I want to launch an program on my computer with my phone (connected in the same network), that's about all
More details, I did some research already and i found a way to turn your computer on with trigger, tasker and an app to wake a pc, I would need to replace the wake with the command to launch an program on a windows 8.1 machine. I also have tried IFTTT but found no solution, the optimum trigger would be a nfc tag

Does anyone know of a app that you can remotely control your evo 4g device from the computer through a usb cable (3g would be fine too)??
I found an app that you can do it with wifi, but I do not have wifi available at my work location (the app is called htcportal).
I also found a screencast application:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
(but you can only view the screen, you cannot remotely control it w/out rooting, I do not want to root just for this app.)
while at work I like to plug my phone in and just keep it on my pc screen so I can type messages or whatever through the software instead of having to pickup the phone and/or disconnect the usb/charging cable.
Without root, probably not going to happen.
what is the app that controls it via wifi?
moto phone portal/HTC portal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5750062&postcount=57
I just tried out the moto portal and I don't like it.
the interface is pretty neat, but you have to scroll to find your contact and I didn't see an option to show the screen and actually be able to navigate through the phone.
I was wondering if there is an app and computer program bundle that would allow me to trigger macro's on my laptop over WiFi from my galaxy s? (android 2.2).
I basically would like to pop up my phone, press a menu option in an app, and have my downloads program open on my computer, or my security camera program start recording etc..
Any idea's?
Thanks

There are a lot of choices to choose from if you want to manage your tablet with Ubuntu. However, there are different methods for different programs and you get different functions out of each. I'll compile a quick list for you, but without a little more specificity, I don't know what you mean by "manage".
1) VirtualBox - You can always use VirtualBox to run Windows and use that to install Samsung Kies/Smart Manager/etc.
apt install virtualbox
2) ADB - (USB Debugging must be enabled). Android Debug Bridge is a command-line based program to control different things on your device. To start, go to Settings - About Phone. Depending on your version of android it could be in "Software" or something along those lines but find "Build Number" and tap on it until it says "Developer Settings enabled". Afterward, go back to Settings and find the Developer menu. Turn it on first (there should be a box/slider/something on the top or in the menu) and go to USB Debugging. If it is grey'ed out and you can not turn it on, try turning off and on the developer settings. Once USB Debugging is enabled plug your device into the computer. The phone will ask a question about trusting the computer, press yes. Now, launch a terminal and type "adb devices". As long as only one device is plugged into your computer, and as long as the device is listed as "device" and not "offline" "unauthorized" or something like that, you can issue it commands! For more info on ADB, just google adb commands. "adb shell" gives you direct access to the /bin/sh shell in android. From there you can run commands directly through your tablet. Last note on this: 'adb tcpip 5555' restarts the adbd program on the tablet to listen for connections over the LAN/WAN/whatever it is connected to. To connect from the computer, type "adb connect <ip>" where <ip> is the tablet's IP address.
apt install android-tools-adb
3) scrcpy: Scrcpy is a program, written in java, that will use adb to display the screen of your android device in Ubuntu/anything that runs java. You can also click/type through it, allowing you to control it remotely. A word of warning: I don't know why, but my first few times trying to install this program were a major fail. I eventually got it, and it works pretty good, but it wasn't easy.
google: scrcpy (it's a github link)
4) VNC: You can install something like a VNC (Virtual Network Client) server or RDP (Remote Desktop Procedure) server on the tablet, and connect to it with tight/tiger vnc. Note: Device may have to be rooted for this, and, from my experience, most VNC servers wont work right. However, this has worked for my Samsung tablet in the past (the screen it broken on it but the digi is okay. I cant use scrcpy because scrcpy requires Lollipop I think and it has Kit Kat). I think the app "DroidVNC Server" was what I used.
5) Check Play Store for "android remote manager"
6) nuntius/kali-rolling 0.2.0-5+b1 amd64
share notifications from Android phone or tablet via Bluetooth or LAN
NOTE: I didn't like this program, but feel free to give it a shot!
Hope this helps!
The amazon fire devices are a little weird. I currently have them integrated with home assistant through ADB. The problem I am running into is that if the ADB connection is lost from my computer to the firetv, then either the ADB debugging needs to be toggled in developer options, or I can restart the firetv itself. If the ADB connection is lost then some of my automations and controls do not work on home assistant.
Couple things:
I am willing to root the device
If I cannot toggle adb debugging, I could just reboot the device. I have considered using a smart plug to do this, but I would rather let the fire handle it.
Would tasker or termux be an option? I've considered moving ADB from the computer server to termux with https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB, but I am not sure that would be more reliable.
Basically I want to toggle ADB debugging or a reboot on a set schedule (eg. every night @ 4am).
Hi Moosefist
Parhaps this might help you toggling the ADB based on a schedule:
App: Automate playstore link
The app Automate let you create a schema flow where you can specify what your device should do. For example, turn off bluetooth when connected to wifi network XYZ if time is greater than 10pm.
I think even that it doesn't require root, but I am not sure since mine it rooted anyway...
So not an autoclicker or record and repeat app, but a real automation software that can handle IF loops etc on the physical Android device. The device must not be connected with cabled or wireless to a desktop computer while executing the automation.
For example: if this image/element exist on the screen then execute this, otherwise execute that.
I know Macrodroid and other record and repeat apps but doesn't have that functionality in example.
Do you know any way?
Thanks for your suggestions
