What do you mean by "hard buttons" ?

There is a basic keymapping here.

http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/wiki/KeyMapping

I may provide a graphical toolbar in the futur

works well in Linux

Thanks a lot man

I am running Arch Linux, the command in the terminal is javaws <jnlp fiel>

Or open it in firefox if you have jre and jdk installed

Lol I have an Asus 1000HA running Windows XP and I can't really seem to figure this out, I'm no good with ADB/have never tried it but I'd like to get this working, anyone that cares to help I appreciate it :D
[G1 Apps and Games] billquinn1:
Just want to throw in my 2 cents worth. love the program. I use it through Droid Explorer and the "key mapped" buttons don't work for me either. Once I have it active, the mouse works as it should but not the keys. Great work and much appreciated.
[G1 Apps and Games] JackCrackerMan:
Just wanted to post, I LOVE this app... very very cool tool and it was super easy to get going!
[G1 Apps and Games] prscott1:
Thanks for the great app! I've been using it regularly since first release.

The record works great - I use mplayer on my desktop to view it or convert it.

This is great!!! :D
[G1 Apps and Games] 650to6800:
Is this app ever going to hit the market place??? I want it so bad but am to much of a RA-Tard to get it to work.
[G1 Apps and Games] Icebergxx:
Don't be such a ruh tard, lol The Hangover.

Look for Droid Explorer here in XDA and download that then when you get to the point where you can choose to pick the path to the Android SDK or just have it installed through the program, do it through the program.

Then when that's all finished up you'll see at the top it'll say plugins then screen cast will be available.

BUT it's laggy, and I don't have it all figured out yet.
[G1 Apps and Games] getiem:
It's already stated in the bugs, but couldnt find the solution:

What is the video file format recorded? I have 3 files recorded, but no extension is added. Now i cant play it. What extension should i add?

Great app btw.
[G1 Apps and Games] getiem:
solution: upload the file without extension to youtube and then download the file with mpeg
[G1 Apps and Games] acid256:
This is a quicktime file format, add ".mov".

Hi,

I just got my first Android device (Motorola Droid) and I am absolutely in love with it. I have a question.

Pardon my ignorance but i am fairly new with this whole android and having root access thing. Here are the questions i have

a) do i need root access to run this app?

b) if yes, has the Droid been rooted as of now? ( i dont think so but i cud be wrong).

c) if no, then do i need root access for Droid Explorer?

I tried connecting my device thru usb n stuff. Mounts pretty well on a windows system and i can access the files n all. But I can't get this cute little app to work for me. I am so used to MyMobiler that the inability to access my droid thru my comp is becoming a handicap. Please advise anybody :D

Is there a way to make Android Screencast run locally on a PC? I'm on a work PC behind a proxy server, and my computer is not allowing screencast to download the files from the googlecode site.
[G1 Apps and Games] lalalala1:
Dear All, i am now using this program and its amazing! i was wondering if anyone knew the buttons that are on the phone, what they are on the keyboard? got it: http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/wiki/KeyMapping

Also wouldnt it be possible to use our phones as webcams right now using a program like ScreenCamera and having the phone left on camera mode, and ScreenCamera selecting just the phone on the desktop and will take that image and use it as a webcam?

even http://www.softcam.com/ but it only works on XP

[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
I will answer these to the best of my knowledge as of this moment in time.

A) Yes, root is needed because it "injects" an app on to the device

B) No, at least I haven't seen it rooted anywhere as of yet, just a lot of "maybe if we ..."

