While you can do a lot of things on your smartphone that were once only done on a computer, having a laptop is still necessary and critical for many tasks. Often times, the two devices work very well together.
We recently covered Google's Chrome Remote Desktop, an app that allows you to access and control your computer directly from your smartphone or tablet from anywhere. Using my iPhone, I was able to mirror the image of my Windows computer and remotely access it.
But if you're looking for a way to use your smartphone and computer side by side, I present to you Remote Mouse from developer Yang Tian Jiao. This app quickly turns your Android, iOS, or Windows Phone device into a wireless mouse to use on your Mac or Windows computer.

Step 1: Install Remote Mouse on Your Computer

On your Windows or Mac, download the appropriate version of Remote Mouse below. I'll be doing the tutorial on a Mac running Yosemite (10.10.1).
When the app has finished installing, select "OK," which will create an application icon up in your menu bar where you can toggle auto start and configure other settings.

Step 2: Install Remote Mouse on Your Phone

On the mobile device side of things, you'll need to download Remote Mouse for either Android, iOS, or Windows Phone below. Before opening the app, make sure that both your mobile device and desktop are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 3: Use Your Phone as a Mouse

Make sure Remote Mouse is enabled on your computer, then open up the app on your mobile device and it will begin searching for your computer, which should only take a few seconds.
Once it connects, you can begin using it as a mouse. Move your finger across the screen to move the cursor. Tap with one finger to left-click, with two fingers to right-click, and pinch to zoom in.
Note that if you have other people on your network, they can gain access to your computer by downloading the app, so make sure you're in a trusted environment.

Step 4: Use Your Phone to Power Down, Restart, & Control Music

On your mobile device, use the computer icon at the top (second from the left) to power off and restart your computer, as well as put it to sleep and log out of your profile.
The play icon will allow you to control music in iTunes, Keynote, Hulu, and Front Row on Mac, and iTunes, PowerPoint, Windows Media Player, and Windows Photo Viewer on Windows. However, this is a paid feature, so you'll need to make an in-app purchase of $1.99 to use it.

Step 5: Use Your Phone as a Keyboard & Open Apps

You can view the apps on your computer's dock from the window icon, where you can open an app by tapping on it; as of now there's no way to close them.
Finally there's the keyboard icon, where you can type into any text field on your computer using the keyboard on your phone. Using the "return" key on it works the same as hitting "Enter/Return" on your computer.

Other Mouse Settings & More Pro Features

Access your settings by tapping on the four-dash menu icon, where you can control tracking and scrolling speeds as well as toggle volume controls, secondary clicks, zoom, sound effects, and change the trackpad background.
In "Panels," you can view some of the free features as well as paid ones: Spotify Remote, Image Transfer, and Remove Ads are a few that cost money.
If you have Touch ID enabled on your device, be careful, because it's very easy to tap on "GET" button and purchase something simply by pressing down on your iPhone's Home button.
To make matters worse, you can't even see how much money you would drop on one of the paid features; the only way to view prices is by going to the App Store page and scrolling down (most of them are $1.99).
Overall, even without the in-app purchases, the app worked great with my Mac. The setup took just a few seconds and I was also impressed with the touch response and the ability to perform functions such as shutdown, restart, and sleep.

Wakati ligi kuu ya Tanzania Bara ikibakisha wiki moja kuanza kwa msimu wake mpya. Aboodmsuni Network kwa kutambua kuwa wasomeja wengi wa Blog zao ni wapenzi wa ligi hiyo, imeendeleza utamaduni wake wa kuboresha kipengele chake cha SIB Dakika 90 kinachopatikana ndani ya blog ya Sports In Bongo.

Maboresho ya mwaka huu ni ya kumuwezesha mfuatiliaji wa soka la bongo kuendelea kupata matokeo ya mechi mbalimbali kupitia simu yake katika bidhaa mpya ya Aboodmsuni Network inayo kwenda kwa jina la SIB-90.

SIB-90 ni application ya simu ambayo itamuwezesha mtumiaji kupata mambo yote yaliyokuwa yanaendelea katika kipengele cha SIB Dakika 90 kilichopo katika blog ya Sports In Bongo.

Application ya SIB 90 itakuwezesha kufutailia michezo matokeo ya mechi zinazo husisha timu za Tanzania moja kwa moja (livescore) kuangalia mtokeo ya mechi zilizopita, ratiba, msimamo wa ligi kuu ya vodacom na msimamo wa wafungaji bora.

SIB 90 kwa sasa haitopatikana katika google play store badala yake inapatikana katika  APTOIDE.

Na vile vile inapatika katika google drive kupitia link hii: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-TC45mUrSckeVgwRUZlbVM3N1k/view 

Uwepo wa SIB 90 si kigezo cha usitishwaji wa kipengele cha SIB Dakika 90, bali vyote vitaendelea kufanya kazi kwa pamoja.

I put 1000 just to be on the safe side.) then select your destination path for the .APK file - you can reuse the keystore for every app you create for android.
75./ you now have a working .apk file! just copy the .apk file to your phone and run it from your phone!, if there are errors then you have either gone wrong somewhere in this list, or there is an error with your AGK code
