I think the initial connection to the backend was done by searching for 
backend on the initial screen and the IP address was filled in 
automatically.

To get a keyboard I had to enable NetworkControlEnabled in the frontend 
settings for the new frontend. It automatically gets allocated a 
hostname of android-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

The I could use another android device with Mythmote to remotely control 
the first device. You can also connect directly to the control port (TCP 
6456) from a PC.

I've just tried this again on my phone and it worked.
