No mouse/keyboard control? about androidscreencast HOT 99 OPEN

i've made some test to a non-rooted device, looks the error is :
10-16 13:36:30.556: ERROR/dalvikvm(2112): Can't open dex cache
'/data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex': No such file or
directory

Like kochansen, I tried the new 0.2 release - this time, no permission denied 
message
and can see the device!  Excellent- Thanks!  I can right mouse click to rotate 
the
device and view the device directory structure.  

However, I just cannot use the mouse nor the keyboard to control it.  I have to
control it on the actual device and I can see the effect in the remote control 
software.

Usual unrooted 2.73 UK htc hero, 1.5 android sdk, jdk 6.

Same issue here.

Java 1.6
HTC Magic, Firmware 1.5, Kernel 2.6.27 (No root)

You must have a rooted device for now because it require write permission in
/data/dalvik-cache/.
I'm looking for another way to inject mouse and keyboard events for non-rooted 
devices.

Issue 14 has been merged into this issue.

any news on this issue... or has it been "abandoned" to the non-root users :)

Java 1.6
HTC Magic, Firmware 1.6, ROOT
Mouse OK
Keyboard NOTHING

What permissions are required to operate the keyboard?
I have write permissions in /data/dalvik-cache/

GOOD JOB

same problem here, real shame for us non-rooters.

or
mouse. I can see it just fine. Right click works.

I got it working on a rooted Motorola Droid with many trials/tribulations.

Here were steps I took:

1.  Start an emulator and get ScreenCast app running against it
2.  adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex from 
the 
emulator to local file on my pc
3.  Take emulator down
4.  Connect my rooted droid
5.  adb push the file to /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
6.  adb shell
7.  su
8.  mv /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex /data/dalvik-
cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex

Not quite the consumer approach, but definitely works.

For some reason my right click is throwing an error at the moment, but it's 
probably 
due to code changes I experimented with.

This is going to save me so much time from having to stop working to pick up my 
phone  
to respond to texts, etc.

Thank you for your detailled feedback, it really helps. Looks like dalvik-cache 
is
not writable from shell without "su" on your droid... interesting

If you have usefull code changes, you can contact me for SVN write access.

i confirm tjcSmith's behavior. I can use my PC keyboard and the mouse to type 
onto my
droid device. 

I do get the right click error, but i noticed one behavior, if i clicked on the 
top
left corner (right below the edge), i was able to rotate the screen. I realized 
the
error had something to do with coordinates so maybe clicking in different areas 
might
not produce the error.

In a nutshell, I can use my keyboard and mouse from my PC to control the droid. 
I AM
REALLY REALLY HAPPY. 

Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot. Let me know if you wish me to do some testing with the droid. I 
would
be glad to do it. I am new with android so might be a bit slow, but i'll get 
there.

Is it possible to work around write permissions for non-rooted users in the 
same way
as PDANET has worked around it for tethering? Maybe with a more robust PC-side
program to be installed?

I also had to do the same procedure tjcSmith noted for my Rooted Sprint HTC 
Hero.
After that it seems to be working pretty well! 

TJ:

My apologies.  I completely understand what you are doing but I'm getting stuck 
on #2.

Can you please give me a more detailed (complete) command I can type into my 
command
window to "pull" this file?

Also, while you're at it....a complete "push" command would be wonderful too.

Thanks,
Matt

1.  Start an emulator and get ScreenCast app running against it
2.  adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex from 
the 
emulator to local file on my pc
3.  Take emulator down
4.  Connect my rooted droid
5.  adb push the file to /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
6.  adb shell
7.  su
8.  mv /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex /data/dalvik-
cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex

I was able to perform TJ's 8 steps....I now have mouse control...of course, 
there's a
3 second delay between click and action...but you get what you pay for ;-)

Typing control is much more responsive..I find it quick useable for txting

Here is an updated more literal set of steps as requested by sudermatt

1.  Start an emulator and get ScreenCast app running against it (DO NOT HAVE 
YOUR 
PHONE CONNECTED YET)
2.  adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex 
/TEMPclasses.dex
  This copies a file from the emulator to local file on my pc
3.  Take emulator down
4.  Connect my rooted droid
5.  adb push /TEMPclasses.dex 
/data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
  This copies from from local pc to a temporary location on the phone
6.  adb shell
7.  su
8.  mv /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex /data/dalvik-
cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
  This moves file from the temporary location on the phone, to the permanent location 
it needs to be for dalvik-cache to use it.

