Hello xda community !
I would like to share with you a new open-source project i just started. It's goal is to provide the ability to control your android device witch is connected through USB using mouse and keyboard in the same way it can be done on an emulator.
It's quite usable already but quite slow...
To try it, just go there and launch the JNLP file
Requirement :
Java Runtime >= 5
android sdk installed
your device is connected, in debug mode and detected by adb (type "adb devices" to check)
New in 0.4
Fix spacebar problem
Possible fix for droid display problem (keyboard still not working)
More keycodes mapped and shift key fixed
New In 0.3
Improved explorer
Launch URL from your computer
Key events fix
Hardware keys as buttons
New In 0.2
Basic file explorer (double clic on a file)
Video capture
First attempt to fix permission denied (non root device)
Device selection
Feel free to report issues using the issue tracker @googlecode :
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
is this via only pc / linux?
i have a mac lol
but looks goood
it does work on mac/pc/linux great job!

its a very great start! thanks again for this and yeah i do love my desktop =P
bumpp!!! this is dopeeee
This sounds like a must have application
Can't get it to work on my mac. Just get "Unable to launch application." Any
trick to this?
Works pretty well. Typing is in all caps.
My goodness!
It is choppy, but its such an elegant execution of the idea, love it.
Do you think there's much that can be done in future releases for the choppiness?
Well done!
Edit for MattStang: For the 'Unable to Launch application message', try running something like 'adb shell' first to make sure that the adb service on your computer is running
matt_stang : which Java version is installed on your computer ? Maybe you need to update to Java 6.
I'll look at the chopiness issue but this may be quite difficult.
It's not working on 10.5.6 for me. I would go to system update to see if there's an update for Java, but I'm on a hackintosh

You obviously don't have java 6 installed.I've lowered the requirement from java 6 to java 5 since 6 is not really needed, can you try again using this link ?
How do you connect your device via adb?
I am guessing that not connecting it myself is causing my error, however, If I use "DroidExplorer" (another app I am checking out), I guess it does it for me?
If I just launch screencast:
-getting device list
-unable to launch
If I launch DroidExplorer then screencast I get:
-starting input injector
-unable to launch'
If I launch DroidExplorer, connect with it, then screencast I get:
My G1!!
-Thought I would share in case you want to peek at DroidExplorer and see how it auto connects.
OK, this is seriously cool! I normally hook my G1 up to its USB cable and stick it under my keyboard drawer at work, pulling it out when I ... ahem ... "need" it. Now it can stay under there and I can run it from my desktop. Speed is a bit of an issue but I'm sure that'll get worked out. And, sure, there are bugs but those'll get worked out, too. Heck, I'm donating right now just because of how far you've gotten!
what happened to megan fox johnny? haha
This is a huge development ... Well done Can't wait for the keymap to be finished. The choppiness isn't an issue for me, it still feels more responsive than MyMobiler does on WiMo, and for sms it's extremely useful... Well done Keep it coming
Works Great with my HTC Hero! Its a little slow but a great start! Keep it up...

The theme (WAD2) still has a lot left to be done (top bar, bugs, better launcher, all which are being worked on, and some already done).

This is my first theme, so go easy on me
Hopefully I will have the first beta uploaded tonight!
Beta is up! Download from Here and follow the included Read Me file.

Right now it is being delayed due to problems with WisBar (unable to read registry updates) and from school (tons of work). Maybe next weekend I can work on it a little more.

I can't think of why the reg isn't updating, haven't looked at it, still doing my theme, Spb Phone Suite is what I'm using so far. Must be a bug, I figured those would always read good since it's always updated.

Hopefully the developer can fix it soon so I can get back to work on this. I am also having another problem where docks are randomly deleted... so I'm having a bad time working on this
Looks like a pretty sweet theme I'll keep checking back and give it a shot when it's ready. Thanks for the effort man!
I've added an Audio Manager tab (gets info from HTC Audio Manager, and I hope to add play/pause and album art directly to the tab).
I'm also working on the top bar. If anyone wants to help with the windows icon and sound icons, it would be greatly appreciated!
I've also fixed some bugs, added more details to the weather screen, and should have a beta release by Friday. I am currently using this as my default skin, so it is pretty usable now.

