Bought this some time back for my Ouya. Was having problems with the Ouya controller so I decided to get this set up. I installed BusyBox but now I'm getting some message saying "can't download integrity checker"..is this some sort of anti-piracy measure? Because I blooming well paid for the app!

I turned Adblock Plus off in case there was some host file blocking nonsense but I am still getting the error message (maybe I should try rebooting with Adblock turned off?).

Uninstall and install the last server from google play.
Usually this can happen if you have an old version.

If don't solve contact me via email that you see in the app.

dont suppose there is anywhere else other than playstore where i can buy the server app ,i had thought less than 2 quid for a smartphone app would be better than 25+ for a tronsmart game controller but google seems to want me to take some kind of wallet which i have no interest in and even though i'm using pay pal google want my home address or billing addy as they call it, why there is no physical delivery here just an app looks like its the game controller when funds allow

The Android Preview L is very aggressive towards applications that require root permissions. DroidMote has become more kinder in the newer versions and entered after knocking. :)

SELinux and other security policies of Android now control even when you go to the bathroom :) 80% of the the apps that require root permissions at this time do not work, even if you have root permissions.

From the last versions DroidMote is compatible also with Android Preview L

From what you write is possible that you have an old version of the server on windows and the last client on android. Make sure you have the latest versions of the client and the server.

deleted. I read the FAQ. Keep up the good work. thx

btw, this is incorrect and you may want to update your FAQ for others.

Per FAQ to install apps but cant click the 'install' button.

"Use the directional arrows of DroidMote Client in the second tab to move on the install button and click on it with the central button. This is not a bug of DroidMote, but is a security policy of Android. Infact for all apps that have the permission to draw on top of other windows, Android disable the use of this button with the mouse. This special permissions that DroidMote Server require, is necessary to have the TouchMouse."

The only way I found that worked was to use the directional arrows on tab 2 but I had to use the 'X" button on the game controller tab to actually select 'install'. The center button as you suggested above did NOT work for me. A better FAQ means happier people. :) thanks again.

You can't ckick with the center button but you must use the X buttons only on BAD rockchip firmwares. But is solvable.

Help Please

About 6 months ago I had DM workinging on my Ubuntu laptop. Then I had a crash and reinstalled Ubuntu. I did not worry about reinstalling until know, as I am actually tryin to set up a remote controlled Ubuntu desktop to use just for streaming Netflix to my TV. It is actually Zorin 9, which is a Ubuntu based distro, using Ubuntu 14.04. I have downloaded the latest versions of both the server for the pc, and the client for the phone. I followed directions exactly to set up DM, but I can not get it to connect over wifi. I click the connect button, and immediately get a "can not connect to server", error. That's all I get. I have DM listening on port 2302, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled on both devices, at least twice, followed directions exactly to a "T", with no luck. Any idea what I might have done?

i think Zorin 9 have the firewall active by default. If so go in firewall settings and add tcp 2302 and udp 2303 for droidmote service.
If you want use differnt tcp port the udp will be tcp port number +1

I tested today DroidMote on Ubuntu 14.04 and work without problems.

Where in Android, in Windows or Linux ?
I have all working well in my last tests.

Read this page http://www.videomap.it/dmcguide.htm
In Android check the configurations files and in all OS the buttons keys or axis are also customizable like a real keyboard or gamepad.

For Android trust only the version in Google Play. There are thousand of illegal websites full of fake versions.

It's in android, and I don't have the files in system. What can I do. Shouldn't they by default do what the icon shows (press home on remote should go home on receiver)

Anything that can be done about it??

As i write in previous post you need the configurations file that are installed automatically at first start of the server.

be sure to have root permissions and reinstall the app from google play.

Read the first lines of this page.
http://www.videomap.it/dmcguide.htm

the folder in the last versions is not /system but /data/system

and this page to know all about the server requirements: http://www.videomap.it/dmsguide.htm

if you are a licensed user of the server you can also contact me via email that you see in google play i will help you step by step.

OK I've found the file, and decided to test the server on my phone (nexus 4) and the home key and back worked, however when I use my nexus 10 tablet as the serve it won't go home or back or menu key. What should I do in the file to make it work?

I have a nexus 7 2013 and with android 4.4.x and also with Android preview L this buttons works.

Do you have in your nexus 10 the configurations files in /data/system ? If the files are present the buttons must work.

DroidMote simulate also a real hardware keyboard and this is the Android standard for keylayout:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/input/key-layout-files.html

The defaul keylayout name is droidmote.kl and you can customize it as you want. Infact in droidmote server settings you have also "Load keylayout" to load a your customized version based on the default one.

Is possible that you have an old version of the Server ?

Can i have your order id to check your license ?

My suggestion is:
uninstall the server
reinstall from google play
start the server for the first time and grant root permissions
check if the configuration files are written correctly

Do not waste time with a stripped down version of Android . Life is too fast to just use the arrow keys. Be smart , overcome the limitations imposed by manufacturers, you can have a full version of Android on your TV and you can control all your Multi Touch Apps and Games with DroidMote .

