why you would want to run GUI apps on your phone remotely is beyond me
while at my computer at work. Without ever having to pull my phone out of its holster. VNC is already on the Windows PCs at work and at home.Samba support by default is a bad idea, because it is not core functionality. This is what the repositories are for.

FM Transmitter works when charging, just not when connected to USB devices. My transmitter works with the included AC adapter and with my 12v adapter.
I believe someone mentioned here on the forums that this was an FCC requirement, due to the cable potentially acting like an antenna?

$9.99 at Ralph's Grocery.
I Have Two of them and they both work, sometimes I have to plug and unplug USB to get charging started, but once charging I can use FM transmitter. I could not get thru a whole days use with out them.

Some stuff I start remotely from my desktop takes 10 minutes to come up, over compressed SSH, while with VNC there's no appreciable delay.
VNC server will not happen because it's a bad solution to a problem that is already solved. What you should be doing is using X11 forwarding[..]
So, VNC will happen.

However, access to network shares in the file browsers and applications is per default missing, and this surprised me. That is why the lack of Samba in the repositories is a bit disappointing.
So, client support yes please, server support isn't as important.
