[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
When you can't click with an hardware mouse, with the touch mouse of DroidMote you can.

This is valid for all android devices and firmwares, in some games you can't click on menu with an hardware mouse, because the game don't have mouse support.

In this case, you can enable the DroidMote touch mouse and you can.

Apart the gamepad touch profiles that is the only way to play with multi-touch-only games.

Instead when a game support hardware controllers and mouse you can play with DroidMote without touch profiles like a real controller and with the mouse you can move faster on menu. A gamer know very well that also if a game support the controller, the mouse is a must have to move inside menu to not lose time.

The power of DroidMote is that is an all in one input device and you can do everything also standard multi touch gestures like swipe, zoom, rotate and others gestures with two fingers on touchpad. DroidMote emulate also a real touch screen in your device, therefore the game and app can not have problems if check for a touch screen.

There are many others funtionalities, one for example is that many gameloft games like mc4 or six guns and others, by default have active only the touch interface, but when you have DroidMote connected the game enable also the standard controller support.

Also the voice dictation is very useful, because you can write in every app with your voice also if the app was not programmed to accept voice.

The mouse, the keyboard and the fast scrolling are basic functionalities that work very very well if you don't have connection problems and is beaufiful can do this without the encumbrance of an hardware keyboard and mouse on your couch or in your bed.

I think that the my video playlist, is sufficient to understand that DroidMote is a very fast and easy solution for control everything.

Usually i don't speak or advertize DroidMote in this thread, but personally i tested all input devices that an user can test and i can say without problems that i don't know a better solution than DroidMote to control Android on TV.

DroidMote is not a simple and stupid remote like others as you can imagine from the simple interface. Under the hood DroidMote is a very complex app improved more and more over the years, complying with the demands of thousands of users. Now, after 4 years of work, I can say to be satisfied. For this reason i have also the time to create free and fast full Android firmwares.

Support developers like me and others that think like me mean support your freedom for the future. Android today is full of limitations and we try to remove limitations so you can be free to chose what you prefer.

P.S.

Some limitations are not limitations imposed by Google, but also Google must accept impositions of others companies some times. An example is the DRM on movies and songs and its poor implementation that create only problems in the IT world.

Android TV was invented to fight the expansion of Chinese Android TV box because seller of movies and songs see this as a threat to their multimedia contents. Android TV is a way to recover the market. And after, if the platform will be adopted from many users, others restriction will come. If the user have limitations, big companies can sell better their services.