Missing Licence in DroidMote 3.3.9

I installed the app on my android 4.4.2, rooted. If I start the app I cannot switch on the server. "Missing License" shows up. How can I use the app? I am using a Minix Neo 8H.

Is the reverse also possible?

Has anyone built an app that remotely controls an android device's 'desktop' from a windows PC?

I really mean - the Android device's Desktop - remote controlling an android device as if you were using logmein or teamviewer on microsoft windows. - I'm not interested in being able to control the camera of see the contacts or update apps like the main apps do.

    Hi Androiders.
    With your android phone, with one application called Mod Edit link removed you can control another android Phone or Tablet, a Windows pc or a Linux pc, on wich you have installed Mod Edit link removed

    DroidMote is not only a remote mouse, a remote keyboard, a remote gamepad and a remote multi touch touchpad, but it is something more.
    In fact, with the Gamepad2Touch feature allows you to use all the applications and games that were developed to support only devices with touch screen. Imagine you want remote control a game, designed for touch screen devices on your large TV Full HD, with DroidMote you can.
    Just create, in a few simple steps, a "touch profile" with the application "Touch profile Creator" that you can download in the attachment.
    Mod Edit link removed
    DroidMote is fully customizable, in the Server part you can create your own file droidmote.kl to change the default action of the keyboard keys, of the buttons and axis of the gamepad. In the Client part you can create your own "touch profile" to simulate touch events on the remote screen.

    The client and the server to connect must be or on the same local network, or connected to the internet to control remote devices over long distances.
    If you not have a wifi router, you can connect the server and the client directly (point to point) by activating the function Tethering/portable hotspot on your phone or on your tablet. Connect the phone to the tablet or the tablet to the phone. Click start on server, get the ip and put it in the client.
    You do not need bluetooth,the bluetooth is slow and cover small distances.

    DroidMote Server must be installed on the device to be controlled.
    DroidMote Client must be installed on the device controller.

    ONLY THE DEVICE WITH THE SERVER INSTALLED NEEDS TO BE ROOT.
    IN THE SERVER DEVICE , MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BUSYBOX UPDATED AND YOU HAVE THE UINPUT MODULE IN THE KERNEL LIKE MOST ANDROID DEVICES.
    Mod Edit link removed

    Features:

    [✔] Remote Mouse
    [✔] Remote Multitouch Touchpad
    [✔] Two Fingers Scroll Zoom Rotate
    [✔] Remote Keyboard
    [✔] Remote Mediaplayer
    [✔] Remote Dpad
    [✔] Remote Multitouch Gamepad
    [✔] Remote Control with accelerometer
    [✔] Two virtual analog stick on screen
    [✔] Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!
    [✔] TouchMouse for games that not support a real mouse
    [✔] Voice dictation with android keyboard
    [✔] Gesture typing with android 4.2 keyboard

    For the Server part:
    Android versions > 2.2:
    support: mouse,keyboard,dpad,mediaplyer,gamepad to keyboard.
    Android versions > 3.2:
    support: mouse,keyboard,dpad,mediaplyer,real gamepad, multitouch touchpad,touch profiles.

    If you are satisfied with DroidMote is much appreciated a good vote/review on Google Play

    How to customize keyboard keys, buttons, and axes actions in DroidMote Server:
    Video Mod Edit link removed

    The folder location of droidmote.kl is /system/usr/keylayout ------> this file is for customization

    The folder location of droidmote.kcm is /system/usr/keychars

    This two files by default, in android version > 3.0, are automatically installed at first installation on the device with the server inside.

    To know which scan codes send the client you can install in the server part the free tool (Keyevent Dispaly in the android Market).

    Then follow these simple steps:

    1) connect the client to the server
    2) make sure everything works
    3) on the server start the tool Keyevent Dispaly
    4) click a button on the client
    5) read the scan code on the Keyevent Dispaly
    6) open the file /system/usr/keylayout/droidmote.kl
    7) put the scan code on the left and on the right the new custom action
    8) reboot the device with the server installed.

    You can find the list of custom action to this android developer page:
    http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html.

    The default scan codes for droidmote buttons are:
    Arrow up is key 314
    Arrow down is key 316
    Arrow left is key 317
    Arrow right is key 318
    Arrow up-left is key 312
    Arrow up-right is key 313
    Arrow down-left is key 288
    Arrow down-right is key 306

    A button is key 304
    B button is key 305
    X button is key 307
    Y button is key 308
    Z button is key 309
    square button is key 310
    circle button is key 311
    triangle button is key 315


    Only honeycomb and later versions of Android include the use of buttons and axes:

    key 304 BUTTON_A
    key 305 BUTTON_B
    key 306 BUTTON_C
    key 307 BUTTON_X
    key 308 BUTTON_Y
    key 309 BUTTON_Z
    key 310 BUTTON_L1
    key 311 BUTTON_R1
    key 312 BUTTON_L2
    key 313 BUTTON_R2
    key 314 BUTTON_SELECT
    key 315 BUTTON_START
    key 316 BUTTON_MODE
    key 317 BUTTON_THUMBL
    key 318 BUTTON_THUMBR

