remote control... - HTC Tornado

does anybody know if there is a software (for smartphones running wm6) that would allow the phone to act as a universal remote?
something like nevo?

re:
tried a lot of programs that would make your pocket pc like a universal remote but they don't work.. and you have to get a specific code for the model of the TV or AIrcon etc...

ok. not quite universal then. is there something that has like a database of devices? just like nevo does?

the IR driver of omap wm smartphones is poor, so the TV IR does not 'see' the IR beams...
however, the IR dirver from iphone rom is better (this driver can be included in other ROMS, right now I have it on my custom WM6 rom), the TV ir can feel those beams, but there is no software avaiable unfurtoantely..
all the remote control software are for Samsung/intel based smartphone
if someone who knows more about TV ir/ir beams can make such a program for OMAP based smartphones..

try vito remote control it works in wm6

last time i've tried my phona hung.. maybe that's because is for intel/samsung based smartphones

i did try vito but it sucks! anything else? vito has no remote control database.

it sucked, but did it work? i think i will try.
so its really just the drivers that effect the IR? can this be modified in the registry? or is there a cab we can install from the iphone rom? is there anyway we can modify it right now? im using wm6.

Samsung Processors=>accept consumer and IrDa,
TiOmap Processors only IrDa..i still waiting for jears for an solution

here are the IR *.dll form iphone rom
don't know if it work just by replacing the *.dll.. give a try

Hmmm...my Phone hangs in IR Learning-Mode with your .dll...it response..and crash.Maybe a Hardcore-Coder can "catch" the IR-Signal,and "pass" it to an "Interpreter-Tool".But it sounds like to grab deep into the System...
@DSF;
May you provide a Tornado Rom Kitchen? For now,my phone crash "after" the first Bootscren, but in the second Image Screen it freeze again...one step more,sure,but not enought!!

!!!NEW MESSAGE!!!
It seems,NoviiRemoteDeluxe 4.x works with Omap850...but it is for PPC,

hmm, nice :d. have you tried it? use SPhelper for controling or other cursor emulator app..

....and the second app that will work with TiOmap 720,750 and 850...for PPC,too.Ive dumped the files and copy them to my phone, with no response...how sad!!!
Here a Link

which dll files were u using? your original ones or the ones from the iphone rom?

dll
both...first with the Iphone dll,then the original. First my phone hangs (IPhone dll),then it gives no response(original dll).Need more improvement...

sounds like to me Omap processors just wont work. i mean all of the companies that put their money into making tv remote apps for smartphone and pocket pc, and none of them have been able to get Omap working.
besides, i have this box that recieves infrared signals and flashes a red light when it recieves a signal, and when i point my phone at it i have to have it no further than 1 1/2 inches away for it to even see the infrared. i cant see how we can get it to work at a reasonable distance if it's already so close range.

dang that sucks!

Any help for this?? is realy important put this drivers in the wm6

TV Remote control for XDA/MDA II. (that works is here)

Novii.tv Claims that there software works on XDA II (compatibility chart) enjoy guys! I have to try it in a few minutes... They also have a hardware called "Blaster" (SD card type), not sure if it is works on XDA/MDA II... But hey we could try this thing... links below...
Products:
http://www.novii.tv/products/
They also have a forum here, which someone claims it works on his XDA II.... links below...
Forum:
http://www.novii.tv/up/forum/viewtopic.php?t=551
The trial version work with my MDA II, I have Sony TV and I used pre-program (Sony1) and it works (distance is around 4-5 feet only).
I think that the SD card hardware(Blaster) will be great add on if it works on PPC. They will going to have Blaster 2 (works on both PPC and Palm OS) this year. I think i'd like to wait for this toy...
Anyone tried this one yet (software)? Seems this product been out there for quite sometime and they trying to perfect it.
Nice, but $25!!
Maybe at $15....
Surur
i tried the trial and it works fine 10 feet at least but i would like to see a button edit feature as well as a button add feature like nevo remote control on the ipaq 3970
Worked for me too, but certainly not 10 feet..shame too cos it would be perfect if it did work from that distance.
Is there any way - not including physically opening the unit - that you can boost the power of the signal without getting a booster SD card?

for people who made the trail software work i'd like to ask which com port they choose because no matter which one i choose i get
Internal IR driver error 303
please write to [email protected]
and it being trailware then i dont really think i'll bother contacting the company
Settings > Connections > Beam > Check "Receive All Incoming Beams".
Then it will work.
duh forgot about it being turned off since i got my bluetooth dongle i havent been using the ir dongle which i guess kinda makes it a bit absolute
well it works now thanks

Novii Remote on WM6 not working.

