Google Nexus 9 control problem

Thanks for your response (I did reply but didn't see my reply posted)

I have looked at the thread you suggested and all the following files are currently on my Google Nexus 9:

\data\system\devices\idc\LANmote.idc
\data\system\devices\idc\LANmoteMT.idc
\data\system\devices\keychars\LANmote.kcm
\data\system\devices\keylayout\LANmote.kl

I don't see anything else in the thread that looked applicable to me.

I am not sure if this is the proper log info that you need but here goes

Thanks for your help

Well, I don't see anything that looks abnormal in the log you provided. I am still inclined to think this problem is related to Android 5.x. I don't have any Android 5.x devices, so I can't test/reproduce this for the time being.

In any case, this is the first report that LANmote is not working correctly on Android 5.x. We will try to fix it when we have the chance to reproduce this on our devices. Thanks for the report.

After some discussion with another customer using Android 5.x, he came up with this solution that works for his device.

Quote from Robin
"I found out that the postfix WAKE command would prevent the kl file from loading so I simply removed all the postfix WAKE commands from the original LANmote.kl files and now it loads and most everything works! Only thing that does not work is ability to send text as a whole word which is not a big deal."

Additional info from Robin
"There is one other critical thing I forgot to mention! I have to start Droidmote once after each reboot or LANmote give a uinput error. I forgot about this because I simply had Droidmote set to autostart."

Did you see my later post that says Robin also start Droidmote server at every reboot to make it work? If you don't mind your device having input problems when using IME directly, you can try to replace the generic.kl with lanmote.kl too. Make sure you have a backup of your generic.kl first, so you can restore it if required.
