      Turn your Android device into USB keyboard/mouse for your PC.

      You will need to install custom kernel to your Android device, that will add keyboard+mouse functions to it's USB port, this app is used to send key and mouse events. You will also need root.

      No driver installation is needed for your PC.
      It will work inside BIOS, inside bootloader, with any OS, and with any hardware that has USB socket - PC, Mac, Xbox, Chromebook, even other Android devices through USB Host adapter.

      Supported devices:

      Nexus 7 2012 WiFi - flash kernel inside this app
      If your Nexus 7 is not rooted - follow installation instructions here: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget

      Other devices - you will have to compile the kernel yourself, using this patch: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/blob/master/kernel-3.4.patch

      Works best with Hacker's Keyboard.

      If you compiled the kernel for any device not listed here - contact me, I'll add your kernel to the list.

      Experimental remote control functionality is available, with live camera feed, using built-in VNC server.

      This feature requires to run VNC client on the other PC or Android device. There are many VNC clients for PC and Android, that can be downloaded from Google Play.

      All sources are available at the github page listed above.

      I've flashed Boeffla kernel on my Oneplus 2 and this app works as good as I can hope. The only hindrance I've come across so far is if I detach the wire end attached to my phone before closing the app and unplugging the other end, my phone reboots or hangs and needs to be rebooted. Considering my phone isn't even on the list of supported devices (yet), I'm happy with giving this 4 stars

      Works perfect. Don't blame the app if you fail to find a Kernel. The keyboard, I cant seem to make it work but mouse/trackpad works perfect!

      Need to manually build kernel Unless you're on a Nexus 7, you have to manually build a kernel from source. This makes this app hardly usable off the bat.
