Cool, I think the day people discover how droidmote unite the advantage of a small screen control and big screen visuals on games you will be rich.

Awesome work, thank you Zulu,

I'm currently using your app to control a Linux box (ubuntu),
How can I change the keymap under linux ? (I got an 'a' when I press 'q', etc.)

It's not working with my debian box ?? what lib(s) are used by the linux server ?

Zog².

I just hate forums, going through 550 (mostly useless) post to find some infos....

DroidMote in Linux use the standard english keyboard, you can set this keyboard when use droidmote and all keys should work.
In linux you have a wide choice of tools to change keylayout, but same usefull tool are:
XKeyCaps - to change keyboard keys
jscal - for change buttons and axis of the gamepad
Joytokey - to assign key for gamepad actions
etc. etc. etc. goolge is your friend

DroidMote for Linux, for now was compiled and tested on the latest release of Ubuntu, Fedora, and the arm version of Ubuntu (more precisely for Lubuntu).
DroidMote for now it is oriented toward the more popular Linux systems for domestic use.

zogzerg · Jul 9, 2012

@Zulu99 yes I know but I wish I'll be able to use all my keyboards at the same time without setting a new keymap each time (btw I personally use setxkbmap), any chance to have this function implemented ?

what about the dependency libraries ?

@CelticSoul

[ngochai@probook work]$ ./droidmote 2302 pass

droidmote should be run as root !!!!!!!

I'll see what we can do, for now you can use different account on the same machine.

no specific library, you must have only uinput in the kernel. all droidmote code is my personal work.

That happens even I am root:

Code:

[root@probook work]# ./droidmote 2356 password

Waiting for incoming connections on ip:
Segmentation fault

I repeat, this is not strange for me:

DroidMote for now it is oriented toward the more popular Linux systems for domestic use. after august i port it for other linux distributions.

If you want test all the futures of droidmote try the android or the windows version, on linux, the multi touch features, are enabled, but for now not work, because the windows managers of linux not support well the multi touch. you can test the multitouch on linux with the tool mtview.

droidmoteserver on a cherry M-728 (tablet)

I bought a M-728 to use as a media-player (with touchscreen) and remote control it with my android phone.
i installed busybox and droidmote server on my tablet,
i installed droidmote client on my phone.
they get connected oke.
the only button thats working is the on/off button.
Am i missing something, i read something about uinput, but i don't know know if this is the problem.

thanks in advanced,
Frank

leodfs · Jul 9, 2012

It IS the problem buddy. That is kind of common with some of those Chinese devices. That happened to me also. Fortunately someone helped with the uinput module.

this is an allwinner a10 device. if your kernel version is 3.0.8+ try to download and load the uinput.ko of the mk802 that you can find in previous posts.

This is a great tool. I'm using the linux server on a ubuntu install, running on a htpc to run XBMC. Droidmote is 'the missing piece', and I'm very thankful for your efforts to create this!

So far, I've encountered one issue I havn't been able to resolve yet:

The keyboard mappings all seem correct 'out of the box', save for one key.
On the 'd-pad' screen, the 'enter/return'(?) key in the center of the up,down,left,right directional arrow keys. That center key does not seem to have any affect.

On the server, it's consistently showing that 1 keypress as atleast 3 different keys? Is this expected and correct behavior?

sudo showkey

Code:

keycode   1 release
keycode 104 release
keycode 232 release

^one press of the center key results in keys 1, 104, and 232 - although it does not include 232 every time. seems random. very odd....

system keymap is default. all other droidmote keys work as expected.

My phone is not currently rooted - is that a requirement for making changes to droidmote.kl on the client side? Is that where I need to alter this behavior?

Any info to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated... thanks!

You can simply map the 232 scancode to the enter key with many tools on linux.
For example you can use XKeyCaps or setxkbmap toolls or find another.

But do not worry, in little time, i think 2 days, i put online another version of droidmote server for linux because i have a big surprise for all.
I managed to bring all the multitouch functions well also in linux.
With the new versions we can use multitouch actions, and play with apps and games that want touch screen.

a request for all, give me two days of total concentration to write these new functions.

oke, its seems to be the same kernel.
Can someone tell me what the next step is, how do i activate this uinput.ko.
Do i need to put it somewhere on my tablet.

thanks in advance,
Frank

leodfs · Jul 10, 2012

You need root.

first put it somewhere on your sdcard(ex: /sdcard/modules), then with a terminal emulator do:
su
cd /sdcard/modules
insmod uinput.ko

If it shows no output, it was ok. If it gives your any error, the module is not for you device.

Not unless he can figure out how to use DroidServer without root...

Thanks, i did, to bad i got error "(Exec format error)", does this mean the module is not for my tablet?

Not only this, lots of people would require that droidmote would work only putting the two devices next to each other .

Yes, unfortunately modules are very specific. Even with same kernel version you could have incompatibility for wrong settings used when compiling the kernel.
