Hi,
I've been wondering, I remember with my Sony Ericsson P990i that there was a program I could install on my PC that would have a window which mimic'd the phone and allowed me to remotely control the phone. This was great while the phone was docked as I could type out messages and everything with my computer and not have to un-dock the phone. Is there any program or method of achieving a similar solution for the Streak?
Thanks!

..... and nevermind, after trying, its upside down, and the touch controls dont work... stupid streak, lol
Hi jmhalder,
Thanks for the reply.....so androidscreencast doesn't work with the Streak?
Any other options or a way to get this to work?

Oops
jmhalder - how have you managed to get this to work at all with your Streak (got it right this time) as I keep on getting:
java.lang.RuntimeException: SyncService is null, ADB crashed ?
at net.srcz.android.screencast.injector.Injector.uploadAgent(Injector.java:67)
at net.srcz.android.screencast.injector.Injector.init(Injector.java:177)
at net.srcz.android.screencast.injector.Injector.access$0(Injector.java:171)
at net.srcz.android.screencast.injector.Injector$1.run(Injector.java:27)
I've installed Java SDK 6 and everything seems to be working and I've installed Android SDK to my C drive and I've ran adb devices and it sees my phone (on my Windows 7 64-bit). However, whenever I run any other command (e.g. adb remount) I get the line "error: closed"
I've tired this with the Dell Suite installed and uninstalled, as well as having the phone unrooted and rooted Any ideas?
No idea, it worked on mine, rooted and on 2.1... but the screen was upside down and it wouldn't let me control it via cursor actions on the PC... I've only had the "error: closed" with a borked install of android on my streak where it wasn't bootable... I'd make sure the "tools" folder is listed in your PATH...:
follow this thread and do #2

jmhalder do you think it may have something to do with you having a US astreak and Keethos having a UK model?
There's a VNC server in the Market for rooted Android devices. It worked pretty well from mthe limited testing I did.

I know I can use VNC to control my PC via my phone but can I do the same the otherway round i.e. use my PC to control my phone via VNC?

Yes, that's what a VNC "server" is, and why root is required. Your Streak is the server, being remote controlled by your PC. Sort of like the Soti remote controller from the WinMo days (if you were ever there).
I didn't test/play with it much, not sure how functional it was.
Search for VNC in the market, it should be there.
^^ Cool dude, I might give that a try then!
I've actually managed to get it working now....I had a quick search on how to screen capture and a lil guide said to turn on USB debugging on the phone which I had completely forgot about and after doing so it started workin Now a way to try and get the rest of the app to work i.e. the upside down screen and controls
EDIT:
Ooo managed to get the controls to work YAY this was probably the main thing that I wanted to work, not overly fussed about the screen being upside down as I can just look at the phone while I type. I had to give full read and write permission to the "/data/dalvik-cache" folder (ticking the read and write of others as all other boxes were ticked), and all of a sudden it start to work.

So is this using this http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/ or the VNC server market app?
thanks.
Sorry dude, it's the android screen cast thing, spent all night trying to get it working so not managed to try out the VNC thing. Might give that a go tonight.
Hey there XDA Community,
I open this new question thread, because similar ones are not as specific and/ or posted in sub-forums for phones. However, Androidscreencast is a cross-phone program.
Androidscreencast is a java programm that allows you to connect to your Android phone through an USB connection. I think you need ADB and root access for this.
I am searching for something like this that also supports German charakters like umlaute (ä, ö, ü).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The app "My Phone Explorer" is said to be able to do this, although I didn't try it.
http://mymobiler.com/ also offers this Feature and works pretty well, after a few setting changes and restarts of the executable, also with umlauts.
However, I went back to Androidscreencast since it does not need an app and I realized it's convenient enough to use my phone for everything but typing with my finger and it's not so bad that I can't have umlauts.
I have old samsung vibrant broken screen rooted phone. Every thing is working fine so I want to use it as android box on my TV
I tried lot with androidscreencast but can get mouse and keyboard working tried all suggestions on forums and googled it every where. Few things i am looking for if can be done using adb commands
1. Want to disable lock screen
2. Want to enable tv out setting using adb
3. Want to configure any app like airdroid which can be used to control android from browser as most of such apps require you to manually start over phone to be able to make connection.
Any help please searched forum but could not found post for complete solution I am sure people may want to use old broken phone to be used to make smart android tv.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
You can download droidjack on your pc and then create an apk using droidjack and install it on your target phone
Possibilities with droidjack are limitless and insane
But remember use it only for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES if you don't want to get behind bars.

Thanks, but as I can see it is paid.
With AirDroid I could connect remotely and control my device
I was hoping that someone can help me with a couple of Ready For questions:
Wanting to try out Ready For PC that is present in the newer Motorola phones, does anyone know if it is possible get the APK and try it out? This phone does wired Ready For just fine when used with an external display.
I also wonder if anyone has any app recommendations or knows of any apps that allow the use of widgets on the Ready For desktop when connected to an external display? I really like being able to dock my phone and use the phone simulator on the display while opening up another app or two to use while working, but I think using the standard desktop widgets would be killer. I have tried a few apps meant for DeX without much luck, the only one that has been useful is SecondScreen to change the density of my 3200x1800 14" touch display that I am using with the phone.
