control your android mobile with pc or another phone
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 computerYou 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.
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 IPort that you see listed on the Droid VNC Server home screen.
Type in your password if needed.
You should now see your Android Device!
Some helpful things to know:Some possible incorrect keybindings: (I have a feeling this is an Android thing…)
= sends +
! sends ~
~ sends 0
< sends *
> sends #
These are important to know:
home = home
right-click = home, also
pg up = menu
pg down = call
pg down long press = redial most recent
esc = back
del = back, also
end = phone sleep
type = from the home screen random typing will initiate google search
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
