Alright guys, I finally found a Java App that will actually control your phone from your pc. This is not complicated. Thanks to acid256 for this open source project.

If your looking to do screenshots, use the java screenshot program in this thread

Features
- Mouse and keyboard control FOR ROOTED DEVICES ONLY
- Landscape mode (right click)
- Video recording
- Basic file browser

INSTRUCTIONS
Download Android sdk. Place android-sdk-windows folder on root of your C:\
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Download(skip login) and install JRE(JDK) 6
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp

Download the attached java file, unzip it, and just run it.
Place it anywhere you want. It doesnt have to be in the sdk folder like the screenshot program.

Make sure your phone is plugged in for a minute or two.
If you cant get it to control, run the automount app or dual mount sd widget.

Incubus26jc,
You are GOOD ! ! ! !

I've been Googling for something like this since I switched 100% to Android from WinMo (used MyMoblier).

Downloaded and tested it.
Works great!

Thank you so much for a great find!

ok so first off ill admit i am not a developer. i am tech savy but more so with program use and windows interface. i have absolutely no experience with serious programing.

i have a Droid, firmware 2.1-update1.
it is a company phone, so i dont feel comfortable rooting my device.

will there ever be a way to run this program, or one like it, without rooting my phone?

or does anyone know of a way i can dowload my phone data into an emulator, it run my apps in real time, live as if it was my phone, and then a way to upload any information or changes made to apps/info back onto the phone itself.

please excuse my noobness. just trying to learn as i go

the guy above me mentioned rooting his device. I am assuming that he means getting root access to the system. How can this be achieved?

Rooting only needs to be done on phones that come with android my default, our phones are already rooted.

He may have been talking about unlocking the phone...

Have you got USB debugging enabled within the application menu on the phone?

I had the same error and thats what it was. I just updated the rom and by default it was unchecked...

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now. The timeout issue is down to the service not starting to find the device.

Open a command prompt and navigate to the tools folder of your androidSDK download. type

Code: 
adb.exe devices

after this, do it again, it should now pickup your device. Run the app and it should work fine.

I've created a batch file to start all this up when I log into my Win7 machine and it works fine.

    If you can see but not use keyboard nor mouse, try this:

    adb shell
    su
    chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache
    cd /data/dalvik-cache
    chmod 777 ./*

    Credits to the one who found it.

    Working properly on Samsung Vibrant!!

    For those having trouble, Edit: First batch didn't work as well as I had hoped
    Instead, go to a command line and run the following commands (from where ever you have adb saved):

    adb shell <press enter>
    su <press enter> After this step, check your phone to see that it is asking for super user permissions, or that there is a message that says that SU permissions are granted

    mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system <press enter>
    chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh <press enter>
    exit <press enter>

    I also have to run the command 'adb devices' ever time, so I created batch that does that every time, then starts the JNLP file (phone.7z)

    you will have to extract both files, and if your SDK is on another drive/location, just edit the batch (they are simple)

    Enjoy!!

    as far as the power off situation - with winmo you could change the display timeout to 'always on when plugged in', but with android all i can recommend is going to settings>display>screen timeout and set it for 30 mins which is the max.
