Hi all of you, XDA fans!
After googling and looking in XDA forums, I was not able to find any ways to port linux apps to Android and was wondering if it was even possible.
Knowing that Android runs on 2.6.25 kernel, I thought that maybe it was possible.
I recently purchased a G1, successfully rooted it, and now am looking for ways to port linux apps to Android.
Is there a way to build apps from source code on Android, using the build tools provided with desktop distros? (I am using Ubuntu atm).
Anybody want to share some lights on this?
I'll keep you posted if I find anything intresting...
XDA ROCKS!!!
I'm looking into this myself, especially with respect to vlc, mplayer, and some console emulators...all of which have been compiled for ARM before, most successfully on the GP2X handheld.
Cross-compiling apps on an Ubuntu system is possible, but I'm not sure how well compiled apps will work with the Android framebuffer. There's also no x-windows system, so you know graphical apps that need it won't cut it at all.
Let us know what you find out.
Found this: Debian on Android
Hey i found this, Thought it might be intresting to look into this.
Debian & Android Together on G1
It's a guide to have Debian running alongside android, at least for what I understand...
I haven't tried yet since I have rooted rc8 and it's written for rc29/Mrc30, but that seems like a good solution.
Would be nice to be able to compile on android rather than on eclipse on ubuntu...
I've got no programming knowledge, that's why I'm looking for a solution allowing to compile directly on android...
"There's also no x-windows system, so you know graphical apps that need it won't cut it at all."
I was thinking as an experience to compile aircrack-ng, and it has no gui... The hardware might not support it but tha g1 might be able to handle it.
Yeah I wanted to compile the No-IP app for the phone so I could know what the IP address of my phone was on Tmo's network. That way I could run a webserver on my phone (apache anyone?). Does Tmo have firewalls in place to prevent this type of thing?

enable telnetd from terminal and see if you can telnet from your computer to it via 3G (i.e. your wireless computer ---> G1)
My G1's edge ip is 25.97.51.2XX tried to telnet in, host unreachable. Did a traceroute from both my web server and home computer, both showed that the 3rd hop and all hops after that did not respond, and as expected ICMP echo (ping) sent to the phone timed out. Therefor we can i think say that T-mobile was not dumb and put a firewall up as any network administrator would. Gonna double check the IP of my G1 and i'll get back if it figure out my ip is different or something.
EDIT: pinged my router this time, got the IP 208.54.4.61, still same story times out and my G1 died so im going to reboot it and plug it in to try again.
well i'm sure t-mobile was wiser on that end, but did you try telnetting on port 80? also if you were to get a webserver running on your g1, you could always just use a non-standard port (81?) and just use a service like dyndns to control the port redirect, since i'm assuming they're already managing the dyndns updates.

If you have JF 1.3+ you don't need to insmod ext2.ko. Just type "busybox insmod ext2".

Do you think I can have it working on my rooted UK RC8?
I want to try it but it seems the configuration are slightly different for RC19 and RC29 according to the tutorial, so I thought it might be different on RC8 too.
I tried the web server in the market, didn't seem to work on edge
I'm not quite sure but I believe that T-mobile's VPN add-on might provide an externally accessible IP.
does anyone know if you can compile samba for the g1 ?
I've never dealt with linux on anything besides x86 and x64, so forgive me if this is stupid, but what about running gentoo on the G1 here? Seems to me that portage for ARM might be a little bit better for the G1 than the Debian repositories.
Although, NONE of us will be excited about having our G1 churning away for hours/days just to get Xorg compiled, as well as the headaches associated with installing and configuring gentoo.
I'm sure someone's thought of this, and Debian is pretty great anyway, just thought I'd put this out there.

