VNC/RDP on Nook Simple Touch with NoRefresh - Nook Touch General

Hello,
Has anyone been able to make VNC / RDP on NST usable for text editing? I know it's not practical, since we are limited by the protocol, e-ink refresh, and the 800x600 resolution, but I just wanted to see if it can be done. With NoRefresh on, I've tried:
Clients apps for 2.1+:
AndroidVNC
RemoteVNC Pro
PocketCloud RDP and VNC
Remote Ripple
Servers:
I've tried x11vnc and xrdp on Linux, built-in screen sharing and vine-server on macOS, and RDP on Windows.
The most usable combo seems to be vine-server on macOS at 800x600 and Remote VNC on nook, as the mouse and keyboard are less delayed, but there's still ~1-2 sec of latency which seems to be normal. I can't really test out RDP fully because I don't have a keyboard and mouse on my Nook. but based on the performance of the on-screen mouse and keyboard, it doesn't seem to be any better.
Here are some threads about it:
NST as computer display (VNC)
VNC on NST

Maybe something useful here?
Nook Simple Touch Tweaked to run Linux Distros
Running Backtrack 5 ontop of android system. Attempting to get xserver to run. So that I don't have to use vncviewer!
hackaday.io

Thanks. I can get it to work as a vnc viewer, but I was wondering if there's any other solution that could decrease the latency. All of the apps like Splashtop, USB Mobile Monitor, etc require updated versions of Android so I guess this is the best that can be done.

[Wizard] to PC Remote Access - any help or advice?

Hi! Hope you could help me (again) :?
First I need to tell - I was searching the forum and net, but unfortunately I can't find what I'm exactly looking for.
(I'm asking about Wizard not Universal / Himalaya...)
What is in your opinion the best (easiest, fastest, most readable with 320x240 resolution, working full screen and in landscape mode, cheapest...) way to remotely connect to the desktop workstation?
[1] Connecting to the Linux box
1A. Command line / shell via ssh/ssh2 – there’s no need to use any special server software nor configuration, but there’s a question about the best client software. Right now I'm going to use http://www.pocketputty.net/. Did you try any of these with Wizard?
PocketPuTTY 0.1 for WM2003 (stable)
PocketPuTTY 0.2 for PPC2002 (highly experimental, unstable)
PocketPuTTY 2006-05-04 dev snapshot for WM2003 (latest, highly experimental)
How stable is the “dev snapshot” version and is there any other (free or almost free) ssh/ssh2 client for PocketPC?
I used to use PuTTY for Symbian S60 and it worked like a charm...
1B. Remote Desktop – what is the best client-server software to do it?
I used to use VNC for Linux PC – Linux PC connection, but I’m not sure if it’s good idea to use VNC with (so) small screen. Any tips and tricks or suggestions how to configure both ends?
[2] Connecting to WindowsXP PC
2A. Command line / shell via ssh/ssh2 – is it possible at all?
Will I need software acting as a server on the PC or there is this kind of software already in the system? Tips & Tricks & configuration examples are very welcome
2B. Remote Desktop – the best client & server software to do it?
Should I use VNC (server and client, like under Linux) or Remote Desktop server already incorporated in WinXP (what about the client in this case)?
And finally – where I can find a manual, help files or specification of the TSC pre installed on my device? Is this software useable?
Maybe I’m looking for something I already have…
Sorry for plenty of questions, but longer I'm searching - more questions I have.
I really appreciate yours opinions
All advices, links, PM's are very, very welcome
Thanks in advance

