AndroMouse 3.0 lets you to convert your Android phone into wireless mouse, keyboard, media remote, file browser and much more. Communication with your computer is made either using your wireless network or using Bluetooth. AndroMouse features most mouse functionalities including click, doubleclick, drag, scroll and rightclick. You can use your standard Android touch keypad as a wireless keyboard. In addition, AndroMouse also provides extra features.
Another most popular feature is ‘speak-to-type’. Relax in your couch and search Google or Youtube with your voice. Compose an email with your voice instead of using your keyboard!!
Here is a quick tutorial to get you started.
Download AndroMouse directly into your phone from here. Or Scan following using any QR barcode reader:
You need AndroMouse Server running in your computer in order for this application to work. AndroMouse Server is companion program that comes with AndroMouse application. The latest release is AndroMouse Desktop 2.5.jar Please download it here.
Note: If you want to automatically load AndroMouse server everytime your computer loads. Do one of the following:
Windows: Copy the server file into startup folder. You can do this by right clicking on startup folder(Start>All Programs>startup) and selecting open.
Mac: Go to system preferences>login items>add.
Note: You need to have Java installed in your system to run AndroMouse Desktop Server. If you have not installed java, please download and install it from here.
Note: To connect using wifi, please connect your phone and your computer to a same wifi hotspot.
Note to Linux users: When you double click on the AndroMouse Desktio 2.5.jar, you might see a message saying the file is not marked as executable. To fix this follow these steps. Right click on the file and select properties. Click on ‘Permissions’ tab on top and check on ‘Allow executing file as program’ under Execute. Select close and you are done. If you want to use command line then chmod 777 to the desktop file.
To establish connection using wireless network
1. Open AndroMouse desktop server and select WiFi
Note: When you launch AndroMouse Server for the first time in Windows, you will get Windows Security Alert saying that Windows Firewall has blocked some features. You must select Allow Access to use AndroMouse. If you selected Cancel by chance then go to Windows Firewall in control panel and select Restore Defaults. Launch the server program again and this time select Allow Access.
And that’s it for the server part.
2. Launch AndroMouse from your phone
3. Tap on ‘WiFi’
4. Enter the ip adress as shown by the desktop server or hit ‘detect automatically’
5. Tap on ‘Connect’. If the connection is successful, the globe icon on the title bar will change. This is all you have to do.
Once connection is established, the server will change server status to ‘connected’
To establish connection using Bluetooth (Windows/Mac)
1. Open AndroMouse server program.
2. Launch AndroMouse application and tap on ‘bluetooth’. When touch pad is displayed, tap on ‘connect’ from options menu. You will see a list of all bluetooth device that your phone is paired with.
If your device is not listed then tap on ‘Scan for devices’.
Here is a quick tutorial video.
4. Select the bluetooth device that AndroMouse Server displays.
Note: You need to pair your phone with your computer before using bluetooth option. This is one time process only. If you are using mac, make sure you are sharing internet connection with bluetooth devices. If you dont know how to enable internet sharing follow these steps. Click on little bluetooth icon on top of the screen. Select ‘Bluetooth Preferences’ the click on ‘Advanced.’ Then check on ‘Share my internet connection with other bluetooth devices’. Click ok.

Which file I need to install after download the andromouse for desktop server. Pls Help.
TQ
just look for the ANDROMOUSE on the google market. that’s all
I have the same question. I installed app on the phone fine.
Then I came here to download Andromouse 2.5 on my laptop, unzipped the folder, then unzipped another file in it, yet I still can’t find install program. Please help!
dude… if you unzipped the jar file inside, you are too stupid to exist.
no install files, just the jar file… use your pretty mouse buttons to double click it and tada… oh my gawd its workingzzzzzz
moron
The “.jar” file is the program. You don’t install it; it’s completely contained in that one file. Just put that file wherever you’d like on your computer, and create a shortcut to it in your Start Menu.
