Please connect this device to PC .... root permission was the problem

I had this error message too while I wanted to start the VMlite VNC server on the tablet directly (not with a PC). I have a rooted Asus HD Memo 7 tablet with Android 4.2.2.

I found out that the problem was the SuperSU app because VMlite requires root for the above mentioned function. I removed VMlite from SuperSU and restarted the tablet and VMlite. Then the root permission renewed itself and all was good.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not working for me :(

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Grand running 4.2.2 (TouchWiz if that matters). I am able to set it up, and even connect. But on my PC all I get is a blank screen:(. However my gestures on PC are able to send commands to the device and the android DOES respond. I don't see the device screen on the PC. Tried using a VNC client(Real VNC) as well as browser. Any suggestion?:confused:

DroidVNC no inputs to the device

Hi,

I want to use DroidVNC on a noname Allwinner A13 device with Android 4.0.4 (kernel 3.0.8+),which is rooted. I can connect to the device with VNC viewer, but i cannot send any input to the device. Main problem can be that my device doesn't support uinput.

How can i run DroidVNC with full functionality?

Now i see that maybe i need a sun5i uinput module, but i cannot find any.

Other VNC servers offer to set the input device name manually, but no success, i cannot set the proper value, nothing works.

Any help will be appreciatd :)
[Android Apps and Games] voland:
I have the same problem - HTC HD2, A 4.0.4 (CM 9 clone).

So, connection is perfect either in RealVNC ot TightVNC, either through adb+localhost or direct IP, either through WiFi or USB. But no chance to input anything - no mouse, no keyboard, nothing.

Of course I check connection properties - input allowed.

On A 4.4.4 everything works delightfully.

Any suggestions please?
[Android Apps and Games] colt2x:
You need a uinput.ko kernel module for your device. Not all ROM's are involving it by default. This needed for simulate user input.

I hve a workaround, i plug a mouse into the device, and i press "allow" to the Teamviewer :)
[Android Apps and Games] voland:
Well I checked inside of ROM where VNC works, and there no uinput.ko module. BTW /system/lib/modules is only dir where *.ko files are, although I searched whole archive, and in no one *.zip of my extended ROM collection for at least 5 devices for many-many years search has not found no one uinput.ko.

So... are you sure?

Ehm? TeamViewer works in opposite direction - you can remote control your PC from your tablet. NOT reversely. And I need work remotely (from my PC) on Android mobile.

So how do you think you words, could you explain please?
[Android Apps and Games] colt2x:
Hi,

AFAIK uinput.ko can be found in /system/vendor/modules, at least on my devices. (A13 tablets.) But no matter where it is, because if VNC cannot input, you don't have uinput.ko nor in module, nor in kernel. So you most download one, and insmod into the kernel.

I know that some A10 and A13 devices have uinput.ko, i have downloaded some, but they haven't orked for me (Exec format error from insmod, while vermagic were the same as system).

Teamviewer : there is a Quicksupport app for Android from Teamviewer, whith you can remote control the Android device from the PC. Unfortunately it doesn't support any unattended connection, so you must press "Allow" to the incoming connections. There is a Tasker script what does this automatically (i have seen here on XDA, but i cannot find it).

Now i press this Allow button from mouse, and when i'm on my displayless device, i can control is.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

And i still hope that Onaips can help us, if he reads this :) But if not, it is not his fault that cheap ROM's don't contain uinput :) Droid VNC is still a great app i think.
[Android Apps and Games] voland:
OMDG! This is amazing!! Quick, fully functional, resizeable!

Only don't know how to "Long press Home button" to switch between apps, umm (cannot find even on TV site). This is sad, 'cause it is in often use.

Finally TeamViewer stands tall against Android! Thanks, colt2x!

Maybe that link helps? http://teamviewerforums.com/index.php?topic=2081.0

Absolutely agree!!

I tried to find uinput.ko for AOKP, but that's probably will more "Die Hard" case than I imagine...

Well because VNC works on other CM12 ROM with no seemly existing uinput.ko, I guess that it will be incorporated straight into kernel... But for LOL only, lsmod on my laptop LXLE shows no uinput module loaded :)
[Android Apps and Games] colt2x:
Hi,

I'm happy that TW is good for you. For me, it is a half-solution, because i don't have unattended access (only SSH).

Thanks for the link! I searched for this :)

I have opened a thread on XDA, and requested for maybe someone can compile an uinput, but no replies. CM12 is not available for my device :S But some stock ROM's are containing uinput for some devices, too.
[Android Apps and Games] voland:
Not completely. TW is too sensitive - the same device, the same kernel, the other ROM - and TW is not working as Remote control, because Add-On (AOKP) are downloaded though, but installed unsuccessfully. So no universal solution. Onaips, where are you?...

