macroMote, the only remote control application you need for your computer. Functionality? Using a command based system macroMote allows you to easily create the functionality you need to take control of your computer remotely. Design? With its tabbed layout organizing your macros has never been easier, this means your macros can be categorised how you want them to be. Simplicity? Everything about macroMote screams simplicity, after all that’s what a remote is for right? Macros can still be created (and removed) while clients (yes, more than one device can be connected at the same time!) are connected; the changes will be synced to all of the devices in real-time.
Features
- Command system to create whatever functionality you need
- Tabbed design for easy access
- Connect as many devices as you want
- Changes are synced in real-time to all devices
- macroMote Server compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac
Planned Features
- Added security (PIN to connect)
- Ability to save IP address
- Ability to change port
- Better tablet support
This really is the definition of universal.
Silly example macro, opens chrome and navigates to XDA
Code:
shell "cmd /C start chrome --start-maximized"
wait 2000
move "155,45"
click left
wait 500
type "XDA "
type ENTER
wait 1500
move "192,280"
click left
REQUEST : Please can you test this on your Linux/Mac machines. It should work but unfortunately I haven't had chance to fully test it (especially on Mac)
Please post your feedback for any improvements, commands and bugs!
How To? Mirror
Server Mirror
Lite
Pro​

Reserved - Update information should go here.

This looks good but I have one question/concern.
How does the remote know which application to send the macro commands too? In other words, that VLC tab you have will only be useful if VLC is your currently active window.
It would be nice if each macro command could be directed towards a specific application running on your computer. If I want to control my iTunes music via remote, I don't want to maximize it first.
Make sense?

That is a very good question! I've thought about this and it still needs some work. With the server being programmed in Java it means I don't have access to external sources like window names and other useful things. It would mean I need to use the system API's (which of course then means I would need to figure out a way to get it to work on Linux and Mac too). Which means its going to be a pain in the ass. Fortunately must commonly used applications listen out for hot keys regardless of focus.
A simple solution would be? :
press ALT
type TAB
release ALT

- Added Mirror Links to 'How To?' and 'Server' (My site host seems to be blocking the links...)

400+ Views... one reply.
It would be nice if people could leave some feedback? I put a lot of time into this.

So you have to be at the PC when writing set commands for each remote function?
Have you thought about being able to write a custom function on the Android phone then pushing that to the server then executing it?
Would like to have a little play with this app though, I like the idea Could maybe interpret something like this into a smart tv one day with a bit of modification.
Good Job

Yes, well the idea was that you set-up all of your macros on the computer before hand (prevents security issues). Since you will only need to write the macro once.
I developed this to function as an AIO remote to be used with any software and OS on your computer (where other remote controllers fail). I would of continue developing it, but it seems nobody is interested or doesn't understand what it does fully. I think I might just release the Pro version for free.

I would try and offer some ideas but as you said it lies with using System API's.... Would be a huge improvement if you did manage to figure it out.
And yes the XDA feedback is sometimes.....

ScreenShots:
When I worked in big company, I have used Putty, WinScp, Telnet client and FileZilla for solving some easy problems, like change config file, copy from one FS to other and then restart application server through terminal. This program should make it much easy, without the need for this zoo of programs.
Implemented next protocols:
SSH
SFTP
FTP
FTPS
Local FS
WebDAV
Telnet
Http, Https are coming.
Features:
Tablet ready
Holo-style interface
A lot of protocols implemented with integration between them
All file system actions: rename, cut, copy, delete, edit.
SSH signals like CTRL+C etc.
File system sharing. You can copy file from one FS, e.g. one FTP server, and paste it to another with SFTP.
Password & OpenSSH private key support
Sort by various parameters
Install from Google Play
Any feedback are welcome! Here program bug tracker, I will try do everything to improve this program.

Any feedback?

When logging into a Cisco router or switch I enter show running to display the configuration. On my laptop I would hit space to page through the config. How would I with this app?

Sorry, I didn't understand about "hit space". Could you please explain?

If I was on a PC, I would login to the router. At the prompt, I will enter the Cisco command.......show running-config. At that point it will want to scroll through the entire router configuration, one page or line at a time. On the pc, to move past the first page you would either hit enter to view it line by line or hit the space bar to go through it page by page. I need to be able to do both. Love the app, that just limits me. May just be my lack of understanding of the app which is what prompts my question.

