LinuxRemote transforms your mobile phone or tablet into a wireless remote control for your Linux / Raspberry Pi.
It enables fully simulated mouse and keyboard through your local wireless network.

Advantages of having this app for Raspberry Pi:
Reduces cost of hardware for keyboard and mouse.
• Free-up the USB ports so that you can use them for other usages.
Reduces the clumsy look of your Raspberry Pi with less wires connected to it.
Specially, Kodi/XBMC on Raspberry Pi will be fun.


Features:
• Mouse-pad with two finger scroll support.
Simulates mouse left click / double click / right click (with two fingers) when you press on Mouse-pad area.
Dedicated Left button for text selections, or drag and drop uses.
Functional Keyboard in Landscape Mode (needs auto-rotate orientation setting enabled).
Supports all key combinations.
Compatible with all flavors of Linux.

Assumptions and Expectations:
Onetime internet connection on the Host to install required packages while configuring.
Wifi Network, where your Mobile and Host are in same LAN.
(Wifi Hotspot is also supported)
Host should have installed with python(2/3) along with pip(2/3) package.
(Raspberry Pi and most of the Linux distributions comes with pre-installed python and pip packages)
Requires 'root' or 'sudo' user to configure the LinuxRemote server on the Host machine.
The selected port is allowed in the Host Firewall.

Recommendations:
Best to use programmers friendly 'Hackers Keyboard'

NOTE:
I developed this app to contribute something to the Linux Community from my side. And I will make sure this App is free forever without any ads.
