Record and Remote Your iPhone Screen

Last time we talked about how to use iPhone emulator to create a demo video. And if you have an iPhone and want to share the screen on your PC, especially for screen recording purpose to show people a how-to video tutorial about iPhone apps, here is a smooth solution to remote control your iPhone under Windows. What you need

Veency: VNC Server for iPhone

DemoCreator: Screen recorder for Windows

And make sure your iPhone has been jailbroken.

And How to

1. Download and install Veency on your iPhone.

2. Download and install VNC client (take TightVNC as example) on your PC.

3. Run VNC Viewer and it will ask you for typing your iPhone IP address in. You can find it in Settings -> Wifi. Click the icon on your selected Wifi Network to display the IP address. Leave other settings as default and click Connect.

4. Back to your iPhone and you will notice a remote control request from VNC client. Click Accept and there will be a VNC connection icon at the top-right corner on your iPhone screen.

5. Now you can see your iPhone screen on your computer. There will be a small virtual mouse and you can control your iPhone with your mouse remotely. Here are the controls:

Left click: touch screen, and holding the button while moving is like swiping.

Middle click: lock button

Right click: menu button

Keyboard: keyboard so you can make faster text typing with your keyboard compared with touch-typing.

6. Open DemoCreator, and choose Application and pick up VNC client in the pull-down menu. Click Next and you will see a 3-2-1 countdown to start recording your iPhone screen.

7. Press F10 when you finish the screen recording. You can preview your video, edit it with built-in video editor or publish it as video output and share it on YouTube or your blog.

Some more tips

Since the remote screen sharing depends on Wifi and does not require any cable, the frame rate of the video is about 15 FPS, so it is little bit hard to record games. If you want to record screencast about how to use apps or other onscreen activities which require lesser FPS, Veency plus DemoCreator will be a decent choice.

Presently, you cannot set any VNC password on Veency. And to disable Veency, you can only disable Wifi or just uninstall the program.

Re: iPhone Apps: Biz Idea! - San Diego, California – Got an idea for a killer iPhone app? With more than 1 billion applications sold since its launch last July, Apple’s iPhone App Store has become one of the fastest-growing tech enterprises in recent history, and gained a reputation as something of a developer’s goldmine. Success stories such as that of Ethan Nicholas, whose iShoot app has earned him $900,000 in eight months, have only added to the App Store’s appeal for would-be iPhone entrepreneurs. “The runaway success of the App Store has created the legend of the iPhone millionaire,” says Ian Maskell, principal of iPhone App Freelancer, a company aiming to make it possible to get your idea into the App Store without technical knowledge and minimal financial outlay. “Everywhere we went people would say: ‘I’ve got a great idea for an app.’ We saw an opportunity to level the playing field and allow anyone the ability to become the next success story, regardless of their ability to program or write code.” So Maskell launched iPhone App Freelancer, a website offering the ability to turn great ideas into apps with little or no programming knowledge. Rob Shoesmith, a 27-year-old garbage collector from Coventry – England, submitted one of the first ideas to iPhone App Freelancer for development. Shoesmith says he has only had an iPhone for a few months, but has been following the growth of the App Store since its launch. He wants to keep the specifics of his app under wraps until its launch, but describes it as a user-generated advice service.

You don't need the new iPhone - [i:3jvapemj]I stole this article from a minimalist site. He has given everyone to steal his posts and use it anywhere at anytime and without giving credit to him.His name is Leo Babauta. So enjoy.[/i:3jvapemj] ................................................................................................................... Many of you have seen the video and reviews of the new iPhone 4S, and yes, it looks great. Don’t rush out to order it. Here’s why: you don’t need it. True, it is sleek and sexy and full of great features like a great camera and personal assistant and a better screen, etc. But you don’t need it today any more than you needed it yesterday, or 5 years ago. Yesterday, without the new iPhone, your life was good. Some of you were happy and content and were actually able to do your work and get on with your life without the new iPhone. Today, Apple announces its newest device, and the press and tech bloggers swoon. We all have to get the latest device, or we’ll no longer be hip, we’ll no longer be part of the “in” crowd. And yet, is it really that essential? I’ve wanted an iPhone for almost 5 years now, but haven’t bought one because I know I don’t need it. Will it make my life a bit more fun? Sure, possibly — but so will a walk in the park with my kids, or a hike with a friend, or a free book at the library. I don’t need to spend $199 plus thousands of dollars on a 2-year contract to make my life a bit more fun. Five years ago, the iPhone didn’t exist. It wasn’t a need in your life. You were able to live perfectly without it. And now that it does exist, all of that is true. It’s Apple’s marketing that has worked on us, and we’re fools for it. The same, of course, is true of all other technology and sleek consumerist products. It’s just that Apple is better at it than most. Don’t give in. Fight the marketing, by noticing and letting go of the urges that marketing creates in us. Find contentment without products. You’re better than that.
