How do I know I won't get banned with this app?
With Mantis (and any other keymappers which use Universal Touch Mapping), it's nearly impossible for an App/Game to detect whether Touch Mapping is being executed.
Why?
- Because although Overlays can be detected, the Overlay running apps' identity cannot be. Hence it'd be harsh for a game to ban their user for just this as there are plenty of legit Overlay use cases.
- Because the Touch Mapping is just Emulated Touch Injection and no different to actual touches. Again making it undetectable.
- USB Debugging detecting is easy but can be enabled on the device for multiple use cases. Again not at all conclusive enough.
And Companies do not ban users unless they are 99% sure about the unwanted activities. Banning even a single account wrongly leads to massive PR issues.

I need some help. I was able to setup the app but mantisBuddy is connected but when i unplug the cable it disconnects the mantisbuddy. How can i fix this. Thanks for your help.

Sadly it only supports gamepads at the moment.. Hopefully they'll add keyboard and mouse support in the future 😎👍

[@websiter]

Many thanks for the video. After watching this i gave it a try and it awesome. One major issue for me though is that if I, for any reason , have to click on screen then going back to the controller, it takes a few clicks to react. The other issue is that i don't get the virtual keyboard when Mantis is running. Does anyone have the same issues or got around them?

[@AndroidAddicts]

I can't say I've experienced the same issue about it not reacting. With regards to the virtual keyboard though - you need to change the input method to get the keyboard back up. So if you need to enter text in your game then click the text box and then press the keyboard icon (bottom right on a Samsung) to select your input method - select your Gboard/Swiftkey/Samsung Keyboard from the list, type what you need and then change the input method back to Mantis afterwards

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, any idea why it even requires such an activation to begin with? Why couldn't it just install/download everything from the app itself? Seems a bit suspicious. Edit: also, any idea what it's pushing to the device? what that does?

[@AndroidAddicts]

It's basically just activating the service which will press on the screen for you. It means it's undetectable by the game so you can't get banned from using it. I'm not an Android developer but I believe it's the only way you can activate this type of service on your phone without having root. The way other keymappers work (that come with the iPega or Gamesir for example) is different and they can be detected by the game
