Extend desktop to PPC - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is there a free bit of software that will allow me to use the ppc as an extended desktop.
I have played with side window, but would rather not pay for it as i don't think I will use it enough lol

RDC is another option

Would that extend the desktop (use the ppc as a monitor)?

yes..its a short form for REMOTE DESKTOP SHARING..just as u do in wiindows..btw which device do u have and which OS ?

I am on windows XP with an htc touch running wm6

With MyMobile you can do that!
You find it here

Not quite what i need, i use that to control my ppc, what I want is to actually use my ppc as a second monitor, but thanks NatroXz

if u have WM6..remote Desktop sharing is already their..just configure it to connect it to ur computer

ok, so that is letting me remote control my pc, how do i get it to act as a monitor instead? thanks so far!!

sorry a bit off subject
basically my mouse has died on me and i was wondering wheather there is a app to turn my ppc into a touch pad which would connect via activsync and control my pointer on my desktop pc ?????
thanks

yep, look up ppc tablet (not free mind)

Check out http://www.innobec.com/en/products.php for what I am looking for. It is good, but I want to find a free way of doing it, as it is quite handy having somthing like notepad open in the ppc whilst i work in the main screen

thanks for the reply i downloaded to software you recommended but it did not install on my x51v .
i ran the cab file and went through the set up ............it said it is installed but could not find it anywhere on the ppc looked in programs and file explorer ....nothing!
i ve got a axim x51v with a cooked a03 rom
thanks for your help

os x
I was just looking for a program like SideWindow for OS X - I can't find anything. Does anyone know of something that will let me use my WM6 device as an external monitor under OS X?

tehre´s any equivalent software? or anyone knows how to fix the problem with sidewindow?

I have not tried this on the Wizard (currently waiting for one) but I have used SOTI Pocket Controller extensively on many PocketPCs over the years. I find it much better than the MS tool. Not free but not expensive.
www.soti.net
(I have no connection with SOTI)
I use the attached tool for quite a while now, on wm2003, 2003se and wm5 devices, it works great.
I got it somewhere overhere i believe, so the credits go someone else..
copy the 2577 folder to the root of your storage card,
then eject, and insert the card, the first time the device will
ask if you want to run autorun, and you do, so, accept it.
from now on every time you insert your storage card, it will make a
screenshot in that folder 2577, no matter what screen you are in or app.
you are running (for as far as i know then)
good luck with it !
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, in the end I manage to grab a copy of Pocket-Controller Professional

Xphone IIm- Smartphone newb

howdy.. got rid of my 6 day old Atom after downgrading to it from a Mini, so now I have my first smartphone its awesome
After using the sites search feature to answer a dozen questions I had, I am left with a couple of quick questions I cant find answers to..
I use Windows Powertoys to view my phone on my pc's desktop, although it doesnt allow the same functionality as it does if you plug a PDA into it.
What else is there to use that will emulate the phone on a pc desktop?
Thanks
U can try Pocket Controller-Professional v5.05
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
Hey that looks pretty good.. thanks
Does exactly what I want.. you can send commands to the phone via the mouse.
Windows PowerToys doesnt allow that if you are using Windows Smartphone, only a PDA, CE device
Thanks
Err.. but wat i dun like is some software was installed in the phone right ?

APPLICATION WHICH HELPS YOU TO CONTROL YOUR UNI FROM DESTOP

Hi,
i am looking for an apllication to control myuniversal from a desktop computer.I have read it somewhere but i can't find the topic. What i want, is to use my PDA directly from desktop PC. As i remeber tha application was able togiv the full control to the PC and you was able to reach, run all appliacation and others from desktop monitor as if the desktop monitor would be display.
I need this because my screen had broken and before i send it to the service i need to use my PDA.