[APP][2.2+] Message Beam

THIS PROJECT IS IN DEVELOPMENT AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK - CURRENT VERSION 0.3ß - RELEASED FEBRUARY 6th, 2014 - SEE BELOW FOR CHANGELOG AND DIRECT APK LINK
I would like to share an app I actually wanted to make make myself, but it seems that it actually might be something worth releasing. The app is called Message Beam and with it you can send text from your desktop to your phone *and vice versa*. At the moment it is only available as a Chrome Extension (apart from the Andoid app), but when completely finished it will have at least have a Chrome Extension, a web site and a stand alone executable (probably .NET).
Key features
* Send selected text, URL's or custom messages from Chrome to your Android device
* Messages will be copied to the device its clipboard, URL's will be opened when you click on the notification
* Send messages from your Android device to Chrome
* You can link multiple devices (so you can link your tablet too )
* Encrypt messages to improve your privacy (keys only stored at device and/or endpoint, meaning they will never be sent over the internet).
Why it was made
Up until now I used the Chrome to Phone extension, but it lacks the possibility to send custom text or a text selection. Also, it often takes a lot of time before the message is actually delivered and sending a message from the device to Chrome is impossible, as well as linking more than one device. Message Beam tries solves all these shortcomings.
Screenshots:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How does it work?
The underlying technique used is an XMPP server. Messages sent from and to devices will only be stored until they are delivered and are (*OF COURSE*) not read, used for analysis or used for any other form of privacy violation. Linking devices is as easy as creating a special code of at least 4 characters and entering it in the Chrome Extension, setup can be done within a minute.
Why release it as some sort of development build?
I made this project for myself and have done no research whatsoever in what others might want from this app, so releasing it on this forum means I can hopefully get some feedback that will help add features and make the app perfect!
What will the future bring?
The functionality provided is the bare minimum of what I had in mind. The future will probably bring at least the following things:
* Encryption (with keys only available on your device and endpoint (e.g. Chrome Extension), meaning it's impossible for the Message Beam server to decrypt messages Done in version 0.2ß
* Files (Images, Office documents, etc., etc.). Preparations for this have already been made.
* More endpoint types (Executable, Website, Firefox extension -> see below, Java client, etc.)
Is it free and will it stay free?
Yes and Probably. When there are not too many users, I can host it on my own small VPS and won't have any extra costs. However, if there are too much users, I will need to add one or more VPS'es and then some features might only be available in a paid version, but the intention is to keep it free.
Closing words
As said, this project is still heavily in development and released just because I want to check if it's something worth releasing in public eventually I hope you like it and thanks for reading!

Finally...
Finally! A quick and easy way to have bi-directional clipboard functionality between my desktop/laptop and my mobile devices. Also very easy to install and everything works right out of the box. This is the way to go!
Can't wait until more features like sending images, audio and/or videos files. Keep up the good work!

The extension and app have now been updated and encryption was added. The keys used will be saved in the extension and the app using an AES encryption algorithm. The messages will also be sent with AES (different salt and IV's though). The passphrase is only stored on the device and endpoint, it will only be used to encrypt and decrypt the messages and will NEVER be sent over the internet.. This feature was added to improve privacy.

this is just awesome... just what i was looking for :laugh:

This is really amazing... works like charm in both ways! Put it to Google Play asap! (easy updates)

Just kidding, thanks for a pushbullet alternative :good:

A big thank you! Working perfectly on my X8! :good:

works like a charm.
VAST compliments for the ease of setting and using! you should sell this app to google to be merged with android code. or maybe google should hire you, seriously

Great
But, i can do that with Pocket, Evernote, Keep!!
Or amiwrong

This is really great. There's one thing though I'd like to have since years. Do you know the app aosp wifi keyboard? Basically it's an IME that gets its input from another client (Web page). As you have implemented encryption i wonder if it's possible to do the same thing via Internet connection. This means that the chrome extension needs to send every character on text change and a special ime needs to receive the character.
Maybe there are other solutions that I'm not aware of? If not, do you consider to add this to the wish list?

Cool I will try!!

Woking
It's working great on my HTC One thanks.

Working great on my desire X
Thanx for your work
ladalgigi

work perfect on HTC One with MIUI
:good:

thx bro

Very nice, and it's working very well. You should consider adding posibillity to integrate message beam to androids share feature.

perfect perfect perfect

Very Very good ! keep on the good work...thank you

Working perfectly on my LG G2, thanks!
It would be awesome if you could make a firefox add-on!