Confirmed that the instructions in Comment 26 work to the letter.  No 
right-click
crash or error for me.  Droid running 2.0.1, OS X 10.5.8.

I'm not running droid I am running 1.6 rooted I tried this last week and it 
worked
but I flashed a new rom and not I can't get it set up it says tempclasses.dex 
doesn't
exist and clues.

Issue 23 has been merged into this issue.

Sorry, not go for my rooted droid (stock 2.0.1 ROM)... Tried the 8 steps 
outlined
above, the .dex file IS showing in the proper folder on the device but there is 
still
NO keyboard OR MOUSE control for my Moto Droid... Looking forward to future 
versions.
I SOOOO miss MyMobiler on my old WM phone.

Try looking at adb logcat output (from desktop shell prompt, type adb logcat) 
when you 
initally start the .jnlp file.  It should give some indication of why your 
droid is 
having difficulty starting the injector application.   May be something like 
can't find  
InjectAgent.jar or may reveal a mis-type in the name of the file or something.

Also, check in Settings - Applications - Development that the "USB Debugging" 
checkbox 
is enabled.

For my rooted android on Galaxy.
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache
cd /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 777 ./*

And no, reload screencast and it's ok
Hope that help

You can do the chmod to make /data/dalvik-cache writeable, however that does 
open an 
opportunity for some other application to have more access than is desired - 
which is 
why the Android team made it not writable.   That's why I chose to just get 
this 
particular code in place, since I've been able to review the source and know 
what it is 
doing.

damn keep up the good work! I was hopin to find a way to work this but I'm a 
little
of a newb , i do not know what you are referring to when you talk about 
"emulator" 
or any of those 8 steps really... But damn proud of what you got working so 
far. Side
note may help, On the PDANET app theres a feature to send and receive text 
messages
on my desktop.

awwh man!! Got it working and then read that it droid has to be rooted for 
mouse and
keyboard use. Doh! Would love to get them working.
Keep up the good work.

Awesome app! Both mouse and keyboard work on the Nexus One with the CyanogenMod 
5.0.2!

Here is full-proof instructions if you can't get ScreenCast Mouse and Keyboard 
to
work. Thanks to tjcsm

1.  Start an emulator and run ScreenCast
2.  adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex 
/TEMPclasses.dex
3.  Quit emulator down
4.  Connect your rooted droid
5.  adb push /TEMPclasses.dex 
/data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
  This copies from from local pc to a temporary location on the phone
6.  adb shell
7.  su
8.  mv /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex /data/dalvik-
cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
9.  chmod 777 /data/dalvik-
cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex

First and foremost thanks for the great piece of software.  When the bugs get 
sorted
out this will easily be one of the best (if not the best) app for the android 
OS.

I'm unable to control my Droid eris using my laptop or desktop.  I am able to 
use
right click in order to change screen orientation, but that is it.  

Laptop is running Arch Linux 86_64 with the latest kernel and updates.  Desktop 
is
running Windows 7 x64 with all of the latest updates.  

My Droid Eris is rooted with 2.1 using a custom image (flashed via recover
partition).  Permissions on /data/dalvik-cache are as follows:
drwxrwx--x    1 1000     1000         2048 Apr 24 02:32 /data/dalvik-cache

Can we upgrade android htc hero 1.5v to 1.6v???

Great!!!

Works fine with WinXP and Gentoo/Linux 2.6.33 for my Rooted Milestone :D

Tried screencast On Android G1, was able to get the display, but the mouse and
keyevents were not working. Even tried the procedure for moving classes.dex as
explained above, but I am not able to move the dex file to the dalvik_cache 
folder.
It gives me a permission denied error. Even "su" returns me permission denied

I have a rooted Nexus One running Cyanogenmod and I can't get the mouse or 
keyboard
to work, either. Right click is the only thing that works. When I physically 
pick up
my phone and open something androidscreencast does show what I'm doing.

