Hey guyz, I found this java based screen recording app that works with adb. I used it for some time. I could control the screen with keyboard and mouse through PC but the screen was not visible in the app, only blank white space is shown. Here's the link:
just search "androidscreencast" in google. Its a PC app. (Srry not allowed to post links as I'm a newbie)
See if this works for u and report back. It's a small tool and requires the android sdk and usb debugging + java.
It also has an option to record the screen. For some reason I couldn't do it as the screen is not showing. But its totally working for many users of the app so u could give it a try.

Alright guys, I finally found a Java App that will actually control your phone from your pc. This is not complicated. Thanks to acid256 for this open source project.
If your looking to do screenshots, use the java screenshot program in this thread
Features
- Mouse and keyboard control FOR ROOTED DEVICES ONLY
- Landscape mode (right click)
- Video recording
- Basic file browser
INSTRUCTIONS
Download Android sdk. Place android-sdk-windows folder on root of your C:\
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download(skip login) and install JRE(JDK) 6
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp
Download the attached java file, unzip it, and just run it.
Place it anywhere you want. It doesnt have to be in the sdk folder like the screenshot program.
Make sure your phone is plugged in for a minute or two.
If you cant get it to control, run the automount app or dual mount sd widget.

Damn that is sweet! Will try it when I get home from work
Thank you for posting about this. Just gave it a shot, and it works pretty well. It's a bit laggy, but definitely gets the job done. I needed this in order to respond to texts without looking like I'm responding to texts, and for that this works very well.
Thanks for posting this. I might have to give this a try.
Good for if your phone is in someone else's hands. :-O
Just tested it out.
Found a couple problems-
-It's a little slow
-If you have the phone set up with the kickstand, and it turns the orientation side ways, it does the same on the computer. So then everything is sideways.
-If the phone is Asleep, it wont wake it up
Besides those few problems, it's great!
Can't wait to see what this will be like in the coming weeks as the dev. gets the bugs worked out!
Yes very slow but I like it. Awesome owkr.
Cool beans, thanks
i was hoping this was similar to MyMoblier for WinMo. being able to remotely control (or at least view) a device is rather handy for support folks.
has anyone seen something more like mymobiler for winmo that will work on android?
Works good but it needs more responsiveness in the mouse clicking. I can drag but I cant click very well. I press menu and go to Wallpaper. But I cant press Wallpaper.
Excellent program for people who want to text in privacy at work.
Awesome, this could be quite useful
i'm having absolutely no luck with this. granted, i'm using adb wireless to try and manipulate it, but i'm rooted, and it should still work. getting absolutely no control at all. none. i can see the screen, and can rotate my view of it, but i can't do squat through the phone.
i'm rooted, btw.
I searched the HTC Glacier forum first to see if there was just a simple, singular "how to take a screen shot" thread and I didn't find one. For most of us, this is easy and it's probably why there isn't a stand-alone thread for it. I see people ask this all the time, typically in the wrong thread. Some of us ignore, some of us reply, but it ends up getting buried. I thought I'd put this up in a single thread that people can refer those who ask how. Hopefully it will help when searching too, since 'how to screen shot' returns a lot of threads.
*This is for root users only*
Download one of the many screen shot apps from the Android Market. I've used each and every one of them and ultimately, they all do the same thing. My favorites are:
ShootMe - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bw.picme.local
- Lots of features/options
- "Screencast" feature
- Clean interface
- Option to enable/disable shutter/capture sound
- Shake phone to capture + other options
*They also develop PicMe, which is a slick way of capturing images via your PC WITHOUT being tethered (your phone acts like a Web Server and you just access it via URL)
Screen Shot - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.geeksoft.screenshot
- Lightweight, no-frills
- Easy to use
- Shake phone to capture
You can also take pics without having root access, by installing (really just unzipping) the Android SDK, but most seem to want to know how to take screen shots without tethering their device to their PC.
If you found this helpful, click 'Thanks'!
[keywords]
how do i take a screen shot, how do i capture my screen, how do i share my screen, how do i take a screen grab
If you have a computer nearby and the Android SDK installed, hook your phone up to USB, navigate to:
Android SDK Install Folder > Tools
Run ddms.bat
When the window appears, select you phone from the device list
Click from the menu Device > Screen Capture then Save.
You need to manually refresh after you change screens, but gets some great screenshots, and it's FREE and does not require ROOT.
HOWEVER!! If you want to do this on the go, it will cost you or can do it for free if Rooted per the instructions above.
Yessss! Thank you, Talderon! I touched on the ddms method, but I didn't want to get too verbose in my little how-to thread. I was hoping others would chime in and this is exactly why I posted this.
Been looking for an app like this since the first day I got the phone. Thanks man!

