This is all done via a system called VNC, which has two parts. These are a Viewer and a Server. The device you want to connect to must have a VNC Server installed and running, and the device that you want to connect from must have a VNC Viewer.


For the purpose of this HOW TO, I am going to use excidio's excellent writeup that he did last year, this will completely cover getting this set up for PC to Tablet connections (NOTE: This only works for Rooted Devices). Also I personally have this set up using the connection via ADB to the device, I have also gotten it to work when both devices are on the same WiFi connection. I have not had success yet getting this to work via VZWs network, either over 3g or when using to 4g device (Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and HTC Thunderbolt) :



Step 1: Preparing your computer
You will have to be sure that you have a VNC Viewer installed on your computer first. Here’s a quick list of programs that can be used:
  • Linux – Remote Desktop Viewer (However, I use the command line). Remote Desktop Viewer is pre-installed in Ubuntu.

  • Mac – Chicken of the VNC.

  • Windows – RealVNC.
Step 2: Preparing your Android device
  • Scan the QR Code at the top of the page to be directed to the Droid VNC Server page in the Android Market.

  • Open Droid VNC Server and tap Start Server.

  • Suggestion – Connect to a wireless signal that your computer is also using. (I have not yet tested USB & Verizon does not support VNC through 3G)

  • Feel free to modify any of the options in Menu > Settings. (I’d recommend a password)
Step 3: Connect to your Device
  • Open your VNC Viewer of choice and type in the IP[Image: clear.png]ort that you see listed on the Droid VNC Server home screen.

  • Type in your password if needed.

  • You should now see your Android Device!

Here are some instructions for using VNC through USB:I have heard that USB will provide a faster VNC connection. With adb installed and the device plugged in via USB:
adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
adb forward tcp:5801 tcp:5801

Using your preferred VNC Viewer, connect to:
localhost:5901