To use the pre installed terminal server you need to turn on remote desktop (winxp pro) and input your ip address on the wizard in the terminal server application, as long as your firewall is configured to allow the connection you should be able to control your pc using the software you already have, alternatively you can use services like log me in etc.
good luck
post back if you hit trouble
Rob
I use logmein.com's basic, free service. simple, quick, encrypted and you dont have to remember ip's or anything.
try http://gomyplace.com/ if you need something simple just to browse files on the remote and execute commands in the command shell
you will need just a regular internet browser to access the remot host
free, open source (GPL), works in NATed, firewalled environments, dynamic IPs, etc.
runs on Linux/Win32/Mac requires Java on the host machine
client needs only internet browser
Linux
PocketPuTTy is the way to go for connecting to a linux machine remotely, I'm using the latest dev build on my PDA and haven't found any issues yet, although i have only been using it for about 2 days. It works fine on the screensize too as its only command line.
Windows
I wouldn't even bother with command line for windows, as its horribly underpowered and wont provide you with much usability. It is possible to run SSH on windows, but like I said, I would see no reason too.
I used to have a VNC client for my old Axim X50 which ran great, it supported screen scaling, so it would fit my entire 1600x1280 screen onto the PDA no problems, and zoomed in when I required. It was only really usable to perform very simple tasks, but thats all I needed. Unfortunately I don't remember the clients name, however there are a number on the market that provide the same features.. maybe trying the following?
http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/pt_vnc_WM5.htm
I use realVNC for my server. Oh and any VNC client should work with any VNC server, so if you installed VNC on linux, this should work fine.
Hope that helps

Remote Desktop Resolution

I'm running WM6 (and WM5 behaved the same way) Remote Desktop and need the desktop resolution of 1024x768. I understand I will do some scrolling because of the native 640x480. I'll just do quite a bit less than on my 8525 (TyTn).
The 8525 and the Athena give me the same server desktop size. On the 8525 I get scroll bars to scroll around the 640x480 virtual desktop using it's 320x240 screen. On the Athena I get the 640x480 desktop and no scrolling. Nice but since the program on the server needs 1024x768 I'm still stuck. Is there anyway to set the resolution like on the desktop version of the Remote Desktop Client? The only option is "fit remote desktop to screen" on the Athena.
I monitor multiple servers and some of the management tools need bigger than 640x480. My whole organization is Remote Desktop so installing another remote control system is not an option.
you can use vnc insted
Can't use VNC

I have 20 servers in our environment and installing VNC would be a chore not to mention. I don't like to install ANYTHING on production servers. Hence the need for 1024x768 in RDP.
It's odd that 320x240 allows you to scroll to 640x480 but no other resolution is available for 640x480.
By the way I love the old VNC. I used to use it on my PDQ Smartphone by Kyocera running Palm OS in 2001. Back then it would allow scaling. It seems silly that RDP can't do the same.

qvga screens have to allow scrolling otherwise the application would be unusable! Is there any way to scale your applications at the server end to be compliant with VGA resolution? what issues does it throw up? As far as I know VNC is your only alternative. You could try running remote desktop in portrait mode to see if that helps your cause any....
shame there's no application to allow resolution interpolation (as seen on 800 by 480 oqo UMPCs) this might 'trick' the remote desktop client into thinking it was running on a 1024 by 768 display and scale it accordingly.
I think I'm talking rubbish. Anyway maybe remote desktop client has a set resolution that it scales to: i.e. 640*480.
NYDITOT
I know Nyditot used to work on my ipaq but it's functionality on WM 6 is another story.
Does anyone have any experience with it on the Athena other than:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1379191&postcount=1
The following link gives hope:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1787128&postcount=11
The mocha client mentions that they didn't use higher resoutions because of licensing concerns and Microsoft. Bummer.
Vijay555 says the 640x480 resolution is hardcoded.
Does anyone have a microsoft contact to find out if there is an update coming in WM 6.1 / WM 7?
I had this working fine with the latest nyditot (you have to reboot with the keyboard disconnected) but dropped it when I went to the far far far superior Z2software remote 2PC
i used vnc from desktops but tinyvnc client connected without problems to windows RDP.(but colors is little shaped compared to ms rdp client)
in my sight your problem is good rdp client software.. try vnc, sources available maybe you can even find or implement rdp desktop image software zoom on pda.
Sort of ...
I did this yesterday, I RDP'd to a PC and then from there RDP'd to the server I needed access to. The PC connected to the server with a 1024 x 768 connection, so with scrolling I was able to move around the remote server's screen.
Not perfect by any means, but it does the job if needed.

where you using Real VGA? If so did you have to go back to standard resolution reset then start nyditot then reset?
I have the same problem. My servers use 1024x768 resolution and many things dont work well with only a 640x480 desktop (which is what I get with Remote Desktop Mobile). I did try the mocha one and it works a little better, but only allows up to 800x600. I need one that supports at least 1024x768, anyone know of a RDP mobile client that would support 1024x768?

