You can try with Teamviewer Quick Support.
It needs root access to control the device but it works flawlessly!

I tried every VNC server app, but no one worked on my Nexus 5 4.4.2.
Black or fuzzy screen on the client (UltraVNC).
Or the servers had problems to start.
Except VMLite VNC Server:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
It costs a lot, almost $10, but it works like a charm! Fast and reliable.
If you set only 256 colors in the VNC client, it's damned fast! :good:
Also this VNC server requires a rooted device.

I use TeamViewer for my PCs. But I am not quite sure how to use it for my Android as a server. I installed all TeamViewer Android apps.
I am trying to remote into my N5 from my PC, but it keeps saying that my partner is using a version of TeamViewer that doesnt support this
are there any setting I am missing. Please give me a step-by-step
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------
Never mind, I was trying to use the web client w/o installing the TeamViewer software on the viewer PC. It works GREAT!. thx

both vnc and teamviewer requires the n5 to be rooted first, correct?

Love it! Installed yesterday, working fine, nice interface... TV on Android!
Sweet, this must have just came out, I was searching for it Wed. night. Have to wait till I get Home to update my HTPC to Beta6 before I can try it out.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Great app
I am less enthusiastic about it, I already sent them a mail. I downloaded the mac version from their website and installed the beta 6 android version on my phone.
Connection is fast but everytime I connect to my mac my wallpaper on my mac disappears. Instead of that, I will get a blue background. Also I have to set the quality settings again everytime I connect. As my mac has a -1900x1200 resolution it looks like sh#t on default start up.

I looked for it in the beginning of the week, and couldn't find it. Been using it a lot on my iPhone 4, hence why I really wanted/needed it on my Android device too.
Will give it a go over the weekend

LIAR!!!! What do you mean TV on android. Using this app over wifi the refresh reat is like 0.5FPS and there is no audio that I hear.
I dont think he wanted to say that you can watch TV on your android.
He just uses TV as an abbreviation for TeamViewer...

There's an option to keep the your wallpaper or the blank one in settings. Just Check/uncheck that.

Does not connect to a client configured with the IP address as ID, does connect to a client with a session number.
Come on guys, it's Teamviewer... do you like the original app? It's just the same. You can't connect to an IP (it ain't VNC!), you can choose to keep the remote wallpaper or not (as it was correctly said before), you can even choose to stress on Quality or Speed, you have your usual TV login to manage your regsitered PCs... what else? I'm so happy with that, as VNC regularly killed any java program running on the remote pc upon connection. By my need, Android is now fully functional!

Oh, and you should get rid of those pop-up ads. They can be a bit annoying. The ones on the mobile side would do you just right

OK! just tell me how to connect your mobile to PC? I installed the app in the mobile, when open it, it has the space to enter the ip address, I entered the ip address of my wifi host (connectify's local ip address). It says connection failed.
I think I need to install the server in my PC like gmote, so I went to mnect.com and its all in chinese..

Yes, the same network and the same IP address. Still nothing... I have the information "Connection failed".
What about wrapped version, Chrome won`t let me download it, malware/phising. ??

[APP][4.0+] Icy Monitor - Monitor your PC from your Android device

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I released my first Android App called Icy Monitor, it helps you monitor your PC using your android device.
Features
Get graphs about your CPU (load, temperature, clock, power), GPU (load, clock, temperature, fan) and system (fans, temperature, voltages).
Customize graph colors to your liking.
Get information about each filesystem and each process running.
Save and monitor multiple computers effortlessly.
Clean, beautiful interface with tablet support.
The app is free, without advertisments and open source!
Downloads
Play Store
Windows Server
Github (for source)
Setup
Download the server application using the link above. Extract all files somewhere and run the application as administrator (otherwise, I am not allowed to read most sensors). An icon should appear at your system tray, right click it and select 'Open Firewall', this will open port 26822 which is used by the app (This only works with Window's Firewall, if you are using something else you must open port 26822 yourself). Now you can connect from the phone app by typing in your computer's IP address followed by ":26822". If you want to access the server through the Internet you will have to setup port forwarding, which is a different procedure for every router so I cannot help you.
If you don't know your IP, open a command line window and write "ipconfig". You should find your IPv4 address there.
More info
For more info, please visit my page or just ask here. Feel free to mail me at any time.
Thanks a lot for trying my app! Any feedback (positive/negative) is extremely appreciated!

Theoritically, the server could run on Linux with Mono but being a former Linux user I know Mono is not the best option. I am brainstorming this, I hope to be able to support Linux soon.
Thanks for the interest however!
Harmless little bump.
I followed all the instructions then tried setting it up on my device. I was a little confused why it refused to use a domain name. Nonetheless I entered my IP address. Now I get the error "Incompatible server version". Am I doing something wrong?

There was no activity in this thread so I forgot to update the server download link. Try this version. Sorry for the trouble.
Also it SHOULD accept domain names, it worked with mine (looks like this: something.dyndns.info). Maybe it's a port forwarding issue?

