If any of you have the TO Travel Mouse, the latest HTC Universal driver works. It can be found here.
I installed to main memory. It took five attempts to find the mouse, but it works superbly so far, even handles the screen change when I switched the screen.
The only slight niggle is that the BT Keyboard driver installs as well, but that is an old moan.
Yes, the fact they combine the drivers is annoying. In this new version, does the mouse still require you to re-bond it every time you start it up or does it remember it's bonding now? The previous version had a bug that never allowed the device to remember it's bonding, forcing you to re-bond on every use.
I'm a sucker for stuff like this, and I'm afraid to say that I'm the kind of person whou would buy a mouse for my phone, altough is there any practicl reason you would? Like, isn't the point of the PPC not to have to carry extras around?
Quick.. put me off before I buy one! I already have a keyboard!

No, it seems to reconnect fine. Just click the mouse button and its connected.

I find that when using the Exec on a desktop that tapping the screen tips the device, often resulting in double taps. The mouse stops this. It really does make it like a mini laptop.
I think my TO mouse is broken. Can't get it to be discovered by anything at all, let alone my Exec.
HELLO EVERYONE
i am using a i ball usb keyboard which yesterday started giving problem
some keys doesn't work i don't know why but some are working so please tell me the solution
Sigh...
Which keys? Is it always the same ones? Does the keyboard work better on other machines? Do they work if you, say, press harder or wiggle them around a bit? Have you even tried unplugging and reconnecting it, or rebooting the computer, yet? What machine are you using this with? Have you tried any other keyboards, or indeed other USB devices,w ith that machine? If it has multiple USB ports, have you tried switching to a different one? Is the cable damaged in any way? Was anything spilled on the keyboard? What style of keyboard is it (no, I'm not going to research this for you, you're the one trying to get *us* to spend our time helping *you*)? Has it ever had problems before? How long have you been using it? Have you searched the Internet for anybody else with this problem?
I don't know what the solution is, but I can tell you the first problem you need to solve: you write crummy bug reports / requests for help. Your entire post boils down to
"It doesn't work. Tell me how to fix it"
and I was sorely tempted to respond with a simple "No." because you've given me absolutely nothing to work with, here.
An updating list to help give the Mad Catz guys an idea of what we want out of the OS. Please anyone post the features that you want and I'll update the list.

Good thread, happy with the product, but still room for improvements!
Please, add webcam support(UVC) !
http://support.madcatz.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/434/172/can-i-use-a-webcam-with-mojo
You can't clam to be a top-set box with out it!
Also exFat support would be nice
It's the standard for USB portable drives.
While I agree with this:
http://support.madcatz.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/427/172/how-to-turn-mojo-off
It's a portable device, so yes, please let us turn it off
Hardware wise:
The controller's gamepad/mouse switch.. it should be a raised tab rather then an indedent at the very least, I don't have the nails to use comfortably, it should be switchable with your thumb not your nail.
Also the screws on the controller aren't your standard phillips (+) screws, nor allen keys.
I like to open my controllers with a Precision Screwdriver set and clean the contact points, I know of others that do also.
For an "open" hardware device, this is the only sore point for me.
Lastly, most TV's now have a USB port.. the power specs to me looks like it could run off USB power:
http://support.madcatz.com/Knowledg.../172/what-is-mojos-range-of-power-consumption
Like android phones, use a USB cable with a USB adapter.. I have too many bricks in my power adapter
Having the DC in and the headphone jack next to each other is a pain, I have make sure I'm not putting DC in the headphone jack.
Having the MicroSD card under the HDMI makes hot swapping next to impossible, very hard to get to with the plastic molding so close.
MC some more feedback,
The android UI works okay in gamesmart mode, but there's just one thing that's frustrating me.
When holding down the mojo button to get to the listing of the running apps, the CTRLR in gamesmart mode can't traverse nor select an app.
If this could be fixed, then changing from game/mouse mode wouldn't be needed at all while using the andriod desktop/UI :good:
Cheers

I really second this point, it is so annoying to have those buttons when watching a film with xmbc. In games a bit less, but still it sucks.
Also, most people are probably going to plug in a keyboard, at least from time to time, but it would be nice to have a gamepad-friendly virtual keyboard, like the one of SteamOS. I.e. search "SteamOS Controller Input" as I cannot post links
HDCP + kernel
I wasn't expecting HDMI HDCP, but I guess it makes sense.
It's a pain when trying to capture HD gameplay, but I guess that wont change.
oh And while I'm here, it would be really really really .. really cool and open of mad catz to one day realese the kernel source of the mojo (or just the config settings) so we can compile our own hardware support
I know the shield had their kernel on github, not sure what happened to it tho, great idea too!
Kernel would be great so we can compile in CIFS support to mount network shares in the OS!
Huh I thought releasing the kernal source sounded pretty wild but after seeing stuff like Motorola releasing the Moto G kit kat kernel this seems like something that Mad Catz should totally do.

If I'm not wrong, they MUST release the kernel source code. It is just a Linux kernel with the android patches and maybe some custom modification. Because of the Linux license (GPL v2) any of us can ask for the code and the vendor must provide it at no additional cost.
HOWEVER, if the bootloader is not unlocked and/or you do not have root access then you cannot do anything with useful the sources: you can recompile the kernel, you can compile all the modules you want, BUT you cannot load the new kernel into the Mojo and you cannot insert the new modules into the kernel.
Nowadays many hardware vendors publish a semi-official way to have root access or to unlock the bootloader. Let's hope that the "hacking friendly" promise that Mad Catz put forward is not just a dishonest selling point.