Alternately, do as the author suggested, and just put it in the Startup folder (Start -> All Programs -> Startup [right-click] -> Open) so that it will automatically run when Windows starts.
in the folder, the contents are AndroMouse Desktop.jar and readme.text. maybe you check the “JAR” when you installed winzip/winrar etc so it’s look like the others compression’s file. then, you must uncheck the “JAR” before you can use the server file.
if you use winrar, go to options -> settings -> integration -> uncheck “JAR” -> click OK. then, you can try to double click or open the file server and you can see it like at the pictures. it’ll work as long as you had installed Java on your computer.
hope it’ll help you
I would like to connect AndroMouse to my TV Samsung UE40ES8090. The TV can connect to standard HW BT keybosrds, but does not find the AndroMouse. Any hint (by email) greatly welcome.

Hi,
Great app!
On my sony ericsson experia with android 2.3 the arrows on the navigation keys do not appear.
Also is it possible to get the auto complete words on phone screen to enter on the PC?
THANKS
james
WHEN WILL THIS APPLICATION WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SERBIA???
My touchpad have orange color and buttons are blue.
Please help me.
Sorry for my bad english.
I have no idea how to install this in xp
this app is so wonderful. i love it so much that i even installed andromouse desktop server in every computer i have. thanks guys. it works great on Samsung galaxy series.
love it!
There is no executable file in the zip download.
Oh, I am having the same problem.
Is there another place to download?
the file ends with .jar is executable…
but zou have to have installed jre (Java runtime enviroment) and then right click on the file and open with Java
There’s another market for your application which are the simulators. If you create a customizable interface which able the buttons creation (size, colours and caption) your software might be converted in to a virtual button box for Flight Simulators, Racing Simulators and many others. Perhaps you could think about it.
Yeah I came here hoping this app would allow for programmable buttons and if possible a customizable interface. Please consider this
when is there going to be a mac download? i can’t get it to run
Thanks for developing this great app. I wanted to let you know that the server seems to take up a lot of resources. After running for a long my system enters turbo mode and CPU usage gets very high as soon as I kill the server the fans start spinning down. I guess this is probably due to this being a java app which you probably used because of multi os compatibility. Please look into this issue.
Hello!
Great App!! I love it!!
The only thing I can’t do is the function of “drag”… It is said “As you would do with your laptop”, so I tap the left button and drag my finger as the same time, as I do with my laptop, but it doesn’t work… I have tried every gesture of my finger and nothing… I have tried with my Nexus One and my Galaxy tab, with wifi and bluetooth, Windows and Mac… What am I doing wrong!!??
If I solve this problem, this app will be perfect for me.
Thank you very much!
I have that same exact problem, pls show us what we are doing wrong…….otherwise one of the best apps I have in my phone! Good job!
Is there no command or windows key in this interface?
I’d like to control my plex-server, but for mac most important shortcuts are command-something…
this app is very useful.please send me the code of this project.
Hi,
Nice app. Thanks for availing free version.
It works well on Windows, but I could not begin with Linux.
OS: Fedora 14 64 bit
java version “1.6.0_20″
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.10) (fedora-55.1.9.10.fc14-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)
The problem is not due to permissions.
Thanks in advance,

To drag you double tap the touchpad area and then move to where you want to drag to
Double tap, just opens the file. I can’t get it to drag.
he means double tap and on the second tap keep holding…
jesus… how hard can it be to figure it out on your own…
havent you had a laptop before? how do you drag on it?
yeah you are right… you double tap and on the second tap you keep holding and draggin…
grats… you passed you first computing for dummie 101…
Well anyone with any common sense uses the mouse buttons below the touchpad like they would for anything else, or uses a IBM laptop with a proper nipple mouse, but apparently that works too.
We live and learn.
good
The only thing I can’t do is the function of “drag”… It is said “As you would do with your laptop”, so I tap the left button and drag my finger as the same time, as I do with my laptop, but it doesn’t work… I have tried every gesture of my finger and nothing… I have tried with my Nexus One and my Galaxy tab, with wifi and bluetooth, Windows and Mac… What am I doing wrong!!??

oh my friggin god you people are unbelievable……
double tap and keep holding and dragging on the second tap! the button+drag is for noobs!
Hi. I liked this app a while ago. I stopped using only because I had to get my laptop fixed some time ago. It’s fixed now so I’m back and excited to use this amazing app again. But this time i’m having a problem downloading this on my laptop now
. When I open up the file, the regular window is shown like the first picture up there ^^^ under the QR code thingy. But there’s another little window that opens up with it saying “AndroMouse Server is already running” and when i click ‘okay’ or the ‘x’ , the other window (like the one shown up above there) closes with it, and nothing’s happening. I can’t open it up. Please help, this really is a fine app but it just can’t seem to work …. :/
Omg never mind lol i just had to extract it.
