Broken with 4.4.2
I have just tested Sharekm with kitkat 4.4.2, but it seems completely broken.
By updating Adb.exe, I can get it to connect, but it doesnt do anything. I dont even get the invisible mouse problem, as mouse movement is never really streamed to my android device.
It is a shame, because there is really no alternative software as fast and reliable in transmitting mouse and keyboard movements through usb to my android device. All of the other alternatives rely on vnc/rdp which are very slow, and not really aimed at turning my android device on a second screen to my computer.

I kinda want to keep this thread going. Being able to control my phone with a mouse connected to my desktop is great. It only works for my Note 3 not my Note 2 unfortunately.. Any other app that does this exact thing? Not a app that mirrors but allows your mouse and keyboard to control both your phone and desktop at the same time. Or any suggestions on how to get my Note 2 working. Strange that my note 3 will work but not my note 2.
I completely agree with keeping this thread going. Not many days go by that I don't miss ShareKM. Check out my post above for a Synergy workaround (definitely doesn't replace ShareKM).
I'm perplexed that your Note 3 works though. I'm in the exact opposite scenario: my AT&T Note 2 works with ShareKM (on 4.2 and lower) but my AT&T Note 3 never worked (because it's on 4.3). Every thread I've read indicates that 4.3 breaks ShareKM, because for some reason 4.3 doesn't let ShareKM see root. Also, when I upgraded my Note 2 to 4.3, it broke ShareKM. The only way to get it going on the Note 2 (in my experience) is downgrading to 4.2 so that ShareKM can see root.
If you have any hints on getting ShareKM going on the Note 3, please let me know. I beg.
Im using Jellybomb by Josh Beach as my Rom for my sprint note 3... I will root my Note 2 again and put one of his roms on the Note 2 and see what happens. It may just be a issue with stock roms. Or something he is adding is giving that app the fuctionality needed to work.
I used to use Share KM regularly on my Xperia TL with Android 4.1.2.
I recently upgraded to Nexus 5 and like some of you guys, I really miss this app, especially as there's no eligible replacement whatsoever.
It's an idea that I've been playing with lately: how about taking advantage of Xposed framework capabilities and build a module that fixes this app on devices with Android 4.3 and up?
Unfortunately, I'm just a web developer with no experience in developing for Android, but I'm more than willing to help anyone who's planning to take on this idea!

Good call. If by chance the developer is adding something in that makes ShareKM work, then it would be nice to have that in an Xposed module as described below:
We might be on to something :highfive: Of course, this is based on the off-chance that the developer fixed ShareKM in Jellybomb on your Note 3. Hmm.
Got sharekm to work on S4 4.2.2 AOSP rom
I am glad to report that I finally got it to work on my 4.4.2 Kitkat Samsung Galaxy S4 after I switched AWAY from a TW based rom to a AOSP build. More specifically, sharekm was not functional on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2253528 but was fully functional on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
It is now clear to me that TW roms (samsung roms) have something in them that breaks sharekm compatibility.

agreed and also I would pay 5 bucks for that kind of performance i had with 4.1.2. and shareKM...

What you're saying now is totally weird, as I'm trying to run it on a STOCK(!) Nexus 5, and getting the invisible cursor bug, yet you're trying it on AOSP Rom and it works perfectly.
I can only assume that the rendering of the cursor was removed on the stock manufacturer's rom, but not from the original AOSP tree. In order to find it, we'll have to ask a developer with a lot of experience with AOSP code.
Plus, this is not the only problem. I already found out that this app is incompatible with Xposed framework (Which I can't stop using), and also doesn't work with any SuperSu above version 1.80. (Here's a link to v1.80 to flash via recovery - from now on you have to ignore updates from Play Store).
To sum up, there are 3 critical bugs in the latest version of this app:
1. Invisible mouse on Stock 4.3+ roms. (works fine on AOSP roms)
2. Incompatibility with Xposed framework.
3. Wifi/Bluetooth don't work with SuperSu versions above 1.80.
thx for the info... maybe ill try flashing 1.8 !

I do not fully agree with 02. I have xposed framework installed, with many, many modules up and running.. So I dont think it is always incompatible with sharekm. I do agree with 03, as I do not have bluetooth and wifi available with my AOSP rom.
Are you telling me that you never got this message ( https://www.dropbox.com/sc/xin6dsu2t8504md/JOZ9_guTui) upon connecting?
Are you running 4.4?
Maybe I should've been clearer on 2: incompatibility with Xposed on 4.3+ (It worked just fine on my Xperia TL running 4.1.2 with Xposed).

I am on 4.4.2 AOSP. I have never seen that error messagem before. Also, I am using Xposed 2.4.1 with GravityBox and XuiMod.
Hmmm... So it must be something related to Stock, as it works just fine on AOSP.
Do you have the invisible cursor bug?

38I managed to get rid of the date check, the app is working again.
For Android 4.4 (4.3?):
The bug, that root access is not detected, is also fixed. Wifi is working again. Bluetooth is also reenabled, but I did not try.11thanks for this solution, it works
and i also will use model from xposed named "per app hack" to make sure the time will be same for this app
, i didn't know if it would work but no harm in trying
i will do it now and see what happen tomorrow
This worked!!!!!!!
Link: [I cannot post outside links yet; but Google "xposed per app"]
1. Your phone has to be rooted
2. Install the xposed framework
3. Activate the framework and reboot
4. Install the "per-app" module for xposed
5. Activate the module and reboot
6. Open the per-app program, select ShareKM, and set the "Time Machine" to "2014-03-30 12:00"
7. Reboot
Thanks os_shaheen!8This is one of the best keyboard and mouse sharing apps Ive used. If you use your N7 near your PC a lot, this is for you.

Until a better workaround if found, you can do this to make it work:
- Make sure Android device is unplugged from PC and the ShareKM app is killed on the Android device. (if you don't do this, the app will continue to cycle the update beta message)
- Go into your android device settings and manually set the date to 03/30/2014.
- Do the normal steps to connect (for me, it's fire off the ADB commands, start the PC Share KM application, and connect the PC to the Android device via USB)
- Once connected via ShareKVM, you can go into your system settings and set the date to auto detect.
Note: You'll have to repeat these steps every time to disconnect/reconnect your device. I use this to connect my tablet to my laptop at work so I only have to connect once a day so it's not too big of a deal - just a little annoying. But it works...for now.6Okay, it is now working on android L with a cursor on my nexus devices as well as CM12.
I basically had to overhaul the dl.smali class so that it would use the android.view.SurfaceController class rather than the android.view.Surface class to create the drawable layer, then added a couple method calls from android.view.Surface to clone that into a Surface object we could manipulate.
Would have been a lot faster, but no java source = programming in smali. ;P
