android server has wrong colors

Post by dmcdivitt »

I am using UVNC to connect to a 3288 android stick. The wrong colors are displayed. For instance blue instead of red. Since the same thing happens with other VNC client software it must be the server. There are three or four android VNC servers available, but each appear to be derived from the same source code, and the colors are wrong for each. If I use WebKey, colors render OK, and it uses a web interface instead of a VNC client, but it proves colors can work right. Has anyone had any experience with this problem? Thanks

It sounds like you've worked out the issue on your own. The Android server is at fault.

You can try to work with those developers to see if they will do anything about it. I've not found a usable VNC server for Android since all of them require rooting the phone or connecting a phone via USB cable to start the service manually every time.

Droid VNC Server source is online. He says there he wants someone to take it over. Two others have functionality so similar I think they copied Droid VNC, and of course they have the same issues. So, I might get the source and fix myself. Should be as simple as rotating the RGB values. Unfortunately Droid VNC has an issue when loaded at boot up. The screen is trashed. Switching to another screen such as apps fixes it, then go back. It just needs to be refreshed. The clones don't have that problem, but it might be the order they are loaded at boot, too. Each has another problem. Clicking back or going back on screens usually does not refresh on the client. Clicking one time, anywhere, causes the client to refresh and show the changed screen. Going forward from clicks works OK. Video works OK, too, if the window isn't too big.

If you get something workable without requiring root access, I would be interested in what you come up with. Although, it appears Droid VNC does require root.

Thanks
