@forgin: The concept sounds nice, BUT... you may want to mention that the "desktop/computer" server you provide is a Java application and may not be appropriate or even available for all OS and configurations. Perhaps you intend it mostly for W*ndows users?

hmm you are right, i tested on windows and linux and works...may be in mac its not.
Anyway, thats just the server for pc, the App can run as a server on its own for android devices so it sends notifs from your smartphone to your tablet for example.
i will try to test in mac......also the pc program is not quite the best, i am still working on it, i suck in swing/java interface programs xD
Hey Forgin,
really like the idea of this! But it really neeeds a lot of improvments by now. So here are my first impression of ur new app
First the smallest but funniest one of my things to report:
- AnyWhereNotifications declares it self as Hovering Controls xD - on my Gtab in notificationbar is written "click to stop Hovering Controls" (HC never was installed)
- I Don't get sms and Playstore notifications on my Gtab
- Whatsapp works fine and also TitaniumBackup status is shown (e.g. "xx% of Titanium restore is done") only thing that is annoying in this case is that every time the % changes (for TB) ur app takes it as a new notification
- I Don't get any notification on PC, but that could be a firewall conflict, so if u can tell me wich ports and services ur app needs?
- Can we have a Blacklist? cause i get Gnow notifications over ur app, wich is really annoying because i have it on all my devices wich means i get the notifications twice (even the ones i dont wanna see at all like Fu***** Gnow weather)

It would probably run on a Mac that has a recent Java VM installed, but for many OS X users, Java (especially with networking access) is not an option. I suspect that you are aware of other apps that allow notifications to be mirrored from Android to other devices, and your upcoming browser interface may render the Java issue moot.

thx for the help. the desktop then would be for windows and linux users...and for the browser, i am thinking on a own webservice and a webpage where you can check your notifications even offline (only if you wish to save them) or just on live, other possibility is a browswer plugin, but never made one so i am lost in this case xD

hmm i am a little lost with this xD may be open 5000 both up and down and 40500 up and down? both tcp and udp or whatever xD
i will investigate this further..
I'm pretty sure some users with delusions of privacy will balk at the idea of having their "private" notifications bouncing around a mysterious server out there somewhere. Look at what Pushbullet does to mirror notifications using plugins/addons for common browsers. Great for Firefox/Chrome/Safari/WebKit but I have no idea if it's even feasible for evilMSIE. Since you have a *nix box, another approach would be to provide a simple(?) C/C++ public domain source and let people compile it for their favorite distro/OS. Whatever you do, don't let this distract you from Hovering Controls!

Ok solved that problem for me. I have set my Firewall to "interactive mode" so it would ask me every time when a new Programm sends/recives data than i just waitet for the specific request. Now it works so far
but i still don't get sms notifications
I am thinking on stopping this development, as other apps like push bullet greatly do what i intend...so i see no point to re-invent the wheel like this. What do you think? this app needs lot of work to be good enough and i think its better to use the time in Hovering Controls and other projects incoming (the base idea of this project will be used in future ones.)
If anyone interested in continiuing this project, or even work together on this, i can share the source code, in none interested i will open source the code too.
opinions?
It would be interesting if your app is compatible with Android 4.2.2 because Pushbullet notification mirroring only works on devices with 4.3 and above. I can't update my HTC One X any further

i see your point...they could just enable it...i have not found any issue that make them not enabling it on lower android versions....these device just receive a notification or even send them (with the accessibility service they made), i think they will enable it when out of beta.
so, anyway, i see no point, i will focus on a fork of this project and in hovering controls.

!!!If you have Android 2.1 the app now is in the market!!!
Android 2.2 and higher are also still supported
This is not another Auto Task Killer, no.
Thanks for all the help from everyone! We've moved into a lite and full version now on Android 2.2 and 2.3 phones.This is a new program which allows the user to specify alert levels to phone tasks and give you insight into what your phone is really doing. Make a call, ever wonder what apps may be listening? What's going on when you phone is in standby? In creating this, I will say that I've been surprised a few times at what is really going on. I want any and all feedback as well as we are trying to make this into something special. I am the actual developer of this app.
The full version has:
-Common Names and Actual Application Icons
-No Ads
-Access to all App Settings
-Ability to change alert level from List Tasks
-Removed Internet and Location Permissions
And we have a slew of other features planned for only the full version, but we don't want to spill the beans on those quite yet, but they will enhance the tool greatly!
Both versions now have the new UI as well.
Anyone who had the beta should be notified to upgrade to the lite version now.
Download Task Identifier Lite from your phone:
market://search?q=pname:com.task.identifier
Download Task Identifier Full from your phone:
market://search?q=pname:com.task.identifier.full
I've also attached a QR Code to scan for both versions. Or just search for Task Identifier in the market.
I hope you all find this useful and enjoy!!

