The video output on the EVO 3D appears distorted and scrambled. I posted a screenshot in the XDA forum here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=673427&d=1312211179

Slightly weird behaviour on this one - on connecting to the VNC server (TCP, forwarded over usb - adb forward tcp:5091 tcp:5091), the screen appears mostly red (green items appear to have the blue channel - possibly channels being swapped?)

Client output:

$ vncviewer localhost:5901
Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.8
No authentication needed
Authentication successful
Desktop name "Android"
VNC server default format:
  32 bits per pixel.
  Least significant byte first in each pixel.
  True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 24 green 16 blue 8
Using default colormap which is TrueColor.  Pixel format:
  32 bits per pixel.
  Least significant byte first in each pixel.
  True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0
Same machine: preferring raw encoding

To note, same behaviour occurs when running across the network, without the crash, and with slightly different client logs:

$ vncviewer 192.168.0.102:5901

May I integrate droid VNC server on my own application to capture screenshot? If yes, please tell me the steps to do. Thanks a lot.

Crashes on 4.0.3

We want to include droid-VNC-server in the FOSS-Market F-Droid. Unfortunately you use Admob, which is non free, thus it can't be included. Please remove Admob, or give us instructions how to build without Admob.

Please get in touch with us.

How to make the server compress and push the specified area to the client side ? (e.g 64x64 area.)

I would like to know where and how I should change my code to achieve the desired effect

Thanks in advance.

My droid vibrates as if the home button was being pressed many times as opposed to having the home button pressed down. Basically I can't open the tasks. great program btw.

I cannot compile droidvncdaemon.

error message I get is attached at the end of the issue.

I downloaded the origin/master version of the repository.

I am running Ubuntu 10.4 64 bit. I can compile and build the rowboat-android repository for my beagleboard-xm just fine.

Immediately after building android, I copied the droidvncdaemon directory to the external/droidvncdaemon directory of my AOSP tree and then issued the command

mmm external/droidvncdaemon

and then I stopped with the error shown below.

There no annotation about the license. In 'about' you can only see that the software is FOSS, but nothing about the license.

A short note about the GPLv2 would be helpful.

BTW: I was surprised that this awesome app isn't in the F-Droid Android FOSS Repo.

Thank you for this wonderful app ;)

I build droid-VNC-server on eclipse for java developers (Indigo version). I don't run it on emulator but on a pandaboard running AOSP-4.0.4. I have Superuser v3.0.7 with su v3.1 by git-core. I ran into multiple issues with su (see end of thread ChainsDD/Superuser#46 (comment)). Now su is ok, but vncserver still does not start:

V/VNCserver(  598): Running as root...
V/VNCserver(  598): Starting /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver  -r 0 -s 100 -P 5901

V/VNCserver(  598): Could not start server :(

I changed the serverRunning timeout from 2 sec to 5 sec, no luck, server still fails after 5 sec. The thing is su does not fail or report error, so something must go wrong with my own-built droid-VNC-server...

In parallel, I compiled droidvncdaemon in my android 4.0.4 build system for panda. To do so, I applied following patches on top of commit ee18564 tag 1.0a3:
http://pastebin.com/c1Q1Gtkr
http://pastebin.com/vYUEbmUN

I made /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/file/androidvncserver point to /system/bin/androidvncserver_gingerup from my custom droidvncdaemon compilation.

# ls -l /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver
lrwxrwxrwx    1 0        0               37 May 11 16:12 /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver -> /system/bin/androidvncserver_gingerup

And it works now :). But I am wondering: is /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/file/androidvncserver brought as binary by droid-VNC-server when built with eclipse?

Also I checked that the original androidvncserver selected in eclipse is the gingerbread version.

(host) $ md5sum ./res/raw/androidvncserver_gingerup 
0ab93810a86e54bef5b16668c9ec2dd9  ./res/raw/androidvncserver_gingerup

0ab93810a86e54bef5b16668c9ec2dd9  /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver.org

Can I send you a patch targeting droidvncdaemon Android.mk? How? I am quite new to github...

Thanks, keep on the good work !

Hi,

On my Nexus S with the new OTA ICS 4.0.3 I can not exit the app. When I press "Stop Server" the connection (if open) is closed but droid-VNC gets stuck on the progressdialog as shown here http://i.imgur.com/Yr8uw.png. Back button does not respond.