Everything works now, thanks! Once I installed the new server version I was able to connect via IP and domain. Before the domain said it couldnt connect and the IP said incompatible.
This is a very handy app for on the go.

cant get it to work on my lg g3(d855). otherwise great tool.
it works but with low fps on the pc idk why is there something I can do
Couldn't get it to work with my LG G4. Anyone knows of a trouble shooting forum on this?
Only thing I've seen so far is a running comment thread in G+ where Koush is responding to basic questions, and the Issues listed in the source in GitHub.
I'm having trouble with this myself. I have tried both MTP and PTP mode on the phone, Debug is enabled, ADB is enabled, everything seems set up right. Vysor sees my device, I select it and it brings up the black window with the spinning circle. My phone pops up and says "Vysor is connected!" (and I can see the Vysor app has been sideloaded), but no mirroring back on the PC. It's not just a black screen like some have had, its like the connection isn't fully initiated.
Wondering if we can crowdsource troubleshooting here before I file an issue in GitHub.

GREAT !
GREAT - Whatsapp on PC ! - best Mirroring for PC - i tested a lot tools - only problem is the different language of the keyboard ( German ü -> ue)
Frame rate depends on the power of the smartphone - for me its ok
a FEATURE: possibility to work with the clipboard - like myphonexplorer
by the way: if you use additional myphonexplorer -> text input - you can share the clipboard from the pc into whatsap and then send the massage with the remote control of vysor. best ever !!

send text
Hello,
does anyone know how to initiate the "send" command? When entering a text (for example in whatsapp) and when pressing Enter (or shift+enter) it enters a new line instead of actually sending the message. Is there a keyboard shortcut that can initiate the send-command?
thanks

does anyone know how to crack vysor pro? i need it badly(no money to subscribe
I wish it would work with firefox or as a desktop client, don't want to use chrome just for mirroring
Thanks a lot!!
It's a scam
Dont buy the pro version. It's a scam. The spammy ads that interrupt your work wont go away.
I use the app and go away, when i come back i always find an add that interrupted mu work.
I reinstalled, i'm logged in... all for nothig.

It is not. I have Vysor Pro since June 2016 and I have no ads.
If you've paid for a subscription, post your problem in the Vysor Google+ community so developer can check your account.
Pro vesion is a scam
Don't buy it. The ads don't stop, and you still can't change the transfer speed. Itried logging in, reinstalling, all sorts of stuff. Nothing works.
They didnt seem to have issues taking my money.
Very very bad app.
In some parts of this planet we earn less than 300$ a month. Your price is very high for me... you should at least make it work. Thieves!
can anyone confirm ads and in that case is there any other good similar way to do this?

[App] DroidID - Unlock your PC/Laptop using fingerprint sensor

Hi everyone,
I recently got a Galaxy S7 edge (wonderful phone!) and it came with a fingerprint reader, and as a developer, it was another feature a developer can build an app around. I became curious and I was looking for some apps that support fingerprint readers, and came across MacID, which is an iPhone/Mac app that allows you to use the TouchID sensor on the iPhone to unlock your Mac. Sadly, there's no Android alternative for it.
So I decided to make DroidID. It's a free Android app using which you can unlock your PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader on your phone. It makes it very convenient and secure to unlock your device. All you have to do is pair the Android app with the client app, and whenever you want to unlock your PC/Laptop, you just press on the unlock notification and scan your fingerprint and that's it!
Requirements
An Android device running Marshmallow (or above), with a fingerprint reader
Any Mac running El Capitan (or above). Support for Windows coming shortly
You can download the app and the client from my website: www.suyashsrijan.com/droidid
It's my first cross-platform app! If you have any comments or suggestions or anything else, please feel free to leave them below.
I cant wait to try this on PC...i've been waiting for an app just like this...keep up the good work
First of all, great job! it's not perfect yet, but still works very well. Eagerly waiting for Windows compatibility.
I'm just wondering, though, what kind of data gets exchanged over the internet, and where exactly does it go?

The only data exchanged between the client and the phone app is a command that the phone app sends to the client to tell it to unlock the screen. The password is stored securely in Keychain (encrypted) on your Mac, and your fingerprints are only read from your Android phone using official APIs; the app only verifies that the fingerprints registered on your device matches the one you scanned.
I waited so long for this software, looking forward to the support of Windows.

Push notification when Mac needs to be unlocked
Great app! What do you think about having the Android app pop up a notification whenever the Mac presents its lock screen? This way it'll be really easy to unlock from the Android lock screen. Thanks again.
Thanks, great App. But how do you send the data to Mac?
It's been half a year. I'm guessing the windows version is now vaporware?
Could not be set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0
Is it supported macOS 10.12? When I tried to set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0, it simply told me it is ready but nothing happened on my phone. How could I deal with it?

Is it supported macOS 10.12? When I tried to set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0, it simply told me it is ready but nothing happened on my phone. How could I deal with it?

it does work with 6.0 & sierra 10.12.1
Unlocking a PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader from the phone is an amazing feature. Need detail information.
Still no windows version?

Not yet, but maybe in the future.
Could you provide a news feed to watch or email alert for the release of a windows version?

Hello, I have succesfully connected the mac and the app, but whenever I try to unlock mac, the droidid types in the wrong password, even though I have double checked the password. I have android 7.1.2 and sierra 10.12.3. Can anyone help me ? thanks

Hi, I would suggest downloading the latest version of the Mac app from the website, as I recently fixed this issue. Please remove the old version from your Mac before using the new one!