C) Yes, root is needed because it makes use of "busybox ls", because the stock "ls" sucks and doesn't give all the information. Now, technically, you could run droid explorer without root, but you would not be able to "browse" the device, and some of the plugins would not work because they too could require root access. But the installer for Droid Explorer will install the usb drivers, and sdk (it local to droid explorer, not put in to environment path)

I hope this helps.
[G1 Apps and Games] SirVilhelm:
It does, thank you.
[G1 Apps and Games] Crusher16:
Awesome! I've been waiting for something like this. Good work!
[G1 Apps and Games] psychedelicNerd:
Thanks for clearing it up. Now that i know that its being restricted by the system, it kinda puts me at ease. Waiting eagerly for a way to root droid. There are hackers already accepting donations against it. Hope they are able to get to it fastt.. Thanks for your explanation
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
anyone else having issues with screencast "hotkeys" not working. I mean, nothing really. running cyanogen 4.2.5. Keyboard import is completely ignored, no hotkeys work and can not type in to text fields on the device. also, it doesn't recognize the mouse input as actual input to the screen, the device still shuts off the screen if I'm moving/clicking the mouse.
[G1 Apps and Games] Killian12321:
I'm having a similiar issue. It's displayed on screen but the mouse isn't acting as an input :(
[G1 Apps and Games] mcapehart:
Just gave this a spin. Great start, but mouse/keyboard on PC not working at all for me.

acid256 are you still working on this project?

HTC HERO

Firmware 1.5

Kernel 2.6.27-533ce29d

Rooted with asroot2

busybox installed

No keyboard function

Would love to have this working. Seems like the older version worked for most, is there an archive download section?
[G1 Apps and Games] blackgin:
It only works the mouse for me..

Great application, hopefully it doesn't get forgotten about. : (
[G1 Apps and Games] eraser400:
I love the idea of this program for Andriod. I am currently using an HTC Touch Pro running WM and the only reason why I will not switch off is because Andriod does not have a program like this that works yet.

I am looking for a program that you can acutally use your mouse and keyboard on the screen without an emulation on your monitor.

I am currently using Desktop Rover for Windows Mobile. http://www.neslosoftware.com

Any programs like this would be fantastic!
[G1 Apps and Games] immyh:
anyone still working on this project this may well turn out to be one of the biggest things to happen to android in awhile so please keep trying. Very promising so far.
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
would really love to see this developed further... with docking stations at work and at home, it would save so much hassle and would made typing SMS etc. a blast....

had an equivalent for a WinMo device once, and loved it...
[G1 Apps and Games] Talderon:
Oh man, this app is going to be on my MUST HAVE lists (as long as I can get it working at home with Windows 7 (since I am using it now on my work machine with XP)).

My home office has really crappy T-Mobile coverage because it's in the basement. The ONLY way I get any signal is to put it on the top shelf of my desk (which makes it so I can't see the phone) near the window.

With this, I can have it up there, if someone SMS's me, I can view and reply without having to move the phone!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] daveredfern:
Hello all,

I am trying to get this app working on my mac. i have installed the sdk but can't get my device to list in the adb. i have a htc hero. when i launch screencast i get this window:-

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/195580/Screen shot 2009-12-07 at 23.17.09.png

how do i list me evice? do i just share with usb mount or do i need to root it? if i need to root it is there any good tuts?

thanks.

dave.
[G1 Apps and Games] Talderon:
From what I have read here and on the code site, for now, you DO need root for it to fully function.

There are some easy tutorials on how to root your phone, but I am not sure how to root a Hero, so I can't reliably reply to this, but check the Hero section of this forum and you should find something.

As to getting ADB working on a Mac, again, I am a PC user and can't help ya here except to point you here:

Now that Motorola Droid has been rooted.

Could someone please confirm if they were able to run this app on the Droid? I couldn't.

Yeah I couldn't get it to work on my droid either :(
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
Where is the dev on this app, I love it, but it needs some attention as the keyboard no longer works. I hope this project is not dead.

My 2 Cents

Just throwing in my 2 Cents worth...

Love this but doesn't allow control at the moment. Would love to see this working fully, please provide an update on development if it is in fact still ongoing.

I had this functionality with Windows Mobile in the form of using the powertoys with Kill Proc and CERDisp which allowed full control of any windows mobile phone from your pc, would be good to see this functionality for android phones.

Keep up the good work and Thank you! :) :cool: :)
[G1 Apps and Games] eraser400:
Donate

I am more than to donate some money to get this project done! is anyone still working on it?
[G1 Apps and Games] acid256:
Project is not dead.