hello,
I have a cing 8125 and i Used to use novii remote with my old wm5 stock rom.
I recently upgraded to wm6 on nbd 8.0 and now novii says my irda connection is not supported right on startup, and the closes.
does anyone know if novii is workable on wm6. I know the site doesnt say it is but does anyone have some sort of fix to trick the software
thanks all

so up it on here for the rest of us plz. thanx in advance. i also tried that program on my wing & MDA but it didnt work
in my experience, NoviiRemote worked fine on WM6. just make sure beam is turned on, and the program automatically found the correct IR port (i think COM2)
It works very well. I have 5 years old samsung tv, and it wasnt in database. I just creat new one and learn it from remote controler. Thats all. ANd yeah, com 2.
i have wm6 , nbd 8.0.
the iR isn't weak? can i controll my tv from eg. 5 meters?
hey whee can i get that program??? thanks
interesting...I wonder if this could be used in conjunction with a car alarm remote? I think that'd be kinda cool to lock/unlock my car with my phone....link to the program would be appreciated
anyone know where and if it is worth the money??
it really worked (NBD 7.9)
but the iR range is not so big:/
can anyone help me to get it to work? itll open up, give me the error message and close. I cant change any settings... how do I change to com2 in the registry or something>?
it works perfectly for me on NBD 8.0. This is a very primitive approach and might now work, but you could try hard resetting or reflashing NBD8
also, if this makes any difference, install NoviiRemote to your SD card. that's how I have it working.
last thing, make sure that the IR is enabled in the Wireless Manager
well, I did all that excet the install to storage, Ill give that a try

Applications that do not work on Diamond 2

These are a few non-working apps I discovered when trying to customise my TD2 on day one.
1) HTC's gprs monitor refuses to install.
2) Core player exits on installation complaining about a "problem". - NOW FIXED
3) I already mentioned Tomtom6 on another thread.
Anyone found any others?

As I've seen coreplayer showing video on the Diamond2 in one of the reviews I'd say that something has gone wrong during your customisation.
Core player 1.3 work perfectly on my Diamond 2 !!!!
A problem has occurred with player.exe
Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
That's what happens when I run the program. It installs and appears in the program list but just won't run. I can't tell you what version it was either.
Maybe I should try a different version.
After a hard reset and direct install onto the device from a cab file I can now confirm that Coreplayer 1.3 does work very well on the D2. I have amended my original post. Thanks.
CoPilot Live 7 HTC Touch Diamond Edition does not work with TD2 and CoPilot support phone number is useless for any help.

Im guessing that you have the maps on a sd card? all u need is the install cab and copy the maps across and use your licence to activate, should work ok

There is a new updated version of Co-Pilot specifically for the Diamond2, phone technical support on 0871 6412 540 (in the UK) and ask them for the download link, I did and my Co-Pilot is working ok.
If you try and load the D1 version you wont see many of the graphics on the screen, to get round this you can try using a non HTC old version and use the cab file from that, you should be able to find one floating around somewhere. The graphics are still not correct using the old generic cab but its usable.
Thanks for the reply and I did contact them and was given a link to the Diamond 2 program and it works ok.

Can you let me know what that version is? Im running 7.7.0.134 (full version with SD card etc, not Diamond version - which I think is the same but just comes without SD card and CoPilot Central PC app) but thats been the "latest" for nearly a year. Does this "new" version support the 480x800 resolution correctly.
It runs fine, just that the onscreen keys etc appear squashed.
Be grateful if you could let me know.
I just got the latest download v7.8.0.162 from them two days ago and was told by there sales person that the only thing that does not work is the TD2 Zoom Bar.
I have tested the program and it runs very smooth
How does this compare feature-wise to the TomTom mentioned in other threads for the TD2?
Co-Pilot
The version I am running is 7.8.0.162 Data NAVTEQ.EU 07Q3. v7.1.13.1.5, my understanding is that it has a higher screen resolution than the old Diamond 1 version, the menu system is a bit different. I think this version new will also run on the Touch HD.
I was told by Co-Pilot technical support that version 8 is on the horizon and will be out later this year.

In my opinion Co-Pilot is the better choice, for example you can specify the sort of road preferences you would normally drive on for each sort of road and enter the average speed you drive at to create a user profile that is normally quite accurate, there is a better zooming facility on Co P and I usually drive with the screen zoomed out so i can see all the small roads and villages around my route.

