Hey recently ive decided that I want to replace my stereo in my car with a mac mini and an external tough screen. I first thought I would try to use the HDMI feature of the Evo to view my phone on the screen, but I would want it to be interactive on the screen. So then I decided I should find a program that will allow me to use my Evo through a usb cord so the Evo displays on in a window on my mac or windows pc and i can interact with it from there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? Or does anyone wanna take on this project?
There is a thread on this topic in Q&A. I saw it maybe 2 days ago. Has a few suggested apps to control your evo via pc or vice versa.

hahaha i know. but those run through the web and i cant share the same connection if im creating the wifi form my phone.
and the ones that i found that go through usb, which is 1, refreshes and 4 frames a second =/
you could wire up a wifi router..
Here's the thread he was talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971209
Anyway...
I used this: Droid VNC Server (FREE, requires root)
And this: VNC® Viewer Free Edition 4.1 for Windows (also free)
It's pretty choppy, but it works.
If you don't have Windows, pretty much any VNC viewer will work, there's lots of them out there (Google it).
Appreciate it. And yea. The last two days I've been doing research and trying out different ones, and everything had been laggy or choppy. I made this hoping to find a hidden gem that worked perfectly or someone that knew how to get it working flawlessly

Try mymobiler, it works perfectly for me. Just go google "mymobiler", it is the first result comes up.
Google android screencast, as long as your phone can be detected by adb it works great!

title says it all, any freeware packages out there?

thank in advance
Edit:
can a mod please move this thread?
You want to control the phone, from your PC? Hmm.. I don't even know if it's possible. Kind of a reverse remote desktop but a remote phone instead. Huh. I think the limiting issue will be that you would need an app that always runs on the phone. I know you can lock it, track it, wipe it, etc with WaveSecure, but actually control it? Beyond accessing files and folders, I don't know that you could remotely control the phone.
This should probably go in the apps and themes forum rather than Q&A, if there's an app out there they might know of it.
It is not free but Phone my PC worked great on the Hero, have not checked with the Evo as we have no trackball.

Yeah, I love PhoneMyPC, I use it all the time. $10 very well spent. But that controls your PC with your phone, he wants to control his Phone with his PC! So were backwards here.
So I searched but couldnt find the answer. I am looking for the app that lets you control your phone from the computer. Its not screencast or remote desktop. It was an app that would give you an IP address to go to from your computer and up would pop the home screen of your phone. I charge my phone in another room and run wifi tether and would love to see whos texting me and be able to reply among other things without having to get up every two minutes. I had it before and flashed a rom and thought that titanium backup had run but it didnt so I lost it. Thanks for any help.
Well I would recommend Remote Desktop (I know you mentioned it), it is an awesome app that I use all the time, it lets you send sms messages. I think the one you are thinking of is called PicMe. It's ok, pretty sluggish IMO. I really think Remote Desktop is the best app for this type of thing.

I like remote desktop but you cant tell when you get a new text or whos it from.
edit.I do remember the one I had being a little sluggish so that might be it, haha.
Good thread. There's an app called Browsix that has a built-in sms client. Check it out.
Try webkey

webkey looks awesome just worried about the lag
webkey is exactly what you're looking for. When i used it I didnt see any lag. Kind of wish they had an option to alert you on ur computer screen when you got a text but maybe I just didnt select the right settings

Just tried webkey and HOLY ****... how secure is this program? I have my doubts...
Picme, it's kinda slow though but does work. Paid version is secured.

What makes it unsecured? What can happen using it unsecured?
edit: cant find the paid version.

Its as secure as your password. Set your custom login and password and you should be fine.
ehh i like browsix for texts. But webkey is better besides that.
Try This...
I believe the app you may be looking for is called "droid VNC Server"....
I have it and have tested it to work with the Evo.

Best Way?
Get a browser that supports adblock.
Some people were saying that if you're a Recognised contributor you won't get ads (I never had them in the first place because I use adblock)

Whoa, who uses IE nowadays anyway? Chrome + Adblock is all you'll ever need.

THIS is not my Question!

There is another way to stop ads, and not sure how well it works, and since I don't use it.
Google for "adblock hosts file".

No need to be so defensive. I tried to help you get rid of both the adverts which are annoying you and the horror that is Internet Explorer. Plus, if you have an Android phone (chances are you do, being on XDA) Google is already 'watching you', and far better on your phone with all of the location data and stuff than on your PC . Speaking of Android, using Chrome would give you much better integration with your phone (again, if you have an Android phone)
Hi everyone,
i'm new around here. I've been searching on google for a while now but i can't find what i wanted to search for, so i decided to post a thread.
Does anyone know how to turn Xperia Play into a game console on Mac? and is it possible ?
What i meant by game console is: playing games on mac by controlling with the Xperia Play.
By the way, i'm not a native speaker . Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks
A quick google search revealed a free app called "AIO Remote". It claims to be compatible with linux, pc, and mac.

Tried messing with AIO for a couple hours to get my play working on my PC, couldn't figure it out though. I feel like there has to be a way to make this work with the PLAY. Someone a bit more tech savvy should check this out and make a profile and upload it, because I'm stumped. That would rule.

Did you tried PC con app?
You have to be on same wifi network as PC. It works on Windows, but program for PC is java file that, when started, it opens window in browser with settings for connections. I don't know if Mac have java support, but you can try it
App is not perfect, but once connected, you can map keys in app that you use in game (like, WASD is up-left-down-right).
Touchpads don't work on ICS, but it might work on gingerbread (didn't test that app a long time)

There are apps like "mirror" and "weak control" but the main issue is that screen recording may not work on your galaxy s2 depending on what rom/version of android you are using. You can then use a google chrome plugin to view the stream from the computer.
But i do know that using mirror op sender on your phone and mirror op receiver on your pc seem to work regardless of whether the others work. I suggest that you set the codec to .h264 and set the quality to medium otherwise you will get an appalling frame rate.
more quoestion
can you tell me where can i find these google plugin?? you have some guides in youtube?
VNC Server
Search "droid VNC Server" on play store. I can't post any links yet.
Needs root access though
