If you would rather try to get Opaque working well, please hold off rating it, and post your question in the forum, or get a refund. The forum:https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bvnc-ardp-aspice-opaque-android-bb10-clients
Opaque is a GPLv3 licensed secure, super fast oVirt, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), and Proxmox VDI client that allows you to connect graphically to all your virtual machines running in the cloud from anywhere in the world. It currently implements support for the SPICE protocol.
NOTES(1) Some older devices are known to have issues with self-signed SSL certificates. If you find you are affected, return Opaque or ask for a refund. Please do not rate the application badly because of a platform issue!
(2) On most current devices, playing sound and video exceeds the CPU processing power and causes jittery sound and video playback.
(3) If virtual machines are behind a RHEV/oVirt proxy, you may need to connect to them with Opaque by using a .vv file. To get a .vv file, you have to login through the oVirt/RHEV web interface and connect to your VM's console there. Chrome works perfectly with the web interface, and opens Opaque directly. With Firefox, you have to open a File Manager, and tap the file in the Downloads folder as soon as the download completes. The built-in Android Browser does not work for .vv downloading.
* System administrators: If you are planning to recommend this app, please ensure you have determined the simplest method of access for your environment.
* Users: If you're unsure, please ask your System Administrator!
(4) The oVirt web "User Portal" for oVirt v3.4 and older does not allow obtaining .vv files for virtual machines.
(5) Direct connections to Proxmox VMs are now fully supported. Select Proxmox from the Virtualization Environment drop-down when adding a connection (tap the "+" at the main screen).
Current features include:
- Full Proxmox and oVirt/RHEV integration.
- Android 4.x and earlier: USB redirection with OTG enabled devices. Connect your OTG cable prior to connecting to your VM. For some Android 4.x and Android 5.0 and later, your device must be rooted and you have to use "SELinux Mode Changer" (from Google Play) to set selinux to permissive mode.
- Audio playback/recording
- Supports both Proxmox and oVirt/RHEV virt-viewer/remote-viewer (.vv) files
- Ability to edit default settings for .vv file connections or to make creation of new connections more convenient (on the main app page, tap the wrench at the top-right corner or look in the menu on older devices).
- SSL encryption for peace of mind
- Commercially signed and self-signed certificates
- SPICE protocol support
- Automatic rotation
- Desktop resizing to match display resolution
- Pinch-zoom
- Multi-touch UI with four mouse input modes to choose from
- Mouse scrolling by swiping with two fingers up/down
- Single-handed mode for easy on-the-go operation
- Support for most bluetooth input devices.
Planned features:
- Allocating VMs from a pool
- Clipboard integration
- VNC protocol support

It does not work properly with the .vv files downloaded from proxmox web ui, as when it opens the .vv file the connectionto vm is done but in my tablet then all it is shown is a white background with only the mouse pointer around there.
Required to use SPICE with the official Proxmox mobile app, but doesn't work, just shows an error message. Nice. Refunded the purchase.
Its slow, 32bit color, no way to switch, even when lowered resolution still was slow. Tried win10, debian, ubuntu on latest proxmox, all were slow. Why sell this when its not usable?
Awesome app, great support from the dev who is very knowledgeable. Keep up the excellent work!
Great, will have to email you for further details and enhancements.
Stability issues now seem to be fixed with the latest version.
The integration with Proxmox is absolutely fantastic. I could even play youtube videos with sound in the guest vm! well done dev!
Guys, how to connect to proxmox machine?:) p.s. Aha, seems like i need to specify port alongside with server ip.
Bought app. Although I was able to connect to admin portal via android browser, this client wrote auth error. There is no button to send error report. I thought, may be its because of not imported self-signed CA. Imported it. Didn't helped. Description does not show screenshots from internal ui.
Pretty good -- importantly it works to open oVirt vv connections. Running on Chromebook. Would be improved with: copy and paste sync, Alt-Tab capture when full screen, and scrolling down has a strange effect of scrolling the whole view window on the screen rather than scrolling the window within the Spice view. Possible some of these bugs are specific to the Chromebook experience. Keep up the good work.