It's not stupid. If it works for you and is to your liking, go for it. It is debatable, however, whether portage (as good as it is) is any better for the G1 than Debian's packaging system. Packages compiled for the ARM architecture are already optimized for ARM processors. There wouldn't be as much self-compiling gain in this architecture as there would be optimizing between i386, i686, amd-64, etc. You'd be doing a lot of work and wasting a lot of time having portage compile your apps...and you'd have very little pluses to show for it.
Oh ok, I just thought that many apps were being compiled manually and portage might make some of that easier. I figured there wouldn't be any speed gains over Debian or other binary-based distros, and the barebones installation of gentoo is absolute hell, but I hoped it might get us into full-blown X quicker somehow.
It could definitely work with Portage. Keep in mind, though, that apt-get under Debian *can* download and build the source into a package automatically as well.
Web Server on TMO
Hey guys,
I'm new on XDA, getting my galaxy S tomorrow, I was a nokia fan up untill maemo 5 and the N900...
Anyway, one thing to remember is - Cellular Operators usually manage their own IP address pools, they don't give "Real" IP addresses to cellular phone, but rather use NAT services and all sort of nasty hacks to the IP system.
Therefore, in order for port 80 (http web server) to work on your server, it's not enough to just run it and get the IP, you also need the provider/operator to forward TCP packets coming to your External IP on port 80 to be forwarded to your internal IP > to your phone.
This, will never happen. If it will, you will get charged heavily for this as it will increase traffic and allow upstream traffic to your phone, and also risk your phone to potential hackers.
Edit : And I just noticed I resurrected an almost 2 years old thread Oopsy.

Hi,
I need the captivate to be able to connect to a adhoc wifi network created using my laptop. However, android doesn't seem to be supporting it, just access point networks. Has anyone tried this, any success?
Searching revealed one thread where a guy modified some code on an htc phone, and got it to work, but seemed a little dated. Not sure if that would work with the android 2.1 and the Samsung phone.
Help appreciated.
The Captivate can connect to ad-hoc networks, but not through the native GUI interface. I tested mine via adb shell issuing some iwconfig commands via script to connect to a MyWi router on a friend's iPad. It's buggy, to say the least..

agentdr8,
Thanks for the reply.
Care to share details on the commands you ran? Or are you saying it's not worth it because it's so buggy?
thanks
To avoid a hard lockup, start with the wifi turned off. I tested it numerous times with it already on, and it resulted in a battery pull.
You'll need busybox 1.7x (maybe 1.8x will work too?). You'll also need a working iwconfig binary (I symlinked mine from the WifiTether app dir: /data/ext2data/data/android.tether/bin to /system/xbin)
With an adb shell, try something like this:
$ su
# /system/xbin/ifconfig eth0 up
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 essid YourEssidHere
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 key WEPkeyhere
Now with wifi turned off, these commands will all error since the interface is down/off (eth0 is the wifi, at least on my Cap). Turn your wifi on and rerun the same commands, followed by:
# netcfg eth0 dhcp
This may or may not error out, but ultimately, you should see a dhcp address for eth0 as handed out by your dhcp server/mywi device.
You may need to also manually add the ad-hoc network in the GUI with its key. I can't remember if I needed that or not, but with it I can see the connection status and when it's grabbing the IP. Even shows connected and signal strength once it does connect (assuming it doesn't lockup).
agent can you help me pls. Im a newbie still.
Do i run all those commands in windows when my phone is connected or do i run it through something like terminal emulator an app on the phone??
You can either use adb shell on your Windows machine (part of the Android SDK), or you can use a terminal on the device itself (ConnectBot is my preferred). Your phone needs to be rooted if it isn't already.
Okay, I'll try out the connectbot. Can you tell me how to do this part then if it's needed??
"You'll also need a working iwconfig binary (I symlinked mine from the WifiTether app dir: /data/ext2data/data/android.tether/bin to /system/xbin)"
how do you do this symlinked part?? I don't really understand it.
I tried ur commands without doing the symlinked part....everything just returned a "not found" message.
Maybe you could give me a dumbed down step by step way of doing this hahahaha??? Im rooted and i have busybox 1.7x, just missing the working iwconfig because im not really sure what it is.
If you're not too familiar with linux commands, it would be best to wait for someone to build a widget/GUI app around this, as poking around in a root shell on your phone is never a good idea if you're not aware of the potential consequences of blindly running commands.
It's possible that with the Froyo update adhoc connections may just work as intended, not that I've read anything that suggests that.
The portal had a write up on how to connect an android device to an adhoc network a couple days ago.