Glad to help :good:

With SSH you can run TV on remote Android, and with Tasker now you can press the button. Problem solved :)

Fingers crossed!
[Android Apps and Games] SergeGardien:
Hi, I've tested the Android VNC Server 1.1RC1 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, rooted and running CyanogenMod (cm-11-20150316-NIGHTLY-jflte) and my Mac OS X 10.9.5 but I haven't got much success.

To be precise I've made multiple test:

1) USB + HTTP (Terminal cmd: adb forward tcp:5801 tcp:5801; Firefox as Browser)

2) USB + VNC (Terminal cmd: adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901; as VNC Clients I've used "Chicken VNC" and the native Mac VNC Client "Screen Sharing")

3) WiFi + HTTP (still Firefox as Browser)

4) WiFi + VNC (same VNC Clients as above)

As I said I haven't got anywhere and in particular I cannot even establish a connection btw "Android VNC Server" and my Mac.

######################################################

DETAILS:

1) USB + HTTP: Firefox opens TightVNC (I suppose loaded from "Android VNC Server") asking for the password, after I give it and press ok it doesn't say anything back and nothing happens; I've also tried to open the noVNC viewer by clicking at the button at the bottom of the page and I see a new page with written "loading" but nothing happens.

2) USB + VNC: Mac VNC Client Screen Sharing doesn't even ask for the password and gives back a simple msg "Connection failed to "localhost:5901"" meanwhile Chicken VNC writes "Connection Terminated"

3) WiFi + HTTP: nothing happens here, Firefox continues to "wait" on the IP:PORT I provided (the ones given by Android VNC Server)

4) WiFi + VNC: Mac VNC Client Screen Sharing and Chicken VNC give the same errors as per test #2

######################################################

# TESTS WITH "VNC Server" V.1.0.5

(play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schumi.vncs)

I've also made some tests with "VNC Server" v1.0.5 and here I've got a step further. I can connect to the Samsung via USB (with both HTTP and VNC) but I get a bad screen (disturbed and unreadable).

# TESTS WITH "AndroidScreencast"

(code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/)

With AndroidScreencast (not a VNC Server) I've instead been able to Screencast the monitor of my Samsung on my Mac but I'm not able to send any kind of command.

######################################################

Any idea of what could be the problem with Android VNC Server?

Any kind of help is very much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] voland:
Simply use 1.1RC0 from GooglePlay, RC1 is non-functional version.
[Android Apps and Games] SergeGardien:
Good, many thanks Voland, 1.1RC0 is definitely better. Now I can connect but I have a black screen issue on my Mac by using the USB+VNC connection.

Any idea on how to solve the problem?

Tbh I haven't been able to download the 1.1RC0 from Google Play (I cannot find it and the link in the post#1 of this thread doesn't work) so I've downloaded somewhere else.

Regarding the 1.1RC1, I've downloaded it from the Github link on the post#1 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6954226&postcount=1), so probably it is better to change that link or tell ppl that the apk doesn't work.

######################################################

DETAILS (USB+VNC Tests):

To give more details (in case it can be useful to other ppl) this time I've tested USB+VNC with each of the 4 options in the "Display Access Method" menu (from the settings of Android VNC Server 1.1RC0):

1) Auto-detect: black screen

2) Framebuffer: black screen

3) Gralloc (Tegra2): Android VNC Server refuses to connect and gives the error "Unsupported pixel depth, please send bug report"

4) SurfaceFlinger (2.3+): black screen, moreover when I stop the server on Android VNC Server, it gives me the following message: "Framebuffer ioctl error, please try out other display grab method"

######################################################

DETAILS (USB+HTTP Tests):

I've also tested USB+HTTP but I've got the following errors:

1) TightVNC (connection via Firefox "localhost:5801") I've got the following error:

Error: access denied ("java.net.SocketPermission""127.0.0.1:5901""connect,resolve")

2) noVNC, error:

Connect timeout

No idea. Author (José Pereira) do not reacts there, RC0 is from June 2012, last changes on RC1 has been made in 2013, on GitHub author calls for someone that can continue his work... It seems development was stopped.

It is better to remove link at all. Original (saved) link to Play does not exist any more = links to another app. So droid VNC server app is officially gone.

You may try to contact the author directly: onaips (at) gmail.com

BTW: domain onaips.com was abandoned 17.3.2015

Did you try TeamViewer QuickSupport app?
[Android Apps and Games] SergeGardien:
Thanks for the reply Voland.

I agree. I've reported the problem with the links to the admins.

Yes, I'll try to contact the developer but I guess he's no more involved.

Regarding TeamViewer QuickSupport I've made some tests but I haven't got much (just a black screen and a remote connection manager but nothing more). I've also written a post regarding my experience with the app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836780&page=38#post59595898

I only see pair of links. What I am doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
Hey all, thanks for the replys.

