I would like to update this post... The server IS actually working, but there is an issue with the connection between the GUI and the actual server application. If I kill both vnc processes, launch the gui, and start... it lags and the server actually does launch, but the GUI never reports that it is running. If you look at all processes you see that it is running...

root@cdma_targa:/# ps | grep vnc

ps | grep vnc

app_141 3555 285 131032 34352 ffffffff afd0c5ac S org.onaips.vnc

root 3685 3678 17096 7004 ffffffff 0000d20c R /data/data/org.onaips.vnc

/files/androidvncserver

If you try to relaunch the server from shell or try to start the server from the GUI you get the following:

Sent ~SHOW|Could not connect to IPC gui, another daemon already running?

I'm new to Android development so I'm not too knowledgeable on interprocess communication. Does anyone know what the GUI is looking for when it launches server process in order to report that it is running? Other than this issue, the application is working fine like it did before my ROM update.
[Android Apps and Games] Scotty1:
Try the VNC server from knoxdrdr - see his post a few above this one for link to thread. He's been very active recently, developing it, and as of today, it's working well for me (Galaxy Nexus LTE/CDMA, rooted, 4.0.4). I can see my screen on the PC, click with the mouse to (say) open email, use the PC keyboard to enter text.... excellent.

[Android Apps and Games] mnetwork:
What issues were you having before using this build? The server works, it is just the GUI isn't aware of the server process. I set the serve to start at boot so I don't have to bother with the GUI. Verizon phones are NATd, so I don't have to worry about the security aspect of it.
[Android Apps and Games] Scotty1:
I described them in several posts above. Basically, either black screen (with earlier version of server) or server won't start (with latest version). Done deal now that I have the alternative from knoxbrder. All the best!
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
are you running it on ICS or Gingerbread?

on gingerbread i got also no issues, but on ICS it dont even start the server
[Android Apps and Games] mnetwork:
Gingerbread and the actual server works fine, it is just the relation between the GUI and server for me.

A great job

I am a longtime user of VNC and especially "VNC single click" personalized. That allows me to bypass the router settings from client side ... If we could do the same thing about Android is able to help a person on his mobile and simply help her ... My sister will be reassured

:) 1000 thank you
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
What do you mean by single click?
[Android Apps and Games] mnetwork:
UltraVNC makes it. It is a package you can create that reverse connects to you, used for remote support.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Wolf:
I think he refers to an UltraVNC feature.

Search UltraVNC and "single click" (I can't post links! :mad:)
[Android Apps and Games] onaips:
Well,

I implemented the reverse vnc feature in 1.0a3, are you referring to this? You can access it on the main screen, clicking in menu key.
[Android Apps and Games] mnetwork:
He is talking about launching a VNC client in listening mode and connecting using reverse connect. I'm not sure exactly how uVNC single click has anything to do with this VNC server...
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Wolf:
I think we are making a bit of confunsion :o

UltraVNC SC is a mini (166k) UltraVNC Server that can be customized and preconfigured for download by a Customer. UltraVNC SC does not require installation and does not make use of the registry. The customer only have to download the little executable and Click to make a connection. The connection is initiated by the server, to allow easy access thru customers firewall.

It's a sort of customization of UltraVNC.
[Android Apps and Games] mnetwork:
uVNC SC is actually reverse connection. uVNC is doing the same thing as if you use the "Reverse Connnection" option in this Android VNC Server application. How SC was brought up in this context I do not know. SC and this Android server have nothing to do with eachother...
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Wolf:
Sorry, I corrected. :p

However, they're different things. Or better, single click uses reverse connection.
[Android Apps and Games] deleted21:
tks all

Mr. Wolf Makes a good translation of what I use on PC.

The big diference in all this is to use local network or Internet ... support of local or remote client.

Which causes to the customer = the router setup to enter the local network of "viewer" and go to the correct port "5901".

If it was possible to set "Android Server" with the IP of the PC Viewer that would be great for the customer as no need router setting.

I hope to have been a little clearer in my tumultuous thought ... lol

I was in search of a solution of remote assistance and You have appeared :-)

1000 tks

you're the best,

I did not have the latest version of your app, and that is why I could not find "reverse connection". I'm install 1.0a3 and bingo ... there was everything I was looking for.

I put my uVNC in listening mod

("C: \ Program Files \ UltraVNC \ vncviewer.exe"-listen) I create a shortened / PROPERTIES / target: add -listen

He launches into this port 5500 ( I do not know if it is possible to change).

after I go on my router. I redirect the port 5500 with the IP of my PC.

I run "reverse connection" with my android with my ip. obtained, for example (http://www.mon-ip.com/)

and the viewer opens on my PC. yesss

just one thing. how to adjust the size of the viewer window.

thank you again

It works for me, except the wake lock, currently using docking mode with always keep it alive when charging.

Other thing that I noticed that when I change the screen orientation, that vnc isn't reporting it, only doing weird stuff with rotation (so no resolution switch till reconnect).

virtual keyboard gets fuxored

when I use the Server on Toshiba Thrive AT100-100, it stops the virtual keyboard from working...

I then have to reboot to get the onscreen keyboard back...

probably this doesn't happen with a real keyboard... didn't try that...

but so far my experience has been very inconsistent... I have to try several times to get a connection...

the connection on the server side (I use MAC OS X 10.6.8 as client) does not get dropped when the client closes... and I have to kill it - Chicken worked better for me than ultravnc (when it worked)...

until now I managed to get it in total to work about four / five times I think...

I chose to force the tegra option... then when it stopped working tried auto... no noticeable pattern for failure (or success)...

and the issue on using X11 on to make it work is spurious (incidental...)

that the onscreen kbd gets fuxored might be helpful to the dev...

not many reports on people using the Toshiba Thrive AT100 from the Mac...

of course rooted with 3.2.1 ...

btw when I successfully connected, it was very pleasant on my big 22" screen :)

It is working for me on ICS. I'm running it on SGS2 CM9.

There are several issues, but generally it runs.

- it does not display IPv4 IP address when started, instead it gives you IPv6 address (I'm not using IPv6)

- right mouse button click does not send "back" immediately, but only after consecutive left click ("touch") - the problem is it doesn't performs only "back" but also that click. And that triggers usually some other action (as you don't know where you are clicking at the time when you do it - just to send the "back" command) - I hope you understand my description :-)

Yes you can.

The application is already on the market, search for "droid vnc server", your phone needs to be rooted.

Now you can even control your phone from the browser, you just need to start the vnc server and open on your browser:

Veolo is really a great product but the remote control with integrated keyboard is not as good as I expected...

- With Auto-detect, Framebuffer and Gingerbread settings, the message is: 'cannot open fb device, ...'

- Gralloc setting gives: 'unsupported pixel depth'

- ADB only gives: 'could not start server'

Hope comming version wil fix this so it runs on my Veolo device (or perhaps a hint to get current version running).

Hi, loving this app, but have a small issue down to the way the ZTE Blade (and i think a few other devices) works

Droid VNC Server (and screenshot apps as well) output the screen upside down. Using the rotation 180 feature in the settings puts the screen the correct way round, but the touch inputs upside down. If you could implement the ability to flip the image 180 BUT leave the touch inputs un-rotated that would be awesome.

I've actually got a work around for now with a modded version of .NET VNC Viewer, but having this implemented in the server itself would be best to help others with upside down devices :-)