It looks like screenshots via 3rd party apps might become a moot point come 2.3.3...

[[[Ice Glacier beats Rock ~ via XDA App]]]
You can also use the app "DroCap", which is what I use. Available for free in the Android market.
yup drocap2 works like a charm. open app click start, go to screen you want to capture and shake the phone
I just never liked the Notification Area icon for DroCap. Even ShootMe is a little busy as far as screens go, but I still like its features. Screen Shot by GikSoft is very 'lite'.
Thanks for sharing though! That's one of the reasons I started this thread.
Here's the market link for DroCap2...

Hey guys, anyone use APP Inventor on the transformer??
It's a REALLY basic app development platform for ANdroid. I wrote a bunch of programs on it already for personal use... mostly home automation software. I'll post a video of how I do it soon... but here's the problem:
It doesn't work right with the transformer!
First, it didn't even recognize the transformer. I had to install the Asus Sync package from the website, and then it recognize it.
Now I can develop on it, but when I load an app, it only shows up in the middle, the size of a phone screen. I couldn't figure out how to pan it out full screen on the transformer. I tried setting some of the pixel settings and nothing work. Anyone?
There are settings in the AndroidManifext that need to be set in order to enable stretching:
Code:
<supports-screens
android:resizeable="true"
android:anyDensity="true" />
I dont think that app inventor will allow you to edit those directly, but you can decompile the APK, add that, and recompile it

Disable "Compatibility Mode" in Spare Parts program and reboot. I don't think it's available on the stock firmware. Prime v1.5 has it for sure.
Recently a new application that allows you to use the Galaxy note 10.1 as a Wacom digitizer was released in the Play Store, the application name is S-tablet 3.0.On this site you can find more information and a link to download the application:
h t t p://s t a b le t . c o .k r/ (remove the spaces)
According to the site will have to install the application on your note 10.1 and after installing a dock expression on your PC in order to use the application.The application allows us to establish a connection with the PC and can control it from our device, although the application is focused on the use of Photoshop because it can detect the level of pressure in addition to the display of our 10.1 Notice will see shortcuts Photoshop tools.My problem is that after making the instructions on the website of the application, I can not make the application work and establesca communication with my PC, so I invite you to test the application and see if it works and if someone achieves haer the application to work, post in the forum or instructions steps you took to achieve it.
Bellow is te Play Store link of the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ.."]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ..
I'm able to establish a connection(it says 'wireless connected') between tablet and PC but there is no movement of the cursor or mouse. The website is in Korean and I can't understand anything. Right now it's unusable.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
The download links doesn't work either. Both on play or your website. Not on play because it seems it isn't available for my device. But other 10.1 apps are.
Arrrgh
I reaaaally wanna see this working.
I too have installed it. It gives me an error as soon as I hit connect after typing in the ip address displays on the S-tablet desktop app.
Out of curiosity did either of you guys notice a little off screen tab that displays a pop in icon of a kind of brush stroked S, as well as the regular interface? I almost missed it but it seemingly has no function.
It's be really good to have a usable version of this though I'm sure you'll agree.

When you say you have tried it could you tell what operating system you tried it with?
OS....
I used it on Vista OS.
Looks like the dev updated the site last week.
The s-tablet pc program isn't fully working on 64bit windows. Looks like they're trying to create a java based app to overcome this issue.
Hi. I've been searching about the android Q desktop mode. So I encountered two major problems. 1- for some reason I can't use the Free form window mode, i actually can, but when I reboot the phone, it disable itself."I think it is related to the moto app launcher in some manner" 2- my only option is to use my Chromecast as a monitor, but unfortunately the Chromecast only works a mirror and not an secondary screen. (It works fine with the emulated secondary screen). Sorry if my text were unclear in some manner, i am not a good English speaker and I did not used Google translate to write this text.
Edit: i can also use scrpy in linux to share my screen