Would be cool to pilot another android device, a tablet with a phone for exemple.
Yes I agree, I can control my windows netbook with this, but not my Android tablet, and my tablet is a lot easier to connect to my TV, just use the HDMI cable.
Agree! Would be cheaper & easier than buying a wireless mouse or trackpad. I have an HTC Droid Incredible 2 phone that I’m running this on, and would love to be able to use this with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus w/ICS, along with the Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard for Android I just got. Great app, many thanks!
how to install this in W7. i have java. pls rly me…
You don’t have to install anything if you have java. Just copy the .jar file to your desktop and double click it.
The problem may be due to using 64bit Java with this jar. Dude! Put a 64bit version of the server out there for crying out loud.
The server is developed in a 64bit machine and should run fine on another 64bit machine. Can you try copying it on the desktop and then running it. For some reason people have solved the problem this way!!
I noticed that and tried it, and sure enough it worked. Ideally, a this would be a perfect application for an HTPC. I mean, who keeps a keyboard /mouse combo handy when they’re watching TV? HOWEVER, one already has to be logged onto their windows PC in order to start the server. Of course, you solve that problem by keeping your HTPC powered on and not hibernating /sleeping (which you probably wouldn’t do anyway if you were using WMC to record TV with). The other (more elegant) solution would be to implement the server as a real service and let it publish keyboard and mouse events to the active window. Just my $0.02.
It would be nice if it had a true Windows Media Center keyboard with buttons like LiveTV, Recorded TV, Guide, Channel up/down etc.
you have custom apps¡¡¡ i love this app
I like to have an application for a specific use as I contact you?
Just bought it – great app, works perfectly but it does use about 50% CPU – this really needs sorted and my laptop fan is now on all the time!
Will there ever be a custom gesture function?
e.g Like a two finger swipe down to close.
GOOD APP
The 64bit solution should be added to the read me file.
Server app forced close every time I run it on Mountain Lion GM. Any suggestion?
Rgds,
nesha
Hello Nebojsa,
I have not tried the server on Mountain Lion but I am hopeful that it should work. Can anyone verify this?
Don´t works in Mountain. It closes immediately.

Hi, I recently bought an Android tv box and have been searching the internet for an app to convert my android phone to act as a mouse and keyboard for the android TV. Preferably using Wi fi as the TV box doesnt have onboard bluetooth. I would appreciate any help. Cheers Greg C
it opens fine but it cant detect my phone help please?
I have the communication between my PC and Razr Maxx working properly. I can use the mouse and type but when I click the microphone icon between the two mouse buttons, nothing happens. Any idea why? Thanks.
Nice App…
Just wanted to know if you are working on a Linux version of same?
When I run the .jar file I get this error…
“AndroMouse Server is already running”
I pulled up task manager and didnt see any thing running related to this or JRE.
Is there a fix for this? Or some way to circumvent?
Hi Scott,
Try copying the server in your desktop and running from there.
I Got the same problem, I tried it alredy, but it didnt Help. What can i do?
Hi,this app so useful and so thanks…
I’m iranian and we ca’t use the paid version becaus we ar forbidden to use pay pal , master card… but i need the full version of this app…
how can help me?
how can i get it?
what is your suggestions?
i doesn’t open with me plz how it open on pc ,, when i open the ( open with ) text appear and it didn’t open plz reply and say how
Your App is wonderful !!!, just wondering if you can develop an alternative for controlling Android to Android like this one. That gonna be very very useful because actually there are many Android Dongles to connect Led TVS and don’t include Keyboard neither Mouse. With an App like yours many many people will buy for sure !!!. This kind of Dongle came with ICS and Wifi but whithout Bluetooth, and considering how many Android devices exist, many people gonna use your Android devices to control the dongle .
can not send chinese character to pc. Is this expected or my setup problem?
Thanks for the good app.
after l set password in window server program. it does not ask for password. i can connect directly .
please help
Hi there,
I would like to use it with my “Android TV box” with my galaxy for KBD+Mouse. Could you let us know how to use it or where I can get it ?