I have a usb hub plugged into my 2.0 port with two usb drives attached. Both show as mounted in the settings (along with my SD card). Although I can read off of my usb drive via file explorer, I can't read off the drives with emu apps such as nes.emu and fpse etc. So I just use my usb drives for storage copy files to the sd when needed.
As a hard drive junkie, I'm gonna throw in a feature I'd like to see: Cut the power to USB when the unit goes into sleep mode if an external drive or thumb drive is detected. My tablet does this, and I'm able to disengage my hard drive without worry of data corruption...
Unfortunately on the MOJO my drive constantly runs (even after I unmount it)...Is there a way to cut off power when ejecting/unmounting a drive? Cut power when the system goes to sleep? Both of those are kind of important.

When you say show up as mounted in the settings what do you mean? I have a usb hub and have 2 hds plugged in but since when a disk drive gets mounted and it's 'home directory' is mnt>usbdrive. Whatever disk drive was plugged in first gets to be in this folder and the 2nd plugged in drive while recognized has no home directory.Thats why other apps can't recognize multiple disk drives only one usb drive. What I want is a mnt>usbdrive>usb1, usb 2, etc directory setup.
What is the likelihood that in a future update (if it happens) that they will include an option to HIDE the soft button bar.
This is a deal-breaker for me. I like my movie-watching experience and game playing experience to be immersive. Having a menubar there ALL THE TIME might as well be a form of adware as far as I'm concerned.
What's the point of a micro game console experience if it always looks like YOUR SMART PHONE is streaming to TV because the menubar is there to remind you? How stupid can they be?? Did they just release this a proof of concept? To say, "Hey, look what we did! Screw the customer experience..."
Please tell me "not to worry" or a "future custom rom" or "mod" will be "released soon to address."
If not, I'm returning this hunk of junk when it arrives.
I'll have ur lady junk!
wow
I'll give you $150USD plus postage if it's unopened

What's funny is I got in on a pretty could deal on it. On clearance for $160, free postage ;-p. There was only two but what surprised me (and made me cautious) is how does something go on clearance after only be out such a short time? There was only 2 left and I got in on the last one.
We'll have to see. Might actually think about that offer if I can break even. But if that work around works for me, then at least I fixed the deal-breaker for me. Hopefully the MOJO devs are listening and will fix ALL of this in their supposed update. My fear is will that update happen at all.....hopefully there is enough of a homebrew/mod community out there to at least squeeze out one custom rom that will give the users the experience they deserve. My 2 cents.
Please add this issue to the list!

:good: It's a great feature, I use it a lot, even in gamesmart mode it works!
Shame you have to switch to mouse mode to select an app.. is there any chance of better navigating the android UI in gamesmart mode in the new Android 4.4?

This is what I'm saying, you switch out to desktop, then go to tasks but can't pick an app in game mode.
You have to switch back to mouse mode, pick the game and switch back:

i've been trying really hard to get a droidmote/x360ce+splashtop setup with my shield and computer so i can stream regardless of my poorman's spec (1.9 ghz core 2 duo, GeForce 9800GT, 8GB ram, at least i have the second-latest OS, windows 8 64 bit) but droidmote and x360ce dont seem to be working correctly. when i try to play games like portal 2 (yes i know /bin for source engine games) the ONLY controls that work right is the up/down r-stick movements and the l-stick(and i'm not sure but maybe the right button idk) but i'm getting problems like- moving the r-stick left and right, which should move like mouse, counts as placing b/o portals, depending on the direction used. the r-trigger counts as moving the mouse right. buttons like l-trigger, l-button, y and b just dont work. i'm almost positive x and a aren't mapped right. the pause button does not work. i havent been able to test the dpad so i don't know if there are any problems with it. any possible help with this? i've wanted to stream from my computer so bad but i never figured out how to use droidmote until now. now i am so close and i'm both happy and depressed about it.
edit:
i had heard of it, but since i preciously did not know how to set it up right, i did not believe that splashtop thd actually HAD controller support. then, earlier, i got an idea. how aboutnif i tried to install the splashtop controller drivers like the droidmote drivers? well, lets just say it worked. it worked far better than i anticipated. so now i do not need this thread to help me any more. glad noone replied else i never would have put my brain to the task of thinking like that. if i'd gotten replies i'd still be sitting here troubleshooting droidmote, the bs controller program (at least for me it is being) i played portal 2 for about an hour after i discovered splashtop controller support and it worked flawlessly. maybe going to try minecraft with minecontrol later. bye!
I had picked up two of these for my mother and her boyfriend. He was a bit averse to the idea of a smartphone to begin with. Finally after using it some time he was almost enjoying his new device.
He took an update after I had told him to always accept software updates. After reboot touch was completely unresponsive. He brought the phone to me and sure enough it wouldn't work at all. Luckily I happen to have an OTG cable and plugged in a mouse to input the passcode. After the app upgrade section completed touch functionality was restored. Crisis averted.
If you happen to run into this, I hope you have a cable and mouse available. If you have a bluetooth mouse laying around it is probably a wise decision to pair it just in case. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, though.
