A kernel patch and companion app that turns a rooted Android device into a USB HID keyboard and mouse, letting it control a PC at the hardware level. It works even in BIOS/bootloader screens because the device appears as a real USB input device.
Use cases
- control a PC from an Android phone over USB
- type into BIOS or bootloader with an Android device
- use phone as USB keyboard and mouse
- send HID keystrokes to a computer from Android
- remotely enter passwords on a locked machine via USB HID
When to choose
- you need true hardware-level USB input from an Android device, including pre-boot screens
- you have a supported rooted device and want a free HID gadget solution
When to avoid
- your device is not rooted or lacks a compatible kernel/boot image
- you only need network-based remote desktop control rather than USB HID
- you have a newer kernel (>=3.19) where ConfigFS-based tools like USB Gadget Tool suffice without patching