I have no Mouse/Keyboard control beyond screen rotation, however, i have my 
Dalvik-
Cache moved to the cache partition, so thats why /Data/Dalvik-cache isnt being 
used 
correctly

Mouse and keyboard does not work on mine rooted HTC Tattoo as well.

No keyboard or left mouse button (not even the buttons at the bottom left of the
window work) support on my rooted Milestone either. :(

I went with Comment 33 by osmoze.linux using the chmod command and works 
without a 
hitch including right click. 
Samsung Moment 2.1 DE03 rooted
Thank you!

Step 33 worked for me.

Motorola Milestone 2.1 rooted.

I can also confirm that tjcSmith's procedure (Comments 19 and 26) works on the 
HTC Evo. 

I am able to use my PC keyboard and the mouse to type and click onto the 
device. Recently coming from WinMo, where I had been using the excellent SOTI 
Pocket Controller Pro software for years, the ability to control my new Android 
phone from the PC is a godsend.  Thanks!

I can also confirm that tjcSmith's procedure (Comments 19 and 26) works on Moto 
Droid running FroYo FRF57.

Moving the .dex file to Dalvik-Cache caused my Milestone to reboot as soon as 
USB was connected. Then, after the reboot, the file was gone, and no more 
reboots after connecting USB... guess it didn't like it all too much... :|

Any ideas?

Make sure you have upgrded to the relevant revision of the SDK and then start 
an emulator for THAT version to grab the .dex from... I figured that out when 
the r7/2.1u1 .dex wouldn't work on my Droid running r8/2.2... updated to the r8 
SDK and redid the steps and alls well for me... I don't have a Milestone to 
test this on so your mileage may vary...

You may be onto something there - I was using an Android 2.2 emulator, and my 
Milestone is running 2.1. I'll give it another try tomorrow :)

Thanks for the tip!

Hmmm, for some reason I can't move the file to dalvik-cache.

mv ... failed on '/data/local/...' - Cross-Device link.

Could it be because of my having moved Dalvik-Cache to a different partition? 
Moving the file via Root Explorer doesn't work either (says it's moving the 
file and then doesn't do anything)...

Hi there all.
I'm new to this things and i have a problem.
I've a htc magic 1.6.
I'm running windows vista sp2.
I've no root access.
Like many others i can see the htc magic screen but with no mouse and keyboard 
access.
With adb logcat i was able to see an exception when running android screencast.

Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance.

what is "rooted"?

Comment 26 solved all problems with my rooted moto droid running Froyo. The 
only hold up was in step 2. Do not copy/paste from this page, it doesn't space 
things right. When manually typed out I did not have problems. 

Isn't working on my rooted Samsung Galaxy i7500 (galax0 1.6.3.3).

I can see the screen, but no control with keyboard or mouse.

I followed the instructions I saw in some comments but isn't work.

Any one with the same devide had success?

Works 100% with TJs fix, now the lil problem of the speed lol!

I have rooted Xt720. but don't work mouse and key. Finally I solved this 
problem.
I used RootExplorer for this issue. just change dalvik-cache directory 
Permission. Checked Other Read/Write Permission. Keyboard/mouse all work fine.

Thanks, RootExplorer change dalvik-cache directory permission solved problem 
with keyboard/mouse on my Samsung Galaxy 3. In Call menu keyboard/mouse not 
working :(

I don't have data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex anywhere in my android 
filsystem. How do I do then? Copy from somewhere else? 

I'm running Galaxy 5 GT-I5500B with android 2.1. 

My computer OS is Arch Linux. Thank you!

I just used root explorer and changed permission of directory dalvik-cache to 
777 and it works fine with mouse and keyboard.  Is this a security risk?

None of the other ways worked because it kept saying TEMPclasses.dex did not 
exist so I could not pull what is not there.