Yes www.z2software.com supports what ever res your computer is running and gives you the option to zoom in to 640X480 or closer
@hammermedia, yes I was using real VGA it worked well all you had to do, when first activiating nyditot reboot with the keyboard disconnected ! and when you get into Remote desktop go into the settings and tick "FULL SCREEN" and "FIT REMOTE DESKTOP TO SCREEN"
I will suggest to check the LOGMEIN professional solutions ( www.logmein.com, the IT reach solution or the PRO solution. May be you will discover also that the FREE solution is enought ).
Test them for free.
I managed a medium sized IT company and the remote production machines management is ALWAYS a pain in.... and no solution is the "final solution".
In Logmein I love the resolution settings, (I use 800x600 resized on athena) and the settings to improve the speed and screen size on-the-fly
In 1024x768 on the athena I use the external mouse and just moving it in the corner the screen it scrolls in the direction needed, and is really fast.
The client is an IE or pocket IE plugin (firefox client available)

Another thumbs-up on LogMeIn. I use the free version for home and the "Pro" version for work, which allows more features like file transfer. It allows resetting the resolution on the host, then scaling the display (auto or a certain percent) on the Athena so you can get optimal control. The touchscreen sends mouse events. Very usable.

it's true that it does not use MS remote desktop, it uses there own s/ware but it is truly excellent ! far superior to the MS stuff
Do any solutions offer remote sound so that I can hear my pc's sound on my phone? I've tried LogMeIn, the Z2 app, and the normal MS RD. None of them will actually let me hear the sound of my desktop (i.e. if I play a music file). LogMeIn says it supports remote sound on the Pro version, but I tried it, and it must only work with other desktop pc's and not pocket pc's.
if you want to listen to music from your computer at home, I suggest you install ORB as it is free of charges and excellent ! (+ you can watch videos from home too)
The sound quality over RDP is poor and scratchy, it is also buffered badly
How about this one: http://www.zatelnet.com/zadesktop/main.php
Haven't tried it so no idea, but it does say it supports 1024x768 over RDP
excellent
i have just started using LogMeIn for remote desktop, it is significantly better than RDP although requires a bit of set up.
for remote admin and access to standard windows apps from the Athena it is really very good.
Mocha
I installed the Mocha client and it works pretty good for 800x600.
The whole point of RDP is that it's standard on Windows PC's and it works well in low bandwidth much better than VNC. Don't get me wrong, I love VNC and have been using it for almost 10 years on my home PC.
However, I have a dozen Windows servers that must run 24 hours a day and I don't install ANYTHING on them if I can help it. It's a matter of stability.

[Q] RDP remote desktop client on DroidPro?

Hi all,
Is there anyone working fine with an RDP / remote desktop client from the droid pro?
I wish to use the quite expensive Wyse PocketCloud app (the best on tablets and 5row qwerty's) but it does not work.
I am trying other apps:
- 2x client: not working numbers just as PocketCloud, working SW keyboard! To use for portrait keyboard too in some way
- Remote RDP lite / free + pro version working HW w/ issue, no sw keyboard
(Physical numeric keyboard works if you press and then release ALT and then the number. Still not perfect usability but you can get through work easier)
- FastestRDP / AccessToGo by Ericom HW keyboard works fine, but is no good as in responsiveness. No sw keyboard
If anyone has other suggestions please share them!
I am writing to Wyse support to see if they can mix the best of functions: working sw keyb from 2x and HW keyb from Ericom.
Cheers!
I'm running RealVNC on Windows XP and connecting to it with my Droid Pro with VNC Viewer. In order to get a good software keyboard up I was recommended to try Smart Keyboard Pro. It works very well on the pro in landscape mode. I haven't gotten it to work in portrait mode, which would be a nice option.
I also tried the Wyse Pocketcloud app and had troubles with it unless I gave them my google account and installed their program on my computer. Wyse is supposed to be able to connect over VNC and RDP connections. I wasn't able to get it to connect easily using VNC. I've never messed with RDP because I've always used VNC.
wyse pocketcloud
Yo no luck with smart keyb pro.. Try 2x client (but it is only rdp) with sw keyb portrait mode or the others with hw keyb working well (ericom is the most straight forward use, remote rdp is more fluent in screen but fn must be separatedly pressed from the number.)
I actually much prefer rdp (not from android really but to work on from windows and linux pc's) as it autoscales resolution to fill the size of the screen you're on in fullscreen mode and it is faster imho.
VNC can set encryption on any windows and linux box but still no comparison to me.
So... pocketcloud works fine with no need google account, just skip and add a new connection.
I bought the app for multi profiles as it is the best solution I found (rdp + vnc) as in speed and usability.
No google account for me (as if it was related... rdp / vnc and... google account? need no help in configuring it), and I will netstat my tablet to get block via hosts the connection to their site (I get no network very often if offline).
Anyway on droid pro the app is still great but too many issues if not in landscape + sw keyb... and the droid pro looses it's point like this... Even connect bot is landscape... bleah..

