This is so old, but I gotta say, it's one of the best threads I've seen on XDA. I spend my time in the Evo section, and some people there just aren't as civil and helpful as you guys. I'm rooting my wife's Hero tonight, this thread has been a fantastic bit of reading. Gonna hook her up with DC and Darchstar's OC kernel. Thanks guys!

Hey , i used to know a lot about the xperia, roms, flashing, but after flashing roms for a very long while, i forgot a lot.

So, this may be a bad question but, how would i flash my stock rom?

When i do so, and go into bootloader mode, it says "No Image File"....

what did i do wrong, and what must i do? im pretty sure i renamed the rom to "kovsimg.nbh". :o
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netant:
are you using Kingston memory card.

if so it wont boot from card, flash using PC method.

Peoples (including me) reported to have problem with Kingston card.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JarekG:
Also make sure you image name is KOVSIMG.nbh on the card (re-name it if you have to)

is your problem already solved with the help you received or does it still persist?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Black'd:
thoughts...

take a backup of things stored in memory card, format it and then paste in it kovsimg.nbh

or maybe the downloaded file is corrupt?

btw I always use nbh with small letters and not caps and never had an issue...

[Touch Pro CDMA] alwezl8:
My sprint/boost mobile HTC Diamond Touch phone suddenly just hung and stayed on the lock slider screen. I cannot answer calls or do anything. I tried to soft and hard reset the device and every time I tried all the reset combination, the phone just kept vibrating for a long time without anything happening. I flashed the rom and when it came back up, it showed the green windows ver 6.1 screen and it tells me to "tap the screen to set up your windows mobile based device"

I have tried tapping the screen with the stylus and nothing happens. Don't know what else to do. I am open to re flash as I have my data backed up and don't mind losing the data. Also my sliding keyboard has stopped working weeks before this recent problem. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help

[Touch Pro CDMA] magicman0:
Which ROM did you flash?

I'm asking this since you posted on the Touch Pro forum.
[Touch Pro CDMA] alwezl8:
HTC diamond touch pro is the cell phone for Sprint.
[Touch Pro CDMA] elektrik2001:
I don't have a ROM preference, but if you're trying to reflash and you can't do it through activesync, all you have to do is connect the TP to the PC w/usb cable, hold down the power and volume down button while pressing and releasing the reset button with the stylus (while leaving the power/volume down pressed). It will keep it in the SPL mode, but you should be able to reflash in that mode.
[Touch Pro CDMA] alwezl8:
Thanks. I took it to a repair store and they told me that the touch screen is faulty and needs to be replaced. They have ordered the replacement screen and hopefully, I will be able to reflash it after.

Some things I learnt.

- Right click acts as "home" button press

- Escape on the keyboard acts as the "back" button

- Cursor keys work fine.

wow i've been researching and looking into a possible solution to windows mobile mymobiler

www.mymobiler.com before making the complete jump to android and your project looks like a really good solution to mymobiler for me compared to the android screencast app

i was looking around on your blog (added it to my rss feed to keep up) i'm really interested in this

i'm a part time android user (dual boot windows and android 2.2) next time I switch over to android I will definitely install this and check it out with tinyvnc

keep the updates coming great job

and if possible add some of the ideas from mymobiler a lot of people are really interested in seeing a mymobiler for android and it looks like your working on a great solution

Hit F4 two more times

I'm also using UVNC. I think F4 is rotating 90 degrees at a time so once=90 deg, second time = 180, third = 270, fourth = back to 0 deg rotation.

I'd also like to see this rotation working.

Nice work on the app - great start!

[Android Apps and Games] jackfrost909:
Works good on EVO but small bug?

Hi,

Using an EVO with Warm 2.2 RLS 4

I've got everything seemingly working well (except rotate :)) but I notice that when I start the server and connect my pc (over wifi) the first time I go Home the home screen app restarts.

It does not happen again during the session and doesn't seem to mess with operation but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Maybe its a Sense thing? Anyone else here using this with a Sense based ROM?

Onaips - Thanks for your hard work. This app is really getting there. If you can figure out how to address the lag over wifi and the rotation issues you've got a winner on your hands.

Peace.
[Android Apps and Games] llllskywalker:
how did you get that to work on your first phone? i have verizon. i rooted my phone and installed droid vnc server, which works fine over wifi. then i installed dyndns and set it up for my no-ip.com account. but when i open a vnc client on my computer and put in my hostname meson.zapto.org::5901, it gives me "failed to connect: connection timed out (10060)"

According to dyndns, it says "IP detected: 10.249.219.162, IP reported: 174.254.1.43". When I ping meson.zapto.org it doesn't respond (icmp is probably blocked), but it does let me know that meson.zapto.org resolves to 174.254.1.43.

