I was wondering if there was a way to remote access an android device from an android device for example, accessing my fire from my phone.
I am not an expert but suspect that a wireless network would be the only way because as far as I know the 'fire only has wireless interfacing. Hopefully I am wrong though
Well I Knew that It would have to be via wifi. What Im asking though is are there apps that allow for remote access between android devices.
you would need a vnc server on the one:

and a vnc viewer at the other:
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.androidVNC&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiYW5kcm9pZC5hbmRyb2lkVk5DIl0.
have never tried it but you could check it out
theoretically it should function
also from a pc or mac vnc viewer - there are plugins for browser
What are you trying to do? Wifi file explorer for filed. Google voice with desksms will allow you to text from your fire... etc

made a short search on the market for "remote desktop" - there are a lot of apps - maybe one of them is fitting your needs
sorry no more ideas ...

Those are usually for controlling a PC from the android device.

agree - tested some hours nightly
test pc (with browser) to kf:
there are some (vnc server on kf) which are used to control the kf from pc
basically they are working but they can't handle the screen rotation correctly
means the click points are disorted and you have no control
test galaxy tab (with browser) to kf:
nevertheless conection with the vnc server is working with javascript which i don't have on my vnc client test device
did search but java seems not to be available for android
anyone correct me if i'm wrong
still have to test with a vnc client on the galaxy tab ...
Is there a way of remote controlling the Nexus 7 from a PC without requiring root? All of the Android VNC servers that I've found seem to require root.
I would like to know this as well. Going the other way is easy, lots of good apps for that (Splashtop) but Windows to Android, not so much.
Hi all,
I was just curious, is there a way to access my Nexus 7 from my work PC?
I want to be able to download MOD's/Kernels etc and get the all ready for flashing when I get home.
I know about AirDroid, Splashtop etc, but you can just remote in.
For example, AirDroid needs the generated code (FROM DEVICE)....
Splashtop only goes from Nexus to PC.
Thanks,

Any recommending kind of remote GUI desktop server for Android instead not using CLI (Command Line Interface) using adb shell.
Anyone using the openvpn on Nvidia Shield and Do I need rooted to use openvpn?
I wanted to use torrent client via remote desktop access my Nvidia Shield from my PC Windows 7 while not interrupt my daughter watching the show Netflix on the Nvidia Shield etc.
I would recommend using a seedbox!
Roger that, I noticed Reddit mentioned best way to get seedbox somewhere outside of U.S. Anyways thanks, I guess i'll go get Whitebox or Feral seedbox.
Has anyone set up a VPN application on the Shield? How well does it work? Any recommendations?
TeamViewer doesn't give remote control, just file-level stuff.
I used OpenVPN on my Nvidia Shield Pro, It worked fine as long as the VPN Provider give you the key and config file and however sometime the VPN disconnected then reconnect few times in an hour alone. Not very stable. I gave up because I don't want risk leaking E.g. DNS leak and IP address leak coming from torrent. Like @n1gh7mar3 said seedbox is best and safe. I will just wait whosoever make better ROM or UbuntuOS under MultiROM support for Nvidia Shield that something will provide a very stable and easy use VPN.
Where I live and my ISP spying my traffic. so this is the reason I asked and took @n1gh7mar3 advice.
My Fire Stick arrived today (3/27/2018), and after getting Kodi installed, the next thing on my To Do list was getting PIA working. First I tried getting it setup through my router, but the speed was incredibly slow through the OpenVPN configuration on my router.
After reading on a rather old thread that someone got PIA working, I decided to give it a shot, and with a little tweaking, I got it working.
1. You need to have Downloader installed for the first step. I've uploaded the PIA apk to my private server. Here's the link:
Code:
http://bit.ly/2Gd1DIB
2. After Downloader does its thing, install the apk. Just a note, the first time I tried to install, it failed. After the second time, it successfully installed.
3. PIA won't show up on your list of installed applications, but it's there, and there's a way to open it. You'll need to download ES File Explorer, which will let you open 3rd party apps that have been installed, but don't appear in the Fire TV GUI.
4. For configuring PIA properly, at the very least you'll need a mouse connected to your Fire Stick. For the record, USB will work, provided you have a USB OTG adapter like this one. I'm sure bluetooth works too. Based on my personal testing with the various PIA servers, the Midwest and Western servers seemed to be the quickest.
5. Using the mouse to navigate the PIA app, you'll need to enter your login information. After that, select your preferred region, and in the settings, enable the "connect on boot" option.
That's it!

I have been running pia vpn since I got my Firestick a couple years ago and have not noticed any streaming issues. I dump out on a Swiss server because streaming and downloading of copyrighted material is fine as long as it is personal use for now but the Netherlands was good but they are cracking down. Gave up on Kodi and run Terriaum tv as the addons are useless. Working on setting up a Nuc i3 with Debian os and doing a split tunnel vpn and reverse proxy for a Usenet/Torrent downloader as they are really cracking down on these streaming APKs. So far it has been a pain due to learning Linux, setting up a headless server, screwing with iptables, router and revere proxy bs.

It will be slightly slower than your ISP's normal bandwidth speed, but that's true of every VPN. Using the PIA app on my MacBook, I've had speeds up to 40 Mbps, which is more than adequate for streaming.
Having used PIA now for going on a third year, it's been very reliable, and the cost is very reasonable.
Hey yall!..im very new to this whole vpn thing and really kind of computer stupid..lol...but i read all the time about getting a vpn to protect your privacy and all..so i purchasd PIA for my firestick..my question is how do i know if its working?.any help at at all would bd greatly appreciated..ty in advance!
Easy PIA fire stick installation.
I read the instructions for the previous installation of PIA on the fire stick and feel those are a bit cumbersome. The process from my perspective also adds unnecessary
applications to the fire stick.
What I've done as an alternative is install apps2fire on my phone and then any application I want installed on the fire stick can be installed.
1) Application gets installed on my phone. (TEA tv, PIA...)
2) Open up Apps2fire and put in the IP of the fire stick.
3) In Apps2Fire select the application you want installed on the fire stick.
4) Select install and give it a few minutes
5) Go to applications in the Fire Stick menu and open up the app and configure.
Have fun
PIA for fire.
Much easier way to install PIA on a fire device. Use the Downloader App, and use bit.ly/Piafire, and your done. It doesn’t work on fire sticks.

I've been using PIA on my home PC for a while and it works great, but on the FireTV, I have major issues with streaming for some reason. Apps like popcorn time and such will pull a fast streaming speed the first min or two but then it will literally drop to 0kb/sec and continue to yoyo up and down, making any streaming unwatchable. I have no such issues using it on my PC.
This is on a 2nd gen fire stick and 2nd gen FireTV (Gaming edition)
And there's a much easier way to install it on your fire TV. Just download the Apps2Fire app to you phone or tablet and it will push any app installed on that device to your fire TV. I've installed a ton of apps this way to my FireTV's and it takes like 2 mins without wasting time with that crappy downloader app.
