VNC server for android - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

Hi there.
I've been searching for this, but can't find any info about it except an unstable source-code app, that has to be compiled before working.
I'm looking for a working VNC server for android. Especially HTC Hero. Just something like Veency for iPhone.
Or an other way to remote control the phone from the desktop. Is it possible...

i have patched something into the kernel some time ago, but only keyboard input was possible (search for kkernel on this forum). also there was something called fbvncserver, but irrc it had the same problem (only keyboard input). there is a precompiled binary in the downloads, just try it.
edit: now that i look at it those are both the same project. you need the binary AND the kernel. like i said search for kkernel and you shall be enlightened. i remember another binary to be included in some mcr builds, drop me a pm tomorrow and i'll have a look, i am on the train right now...

IT Pros Needed to Test Mobile Monitor Application

I have a new project I'm working on for an application that allows me to do quick checks on server availability from my AT&T Tilt. This is the first version of the software and I'm looking for suggestions on improvements, bugs, etc. The software has been tested on Windows Mobile 5, 6, and 6.1. More information available at http://www.liquidcaffeine.net/downloads/am2008f.htm
The application is available in a PC Installer version as well as a CAB file and is posted at:
http://www.liquidcaffeine.net/downloads/AlertMe2008FWE.zip (PC Installer)
and
http://www.liquidcaffeine.net/downloads/AlertMe2008FWE.CAB (The CAB installer also requires the OpenNETCF to be installed as well (http://www.opennetcf.com)
Point release update includes:
o Log Viewer Tab (see new screen capture)
o Option to email log (note - this requires Pocket Outlook to be configured with an account)
Please post any suggestions you may have.
Looks good I'll have a look at it and test it our servers.
Thanks

Yea looks really promising I'll give it a shot too. Something to do in my meetings.
its nice to see apps that cater to webmasters.. something ppc's lack. im *trying* to cook some sftp+ssh app myself.
i think a cool feature in your app would be to schedule automatic checks on the site ever X minute with status/log info. perhaps even an audio/visual alert option that notifies you when it's offline.
i see this checks for http, but does it check for the right http 200 code? reason i ask, is sometimes a website http can be "online" but throwing out http error, which should report back as "offline/problem"

Initially this was meant to be a scheduled application. This release was to test viability. As soon as I can dig up the details on how to schedule the application, I'll release the point release with this feature.
I'll look at adding the parsing of the response to check for the 200 code. There is a log file that gets generated, and I will be adding a menu function to both view and email the log.

Sorry about that

Gotta love Windows Permission settings - ugh. The downloads shoudl be working now.
Point release Available
The new version allows for viewing of the log file more than anything else. Also, both the CAB and PC installers include the required OpenNETCF CAB, so things are cleaner on the install.
The emailing of the log file requires a Pocket Outlook account to be setup. I have only tested this with an Exchange server setup, so anyone running IMAP/POP/etc, let me know if it works. It should default to the first email setting in POutlook.
Next version should hopefully have the scheduling ability.
You said you're working on implementing a periodical checker.
Good. Better yet is SMS on error, or E-Mail on error (or both.) and option to play audible alert.
That way you could SMS yourself to grab your attention, or just use the built-in feature to play a sound. You could also have it E-Mail someone in your organization or perhaps your data center (with a predefinable template no doubt!) that the server is off line.
I work at a datacenter as a sysadmin, and I do think these features could go to good use.

Yep. As soon as I get the scheduling piece down, then the fun begins. At that point, failures will be alerted via a choice of alarms (siren type MP3s requested <G>), vibration & SMS/MMS/Email.
I also want to do as the poster above suggested and actually parse the results for other, discrete errors (ie: Web server is online, but a 404 is received).
Also, if possible, color coding the log as well.
SQL Server CE or XML?
Got the scheduling portion down and now have a question for folks who would use the app.
Which would you prefer, the use of SQL Server CF or just a local XML file to store the list of servers and ports to scan?
I can see benefits of both, but would like your feedback.
I'm downloading it right now and will give it a try. As a Linux system administrator, I would urge you to avoid using a vendor specific file format for anything. Go with xml. Any administrator who can't deal with that should seek a new line of work, anyway.
"This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device."

Ah-hem, What ROM are you using, You might try to update to the newest NetCF
Apparently, The CAB installer also requires the OpenNETCF to be installed as well (http://www.opennetcf.com)
I tracked down the package I needed from Microsoft and now AlertMe is working. It seems a small but useful tool, though definitely not a replacement for Nagios.
The immediate thing I noticed is it doesn't remember the checkboxes selected when you pick the domain/ip from the history. That would be a nice little feature.
Looks nice. I haven't downloaded it yet, but on the second screenshot tab can you add a "custom" option to put in a port that isn't listed?