On ICS I see a wrong IP address in the UI when starting the VNC daemon. See this screenshot: http://imgur.com/h6glv

The WLAN IP address is in the 192.168.1.x range, I have no idea where the 10.x.x.x is coming from. Any thoughts?

I have been using the app (really great by the way) and after connecting & disconnecting a few times (between 5-8) the mouse isn't working anymore. The KB shortcuts still work, and the touchscreen still works, but any actions using the mouse no longer function.

VNCViewer 4.1.3

hey
I have the droid-VNC-server and I am using the UltraVNC 1.0.9.6.1
when I connect with UltraVNC , I got the blank screen

I am testing droidvncdaemon in standalone (androidvncserver_gingerup) on a pandaboard running AOSP 4.0.4 with graphic drivers 4.0.4 IMM76I (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#panda). Here is the patch I made to have droidvncdaemon work on ICS : http://pastebin.com/abwR4av4
It is running but it is really really slow. framebuffer refresh is very slow, it is barely usable. Also when typing some text with the keyboard, the fb does not refresh thus text is not visible. It's only after a mouse event (click) that the text eventually appears on my VNC client.
. Is this problem reproduced by anyone?
. What can I check to improve the performances?

Apon trying to start a VNC server in the program, you will get a FC. If you start the program again it will say that the server is running (which, indeed it seems to be).

Not sure if it is an issue or just that feature is not available. I would donate or buy app if you could connect via cdma ip address instead of only wifi ip address. Please let me know if this iis problem or feature not available.

I love the idea of this application, but I've been having trouble getting it to work properly. It installs fine on my rooted X (I've tried both stock 2.1 and OTA 2.2). I can connect using vnc4viewer under Ubuntu Lucid-32, but I only get a black screen. The screen input seems to work, when I touch the screen there's an appropriate response from the phone and the keyboard shortcuts seem to work. I can connect to other VNC servers without issue so it seems to be either a client incompatibility or a phone issue. Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot?

I want to develop the client side code for a more enhanced viewing in Web Browser.
Please help me with locating the servlet or code which monitors the viewing in browser !

When attempting to use droid-VNC-server (I downloaded from the market. I have yet to run a build of the native vnc server, but will soon) on a Motorola Droid 3 (Solana) with CyanogenMod 9, the result is that a distorted framebuffer is sent. I tested with multiple VNC clients, (gtkvnc, tightvnc) My guess is that there is a problem somewhere between grabbing and then sending the framebuffer data, or that it is in some new format.

The service crashes (or at least drops connections and won't allow new connections) frequently on a Verizon Droid 2. It's happened to me 5 times in the past two hours.

Ok so I know how to start the app from a adb shell using:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.onaips.vnc/org.onaips.vnc.MainActivity

but I need help coming up with the argument to actually start the server inside the adb shell. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

droid-vnc-server run on android 2.3.5,
it will show "frame buffer mmap failed" and "unsupported pixel depth".

how can i fixed it?

Thank you.

I build and run this app on a pandaboard running AOSP-4.0.4. But I got into trouble rooting my phone. I actually missed the SUID stuff, and it took me 2 or 3 days to discover what was wrong... I rebuilt su-binary, Superuser.apk, tried changes... Now it works fine, but I am wondering:

. Why does droid-VNC-server need root access?
. What are the system files that it needs to modify or system tools it needs to start as superuser?
. Do you think there is a way to make it work on non-rooted phone with some modifications?

I can connect and see eh screen (rotated), but i can' seem to click on anything. Unless there is a trick to clicking I am missing? Thx.

It usually runs with 80% CPU load on bigger screens like 800xXXX pixels, since it always compares any changed pixel in the framebuffer. And the update_screen method includeds inefficent operations, like:
if (a[i + j * scrinfo.xres]!=b[PIXEL_TO_VIRTUALPIXEL(i,j)])
which can be transfomed to:
int offset = j * scrinfo.xres;
int pixelToVirtual = (j+scrinfo.yoffset)*scrinfo.xres_virtual+i+scrinfo.xoffset;

The first comment on Market:

Also, for those asking the question: 
End Key = Power button 
Delete Key = Back button 
Home key = Home button 
Pg Up Key =     Menu button
Pg Dn Key = Dialer button

It should be written on http://...:5801/ page at least.

