Choose a tag to compare

With another version, more bugs will be introduced, features added and errors fixed.

With this update I fixed some bugs regarding keys.

How to install

This is a portable app. It doesn't need to be installed and all settings are kept on the executable's directory.
However, you'll need to setup it correctly on the Android device.

Setup steps

  1. Download the zip file with the compiled binaries.
  2. Access this page on your Android device. (Short URL: https://goo.gl/2eHuoJ)
  3. Download the apk file.
  4. Enable Unknown Sources on the settings. (If you know what you're doing, skip to step 5)
    1. Go to Settings -> Security.
    2. Check Unknown sources.
  5. Find the APK file you've just downloaded (either with a file manager or a download manager)
  6. Install the application. Don't open the app yet!
  7. Disable Unknown Sources on the settings. (If you know what you're doing, skip these steps)
    1. Go to Settings -> Security.
    2. Uncheck Unknown sources.

Now that the application was installed, extract the zip file to a folder and run the executable.
After the setup is completed, you'll get a notification to allow the application to go through the firewall. Don't worry, that is to allow the Android app to auto connect to computer.

Good luck!
