Has anybody been successful with a good RDP client to use from the Nook Color? I have tried TeamViewer, Wyse PocketCloud, AndroidVNC, all with no success for different reasons.

I'm using LogMeIn. Works ok enough. A little laggy. But it gets the job done.

Me too logmein works the best but the best is still not good enough
Logmein Ignition? How do you move the cursor or click on something?
iTap Mobile RDP client is the best NC rdp client IMO. I have spent just under$ 100.00 trying them all out as I needed one that worked with non-tech users.
This is the only app that provided real tablet touch to my RDP sessions WITH the custom screen seize for the NC. As with any RDP session WiFi speed matters, as well as developing your custom theme on Win7 so that the buttons, window frames, etc... are usable from a small touch screen device. If there is any interest I will post my Win7 settings. I have not automated them all yet (which goes against my beliefs... lol).

Would be interested to know what your tweaks are to make this as usable as possible. Would love to rdp into work from nook. Also, if anyone knows, what is the best solution for establishing vpn to ipsec cisco devices from nook?
OK, downloaded and installed it. Then I installed it (iTap receiver) on my PC. But the nook has no menu buttons in the interface, so I can't put in the IP of my receiver. How did you do that?
Wyse pocketcloud pro works fine for me.

First I have heard of the iTAP receiiver. I used standard Remote Desktop on the Windows 7 device. Am I missing something in your comment?
1. Installed the iTAP client on the NC
2. Configured the client for a new bookmark (shortcut to device RDP sessions)
3. Configured custom port mapping (NAT) on router
4. Verified RDP was enabled on the Win7 device
5. Realizing I could not use a styolus and my fingers are bigger than a stylus, configured Win7 with custom settings. (posting in a momeent in reply to the previous comment).

This is probably more than you wanted but I just copied and pasted from my notes. Any better updates you find are always appreciated as well.
~Raptor
OK, I checked to see my version and noticed there was an update. But based on your comment I did not update it yet (don't want to break what works now). So I visited the Dev site and the iTap receiver looks interesting, however I purchased and use the "iTAP RDP" app.
I may give the iTAP receiver a try as it sounds as though it gives a customized (large icon) type of interface to the Windows client. I don't have time for that today though but for now the iTAP RDP app works great with the custom changes to my Win7 profile.
Like I said, I bough a bunch of these apps (you know the story, you get more features in the purchased version) however this was the best one IMO. The 2nd runner up was "Remote Desktop Cleint" from XtraLogic however they did not have a custom screen size that was consistent and when I (or my family) touch the screen to move something I want the "something" to move not the entire desktop since it would not resize properly. :-/
Thanks Raptor, I will be using a good portion of what you have documented in my setup.

