View and control phone screen using PC via USB cable - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey guys,
I used to stream my iphone screen to my PC and was able to control it using keyboard and mouse. Is there a similar way to do this with the skyrocket? It makes it convenient here at work. Thanks!

Try this. It is what I used when my screen was broke. Make sure you have adb running, else it will not launch. Another thing is it is not working anymore on my particular ICS Rom. Should work fine on any GB rom, though. Hope this helps!
Here is the link to the google code page for this project. I take NO credit for this helpful app whatsoever. Devs and further info can be found here- http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Note- It is a bit slower than your probably use to, but it is the only app I could find for our device.

^^ Thanks. Testing it now.

Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, should fulfill your needs, it does exactly what you need, to control android phones or devices from a PC, so you can use the external keyboard/mouse, etc. We app has fast responses, and works on rooted or non-rooted devices.

so far our users like it. You can simply click a button to do USB connection:

i use a program called MyPhoneExplorer and the corresponding Android app is in the store.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and I also have a busted screen. I am trying to just pull my pictures off of it before my replacement arrives. I downloaded the SDK package you linked to but lack the knowledge to just get it to link to my phone via USB. To complicate matters I had it pattern locked but since I can't get the screen to work at all I can't unlock the phone. If I could my computer sees the phone as a portable device but won't show me any of it's files. Any pointers would be helpful.

Hmm
Well, I have a HDMI IN port in my rig . And with a MHL adapter, works perfectly fine on Windows 8.

I use an MHL adapter as well but will matter if the screen isn't functional? As far as I'm aware you still have to direct it via the touch screen....

yea..my bad..didn't read the question properly..

I agree, if not their is a definite developing market for someone, i suppose the device drivers would probably be the limiting factor on developing something like this, between that and the fact there is quite a few operating systems around depending on your phone
Yeah it needs to be able to use the usb as a host which I understand my device can.

[Q] anyone try to port sony tab s remote controll

Noob with a 6210. Peel sucks and I do want to use the ir to control stuff. Is it possible to get the the apk for Sony s tab remote and try to get it to work on this tab plus?
I searched and found not much but since the Sony finally has root I thought it might be a way to get this done.

U might want to wonder into one of their forums and ask one of the users if they would do you the favor of pulling that specific apk from their tab and have them upload it for u.

Why would u not just use peel? I've got at least 5 TV'S @lone nit to mention all of my other players. It is sometimes a pain but works. Maybe the Sony one is that much better?
Sent from my GT-P6210 using XDA
On the face of it, the sony IR app is much better than peel, it supports sky uk satellite boxes and windows mediacentres, which I'm pretty sure peel doesn't, so I for one would love this app on my tab. I think I'll head over to the sony tab forum.

Peel sucks. Here's why:
1) Add an HDTV alone. So far so good as I can change inputs, channels, and volume on the TV.
2) Go to add a reciever. The self test powers the reciever on and switches inputs but when complete it will NOT save it to the room profile.
3) Start over andthis time tell Peel I use a reciever to adjust my volume. I select my TV and then it takes me straight to setting up the audio portion of the reciever. This saves both to my room profile but completely skips over the portion of setting my TV's inputs to make sure it's right for watching television. Kind of stupid that I have to use my TV remote to switch inputs on the TV now when Peel can/should be doing that for me.
4) Contact Peel and listen to them tell you that it's all the fault of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 + drivers and when ICS is released, with the updated driver, it might be fixed.
I've tried with a number of reciever & television brand combos to the extent of what I have in the house (3 TV's LG, JVC, Samsung and 2 AV Recievers Onkyo, Sony) and it does exactly the same with any combination of them.
Yup with the Sony u can control different equipment by choosing it from the main menu. With peel u can't
Thanks to the Sony guys for giving us the software packages now to start trying to get it to work and thanks to Paul for going over and asking for it

i have tried to get this to install but it wont so im gonna rename it and try to install it from the mnt asec folder. thats where most of my propriatary stuff gets installed on my HTC but i am new to the samsung game
also we may want to take this over to the DEV section and see if anyone in there can work some magic on it?
It would be wonderful if you can get this to work. All of my TVs are Windows Media center based.
ok I tried to install with es explorer. Took it over to the system/app . Then fixed permissions and still no luck. Went to the store and put esfile on a demo Sony and found a bunch of bin files in system/bin don't know if I needed them but pulled em with Bluetooth anyway. Will try to mess with it some more tomorrow.
Btw, Sony s is on ICS and its smooth even with the slower CPU.
Hear that Samsung? Get us some 4.0 and a decent remote app!!!!!!!!
Look in Play App store for Touchsquid app. It now works with the Tab 7 plus and Tab 2. The demo version works with both even though it wasn't very clearly stated that it works with the 7 plus. It definitely does work with the t 7 plus and is very promising. There are two paid version with different capabilities.

