Now here is the procedure :-

1. Install Veency via Cydia on your Jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch
2. Restart iPhone/iPod Touch and check Veency is enabled in Settings -> Veency
3. Setup a password (leave it blank and you will have to accept all connections from the iPhone)
4. Install UltraVNC on your PC. (Chicken VNC recommended for MAC)
5. Connect your PC and iPhone to the same wi-fi connection and note your iPhone/iPod Touch’s IP address
6. Run UltraVNCViewer on the PC, enter password
7. Now you should have the screen of your iPhone/iPod Touch on your PC
8. Control using the pointer.
9. Tip: The right-click can be used to simulate press of ‘Home’ button

Some of the neat things you can do with Veency are:

• Launch applications on your iPhone/iPod Touch
• Reply to emails, text messages, and more
• Rearrange icons
• Lock/Unlock your iPhone/iPod Touch
• Browse through Photos and Contacts

Some cool things you can do with Veency:

• Use your iPhone/iPod Touch as a remote video camera and snap pictures using the built-in camera or record in real-time using an app such as Cycorder.
• Easily type text on your Notes app using your computer’s keyboard.
• Run apps on your iPhone/iPod Touch while charging it across the room.
• Create demos of your iPhone/iPod Touch apps using your computer’s screen recording application.
