[REQ] Best app to get on a pc screen a real time image of my android device - Android Apps and Games

In order to run demos and project (for large audiences) what appears on the screen of my Nexus S, I'm looking for the best app (not necessarily free) able to do that via USB or WiFi.
Have you addressed the same need in the past?
Any suggestion?
Thanks
P.S. Being able to do that without installing any special software on the pc would be a plus

VNC. e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476648

Look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigoliproductions.phoneprojector

Webkey https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey&hl=en
runs on your pc browser

You could try PicMe:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-bw-picme-qDnn.aspx
It requires root but allows you to control your phone from any web browser (just switch to live mode to actually take control). It's not very fast but i guess it's better than nothing

Using ANDROID G-sensors as a game controller in windows 7?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded Bluetooth PC Remote software which allows me to control my PC Via my ANDROID phone.
It's a great bit of kit, and I was wondering,
Can I send G-sensor data to the PC?
Can I use said data to make a games controller out of my phone?
As far as I know, the app sends the data, and I have installed a driver to my PC so it looks like its found a sensor... (screen print attached), though the sample app from developer site where I got the software doesn't seem to react. minor setback to cool project, no?
Hope someone can help!
PS, FYI, the app name to control my PC is called PCRemote Advance.

He means the gsensors. You know, tilt left and things move left. Or flip and some crazy thing happens.

Sort of.
I know that for all the mobile platforms, there are games that use accelerators.
I can (supposedly) send my accelerometer data to my PC, but I cant actually find any accelerometer game for windows 7 ultimate. so I will go for the next best option...making a controller out of the accelerometers so I can control my PC games (bragging rights mainly..how many of you can play SHIFT on YOUR phone? )
only problem is, I don't know how i would go about making a games controller out of the driver.
Try AndroG Controller
Try this app AndroG Controller

The app is free but the server costs 1.99$.
Supports multi-touch. It has a D-Pad, 5 button pad , Touch-pad (all on one screen) and G-motion support.

Remote android desktop app

Hi peeps, have seen plenty of apps allowing remote desktop from androids phone to windows PC. Just curious to know if anyone has info of an app for phone that allows remote access of another android device eg, my transformer. Thanx in advance for any info.

For example droid vnc server in your transformer and some vnc client in your phone?
Yes, the free VNC-Server on the market works well, but the VNC-Client I tried on my TF did not give me any opportunity to do swipe/drag gestures on the remotely controlled device which made it pretty hard to act in android. In addition, the phone I wanted to control ran Android 2.3, so the missing buttons were also a problem which made everything quite unusable. So I would say that you shouldn't expect to much of it.
i just found in development subforum droidmote an droidclient apps. Take a look at that thread
Splashtop works

Cheers guys will take a look and see how I get on. Just out of interest how did you you use splashtop? Only gives info on PC and Mac in the read up.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Splashtop clients are available for mobile and PC/Mac, but the server (streamer) is not available for Android.
I've used the free Android VNC server in the market on my old phone and a VNC client on my work station before....worked but not enough that I'd fancy using it with a Transformer if it can be avoided (most needs I have for that are done via SSH).

SSH? Can you expand on that?. Sorry of it seems a silly question.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
There is an app called "Webkey" for android that basically allows you to remotely interact with your phone from a browser like through RDP or VNC. I think this is approximately what you're looking for. There is also an app called "Airdroid" that is similar in that you can control the phone/tablet from a browser, but its got its own UI rather than using the phones native UI.

Secure SHell (SSH), can be used to get a secure data stream between hosts, usually used for running a shell, file transfering, or forwarding ports.
In essense it gives you a "Command prompt" on another machine.
It can also be combined with the X Windows system, where in you run the program on another machine but it appears on your system. The ability to do that with the transformer however is more convoluted than a typical Linux box (and Windows NT apps are not programmed to support the X Windows System used on unix, linux, and bsd).
File transfers and port forwarding stuff however work pretty typically on the TF.

