Description

PLEASE NOTE: This is not in active development anymore.

When you want to be able to control your Linux Computer with your phone, and Wifi is not an option.

This application uses Bluetooth as it's communication with your computer.

Please Note: You will require the server in order for the phone to have something to talk with. The link with the installation instructions can be found below:

USAGE
- On the "Swipe Area" (Default) screen, you can swipe left and right to skip videos / music tracks. And Up to Pause / Play. Lastly swipe Down to stop.
- On the "Mouse Area" screen, you basically have a laptop trackpad. Moving your finger controls the mouse pointer.
- Tapping once is left click.
- Tapping Twice in quick succession is right click.
- And holding your finger down will right click.

Finding time to work on this is quite tough since I work full time, but I am all for opensource projects and welcome feedback.

You are welcome to create an issue if you like. It would be much appreciated:

Latest updates

What's new in version 1.0.1

Bug Fix: When you would drag the mouse and stop, it would from time to time right click. Which may be annoying.

I added some code to try and ensure that this doesn't happen.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★The app won't work without the server, but the server is broken beyond belief, and has been for over a year. Avoid this app if you like working stuff.
1 ★A hassle to get working
1 ★After spending a while to get the server working on arch linux, I found the android client disappointing. Right click doesn't seem to work (assumed long press), and scroll not supported (expected 2 finger scroll to work).
5 ★Worked well with my samsung phone as client over ubuntu laptop as server.. Total 5 stars for under 3 miutes easy setup and thank you for this awesome app!
5 ★Need time to setting server on ubuntu 16.04, but this work nicely, would be great if keyboard ability added. btw good work .
1 ★Getting the server running on Ubuntu 18.04 didn't seem to work. Perhapsthey need to make a handy installation script.
5 ★Works fine, using it as a substitute wireless mouse on a HTPC.
5 ★Good but can be better than more
3 ★I got it setup fine and can move the mouse around however... I cannot click. Also there are no options for mouse sensitivity or anything. 3 stars because while it doesn't quite work for me i imagine if it did it would be okay. Stock/unmodified AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 Active