    If you have the DroidMote Server installed on a version earlier than honeycomb but you want utilize the buttons, open the file querty.kl and add:

    key 304 A
    key 305 B
    key 306 C
    key 307 X
    key 308 Y
    key 309 Z
    key 310 D
    key 311 E
    key 312 F
    key 313 G
    key 314 H
    key 315 I
    key 316 L
    key 317 M
    key 318 N

    You can customize also the axes from honeycomb and later version of Android:

    left stick x is 0x00
    left stick y is 0x01

    right stick x is 0x02
    right stick y is 0x05

    accelerometer x is 0x10
    accelerometer y is 0x11

    In the default configuration you have:
    axis 0x00 X
    axis 0x01 Y
    axis 0x02 Z
    axis 0x03 LTRIGGER
    axis 0x04 RTRIGGER
    axis 0x05 RZ
    axis 0x10 HAT_X
    axis 0x11 HAT_Y
    in this configuration you use the left stick to move the avatar --> X and Y and the right stick to change view of the avatar --> Z and RZ

    If you want you can change this in:
    axis 0x00 Z
    axis 0x01 RZ
    axis 0x02 X
    axis 0x03 LTRIGGER
    axis 0x04 RTRIGGER
    axis 0x05 Y
    axis 0x10 HAT_X
    axis 0x11 HAT_Y
    in this configuration you use the left stick to change view of the avatar --> Z and RZ and the right stick to move the avatar --> X and Y

    Another useful configuration for the axes if you want use the analog LTRIGGER and RTRIGGER is:
    axis 0x00 X
    axis 0x01 Y
    axis 0x02 Z
    axis 0x03 LTRIGGER
    axis 0x04 RTRIGGER
    axis 0x05 split 0x00 RTRIGGER LTRIGGER
    axis 0x10 HAT_X
    axis 0x11 HAT_Y
    in this first configuration you use the left stick to move the avatar --> X and Y and the right stick to change view when you move left and right, instead if you move up and down you use the LTRIGGER and the RTRIGGER. (is useful to drive a car or generic racing game).

    If you have a racing game or you want move the character with the accelerometer, you can change the defaul axes 0x10 and 0x11 with all you want.


    For more information on the customization look at:
    http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html


    Games that support gamepad only for testing the "real gamepad" emulation future:

    - Shadowgun
    - Riptide Gp
    - Reckless Getaway
    - GTA 3
    - Onlive games with this patched apk link or mirror-1
    - Raging Thunder II
    - Cordy
    - Hockey Nations 2011
    - All Emulators

    Updated list:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542820

    Suggest a new game with the gamepad support !


    For games that do not natively support gamepads, you can create a touch profile with the app "Touch Profile Creator" and put the xml file created in the sd card of the device in which you have installed DroidMote Client.

    HOW TO INSTALL DROIDMOTE SERVER ON MK802

    Premise:

    MK802 with DroidMote inside is an "economic special google tv".
    Special because, without touch screen you can use all apps and games that support only touch actions. (and not only...)
    The MK802 has sufficient hardware (my model is 512MB ram), but have inside a jung ROM.
    The Android community we're working on to improve.
    With this video i want only demonstrate how well run DroidMote with a mini device like this (i hope with better hardware), and how many things you can do.
    To install DroidMote on this device there is a little hack because the rom for now, lacks many basic components.
    In 99% of the Android devices the installation is automatic,and requires no actions.

    Video of DroidMote in action on MK802:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keancvm07uo


    Workaround without changing the ROM:

    1) Download and install DroidMote Server from the Google Play.
    2) Start DroidMote and click with the mouse the ON button. (started well, but does not work do not worry).
    3) Download the uinput.ko in the attachment below.
    4) open terminal emulator (If you not have it, download from Google Play).
    5) In terminal emulator run the following commands:

    su
    mount -o remount,rw /system
    busybox cp /download-folder-of-uinput/uinput.ko /vendor/modules (change "download-folder-of-uinput" with your folder ex. /mnt/sdcard/Download)
    busybox mv /vendor/modules/mma7660.ko /vendor/modules/mma7660.ko.bak
    busybox mv /vendor/modules/uinput.ko /vendor/modules/mma7660.ko
    busybox chmod 644 /vendor/modules/mma7660.ko
    umount /system

    6) restart the MK802
    7) open DroidMote Server, go in the settings and enable the options "start on boot".
    8) restart the MK802 (If all goes well, after two minutes from the boot, DroidMote open and start automatically,
    and is ready to receive connections from your phone).



    p.s.
    the module uinput.ko below, is for the MK802 with the default kernel 3.0.8+ (in the next ROM, this module and other corrections,
    should already be included and thus will not have to do anything -look at miniand.com for the new firmware with uinput inside-).
    3
    This uinput.ko module with vermagic=3.0.36+ preempt mod_unload ARMv7 can work on all allwinner a10 devices with the CM10 ROM of Christian Troy :