So does this mean that verizon is blocking the listening port 5901?
[Android Apps and Games] Keland44:
i have been using this for a whole on my samsung captivate running android 2.2 (firefly 3.0) worked great

I decided to upgrade to cm7 2.3.4 last night and the server will start but it won't let me connect via usb using tight vnc

any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] jacksmind:
How are people getting this to work fine. It is SUPER slow for me I tried:

* changing quality in viewer

* tried browser

* tried USB

using Evo shift with CM7, it just cant speed up to a respectable speed.
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
That's because VNC without window hooks (See TightVNC server on Windows) is slow as balls in general.
[Android Apps and Games] jacksmind:
So why is everyone here singing its praises? Search for 'slow' in the thread and it only comes up 4 times. This is a nice idea in principle but the app is prohibitively slow to the point that the app is useless.
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Because their basis for comparison is VNC on the desktop - not RDP. OK, a little slower than on the desktop, but the same molasses feeling during interaction...

VNC is just slow as balls, and therefore can't be used for everything. I used this app mainly for typing SMS and stuff with an actual keyboard... not much else.

What are you trying to do that it's too slow for?
[Android Apps and Games] jacksmind:
it cant be used for ANYTHING... I'm trying to manage my phone through it--uninstall apps, move apps around, configirure, thinks like that--and its so slow it's unusable.

Maybe you could use it for typing...but if someone was willing to endure the slow hell for an SMS then they should just set up google voice or the carrier's website or the dozens of other SMS sites and just SMS through there rather than waiting 3 minutes to bring up the messaging app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bemymonkey:
Sounds like your slowness is nothing out of the ordinary, TBH. I doubt anyone here has it running faster... they just had lower expectations than you ;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
So... if you have to forward a port in a command prompt, do you need to root your phone for this to work? Thinking of trying it on my new HTC Sensation...

[Android Apps and Games] livnsingle:
This is my first post so bear with me.

I have been using this app with my rooted Fascinate (stock froyo rom) for sometime and it works great. (Doesn't work with my Huawei S7 tablet froyo rom, but I'm not blaming the app). Thanks to the developer for the great work.

I too come from Windows mobile and still use MyMobileR at times to do the same thing as droid vnc server. Maybe I've been lucky, but response time is relative fast for me (about 2s, whereas MyMobileR is about 1s).

For those who can't get landscape to work, I use the free windows vnc client, .net VNC Viewer (google it). I am using version 1.0.1.17. It has screen rotation, client side scaling, and drop down key controls (really convenient). You can adjust the quality under View\ Pixel Size. Once you get it setup you can save the settings. Hint: If the Server says use port say "5901" and you can't connect, try port "1" (it seems to find the correct port automatically).

One other hint, if you want sound, I use a blutooth stereo receiver plugged into the aux computer input. Blackberry makes a good one (google ASY-16007-001) but it's not cheap (I found mine for $3 at Goodwill). But you can get similar ones for as little as $12US (try googling BCK-08 Bluetooth Stereo Handsfree Headset or Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP AVRCP Stereo Music Receiver for Youtube explanation of how to set up). This is off point, but even if you don't use VNC, everyone should have one of these things, they are great for listening to your mobile device sound (e.g., music, videos) on your stereo or PC system, short range of course.
[Android Apps and Games] vwyodapink:
I tried searching to see if this had been talked about already but had not luck.

I am using a HTC Inspire 4g with cyanogenmod, when i use the server everytime i hit shift to type a capital letter it always goes back a screen. How does one set it up so that I can use the shift key normally on my laptop typing? Thanks for the help and great app!!
[Android Apps and Games] MajorMajor:
Out of curiosity, what part of the Gingerbread API makes this possible? I went looking but it wasn't obvious to me.
[Android Apps and Games] xjlx659:
Is that API for VPN, or something better like RDP?

I would love to see a new performant protocol dedicated for screen casting Android devices.
[Android Apps and Games] smart2smart:
Would the new API allow for control as well. My understanding so far is that it is more of the screen capture capability.
[Android Apps and Games] krzych:
Great app, working quite well (only once it soft-rebooted? dunno what was this, but HTC animation was played and GUI reinitialised - it could connect somehow to that iptables blocked it or it was a first run, never happen again), but it could be nice to have keybinding configurator or at least official keybinding descriptions and secondly, maybe more important - screen rotating.

Keep up the good work :)
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
You are right, no control capability for now (i guess there are some devices that allow input without root)

I'm coding a new major version of droid VNC server right now, please stay tuned.

I'll appreciate to hear your most wanted aditions to the app.

In this version:

- Support for tegra2 devices (i'd even say, support for ALL devices)

- No-root access for gingerbread+ phones (dont know yet if the input capabilities will need or not root)

- Auto rotation of the vnc screen with accelerometer

- Speed improvements
[Android Apps and Games] Regis St-gelais:

Great News

Hey, been regularly checking on your blog for updates, was surprised to see you update here first.

Since you have started work, I presume your thesis is all tied up :) All the best on that.

Couple of things which would be nice to have.

1. I would image a lot of users would like to have capability to control the device from their computer with the device beside them, hence it would probably be plugged into the USB port. Currently, either users would need to use port forwarding or setup tethering to get an IP to connect. Would be great if the connection for USB is either simplified or integrated.

2. Extending on the USB connection bit, would it possible to trigger the client component from the PC( similar to the MyPhoneExplorer client) instead of physically starting the service on the device.

3. Ability to have the home and back button on the window instead of having to use the keyboard

4. Ability to save a screenshot to jpg

Please note that this is a wishlist :) Even without all this the application would be great.

Am ok even testing nighly builds on a bunch of devices that we have as part of our testbed. ( LG Optimus One / Samsung Ace / Samsung Tab / Galaxy S / OlivePad / HTC Incredible S)

Have also PM you on some information that might be helpful.

Cheers,

Vikram.
[Android Apps and Games] du.renato:
Awesome app! Would be great to be able to keep phone's actual screen off while it is viewed on the PC...
[Android Apps and Games] pertinax:
Know yet whether root will be required in the next version? Holding my breath on this...

Not sure if this helps or not but the code in this can generate UI events. If they were controlled instead of random you would be able to have remote control without root. h_ttp://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/monkey.ht_ml

(remove underscores)
[Android Apps and Games] smart2smart:
Monkey creates random touch events used for load testing typically. The more relevant API is actually MonkeyRunner along with MonkeyDevice, it works actually without root, however still trying to get together a working app based on this.

Have flagged this to Onaips as well however I believe he is using an alternative implementation. Am eagerly awaiting his build like you :)

Cheers,

Vikram.
[Android Apps and Games] draghn:
I would really appreciate this. Especially if a non-root version worked. On the market it said non-root hopefully in July. I'm crossing my fingers. (I'd pay for it, since I know it's a lot of hard work and it would be a huge plus for me).

Thank you for working on this. :D
[Android Apps and Games] floydlloyd:
Some good ideas brought forth by Vikram

I will start with thank you for a great app.

I've been running it on the following

Nexus S. Clockwork recovery, Netarchy 1.37 CFS Kernel, Stock Gingerbread 2.34. (overclock to 1200 MHz)

Your VNC has been very very stable for me. Reasonably fast (never feel like it is dragging too much) it is not instantaneous like my WinXP / Mac OSX 10.4 remote desktop environments almost are. Would be awesome if it was of course :-)

Have tried several vnc clients and none were able to have screen rotation without complete garbling of video at desktop end. Tried whatever things I could think of to get it to work. Always settled for portrait mode. So glad you will work on that

Suggestions

1. As many "hotkeys" as possible and assignable by end user ? Possible ?

2. Ability to "listen" so other device can start session without touching the phone (reliably)

3. Visit Vancouver Canada so I can shake your hand, light cheek kiss ... however you prefer to display gratitude etc ... LOL

I offer my service as tester if you like because I have been using this VNC of yours everyday.

Please PM me if I can be of assistance.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
That's great! Everything is working perfectly for me on a nexus S on cm7.0.3. My only wanted addition is to scale about 70-80%. At 100% it's pretty huge on the monitor and at 50% its tiny (although still my preferable mode since it uses less screen estate)

Great job on a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] floydlloyd:
+1 for more variable scaling - forgot about that one. Draggable corner type scale would be extra sweet ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
The dragable window depend on the client, not on the vnc server. However the new version will have a javascript based client so you can resize the screen as it is on the browser window.

I need feedback from all to test this little app on terminal, and send to me the output along your phone model and android version.

http://feupload.fe.up.pt/get/5AcrLSjdGACp8ez

This is a preliminary test on non-root based display access so you need to have a Gingerbread+ device.