Issue isn't on iPhone-end, nor wpa-supplicant end (as the wpa-supplicant binary included in the android wireless tether app has this ability).
The problem is the GUI end of things (i.e., settings.apk) ALSO filters the results.
So it goes beyond simpy modifying the wpa-applicant (yes; this is sufficient for the basic-functionality), but is very crude & diffcult to do on the go from the tiny terminal emulator, etc.
What I've personally been looking for, is an update that modifies the neceasary files, and enables this extewmely useful function.
Something similar to the update package posted for the froyo-build, but instead for the ECLAIR-2.1 build of the captivate.
If anyone knows of anything availible like I'm describing (a GUI-centered mod that will remove ALL the STUPID damn (pardon language lol) IBSS filtration form the settings.apk, wpa-supplicant, wireless configuration files, etc for the ECLAIR-2.1 build of the Captivate so that it JUST WORKS lol -- this way we can SEE and CONNECT via our native GUI .
I've gotten this to work through running command line / configuration file hacks, but it's very messy/annoying AND to make things MORE annoying, once you've put it into Ad-hoc mode and have it all setup very nicely, guess what? The settings.apk application (which is needed to load the device into kernel), will actually COMPLETELY UNDO all the tedious command line efforts you've just made, and takes the wifi chip out of Ad-hoc mode every x amount of minutes! ARGH!! LOL!
Anyway, I've gone through the source code and patch diff's myself and it really doesn't seem very involved. I actually was planning on compiling the necessary modded binary (making a nice update.zip for all the frustrated captivate owners like myself lol), but I simply haven't had the time to setup the build environment for it at the moment (have several other build environments I'm juggling as it is with work).
Anyway, I apologize for the rant lol -- I just wanted to clarify exactly what is needed and point out it really wouldn't be much work (and would be VERY much appreciated!!!!) if someone with the skill, time, and a build environment for the galaxy s (captivate, speifically lol , could post an eclair mod for us -- you would receive AN ENORMOUS amount of praise & thanks lol .
OR -- if someone who has a little time, could simply modify the android wireless-tether-app to have one extra feature, 'connect to ad-hoc network' lol . This would also be ideal, as it already fully supports the initialization & loading of the captivate wireless driver properly, and can fully manage the interface & connections while running in the background (independent of settings.apk). PLUS -- it even already has full ad-hoc support built into it's own pre-packaged wpa-supplicant. Basically, all the hard work has already been done with the wireless-tether-app, just need a few extra functions to handle scanning for networks and connecting to them (relatively simple, considering they've already done ALL the hard work..lol)..
Okay, my rant is officially done! Lol! I just hope this helps those who have the capability to help, give a clear picture of all that's required. It's late, so some of this stuff may have already been mentioned and I missed it! Shoot, maybe someone just finished doing exactly what I just went on & on about? Lol.
In any case, if anyone is willing to help out -- or already knows of a solution already out there I've missed -- PLEASE let me' know! This functionality would truly help a great deal in my day to day work with my captivate! Thanks in advance!!!
holy need a bump batman!

I found this post last night, but I couldn't get it to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16632147&postcount=7758
This thread should be used to provide feedback and troubleshooting for the Sixaxis Controller and Compatibility Checker apps.
If you have a device that you would like to see supported, and you're happy to step few a bit of debugging to help me determine the issue then please let me know, and preferably provide a screenshot of any error messages.
I'm doing my best to add support for new devices (especially HTC and Samsung), but it seems that it might not always be possible to add compatibility. In this case, the only option for running the app on said device is with an AOSP based rom such as CyanogenMod.
Also, throughout the thread I will occasionally be posting beta versions of the app that include new experimental features. I would be most appreciative of any feedback from those willing to test these new features.
For those looking for help with touch profiles, mythek88 has put together a master list here with a growing list of games. Hopefully at some stage I will add the ability to share profiles directly through the app.

Earl
Both Nexus phones. I'd volunteer for testing, but I don't own a sixaxis.
Out of curiosity, why does this need root access whereas Wii doesn't? Is there a difference between the way the controllers pair or something?

Yes unfortunately, although the Sixaxis basically communicates via the HID protocol, there are a couple of minor differences that would require a kernel patch to make the controller start talking over HID. The only solution I have found for this so far is to bypass HID and communicate directly over L2CAP (both of which require root access).
I'd love to volunteer for testing! I have access to several androids and 8 dualshock and sixaxis controllers
If you wish to test on an Galaxy S II then I am available to help out if required. I too have both DualShock and SixAxis controllers.
I can join to you guys too! I have Desire HD with sense or without it and dualshock3/sixaxis controller.
I have three phones that I'm willing to beta test.
I have dualshock 3 controllers.
LG Optimus S
HTC Hero (rooted w/o Sense)
HTC Evo 3D (soon to be rooted)
I definitely think you should release a free version that lets people test basic compatibility. 15 minute return window doesn't seem like enough to test an app like this.
Very excited to see this app!
Ok, what I'll do initially is release a standalone compatibility test app on here in the next couple of days that basically allows me to get some initial feedback and if required have anyone who is willing with an incompatible phone to run a few tests that might enable me to get them working.
Again, this application will only work on rooted devices, sorry!
Stay tuned.
I'd suggest you to put an free version for like 2 weeks for the time its a beta stage then when everything is finalised make it 1$ which i think is reasonably fair ! And i own an sony ericsson xperia x10 it has to work ! Since sony > sony ericsson is the same company i think ? Lol

