yes "ViewPort" is a special canvas-gui name (hard coded in the java), that can be used to scroll through the main pd window:
- in the main pd window, create a canvas gui (add canvas)
- edit the canvas properties and set the receive name to "ViewPort"
- make sure the canvas is in the background (select all the objects but the canvas, cut, copy)
- then send "pos" and "vis_size" messages to "ViewPort", so you have visual indication of the portion of the screen that will be displayed on PdDroidParty.

I've filed an issue for this and will try to fix it soon:

I think adb is available on windows too. If you do a search you can find
more information about installing and using it.

Cheers,