full control of my home (windows7) PC with my TF

Can I control my home PC (windows7) with my TF? To be more specific: I own a projector and have a Home Theater room. I want to be able to see the same on my TF tablet as what is shown on my projector, so kind of like a secondary monitor.
You can use teamviwier app that with it you could use your pc throw your tf

You can use VNC Viewer to control your PC after you install VNC on it.
Slapshtop 2 HD is free right now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDMsImNvbS5zcGxhc2h0b3AucmVtb3RlLnBhZC52MiJd
+1 for Splashtop 2 HD
There are at least 3 different options which I have tried:
VNC
+ cross platform
+ lightweight
+ well renowned + used
- can be quite slow
- can be quite low quality
- by default, requires setting up NAT to access from outside LAN
- no sound I don't think
Splashtop THD
+ super fast and smooth (like realtime)
+ sends audio as well
+ excellent quality picture
+ easy to use outside LAN (no worries regarding portforwarding if you login with google)
- no linux client
note: splashtop 2 isn't free if you want to connect from outside your LAN
note2: if you choose this, try find Splashtop THD, it's optimized for Tegra, but not accessible through market on TF101 by default.
TeamViewer7
+ super fast
+ excellent quality picture
+ super easy management of multiple computers
+ easy to use outside of LAN
+ free for non-commercial use
+ cross platform (linux clients available)
+ no install required (can run from USB)
= uses different interface to others, instead of touching where you want to click, you use the touchscreen like you would a mousepad on the laptop to move the cursor, then tap to click. I like it personally, but I have stuby fingers and high resolution windows desktops not conductive towards touch interface
- no sound by default (I don't think - not really tested with sound:S)
- For some reason, when I disconnect, and reconnect the next day to my VM, all my windows are closed. This maybe something I've done wrong though.
Personally, for me, I chose TeamViewer because I needed linux clients as well. Any of the above would probably be okay for your needs. If you're wanting to interact with it, I'd suggest teamviewer because the mouse control works better with the small controls of Windows.

Just tried teamviever (first program I tried) but don t like it for 2 reasons:
- cannot use TF hardware KB+MOUSE
- screen isn t filled fully (although it will become tiny if full screen but that does not matter to me)
btw.: Splahtop THD seems to be only for Tegra 3 devices. The TF1 (non-prime) is Tegra 2.
yeah, teamviewer is different. It's better for phones I think - but I prefer it's interface now after some time. My fingers are too stubby just to try and press the start bar or whatever.
Regarding the screen, you can pinch to zoom to fill the screen. Also, in the settings when connected, you can adjust the resolution to match the screen.
Regarding splashtop THD, as I said, you wont find it in the market on the TF101. Perhaps you can think of a different way to acquire it, which I'm not necessarily condoning, involving google and the term "APK". It will install on the TF101. It's a lot smoother and better than regular splashtop though.
I would use just splashtop THD over teamviewer, it's just there's no linux client for splashtop which is a must for me.
RDP
I prefer the 2X app. It uses RDP and the terminal-server capabilities of W7 prof.
HW-mouse and HW-keyboard are working fine.
Logmein
Logmein works good and also lets you control any computer including Mac. Keyboard/dock works.
I use pocketcloud, has RDP and VNC and it has never failed me yet. I would choose any vnc based solution last for win7 prof since prof has RDP functionality and one of the features is auto resize of the whole desktop when you log in which comes in handy since i hate scrolling around
You could take a look at Jump Desktop
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Jump+Desktop&c=apps
It's absolutly amazin and works like a charm! There is a free version for 1 connecton and the paid version is at discount price on the moment normally 8 euros, and now it's 2 euro's. It's worth it!
+1 to splashtop and its free
Also give a try to TeamViewer. It doesn't use RDP but you can install it on Windows as a service.
On the tablet the remote desktop will be resized without changing the remote screen resolution. Furthermore its tablet useability is awesome. Just give it a try... it's free for non commercial use. I use it even on my Nexus S!
Some names: Splashtop (free for our tablet), teamviewer, LogMeIn (a little bit expansive). My choice? The first one.