Brighthouse app for Mini-pc

This will work on any device, but i made this for my Mini-PC.
Basically it's the Brighthouse app (BHTV) to watch Cable.
Mods
====
* Root check removed
* HDMI check removed
* Livetv_layout.xml changed the list_channel layout from 330 to 480dp (wider mini-guide)
* miniguide_row.xml changed to be bigger everywhere. Fonts increased, icons tripled in size. Result is about 3 times bigger guide. Nice size rows that you can see from your couch.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Sorry, but I can't understand use of this app for everybody.
How can I use this app? I have got MK808 and I'm from India.

you need brighthouse cable. By everybody, i probably should have said, every device, but you still need brighthouse. The thing is that the software is very limited for even Bright-house users, so i've unblocked it.
Trying this out, but got this message
On Epic 4G Touch over data. Will try on home WiFi in the evening...
The official app works, for the most part on my TF300T after I disable Debugging, doesn't seem to care about root anymore (the older version would not even load, complaining about root).

Nexus 5 USB OTG

Hi guys, I will buy new smartphone, Stuck Between Xperia ZL and Google Nexus 5
Anyway, LG tells that Nexus 5 Have USB OTG, and if you Googled: Nexus 5 USB OTG, you will get apps to run USB OTG On Nexus 5
What does that mean?
should i have an App to use OTG? doesn't it work out of the box? i'm won't root
I Might Use Joysticks, Mouse, Keyboard, Ext HDD,etc. so i want everything to be supported
I've also heared about Nexus 5 Unmount Devices Due to High Power Usage even if the usage is low?
No you can use usb otg out of the box with nexus media importer its an paid app or root it to get full functionality.
Since u don't wannt to root better go with xperia zl.
Xperia zl supports it out of the box, u won't need any app on it
Now its your call.

I Can always get APK's For Paid apps for free, we all know this :laugh:
That's OK But what About Other things like joysticks, mouse, keyboard, etc. Will They Work too? i thought the app was only for Flash Drives!?
Plus, Beside the OTG Thing, Which one do you advice me, I'm not a ROM Developer or those who Install Other ROM's, But i might Use some emulation things or try to Install WinXP as an Example
i Also Might root To use Terminal for Specific Purposes... "Might"...
If you don't want to buy the app I recommend use total commander + USB plugin its free one

I have also tried a wireless mouse and keyboard which work fine.
Game controllers are touch and go.
Ones that use the standard hid drivers should be fine but anything else (Xbox controllers etc...) Will not work as they need modules that haven't been built for the n5 yet.
External storage requires 3rd party apps to Mount

Just root/unlock your phone. You get a Nexus phone and you don't play with it? surely you will eventually. And then , you can do anything to you phone

Question Problems with Android File Transfer

Hi, I have a Mac and a new Pixel 7 Pro, but have been having problems getting the Mac to access the phone as a USB device via Android File Transfer. I started using Google Drive to transfer music but everything just lands in the Downloads folder. Then I found that the cable you use makes a BIG difference. Suprisingly I have been results using a Kindle cable with an Adapter! Anyone have similar experience or better suggestions for File transfer? Photos I can do Via Google Photos & documents/Ebooks via G. Drive, it's the music files that are troublesome...
Cheers, Greg.
I've read that Mac users were having success using USB hubs. If you have one around might want to try.

On your Mac, download Macdroid. Works every time now even with a type-C to type-C cable.
Also if you plan on using Android Flash Tool or Pixel Flasher, you will still need a hub for a type-C to USB-A cable.
MacDroid, have not heard of that one, will check it out, thanks...

OpenMTP ( https://github.com/ganeshrvel/openmtp ) and MacDroid is the best option
I still lean towards OpenMTP because it's free. Donated to the dev already tho, such a good app deserve appreciation.

Exactly. Hahaha. Way too much when main purpose is simply a file transfer.
Google messed up big times with AFT tho. If they want to sway more users from apple ecosystem, they need to make their platform work together better with apple one, but instead, they put halfass*d effort by never updating their app, and let 3rd party dev do the job for them.

Thanks mate for this recommendation. Was forever stuck in trying to connect my Pixel to my Mac. Strangely Android File Transfer was able to identify every other Android device except for Pixel. Finally, gave OpenMTP a try and it worked in one go directly via a type-C to type-C cable [just had to uninstall AFT as it was always conflicting with OpenMTP].
Been using a chunky USB C to USB C cable to connect mine to my MacBook.....works most of the time. I have always found AFT to be flaky on the Mac.....and temperamental.
I also have an Xperia 1 IV and luckily Sony make Xperia Companion for Macs which works a treat
