1. Install VMLite VNC Server ($7.99) on your Android device (phone, tablet mini PC). If your device is rooted, you can try a free alternative such as Droid VNC Server, but if not, VMLite is your only real choice.

| Remontly control your Android Device from any computer |
2. Enable USB debugging on your phone. You can find the USB
debugging setting under Developer Options in the Android settings menu.
Note: If your phone doesn't have a Developer Options sub-menu
under Settings, you can make one appear by navigating to Settings -> About
Device and tapping on the Build Number five times. Many newer phones such as
the Galaxy S4 come with their developer menus hidden by default.
3. Attach your phone to your PC. Your computer will attempt
to install ADB (Android Developer Bridge) drivers for your phone. If it fails
to find them, you may need to download the appropriate drivers from the
manufacturer.
4. Install and launch the
VMLite Android App Controller on your PC. You can download it from
vmlite.com.
5. Click the Start VMLite VNC Viewer button in the App Controller program. If your phone
is rooted, you can simply launch the VMLite VNC Server on your phone and hit
the Start button in it.
The VMLite VNC Server app will launch on your phone with its
server started. If the server does not start, you may need to try again and
make sure you have the right ADB driver.
6. Establish a connection between your PC and Device in one
of two ways:
B. Unplug your Android device and connect it to the same
Wi-Fi network as your PC in order to establish a wireless connection.
7. Navigate to the VNC server's address in your browser. If
you are connected via USB, navigate to http://localhost:5801 or, if you are
connected via Wi-Fi, enter the IP address displayed under "Browser:"
on your Android device.
If you prefer a standalone application, you can install a
free VNC client such as VNC Viewer and use the address under "VNC
viewer" to connect.
8. Click Start HTML VNC Viewer or Start Java Applet VNC
Viewer on the web page which appears in your browser. The HTML VNC Viewer runs
in a tab while the Java applet VNC viewer opens in its own window and requires
the Java plugin to be installed. In our tests, both performed similarly.
Once you launch either viewer, you will be able to control
your Android device from a window on your desktop. You can navigate through the
entire operating system and use any apps you want with a click of your mouse
and enter text with your PC keyboard or swipe gestures.
Unfortunately, performance is extremely sluggish so don't
expect to do any gaming or video viewing.
VMCLite VNC Server Settings Tweaks
You can tweak a few settings to in the VMLite VNC Server
app, by entering the menu and selecting Settings.
If your device is rooted and you want to start VMLite VNC
Server every time it boots, check Start server at boot.
If the screen image is too large to fit in your PC browser
without forcing you to scroll, select Screen scaling and switch from 1.0 to
0.5.
