Is there a way to actually control my phone from my computer? I mean, if I want to send out a text or something and don't want to have to pull it off the dock, or if I want do do something with the phone or whatever and just leave it on the dock, is there a program somewhere that allows that?
I knwo we can create virtual devices and stuff, but I want to take it a step further.

Yeah, well I dont wanna have to wait 10 minutes for their crap site to load (since the redesign). I want to be able to do whatever I want with my phone like I was 'touching' it, but with my mouse.
Haha have you guys tried PicMe?? Im quite sure that may be what you're looking for. You can control your device with your mouse, and you can use your keyboard to type.
Hope this helps
If all you want to do is control your phone Picme will work, but after trying it last night I found out that it would not work if the screen went to sleep. If you want to be able to access files from anywhere then I will post a thread of what needs to be done to get it to work once I finish getting it setup. Right now i have a website redirect to my phone using dyndns service but have not been able to get any app to recognize my external ip address.
I think I may have gotten something. I will let you know shortly
Hell to the yeah (oH THAT'S NOT COOL TO SAY ANYMORE)
Here is what I want to do.
1. Control my phone from any computer over wifi or internet
2. Access my phone from any computer over wifi or internet
I started messing with android's vnc server here. It looks like our kernel needs to be modified to use it correctly, but it still doesn't allow access to the content on the phone. I can also use swiFTP to access my phone storage over wireless but not through the internet
I have installed dyndns on my phone and have a website redirect to my phone and can verify that it does work because I used it for Picme.
I have also tried another ftp server, but could not get it to work over the internet.
Here is an app that is suppose to work on the phone as avnc server, but I can't get it to work..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6896000#post6896000
i can't work on any of this until later tonight.
i dont know if its completley possible, itll be a little difficult
What's crazy is in the past 2 days I have seen 5 threads started on xda about this same thing which I found doing searches. Do people not search.

i do have the same issue.. after i enter my passcode, the screen goes white and that's it.
I tried mine out after I read your post. Mine works fine until after I put in my password and then the screen just goes blank white. Does that happen with you too?
I've the same problem. Its just not bank of america. Discover is having similar issues. Maybe someone will come with a fix.

Same here, although I did go on the browser (cuz it was important) and used their site there. When I brought it up, an warning message came up telling me the certificate was invalid, and asked me to either continue or cancel. [I clicked continue, it was way too important even though I shouldnt have]
Rooted and Deodexed on 1.83 on stock.
i have the same problem with all the banking apps
i also had problems with another app just cant remember the name
i thinks its a universal problem with the software that is 1.8.3
Chase's does not work either.
hehe...........
Same issue here with BoA. There is a thread somewhere about all the banking apps messing up. Hope we get a fix soon cos' I use them a lot.

Damnit.. I guess this explains why my Chase app stopped working.. Good Work moto... 1.8.3 really did more harm than good... my fingerprint reader and wifi are kinda screwy now too..
BTW, BOA had a 10-12 our long web access meltdown the other day. Customers couldn't log in from phones OR computers for quite some hours, no explanation from BOA but I did see one mention of a DOS attack on the BOA system, so the problem might not be in your phones, or the app, at all.
same problem w boa app...pls fix

Odd my bofa works on build 183 though it's gingerblur.
[Edit] fingerprint works better than ever? Moto FTL.
I'm sure you have your reasons not being on Gingerblur already but maybe it's time to switch. I personally love it, though I use paid adw launcher (which just had a boss update come to the ging-side ^_^

Fix for the BoA issue
I found the following post on another forum and thought I'd share it.
http://androidforums.com/atrix-4g-s...ca-app-not-working-after-update-4-1-83-a.html
Mainly, this post by rmarc71 :
-----
I was able to fix the app by doing the following (seems the trust store got screwed up with the new release):
Grab all the certs from the bank of america cert chain (I used openssl, you could probably use something else):
openssl s_client -connect www.bankofamerica.com:443 -showcerts
Grab each of the trust certs (3 total) and put them in files ending in .crt
IE: cert1.crt, cert2.crt, cert3.crt (you could also create a pkcs12 out of 'em if you are inclined to do so).
This is likely the problem with other apps noted in this thread.
Place the files into internal storage download directory. Then go to Settings -> Location & Security -> Creential storage -> Install from internal phone storage.
Use: Certificate Manager and you should see your 3 available certs. Add them and then reboot the phone.
----
After the above procedure, I was able to log in using the BofA app.
Maybe same would work with other banking apps as well.
Regards,

Did you read the rest of that thread?
It didn't work for anybody else as far as I saw when I read through a different thread with the same content yesterday, and someone had a post about the certs and why this didn't work.
Also, this was right below what you copied and pasted from there:
"this didnt work for me for some reason, but when i did a brute force approach of getting all verisign certs, I was all set.
I just tried this on my phone and got both Bank of America and American Express apps to work again.
I ended up exporting all Verisign and GT certificates in .crt format using my Firefox browser, copying them to my Dropbox account (emailing them should be fine too) and installing them one by one on the phone. You need to reboot your phone after installing the certificates...
You can also figure out which certificates you need by clicking on the padlock or company name in the browser's URL bar "
Where do you place epub files so that the nook app will detect it?
I place mine on my uSD. Makes it easy to locate and use. Have not tried the Nook App as I find Aldiko more to my liking. Have read the Nook App "loses" files. Not sure if that's replicated.

