BlueputDroid is an application that allows you to use your device as a remote mouse and keyboard for your PC/PS3.

You’ll need to pair your device with an host of your choice and establish a connection. A single press simulated the left mouse button and a double press simulates the right mouse button.



Quick tutorial:

• Open the application and click on the start button (top/left button ">")


• Check for errors in the log window


• IMPORTANT: if you got the error "invalid or inactive bluetooth device", your device is not supported and your only option is to try a different ROM like Cyanogenmod (I cannot fix that because the problem is at "kernel" level).



• Pair your device with an host of your choice* like in video 1 (Linux) or 2 (PS3)


• Once paired, click on the lens button (secondo top/left) to refresh the available bluetooth devices


• Click on a device of your choice to establish a connection


• Once connected a green screen should appear (like in video n°1)


• Single press to simulate the left mouse button (the background should change in blue)


• Double press to simulate the right mouse button (the background should change in red)


• Hit "menu" to show/hide/change the keyboard

*Tested hosts:

• PS3: works


• Linux: works (tested on Ubuntu 10.10)


• Windows 7: not working (I'm actually trying to fix it)


• MAC: ? (reported to not work)



• Vizio Internet TV: works (thanks to Trevor for reporting)
