[Tool][Windows] Control a device with a broken screen. Now with touchscreen support!!

[k.janku1]

I would like to present you my little program written in Visual Basic.
This tool lets you use your device through your Windows pc even if your touchscreen doesn't work or you can't see anything.
It uses droid@Screen, which wasn't made by me.

UPDATE!!! Full touchscreen support!
You need to have usb debugging enabled.
Enable usb debugging via recovery:

Adb shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >>/system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb" >>/system/build.prop"
reboot

for people who dont have adb enabled, i suggest you contact a kernel developer to automatically enable it in the default.prop and sideload the kernel in recovery!
i broke my S3 on stock so nothing was enabled.
i enabled adb via the default.prop and compiled the kernel and flashed in recovery(sideload).
now i have full control over the device.

If you have usb debugging enabled, just connect your phone to your pc and start the program, it should find it automatically

Thanks!

try to connect/disconnect or restart the adb server again and click on your phone if a window comes up with something like trust this comuter then just click yes.

Its really an usefull app! i just used it to try it but its really usefull if you have a broken screen.

Don't you find it a bit stupid to quote the whole op to ask a question ? Just sayin.
@k.janku1 I forgot... a very good app, super useful. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

The Droid@screen app should surely work with ubuntu cause its an java jar file, but the visual basic application you can try to run with whine i suppose.

 

[david black]

Thanks! This will come in handy on my girlfriend's Skyrocket with a shattered screen.

 

[Omario-242]

Would love to try this app.
Sadly I can't acquire a connection via Wifi. I certainly enabled
all the needed options on my device (LG Optimus 4X HD [p880]),
but as soon as I click on the adb connection button a cmd window
comes up with the path C:\User\MyName\Downloads\Tools (probably the path where it expect adb to be)
and if I move via "cd" to my adb and run it nothing happens.

On second try I was able to change the path via the droid@screen part of the app
but still nothing happens when I hit the button besides the cmd window coming up.

Will try the usb way now.

EDIT: USB way works perfectly fine :good:
Thanks for this!

 

[meanhacker]

thank you very much! data recovery should now be easy

Nice application :good::good:

thanks for the tool mate! i hope to see it cross compiled for linux soon aswell

 

[lohanchien]

Very nice! Works great. I have a suggestion, if it's even possible, a few months back I cracked the screen and digitizer at the same time. Turning the screen on would make the phone go haywire since it was registering multiple "touches" from the broken screen/digitizer. Anyway to implement this with the screen completely turned off? Just curious.

is there away for the tool to work if usb debugging wasn't enabled on my broken phone???

Some older versions of adb don't support wireless debugging, you also need to enable wireless debugging on your phone
