use jolla phone as bluetooth mouse/keyboard?
Ahoy sailors,
is there an app (Jolla or Android) to use jolla phone as bluetooth keyboard+mouse? (Emulate HID bluetooth device to remote control any bluetooth compatible device)
I tried several android apps but couldn't get it working...
this looks promising https://anselm.hoffmeister.be/computer/hidclient/index.html.en will try to compile it later...
I have additional question: Is there any app that supports such a feature via wifi?

daywalker ( 2016-04-22 09:29:57 +0200 )editso i managed to compile hidclient... first installed
bluez-devel
viapkcon
did amake
and copied hidclient executable to /usr/local/binhidclient -l
lists devices... 0 and 1 (touch_synaptics/capkey_synaptics) should be the right devices to grab input from. apparently it doesn't work...on ubuntu side i managed to connect to jolla as Human Interface Device Service (HID) via
blueman
application and a new device with MAC of Jolla bluetooth connection shows up as xinput devicewhen i start hidclient on jolla without any parameters some input is captured (visible in terminal) but nothing arrives on ubuntu machine.
bluetooth service on ubuntu creates /devices/virtual/input/input17 and udev creates input device /dev/input/event14 and /sys/devices/virtual/input/input17/event14 with driver "evdev" followed by xinput creating a xkb
maybe someone can help me from there