Thank a lot.
Great app. I have a disability and I think this app will let me use my computer. Unfortunately, I can’t drag. Could you add a drag feature?
This is a really cool app. I use this. But i was thinking if there a possibility to use phone as a mouse on an android tab?
Hello ! program super !
From turkey
hi @surajbh i just discovered this app and you did a really good job on this.
my officemates are blown out of their minds when i showed them this app. haha
anyway, this app is really great and wish you can develop this more. it would be awesome to have the “pinch to zoom in and put feature” when using on programs like Photoshop, Illustrator or even just a website. just a suggestion. thanx a lot for this!!!
-typing on my mobile using andromouse
Could you add a feature that lets you lock the computer?
installation instructions for ubuntu 12.04 plz
next version, please, enable volume buttons to pass slides (very usefull, could allow to keep the screen off, and control de power point with phisical buttons)
thnx
Does anyone have an answer to this? I downloaded the file to my computer (granted program program access) and launched the program as directed. However it jumps right to the main screen. When you watch the video the first thing that pops up when launching from your desktop is the option to use wifi or bluetooth. (Similar to when you launch from the phone) however the version I am using doesn’t give me that first option and therefore I cannot get it to connect. I downloaded 2.5 and it was downloaded directly from this site. Any thoughts? And please no DUMB responses, thanks
Mike, the server shown in the video from older version. 2.5 is the newest one and the UI is different.
Hmm that makes sense, I had a feeling that wa the older version So how do I get the new version to coneect? I am using WIFI (both on the same network, which is my home network)
I followed the directions and mine works fine. In the new server you don’t have to select wifi or bluetooth. If the server shows your ip address then you should be fine. just use the same ip in AndroMouse
The app is wonderful, it works, but when I pin the .jar file to the Start Menu (for quick access), it doesn’t work; it gives me the following Message: “AndroMouse Server is already running”, and when I click “OK” it closes. What can I do?
Can I use AndroMouse to connect to my Galaxy 10.1 Tab via wi-fi?
I have installed the AndroMouse driver file on my main PC connected to the same network. This is to avoid touching the Tab screen which leaves a lot of fingermarks.
Media keys are hit and miss with a lot of programs, works with windows media player, but not so much windows media center, and not at all with Spotify. Keyboard media buttons can work with all of these so I feel like the media buttons here should be universal also.
Hi Craig,
We are working on it. Thanks.
Really great when used on PC but server will on run on Mac OSX Mountain Lion.
Any chance of a fix for this as I would like to use this on my Mac Mini.
I can confirm that the server does not run on Mountain Lion.
This is a great app on the PC, shame about not working on my Mac Mini.
If you need any error logs etc please email me.
Kind Regards, Pete
yup, does not work on mountain lion. looks like it is related to bluecove.
Once i download the zip file and extract it and install the java… what else because i cant do anything else beyond that… please help it look like a really good app…
Hi, I’m using OS X mountain lion, too. Andro server is not working with my Mac..always quit unexpectedly because of using libbluecove.jnilib plug-in…I need help here, tks
I want to install andromouse on my computer but i didnt install bcoz it is .jar file…How to install .jar file to my pc??? Answer me if you know..
Please make it work on Mountain Lion. It closes immediately after opening.
how do you uninstall in Windows 7? I cannot find it in programs and features. Please help.
Thank you, Penny
Dear Admin,
This is a great project.
Sadly, There is no way to donate from Nigeria? We cannot open a Paypal account from here. The popular online payment options are Mastercard, VisaCard and Libertyreserve (www.libertyreserve.com). They are all secured. Would you like to consider setting them up?
Best regards.
Collins
very amazing app
when can we expect a working copy of the server for mountain lion, just bought it….before researching it…
too bad it wasn’t a $75 app…
Hi guys,
Any solution for Mountain Lion?
The server does not run there, is there any fix or workaround?
Kind regards,
Marco
can i use this with a google chrome box
awesome I really like this tool it makes my work faster
Hello, I want to use my smartphone as a mouse on my tablet. Is that possible?
Good job, but it does not seem to support clipboard paste, am I correct?
It will be usefull to me to paste field content from SMS or own apps.
Thank you, best regards Paul
