Via Debian Linux?
Edit: okay, I just realized there is a very similar thread on this. Sorry! Mods please delete.
I'm interested in operating my phone from my office or home desktop pc, using the DEX interface, rather than needing a separate keyboard/video/mouse setup. In other words, I would like to connect a single USB cable between my Note9 and my PC and have my Note9 DEX UI in a window on the PC monitor, with my PC's keyboard and mouse input to the DEX interface. Since the hardware setup needed for this is trivial (one USB cable), it is then just a matter of software.
Is there such PC software to do this?
It looks like there is finally an option for Note10 to Windows or MacOS.

Is there software that works for Note9? And most importantly to me, is there software for Note9 on Debian Linux?
Anyone done this successfully with a PC environment rather than just a dex dongle to keyboard, video, and mouse?

Anyone know if there is any software out there that will let my G1 act as a keyboard mouse/touch pad that can control a PC?
Kind of like GRemote for the Windows Mobile platform [LINK]
I'd like to use the hardware keyboard and touch screen of the G1 to control the mouse/keyboard of my HTPC.

Thanks guys.
Both the suggested programs work over WiFi only. I would prefer a bluetooth solution, so that I would not have to install any drivers on the client machine. The client machine would just see (through the bluetooth USB dongle) a usb keyboard, or a mouse.
This comes in handy if you need a keyboard before the OS boots up (for bios use) or if you're booting off some random LiveCD linux OS.
I've seen the way the Atrix docks so that you can use the phone on a larger screen; does anybody know of a way to do this with our Captivates? It would be great to just plug my phone in to my netbook or laptop, bring the phone up on the screen, and use the phone right on screen.
I'm not talking about hooking the phone up to the monitor, I'm talking about emulating it through the USB port onto Windows or Ubuntu.

you can use video out and bluetooth mouse and keyboard, a mouse pointer will pop up on the home screen. but you wont have a way to get a webtop like view unless you do one better and install linux on the phone and then use ssh and vnc software. unfortunately you will get a low res view because we don have hdmi like the atrix.
another alternative (like you are asking for) is to us the phone with a computer like a laptop and use droidvnc fro mthe market and a vnc client on the pc to get your home view on the pc. this can work on linux or window or mac. just a matter of a market app and a vnc clien for the pc
and yeah the atrix is kinda lame. they could have done better with it.
I was looking into Dex and I really don't quite like the implementation of it. While I could get the dock and plug it into it's own dedicated HDMI port, either onto my monitor or in the back of my stereo receiver, I would rather have the environment on top of Windows 10, so I don't have to keep switching inputs.
My computer supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
Is there a way to achieve this? In otherwords, have an Android environment which comes from my phone, similar to a HP Lap Dock, on top of my Windows 10 OS?

Why not just install an Emulator like Nox or Bluestacks... run Android in a window which can be minimized or stretch?
Or RemisOX, a dual boot?

really?
just vnc or rdp in that laptop of yours.
with rdp you will have audio and some input redirection.
hey everyone, not sure if this is in the correct place so apologies if it is not.
Does anyone know if it is possible to run a remote desktop client on my note 9 back to my office computer, with a usb device passthru?
What I need to do is run a remote from my office computer with vehicle diagnostic software and be able to be onsite with a vehicle and plug the diagnostic cable in via the USB c on my Note 9, back to the software on my office computer?
recently my work laptop has died and i need a solution to running this software remotely, unless anyone can suggest a VM style app that will run full windows?
thanks.
I've never actually tried this, but is there a way to:
Remote Desktop into the Galaxy Note 9?
Force the session to DeX mode?

I'm trying to visualize this. You begin on a windows laptop... display the Remote Desktop of your phone on the laptop... and then... what? Not seeing the last step.
If you ran DeX on the phone, it would show you nothing except the phone's "desktop" which would be what the phone shows, not what DeX is showing on any laptop. In addition, DeX would want to project onto your laptop, which would mean you'd have DeX running (I guess?) alongside the phone's display on your laptop.
I project my Mac laptop screen to a Roku Ultra and from there to our old TV set. I can then run DeX on my laptop via the phone and it projects onto our TV via the Roku since it is displaying on the laptop. But all this is only showing you that I, too, find esoteric (and fun) ideas to try out. I've not once used my Roku/TV to do any work via DeX. A bit cumbersome...
Forgive me if I've missed your purpose.

On Windows 10 (for instance):
Open Remote Desktop
Type in your phone's login credientials
You're logged into your phone. Instead of actually seeing your phone within your Remote Desktop session, you see your phone in DeX mode. THAT'S what I'm looking for. Essentially, DeX for PC without having to use Dex for PC since it doesn't support wireless.
Is that possible at this time?

But your phone in DeX mode shows.... nothing. Because DeX only "shows itself" on the laptop where the DeX app for Windows/OSX is running. The phone serves DeX to the laptop. So... you'd see nothing except the phone. Which shows you nothing. The snag being that handshake - which requires at present a usb connection - between DeX served up by the phone and DeX being connected to via the DeX app on the laptop.
And I hope I'm wrong, because it would be really cool if you somehow were able to get a DeX session wirelessly before UI 2.5 even comes out.
above msg
i do belive hes refering to getting the note 9 into wireless dex
Yup. He's pretty much asking for Wireless DeX.
It'll be out with OneUI 2.5 (hopefully, if they dont choose to trim the firmware from features), in about 2 weeks tops. And it'll require the Dex app installed on Windows, it definitely wont work with RDP.
Edit: and i assume it'll work only locally on the network.

Yep I'm pretty much asking for Wireless DeX, you're right...but with a different approach, since the PC app requires a physical connection. I didn't know if there potentially was a way to force a DeX session if you attempted to connect to your phone through RDP. It would be neat if that were possible. I do know about One UI 2.5 so I guess I'll just have to wait. It does look like it's coming to the Note 9 sometime in October.

Well, that's the point of Wireless DeX, it wont require a physical connection with a USB cable, just both devices being on the same network.
