Alternative to DroidMote ?

but you are crazy ?

i tested it, and you want copy DroidMote, i think.

but the result is an application unusable.

many many lag. unusable. the worst clone that I've ever seen.

try it for yourself. hahahah


a client with a browser, over http, you are crazy....

where is the password ? everyone can get into my phone ?


with DroidMote you can control Android, Windows and Linux, you can play with all multi-touch games, you can have voice dictation and gesture typing. controller simulation, touch profiles , real multitouch touchpad and hrdware controller forward to DroidMote Server.

Please do not mention the word DroidMote near your toy.

I still remember when you wanted to buy droidmote in the first month of life to insert it in your cheap device.

We are not crazy and we made controlling Android phone via HTTP possible. Did we not?
The app does work as advertised and we did mention that the mouse is slower than native touch screen in our description

Sorry, we didn't "copy" Droidmote. We mimic Droidmote but we did not copy.
If you insists that we copy, that is equivalent to accusing Google (Android) copy Apple's IOS; Ubuntu copy MS Windows; etc..

There is NOT a single industry that doesn't have at least two players serving similar market. Get used to it. Monopoly is not encouraged by any government in the world. Even Google are not permitted to monopolize the internet and will face legal actions if they do.

where is the password ? everyone can get into my phone ?
Does Droidmote ever have a password to start with?
We will and can implement password if user desires but I think user may not like it.. If someone is already in your LAN, you trust them already, don't you?

with DroidMote you can control Android, Windows and Linux, you can play with all multi-touch games, you can have voice dictation and gesture typing. controller simulation, touch profiles , real multitouch touchpad and hrdware controller forward to DroidMote Server.
Sure, DroidMote can control Android, Windows and Linux, you can play with all multi-touch games and but you can't do it the other way round... i.e. to control Android from Android, Windows, IOS, Mac OS X, Linux, etc which is what our customers want...

So, it is obvious we are targeting a different market and we are not in your territory.

Please do not mention the word DroidMote near your toy.
Sorry, but even if you have a trademark on your app's name. You can't stop someone mentioning it.

Tell that to Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc not to mention their competitor's name too.

I still remember when you wanted to buy droidmote in the first month of life to insert it in your cheap device.
We did have a discussion but you were not able to meet our requirements by being cross-platform capable nor interested to help in that direction. So, we have no choice but to build our own.