Here is the (very basic) windows utility I created today for pairing the controllers to a specific MAC address. Once installed, you should be able to plug a controller in to your PC via Mini-USB and the 'Current Master' should change from 'Searching...' to the last MAC address the controller was paired with (probably your PS3). You can then change the master by entering a new MAC address in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. This address will ultimately be the bluetooth address of the phone you wish to use the controller with. The Android app will give you the correct address when run on your phone.
Make sense?
If anyone wants to try it out and let me know if it works on your PC's, that would be lovely. Just enter any old MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 will do.
Linux users (and apple mac?) should be able to use the utility called 'sixpair' that is floating around the net.
Just an update that I'm hoping to get a bit of feedback on...
This app allows you to test whether your device will be compatible with the app. Once I have enough feedback about which devices / OS versions it will run on (and potentially improve compatibility with some assistance from testers on the forum), then I will make a release on the market that enables IME.
If you would like to help out, you will need to download the attached apk, as well as the SixaxisPairTool in my previous post. You will then need to extract and install the apk on your phone using adb or something like 'app installer' from the market. Run the app and follow the instructions (you will need to use SixaxisPairTool to pair the controller with the phone (using the bluetooth address displayed at the bottom of the app after tapping 'start').
Please could anyone who tries the app report back here any devices and OS's they have tried, and the success they have. Feel free to ask for help if anything is unclear.
Cheers,
Earl
I ran Sixaxis Compatability Checker on my Asus Transformer running Prime 1.6 (Android 3.1). When I clicked "Start" the program said "Connection Initiated..." and then "Connection Failed." At this point I have not paired my controller because the Checker program does not give me the MAC address. When I click "Stop" my Transformer locks up and nothing works, and while I can turn it off with the power button it does not turn back on until I hard reset it.
oKay i run the Server on Android.. they show me the MAC.. ..
i type the mac address in the Windows App .. the show me the same address in the Server and Controller .. but if i press start at the controller hey only blinking.. -.-

@presslab - Can you try running the command 'hciconfig' on the phone in a terminal emulator as root user and tell me the result.
@Witalka 15 - When you paired the controller using 'SixaxisPairTool', did the 'Current Master' show the same address as the one you typed in after clicking 'Update', or was it still showing 'Searching...'?
I have a Droid X running Liberty Gingerbread ROM 0.9. First off I'd just like to say that I constantly have problems with it, including with Bluetooth, so this may not apply to all Droid X users, but I do receive the "Connection Failed" message, and was just wondering what I can do about it since I've been dying to use my Dualshock with my phone for the longest time. Thanks
Anyone getting a 'Connection Failed' message can help me out by trying the following commands in a terminal window and reporting the results:
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
start hciattach
hciconfig -a hci0 up
hciconfig -a hci0 pscan
hciconfig
If you get a 'not found' error when calling hciconfig, you could try copying the executable (from say here) to your /system/xbin folder and making it executable with 'chmod 744 /system/xbin/hciconfig'. Then try running the above commands again.

*** REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS ***
*** NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.2 ***
BlueCtrl is an open source Bluetooth input device emulator that can control remote devices. This means that you can use the touchscreen and keyboard of your Android device to control other devices which support Bluetooth.
Because this app is using the Bluetooth input standard, it supports various operating systems without any special server software. It has been successfully tested with the following systems:
Android
iOS
Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu...)
Mac OS X
PlayStation 3
Windows
Please note that if you want to use this app with Microsoft Windows, you probably need to disable a conflicting Android service. For more information look at:
https://github.com/RonsDev/BlueCtrl/wiki/Bluetooth-input-service-conflict
This app requires root permissions because it needs direct access to the Bluetooth adapter. Another restriction is that it is only compatible with a specific Bluetooth stack that is called BlueZ, which is used on many but not all devices with a Android version smaller 4.2.
What's new
New system specific touchpad gestures
The gestures are now optimized for the chosen remote device system. Linux and Windows systems also got a new setting for the gesture mode. So, for example, if you are using Windows 8 you can configure the appropriate gesture mode to enable the special Windows 8 edge gestures.
New interactive touchpad tutorial
The interactive tutorial will explain all gestures for the current system and can be activated via the menu.
New menu item for composing text
This is especially helpful if you want to write a longer text because you can keep your eyes on the device and see what you write and it also allows you to correct the text before it is send.
Voice input can be corrected before sending
Voice input will be displayed in a edit box before it is send so that you are able to correct misinterpreted words.
New "Stay awake" setting
This setting prevents that the device is going into standby and disconnects the connection. To save some energy the screen will however be dimmed after 30 seconds of inactivity.
New "Scroll sensitivity" setting
You can long press the keyboard button to change the input method