The latest version for the droid VNC server is 0.5c,

brunen9, you are doing it right, but you'll need to install java plugin for browser, if you are using kubuntu you can install sun-java6-plugin package ;)

This is an application that works over TCP/IP, so to work in 3G, you just need to know your external ip and try to connect to it :S but i don't know if it will work.

EDIT: now you can send me debug info from the app
[Android Apps and Games] brunen9:
Thanks for your help. In browser mouse point works on CM6RC2, but phone interpretes clicks as long pressings.

Any chances for mouse working on CM6RC2? And what is source of problem?
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
Hi, i'm using the same version as you, and i'm aware of the problem, but i didn't identify the bug, and don't know if its from the rom or the app...

I'll look into it this week.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] contagous:
When I load the Server on the phone it says its running but give me a 0.0.0.0:5901 IP, so I found what my external IP was using Speedtest, and tried to connect, and VNC just times out and says it can't find server.

I'm on a Droid Incredible running Froyo leak.

Connecting from Windows 7 PC using either VNC or Tight VNC, none worked...

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong or why its not working?

Thanks

*edit*

Finally got the USB method working, This is so awesome, Hope to get the Wifi part working soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] brunen9:
When I turn off the wi-fi and start vnc server it says "conect to 0.0.0.0.:5901", so be sure you are connected to wi-fi when running server.
[Android Apps and Games] MappaM:
I'm on HTC Desire.

- When I connected, all my widgets moved anywhere, it's a big mess :p

- You should make the application compatible with the "server scale" feature. Or just make a parameter on the server. Seeing the screen of the HTC Desire at 1/2 of the real size would be sufficient...

- I have an azerty (fr_be) keyboard, and the "é" keys prints "2"... (using vinagre on Ubuntu)

Anyway, thanks for the works, and I'm really waiting for this application to be more mature ;)
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
Hi, refering to the size of the screen, i'll not add it for now, because will induce cpu eating, and there are vnc clients which support scaling like krdc...

I'll look into the other issues.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] del4:
Got good results with 0.6d on my Sprint Hero while trying the app for the first time today. Only real "problems" I found were that some of the keyboard mappings were off, e.g., when hitting / on my PC, a : showed up instead, and the same for the = key, which always showed up as + regardless of the Shift key status.

Also, I couldn't figure out how to pull down the notification drawer to view it?

Would be nice to have some basic help or keyboard mapping reminders in the app window, e.g., Esc = Back, Right Click = Home. How do we access the Search and Menu buttons on our device through the app?

Very useful when entering lots of data as well as responding to SMS, etc. Thanks for the development!
[Android Apps and Games] djg08642:
Hey all,

This may be my first post (or one of my first posts) but I've been tinkering with my Droid after updating the ROM over the past few hours and couldn't help but stumble upon this gem.

I'm using an original Droid with Cyanogenmod 6 RC3 (Froyo 2.2) and have noticed the following issues while connecting over Wi-fi.

I was using TightVNC Viewer on my desktop (Win7) and connected over the same Wi-fi network with not a whole lot running as far as network hogs go. I tried changing just about every setting in the Viewer that I possibly could to get the best results and just couldn't find anything that would fix the problems I was experiencing.

1) Only 60-70% of the screen refreshes.

2) It's nearly impossible to slide to the next homescreen.

I honestly have no idea how to fix the screen refresh issue although I messed with all the settings in VNC Viewer and nothing seemed to help. I attached screenshots of what I experienced.

Would it be possible in the next version of the VNC Server to ask what type of Android phone you're using and add an image or something of the buttons that are included on that phone? For instance, when I would log in to my Droid, I'd have the Back, Menu, Home, and Search buttons added on?

Also, would it be possible to add keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys?) that would simulate a swipe from homescreen to homescreen? (Left to right and vice versa). I found the only way for me to switch homescreens was to start moving the cursor in the direction I wanted and then clicking and releasing while still holding the left-click button.

I'll admit I'm not that experienced with VNC but I'm itching to get this working on my Droid successfully.

If I can be of any further help or test beta versions, let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Looks a bit like your problem is caused by landscape mode. Tried portrait yet?
[Android Apps and Games] djg08642:
I did... However, the main purpose for me to use the VNC for Android is because I leave my charging dock in the bedroom and use my HTPC in the living room. I can't leave the dock or any cords out in the living room (uncovered) due to a psychotic feline that literally consumes any cord thinner than HDMI.

I work night shifts and am usually sleeping at this time of day. However, there are times when I get so enveloped in updating and upgrading my phone and other technology that I stay up for days and play with stuff like VNC for Android :).

