Best Windows Mobile Universal Remoteware today?

Hi All,
Has anyone tried out all the major vendors still around?
I don't want to fork out for all of them...
About to try the package that comes with the CF IR booster called 'ultramote'.
However I believe there's others which are prolly better...
If I upgrade to the latest rom (6.5.x?) will they still work?
I also have something "roughly" like this visualised... (see attached .txt)
I have an old Axim X50v which android is being ported to atm...
But progress is slow & ultimately limited, so I may have to find a better supported device soon.
Any thoughts/ideas/advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Jed

Come on... Any thoughts on this anyone?
I'd be really interested in hearing opinions!
Cheers

UR title sucks. What's UR? User remote, or something like that? I don't really understand the first post, and am not in the mood to download the text file. I may not be alone.

Lol, what the hell is this I'm baffled as too what the hell this thread is about

I'm glad I'm not alone, lol.

Being senior members, are one of you able to change the title to:
Best Window Mobile Universal Remote software today?
And now that you better understand what I was laying out...
Any thoughts/opinions?
Thanks

Guys, can anyone help me out here?
All the best,
Jed

Ohh i get it you want a remote for pda. Gotcha ... IR is not included with HTC devices after the titan II.

Um, no...
If you look at my "rough" diagram (attached) ...
I'm hoping to devise a device that acts a central controller for consumer electronics & home automation.
So far the most promising solution I've found is this...
http://www.openremote.org/display/orb/Boss+Overview
You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low power/profile like it would be ideal.
I was thinking of integrating the entire thing into my existing HTPC/PVR but I'm not sure yet, it might be best to have dedicated machine.
To run this software it's critical one has JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured properly.
I'd in turn probably run this software on top of Ubuntu or LinuxMCE.
This controller would be able to send/receive via;
Internet, Wifi, Ethernet, IR, X10, some proprietary RF, & numerous other HA/CE related protocols.
A critical part of this system is a hand-held (x50v) that interfaces nicely with the controller.
This hand-held would ideally also have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used mostly.
However...
In the short term I want to use my hand-held (x50v) as the 'central controller' for various devices using its IR.
Hence the basis for my original post....
I'm interested in other peoples ideas, have you tried something similar?
Have you played with a platform that's better (in your opinion) than openremote?
Or perhaps you know of a better hware/sware combo for the hand-held?
Cheers,
Jed

Well I've done some investigations and Linux/android support is just too limited and prolly will remain that way to bother with Linux on the x50v.
So it'll have to be x50v + WM + app <---> HA controller device <---> end devices
Longer term I'll have to get something like the nokia n900 (maemo based) or at least something with good potential for Linux support.

So it'd be cool to get a few more thoughts on this from people doing similar stuff.
I realise that's probably not a large cross-section of people though, LOL

Jus gunna let this thread rest soon, delete from my readerlist, & move on.
Before that, in depth thoughts from interested parties would be appreciated.

[Q] X10 multitouch without rooting?

Hi, i have this user who claimed to (might be the first in the world as i speak) have enabled X10 multitouch without rooting his device.
As i try to reason with him that he is wrong and might be getting the wrong information, he speaks even bolder and louder (even to a point of doubting the wonderful guys here at XDA of their hardwork?)
He was trying to sell his used X10 on a local forum.
The link is here:
lowyat.net/topic/1731902
Below are quoted from him
Most important things that i never HACK or ROOT my X10i for this multitouch input ( Believe me i have my own legal way that not break the law )

Sure it dont make sense for you because you think only XDA Developers can do it only not even Sony Ericsson Company can do it with out rooting and flashing the phone but do you use your big brains to think Sony Ericsson Updates over their own Firmwares and Please Open Your Big 2 Balls of eyes Japan Have its own multitouch update by Sony Ericsson so is that proving it root or flashing the phone ?
So think before you say anything in Lowyat Forum Sony Ericsson have its own people to make those updates , XDA Developers is based in roothing and flashing phone and i have my own way to do it. Anything possible to happen in this earth only you are the one who dont understand and keep saying XDA Developers can do it with rooting and flashing the phone.
My last word is if you so believe on XDA Developers why don`t you do their follower dont believe in other people only believe in XDA Developers. Example there was a people coming to tell you there is a fire on top of your hse and you dont believe and sitting there stupidly waiting for those so called XDA Developers come to save your life.

So can anyone confirm what he said is true/false?
because i also own a X10 and i have yet to root mine to get multitouch.
Thanks for reading.

Epic 4G video/audio out to RCA or USB for NAV in car? 2008 or 2009 G35/G37

Can someone please post a link for where I can buy a cable that will allow me run run video/audio out from my Epic 4G to my current 08 G35 TV screen via RCA?
When my lease runs out on the G35, the new G37 replaces the RCA video/audio in with USB. Can someone post a like for where I can buy a cable for sending video/audio from my Epic to the USB in of the G37?
Thank you.