What IDE do you use to build this app? I'm new to Android and so far I've just used Eclipse. In your source code I didn't see gen folder with R class.
I also met problem when connecting two devices (two Android phones). after paring, I pressed "connect" button then I received a message "Connection refused. The remote device is busy or the devices aren't correctly paired".
Is there a phase to enter the key used to pair two devices? If yes, I didn't see that phase.

The app is build with the Ant build tool on the command line (see the README) but I use Eclipse to develop the Java code. The gen folder will be automatically generated if you build the project.

Before you press the “connect” button you should wait a little until the other device shows that the devices are paired (sometimes the “connect” button is enabled too early because Android reports that the devices are paired even if the pairing process hasn't finished yet). Before that you should normally see a pairing request dialog or notification where you enter or confirm the key.

Hey thanks for the app. Its amazing. I was the first post but I got one thing that I was wondering if you could look into.. I have two devices. A htc g2. And a Samsung galaxy player 5.0. Both rooted but g2 on cyanogenmod. And galaxy player on stock. This app works on my g2 but the galaxy player gets this error. The application encountered a problem and cannot continue (error -53). Please help!

Sorry for the late response.
If you are familiar with ADB, it would be helpful if you could try to start the app again and send me the result of the following command:
Code:
adb logcat bluectrld:D *:S
I am very familiar. And will try to get it to you right away

Amazing App! Though I connected my phone to another Android phone and wondering what gesture is the Home button.
2 Fingers is the Back button
3 Fingers is the Menu button
Also I tried connecting it to my iOS device and I get the "Connection Refused" message. On my iOS device it just keeps on trying to connect? Has anyone else got this problem?
Wrote this message using the app onto my Mac!

Try a two finger swipe left (mouse button 4 on a PC).

Have you seen the "More information" part on the "Add device" screen and followed the instructions?
2 finger swipe left worked for the Android Home
And I got connected to my iOS device but no pointer (not your fault, **** iOS fault). Thanks man, really helped me with my Mac, great app!
Btstack
hi guys! great app! I wish I could use it! lol Actually... just tried it on my macbook pro... works great!
Okay so you say it can connect to iOS but no pointer? But the BTstack tweak in cydia is supposed to solve that issue.
However I can't connect to my ipad 2. here's what I sent to the developer of BTstack mouse:
"Hi, I've tried to find a solution for a while now, but to no avail. I go to connect the mouse and it just sits on the "mouse selector" page.
I have an ipad 2 (wifi only) (not the ipad2,4 either) jailbroken ios 5.1.1
Everytime I try to pair. it wont. Then the app blacks out and freezes my ipad. I'm then forced to do a hard reboot."
now... your app warns me that another Bluetooth input service is active on my device T-MOBILE HTC G2 cyanogen mod 7.
I click the link to read more info, but it doesn't really help me out. I would love an answer. maybe a how-to only have one bluetooth input service running on the G2 at a time? I really want to use my phone as a mouse, I already have an apple wireless keyboard that I use with my ipad a lot and would love the addition of a mouse. (I'm currently NOT trying to pair both at the same time.. fyi)
So if someone could help me out, this could be a big step in bridging the gap between ios and android and getting them to actually play nice together.
Thank you for your time!
Hi I had a g2 and I kinda have a ipad 2 and it worked flawlessly. What works is don't try to connect them from outside the app.
And if you need more in-depth help just ask