LOL! Tell me about it! I spent over 5 hours one night making a theme, then after 30 minutes of playing with it, docks starting dissapearing, so I soft reset. Then the remaining merged!
You'll get it, this 2.0.1 version is much more reliable. I only really had problems with the initial release.
I just downloaded the newest version (I had an older release for some reason) and everything seems to be working better now (and I have registry updates, yay! )
I hope to have a beta release for you guys on Friday. I have to clean up a bunch of icons and their locations, etc. It will use S2P instead of HTC Audio Manager at first, but I hope to have it use HTC Audio Manager instead soon.
I should have a beta out in a few hours!
The beta is now out!

edit: i'm an idiot. ignore
this is wonderful.. good looking, very smooth..

Do you have any bugs?

No, sorry. QVGA only
L.V.H v2.2 is FULLY COMPLETE and on the market!!!
Many improvements from v2.1 with many added features. Such as...
* All files now include the fix for Sapphire and Donut.
* Now includes Old versions 1, 2 and 3.
* Now includes the option to push the Headset Boost
* A few other additions, such as the refresh, kill media, reboot and exit buttons.
* Coding much improved with less issues (hopefully)
* Now displays which version is currently installed on the phone.
* File names changed in DDMS so they can be tracked that way.
* Completely new 'Hero-y' GUI, designed by me

Versions - You can probably guess
Yellow Text - Tells you which version you are currently running, or which you've selected.
Refresh - Refreshes the Text. If it says 'V2 selected', for example, pressing this will change it back to show which version you are currently running.
Restart Media - Button to restart the mediaserver manually. Not really needed, but might come in useful.
Reboot - Reboots phone
Exit - Exits the application
Make and Restore Backup - Does what it says on the tin
Push - Go to...
...Push Menu!
Yes - Pushes selected version WITH the Headset Boost
No - Pushes selected version WITHOUT the Headset Boost
Cancel - Returns to the main screen.
App is available on the android market, is currently at version 2.2, and costs £1.50.
I am also planning to create a 'lite' version which will have limited functionality, if i have the time!
Check my signature for a link to the cyrket page!
great cant wait whats the eta i love your app
Should be done within the next few days, tomorrow if i get my act together
Had a day off from uni today so i got all the coding, GUI and everything else pretty much done. There's a few bugs to iron out, like the reboot button not responding correctly and there's a problem with pushing the files when the headsets plugged in thats a bit irritating and i can't seem to fix, but other than that everything's fully completed
cool dont rush it man you do an awesome job
Thanks to your app my phone is louder than my friends T-Mo HTC Touch Pro2's speaker mode, awesome!
V2.2 is completely finished!!
Currently testing for any major bugs that may be present, so if you wish to test (and ultimately receive a free copy ) please contact me.
Please note, not everyone will be chosen to test the app as i've had a lot of requests.
Cool.
Is an EQ app still on the horizon ? You said you were going on Vacay when I asked. Didnt follow up much so not sure if it was bypassed.
Sort of/maybe. it depends if we can get the new labeled audiopara working properly
And it's on the market now people, go download
love the new version, it seems like the headset booster even works over bluetooth. I did find one bug that most people probably wont even notice because i wouldnt have if i didnt have my keyboard open when I opened the app. If you slide open the screen the welcome message will pop up again and also a message saying "all back ups have been made successfully and then another message saying "app refreshed". It will keep happening every time you open and close the screen. Not a major bug but figured I would let you know. Keep up the great work!

1) get the full ubuntu on webtop hack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000316
2) use synaptic to download (I personally used xfce4 desktop "xfdesktop" and the panel "xfce4-panel")
3) go to /osh/usr/local/bin/ in terminal "cd /osh/usr/local/bin/"
4) sudo gedit
5) in gedit, open start-oshwt-2.sh
6) coment out (# in front of the line) of:
sfalv -i "awm-autostart"
sfalv -i "webtop-wallpaper"
7) add sfalv -i "<Program you want to fun>"
<program you want to run> would be fbpanel, xfdesktop, xfce4-panel, gnome-panel, etc.
8) restart the phone (or go to terminal and run "startx")
Thanks _Dennis_

Hm yeah, I couldn't get that to run. I'll have to check it out. My way has a super tiny footprint but all in one package is MUCH nicer.

Yup, I ran out of room on webtop is why it wouldn't install. But fbpanel is the taskbar guys. And ask questions in the thread not in PMs.
I'm wondering how I can get the taskbar and desktop interface alone vs. with the webtop dock included.