Multitouch on HD2 - SOLVED

Looks nice.
Waiting to see how this will be used for various apps..
I might actually start using it for an app idea I have.
Thanks

Apps need to be developed with multi-touch ability. You can't retro-fit it as everything uses default windows methods for detecting touch. To detect multi-touch requires you to detect a second touch in a completely different way, so applications would need a recode in order to do this.
All you can do is add pinch-to-zoom, but only the "system" style, not embedded in the app, like Opera for example.
I read that Windows Mobile 6.6 will bring real multitouch and it will come next month
the multitouch function is a bit confusing. if i use one finger and put the another finger down, the software don't recognise the other finger, only if i put both finger down at once.
i hope it is a software problem not a hardware problem....
Yes, it is just a driver Problem
"just"....

i've heard of that, too. but in order to support real multitouch, i guess the apps have to be coded to do so. that means that apps which don't do multitouch at the moment won't do it with wm 6.6 too.
Supporting Multitouch is the same Problem like MultiCPU: Apps must be coded for it.
But I think it will get more easily hacking in Multitouch in several apps if wm6.6 supports it natively

Dude, fantastic work with the DLL! But I'm having some problems
I did the reg-fix as specified, but I'm not quite sure about the keyname ("yourapp"). Does this need to be anything special, or is it only the name of the exe that is important?
I suspect that is the problem, since it doesn't register any touches whatsoever
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TouchGL\Pinch\WhiteList\Whatever]
"ProcName"="YouAppProcessName.exe"
that should be logical
I hope you have softreseted your device afterwards? and the ProcessName is right and all other steps are like in the tutorial?!

Yeah, and doublechecked, and softreset again....
I noticed though that in your readme.txt, you write
myMultiTouch.CatchWndProc(this);
Although in the version I downloaded (today from your site) accepts only
myMultiTouch.CatchWndProc(Form, PositionFixX, PositionFixY);
I've basically copy/pasted your example, and try adding breakpoints, or populating labels, but nothing happens...
The fixes can be 0 for testing, they should be optional :/
You use the HD2?
Post all you code you have written for it please and continue in that thread please:

[REQUEST] bt-info for android

Oh man, i had fun with this little piece of software in school with my old sony erricsson c510. my friend and me used to link our phones, hide it behind the board and activate the music with the other one xD. the teacher didnt knew what was goin on ^^
anyways, bt-info was a fun program and i searched the web for an android version of this. i alao tried to convert the jar file into an apk file. it worked but the software was incompatible. can anyone make it work on my samsung galaxy s2?
Would be awesome....
lol i remember that app back in the times... but it worked only with a few target phones, I remember always failing against Symbians, working on some LG and SE ( AT standard commands huh?).
Anyway, in my free time I'm playing with some Android scripting and I could sort something like this... you got any request for features ?
As of now I got a "talk server"... just run on the phone, connect to its IP from anywhere else (another phone, iphone, ipad, pc...) type something and the phone will say it you could prank as well with that, but there could be added other cool functions...
Think that could be done via bluetooth too, though haven't tried much the bt libs..
Let me know if that could interest you

It would be awesome if you could it even get to work! it crashes on my phone when i try to connect! i used a jar to apk converter ..... maybe not the best idea
the app is/was great just the way it worked! maybe wifi support... and dissable the code request-thingy when i try to connect to a phone - but i think that would be iligal...
but yeah ... if you can get it to work, you could sell it on the market! or publish it anywere else! im not the only one whos searching for that app working on android!
See, targeting new generation phones with that old bluetooth app wont be of any effect.... will just work on old ones.
Removing the "code thing" you say it's the pairing procedure of bluetooth, the standard authentication feature of bt, actually you can't get around it, and though it would be illegal, it would get you big money if you ever find how to
That app used pseudo-standard AT commands through the bluetooth modem interface of the phone, and that supposedly to issue an action on the phone (like push/pull contacts,sms,calendars, raise volume, set alarm....) but that was not implemented in all phones so most commands failed, but virtually could work with any target as long as it was bt enabled and paired.
TL;DR
Not worth porting bt-info. So, as it must be build from scratch, you can suggest some feature request

would be nice if someone could 'rebuild' that app on android bases... hacking the bluetooth 'password-thingy'™© isnt a big deal! the app worked great without it!
My question: is it POSSIBLE to make that app for android with all the functions that it has? and make it work with android-> symbian and android -> android?
Man I've been looking and wanting this for my phone forever.
Evo 3D in full Affect with WTSB HYDRO SENSE 3.5
Q: is it POSSIBLE to make that app for android with all the functions that it has and make it work with android-> symbian and android -> android?
A: Symbians hardly support AT commands, you can try yourself using old bt.info or any other AT enabled shell to issue a command to a Symbian, I had no luck in the past. Android to android I dont know if it could be done natively (client on one phone, no server in the other) but it surely might be done with an app. To get a 100% compatibility there should be a client or a server installer in BOTH phones, UNLESS you find some AT command that would run on all (hard, as most vendors implement them differently).
I found this lil app that can give you an example, it's called "AT COMMAND TOOL" (google -> "sd.at.c8600"). It says it has presets for Huaweii phones, but that's the only supported. Anyway, looks like you can issue any command, but you have to find out WHICH one works with other phones !!
Google "at command list" and get the idea...
I haven't tested it, but looks similar to what you're looking for.
I remember using
Code:
AT+CNUM
to get the phone number via BT... that could come handy in certain situations