Hi Everyone,
This is the first app that I've publish, so any constructive criticisms are welcome.
Vritual Wheel:
This app allows you to use your android device as a wireless steering wheel to control racing/driving games on your PC.
Your android device and computer must be on the same network for this to work (meaning same router/switch).
This app currently works with both 32 and 64 bit Windows.
Installation and usage instructions are in the app description on the Play market.
Link:
Please leave me some feedbacks in this thread on what you like and what you don't like. Also what you want (other than the planned features) and any bugs (please also tell me what device and version of Android you are running).
Code:
Changelog:
[B]v0.1:[/B]
Initial Release
[B]v0.2:[/B]
Added steering angle adjustments and deadzone.
Added 64 bit support.
Thank You
id noticed your post on lfs forum earlier on so downloaded it, il be going on lfs soon so will give this a try and leave feedback
Thanks. My computer's graphics card just died on me yesterday, so I won't be able to do much development. Going to take about 3 days for the new GPU to come in. I plan to implement adjustable steering angle, calibration, and hopefully bluetooth communication in the next update. 64-bit is a bit harder than I thought, so that is currently delayed.

It's a fantastic app from what I can see. I'm using a 64bit pc so I'm eagerly awaiting the 64 bit release!
EDIT: Is there anyway to run it on a 64 bit pc as a 32 bit app or something? Like "Compatability mode" etc?

Unfortunately no. The 64 bit support has to do with the driver. Currently, I estimate about 1-2 weeks before I can get the 64 bit support working. So hang in there, it's coming
Ok, finally got my GPU. Just compiled the 64bit drivers, and tested to be working fine. All I have to do now is implement them into the installation package. 64 bit coming this weekend

good to hear, im on a 64 bit machine so would find these useful, i look forward to testing it on live for speed,
v0.2
Added steering angle adjustments and deadzone
Also added 64-bit support (I am still learning Windows Driver Development, so the implementation is not very efficient and clean. Hopefully I will be able to design a clean custom driver for both 32 and 64 bit within the next month)
Wow this is a sweet idea

How to make this app works with City Car Driving or Need For Speed Underground 2?
Would you give a way to configure it on PC (in games)?
Thanks...
I can confirm this works with the HTC One X and Saints Row 2, I'll check out some other games the coming days if I have time.
Really awesome development!
Two things didn't go very smooth though:
- installing the unsigned driver
- figuring out the correct axis and buttons
The first is a tough nut probably, but the latter could be solved by adding a help option in settings that shows the button map.
Idea's for further development:
- autolaunch the program with Windows, to the system tray
- autosearching from the app for running servers on the network (check out Unified Remote's implementation)
- choosing to use the two center buttons or using that as a touch area (for camera control)
- hook the volume buttons as shoulder buttons!
- allow custom layouts (maybe only colors and texts, but that would be cool to accomodate other games)
The PC client keeps failing when I start android app, I assume while connecting to PC.
This application must have a "Prevent Screen to Turn Off"
Use with Linux? Flightgear, etc.
There are numerous apps to keep screen on. Can use Xposed, appsettings module.

Getting the same error here. And one other thing - when I type the IP Address, which the program is showing me, i get absolutely no connection, but as soon as I enter my correct LAN IP Address, things get to the 'stopped responding' thingy...
hello ..! I wanted to install the file. exe of this application on my PC with windows 7 32bit and I have the following problem ..!
and also attached the LOG installation gives me the program ..!
I had a driver issue here, but I attempted a fix and I think it worked, VWheel device driver is now successfully installed, but still app is hanging in Windows when I open simultaneously Virtual Wheel in phone and on PC(As soon as it connects, it brakes down). Also, I can see that 32bit users are installing v0.3, im on x64 here, first tried installing program from the main link in GooglePlayStore, but it wasn't successful, so I saw that there is a 64-bit version, which is reporting v0.2a ?

Do I need Wi-Fi connection or I can just turn-on my Laptop wi-fi and my Xperia S wi-fi to use this?
P.S: I don't have Wi-Fi, I use Modem to connect to internet.

You have to have a Local Network e.g. a Router, only enabling Wi-Fi on your PC and Phone is not going to work but I think there were a few programs that might help you create a network between your laptop and your phone. Google for Wi-Fi Hotspot or something and search the results for the program that suits you best. Good luck. Im still stuck here with program crashing when I setup everything right. Dunno why also as I mentioned earlier, program reports wrong PC IP Address, check for solution on that also.
Error code: CLR20r3, tried all the fixes I could find in the web, no success... OP, try researching why this problem may occur and at least let me know cuz I'm struggling from 3 hours to fix this and get it up and running Admirations on your work too
