has anyone found a suitable VNC server that works on the G1 android platform? i've been reading a lot of things online but a lot of the reviews i've been reading sound well... "less than informed" about what it's even supposed to do, or they just can't get it working. soooo... i figure if you're on this board who would know better!? i wanna hear some knowledgable VNC viewer/server reviews!!!
vncserver works fine if you install the Debian pieces you can find talked about at XDA. I think this probably requires root access though.
don't remember were I found it but it works for me
That is the vncviewer, and there are newer versions than that one.
Source code and apk can be found at http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/

I know it sounds silly but is there a web server I can install on my Qtek 2020i?
Doesn't have to be a great webserver with php/mysql/ASP etc. Just html will do.
If so who and where can I go about finding it?
MS actually distribute a webserver: The Windows CE Web Server. I've never used it, so can't vouch for its featureset/reliability, but hey, it's there.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...us/wceinet/html/wceinetwindowscewebserver.asp for more information on that.
Ok, so besides from that, there are other options: A popular choice is CEHTTP, available from http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/ishi/cehttp/ . Alternatively, PicoWebServer, available from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/picoweb.html looks like an excellent choice. There's also a comprehensive installation guide for PicoWebServer at http://www.wifizard.com/tutorialsXP/WebServer/ .
Now again, I've not used either of these apps extensively, I've only briefly tried PWS purely to see if it would run ok on my PDA, as the only need I have for a webserver is on my main PC where I do all my web dev work. However, PWS _should_ work just fine.
Nice one, Will give both a test. Hopefully 1 of them should fulfill my needs.
Thanks again.

No worries mate, if you have any joy with either of them then tell me which one you found the best
Hi noob here, lol.
I didnt see any onfo on Pandora for Android so I e-mailed them and heres the response I got.
Hi (insert my name here),
Each version of Pandora software for a portable device needs to be separately developed and approved by the cell carrier. PDA devices like the G1 require extensive testing before they can be certified. Unfortunately that slows the development cycle. I don't know how long it will be for the G1. It's a particularly complicated device.
You can see the up-to-date list of supported Phones at http://www.pandora.com/on-the-go
Thanks for writing. We love feedback and we read absolutely everything!

Looks like they have an app in development for the G1. No info on release time frame, but at least its not the usual no comment you expect to get. Good news as I plan on gettin a G1 in a couple of months and love my Pandora.
Well I'm perfectly happy with Imeem. Works just as well for me imo.
havent tried imeem yet, but since I already have a pretty good station set up on pandora its nice to know that they are aparantly working on something for Android.
Pandora on my Hermes was quite nie - I had just started using it.
I can't wat for an Android version. Last.fm is tollerable (almost), and I haven't tried iMeem, b/c I just want Pandora!
-bZj
That's interesting, because i thought one of the bright spots of the Android platform was that it was UN-complicated to create an app for it. Maybe they're doing it wrong!
Yeah I am using Streamfurious and it does what I need it to. Never had a chance to try Pandora, it will be nice to try on the G1
I would love pandora but Imeem gets the job done and does it well.
Have used SF, last.fm, drizzler and practically every other app for the andriod and it seems to me imeem is the closest thing to pandora.
I'm really holding out for Pandora. I use it on my home PC all the time and I can't wait to have it on my G1.
It may be some what difficult to create a pandora app. The songs are just aac files downloaded over http get requests. However the control channel is encrypted (the control channel being signing in, pandora server saying what song to pay, and feedback, etc). However like any DRM scheme pandora has to give you (the user) a way to decrypt and encrypt the control channel so you can actually use it. This means that the key used to encrypt/decrypt is located in the flash player which gets downloaded to your computer. I have used used flash decompilers and it is there (although obfuscated). The encryption is labeled "blowfish" in the code, however the decompilation was problematic and produced errors in the code. I have used Flasm to look at the flash assembly but have not got very far. It should be not extremely hard to reverse engineer this thing so we can create other players, say on android. However I have not had the time recently. Anyway thought I would share encase others wanted to know information.
I got the JAD for blackberry and the JAR for sprint phones hosted at http://moosefist.byethost2.com/ I tried running them through the J2ME converter available in the market but I get this error
Code:
Error in startnull
"CustomErrorjava.io.IOException: CustomError
at com.netmite,util.AndroidUtils.
downloadURL(Unknown Source)
at com.netmite.ade.MIDletInfo.
downloadApkFile(Unknown Source)
"
Are there any JAVA guru's willing to give this a shot? maybe this deserves a separate more dedicated post in the Development forum...
Really Immem? If you really think it holds even a thought of a candle to Pandora.. then my guess would be that you just hate music or you like the top 100 chart, which by the way Imeem does very well, But trying listing to Nick Cave, or Infected Mushroom, or Iggy Pop, or Choking Victim, or Leonard Cohen.. they have no clue how to make a radio station tailored to the artist, or even artist in the same genre. They have an app for the CrackBerrys on T-Mobile, so my guess is that its not T-Mobile being.. well T-Mobile this time. (what a novel concept)
For the time being we will have to make due with imeem or lastfm
//j
Imeem's variety sucks. Last.fm is nice but is too slow to load over EDGE.

