from what i understand, there isn't much of an official Synergy app for android (talking about the cross-platform input sharing software).. there's an alpha or beta development of it at sourceforge but it doesn't seem to be updated very often.
IMO this is (or will soon become) a no brainier, but i've been looking into temporary solutions to host and share keyboard/mouse from a Windows server to my bionic and webtop. a lot of people claim success with multi-app rigs like VNC server + remote web desktop, tightvnc etc. i've had some success with it, but it's not what i was hoping for.
im fairly certain bluetooth devices can be shared, input devices as well? is there something needed to access this functionality? any input would be greatly appreciated!

I did search for this, but it returned no results...
Is there a VNC client I can use on my XDA to let me control and/or view my PC screen via bluetooth?
Thanks for any helpful replies. ^_^
EDIT:
Really, nothing?
I'll take unhelpful replies at this point.
As far as I know, there's never been a PPC version of any VNC client (as there's several flavours of VNC, the original RealVNC, TightVNC, WinVNC...) - I just don't think that your average PDA would be up to the job of rendering and processing all the data, plus the issues of converting keypresses, a mouse which doesn't exist (how do you convert the button presses?) and the sheer amount of CPU and graphical horsepower VNC needs I think would just overpower a PPC.
However, I might be wrong. I've never come across a VNC client though for a PPC device, I think there might be a PPC / PDA Terminal Services client but of course now you're talking Windows.
Thanks for the reply.
There go my evil plans to use my pc all over the house.
VNC client
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/vncviewerforpocketpc.shtml
VNC Viewer for Pocket PC v3.3.5.1
I recently re-downloaded the PPC (had it for Palm ages ago) version of Pebbles (google it) and although it doesn't have bluetooth connection and doesn't do a true rendering of the PC's display - it takes a screenshot at set intervals I think - it CAN access the PC via WiFi, which is cool.
Functions are limited but as far as I know it's still an ongoing project.
VNC Client
Here's a good VNC client and it works with WM5... http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm
well bugger me sideways, i reply with a 'i don't think there's any vnc clients for ppc' and all the people who know of some come out the woodwork!
LoL I was thinking the same thing, christopherwoods.
I know this is un-related but, you mentioned WM5 choycm, and I was reading a topic in the updates section about it not being on Alpine/XDA2i, is that still the case?
Thanks for the links everyone.

Well, I tested it on the Dopod 900 aka Universal... And it works perfectly.
As has been previously discussed on XDADev, whilst the 2 and the 2i may look pretty much identical the 2i's hardware is quite different from that of the 2 - and unfortunately, the 2i (the Alpine)'s hardware doesn't support WM5.
The beta version of "Real" VNC is here http://www.realvnc.com/products/beta/ce/. I've been using 4.1beta2 for a while. Works for me.
Does anyone know of a VNC Client that will let you transfer files from the server to the phone and vice versa?
I've got a little different problem
is there a possibility to see PPC's screen on PC?
cause my alpine has broken LCD :/
i found this thread by searching for "battery remaining 10%". (does anyone know where I can find the 10% interval battery meter fix??) I Dont know how i ended up here .. but I had a question
Why not use microsoft's RDP? Its built into every winxp pro computer, and I find it works great on WM6. I just cant find a viewer that works as well for use on WM5. Anyone here use RDP instead of VNC (and know a good ppc client for wm5?)
not eveyone uses windows...vnc is multi platform. rdp is great for windows however!
I've always used MochaVNC, awesome, easy to use app.

Smoothness is a function of network latency and throughput MUCH more than it has anything to do with the software. android-vnc-viewer is the best remote desktop control software for the simple reason that it doesn't depend on any proprietary CRAP. VNC is wide open for all to use. Avoid RDP at all costs -- any use of it helps to enable MS to continue developing incompatibilities wrt everything good.
when i tried to use vnc viewer i kept getting the connection was refused, whitch vnc program do you have on your phone, im using phone my pc right now and it comes with a desktop software. cant get vnc viewer to work.
anyone know how to set up vnc viewer
get "android-vnc-viewer" from the market. Install the free version of Real VNC. When Real VNC is setup move your mouse over the icon in the task-tray thing (haven't used windows in ages I forget what it's called) and type the IP address in to android-vnc-viewer.
For OS X the app claims to support OS X's built in desktop sharing, and I can confirm that it works with the built in desktop sharing in ubuntu.
Remote Desktop is by far the best option: http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient
but i have xp home, so i dont have a RDP sharing client.
Any word if and when Android will support MAP and other profiles?
Is there a possible workaround in the meantime?
Okay, what about utilizing iAnywhere Blue SDK? Anyone tried incorporating it?
This must be a taboo subject - there is literally no information anywhere on this. The only thing I could find is that Marvell has licensed the Android version of Blue SDK. Blue SDK for Andorid integrates MAP and a whole host of Bluetooth advanced profiles at a software level but I can't find anyone who has reported any experience with it.
Seriously, the iPhone and Blackberry all have built in support for advanced profiles. Android needs to get on board ASAP - the advanced profiles are crucial for automotive apps and next generation in-vehicle information/entertainment systems.
Does anyone have a contact with the Android developers they can PM me so I can try and find out if this is in the cards at all? This is terribly frustrating....
If you look the Droid 2/X it has support for MAP and some other protocols that the other android phones don't have. I'm currently looking at the Droid line to figure out where this support is and maybe see if I can port it to the Nexus.
Hi,
I need a software which will help me project Nexus One Screen onto my PC. I used a Java based software Droid(at)Screen for G1. It is not working for nexus One.
Can anyone help plz.
Thanks in Advance
If you have root, then search for droid VNC server on the market.
even without root, it might work for viewing purposes (i.e you likely won't be able to type or click).
Works well with most VNC client / viewer applications - in fact, you could view it through a http link in your browser without a VNC client if java is installed / working ok on your machine.
Thanks Sd00 for the response. Actually, I am new to these devices, so couldnt understand what you had mentioned. (actually its too much of hightech for me). Can you please let me know what I need to install on the phone or check?
Thanks
Install droid vnc server app from the market, run the app, press start button on the app, read the http it shows you on the screen & type it in to the address bar of your internet browse, waa laa.
Hi All,
I wanted to share with you something that I think could develop into something quite useful (and cool ). I have successfully managed to launch remote applications from my Linux server onto my TP (similar to Citrix). For those that might be somewhat skeptical I've attached a screenshot below. And yes, your eyes do not deceive you – it most certainly is Word 2007 running! But before everyone starts jumping up and down with excitement, it's not an TP application that I've developed – more proof of concept.
If people are interested in trying this out themselves please let me know and I'll put up some instructions. Just a wording of warning though, this is a little fiddly and requires the user to use CLI via Executah and also a Linux PC (not sure how to achieve this with a Windows PC).
Also, if there are any Xterm/XServer/WebOS Developer experts for the TP here that can help me, please come forward as I would like to push this to be more GUI based so I could really use some help.
Thank you.
How does this compare to splashtop remote?
Wow very neat!
Don't run Linux so not for me but i'd find this useful if someone knew a way to do this via windows?

it's not as advance as splashtop. It's merely just a remote application running on a linux server. The example I posted was of word running via wine on my ubuntu server. However, I've managed to get rdesktop installed on the touchpad which means there is a possibility of running a windows application. I will try this out and see if it works.
I will report back as soon as I have some info. I post a screenshot of a windows app running, asumming I can get one to run.