FAQ:
Q: I can't connect!
A: UPDATE: In version 1.2.0 I improved finding local IP address. So even if you use a vpn, you should get the valid and correct local IP address. Also, new version has Auto Server Discovery feature. When you are in Connection Status page, wait a little and you will see your host will be added to the list automatically! If you still have problems and app cannot find your host automatically, you can try adding your host manually. Make sure to use a valid local IP address. You can find your local IP address form Swift Remote desktop application, and also from Network and Sharing Center in Windows
Q: Wake-on-Lan is not working!
A: for Wake-on-Lan, you have 2 options. use a MAC Address or choose from list of your hosts. If you want to choose from hosts you have to connect to that host at least one time. So android app can get your MAC address and store it in database. Remember, if you use Wifi on your computer, android application gets and stores MAC Address of your Wifi interface. So for making wOL to work, connect your computer to LAN (because WOL will not work on Wifi) and then connect android app to desktop. now it stores your LAN interface MAC address.
And for enabling WOL on your PC, if you want to turn on your computer when it is powered off, you should enable WOL in your BIOS.
and if you want to wake up your computer from sleep or hibernate, you should turn on WOL on windows. There are plenty of tutorials and helps for enabling this feature on internet. google it

Thanks Alot!
Just Tested!
Thanks Bro!

Next update will include:
- Wake-On-Lan feature
- Adding 'Passcode' feature to make it a little more secure to use on servers.

Doesn't needs wifi to connect ?

Doesn't needs wifi to connect ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's needs a network. both computer and android must be in the same network.
but you can also use it on servers with valid IP and connect and control it.
it needs wifi if you are using in a local network or want to connect to a server with valid IP.
and you can use cellular connection just for connecting to a server in another network which has a valid IP
If you want to use Wake-on-Lan to wake up your computer, it only needs a wifi. because Wake-on-Lan only works in a local network.
So you should use it with Wifi.
also, for Wake-on-Lan, you should turn on magic packet in BIOS (if you want to turn on your computer when it's turned off)
and enable magic packet on windows if you want to turn on your computer from sleep or hibernate
I wrote FAQ in second post and explained it there

personalDNSfilter was updated to version 1.50.2 on March 19, 2017.

Just found this, I'm surprised it's not got a following.. light and easy to use, seems a good alternative to dns66 and the likes.

Can we change/edit the local file FILTERHOSTS.TXT?
Will it get downloaded again and over-written?

Great app, thanks for heads up.

By default it will be overwritten. But you can add custom filters within the dnsfilter.conf (see filter.host = true|false settings).
Alternativly it is possible to disable the automated filter download so that the FILTERHOST.TXT won´t be overwritten.
Just check dnsfilter.conf file for details. It contains a good documentation of the different settings.

Sorry, these might be some dumb questions, but really trying to get this to work on an Android phone running 7.1.1:
1) do I need to check "Advanced settings" in order for those settings to work? If I don't check it, I can't scroll down to view the logs, unless I'm missing something
2) Also, any reason why some of my custom entries in the "Advanced settings" doesn't work? (I put in entries to be filtered and those are still allowed in the log and entries to be allowed, but those are still blocked.) I've hit Reload filter and Restart and sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't.
3) Lastly, any reason why other times my entire "Advanced settings" erases? How can I get those entries to persist?
Thanks for putting this app together, hopefully once I know what's going on I'll be able to use it much better.

Advanced settings unfolds when clicked, set values, untick and the put in values are active but hidden in the GUI. Set a custom reload intervall for testing to see (days until next reload).
Use a text editor to edit the right files inside the pDNSf folder in your storage. You will find examples and descriptions there. Just have a look at the even more advanced settings playing around with the configuration files. Quit the client, edit files, start the client again and reload.

Yes .... better edit the dnsfilter.cfg file. In addition: the advanced settings within the GUI only allows to edit the filter URL and reload interval. In case invalid values are added, it will be reset to the previous valid entries (Check for messages in the log area)

Thanks for the heads up guys. I was looking in the Android/data folder for the settings, but I should have just looked at the root folder. Okay, I've got everything to work now!

Translation to the 30 top languages ... here we come. More and more are willing to help. Very nice.
And we got an icon update:

I guess it's in the next update.

FYI; I created a fork of the app. Not much changes, just for fun and learning.

Can you please advise what the difference is in your fork? All I can see is that yours supports v5+ while the original supports 4.2, but I don't know why.

Using android 6 the fork version doesn't install (not rooted phone), whereas the original does. How do I know why?