Great!!
I´m waiting!!
Thanx man!

Issue is that AWN (The Dock) covers up the taskbar's. We would have to find a new Dock, or somehow set AWN to not cover it. AWN also uses up precious system resources.
I didn't forget about the guide, just some personal matters came up I'll write it I promise
so, do we get the how-to? some of us are waiting with bated breath. Linux n00b here.
I really want this!
Yeah sorry its taking so long, my mother went in for brain surgery so i've been hanging out in the hospital a bit. But all went well and shes up walking around now
So maybe tomorrow, i'll get on that guide.
Whoa Man! I say take care of your Mom. Thanks for the advanced look at this. Might just convince me to keep the silly LapDock for a while longer to check it out. I wish your Mom the best.
I'll do a quick and dirty toutorial to get people going and you can take your time helping your mom.
1) get the full ubuntu on webtop hack
2) use synaptic to download (I personally used xfce4 desktop "xfdesktop" and the panel "xfce4-panel")

Hey Dennis,
Thanx!
I´ll try when I come home.
Hey Dennis!
It´s really works!!
Thanx!!!!!
No problems....Yellow is the one to show me the files to change etc in IRC.....Thank him not me, I just wrote it up because he needs to take care of his personal life.
Yes,
I´ll thanx por Yellow and tell him to take care of his mother, but my english is ot good.

Where are you supposed to find the IP of the device?
Just for Windows I see but that's cool I'm going to put it on my girls computer to helP her do some stuff more easily. I wish I knew how to break down components that make up .exe's and recompile them for LINUX.that is along the lines of the types of fun stuff I'm striving to learn in my LINUX journey.

I'd like to know what ip you want too... because it definitely didn't want the LAN address of my phone.
The UI is deceptive. You don't need to click the connect to button (and I'm not sure it even works properly). Just click on the Android (like you would when you setup the phone) and it will extend the UI and open up the options. They work and they are pretty useful. I think if the guy wrote up a nice little how to I'd probably kick him a few bucks.
!!!
This is actually a phenomenal package, and works great w/ the Bionic. Thank you for posting this, didn't expect this in the dev section and glad I found it.

Hi,
My first android device was a nook color and purchased on day one. This was the forum that got me all started to develop on the android platform. Since then I have worked on a location base app that make full use of Google map to find locations nearby. It has been fully tested with the Nook color using CynogenMod 7. It probably works with other flavors but I haven't test it yet. Please comment if it works/doesn't work in other Nook color Mods.
BTW it is FREE of course.
Here is the link to the app posting:

Thank you to all who have inspired me!

If you've posted it early last week, I would have tried it already. Now, I'm back.
Anyway, thanks for app, keep it going. I'll give it a try later.
Hi Votinh,
please do give it a try and any input you might have will be appreciated.
Thanks,
F8
I tried to use it over the thanks giving weekend driving between LA and San Diego. Saved some time to look for diapers in a nearby Target store
BTW though your description says "* Featuring "Peek ahead" at other destinations." I could not find it. I could pan the map, but did not see any stores beyond certain point. Is it limited by distance? Say
it would be nice if I can look ahead for destinations e.g. I'm in between San Diego and Carlsbad on I5 and I want to find stores in Carlsbad, well specifically Dunkin Donuts. Having directions to that place from my location would be nice too.
dumble_bee,
If you know where you are heading, you can pan the map to the location, touch the map and hold(2 seconds). It will center where you touched and will display what is near by based on the new location. You can also increase the viewing radius setting in preference to see further out, but you probably already know that.
Hope this helps.
F8
OK, I tried that, but then how do I go back? After a while it goes back to the old place. I have to then "touch and hold" again and again. Bit annoying.
This has potential, but why no support for landscape? I'd love to see that!

dumble bee,
When you pan the map or center on a different location, it will recenter after 60 seconds when you no longer interact with it. But if you like to go back to your former location, you can just Tap Tap(tap the screen two time quickly), it should put you back right away.
Hope this help,
F8
Thanks Mate! I understand. Just have to finger the thing from keep moving.
A food for thought, maybe something you can provide as a feature and name it after me
it'd be nice to remember my choices of press-&-hold, bring those up and let me select one, I usually move and look ahead at limited area's, mostly starbucks at a location that I'll be meeting my clients.
