This is a work in progress. I fixed the code at http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc/ . It has limited value right now, but someone may have a use for it.
It listens on standard port 5900. I copy the fbvncserver app to /data/local/bin/ using adb:
Code:
adb push fbvncserver /data/local/bin/
From adb shell (with wifi on) run the commands:
Code:
# chmod +x /data/local/bin/fbvncserver
# fbvncserver
From your desktop computer, use any Vnc client to connect to your phone using its wifi ip address.
To do: Compile and test the keyboard driver. Add code to enable using a mouse to control the session, as theres no code for that yet.
Download fbvncserver
Nice, if only it had input
Nice, I got it working. Used my 1024x768 laptop, made me further appreciate the resolution of this device.

Well, right now at least (unless I'm doing it wrong), neither -- you can watch your phone with your PC. A just because kind of thing.
Get this thing running, fire up a vnc client on your machine, get cam studio humming and there's your video screen capture.
does it display the correct colours now?
i tried fixing it back then, even compiled the keyboard driver to the kernel. but i can't seem to register any input. i hope you succeed. i would love a vnc on my phone!

Thanks! I've been looking for a VNC server for Android since I dual booted on my HTC Touch (sprint). Running Nexus now.
I am hoping to integrate this with a resistive touchscreen in my car.
This will be useful.
Any update on getting touch to work. i have a sprint htc hero and am looking at trying to get touch working.
Search "droid VNC server" on market. It is a fork with mouse and keyboard input, open-source.
@rotohammer you are welcome to modify the app and contribute with changes.

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...
Bluetooth ...burp

Mymobiler is a great app to access windows phone with computer, you can do all kinds of stuff there including download weather info by wifi from computer instead of GPRS.

I know that, but I don't want full control over the device, just being able to text...
If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?
I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.
Bump......
Try some remote contrl app so you can use any function of your phone on your computer...
But I'm not sure whether there is any working with wireless connection.

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.
dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.
Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.
I use phonemypc to log into my windows pc but does anyone know of one that will work with ubuntu? Most are just compatible with windows, some with mac. I guess the only way is to set up a vnc server on my ubuntu computer?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well, you really don't have to "set up" a VNC server in Ubuntu because Ubuntu's remote desktop application is actually VNC, not RDP. Just enable remote desktop in the system settings, set up the appropriate port forward rules on your router and you should be good to go.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Thanks I'll try that, I was hoping for an app that had a nice ui and possibly even sound. I use a vnc app to connect to a linux box I have anyways but its real laggy.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
What do you use? I use Remote VNC Pro and it's the best I've use. Allows for pinch to zoom and panning which makes it really easy to navigate a desktop. Speed will depend more on your phone data connection speed and your home internet's upload speed.
I use android vnc, it works ok and only in landscape. So I guess I would just configure it to connect to my home ip address.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
well i tried to set up remote desktop and i'm getting your desktop is not reachable....only on local network. i know this means that i need to forward ports on my router which i did, ports 5900-5999 which i believe should cover all vnc ports. however canyouseeme.com's open port check tool is saying they are closed, so i think my isp is blocking vnc ports or something. any ideas?

thanks to this thread http://blackmarketserver.com/blog/2010/10/17/get-remote-desktop-working-in-ubuntu-10-10 it looks like i solved this problem of not being reachable.
So I've searched for a bit and couldn't seem to find anything so I wanted to pose the question to the forum..
I'm basically looking for an application that I can use as a remote desktop share. Meaning I want to keep the desktop on my home computer active while viewing it and controling it from my phone.
The basic reasoning for this is to use Carputer front end SW to control a Home Theater PC. Carputer front end sw such as centrafuse is a touch interface and being able to use an android tablet or my thunderbolt to control the interface would be great.
What does everyone think? Do you know of an app? Have you been interested in this as well?

Thought VNC only allowed for PC control not sharing of the desktop. I'm checking on that idea right now.

You are absolutely correct. VNC would do exactly what i'm looking for. Thanks for the input.
"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why

'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Yes, you may change the port used through settings menu, but restriction to use ports below 1024 is keeped. As stated before, please report your crashes with as much information as possible.

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...