I think when the phone was in portrait mode, it did refresh properly. However, it seems silly for the server to allow you to force rotate the screen if it's not going to refresh properly in the viewer, no?

EDIT: Confirmed that portrait mode does not have the half-screen glitch that landscape mode has. Leads me to believe something needs to be fixed in the app itself rather than VNC considering it provides the option for screen rotation. But again, I really don't know what I'm talking about.

Also, on the Droid, whenever I click "Start Server" or "Stop Server," nothing happens on the screen but the action I requested does occur. In other words, when I click "Stop Server," the VNC server is halted although the screen still indicates it's running.
[Android Apps and Games] del4:
Upgraded to v0.7 and I can now see the status bar, so pulling down the notification drawer is no problem now. :D

Still have the keyboard issues where the following keys don't show up properly: =<>/

Also, still need a way to access the Menu button and some help/reminder of the other button mappings...

Looking forward to v0.8. :)
[Android Apps and Games] MappaM:
Thanks a lot!

But I was thinking that if the size is diveded by 2, in some functions the cpu cost would be reduced, no?

Just an idea...
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
No, because the down scaling to be good needs to do some kind of interpolation, which needs to access all pixels to do it...
[Android Apps and Games] Kings Lee:
Thank you for your excellence piece of work!

Tried droid VNC server 0.7 on Samsung Glaxy S. ROM Version: XWJM5 + Samset 1.9f.

I have not yet tried everything but I experienced a weired problem: whenever I press "G" on my computer keyboard at the vnc viewer, I lock the screen on my android. Running stock remote desktop viewer on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit.

Please instruct me how to solve the problem. I am just a noob.
[Android Apps and Games] MayorA:
Hi ...

I installed droid VNC Server 0.71 on my HTC wildfire.

It works perfectly, thanks.

However I still have two issues:

1. The lower part (about 25%) of the screen is never updated, I have to press refresh on the VNC viewer all the time to get it updated.

Yes: it only happens in portrait mode, if I change to landscape mode using F4 it's gone and works perfectly, however that way it's not really usable.

If this update-glitch is not so easy to fix, maybe it would be a nice option to have an automatic refresh option on server side (like ever half second).

2. Using a german keyboard I have not yet found a way to use a different keyboard layout or an alternative way to enter umlaute using the keyboard.

Thank you for your excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] MayorA:
I just installed VNC Server 0.8 on my HTC Wildfire.

The issue with the partial screen refresh is now gone, perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] djg08642:
So, not to whine... Just posting more bugs I've found. PS, I'm using a rooted Droid with Cyanogenmod 6 RC3.

My screen on the VNC viewer dances. And the Start/Stop Server buttons don't look like they're working but they do work. When clicked more than once, the app force closes.

This is really great; I'm using it with my Epic 4g. With x2vnc, I can just move the cursor off the left of my monitor on to the Epic -- then I have to start guessing where it is. ;) I can't imagine a visible cursor being easy, though.

I noticed some keys didn't quite translate right:

= sends +

! sends ~

~ sends 0

< sends *

> sends #

And, of course (I think this is standard?):

home = home

pg up = menu

pg down = call

esc = back

del = back, also

Awesome app, though! Thanks. :D

I have a Samsung Galaxy S running stock 2.1 and VNC server 0.8. I have the same problem. The "d" doesn't map to anything and the "g" key brings up the lock screen. Is there anyway I can remap the keys?
[Android Apps and Games] ldrn:
I just used the x11vnc man page, but I have a bit of experience with this. I don't know if it's Linux only or not, but on Linux you just do:

x2vnc -west ipAddressOfEpicHere

With adb installed and the Epic plugged in via USB, I do:

adb forward tcp:25900 tcp:5900

x2vnc -west localhost:25900

The west flag makes it go off the left side of the screen; north, south, and east work like you'd expect. :)

Yes, exactly like Synergy. It's perfectly fast and smooth over USB, and probably over other things, too -- this is VNC, technically, but since x2vnc ignores the graphic parts, there's not that much traffic. I think. I've done it over wifi before with my N810 before the synergy port and it was fine, and over bluetooth.

Synergy is what I normally use, but nobody's ported it to Android yet, and I doubt anyone will. x2vnc is older, but works with any vnc server on one end and X11 on the other -- aka, Linux or *BSD, although I imagine it would work with the Cygwin and OSX's X11.app in weird ways.

Blue dots while connected to Droid X

Thanks for the port setting in the latest beta! I got connected to the VNC server running on my stock Droid X running Android 2.1. When I connect using RealVNC on a Windows XP Professional desktop system I get a grid of blue dots on a black background. Click events are getting to the phone because I can see the screen on the phone reacting.

Any thoughts?

BTW - The dots don't seem to be showing up in the screen capture I did.
