Remote screen not working on non-rooted GS3

[robert....@gmail.com]

I'm trying to view the screen of my non-rooted GS3 remotely from the PC. The description of this product claims it can do that. From the DroidTop screen, I don't see that option; only RemoteControl (which requires root) and Screenshot -- so I just made a guess that Screenshot was what I wanted.

I followed the instructions for non-rooted devices and ran into two problems, one of which I could not work around.

The first problem is that the install_capture_service.bat file tries to copy the capture_service to the phone directory /data/local but this directory does not exist on my GS3 (ATT with Android 4.1.1). Furthermore, I could not create that directory using adb shell because it is part of a read-only filesystem.

So, instead, I worked around this problem by changing the BAT file to use the directory /mnt/sdcard/Download which is writable. However, the next thing the BAT file tries to do is chmod 777 the file. Unfortunately, this fails on my phone with the error:

Unable to chmod capture_service: Operation not permitted

It would seem it is not possible to remotely view the phone screen on the GS3 with this utility.

Or could you take the capture_service and turn it into an App that could be installed via the Play store instead? Or incorporate it into the AndroidDesktop app?

Even if you get that working it wont let you view the screen of your phone, it only lets you take a single screen shot.

However as you have found out, capture_service cannot be installed on Android 4.1.1, at least not using the instructions given.

Such functions like remote control, screenshot, usually exist compatible issue, it may not work on some devices. I just try to provide one more solution for it.

Thanks,