I just got this email from the developer of the J2ME converter
Code:
Hi, Raul,
Thanks for this information, we had took a look at the file in that web site.
There are two problems with it,
1, the jad does not have MIDlet-JAR-URL point to a valid jar file
2, the jar file refers to some custom sprint API.
We can circumverting this issue and will give u a working version in the coming release.
Thanks,
Dana
Hopefully if they get this ironed out we can have a working port of pandora from one of these files. I still invite any JAVA pro's to be them to the punch. The files are at http://moosefist.byethost2.com/ if someone wants to try.

well if t-mo would get a ove on and listen to their customers most of us would have 3G by now. they have been telling me for three years that i would have it in 3G by the end of the year, but this isn't the place for my whining.
i personally like imeem and most of the bands that it puts in the same station as my favs, problem is though that it repeats the same songs over and over. pandora is nice but i never got used to it. it puts all kinds of weird stuff with my favs AFI and Atreyu
yeah, its not t-mobile I am on EDGE, its AT&T's for not adopting the Android platform yet....
I have seen this online many times. I think it could be fairly easy, assuming android uses python scripts, to install this to the program directory. No experience making things like this work, hoping someone can share their input. This would be a cool command to use in terminal.
http://www.beigerecords.com/cory/Things_I_Made/PizzaParty
There is a python version apparently, which might work with the Android Scripting Environment. Unfortunately the only service provider it works with seems to be Dominoes, and in the half dozen times ive eaten Dominoes pizza, i've never been satisfied.
I haven't really done anything on the programming side of things since VB6.0. Learned a bit of C once upon a time, but never really got anywhere.
Can any of you fine Devs here point me in the right directions to begin learning how to program for Android? Remember, please, that I will likely have to unlearn some things, and that I have ZERO JAVA experience. I would love to be able to make some apps to fill gaps that I see in the market.
I am running on a dual boot lappy with Win Vista and Linux Mint 10(Ubuntu derivative). Links or pointers to what I need for both sides will be welcomed and appreciated.
im reading hello android v3 and its great so far.. ive also been going thru android source.. download the android sdk and eclipse for linux and or windows.. i prefer linux as does most devs. ive also registered for night time java classes at the local community college for 13 bucks a semester. anyways goodluck!
This might be helpful for basic syntax stuff.
Start with fattire's link and pick up the Java basics. To read Android examples, you'll need to understand how Classes and Interfaces work as well as how to extend and implement them, respectively. You'll also want to understand inner classes and anonymous inner classes. Understand variable scoping in classes.
Learn how threads work. Understand the implications of multithreading and reentrance. Experiment a lot in simple, stand-alone samples.
Once you've gotten started with Java, you can download Eclipse and the Android SDK. Here's the Android "Hello World" tutorial, which is a reasonable place to start. It has pointers to everything you'll need.
http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html
Android Applications are pretty straightforward once you understand the basics... AppWidgets and Services are less so. The trick is to understand the lifecycle of each -- where and when it's appropriate to do what sorts of work and how to communicate results between different components. It will be rough going in the beginning with a fair amount of crashing as you discover you're taking too long to do something that really should be offloaded to a different part of the lifecycle or a whole new thread -- or when you discover you can't do something you want, directly, because you lack the parts and have to send a message to something that does have all the parts.
My first project was a simple button on the home screen that, in effect, runs a few commands. It took me more than a week to make it work properly, and I was already familiar with Java.
Also understand that some of the examples floating around -- even those from Google employees -- are old and that Android has had some growing pains. Double check the approach suggested by anything that's older than a year. The SDK contains sample programs that make for decent cookbook code.
thanks to all of you...as well as the mod who moved the thread to the correct spot...wasn't sure if this was the correct one.
Hello android (as mentioned above) is awesome! Another good one is Beginning Android 2. Both found here:]

Hello,
let me start by saying i am incredibly unfamiliar with coding and my knowledge of computers is fairly limited. i bought the pi quite some time ago and have been searching for the right OS to suit my needs. as of right now im running OpenElec and it works great. the problem is that i want to be able to run xbmc, remotely torrent from outside my home network, and preferably be able to run a vpn client on there. i tried running raspbian and using google's remote desktop, but chromium doesnt support chrome addons apparently. i saw an article saying windows 10 was going to get a special version for the pi, but just learned it was significantly less than i was hoping for. can anyone point me towards an OS that can fit my needs? i understand it wont be simple to set up, and ill probably have to do a lot of research to get it running smoothly, but i cant even really find a starting point on my own. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you
