About BlueputDroid

*** Root required ***

This application will allow to use your device as a remote mouse and keyboard for your PC/PS3.
Since low level apis are used, there is no way by now to ensure 100% compatibility with all devices (because of different bluetooth implementations of some vendors): if the log says "invalid or inactive bluetooth device" your only option is to try a different ROM like Cyanogenmod (if available).

Look at the video tutorials for more info:

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*
- 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
- 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 yet
- MAC: ? (not tested)
- Vizio Internet TV: works

But I can't get it to work with hulu , or any games yet. It really doesn't deserve four stars but every review i've seen here has been made by an idiot so this is me feeling bad.

wouldn't let me run it because of my ad blocker but i still bypassed your crap anyway. LOL.

Mostly working with my Raspberry Pi and a Bluetooth adapter. Some keys don't work (;), and others don't map correctly (-). I have a Samsung Galaxy S3.

Would not work on any custom 4.2.2 roms I tried. Cm10.1.2 fail. SlimBean 7 fail. Resorted to stock root invisiblek rom and it worked like a charm. 4 stars only because there is no ps button to quit an app. But its awesome. I no longer have to worry about my kids losing my remote. Easy to connect. ***Does anyone know if the paid version contains more features?***

This was great but when my old phone exploded I got this one and it does not seem to support this phone

Tried several different Roms, and the last one was cyanogenmod (which I'm currently using) as is suggested by the app many times. Still get the error where it is not compatible with my devices Bluetooth stack. Hope there is an update that takes care of this. Really want this to work.

I'm using a Galaxy Nexus from Sprint (toroplus) along with CyanogenMod 10.2 RC1 and I still get the error message about an incompatible Bluetooth stack.

This is a great app-worked on my first shot. Hoping for greater control over my ps3...power control and correct function in Netflix/YouTube...would happily pay for those upgrades.

I am using CM 10.1.3 and its saying I need to use CM due to a Bluetooth stack error. After a bit of research I found that someone said it will work on any ROM that's not 4.2 or higher... When is this going to work on the newer versions of android/CM?

Tells me it doesn't work and that I should try a different Cyanogen mod. I also just noticed that it hasn't been updated since September. Might work for you, but I'm uninstalling

Currently it doesn't work with either my nexus 5 (hammerhead) or galaxy nexus (toro), both of which are running cyanogenmod (cm10.2 on the gnex, cm11 latest nightlies on nexus 5). All i get is the bluetooth stack error on both devices.

Running note 3 rooted hyperdrive 4.4.2 stock kernel tried again on Darth star 4.4.2 with adjustable kernel still wouldn't work.

I liked the app, however it seems that it does not work with Swype, unless I type one character at a time (click the character on the keyboard and select it on the Swype list). Also missed the ps button.

Doesn't work on HTC One with CM10.2 nightlies due to an unsupported Bluetooth stack. As this possibility is mentioned in the description, I can't fault the developer (and the One has a weird BT stack anyway).

Q70%
by Q####:

I like the concept. Ever since I saw Sony Ericcson handsets being able to act as "clickers" for slide presentations etc., I figured other phones should be able to do it, and with BlueputDroid (and an appropriately configured su executable and compatible bluetooth stack) they can. The concern I have about this app is its stability. It doesn't seem to gracefully handle bluetooth not being switched on 10-20 seconds before you start the app, and if you'd been using the app then stopped it, then went to restart it again, often you need to go into system app settings and purge the app's settings and cache before it will restart again.. Sometimes you need to powercycle the phone. Similar behaviour is noted with SSHDroid, another application from this author. A lot of technical work has gone into the implementation from the perspective of the BT stack manipulation - that said, it would be nice to see it function without having to force quit/flush cache all the time - that would see me consider purchasing the Pro version. Does anyone know if the Pro version supports all the keys in Hackers Keyboard? I see "Key not supported" a lot in the free version, even on stock keyboard sometimes.

Works brilliantly on my z tablet with stock Rom and my z phone stock Rom and cm10 but support is broken on cm11 I dont know if its a different Bluetooth stack or not but I still love it, ps please add support for cm11

Was working on Nexus 7 Before latest update to 4.2. Now says invalid Bluetooth Stack. Will there be an update to work on 4.2 w/o rom mod?

Sorry but this app fails. All I get is a blank screen and then a FC if I try to do anything. If I wait nothing happens.

Why isn't the Nexus 4 supported. That really sucks. I was really looking forward to using this tool on my ps3.

says something about a wrong Bluetooth stack and to use a Cm rom, which I am on!! Kernel level? So basically no custom rom support? Just put that in the description

Works great on droid bionic. Use it for the PS3 without issues. Could you maybe add a "PS" button and the option to auto tap keys? A solid 5 star app.

Required to set keyboard type manually under Mac OSX 10.6.8, but works great afterwards. Also works under Windows 7 with the default Bluetooth stack (this differs depending on OEM and device).

I'm not giving it one star because it worked amazingly on my galaxy victory but I upgraded to an lg volt from virgin mobile but this device's Bluetooth stack is incompatible with my phone which really sucks, if there's an update to fix this I will be very pleased but for now, 2 stars

Lol, wrong BT-stack, install Cyanogenmod (if available). And that while running CM10.2 NIGHTLY.. so those errormessages are worthless. A shame, the idea behind the app is sound.

Installed on rooted galaxy note 2, paired with a nexus 7 with damaged digitizer, and it worked like charm. Now I can do anything on my nexus 7 thanks to this app.

FINALLY someone made a REAL bluetooth HID input device app for Android. I can't tell you how much better it is not to need to download and install extra crap to make those "other" apps work. Couldn't get it working with Windows 7, but as advertised, PS3, Linux, and if I remember right osx also worked. I was also able to use my phone as an input for my tablet AND vice versa, so it looks like Windows 7 is the odd man out (probably implemented incorrectly). Thanks awesome dev!

My phone its root and its a Tmobile galaxy s2 with Cyanogenmod 12.1...but it doesn't work. It says try a different ROM like CyanogenMod which I have... I really should have rated it 1 stars but maybe it doesn't work for lollipop

Can you add some L/R/Trigger, Analog Stick, and home buttons? Your app is almost perfect!

I managed to connect to my ps3 with no problems and yes I was able to control the ps3's homescreen with this app, keyboard was also accessible but when I put a game disc in, and play a game, and open the homescreen while in game to send a my friend's messages, it wont work. I noticed its only useable when ur on home screen and not when playing a game. The only reason I would want an app like this is to control the keyboard while in game, this would make it easier for us to type & reply while playing online

So I downloaded and installed this app as I had something similar on my iphone. I tried sending a message over PSN only to find that I cant enter some of the basic special characters including but not limited to : ? # $ @ : Standard A-Z characters are fine but anything more than this and it fails miserably. Also, the free version doesnt run with an ad blocker enabled. So you have to run it with ads or buy the Pro version. I would be fine with buying Pro IF it worked properly. Hence my rating of 3 stars. I knocked off 1 star for lack of functionality and the other for not allowing the use of an ad blocker. If the first issue is fixed then I will happily upgrade my rating.
