This installation direction is for people who are using Andromium OS with Chromecast and bluetooth keyboard and mouse. 1) Install Andromium OS from Playstore. 2) Install Null Keyboard from Playstore. (Optional, but highly recommended) 2a) Follow Null Keyboard setup instruction, to fully setup null keyboard 3) Pair Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse with your Phone. 4) Restart your Phone. 5) Wait until the phone is fully restarted, and Andromium OS icon is show on the top notification bar 6) Double check that both keyboard and mouse is detected 7) Plug in the power cable to the phone (to ensure the phone is charging) 8) Turn on the TV/Monitor, make sure that Chromecast (or miracast) Dongle is running and connected. 9) Go into the Chromecast app (or using the notification settings on Nexus devices) to mirror the phone display to external TV. 10) At this point, Andromium Desktop should automatically launch. Switching keyboards: (Optional: every time you launch or exist Andromium OS) 1) Click on the keyboard icon on the lower right corner (should the first icon on the lower right corner) 2) Switch to Null keyboard (when starting Andromium OS) 2a) Switch back to regular keyboard (when ready to exist Andromium OS) You should be ready to go. Optional App to turn off or dim phone's display ( need root access) 1) Install Screen Standby app from Playstore. 2) Setup the app so that when screen mirroring is enable, the screen is turn off. (this is helpful to make sure phone battery is charging faster, and reduce the chance of burn-in for Samsung-AMOLED phones)

Hi Admin, The question is, will it work if I do not switch to null keyboard or is it required for the system to work? Regards

Regards Null Keyboard is an optional requirement, you can still use Andromium OS without it.

Just registered to show my support for this project and for Wireless display casting technologies. I personally would like to see the Andromium project to work with my Nexus 5. I have published a few apps of my own onto Google play, I may consider adding support for the Andromium project into all of them. If all goes well, it may be nice to see device OEM's working with you to integrate this into their next gen devices!. Good luck with the project guys!.

Will it only pair if it sees keyboard and mouse? At the moment it says its running but won't see it on Chromecast.
I cannot test with keyboard and mouse since I didn't knew nexus 4 wasn't OTG ready and I don't have Bluetooth devices yet.
Thanks.