Put them in the same place the app is storing the Nook books. If you don't have any yet, download a free book or free preview so you can see where it ends up.

That is if that is where her's are stored. I set mine up so everything was installed on the eMMC because I was having issues with the app trying to read large books off the card.
I use the app Overdrive for epub books. Great app and it works flawlessly.
Just my 2 pennies.
Actually, I placed the books on both the uSD ad eMMC, same.directories. Nook app still doesn't detect it. Ill be trying aldiko.

When you opened the nook app did you select my files instead of books? For some reason this is where the side loaded epubs will appear.

Mine would only read epubs from the sdcard so I suggested that directory as the most likely spot for success.

I gave up using the nook app altogether! I use aldiko now and It's very good.

Cool Reader is an excellent app 2 read epubs (and plenty of other formats for that matter). It also will pull and detect any book stored. You can even pull them from your emmc( w/o using root explorer to move them to sd).. I like it better than adilko. Only downfall is it supports everything other than PDF.oh..u can bookmark any page, and it formats any book beautifully to your liking in settings.
On my NC, Nook App won't work if there is no external uSD plugged in.
Just simple can't read anything from eMMC (or I don't know how to set it to look through other folders)

Uninstall the app, delete any folders it may have created, then go into the CM settings for applications and change the location apps are installed from automatic to internal. Reboot and reinstall the app. Then you can change the settings back and the app will now stay on the internal memory as will all B&N downloaded books, papers, etc.

I'm not 100% but 99% pretty sure that I had done that setup for my NC when I first installed the CM7 onto eMMC. I haven't checked back for long time.
I'll take a look at it and re-install the app and see what happens.
Thanks m8
Hope it works for you. I could not open any books other than small previews and periodicals until I did that.
I JUST (I mean literally an hour ago) rooted my nook color to cm7 and I too am wondering where to put my books! I have a bunch I didn't get from the bn store that are currently on my computer. I assume that the books I didn't buy with BN will be easy to transfer to Adilko, but how do you get books from your nook library into Adilko?
As the title states I'm coming from an Evo Shift. I'd like advise on how to best transfer my info and files to my new GS4 in advance of its arrival. This is only my second android device so I'm still a noob. Any advice is appreciated.
I've backed up my contacts to gmail and to the MicroSD. Backed up files onto my comp. Just want my bases covered for when I do activate the new phone.
Make sure Google backup is enabled. Other than that, you're good to go.

This basically covers it up, when you log into the your Google account on the new device it will restore everything you've backed up on to your Google account (when logging in there will be an option to keep your phone backed up with Google and make sure you select that) and all your files and such just transfer those on over in whatever way is most convenient for you - be it via usb, Dropbox, etc. Plus the apps you've downloaded should be listed under My Apps in the store so you can easily download apps you had on your phone.
Congratulations on the big big upgrade! Your going to love the S4 is a great phone and I was coming from the S3 so you should even enjoy this amazing phone even more! :thumbup:

I've been watching a lot of Nexus Player videos on YouTube, but I haven't seen one yet that shows anyone being able to skip the online portion of the system setup in the beginning. Is it possible to choose to not link any accounts or anything to the Nexus Player and use it COMPLETELY offline forever, without ever connecting to the Internet or logging into any accounts?

It seems so, but you would be limited in what it could do. You couldn't chromecast without a Wi-Fi connection. You couldn't stream videos either. You could only play videos off a USB stick (if you root).

I'm okay with the restrictions for now. I just wanted to be sure that if I wanted to set it up completely offline for the purposes of rooting and sideloading that it could be done if necessary. I have fine wifi, I'm just making sure I can do everything locally in case support for the device is just completely dropped in the future.

What I should have also said was that you have to set it up once via Wi-Fi. After that, you can use it without restrictions for local content.

Oh, so you really are REQUIRED to set it up online once? You can't even skip the initial setup?
I'm pretty sure you are required to login once to use it. Once you do that though, you can root it, put custom roms on, or whatever. I doubt there will be many problems if/when support for it is dropped.

Ah, that's a good point, huh? If I can get in just the initial time, I can basically put a bunch of stuff on there to prevent that in the future.