Rooted Moto Droid 2.2

thanks for help!

Hi! I'm from Argentina, I've found this project searching in XDA and I think 
it's really interesting.

I'm running it on Moto Milestone 2.1 rooted, and I can see my home, but I can't 
control it, only view it.

Is there a solution to this without giving full control to dalvik cache 
(security reasons)?

Thanks!

Having the same on a Rooted Nexus one with FRG83 2.2.1
OSX.

Java app updates the screen, right click works, in app buttons, home, menu, 
back, url do not work. mouse does not control device. 

More then happy to provide more info.

i'm on a rooted evo running the 10/6 nightly of CM6.  no love with button 
control.  tried pushing the dex file and it didn't matter one bit.  i can 
right-click and rotate, i can explore.  i cannot, however, manage to get the 
phone to do squat using keyboard/mouse controls.  

adb remounted prior to running java program, still no luck

Thank you TJ for the workaround, here is a super simplified version of the walk 
through... if you can't follow this i don't know if you should be doing this.

{NOTE: CMD LINES ASSUME YOU INSTALLED ANDROIDSDK DIRECTLY TO C:\ and changed 
its name... i.e. C:\AndroidSDK}

                             ~Phone should not be connected yet~

1.Download AndroidSDK to C:\ and change its name to AndroidSDK

2.Run it and update everything (this will take a bit of time)

3.Make an AVD (Android Virtual Device) of your phone. Virtual Devices>New…
      Give it a name (whatever is clever)
      Target (your android version)
      SD Card (size of SD)
      Create AVD

4.Start AVD, let it load completely to android home screen

5.Start Screencast

6.Open command line (start>search>cmd)

7.In cmd type… (every line signifies the push of enter)
      cd\
      cd AndroidSDK\tools
      adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex mine.dex

8.Turn off emulator, Android SDK, and screencast

9.Connect ROOTED droid (MUST BE IN USB DEBUG MODE)

10.in cmd type…
      adb push mine.dex /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex
      adb shell
      su (wait a second b/c your phone will ask you to allow/deny access to Super User, allow)
      mv /data/local/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex /data/dalvik-cache/data@local@[email protected]@classes.dex


That’s it. Nothing of importance will post on cmd to let you know it worked. 
Close out cmd and turn on screencast again. It should work fine no bugs or 
crashes at all, right click works too. Admittedly it is a bit slow on screen 
but input is instantaneous if looking at your phone. Also, your phone has to 
stay in Debug mode for it to work.

was able to make it work on my Droid 1 with no hassle----------Just got my 
Droid 2 and it only displays. cannot control from the mouse or keyboard. Did 
the steps in post 71 and still nothing.  any ideas guys? Im rooted.  One thing 
I did notice what that if I click on explore at the top of screencast that the 
data folder says "denied" if im root shouldnt this be wide open? hwo can I fix 
that issue?

Ok New symptom.....if im on the home screen nothing is working.....not keyboard 
or mouse. BUT if i go into a message both work. I can email and also use the 
buttons on the app.  anyone know why it works in the apps but noot outside any 
apps?

I've just upgraded to 2.2 on my Milestone. None of the above methods are 
working. The Chmod 777 worked for 10 seconds then stopped.

Its as if the system changes the security on the folder just when it needs it.

I just tried pulling/pushing the .dex file and still no dice.

Moto Droid, 2.2 rooted. I can see it fine, but no input.

Hi guys!! i have trouble with my hero.. :(

I can see the screen on my Mac but... i can not control it..
I have superuser control.. 

Where Am I wrong?

HTC Vision (T-Mobile G-2) rooted, OS 2.2, tried before and after the pull/push 
and chmod instructs above.  Can view, but no mouse or keyboard.  I do get this 
in a popup while Screencast is loading:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at net.srcz.android.screencast.api.injector.Injector.connectToAgent(Injector.java:195)
    at net.srcz.android.screencast.api.injector.Injector.init(Injector.java:175)

    at net.srcz.android.screencast.api.injector.Injector$1.run(Injector.java:26)

had the same problem (no left mouse or keyboard) on rooted Epic.

