Working VNC server that supports mouse clicks

[grueni75]

Hello all,

I recently got a MK908II TV Player as a christmas present. I used the stuff from this great forum to get rid of all the bugs that the vendor did not solve (e.g., video sync fix, bluetooth MAC fix, ...). One thing I could not find a solution for was a working VNC server. All the ones from the Play Store did show the screen correctly, but mouse input was not possible. So I solved it by myself.

It seems that Rockchip and/or Tronsmart changed the input system in a way that it does not react to touch events through the uinput device correctly. All the VNC servers use the uinput device to emit key and touch events. I solved it by injecting the touch events directly through the Android API.

Please find my solution attached. It consist of the androidvncserver binary that needs to be started in a console. The binary requires an extended version of Android's built-in input command. It is called by androidvncserver and acts as an event injection server. Installation instructions are included.

One odd thing that remains unsolved: Every once in a while the WLAN driver of my MK908II looses connection. It seems that the traffic caused by the VNC server triggers a bug in the driver. It's not a big issue: The box automatically re-connects to the WLAN. Only the vnc connection needs to be re-established.I used Finless' ROM V1.5a for MK908II.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Bye

Yes!

Okay, thank you so much for this. It worked for me, i followed the directions, and after that i did like this:

1. Right clicked the androidvncserver in es file explorer. Checked all permission boxes.
2. Typed su and enter
3. Typed androidvncserver and enter
Then it was running and is working like a charm.

Question

Does this replace another VNC server or does it work with another VNC server?

Thank You...Brad

I uninstalled other vnc servers before i installed this one. But if you already have a fully working vnc server i wouldnt bother installing this one if i were you.

I do have a VNC server

I do have a VNC server and it works well except it has the input issue that this one fixes. I may also post a comment to the developer of the server that I am currently using about the issue.

I appreciate that grueni75 took the time to find the problem and post a fix.

Autostart server on boot

I have no idea, i'm a newbie with Android/linux.. But i'm sure the author og this thread van help. Please let me know if you find a solution..

This application is great! I do not know all the android, but I found a
simple solution to the Auto-boot.
1 - Download Boot Shell apk / free / and install.
2 - Add to the boot command:


su c androidvncserver -p [password]

(-p is not required if a password is not required)


3 - Save as boot command.
4 - Reboot
