Use "input" for non-rooted devices?

[knoxbrder]

If you use the command line program "input" on Android you can emit strings, keys, clicks, drags. Could you add an option to use that for non-rooted devices? I use this for my VNC server. On some devices it needs to be started via adb to get shell rights and it is a little slower than uinput. But it still allows devices (like my upgraded non-root tablet!) a way to use your app without root.

Thanks for thinking about it!

DroidMote is not a so stupid app as you think. DroidMote is a real driver at kernel level with more complex work that simulate real devices in all OS supported.

What you suggest is good for scripts and debug, but not for a serious program.

If you do not root Android, you'll never be the master, but others will be in your place. for me

Android without root is like a Ferrari with an engine of an old car. for me

p.s.
DroidMote Client not need root.

lol. I root all the devices I can, and if you can tell me how to root my TF201 running Jelly Bean I will happily do so; so far there is no root for it.

I am just saying it would be nice to have a fallback for devices without root.

My VNC server runs great as root, but I have a fallback for nonroot users to get "some" functionality.

Great apps by the way.

to root your TF201 look this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdi ... 321&f=1414

Thanks.

Unfortunately none of those work on a locked TF201.

And the unlock tools doesn't work on JB.
