Get the 'ARM' one, worked for me.

I agree and same here, a thick client like VNC is not really any good as it can't log in seperately with resolution of 640x480, so you get huge scroll bars.

Perhaps it's possible to "hide" the top and bottom bars in the same way as on a Windows XP PC, ie. find the window handle and use ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE) on it, if there is such an API in WM5?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I'll say it again. I made a program to do this generically in all programs. If you post a screenshot (since I don't use terminal services) I'll tell you if it could work...

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MBastian:
Is this helpfull?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Should be able to do something with that. I'll have to set up terminal services on my WM2003SE Magician though. (Anyone give me a very quick step by step to setting it up to save me time? I've never used it)

If I can do anything, I'll post back.

Thanks for the pic. The GUI is such a waste of useful space!

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MBastian:
You don't have to set up anything at the PPC.

Just type the IP of your PC, when you're connected with active sync.

Make shure that remotedesktop is activated in system settings.

You can easily connect externaly via internet if you have a Firewall/Router with dyndns and portforwarding.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Hmmm.

Guys, I can do this: full screen terminal services

Is that what you're after?

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eagle 1:
yes, without the scroll bars
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Or, indeed just "yes, vijay555, you're a hero :D "

Can you build this for WM5? Oh, and can I also have the moon on a stick please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
now that is the daddy. maybe remove the scroll bars and have a very thin control area or some key combo to get in and out of full screen, none the less, that is fantastic improvement on the current mess m$ made, any chance of posting the prog for us to test on wm5?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Those scrollbars would be perfect IMHO - plenty big enough to be useful.

I just wish there was a way of getting Terminal Services to display the PC's desktop at its existing resolution instead of resizing it to 640x480 and screwing up all my window & icon placements.

Does VNC handle multiple-screened PC desktops yet? It's no use to me if it only shows the primary screen of the PC. I have three monitors and things get spread around ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Yes, just uncheck the "Limit size of server desktop to fit on this screen" option :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
Looks good.

Tell up how you did it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
When I've tried Terminal Services this box has never been ticked. Perhaps I'll experiment with it. :)

Thanks for the suggestion
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
I don't know, I'm afraid. I only tried TS for the first time last night so I'm a complete n00b. Would be v.handy for controlling WinAMP though, so I think it's worth persisting.

It's unusable for me if the thing resizes the PC's desktop to VGA size every time it connects. In fact, since TS kicks the existing user out to the Windows login screen too, the whole thing might be a waste of time anyway... :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] unknown_macuser:
can my Mac do that??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Silicon, there are other apps for controlling winamp, search the forum. I recommend remoteamp.

I'm (slowly) programming my own app for this kind of thing as well. Full PC control by pda from anywhere. Eventually!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dltyih:
May be my Universal's ROM is different (Dopod 900), but I can't seem to find the Terminal Services client installed. Is this a program which came with your Jasjar / imate or is there an external program that I need to download in order to connect to Remote Desktop on my WinXP Pro PC?

Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
Its called terminal services client.

try find the app called mstsc40.exe in the windows folder, thats where my shortcut points to
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] page3:
Yes, but not with Terminal Services.

I run OSXVNC server on the Mac and Mocha VNC client on the O2Exec. This supports three screen sizes - zoomed, 100% and scaled full screen :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dltyih:
I do not have the mstsc program in my Dopod 900 (can't find it). Does anyone know where I can download this? Can't find it in microsoft's website either.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
vijay555: I have an MSDN universal subscription and can get the VS2005 versions...

If you don't mind me asking, what language did you do this in, and do you plan on releasing the sourcecode so people can tweak it for their individual needs? Or if not, could you say how you did it?

Many thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
sl9 - it's being done in English.

I haven't got around to finishing it yet beyond the WM2003 version because of my VS2005 issue, but that's been sorted now so I've finally started upgrading my stuff.

I got a Universal last Friday as well, so hopefully development will move quickly once I get around to it, but I'm updating VJSMS etc first, because I think this will need more work.

Source code: not really, not right now; it's a mess and unfinished; however, feel free to make suggestions as to what the client might need, within reason. So far, my ideas are to incorporate a popup menu to emulate the little icons that are removed. Perhaps toggle scroll bars on/off and some other stuff.

How it works: basically, it just moves the window to fill the space. Then some jiggery pockery to keep it there.

Someone pm'd me a while ago to ask if i could do this to the Citrix client, but he disappeared. If it works in a similar way to the TS client, I'll have a look at it.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
vijay.

What would be really nice if you could do it would be the ability to scale higher resolution terminal services to the resolution of the device. GoToMyPc and LogMeIn both do this but it would be nice to be able to do it with the TS client too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
yer have some resolution options when you connect up, 640x480 800x600 1024x768, etc etc. this would be handy!!!!!! well thought rilot :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Guys, my program is basically a cosmetic hack, a big improvement, but fundamentally microsoft's client. I don't think it's possible to force the client to stretch/squish the image - I had a thought about it, but it'd require rewriting the client to handle screen taps mapped to the squished image, and that's beyond what I can do "externally".