The Esc Key or Rt Mouse click does not work as a Android Back key on the Samsung Galaxy SIII SCH-I535. Otherwise wonderful product

Hi!

I have a Motorola Milestone device with the latest german(?) firmware (2.1-update1). The server almost works well (mouse, keyboard, web access), but the screen is not shown in the vnc window. (see: http://imgur.com/gYb4Y.png [the gray frame is caused by the screenshot app])

update: I've tried the java client with various settings, and the one included in ubuntu. (dunno the name)

Screen updates half at a time so it always appears to be sliding left right.

On Archos 101, the screen is rotated 180 degrees (but completely readable). However, when selecting the option to rotate the screen 180 degrees in droid-VNC-server, the resulting screen is garbled to the point where nothing is recognizable. I've tried screen rotation with all the test modes as well.

I installed 1.0a3 and works better, with rotate to 180' I see phone screen ok in my pc, but the problem is rotation is only a visual effect, location of objects on screen is rotated 180' too, so does not matters what rotation setting (0', 90', etc) droid VNC Server use, when I click over an icon launches a wrong app because position is rotated 180'.
I think this issue is a particular thing of ZTE Warp, because I tried others Android VNC Servers and got same problem. Can this be fixed?

Thanks.

Small issue with the listen socket either on 2.3.x or in general (don't have 4.x to test on). Basically, the wrong socket gets set in libvncserver/sockets.c. Otherwise socket never properly opens and when manually started with adb shell, it spits out:

rfbCheckFds: accept: Bad file number

Diff here to fix: (basically just comment out the IPv6 socket set)

I tried running this project, after removing the root dependencies from it. I get an error: "Cannot run server. Unsupported pixel depth". What should I do?

I am willing and able to test any dev builds or provide debugging info.

I met an issue on my pandaboard running AOSP-4.0.4. After I started and stopped VNC server, Android virtual keyboard did not prompt anymore, although I had no USB keyboard connected. Before that virtual / physical keyboards toggled dynamically smoothly when USB keyboard was plugged in and out. After some tests, I figured out that droid-VNC-server creates a standard keyboard, and it is recognized as a built-in keyboard by Android. See http://pastebin.com/7NurfTwj.

On this log, I commented USB keyboard plug-in with:

*** plugging keyboard ***

When VNC server is stopped, later in the log, three lines are of interest:

I/EventHub(  153): Removed device: path=/dev/input/event3 name=qwerty id=6 fd=203 classes=0x27
W/EventHub(  153): built-in keyboard device /dev/input/event3 (id=6) is closing! the apps will not like this
W/InputReader(  153): Ignoring spurious device removed event for deviceId 6.

The keyboard created by droid-VNC-server is not removed completely because it is defined as built-in! Android cannot "remove" a so-called built-in device. Then when I enter a keyboard-demanding application, Android virtual keyboard does not pop up because Android believes that a built-in keyboard is already present... Can be annoying on a device without physical keyboard.

So I patched droidvncdaemon/vnc/input.c:

         1, /* Vendor id. */
         1, /* Product id. */
         1 /* Version id. */
     }; 

-    if((inputfd = suinput_open("qwerty", &id)) == -1)
+    if((inputfd = suinput_open("qwerty_vnc", &id)) == -1)
     {
         L("cannot create virtual kbd device.\n");
    sendMsgToGui("~SHOW|Cannot create virtual input device!\n");
         //  exit(EXIT_FAILURE); do not exit, so we still can see the framebuffer
     }

And I created a new .idc file in /system/usr/idc similar to qwerty.idc, only difference is:

keyboard.builtIn = 0

On my Samsung Galaxy S II (GTi9100P with android 4.0.3), I can't write any text from my pc ! It doesn't seem to do anything ! Even from the home screen (where I read it should launch a google search).

The copy/paste button doesn't work better by the way ...

Device: p999
OS: Android 4.1.2
ROM: PA-JB-build8

When starting the app it says it is started by the ports do not appear to have been opened (nmap shows 0 open ports). If I click to stop it it keeps blinking forever. If I force close it then load it up again and click start the start button blinks forever.

Once I have tried to start it my keyboard no longer pops up.

Here is a logcat of starting then clicking stop and letting it blink for a short while.