Hehe, I like how the only comment for the app (5 stars and "awesome" as comment) is currently by a user named 'x2k'. Hmmm.
I've just installed it and it's been less than a minute and I got an alert from an app that no longer needs to sync...So I disabled it (every little bit of non-sync means longer battery life!).
So far it's looking very promising! I'll definitely report back on my experiences!
Okay, first big thing...
Can you please resolve the cryptic app names to their more friendly name variants?
It's hard to read and make out the com.blah designations.
Thanks!
So far it seems like a cool app. I've been using WatchDog for ages to alert me when an app misbehaves.
But I'm confused about this app. When would you want to be using this? Can you give an example?
I'll keep it installed and see how it goes. Thanks.

Thanks for trying. This is more of an app to alert you as to what your phone is doing, ie what loads at a given point in time on your phone.

Thanks. I'm playing around with it and actively trying to make notifications pop up I opened Facebook and Google Reader started, as did Maps. Weird.
Which brings me to a question: how do we know whether the task started was CAUSED by the current app I'm using, or Android just randomly started it?
For example, it's possible Facebook opened Maps in order to try to get my location, but I don't see the connection between Facebook and Google Reader. Which is why I ask if it's random, or the app I'm using is causing other tasks to run.

I've found when you start doing things you see patterns. On my old Eris while I was testing this, every time I made a phone call, ebay would start! Glad it seems to be working for you! Thanks!

You're welcome.
Sounds like a great troubleshooting tool. Nice work!
I'm liking this app more and more. A few more comments and requests.
Comments
* I like the main app window. Large fonts, long-press to get quick-help or short press to go to the item. Nice
* Screen off app start notification, nice!
Requests
1. Possible to get more detail about why or how an app was triggered? Like, was it triggered by a service? another app? etc. And did the triggered app take any actions? Like sending network traffic or queried the GPS and such?
2. The 'Setup Alerts' window is hard to read through, could you maybe add color so all the status 'Green' items have the word 'Green' in green font and so on?
Just added a 5 star rating on Market, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the suggestions. Those are features we truly will consider adding as it will just make the tool even better. Thanks!
There will probably be updates from time to time through the market
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
First of all, thanks for a great app.
I really like the fact that it reports on tasks/processes started while the screen was off!
I have some suggestions though:
1: When I click the icon in the app list to open the menu, it just shows the "Starting monitor" message and nothing else. I have to open an app to get the message in the pull down bar and click on that to start the application it self.
2: On my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 the layout of the application is just a bit to long for a full screen. We are talking about 1 cm or something.
3: I would very much like a log, so that I can check back, what applications started during screen off, and at what time/date.
4: The way the Android memory management works, I guess it's normal for Android to start and application/process to memory by itself from time to time. Is it possible to show this somehow? For what is interesting here is when an application is launching another application or process, and not when Android memory management is putting an application in memory.
Thanks for your great work, I'm looking forward to further updates to the application!
Just saw this on the front page and thought it looked pretty interesting. Installed a few minutes ago, but so far I like it. Not too intrusive with the pop-up.
As Namuna posted though it would be nice to get more detail.
Also to have the actual app name rather than com.xxx.
Really good work.
Installed.
I like the idea that we can see what tasks are really doing in the background. But as noted by some above, the notifications are a bit cryptic at the moment.
After installing and running the app, I started updating some of my other apps in App Market and my phone crashed. This has not happened before and I seems from my layman eyes that too many things might have been running in the background.
When the phone restarted, it too forever for anything to be displayed and the 3 widgets I had on the homescreen refused to load up. Again it seems to me that this app is popping up too many notifications - I have now stopped the app from starting up and running on start up.
I don't know whether this is unique to me or not though. I am running the app on Samsung Galaxy S (international) on stock Froyo with LauncherPro.
Still, I like this app and will use it more. Keep up the great work and many thanks.
Edit : just checked app settings again, and although I explicit unchecked app running on phone startup, the box is checked again. I unchecked the box and pressed save again. Re-entered app settings and the box is checked again. Am I missing something?
This looks very interesting.. So it's installed and ready for testing
Thank you very much for that app, it's awesome. I agree with the recent posters that the name of the app in addition to the com.blah.blubb would be a great help to identify the task. Also I'd like to see a possibility for a logfile.
Keep up the good work!
EDIT: I can hardly read the small, dark font when setting task levels since I use almost the very darkest display settings to save battery. So being able to chose the font color would be great but has absolutely no priority. Again: great app!Using it all day long now and I am surprised what tasks are being started!
An incredible web application that allows to take the control of you mobile phone from Wifi/Internet/Usb connection, simply using your web browser and accessing a website. You will have several apps to access different services on your Android device. The software is under development and this is a beta version, so please send me an email for every bug you found, or if you want other features.
Applications:
- Sms: You can send your sms via web interface, just like from your phone. Autocomplete, mass-messages, and other features.
- Contacts: You can see the contacts present on your phone, adding or deleting phone numbers and emails.
- Call Handler: When your phone starts to ring you will see it on your Web Desktop, and you can decide to answer (With speakerphone or headset of your phone), refuse the call or silence the ringer. You can also call a contact using the apposite icon or a phone number.
- Camera: You can see the camera of your phone (this function now works alson on Internet Explorer)
- Remote View: You can see the screen of your device and eventually take screenshot. Needs root permissions.
- Sensors: You can see the values of the sensors of your phone. You will find a compass that shows the orientation of your phone and a Google Maps showing the position based on Network or GPS.
- Clipboard: You can see and set the clipboard of your phone absolutely in real time.
More features are coming, so please stay tuned and give me five stars for this project, if you like.
Please do not use Internet Explorer 9 because of some javascript issues.

