I see lots of people using their phones to control their computer....
Is there any way to do this the other way around?
Like I wanna use my mouse and keyboard to control my phone
Via bluetooth or some other means?
EDIT: did more searching and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
ive only seen it done on the computer end. i used an app called web key for hero witch will let u completly control your hero from your computers web browser.
yeah that app I linked in the OP looks pretty cool, However my "adb" commands only work from within the Boot menu... I can't do adb devices while my phone is up and running android.

Right, I had an HTC artemis before my HTC Diamond, and I went out and baught one of
those nifty little W100 remotes. As you'll all know by now (or at least you should do) that
they only work for windows media player, and are not mappable. I want to change this!
Now, i've had a look around the file system, and in the registry, and I've found some things
that i'm curious about...
h2w_accessory.dll seems to be referenced as an active device/driver, and this seems to
be the only thing that could be remotely related to the remote. There has to be some kind
it "middle man" to open WMP and pass it the commands, and I want to gain access into it,
to break it open and generate button press events...
I have tried to access all of the serial ports by writing a small program, to see if the remote
communicated via a simple serial interface, but this yeilded no results. I have listened for
button events system wide, also via a simple program I made, but this also yeilded nothing
useful.
Does anyone know anything more about the inner workings of this remote control's drivers,
and would like to try and help make a solution, hopefully for ALL HTC devices.
I hope we can all finally get our heads down and crack open this remote for the good of
the community, and finally show HTC how to make a remote control useful for more of the
Windows Mobile population...
Hello Everyone,
On the Android Market you can dowload Gmote which turns the the G1 into a remote control for Window's or Mac via a client/server type configuration over WiFi. It would be cool to write a similar application for MythTV. I'm not sure how it could be done, but it's cool. I'd try it myself, but I have 2 little kids at home and no spare time
Thoughts?
Tim
I know this thread is REAL old but it's the first hit on google, so I though i'd put in what I found. Mythmote works GREAT!
code.google.com/p/mythmote/
it's available in the market. I had to restart my frontend after enabling the remote.
Is anyone going to made a "My Mobiler" type of application for the G1?
It was very nice to have it with my Wing.
i loved it on my Wing too. i miss it!
Please report this thread to Koush
As he already have Screenshot Application Relaying it to any IP Socket can make a Video Streaming of Onscreen on G1 then only Catching Mouse and Keyboard Events from PC to G1 is require and mapped and channels to Device can be done to Make such Applications
Bump!
Did anyone ever find an app that does anything remotely like this? I'd love to have this capability, since I'm near a desktop pretty much all day and could benefit greatly by responding to messages through a PC based console.

Someone, please do it! I used MyMobiler constantly on my previous WinMo phone (T-Mobile MDA). I would pay to have its equivalent for the Android T-Mobile G1. I haven't rooted my G1 (yet) but would absolutely do it if it was required for running a MyMobiler-like app.
Just think of it:
- Type text messages using your keyboard.
- View your mobile screen on your desktop.
- Control your mobile by using desktop keyboard and mouse.
- Copy/Cut/Paste text between mobile and desktop.
- Capture mobile screen.
- Drag and drop files to your mobile.

i looked in to this a little for a project i am working on (Droid Explorer). I found that /dev/input/event1 is the touch events, /dev/input/event2 is the trackball events, /dev/input/event3 is the keyboard and buttons, i cant figure out what /dev/input/event0 and /dev/input/event4 are for.
I tried writing to the file with events that were "recorded" but was unable to write to it. That is as far as I got when I was looking in to it, I put it on the back burner for now.
This would definitely be awesome to get going
Hmm, im not a dev or anything but wouldn't it be somewhat easy to redirect the emulator in the SDK to use the phone instead of the files in the SDK?

i dont know if this can help u.
here is a VNC Server for android.
http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-server/
it works realy slow so its not for daily use (and after a time of use, the android turns into a reboot), but i think in the sorcecode you can find something that can help u
Hey guys there is one now!
[Tool] Android Screencast (open-source)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
Go search for mymobiler at code.google.com and vote for it.
I want something like this too and I can't root my phone...
Does the VNC Viewer work over USB? (On Windows Mobile it make a RNDIS connection over USB so I could use TCP/IP programs like Web/FTP/VNC Servers...)
MyMobiler for Android is good solution
For those who have used MyMobiler on WM, I just read on there website that MyMobiler now supports Android! I tested it and it works on my Inspire
http://mymobiler.com/ it is also listed in this froum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230349

I've been trying to find some software that will let me remote onto my phone (in the same way that Mymobiler does - over USB). But i can't seem to find anything!
All my search results come up with how to remote desktop FROM your phone, but I want to to it the other way round!
Does any software even exist?
Would installing ActiveSync 3.8 work with mymobiler (seeing as it should let me sync over WiFi?)
Thanks!

Works both ways, i.e access PC from the mobile (well done and convenient) or the opposite, over any network you want.
Pocket Controller
Cool, thanks guys
Pocket Controller does the job nicely - with lots of extra functionality to boot
This is what I use. And it's free to boot.

(sorry I did not see that you said you already tried this)
Since there are a lot of developers here...
I'd really like an application with which I can send SMS via my pc (using either usb or bluetooth). So I am not bothered to type SMSes on my telly but rather on my computer.
AFAIK there doesn't exist a program like this?
For WM I used to use Jeyo Mobile Companion.
Thanks!
Quick search of the market brought up 'Droid Messenger'.
Thanks, but I rather have my messages not sent via a website. Who knows what they'll do with it.
Moreover, the website doesn't work anyway.
Maybe other suggestions?
I used to use a program called mymobiler on my Windows Mobile that allowed me to type via my keyboard onto the phone. Made sending long SMS's a breeze!
I just found this morning a program that does something similar. Allows you to control your Android phone via your computer -

Works quite well!

Thanks for that androidscreencast tip lewman! I have been after something like that for ages and even considered making myself one! Will try it tomorrow and see how it goes.
Just found something that might be interesting
http://sites.google.com/site/desktopsmsforandroid/en
not sure if it would work for htc hero, but worth a try.
I am using the desktop sms mentioned in previous post on my Hero and it works perfectly well.
It got installed as a package when I installed Droidexplorer (very nice program for windows users).
Well, I tried desktopSMS and it does appear to work. It did force close on me once at the beginning, but it seems to work ok now. Can sent a message and appears in the list when I receive them.
I just wish there was some sort of notifications on pc that the message has been received and who it was from.
Unfortunately, androidscreencast doesn't work for me. I get an exception error (permission denied) when loading the jnlp link. Lewman > how did you get your androidscreencast working?
if you don't mind shelling out a bit - get smsToMailbox - I've been using the Lite version and it works perfectly/free
Hi guys,
Any update on this? Is there any other app which can do this?
You want to write your sms from the hero via a pc, usb connected for example? I use My Phone Explorer... works on all Android devices.
