[Q] Control HTC Evo through Computer

---

Hey recently ive decided that I want to replace my stereo in my car with a mac mini and an external tough screen. I first thought I would try to use the HDMI feature of the Evo to view my phone on the screen, but I would want it to be interactive on the screen. So then I decided I should find a program that will allow me to use my Evo through a usb cord so the Evo displays on in a window on my mac or windows pc and i can interact with it from there. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? Or does anyone wanna take on this project?

There is a thread on this topic in Q&A. I saw it maybe 2 days ago. Has a few suggested apps to control your evo via pc or vice versa.

hahaha i know. but those run through the web and i cant share the same connection if im creating the wifi form my phone.

and the ones that i found that go through usb, which is 1, refreshes and 4 frames a second =/

you could wire up a wifi router..

Here's the thread he was talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971209

Anyway...

I used this: Droid VNC Server (FREE, requires root)

And this: VNC® Viewer Free Edition 4.1 for Windows (also free)

It's pretty choppy, but it works.

If you don't have Windows, pretty much any VNC viewer will work, there's lots of them out there (Google it).

Appreciate it. And yea. The last two days I've been doing research and trying out different ones, and everything had been laggy or choppy. I made this hoping to find a hidden gem that worked perfectly or someone that knew how to get it working flawlessly

Try mymobiler, it works perfectly for me. Just go google "mymobiler", it is the first result comes up.

Google android screencast, as long as your phone can be detected by adb it works great!