The only way would be to write a new client, and I have no personal intention to do that! Any volunteers?

In the interim, at a later stage, I had an idea about implementing better navigation of the client, but that's for later.

The 640x480 is hardcoded I think. However, I did briefly investigate some registry entries that might lead us somewhere, but I got carried away in reshaping the client, so didn't persue it further for now. I haven't been able to touch this before getting the new VS2005, because of limitations of tools on the beta (btw: thanks to all those who helped :wink:).

But I'll get around to it: one or two other <minor> things to release first. Too many things to code, and I work fulltime too! (Hint: Send me a donation! I had to buy a Universal to help on this thing!)

Re the 640x480, as I say, i think it's hardcoded, but I'll try a few things with the registry; someone better than me will have to consider looking into the dissassembly if they want to get their hands dirty.

BTW, are you familiar with this:

On XP click start> run > mstsc

That was new to me (I've never run Terminal services before this thread) - but it should give you ideas about what I'm thinking for the registry.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
The XP/2k/2k3 TS client is excellent and I use it all the time. Such a shame MS couldn't implement a similar version in WM5 rather than the cut down bodge they provided.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] geng:
Terminal services in full screen is really interesting ! Are there any news on this ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Geng: fullscreen, in the sense of removing the microsoft junk (title bar and menu bar) I can already do it for WM2003 (and WM5 now!); however, I'm trying to wrap some interface around it for now.

I'm hoping to get out a kinda prelim version for you guys to try, and then you can start making grand suggestions of what might need adding beyond the basic.

However, I'm updating in the following order:

VJSMS and siblings

VJToggleToday

VJTodaySpacer (new!)

and then Full screen Terminal services. And that's just for you guys. There's new stuff I want to work on too!

So I'm working on TS, but since it's dependant on techniques I'm developing for VJToday stuff, it will come a little way off. No exact promises, but perhaps around this weekend I'll try and finish off a version to try out. But please, no promises!

I hate to say it, but if you make a donation to my "keep me working" fund, it helps keep me focused! Terminal services is not something I'll ever use, so it's only for you guys!

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
In proper VGA, full-screen TS is surely no longer important? The top and bottom bars hardly take up any room at all now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Yep, my thoughts as well.

I guess they take up 52 pixels (26x2), but I can live with it in VGA. But, I guess at some point someone's going to work on enlarging the soft menu in VGA mode, so it might be useful then, and for QVGA mode.

But no, VGA TS already looks fine to me. My hack will work on it merely because it can, not because it's needed. In QVGA it's quite useful though.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] geng:
With “out of the box” VGA I think it is as important as using a qvga machine. Using something like ozvga I agree it’s not that important.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Guys, my beta fullscreen terminal services for WM5, WM2003, QVGA and VGA is posted here:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
I'll feature VJFullscreenTSC in my forthcoming full roundup of remote control solutions (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285094 for a preview if interested). Here, only some quick remarks:

0.46b works great on the VGA x51v in Portrait mode.

I've also tested it on QVGA devices. There,

1, the horizontal scrollbar is invisible (because of VJFullscreenTSC’s assuming to be running on a VGA device)

2, you can’t scroll down entirely with the vertical one either (the bottom 320 pixels aren’t displayed because of the above-mentioned functionality). You can, however, do the latter from the menu (and, then, of course, you can disable the scrollbars entirely).

Otherwise, I haven't encountered problems on QVGA devices either.

This title is HIGHLY recommended and will get very good recommendations in the article.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Menneisyys old chum. VJFSTSC will get a full refresh at some point fairly soon. It's been out for over a year obviously, but the new version will hopefully address issues and add many "value added" features... try to tack that on to the end of your roundup if you get a chance..

Gracias

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
OK,

When do you plan to release it? I plan to finish my article in 2-3 days.

Another choice is that I publish the article and will later update it with new info on the new version.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
It won't be done within the next couple of days... better to go for the latter option. I'll go and have a read of the preview...

@ Vijay555

I have 7 Terminal Servers, which I can easily store in the registry, except for the username/password.

Do you know how to store the username/password in the registry for the PPC TS Client?

I can make a new binary key in the registry --> UserName, but whatever value I put in, the only thing I see in the TS logon screen, is a block-sign.

Eelco
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Eelco, this isn't really my thread, so we shouldn't go offtopic, but basically, no, I don't think the Terminal Services client is fully featured and takes full advtange of the registry settings - it seems to contain a hard coded rdp record.

I vaguely recall seeing some postings on newsgroups about enabling registry parsing, but this may be what you already know.

However, there might be some ways to inject the registry settings into the program directly, or macro them in... if we don't find another way to do it, I'll try to add such a feature if and when I get around to updating my app.