Run PC Desktop Remotely On Galaxy Note

I am looking for an app which, similar to Splashtop on the Google Play Store, will allow to me run my PC's (or in my case laptop's) desktop remotely from my Samsung Galaxy Note. I have tried a few so far and, based on what I have experienced with them, here is roughly what I am looking for in such an app...
Firstly, it is a great preference of mine (although not a necessity) that the application is free. Should this not be an option, just make sure your recommendations are not ridiculously priced.
I want an application which scales down my desktop, so that it fits in its entirety onto my device without a constant need to zoom in or out. Splashtop, as far as I am aware, does this but I ideally want a free app as I said.
Finally, I'd like for it to be capable of transmitting sound, so that I could play videos off of my computer's hard-drive or just check something in my iTunes collection.
Nobody has any ideas as to an application capable of this, or should I just buy Splashtop as it does apparently work rather well - no?
Buy it to support the developer then ask for the feature you want. If not just Google blackmart and get it there.

I don't condone piracy. No, I am willing to pay for Splashtop, but I have heard mixed things about it. Does anyone know of any better alternatives - especially if they are free?
I am using PocketCloud Remote RDP / VNC (free app) quite ok for me to remotely checking things on my home desktop. But I have no idea if sounds work for your need, please try it if you like. If you found this is helpful, then you can pay for the "PocketCloud Remote Desktop Pro " version which can be downloaded from www.coolapk.com which is a chinese site anyway.
Hope it helps.

I am using landscape mode on my GN usually when accessing my desktop, when it opens, home screen is 1024x768 automatically shrink to fit on my GN. But I usually shrink and enlarge in order to visit those parts of the screen I want.
By the way, I am using VNC client at home so it might have some limitation on controls. Have not tried RDP or Google Auto search. Let you to explore and let me know. Thanks.
try team viewer for remote or unified remote

I tried Team Viewer, but it did not shrink the resolution of my PC to fit onto my Note's screen and the colours were all messed up!

Have you tried LogMeIn? It's by far the best app I've tried. But no sound

Wirelessly Transferring Files

Is there a way to wirelessly transfer files from the S10e to other Samsung's or Androids very quickly that's baked into Android?
Ideally I don't wanna use a third party app myself and the receiver need to download and install.
This is my new work phone but my main phone is an iPhone 7 which comes with a handy utility called Airdrop built in that allows me to very quickly send files with minimal fuss.
Tried googling it but only found stuff about using wifi direct.
How do other android users do this simple task?

Doesn't seem like this is possible in Android natively, quite disappointing for a 2019 phone. Will see what apps are available.

You can try wifi direct between 2 Android phones. The setting on Samsung phones is usually located in connection settings
Google seem to be stripping back on things like this to put tasks into apps instead. That way they get updated as needed rather than rely on an OS update. We also have OTG for USB media or connect to PC and transfer files. Not sure how extensive that kind of support is with iOS. I frequently just transfer files by cable between my phones and my work PC because it's so quick and hassle free. I also use a file explorer app from Google Play which has much more functionality than the stock file explorer.
I would try wifi direct first.
Use your file explorer, choose share, select the content you want to share and then select wifi direct from the options share brings forth. Go from there.
I'll be honest, when I'm with people who have an iPhone and a task needs to be done, mostly the Android leaves the iPhone in it's dust due to the plethora of options and customisation possible. Even had this last night with a friend playing audio in the car. The iPhone had a weird issue putting out a decent bluetooth volume and kept turning back down whereas my phone just powered, loud and clear.
There will be a few cases where the iPhone has the edge though.
Does Wifi direct still require the sender receiver to enable and configure it?
I'll give it a go when transferring files. The main stuff I'm looking ti transfer are photos.
There's an option on the iPhone that reduces the bluetooth volume under accessibility. I've had that annoying issue before.

"Files by Google" is the Airdrop alternative on Android, but it is not baked into Android yet. It's still better than using a third party app though.
install telegram app on every phone, then you can send large files. problem solved

Thanks very much! This is exactly what I was looking for, a close to native way to transfer files wirelessly. Will give it a try when I get a chance.