Duh - don't know why I didn't think of that. It will be added to the next release. I'm fighting off a bout of bronchitis at the moment, but hopefully the next release will be in a week or so and include this along with the scheduling.

XML is the easier way to go. This should also allow you to bull the "jobs.xml" over to a PC for easier editing. Then push it back to the device.

market VNC?

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/

[DEV] Blackstone Linux / Android Development

This thread is for development discussion only. If you are not actively working on the project, please go to the discussion thread where your contribution will be more valuable. By keeping this thread clean, we can hope to get Android working on our devices much quicker.​
Project Status:
We now have a 2.6.27 kernel which is capable of booting Angstrom and Android. Android looks good and is responsive, but most core functions are not there yet. Work is focused on kernel development to provide us with a stable base with working hardware. You can find test files in the second post.
We have a Wiki page where the project gets documented in some detail.
History
The development had a slow start while Orux worked out how to make the mdp talk to mddi to get a working display. We hope that progress will be faster now as there has been considerable work on the Diamond and Raphael hardware, which is quite similar to the Blackstone.
23Feb09
Screen problems fixed at last - many weeks work from Orux got the mdp talking to mddi and give us a working display.
03Mar09
Wow! So much progress in just a week! We now have working SD (some issues with brands of cards - under investigation), allowing booting direct from the SD card; working hardware buttons, and some GSM functionality (the network connects and reports of sending SMS successfully). Credit to Orux, Pichurri, Cybersalsero, Jonlar (and have I missed anyone out - not me, I have been spectating!). Pichurri has posted a full install package on teh wiki, go try it and give feedback in the testing thread.
(to be continued!)
Current tasks
Debugging SD card problems many ppl having
Getting our own version of Android (currently using builds optimised for Raph/Diam
More GSM functions - who will be first to make a call???
What can I do?
You tell us! First thing would be to get yourself set up with a development environment. You need Linux on your PC - either installed as the main OS or if you use Windows, in a virtual machine (eg Virtualbox). Then follow the instructions on the wiki to get the sources and latest diff.
Reserved for files
Here you will find the up to date files related to the project.
Pichurri's full 2.6.27 install package is on the wiki here
You should correct the posts: 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 is the kernels used. More info: www.kernel.org

We are using 2 kernels:
2.6.25 --> htc-msm-2.6.25 branch in git.linuxtogo.org. This is the kernel that we are testing in our machines these days.
2.6.27 --> htc-msm-2.6.27 branch in git.linuxtogo.org. Where we will stay in a few days. Better kernel, more improvements. Here is where people from other projects are working now.

Sorry, my mistake. Typed the message above late in the night.
But in the first and second post in this thread it says 2.2.65 and 2.2.67.
Thanks, was posted in a rush, just pm me if you see more errors. We use the odd numbered dev kernels, they will always have the most recent stuff.
A challenge for someone who likes graphic drivers:
I think linux is using ~10% of epson controller capabilities.
We have a lot of information about this controller, and open source code from epson.
Perhaps someone would like to work with this stuff.

Do you mean things like picture-in-picture? Would be good later on in the gui - multiple desktops, that kind of thing. Also I noticed the Epson controller handles TV-out. Do we know if the out-connection exists for this, or have they just not connected it up?
Another thing to consider maybe USB on-the-go - the MSM72xx supports it; if (big if) the usb port has the right connections, it would be possible to mount external storage.
But I think it's more for later on - core functionality would be about making calls, sms, GPRS/3G. Let's see what we get from the latest kernel. Orux have you talked to the RAPH/DIAM guys on irc about merging?

what makes you believe that?
whatever makes you believe it, share it!
if you have anything like docs,etc to share or point to lets have it !
Blackstone has got 2 graphic processors:
--->mdp, inside the chip. We have drivers in the kernel (mdp.c, mdp_ppp.c ...) I am not sure what capabilities are being used in current kernel. There are not good docs about mdp processor (I haven't got any useful).
--->epson controller. It can do:
• Picture in Picture, Transparency, Alpha Blending
• Image Rotation (90°, 180°, 270°) and Mirroring
• Scroll Assist
• AME (Auto Movie Enhancement)
• Supports up to three layers
• Image Doubling
• Bi-Cubic Scaling (1/2x ~ 8x)
• Over/Down Sampling Scaling (1/8x ~ 8x)
• Edge Enhancement
We don't have driver support in current kernel, but we have docs and source code from epson (link posted in discussion thread).
Htc Touch Pro has a tvout usb cable adapter, and seems to work in linux! I don't know if this cable works with our device.
USB on-the-go: interesting TODO.