Try Microsoft Remote Display Control from this web link - but like with most applications you'll need to install it and run it on the Exec before you can connect to it so this may not be of much use...
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/wce/downloads/ppctoys.mspx#ELD
Start the "Remote Display Control Host" on your PC
Then on my Exec the key combination get this running once installed is:
Windows key->P (Open start menu and get to programs listing)
C then right arrow twice (Program is called "cerdisp" so on mine it's the 3rd application who's name starts with C, the first 2 being Calculator and Camera)
Enter then OK (Start the application and bypass the Microsoft copyright message)
C and then Enter (Connect and then accept the default hostname assuming you are using ActiveSync)
I hope this helps!

p.s. In my experience if you are using 640x480 this application only works in landscape. Not entirely sure why.
You want Pocket Controller from SOTI.
I use it at work - makes it easier to reply to texts - looks like I'm working while I'm actually arranging which pub to meet at that evening after work :wink:
That microsoft one is slick. Thanks!!! I have a wizard but this thread had recent activity so i checked it out. nice little app!!!.

No idea what you're talking about there, I'm using it right now to hit my desktop to reply to your post, from my WM5 HTC Universal...
*Edit - added in-use screen shot, resized way down - actual image quality is fantastic.
i used logmein on my PDA2K and now my T-Mobile MDA works great on both 2003SE and WM5.0
i just wish i had a bigger screen......
Did you use it thru PIE on WM5, cause I used thru Net Front 3.3...
It asks you to download some cab when you first use it, I did this, restarted and then it asked me to download again, again etc...
So using PIE ( pocket internet explorer ) does it work thru that ???
VNC...
I'm using RealVNC to start a VNC service on the desktop... You can download a free VNC server software from here:
http://www.realvnc.com/
As for the client, I'm using one from Mochasoft:
http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm
Low bandwidth requirement and most importantly speedy...

yes, must use PIE
Using TightVNC servic on the desktop (supports scaling) and .Net VNCviewer on the Exec. Good enough, fast enough, and free.
THE WINNER IS, HANDS DOWN...
z2 Remote2PC
Best Control, speed and visual controls, encryption, etc
For ease of use and "free is good" factor:
Logmein.com
- note:
When using logmein.com, PIE must be not be hacked. If changed from original version, it will not work (this was a month ago). Remote Desktop will connect but nothing will show up.
- tried with opera and also netfront, both didn't work for me.
opera would not even connect, and netfront will connect but won't show anything.
I concur with Net Front 3.3..
But z2 Remote PC, even after the Fuss of setting up an IP address at no-ip.com its all worth it.
I use PTvncWM5 to controll my home media pc.
It use verry low bandwidh on gprs
and looks great on Wifi
What do these offer beyond Terminal Services client? OK, TS logs you on in parallel on the server machine, but other than that? Seems pretty good on bandwidth and the age-old rule of "the less s/w you install, the less you'll screw up" applies :wink:
I got more toys and functions to play with via 2z remote2pc. Thats whyI chose this software.

Remote desktop mobile - h e l p please

Hi People
I'm searching for a great remote desktop mobile for my new HD2 and have problems to find something good.
I'd love to install LogMeIn, but i suppose is impossible at this moment,
This Night i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&NR=1&feature=fvwp
I suppose is from RDM plus, i install a demo version 3.7.6 and it is very different compared to the Remote desktop mobile from youtube Video.
Where can i find the remote desktop mobile from youtube video?
Need your help, please
Thanks
That's the remote desktop client that comes with Windows mobile 6.5. It's in your start menu, in the tools folder
boss the remote desk top shown in you tube vedio is same as in hd2 .........
its not different ........
Logmein - Ignition works just fine.
or as the others just said - just use the one that came with your HD2.
just wondering whether anyone could help us to set it up step by step...
also just wondering do you have to have a router or it can also work on wireless USB broadband (thats what i have)
I used the theme in our forum for this, but I didnt succeeded with it, because Im using PPPoE internet and when I set everything, their appears conflict and the internet drops...
I found the app already, but what I'm looking for is how I can setup the use of a remote desktop gatewayserver?
The server I address is an IP-address, but in the Windows 7 setting, I need to specify this gatewayserver.
I'm no admin, so I can't install something @ server side.
Thanks for your help!
Koen
PS I was even trying to run only Remote App, instead of Remote Desktop...

First off - well done on getting it working
Secondly, install BsB Tweaks (if you haven't already) as that will let you fix both zooming and auto-rotating in it.
In BsB you can say you want to add an app for either zooming or rotating (you do them seperately, but it's the same process). You'll have to shake the device to let BsB know which app to make changes for. Just make sure you do it on a connected session (in remote desktop), NOT the login screen. They're 2 different things.
