KindleVNC: A kindlet to view and control your remote PC desktop
I have written a kindlet entitled KindleVNC running as a VNC client on kindle. It supports common vnc protocol. It also supports mouse and keyboard control over the remote desktop.
You can download it from http://wifi001.com With KindleVNC, you can make your kindle as an e-ink monitor of your PC. You can do whatever you do on your PC through kindle now. Enjoy it. Last edited by tsinghoo; 10-02-2011 at 05:54 AM. |

Wow, thanks for the app. Hope I can use without any error.
EDIT: Could you provide uninstalls also ? I just try it with VNC Free Edition Viewer for Windows and worked perfect. Thanks again Last edited by thomass; 10-02-2011 at 09:48 AM. |

Thank you!
Thanks so much, tsinghoo! Donation sent via PayPal. Works beautifully with the stock OS X VNC server (AKA "Screen Sharing"; defaults to port 5900). Though I can't imagine uninstalling it, I second the uninstaller request. A list of files installed/modified would be swell, too.

Hey this is really cool. Thanks!
Holding shift is annoying, though. Is it possible to make a toggle script through lauchpad? Or just make it toggable as standard? Also, the mouse is still quite slow on accelerated, still. Last edited by Kenneth_irl; 10-02-2011 at 07:19 PM. |

This looks great, but I don't want to make a one-time account just so I can download it. Can somebody attach it to a post here?
EDIT: Nevermind, I did it myself. Last edited by Mario1up; 10-03-2011 at 10:34 AM. |

I really like this application. Unfortunately, it doesn't work over 3G, which makes sense because you said you only have a Kindle with WiFi. The program crashes upon exit when using 3G, causing an automatic restart.

@tsinghoo Thanks. Your VNC client is a great Kindlet implementation. It would be so nice if you could share the java sources.
I particularly liked 1) the virtual keyboard 2) using CTRL to toggle moving cursor or mouse pointer 3) supporting passwords at login. @fau, @thomass After unpacking the install bin, I manualy installed the Kindlet, since I wanted to see which files were modified in the file system. In a SSH session, 1) I Merged tsinghoo.keystore to my /var/local/java/keystore/developer.keystore For convenience, I have attached my own keystore developer.keystore.2011-10-02.zip which contains dev keys for all developers of this forum to date (except for vanhoa, the chinese chess developer, which I don't know the keystore password). 2) I updated /opt/amazon/ebook/security/external.policy granting to "*:80-" the following additional SocketPermissions. Spoiler:
3) And I copied the KindleVNC.azw2 Kindlet to my documents directory. Thus backing up your developer.keystore and your java external.policy prior to installing the bin is all you need to manualy uninstall the application later. Keeping the updated keystore and policy will not hurt and you can simply just delete the KindleVNC.azw2 to uninstall. |

Thanks to http://conshell.net/wiki/index.php/K...ert_extraction which showed me how to fight keytool and openssl : the trick consisting in extracting the 3 .der certificates from a vanhoa.keystore (having an unknown password) and reimporting them into a new.keystore which I set the password to password which I could finaly merge to the developer.keystore. |

I found that the ideal resolution for this app is 800x560. The top bar takes up 40 pixels. If you can set custom resolutions on your computer, I suggest doing it for this.
EDIT: Also, a couple feature requests. Could you make Alt be alt on the server and make the page forward/back buttons scroll? Last edited by Mario1up; 10-03-2011 at 09:16 PM. |