i wrote two applications that provide screen rotations in different scenarios.
the first one (rotexec) rotates the screen in a particularly orientation and executes an application, then restores the orientation on exit.
the second one (devomon) polls the accelerometer and updates the screen orientation.
i know there are already applications out there that handle these tasks, but the ones i found all ran on the .net vm.
my goal here was to minimize the memory footprint, something not possible with managed languages.
for devomon.. with 4 filtered applications, it consumes about 52 KB of heap space.
the new version of devomon (with a gui):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LCOWUDF4
rotexec and devomon w/o a gui (don't use it):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DL58WVU4
project is hosted at SourceForge.. i haven't committed the newer changes though.
----
rotexec is intended for use with shortcuts, although if you use it more than once you might have a hard time distinguishing when all have the same damn icon.
the command-line format is...:
Code:
rotexec <direction>|<full_path_to_exe>[|<args]
<direction> indicates the side the top of the window touches and can be either N, S, E, or W
you can quote the individual items (i.e., "N" vs. N), but not the entire string.
* the orientation is set for the duration of the program, regardless of whether or not it owns the foreground window.
example shortcut:
Code:
88#"\Storage Card\rotexec.exe" W|\Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
----
devomon reads the output of the accelerometer using htcsensorsdk.dll.
* the screen orientation is changed for all applications except those in the filter list.
* if the keyboard is out, no orientation changes are made.
* filters cannot be persisted at this time.
devomon now has a gui.
I'd just like to say a TON of thanks to this program. It works GREAT. I use it for Remote Desktop. I always want it rotated portrait, without the keyboard open, and now it does!
In addition, I would like to add a recommendation for modifying the shortcut icons. This app that I have attached is called Shortcut Creator, and it allows you to pull up any shortcut, and specify an icon from any .EXE on the device!
Hi all,
The idea is to create an amazing picture viewer for Android, free, open-source, and community powered. This thread is a call for Android developers, designers, and users so that we can kickstart this project.
IMO, we should start by:
1) users saying what they would like to see in a picture viewer app (in terms of UI, features, ...)
2) gathering a team of developers - everyone is welcome independent of their skill level (if you just want ot learn as we go thats great too)
3) gathering a team of designers - same as above
4) creating a few app concepts (devs and designers involved)
5) kick-off development
6) iterate the app with users feedback
So anyone (dev, designer, user) that is interested please post here the skills you are willing to contribute with, and your preferred way of communication, and project management software (IM, forum, etc)
So... what are you waiting for, get involved!
Cheers,
about me: I am the developer of RockOn (http://abrantix.org/rockon.php)
I'm in! I will be the token learner! My prefered form of contact/conversation is IM and email. I have accounts for all of the major messengers.
As for concept ideas, the ability to swipe to change picture is very high on my list. Also, as mentioned in the rock on app thread, a layout similar to the rock on layout would be nice for thumbnail viewing.
yeah, i'm happy to help out =]
I might be able to help out. Either development or testing. I prefer email, but also have Google Talk. As for project management, whatever works for everyone else works for me.
Sounds good to me. I am a C/Linux guy who dabbles in Java when he has to. I have almost no GUI skills that lead to anything besides functionality, I am an engineer. I prefer IM or group chat for lengthy design discussions.
As far as functionality I would personally like, I think the RockOn look/feel is pretty close:
Basic:
- scrolling list of thumbnails (maybe like a film roll?) while showing a larger version of the active item in the scrolling film roll
- tap any image to see full screen (best fit maximize, best fit crop, possibly scale to fit (yuck))
- auto rotate of course
- slideshow in order or random with variable delay time in seconds (1,2,5,10,15, tap only)
- optionally override screen timeout when on charger and on battery
Advanced:
- ability to rotate/delete/edit pictures
- show any picture info (mainly titles/when taken/where taken)
- transitions, possibly opengl?
- select background music playlist (which is part of why I thought RockOn was such a good fit)
- defined slideshows (like playlists for music) (maybe as easy as selecting what directories should be in this slideshow and what playlists to use for music)
- widget control to select and start/resume a slideshow (or maybe just a shortcut per slideshow?)
- show subdirectories like the built in picture viewer does? (by creating custom thumbnails)
Really out there stuff:
- integrated media station for pictures/music/movies since they can all benefit from a nice coherent GUI frontend

All very good points, I agree 100%. I'd like to add "browse pictures by swipe" to that list though, and double-tap to zoom in and double-tap-hold(xxx ms) to reset zoom.
I don't know the first thing about java/coding, but I have experience in graphical design (Android themes/icons/etc).
Unfortunately, I have so little experience with linux that I might as well know nothing and I'm going deeper C++ so no Java yet =( and no knowledge of GUI programming either) but I do have a suggestion, you could try a format similar to the ScatterView that is on Microsoft Surface, there is already source code that somewhat does this made my Luke Hutchinson for multitouch In the middle of this page If there is anything I can help with I would be more than happy to.
BTW: I prefer E-Mail/IM for communication ([email protected])
Take a look at the LOL Cats application. The picture browsing is great, left right swipt to navigate, up swipe to go to "film strip" and tap to zoom. It doesn't have all the features we'd be looking for but it would be a start. Perhaps they'd be willing to share some code.
I will be happy when any developer add multitouch (like in browser from JF )
and gesture
Alright so we have a few people interested in joining already, and nice ideas to start with. Let's schedule a date for an IRC/MSN/Skype conference to kick this off and start creating some app concepts and distributing tasks.
As for myself, I am really into animation-related stuff like rotations, translations, and 3d-like whenever possible. Id also like to add features for automatic categorization of pictures (for instance making dynamic albums by data- last week/month/6 months/whatever -, location, or even image similarity).
I will have a few hours Wed April 29, 2009 say 9pm-11pm EST.
Busy Thursday / Friday.
I will be free Sat May 2, 2009 after 6pm EST or pretty much any time Sun May 3, 2009 8am - 10pm EST.
@bjehsus, nEx.software, mannyb - Check your PMs
@knoxbrder - check you email (sent via the forums).
Ok well to help out with the project I'm trying to find out how to code the inertial movement for teh scatterview. If anyone has any ideas please E-Mail me ([email protected])
Edit: Please note that I have very little knowledge of Java so it will be in C++ syntax but should be easily translated from what I've been told
I am not a dev and can't really contribute to your work. However, please allow me to make one suggestion....
You already noted that you may wish to integrate the following:
widget control to select and start/resume a slideshow (or maybe just a shortcut per slideshow?)
I would suggest that you integrate a widget into your app. The widget could act like an table top lcd picture frame in which the photos change periodically.
Long press on the widget could open up the full app. Closing the app returns to the home screen with the widget on the screen.
Also, please make it so that the user can designate a folder for the widget, and one (+ the widget folder) for the full app. That way a user could have family photos alternating in the picture frame widget folder, but when the full app opens the user could look at all of the photos (widget file + regular file).
You would also have an icon in the app grid for those who didn't want to use the widget.
Just my $.02. I'm excited to see your progress and will be willing to be a beta tester if you want. I like to have photos of my wife as my "desktop" but, love photos in general. I've been waiting for an app like this!!
Thanks for considering these ideas.
***Note: If you consider working on the widget first you could enter the widget into the contest and then build the app after the widget. Just something to consider.***
maybe you can PM haykuro / JF to help you get the kernel for multi-touch and incorporate that into your photo viewer :]]
i would so pay for this!