OK, OK! These things take time - we all have other jobs I guess. We plan to get any open source docs online in a systematic way, we just need to figure out a reliable way - ie not RS etc. And we have to be careful of proprietry materials - we don't want copyright lawyers after us...
If anyone wants to offer us some rock solid webspace, that would be awesome.
TODO: Investigate instability of screen
I think that problems with screen are caused by onscreen keyboard. This keyboard is an excellent hack, but it is not 100% integrated with android.
We need to test a kernel without it.

I don't think we need to put all the docs at the same place, just add links at the bottom of the wiki, either hosted or link to website.
I can provide hosting if you need, just pm me.
repository
what do you guys think about creating some kind of repository(git or svn) to upload and share our blackstone kernel? i think it would make development much easier if you could see changes of other people immediately. we could use github or sourceforge.
I also think the On-Screen Keyboard is a problem.
Earlyer today I was goofing around in Android and every time I moved the keyboard, the graphics started acting very weird.(scrolling, not updating etc.)
When I hit F5 on the OSK, it would refresh Android and go back to the home page and the screen would be normal again.
Maybe route the OSK to a pip on the epson?
It's git for kernel dev, anyways svn sucks (inc troll)
If we set up a git, we'll need a guy working as a maintainer and pulling from everyone. This may become usefull when people start working in many different areas of the kernel, but for now diffs are better as they can be easily shared, and there's a howto in the wiki.

Now that my friend, is a stunning idea (if it can be done simply). How does it relate to the Android OSK mentioned by xmoo? I guess the linux one is low level whereas the Android one is basically an app in the gui. Advantages to both, but if it works out of the box, the android one would mean we could essentially get rid of the linux one. We have ssh if we want to type in a console (or maybe android terminal app?).

Android Access Database

Here we go:
I use a number of Microsoft Access Databases for my work, and each one is intensely coded and designed and basically run like actual programs. What I am looking for is to be able to take these databases with me. Now understanding that Microsoft and Android are two completely different beasts, what I really am looking for is the ability to take the tables (I use all Back-end database so all my tables are in a completely separate file then all my forms, queries, and reports) and the data with me and be able to run them in a program on Android that keeps the relationships and fields and all of that sort of stuff.
Now what would be great is the ability to use forms (even if special forms for android need to be made), run queries, and even be able to run reports and print as PDFs.
now I know how to code in VBA, hence the extensive coding I have done in Access, so anybody willing to WORK WITH in creating an Android Program to basically be an extension of Microsoft Access please contact me. Please not I use the words WORK WITH loosely, while I am trying to learn how to Program for Android, I currently do not have a computer that I can use to develop programs for android on, and well I would be only able to create the "Hello World" starter program and this project seems a slight bit more complicated. But what I can bring to the table is real world experience in testing and using the program day in and day out, a number of already existing Microsoft Access Databases ranging from Complex to Simple that I use every day. Really a program that can run Microsoft Access Tables on Android would be really useful to me and I am willing to do anything to help make this happen.

I think we must have the same job
Android utilizes an sqlite database engine and it looks like sqlite already offers a conversion utility HERE. The real question would be how to get the data in and out of the phone. Regarding forms, they definitely would need to be custom built.
Thanks this is deffenetly a start, From what I can tell this This Looks to be the most promising, It looks like all you would have to do is put a MS Access Database file on your SD CARD and have a program access it. That way you copy it back and forth. Unfortunately it doesn't support Access 2003, but I can save down. I also got a lot of learning to do in programing Java programs.
Forms would be as simply as making a program, this is great thanks much

I would like to say, "yes, please!" to this idea. I currently use Smart List to Go (the descendant of ThinkDB) on my Palm TX. The TX is dying, and I've been shopping for a replacement. HanDBase exists for the iPhone, but I don't want an iPhone. So I've been focused on WinMo - not by choice as much as by necessity.
And android option would be very welcome around my computers.

Exactly and we're talking about creating an app that would enable manipulation of an sqlite database. Essentially all that would be needed would be to create a ui framework wrapper for the existing api in android. Not the least monumental task I've heard of an individual taking on but not the most either.
The versions of pocket office that I've seen for android do not currently support Access databases as far as I'm aware. If I'm wrong could you post a link and save everyone some trouble?

