCP?

Anyone? plz help

Start QuickSSHd and select "password" then put in a password into the box. Make sure "shared keys" is not selected, then tap the "off/on" button in the top right to "on." Everything should look like the image below.
I've never used WinSCP but there should be a place to put in the IP address, port and password, and a button to connect. Use the IP address that is shown in QuickSSHd, port 22 and the password you used, then connect. Once connected, you'll probably want to go to /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard then copy files to and from the phone.
Again, I've never used WinSCP so I don't know if the last part is 100% accurate, but that's usually how these things work.

WinSCP works great
Yes, WinSCP will work just fine. I use it all the time. Just specify root as the username and then whatever password you selected.
You can also use Putty for a nice terminal window..

Love having this... server side rcp and rsync also work. I'm using it to backup my EVO from a Linux computer.. am running the script from the Linux side.
Is there a way to setup in the quickssh data directory a trusted server so that you don't have to enter password? I would think it could be done somewhere here...
/data/data/com.teslacoilsw.quicksshd
here is the script that runs on linux computer side. it will backup the sdcard and /data/data, which contains game saves, etc.
will do an incremental with each run, so very quick do backup after first time.
#-------------------------------
echo "Android IP address: \c"
read IP
mkdir -p /home/userid/backups
rsync -utrv --progress $IP:/mnt/sdcard /home/userid/backups/
rsync -utrv --progress $IP:/data/data /home/userid/backups/

ok, i have set a password, enabled quicksshd, plugged in my usb cable to the phone.... i cant even ping the ip or worst still, to connect in.... what am i doing wrong here

You don't connect via USB. SSH is a TCP protocol. You need to connect from a computer/device that is also connected to the same network that the phone's WiFi is connected to.

[HOW-TO] Remote control your phone from Windows

Easiest way I've found to do this is by using a program called MyMobiler http://www.mymobiler.com
This was tested on ViperS 1.1.0 ROM and works like a charm.
1) Enable USB debugging on phone and connect USB.
2) Install and start MyMobiler on your pc.
3) In your systray on pc: right click the MyMobiler icon and select Connect. This will install MyMobiler on your phone.
4) Start MyMobiler on your phone. Enter settings as below.
5) Repeat step 3 and you should now be able to see and control your phone from your pc!
Settings are as follows (on phone)...
All display related settings on auto.
Display resolution: High
Change touch: Service-Touch
Change touch method: Ginger
Change touch origin: Default
Also, enable the MyMobiler keyboard from within settings if you want to use your keyboard to type!
Hope this is useful for someone!

Can't get it to work.
The Windows part and the Android parts both install on their respective devices but they don't communicate.
ADB recognizes the phone, but this program does not.

i ever tried remote windows from phone, but never from windows to phone
if you want to remote windows from phone, just use team viewer, and it will works like a charm

That's strange. Maybe it has something to do with USB device drivers in Windows?

Cool, I might try it

That's very weird. usually if adb recognizes the phone (which means USB driver is installed correctly), then program based on adb will work. Do you see something like the attached image under device manager?

I have tried it and both are connecting well.
However i am only able to use it for typing and not for selecting icons on my handset.

ok, just another option, you can try our new app, vmlite vnc server, it will surely work, you have full control of the phone, wifi or USB, rooted or unrooted devices.

so far, users like it

Airdroid app is not bad either.
You can use a standard browser to control your phone.

samsung smart swith for ubuntu?

hello, i am usning ubuntu. is there any desktop software for managing my tablet, like samsung smart switch on windows for ubuntu?

Scrcpy, adb, vnc

There are a lot of choices to choose from if you want to manage your tablet with Ubuntu. However, there are different methods for different programs and you get different functions out of each. I'll compile a quick list for you, but without a little more specificity, I don't know what you mean by "manage".
1) VirtualBox - You can always use VirtualBox to run Windows and use that to install Samsung Kies/Smart Manager/etc.
apt install virtualbox
2) ADB - (USB Debugging must be enabled). Android Debug Bridge is a command-line based program to control different things on your device. To start, go to Settings - About Phone. Depending on your version of android it could be in "Software" or something along those lines but find "Build Number" and tap on it until it says "Developer Settings enabled". Afterward, go back to Settings and find the Developer menu. Turn it on first (there should be a box/slider/something on the top or in the menu) and go to USB Debugging. If it is grey'ed out and you can not turn it on, try turning off and on the developer settings. Once USB Debugging is enabled plug your device into the computer. The phone will ask a question about trusting the computer, press yes. Now, launch a terminal and type "adb devices". As long as only one device is plugged into your computer, and as long as the device is listed as "device" and not "offline" "unauthorized" or something like that, you can issue it commands! For more info on ADB, just google adb commands. "adb shell" gives you direct access to the /bin/sh shell in android. From there you can run commands directly through your tablet. Last note on this: 'adb tcpip 5555' restarts the adbd program on the tablet to listen for connections over the LAN/WAN/whatever it is connected to. To connect from the computer, type "adb connect <ip>" where <ip> is the tablet's IP address.
apt install android-tools-adb
3) scrcpy: Scrcpy is a program, written in java, that will use adb to display the screen of your android device in Ubuntu/anything that runs java. You can also click/type through it, allowing you to control it remotely. A word of warning: I don't know why, but my first few times trying to install this program were a major fail. I eventually got it, and it works pretty good, but it wasn't easy.
google: scrcpy (it's a github link)
4) VNC: You can install something like a VNC (Virtual Network Client) server or RDP (Remote Desktop Procedure) server on the tablet, and connect to it with tight/tiger vnc. Note: Device may have to be rooted for this, and, from my experience, most VNC servers wont work right. However, this has worked for my Samsung tablet in the past (the screen it broken on it but the digi is okay. I cant use scrcpy because scrcpy requires Lollipop I think and it has Kit Kat). I think the app "DroidVNC Server" was what I used.
5) Check Play Store for "android remote manager"
6) nuntius/kali-rolling 0.2.0-5+b1 amd64
share notifications from Android phone or tablet via Bluetooth or LAN
NOTE: I didn't like this program, but feel free to give it a shot!
Hope this helps!