seems like not bad ya.. thanks for the sharing
can you guarantee the readings are 100% accurate?

ou nice. hemde cok cok ıyı
Really cool, just downloaded it from the market.
Very nice, i will try it
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
great app! Just bought it in Market! I missed an app that makes the transparent window on the screen...
Once I had it on symbian years ago, but couldn't find one on Android...until now!
THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was just wondering if the app can show the bandwidth used per services or application?
Nice I use it!
is it possible to rather show this in the notification pull down instead of such a window?
i mean there is an app for this already but it is quite bloated with other stuff. having such a minimal app with the option to show either such a small window or in the notification pull down would be better.
Good Program. Good Work.

But having this will defeat the purpose of the application, that to show this info wherever you are (in a full screen game, other app) not to access the notification area for the info
having this as a second optional way to show this does not defeat nothing. in your scenario you still have the way to display the infos as it is now.
it is an optional addition, not a substitution.

Works perfect with DFT 7720 ROM. THANKS!
Thanks a lot, Tuska.
I'm running it on a RTM on a WP7, and it works perfectly.
Btw, can you think about 2 things:
- a vertical scrolling way with finger on the upper side of the screen.
- a pin to keep the keyboard onscreen
You won a client for your pro version.
Thanks a lot
Is it possible to use it as a proxy client？ Thank you.
Awesome app! If you could add non-standard port support, that would be great!

Can you provide xap download link?
Thanks for all the feedback, I'm still gathering comments and I'll post an update to marketplace in few days.
Here's the current changelog:
V1.1
- Fixed rendering bug related to black text on white background
- Non-standard ports now actually work! (usage: host: port - my.shell.edu:42)
- Added support for different font sizes
- Font-type is now universal settings and not connection based
- Added option: do not close on-screen keyboard after pressing enter
- Physical keyboard is now detected and input is always received.
I'll add backlog support to upcoming pro version.
Even if I get program to function as a proxy, I'm afraid that the webbrowser-control doesn't support proxy.
And those who don't have access to marketplace usually seem to find the xap files on their own Or is direct link really needed?
I found a minor UI bug. I am entering my server's host name (not an IP), and it's stretching out the configuration window (text box getting too wide and pulling other controls off the screen).
Otherwise good job, I been waiting for an app like this!
Updated the app based on feedback!
App works fin on Samsung Omnia 7.
Thanks.
Updated the app to version 1.2!
anyone figure out how to send ctrl- keys? I love the app but I can't pico anything because there's no ctrl- key on my quantum's keyboard.
Wow! updated 1.2
Everything's good but one thing: how can I transfer my SSH key into the box? C&P from a mail didn't work because the mail client broke the lines and the ssh client says "wrong key format". Any ideas?
Awesome app, thank you !
Just a metro style tip : avoid using capitalized first letters especially in pivot headers, and avoid horizontal centering for text.
Confirmed, works without any problems on my Omnia 7 with Telekom Branding.
Thanks!
HI all,
today I was trying to extend my display to the tv but I'm no more able to do it.
I have a chromecast (old one) connected to my tv and I was thinking to extend the display of my notebook (running windows 10 home) so I did as I've found in this video
1) win-key+x > and selected control panel
2) change screen resolution
3) pressed "detect" key in order to "find" the chromecast ; but it does not work
Did I missed something or the new updates are blocking this feature?
thanks