If anyone needs...
I'm going to try and test, thanks!
Very sorry... i'm a new user on xda so i cannot post link until i reach 8 posts .... so thanks for posting ... i'm still doing betatesting but i've other features ready to implement...
Remote view is upside down for me on Dell Streak with StreakDroid. Other than that, it's golden.
yes... on some device frame buffer is rotated of 180 degree... but i've already provided the fix for this on my dev version... i think i will release the update in this week!
Thanks for you reporting!
How do you use this? I've tried connecting to the ip address shown when i run the app.
Is IE needed for remote view to work?
It's all skewed on Firefox 4

I dont think so. I tried everything on Chrome and it works fine. Did you change the setting from 16-bit to 32-bit? If not, do it
Ie9 and FireFox 4 they doesn't work... they have some issues with css but i hope to fix it very soon... i have an update ready far this week
I read on the comments that someone lose connection when the screen locks. This is a setting of the phone in Wi-fi settings. You have to disable from advanced settings. I'm preparing a faq for this .
Thanks to all for your comments.
The double sms on some phones is going to be fixed (already fixed... just wait the update )
Thanks to all for your feedback.
I've already prepared other web app like a web terminal (yeah... entirely written with a my native library... first experiment ) and a file manager that are ready, but before release i wanna just fix some bug , and make the damned camera working -.-'.
If you think other web app can be useful simply tell me ... i will see what i can do...
I'm still working to make the interface compatible with IE9 and Firefox 4... just give me some time...
Update just released!!!
- Double sms sent (rarely) fixed
- Remote View can be rotated now (some phone need this)
- Call a contact with country code prefix will now work
- Still Speed enhancement
- Another Camera fix (i'm doing some test, but i need your feedback, i've no more 3 phone for testing)
- Added Faq
- Minor Bugfixes (as always
Thanks for all your feedback, they are very useful for me.
I've other web apps ready, but first i want to fix all bugs i can find, so please help me

Awesome update. Works like a dream now. I have a feature request though. In remote view, it would be cool to open apps using your mouse. Like for example, you click on Market and the market app opens. And you can scroll through the market and install apps without even having to physically touch your phone. I dont know if it's possible but it sure would be cool
I've already done this... but i've removed because it was too slow... uhm... maybe i can do something with silverlight or java... maybe a java applet...
I forgot to say that both camera and remote view can be used with a driver as a normal Windows Image Acquisition Device... so you can use skype or what you want... you need a driver that you can get here http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/226163-6E45/IPCameraDS.exe, and this is the homepage http://www.webcamxp.com/home.aspx It's free for personal use.
For Camera you have to set http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_PORT>/Services/Camera/GetStream
For Remote View you have to set http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_PORT>/Services/RemoteControl/GetStream
To use this feature you have to disable authentication...
I've relased another update after a day full of work!
- Remote view improvements. Automatic recognition of settings. Now works on all phones.
- Web interface now works with Internet Explorer 9, but is slower and does not support Mjpeg stream (IE doesn't support). Use Chrome if you want full functionally.
- Sms dynamic loading fixed
Contact me for everything!
Can you add a computer notification (ie pop up, sound etc) for the usb connection when you recieve a text or notifications on your phone? Also, answer calls on your phone? Haha just some thoughts.
Hope you make the SMS more streamline. Ajax updates ... display photo ... etc.
Anyway you have intentions to add a File Explorer so we can transfer files into our phone from your web interface?
I'm just working on the File Manager...
Can you explain better what you are saying about sms?
Primarily for dutch UPC customers ( who have a Horizon / Samsung SMT-G7400 mediabox )
Current version: 1.0-alpha
HorizonRemote is currently in alpha state and is still in active development.
The alpha version is build for Android 4.x+ ( min SDK level 14 ) in future version I might add backwards compatibility to 2.x
Source is available at https://github.com/rogro82/HorizonRemote
Requirements:
UPC Horizon media-box ( Samsung SMT-G7400 )
Android 4.x device
Post installation notes:
After installation click on "Settings"
In settings click on "Add controller"
Click on the newly created "Controller" in the list.
Give the controller a name as you want it to be shown and enter the IP-address of the media box ( currently there is no device discovery )
You can now go out of settings and you should see the controller..
Usage:
After selecting a controller you should see the remote controller layout and in the ActionBar ( right top ) it should show a status indicator.
This indicator shows the status of the connection with the mediabox. It might show as disconnected after network-loss or due to inactivity. In case of disconnection you can either click the status icon or just press a key on the remote.
In case you have setup multiple controllers you can easily switch by opening the left drawer by either pressing the statusbar icon or by doing a left edge swipe.
Additional input:
Clicking the "ABC" button on the remote should open an on-screen keyboard ( be aware that the MediaBox only supports limited input characters like A-Z ).
The volume up/down keys are currently hardcoded to send channel up/down commands.
Notice:
* In case of issues please be clear and give as many details as possible.
Was doing my usual "UPC Horizon Android" search and your post just popped up. Very glad to see your project, and hope to be beta testing soon!
Cheers!
Wow, really cool. Was waiting for this for a long time. Hope to be testing soon!
Basically most stuff is working ( buttons, onscreen keyboard etc ) and the biggest thing todo is adding settings.
If I have enough free time I might have an early beta tomorrow and else somewhere in the next few days.
Updated first post with first alpha release.
Be aware that this is an alpha-version and it might contain bugs.
If you come across an issue please be clear and as detailed as possible.
Currently it is build for Android 4.x+, but later versions might receive compatibility to Android 2.x
Thanks, nice work!
Works on my Samsung tab3 10.1 (Android 4.2.2)
After only 10 minutes of testing I didn't encounter any errors.
However, maybe I will stick to my Harmony One, this IR remote controls my HDMI AVR, TV, media player, BR player, Horizon.
Thanks for the effort so far. I'll be giving this build (and future builds) a swing tonight.
This. App. Is. Phenomenal!! And it's absolutely faster than the (new) double sided RC!
You've just created what UPC just can't (or won't?) do for the last year!
Which IP to use??
Hi guys,
Wich IP address did you use in the app?
I used the same address to wich you browse to set up you're network. But unfortunately no response from the box.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks! I'll take a look at it tonight!:good:
K friends of mine who have UPC should no longer give me access to their WIFI network as their recordings might magically disappear :angel:
So people be warned... as you are not able to turn of UPnP on the mediabox ( atleast not that im aware of ) anyone who has access to your WIFI network
is able to remove all your recordings without any form of approval / security.
Source is now available at https://github.com/rogro82/HorizonRemote
I've been using the 1.0 alpha for a week now and I haven't encountered any problems at all.
Only minor 'issue' is that the app doesn't fit my screen entirely (Galaxy SII i9100), the last four buttons (RW, REC, Play/Pause, FW) are only visible after scrolling down. This could be solved by removing the top bar with the controller name and connection status. Perhaps you can highligt the chosen controller in the sidebar and replace the app icon with the connection status of the chosen controller?
Besides the above mentioned I'd say: make it beta or release it already!
Thanks again!
Works like ronseal!
Nice one Rogro82!
All buttons function quicker than the real remote. A sterling job.
I'm guessing you used a packet sniffer, which leads me to the question, do you have an ipad with the 2 UPC apps on there, and do you fancy having a go at replicating one of them?

I've been using the 1.0 alpha for a week now and I haven't encountered any problems at all.
Only minor 'issue' is that the app doesn't fit my screen entirely (Galaxy SII i9100), the last four buttons (RW, REC, Play/Pause, FW) are only visible after scrolling down. This could be solved by removing the top bar with the controller name and connection status. Perhaps you can highligt the chosen controller in the sidebar and replace the app icon with the connection status of the chosen controller?
Besides the above mentioned I'd say: make it beta or release it already!
Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback! Ill think about adding an option to hide the actionbar as mentioned or add an option to choose another layout ( without numeric keys for instance ).

Nice one Rogro82!
All buttons function quicker than the real remote. A sterling job.

I actually don't have an apple device laying around so I wasnt able to use a packet sniffer.
At first i just did a basic port scan using nmap ( linux ) and figured the opened VNC port wouldnt be there without any use.
Connecting over VNC with most clients failed because they all expect to get a window size larger then 0x0.
Ubuntus build-in Remmina client however didnt loose connection but just presented an empty screen, but I was able to open the info screen on the mediabox by pressing enter and was able to send normal a-z commands in the search screen, but all other media keys werent mapped to any normal keycodes.
So i wrote a small command-line VNC client to scan the entire keycode range to see if I could find all remaining buttons and after a night of scanning and testing I basically figured out the rest of the keys ( which can be found here https://github.com/rogro82/HorizonRemote/blob/master/HorizonRemote/jni/include/keys.hpp ).
I might borrow an ipad one day to check out the official apps, but when it comes down to managing recordings I will not need an actual device as the interface how scheduling etc works is pretty much self-explanatory. Removing and scheduling recordings and other media related tasks are entirely manageable over UPnP and sadly like many other UPnP services without any form of authentication.
So anyone on Ubuntu ( or any other linux distro ) can control his box using tools like gupnp-tools or something similiar and so can anyone else on your WIFI network ( unless you take your own precautions like blocking UPnP ports ).
A recording interface itself wouldnt take too much time to write, but the whole EPG might be a bit more work ( although that data is also accessible over UPnP ).
Currently I am very limited in free time, but as soon as I will have some more time to spend I will take a closer look into the widevine streams to see if there is anything blocking support on Android.

K friends of mine who have UPC should no longer give me access to their WIFI network as their recordings might magically disappear :angel:
So people be warned... as you are not able to turn of UPnP on the mediabox ( atleast not that im aware of ) anyone who has access to your WIFI network
is able to remove all your recordings without any form of approval / security.

You can turn UPnP of using the advanced/options tap (web interface) on Horizon Box
I installed the app earlier today and I'm pleasantly surprised about it's stability for an alpha version. But mostly blown away by the speed, like others said before you have managed to do what UPC haven't been able to until now.
Hij is goed hé, Kantjer

I've been working on a tablet messaging app which uses the stock android messaging app as a base. Only supports Android 4.0+
Screenshots:

"Why should I use this instead of <other app>?"
Because holo. The only reason I started making this was because I like my apps to be holo. I think it works pretty well at sending sms too though.
I've got the core functionality up and running and I'd like to test it's compatibility with a variety of devices. I also need to evaluate the load on my server when it's not just me using it. So if you'd like to try it out, download the apk here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4YTi8GZtAWAV0ViTmFNdW5iamM
Install it on your phone and your tablet, make sure both have internet and click register. That should be enough to get it going. The app works by using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) to push messages between your phone and tablet so as long as both devices are connected to the internet, it should work. Your messages aren't stored anywhere on the server, they are just sent to GCM servers to get pushed to your phone/tablet.
It can sync notifications on android 4.3+ but the messages do not get marked as read. This is because android 4.4 doesn't allow access to the sms database unless you're the default app. It could work for 4.3 and below but I'm not keen on a feature that'll be deprecated moving forward
No mms support yet. Depending on demand, I may implement it (I've never sent an mms myself though)
Keep in mind that this will eventually be a paid app. This beta apk will eventually stop working so don't rely on it. I'll probably give it a few weeks at least
I can provide a permissions breakdown if desired but I think they're straightforward for the most part (except maybe disable screen lock, that's for the wake and unlock option for quick reply)
----------------------------------------
If you do try it out, I would much appreciate any feedback such as:
* Did it work as you expected?
* Could the functionality be clearer? Were you confused on how to use certain features?
* How reliable was it?
* What additional functionality could it have?
* Anything else!
not sure you if you got my messeages.. but it worked on 2 phones.. my problem its only a one way interaction so far. from "tablet" I can't sent messages as the "phone" user.. but when I send a message to "phone" the "tablet" client get the message but response is not sent
Note: wow!! as soon as I finished typing this messages came in.. so there is about ohhhh I don't know 10-15min delay
also prolly just not implemented yet.. but theme isn't changing..
Not sure if theres already a thread (dont think there is but I havent searched far)
Things I would like to see are:
Official Social Media Apps - Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter integration etc.
S Voice Improvement - Feel like it lacks a whopping amount, I literally feel like the only thing I can ask it to do is Call / Message someone or Open an app or request the weather (Which is on my homescreen anyway). Things that surprised me is that it can't play a song on the device on request, or open an application on the phone on request etc. I feel like it should run its responses through the official S Voice app on the phone if the request isn't a direct Gear command.
Lock security on wrist - Phone lock security on the wrist, I understand there is already the "Autolock" but some nice security features would possibly be a pin unlock that shows up on watch (or on phone if not connected) or a pattern unlock, gives more security options. Or even when clicking the option in notifications to "Open on phone" that it bypasses the lockscreen.
Remote Phone Viewer - Somewhat like teamviewer but where you can actually view your phones screen, scroll around and interact from your wrist, might be slow and tedious but would be a fun feature and extend its capabilities into the phone itself.
Unified Remote application for PC control - I always find Unified remote a good application for remote access to PC's it would be nice to see them develop an application for the wrist!
Android Wear Application integration, allowing tizen to run android wear apps, I feel if Samsung don't allow this, or don't speed up the process of passing applications their smart watches will be outran by watches such as the Moto 360.
Think thats all my ideas so far, would love to hear yours!
I would like to see an application like Shazam.

I want Google now and a MUCH better texting program. I want to be able to receive the test and reply to it in one step.

Yes, but you need to exit whichever notification you are in and go into Flesky. IMO, Flesky is slow, even with the latest update. Takes a few seconds to open and doesn't automatically refresh your feed. Very annoying that something better hasn't come out from Tizen yet. :crying:

Oh I definitely agree with that, what annoys me about default notification app is that it takes up a huge bit of scroll space repeatedly telling you that the button below opens on the phone even though the button itself says that. Should use that space to have an "Open in watch messenger" to reply!
General keyboard
More and more apps let you type in stuff. But every app has his own made keyboard.
So a keyboard implementation general for all apps!!
Then developers can make the perfect keyboard which you can choose.

Definitely agree, I don't mind typing on my watch it is manageable!
and we all know we're going to be doing it discreetly (while at work) so I could just carry a thin stylus if I ever needed to, might take something finding one, I was quite disappointed that non of the s pens worked.
"Unified Remote application for PC control "
I actually asked the developers of Unified Remote about making a Tizen port of their app - or at least something that could work in conjunction with the phone app. They said they'd look into it, but I'm not holding my breath.
We'll have more luck if the Color Tiger developers who make Smart IR lite come through with their new device that is being crowdfunded as we speak - as they said that device will be able to get commands from the watch somehow.

Hopefully they do develop a watch app it would be great and promote their app much more. I would even pay for it!
At the moment im using Wearable Widgets with a 4x4 simple unified remote widget but as I don't like wearable widgets limited options on clock faces and lack of time updates I have to flick between clock faces which is impractical!
Just thought of a new one, develop sleep application to toggle your phone into a sleepmode turn sync off etc location dim screen. Then once you wake up and toggle sleep off it turns them all on!
