I've flashed Boeffla kernel on my Oneplus 2 and this app works as good as I can hope. The only hindrance I've come across so far is if I detach the wire end attached to my phone before closing the app and unplugging the other end, my phone reboots or hangs and needs to be rebooted. Considering my phone isn't even on the list of supported devices (yet), I'm happy with giving this 4 stars

Works perfect. Don't blame the app if you fail to find a Kernel. The keyboard, I cant seem to make it work but mouse/trackpad works perfect!