However, Remote Desktop in Crossbow is much better, and fullscreen, and 16bit, so as Joey says, this may all be a "moo point".

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eelco_akker:
thanx for the info vijay
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
That'd be great - that is, storing the host/login/password settings and pasting them right away into the Login screen of Windows.

BTW, mstsc40.exe isn't even able to parse a .rdp file (for the login/domain / other params) it's passed, unlike .NET-based RDP clients, which we're trying to "hack" into Pocket PC (see http://www.hpcfactor.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=6940&posts=3 for more info).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eelco_akker:
at this moment I can store and parse the username and the domainname for PPC Terminal Services Client.

I create a REG_BINARY key UserName

with the hex value : 63 00 68 00 72 00 69 00 73 00 00 00 (string = chris)

I create a REG_BINARY key Domain (string = TESTDOM)

with the hex value : 54 00 45 00 53 00 54 00 44 00 4F 00 4D 00 00 00

When I connect to my server these values are correctly parsed in the logon-fields.

Password however is not done this way, someone got any idea?

Thanx in advance,

Eelco
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eelco_akker:
Update

AutoLogon=1 (REG_Dword Value)

automatically connects to the server.

Only the password parsing is still a problem

I just tried version .4 and .46 on my MDA...none of them make the resolution on my screen any bigger. Is there something else I need to do?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
The resolution of Terminal Services is fixed to that of your device. However, if you use a virtual screen driver like Nyditot you can enlarge the screen. However, your results may vary!

TSC, as has also been pointed out in the Remote Access Bible (DID YOU READ IT??? Please *do* follow my articles posted to the General forum!), has been removed from WM6. RDM does support full screen by default.

Ok, works very good.

suggestion: build some kind of filter, I get notifications from xprivacy, titanium media sync and apps I installed through the web playstore. Notifications which I personally find not interesting enough to display on the lockscreen. Maybe something like: "press 5 seconds on the notification to put the app on the ignorelist"

I would pay for nils+ by the way, how much is it gonna cost?

Does this work with widgetlocker?, i have the original nils on my phone and tablet running on top of widgetlocker

My other question is, does this have the ability to keep the notifications even if theyre no longer on the status bar or if i click them? In the original Nils it doesnt do this even if i check the option to do it

I really would like to have that option

1. Yes. Choose WidgetLocker on Lock Screen App option on NiLS+ Service Settings.

2. Yes. Disable two-way sync on NiLS Service Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Simply remove NiLS widget. Use any other clock widget you want...
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Yeah but in the OP, in your screenshots, it shows NiLS widget and NiLS+ together.... how'd you do that?!

Feedback

Hi!

I´am using this fantastic app from the start and helped with the first translations. A great project!

Here is my feedback for the new extension:

1. There are apps that add always new lines to the same notification. The problem is that new lines are added to the end of the list. But I need the newest line on top (it´s also an issue with the main app).

2. It happens too often that you accidentally swipe down and kill all entries. There should be a symbol to reach (match) or something else (like you have to do to unlock to the app directly).

3. I would be great to delete expanded notifications my dragging the icon on a symbol like a trashcan

4. How about a system where you can flip through all expanded notifications or display the next one after deleting the current?

5. There should be a mode where you can use the extension together with the widget of the main-app to have the configurable clockfaces...

Keep on rockin!
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Thanks for the feedback rob. That's very nice ideas. (3) you can already delete expanded notification by swiping it left or right.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Awesome ideas dude. These 2 apps are amazing. Like you said (#5) using these 2 apps in conjunction would be freakin sweet and something I'd deff pay for!!
[Android Apps and Games] Rey_:
hi . i just instal it and its work on my phone LA-M1 little chili . very love it .. thanks dude:)

-ask : path message or notification is not coming on the lock screen .. is there any way to make it appear ?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
All notifications should appear by default. If something appear on android notifications bar and doesn't appear on NiLS . it's a bug. What is Path?
[Android Apps and Games] Rey_:
its social media app like instagram :D. but any way its great work :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Does the notification appear on NiLS widget? (Not NiLS+)
[Android Apps and Games] Rey_:
seems not . its in persistent notification list :what:
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
NiLS+ doesn't show persistent notifications - only dismissable notifications.

I'm planning to add an option for NiLS widget to show only persistent notifications, this way you will be able to use both NiLS widget and NiLS+ without duplicates.
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
After having a quick play with nils+ I have found that interactions with the overlay do not prevent the screen from timing out, so you could be reading a notification and your screen turns off as it is not registering any touches or interactions
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
NiLS+ v0.5r6

NiLS+ v0.5r6:

- Swiping right to open is now possible. Go to NiLS+ settings -> General -> Swipe right to open -> Check.

- App specific actions is now accessible without opening the preview, just move the notification icon down or up.
