NXclient for Android

[Barry Mac]

Someone mentioned a while ago about an NXclient for android, and there
was a reply saying it wasn't possible due to lack of X11.

I was wondering how the java applet client works then? It works on
windows and on linux.

When I used it before it did seem like quite a heavy applet though.
Any idea if android could run this applet?

I think combining this with something like the Samsung I8250 projector
phone is very compelling. One might never have to carry a laptop and
projector again, yet have the capability to demonstrate some things
which require the compute power of a full blown workstation, or cloud
node. Like running a Java IDE for example.

The Java applet downloads the native nxclient and executes it.
So it doesn't work on Android too.

Hello people,

Perhaps bVNC, my open-source VNC app with AutoX functionality, would serve your purposes? AutoX provides the same functionality as NX but uses VNC rather than a compressed X protocol. The back-end consists of x11vnc and Xvfb or Xvnc.

It's available on Google Play and Blackberry World for free and as donation-ware. Search for "bVNC" and you'll find it easily, but here is a link:

Here is a link to the instructions for AutoX:

and a link to my post about a checf cookbook I wrote to configure a shared server automatically for AutoX (overkill for personal installations, but if you're a fan of chef, why not?)

I hope you like it!

I forgot to mention the application is also available on Blackberry 10. Here is a link to Blackberry world for it:
