any chance of getting this implemented and pushed via a packaged cydia update?
this is THE killer feature for me!

Second that, Quite interested in this development but don't as of yet have the
technical knowledge of objective c to contribute.

Hey guys. I made a build that has rotation and keyboard support. You can get
it from this cydia repository:
http://cydia.myrepospace.com/thenorth/
One thing to note I had some trouble getting iSynergyClient to run correctly in
the background on ios 6.1.1 at first. What fixed it for me was to delete
/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist and reboot to
rebuild the installed app cache.
Anyways, hope this helps those that aren't able to build a package on their own.

Thank you so much for this, I can confirm it works on my 6.1.1 iPad2 and iPhone
3gs. Did you end up using my patches? what was the key to getting it to run in
the background besides removing the cache (thats where i was hung up)?
The Command+h option does not seem to work fyi, i'll dig in if it turns out its
in my patches, or if you give your source.

+1 for appreciation. So far, this is working great for me. Thanks for helping
those of us not skilled in this area!

Is there a point I wonder if the developer will update the copy that's
already in Cydia. Forgive me but I'm a little hesitant to install code
from a total stranger's source.

If you know the original developer, maybe you can ask him for the rest of us.
They are both strangers to me.

I got an update in cydia from North for this yesterday and it hasn't worked
right since, North, can we revert to the previous version? get and update? or
some source and i'll do my best to patch it up and get a new build?

Hi guys. I'm the one who built this package.
@supersai yes I used your patches, although I reworked the rotation support to
use a small cydia tweak I wrote, because otherwise rotation events were only
received when the synergyclient app was the frontmost (currently running) app.
As for getting it to run in the background, the main thing was making sure the
app is installed as a system app (in /Applications) instead of in the app
sandbox. Otherwise the BackgroundApplication class's way of backgrounding
isn't recognized.
I agree that this would all be better if it were integrated into the source
hosted here, I was just trying to help the people that couldn't compile/patch
on their own. :) I know that Matthias is quite busy at the moment, but at
some point I'll send him the source I'm using and see if he'd like to use the
updates.
Also, I'll take a look at the latest update I added to Cydia. I've slowly been
fixing small bugs I've noticed.
Regards,
North

Thanks North,
Good to know, I've been running from xcode (im a professional dev but clueless
on jailbroken apps) so that must have been my problem. I'm working on getting
theos on my device now. If I can help out, let me know.

@North I used your 'compiled' deb (because I dont know how to compile one :P),
anyway the client (iSynergyClient) disconnects after couple clicks. Also when I
click it hangs for a second or something. If you press home it often
disconnects too. Also Command + H doesn't work (well I use Windows so I tried
alt and ctrl, anyway it doesnt work.) I tell you this not to criticize you, but
to tell you what doesn't work yet. I really like to see a stable version of
this, it would be awesome!
Maybe I can help, well I don't know Obj-C, but I know C/C++/C# soo I dont know.
But I really like to see a stable version.
(When it works for a while it works great!)
Some information:
OS: Windows 8 64-Bit
iOS: 6.1 JB (Evasi0n Unthethered)
Regards, let me know when you've updated it! (Or the original author)

@joe Thanks for the info. Saiyen and I are sharing code now and trying to work
through some of these issues. I'll take a look at the issues.
One thing that I've found, is that you can't scroll using the mouse within the
iSynergyClient window, I think maybe related to a threading issue. Some
information that might be helpful for us to find the issue.
1) Can you connect and then, while leaving the iSynergyClient app in the
foreground, move the mouse around (without clicking) with no
freezes/disconnects.
2) If you make it past #1, try pressing the home button and see if you can move
the mouse around on the home screen (springboard). If it freezes right away
here, you may be running into an issue I noticed in iOS 6.1, which could be
fixed by deleting:
/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist and reboot the
iOS device.
Also, which iOS device/version are you running on?
Original comment by north.ov...@gmail.com

1) Well I get often lagg spikes when I speed up. When I use it very slowly it
works.
2) Yes it works, but again quite unstable, if I move it slowly I'm even able to
swipe (NotificationCenter, or different page) when I opened a app it crashes.
Switching between laptop, iPhone screen crashes as well. It only succeed couple
times, to often and the iPhone disconnects.
Also a disadvantage, the mouse movements are logged or something, what I mean
with that is when you have a lagg spike the mouse freezes, but the movements
you made will continue when the mouse is unfrozen.
I made it once to Whatsapp and typed a message, after minute or so the iPhone
disconnects.
iPhone 3GS, iOS6.1 Jailbroken (evasi0n untethered)

I didn't mean it was 100% fixed! I mean when you press home at first it crashes
then I removed that file and rebooted and then I have the bugs of #16. I didn't
explain well, I hope you understand it now, post #16 was after I had removed
the file. So the program is not stable yet.

I'm on an iOS5.1.1 iPad2WiFi, and the version in the deb linked crashes on

get access to a Mac upon which to build them myself; meanwhile, suggestions?

Hi thanks for the update on this tweak. I have tried on both iPhone 4 (4.3.3)
and iPad 3 the older vsion (5.1.1), in both cases they jump back to springboard
at startup, meaning it never get into the app. I have also tried deleting the
plist file and reboot but still no luck. What else can I do to get this working?
Once again thank you very much for applying this change. (unfortunately I am
not a programmer)

Sorry if this wasn't clear, the project has an iOS deployment target of 6.1,
but off the top of my head i cant think of a reason why we couldn't deploy to
an earlier version. i do not have devices to test those versions but here is a
deb for 5.0, let me know if it works for you.

Hi supersaiyanrusty,
I tried the iPhone (4.3.3) still crash but iPad (5.1.1) doesn't. So this looks
positive. Tomorrow I will try to connect it to the server and let you know the
result. Many thanks!!!!!

The build that was uploaded after my comment. (in post #23) works beautifully
on my iPhone 4S. iOS 5.0.1
My only issue I've noticed is if you have the local host name typed in and then
scroll down it wipes what ever you changed it to, and puts it to the previous
entire. So if I originally had something "HTPC.local" and then changed it to
something like "My-iMac.local" when you scroll down to connect. It loses the
hostname. Subsequently not being able to connect.
My work around (oddly enough.) was to scroll down slowly to the point where the
host name and the connect button are both visible on screen. Then it worked
fine.

Yep confirmed working on iPad 3 (5.1.1), keyboard, arrow keys, mouse all
working ok (of course no Ctrl-C type stuff, but it's already GREAT!)
One thing I found a bit strange is that every now and then the cursor appears
jittery, but this may be due to connecting the PC and iPad through iPhone
hotspot...
As for iPhone 4 (4.3.3), nope doesn't work, but I expected it as the deb files
only support iOS 6 and 5 respectively.
Thanks for getting this working!

The second uploaded deb should work for iOS 5+ so no need for a seperate deb
for 6.
The original developer of iSynergy was Mathias Ringwald, the owner of this
Google Code site. I added orientation and keyboard support, and North got the
application running in the background and updated for iOS 6.0.

This has been an amazing little utility for me. Leaving my iPhone on the dock
and have remote access to the phone with out the use of VNC, or something of
that sort. Its really cool. I don't understand why this hasn't picked up
traction in the community.

I just set this up on iOS 7 and the springboard crashes as soon as my mouse
enters the ipad. I have this working fine with my windows pc to my macbook
screen but I can't add a third screen being my iPad.
Any updates for iOS 7?

I have just tried this out on iOS7. It works ok, but on my iPad mini and iPad
Air, when I rotate to landscape, the mouse pointer only goes about 2/3rds of
the way across the screen. Any ideas about what is happening?

Well, on my iPad mini, it seems that the pointer is covering the whole screen
so I am not sure why ...

Haven't touched this since iOS 6 (no ios7 device), but I bet it's not
getting the rotation event.
Try rotating back and forth or make the initial connection in the
orientation you need.

Supersaiyan, North, can I get the latest patches / source that you've got? I
want to get delete, enter, arrow keys, etc. working. I could grab the patch
here and the patch for orientation in the other issue but I know you've both
made subsequent improvements and my iOS knowledge is minimal. Can you help a
fellow programmer out? Thanks.