Some problems :

- I can't fix issues with the Droid myself because i don't have this phone

- I still haven't found a way to enable keyboard control for non-root users

- No progress so far to improve the framerate.
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
It's not just the Droid, within the past month or so, none of the keyboard key work at all. It started out, at least for me, that none of the "Mapped Keys" worked, but now it wont even type in the a text box.
[G1 Apps and Games] acid256:
Check the new 0.3 version !
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
can you create jnlp/jar files that the names don't change when you update? The jnlp should auto update the new files automatically when launched, so users would only have to launch the existing jnlp file.

It's actually for selfish reasons too, droid explorer has a cache of the jnlp file and just uses that to launch, if you change the jar file names and such then droid explorer is not "up to date". :)

[Update]

Also, just tried 0.3, the screen isnt refreshing for me. The device is responding to clicks and what not, but the application is not showing these screen updates.

[Update 2]

It seems that it does update sometimes, but its way laggier then it used to be, and sometimes it doesn't update at all. Also, the keyboard still does not work to type in text fields.
[G1 Apps and Games] acid256:
New files aren't automaticaly detected and downloaded when using the same name. I think it's a a Google code hosting issue.

I've uploaded a 0.3.1 version that should fix key control issues. Adding buttons messed focus-related things.

Thank you for your feedback !
[G1 Apps and Games] camalot:
It has to do with caching issues with the setting for Java Web Start. By default it will cache the files on the system, not sure how long it caches them by default though.
[G1 Apps and Games] Gilbertinho:
This is awsome

This program is awsome im on a rooted g1 running kingklicks 2.3 hero and it works so great on it. I can't wait for an update that fixes the laggy ness but overall it awsome.

Love It

Love this Program!!! I'm surprised that it can show real-time this good and when you interact with the screen on the desktop it does the same for the phone. I cannot wait until this gets good enough to show real-time smoother and better. I'm running this is Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

I put the androidscreencast.jnlp in the same folder as android sdk and made a shortcut to the desktop and it still works fine.

Mouse and Keyboard Input works too. I can type using the keyboard without any real lag (there is slight lag because of the 4-5 fps but there is 0 lag on the phone itself) the mouse is the same thing as the keyboard little lag because of the low refresh rate but 0 lag on the phone itself.

P.S. - I used this on Cyanogen 4.2.11.1 on 12/30/09 so people can get an idea of what software I used at the time I used it.

It's possible do like screencast by wifi connection? Is there an app that do it?
[G1 Apps and Games] HeroTD:
I'm a Windows Vista user and I'm trying to get this thing running.

I have successfully installed the "Android SDK and AVD manager". When I run the Java file (androidscreencast.jnlp), no device is listed. My HTC Hero is USB-connected to the computer, but I'm assuming this has something to do with the phrase "ensure it's detected with "adb devices"". Could anyone tell me how I would go about fixing this? I couldn't find too much information and I'm not really familiar with any of this.
[G1 Apps and Games] b34r5:
I'm a bit of a weird one.. I'm trying to get this working on a nokia N810 internet tablet using a ported version of Android (NITDroid). I dont need control from the PC, just a live screencast. I seem to be having similar problems, in that I cant get the device 'ADB connected'. I'm using Windows 7. Any obvious reasons... i.e. do I need to root my tablet, is Windows 7 problematic (some users report success, i've read elsewhere that Win7 presents ADB problems). Any thoughts would be much appreciated, and thanks to the dev for their great work!
[G1 Apps and Games] psychedelicNerd:

No Image on PC

Has anybody had an issue where the application launches, but the window is just grey?

I can click in the window where an app icon is on my home screen, and that app will open on the phone, but all I see is grey.

I've also opened the app in recovery mode, and this worked (Icould see the phone on my pc), but not when I've booted to the OS.

I'm currently running CM 4.2.12.2, and wondered if this may be affecting the issue.

I really want to get this working as it would be really useful for using my phone at work ;-)