I just changed the permissions on dalvik-cache directory as following:

adb shell
su
cd data
chmod 777 dalvik-cache

Restarted the desktop app and have full control now.

Is changing the permissions on that directory too risky? Is there a particular 
file I can change permissions on instead of the entire directory? Thanks.

Rooted DX i have some control mouse works in texts e-mails but it doesnt work 
on any of the home screens the key board works but the directional keys only go 
up down and to the right no left and i have the Droid explorer program on my 
computer. Is there a really easy way to fix it so i have total and full 
control? im not very computer savy sorry :(

Just an update I can get this to work every time on my droid x (had a period 
last month where I needed a replacement and went thru a few handsets before 
asurion decided just to give me a new phone)

{NOTE: CMD LINES ASSUME YOU INSTALLED ANDROIDSDK DIRECTLY TO C:\ and changed

*******NOTE: the only bug I have found is that sometimes I need to scan with 
adb devices to get screencast to work. to do this open cmd and:

          cd\
          cd AndroidSDK\platform-tools
          adb devices

Also, I just did it to my droid while updating this post and noticed that 
Screencast has been updated to scan for devices as well, BUT, I had no control 
with keyboard or mouse. However, after doing the above steps I did.

good luck

Comment 38 worked for me on HTC Hero with android2.3

Thanks Guys!

Comment number 42:
I faced the same problem and fixed it
It has happened because you have not agreed to super user access.

When you enter su check you phone display

I did the above steps several times on a rooted Android-3 ASUS Transformer 
TF101. All the commands work and the files are in the right place but cannot 
get mouse access. Right click rotates screen and the keyboard seems to work 
fine.  Just mouse issues.

with the log "adb logcat" I did see these messages if they make sense to anyone.

question will it ever be able to work on the camera and video everything works 
just fine like if i pulled up camera all the buttons work but you cant actually 
see what the camera sees?

I can verify that comment 33 (thanks) works on Motorola Droid.  I was able to 
get android screencast to display but had difficulty getting the mouse and 
keyboard to work. I found the easiest way to resolve the problem was:

  1)Download "Better Terminal Emulator Pro" from the market (there is a fee of $3.99 but worked well...other free terminal emulators and a basic version of $0.99 are available but not tested)

  2)Open the application and proceed to the Shell section. Look for the words "Start as root" and make sure it is checked (this will start the terminal as root (device must be rooted)

  3)Type in the following commands...

chmod 777 /data/dalvik-cache
cd /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 777 ./*

Start android screencast. Mouse and keyboard will work.  There is some delay of 
the typed words and mouse clicks, but only on the pc (screencast). No delay on 
the actual android device. Hope this helps others who are having difficulty. 
Best of luck and leave a reply if helpful. 

same here...rooted G1. not able to mouse, keyboard. only right clicks works.

I'm confused as to how to open the emulator on the computer.  I'm assuming that 
what you're doing anyway considering screencast wouldn't make sense for someone 
who's screen worked on their phone.  My captivate's screen is shattered but it 
still works.  Trying to reset my phone to sell it.  I can see the phone on 
screencast but can't control it.  I downloaded better terminal emulator (Free 
version) onto the phone.  But how do I open it if my phone doens't work?  Or 
how do I open it on my computer to control my phone?  Sorry for these noob 
questions.

till now i didn't found an answer for those who did everything above and the 
mouse and the keyboard still now working, its seems that screencast and the 
honeycomb will not work with any android version above 2.2,
if am a good java developer ill modify the screencast in away to make it work 
with the new android version, but sadly am not
anyway is there any other way or other app to do the same job as the screencast

Hi
I've a different problem... In my case my keyboard is working fine but NO mouse 
control. I can use right click which rotate the screen view but cant open any 
app or select anything with mouse!!!

Any help will be highly appreciate 

my Phone: HTC incredible S
PC: XP service pack 3
Droid version: 0.8.8.8 (x86)

I can't get the mouse to work on a rooted Galaxy S3 (android 4.0.4).

I'm getting this in the log:
