Veency iPhone VNC Server Rocks!
A new app showed up on Cydia today called Veency.
It’s a fully functional VNC Server for the iPhone and it’s bad ass! The thing works just like you would expect it to =)
This is an initial release, and they’re planning on putting in some updates, but seriously… this thing is awesome!
(Note for installing: You MUST reboot your phone after it’s installed for the service to start. Then you can connect with a VNC client. This isn’t in the file info.)
Now I can have my phone charging in the other room, and when I receive a new txt, I don’t have to get up to check my phone (or go upstairs/downstairs). I just VNC in and blam! The keyboard works for everything too!
When you establish a new connection (there’s no password), a prompt will appear on the iPhone as to if you want to accept the connection. Also, there’s no on/off toggle. Both of these are things that are planned for a future release.
The only thing that I wish would happen is a remembering of IP’s that connected. Cuz, if the phone is in the other room, and I try to establish a new connection, I have to hit the “Accept” button… which means I gotta get up and go to the phone (defeats the purpose). So I just have to establish the connection before I sit down 
Overall though, very cool app. Good future, and totally worth the price tag of Free =)
Here’s a screenshot from my Mac connected into my phone:
The developer also put up a video of it in action. I upped it to youtube, so I could publish it here (he had it as a MOV file…wtf?)
If you have a jailbroken iPhone, I don’t see why you wouldn’t want this!

This is phenomenal. Why? Because this means an external iPhone keyboard is now possible. A small external microcontroller with a keyboard can send key clicks in the iPhone’s serial port. Then, whatever interface Veency uses to send keyclicks can send them to the phone! Presumably, one could add an external mouse as well. I wonder if the source code to Veency will be released….

Trying to connect my Iphone to my Vista machine using the VNC Lite. I don’t know the DNS or port numbers. I have tried using the IP address of my computer. Is this the one I use? I have also used the default port 5900. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sheila,
If you haven’t found out already, you need the IP address of your iPhone.
Go to Settings, WiFi, click on the network name, click on the white and blue arrow to the right of the network name and note the IP address.
Enter that into the Server Address in VNC Lite and connect with your iPhone.
Left click to touch the screen
Midlle click to lock the iPhone
Right click to select the Home/Menu button
Use your computer keyboard to type - great for SMS messages.

This is exactly the tool I need to bring my iPhone with the lower half of the screen not responding to touch back to life, the only problem is, I need to be able to click buttons on the lower half of the screen to install it…. Could someone zip up the required files from their iPhone and post them on filebeam or something, so I can use ibrickr to install it manually?

Awesome!
I was already using my Ipod Touch as a remote control for my media center.
Now I use my mediacenter as a remote for my iPod when it is docked with the Hifi on the other floor.
Crazy stuff!
Next plan: I want an Ipod Touch to remote control my Ipod Touch!

Great program but on my phone it stops working after a while (latest firmware). Its happened a few times now. Once, it stopped responding in the middle of me typing a message. TightVNC viewer diesm the vnc icon next to the battery on the phone is gone and i cant reconnect
Come one Jay, do your magic. Fix it. I’m willing to help or pay a couple of bucks

Love this page, is it updated often? Bookmarked

I appriciate the program greatly and it works like a dream but I would like to suggest some addition in the next update, if the developer can add the capabilities of cut and paste from the Computer to Veency on the iphone. I use messaging quite a lot and sometimes I see an article which I would like to copy and paste and send it as a text, this saves me of re typing the text all over….I hope it can be done!!!

Hey, I’ve got an iPod Touch 2nd Gen JALIBROKEN on 3.1.3, and I found Veency today. I installed it through Cydia, and downloaded UltraVNC for my Windows 7 Computer. I found the IP address, entered it in, accepted the request on my touch, but I can control my touch with my PC, but the touch screen on my PC won’t show up. It’s just black, even though I CAN STILL CONTROL my touch. WHAT SHALL I DO?