Did you try the search button or the wiki? Or did you expect someone else to do that work for you? While we're on the subject, if you have the money to piss away on a G37, you have money to pay someone who knows what they're doing to set it up for you.
HAD you done any reading (rather than expecting us nerds to work for you for free) you'd see video is not happening (at least not yet, and possibly never). Audio is certainly possible, and VERY EASY, but if you can't figure that out you have no business trying to get wired into a car stereo (much less in a LEASED car).

epic. youd think after the 35 comparison thread between the evo shift and the epic this fine op created, this wouldve come up. guess you made the wrong choice tc!
edit. since hes duplicating this thread in the evo shift thread, im going to assume he doesnt own either of these phones or a g35. we'll see i guess when he posts pics.

I searched "RCA" and found nothing.
I own G2 and will be trading it in for a Shift or a Epic after CTIA.
I own a 2008 G35x and will be trading in for 2011 G37x.
FYI: My company ended up making the entire division take Blackberries.

Short answer: no.

Has anyone tried microUSB to TV/Monitor USB port for video and audio?
What happened?
Thanks.

After all day on the phone with Samsung, video and audio out to an external monitor for dual display is not possible with the Samsung Epic.
Shame on you, Samsung.

My G is a taxi cab for during the week and for ski trips on the weekend.
My C6 and a 1k bike is for having fun.
I'm not one of the dillusional fast and furious that thinks any Infiniti is a sports car......or anything running slower than 10's is quick.
The only thing fast out of asia is a 1000+cc bike and a HIGHLY modified GTR/Supra, but I digress.
The fact that the Epic won't do AV out for dual display is still pathetic.

ppl, we gotta keep pushing on this. For the same reasons others have to get this working. Especially with netflix now working, to have the tvout option would be the cherry on top. Like many, its not to connect to my house tv but for my car tv!!!!! Big thanks and respect to the all devs out there.

Isimple makes some nice audio in devices. I just put one in my 3g acura TL to get an aux port on my XM button.

I had to go through a ton of crap to get audio on my g35 06 working, had to intall a switch in the dash to enable sat connection since there wasn't a simple jack built in and bluetooth didn't work. Was amazed. So annoying and basic and it didn't have it.

I have an 07 g35x. The best solution to streaming audio from Epic is a BT gateway.... there is no way to display video because Epic´s video out is not enabled.

RCA video

I see you are a senior member. Are you equally rude to everyone like you were to the member who enquired about the RCAcable?
I've been looking for an answer too, and yes, I have exhausted my search efforts or I wouldn't be here looking for an answer either. If you don't have an answer, do us all a favor and keep your worthless comments to yourself. I'm surprised the moderator tolerates your behavior.

I'm sorry you took it that way. My comment was not personally directed at anyone. I guess I should have said there's no need for anyone to be a ****. Especially when it is unprovoked, as was the case with the other poster. My point was, 2 years or not, rudeness is not acceptable.

Do wapps for the Smartwatch 1 work on the Smartwatch 2?

As the title says...do wapps meant for tthe MN2 work on the new Smartwatch 2?
I realise most of the current MN2 wapps will be modified in time to work on the newer watch but will the MN2 versions of wapps work at all on the new watch in the meantime.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm interested in this also, as according to this post on Sony:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...upport-to-your-original-smartwatch-extension/
They should work without modification.

smw2 apps
Hi there this is not answer but might help I have downloaded a few app and just seems like some work and some don't think developers should state whether it does work or not on smw2

Not as easy as it sounds. Unless Sony has released a smw2 emulator with the SDK, if a developer doesn't own the new watch, there is no way for them to check compatibility.

SW2 update soon

There is hope for an update REAL SOON NOW:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/10...-series-kick-off-best-everyday-life-apps-more

Yes - I wonder when this will begin to roll out... Hopefully there's some good improvements but I'm happy with my SW2 as it is anyway

Updates are welcome ... i want regular updates and would be even happier if they listen to the community with regards to more watch faces etc
I'll post as soon as i notice an update.
My Current versions are:-
1.0.B.1.6/1.0.A.1.3

all i see in that post is performance improvement, now expecting any new watch faces though

Do I need to do anything special in order to connect the SW2 to computer? my pc doesn't recognize the USB....Is this through Sony PC Companion

i think that blog post was for the 1.0.B.1.6 update, which started rolling out on the 21st....

i've been trying for weeks to get Sony's attention
last response through Facebook:
"I'll have our higher level of support touch base with them so that they can get a feedback directly. They'll get in touch with you first thing on Monday. Thanks! -Bianca"
will post here whatever i hear on monday, but i'm not expecting much...

It looks like that project and alternative firmwares are currently meant only for the old Smartwatch 1.
Hopefully we'll see a similar development for the SW2.

Update?
Hey Guys,
Someone got further news to an Update for the SW2.
I realy miss features like:
knock to wake
more watchfaces
music widget
personal icon sort
Grz

i got this reply today, about the missing watch face that's on the box
(from Sony Webcare in the Netherlands)
"we expect this functionality soon in the next update, when this update will be rolled out i dare not say"
and in another message:
"i've saw the video, it seems only test samples had that watch face. i do expect this to be made available soon though"
i'll continue stalking them, adding one watch face doesn't solve the other issues
edit: also sent Sony webcare nl a tweet, the mail i sent though their support website never got answered either, but it was registered with a request number, maybe that will help as well

Hello... any update for this thread?
Sent from my LT25i using Forum Runner

how do I update?

still no news, getting no info from Sony, really disappointed