I started off using pocketcloud because it used RDP. I'd highly suggest you at least try using splashtop as it's a lot quicker I found than pocketcloud.

Remote Desktop of your Raspberry Pi

So you have that new Raspberry Pi all set up with Raspbian and you to use it you have to connect a keyboard and mouse. Maybe you share this keyboard and mouse with another computer (like me) or maybe you have the Raspberry Pi hidden in a console (again, like me) and it's difficult to plug in your devices.
OK, here is a solution so simple it is unreal.
Plug in that keyboard and mouse for the last time OR SSH to your Raspberry Pi (you do have SSH set up right?), open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install xrdp
If you did not SSH in then you will need to run this command also to get the ip address of the Raspberry Pi:
ifconfig eth0
Note the IP address.
For LInux:
Install the following:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop
then run
rdesktop (IP address of your Raspberry Pi)
then at the Login to xrdp:
User name of your Raspberry Pi
Password of your Raspberry Pi
Profit!
Non-Linux:
windoze-
start remote desktop and enter IP address then follow Login to xrdp steps above.
fruit systems-
try installing this: http://cord.sourceforge.net/ and then connect to the Raspberry Pi as above.

Easy as PI.
I don't like the raspi with desktop environmdent, it's laggy (more with vnc). ssh ftw!
Overclock it!

For X Window apps, the best way to run is ’ssh -X [email protected]_IP’.
Of course we need an X server running, but I’m a linux user.
You just solved a bit problem for me
Actually two.
1. As I do not have a TV or monitor with HDMI input, I had to use this converter for VGA and the display is crappy. The very first thing I do on such RPi is enabling SSH. But from now on, all I have is SSH. I now have much better to work and mnage my RPi's. COOL !!!!!
2. I was also having an issue with my virtual servers, one of which hosts an install of the Android development tools. So far, I was using NX to connect, but since some version of Ubuntu, I could not start an Android VM remotely. Some missing modules, or configuration. I hated this. I was using NX for a long time now. This xrdp seems to work fine. I installed it on a test machine with Android SDK stuff, and voila !! I can start the virtual Android machine no problem.
Great info !!!!!!!

I have a similar problem, except that I share my monitor with my son and his Raspberry Pi. Both of us are building and programming different robots using the RPi and arduino controllers. So I get very little time at the actual keyboard. I did something similar except I am using tightvnc on the RPI and then Remote Ripple on my Nexus 10 and Kyocera phone and then tightvnc java viewer on my windows laptop (if I ever use it, mostly just a cloud print server) . The Nexus 10 being the main computer I use along with my RPi. Full GUI of my RPi Xwindow or SSH shell account on the RPI. (if you can do it on the RPi, you can do it on your nexus! (except remote raspicam/raspivideo.. not yet available.. it will be though!)).
Several different ways to do this, to each their own... but I wanted my N10 client to be made by the same developer as the VNC server. Tightvnc has a large following, so that is good. I did have to pay $5 for the Android version Remote Ripple (tightvnc android client). But I don't mind supporting the authors of quality software (not forced too.. hear that MS!)
you do feel a lag from being on a wireless network, but it is nice being able to log it anytime from anywhere (not just home wifi, I can also use my PI over the internet!)

(except remote raspicam/raspivideo.. not yet available.. it will be though!)).
Several different ways to do this, to each their own... but I wanted my N10 client to be made by the same developer as the VNC server. Tightvnc has a large following, so that is good. I did have to pay $5 for the Android version Remote Ripple (tightvnc android client). But I don't mind supporting the authors of quality software (not forced too.. hear that MS!)
you do feel a lag from being on a wireless network, but it is nice being able to log it anytime from anywhere (not just home wifi, I can also use my PI over the internet!)