Jackcess library is now patched to support android (will be in 1.2.2 release). Also seems to support 2000, 2003 and 2007 formats now.
Works great for me.
View jackcess site. Couldn't find anything on support for android. I'm using htc desire and would really like to find program to view ms access file. Can you tell me how you do it?
As I remember reading worked as on PC, while writing had some problems.
This forum prevents me from linking directly, but if you click tracker/patches on Jackcess project, check Android Compatibility Fix - ID: 3101578
The changes are in trunk and will be in the 1.2.2 release. I've added some
notes which will eventually make it to the FAQ page on the website
detailing the compatibility steps:
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.broken
Nio=true"
- Set the system property "com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resour
cePath=res/raw/"
- Copy the *.txt, *.mdb, and *.accdb files from the
"com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/" directory in the Jackcess jar to the
"/res/raw" Android application directory.
- Before executing any Jackcess code, set the current Thread's context
classloader, e.g.
"Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(Database.class.getClassLoader())".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Until this version (1.2.2) is released you need to build lib yourself.
You also need commons-lang and commons-logging from apache commons.
Before you use Jackcess in Android code, you set
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(
getClass().getClassLoader());
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.brokenNio",
"true");
System.setProperty(
"com.healthmarketscience.jackcess.resourcePath",
"res/raw/");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and copy those resource files to res/raw
Then you can work as on PC, for example open /sdcard/yourprogram/file.mdb
Jackcess has no GUI, it's a library to read/write access files.
Getting an Access file into Android
I keep a lot of information on a Psion Revo, which has just turned its face to the wall and is giving up the ghost, and have always backed the information up on to my pc as an Access file. It looks easier to get this into a format acceptable to Android by converting the Access .mbx file into an Excel .xls file. This can be searched readily by Column and Values. Maybe this deals with too simple a need for most enquirers to the forum, but if it helps somebody then so much the better.
hi all i have beenlooking for something the same for some time now and just the other day i came accross this site cellica.com
the android app is free and the desktop application has a 5 day trial period or its $50 to buy it works great the only thing you can not do is create a report from the phone
i have emailed support team and they said they will be adding it on in the future.
Any Updates???
I currently build and use databases in MS Access and was wondering if there are any updates on this topic now that Tablets are in use now. Looking to get the Motorola Xoom (2nd version) in the future, but would love to be able to use a program that I would be able to access my MS Access databases while "on-the-go".
Anyone? This would be huge (I believe), since we now have tablets.
Thanks a bunch,
~Kilch~
Access to MS Access by Android
Hi,
I'm also looking to get on-the-go access to my Access databases on my Android HTC Tattoo.
The file is on it, I just need a tool to access it in read-only / search mode, but judging from the previous comments, there doesn't seem to be an oversupply in applications.
The "convert to Excel format" may be OK for me. I want to use a 3 language Access DB (dictionary) on my phone, so I'll try the Excel solution.
It would be nice if we had an ACCESS reader though...

Panacea Database
I know XDA frowns upon excessively hawking your own products here, but I do seem to be directly answering more than one of the reply questions, it just happens that the answer is an application my company released.
The Panacea Database application can handle Access from Access 2000 to Access 2007. It has also worked so far on every Access 2010 database we've tested, and we've received no complaints in that department yet. We release updates from time to time as we improve its functionality and features, often guided in our priorities by user e-mail and market comments. Our next update will be focused on improving screen layout for a variety of Android devices - from small QVGA smartphones, to large WXGA tablets. After that we may move onto other functionality.
In the interest of fairness, I'll point out arafa1209's post. He mentions Celicca Database, which is the only other application that I know of that deals with Access databases on Android. It has features Panacea does not have (yet) - ability to work with forms, ability to create and modify databases, ability to connect to your PC etc. Like us, they also send out updates improving their app regularly. So you can compare the apps, and use which one fits your needs better (or use both). If anyone knows of any others they can post here as well, but these are the only two I know of currently.
Just tried Panacea. Although it is more basic and annoyingly doesn't remember the last files you'be opened necessitating finding the file each time you open the app I prefer it for the simple reason you don't have to convert the Access database to another format.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you update the app, this should be fixed, the last version should have this feature.
Got the update last week. Certainly goes a long way to making it more user-friendly. Keep up the great work!
Since the last update it seems to be broken. Although it remembers the last database I cannot open a table within any database.
Edit: It appears the file was corrupted. Loaded a new file and all working again.
Any news in this topic.
I tried panacea Database, works fine. But not very effective. Searching data is a must for me however I didnt manage to find a search option. When I search for tables, it cant even locate the tables by names.

Source code editor on the go with your Android Phone!

Hello, i want to ask if there is any program availiable for android phones like notepad++ for pc where i can write code for programming languages. Compiling them i know it's not possible but i want an app for writing the code while i am away from my pc.
Even though I don't agree with notepad++ (I am a linux user, but I always thought it was terrible) I would like this too.
I have spent some time looking and have yet to find anything that will do this, so I have to ssh into our development server and then use nano. It works for small fixes, which is the only thing you would really want to do on your android.
yeah i also would really like to see this so i can be programming while at work and school when i'm on the go. I've recently started learning to develop for android maybe this would make a good project.
i believe some roms have gedit or nano included so you could use that

Just search Codeanywhere in the Android Market!
Let us know what you think
Just to let you know... Codeanywhere works but stops showing code at line 52 (consistently, doesn't depend on file type) on my Asus Eee Pad Transformer (16GB) w/ dock.
