DroidMote on MK802

[zulu99]

Premise:

MK802 with DroidMote inside is an "economic special google tv". Special because, without touch screen you can use all apps and games that support only touch actions. (and not only...) The MK802 has sufficient hardware (my model is 512MB ram), but have inside a very very bad ROM. The Android community we're working on to improve. With this video i want only demonstrate how well run DroidMote with a mini device like this (i hope with better hardware), and how many things you can do. To install DroidMote on this device there is a little hack because the rom for now, lacks many basic components. In 99% of the Android devices the installation is automatic,and requires no actions.

Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for so I could use my phone and tablet to control the MK802

Big thanks!

How did you manage to compile the kernel module?

Great news,

Theres now a custom image for use in Livesuit that includes uinput so theres no need for any extra steps, simply install the firmware below, then install the droidmote apps and you are away!

The links are below:

Now that it is now possible to create custom images that can be installed internally on the MK802 we will be able to create both Android and Linux ROM's, this is really going to open up the possibilities for this platform. These are very exciting times indeed - and another example of how the hacking community moves much faster than the manufacturers

So minus Droidmote access does this image provide anything else?

Was wondering the same thing myself... so installed it.. answer seems to be no...

The main reason for this firmware is to enable uinput in the Kernel which allows droidmote to work. It may also help other problems where certain keyboards dont work. I havent been able to test it though because my keyboard (Logitech K400) works fine. Other than that there should be no improvements.

Now that the community can create images like this, which can easily be installed via Livesuit we will likely see a lot of images popping up that will fix the other issues we have been talking about, its just a matter of time.
