IR blaster - Wear OS General

I was thinking about all the cool stuff that can be integrated to android wear. Well I think an IR blaster would be a very nice addition for people who use TV, AC, and other stuff. NFC and an LED notification light would also be a useful addition to android wear our any other smartwatches.

This is why I stick with the HTC One line of devices. I really hope the M9 has a Google Edition, otherwise I don't know what I'll do.
The watches would be nice to have all the sensors and transmitters as phones. But an IR blaster from the wrist would be sweet.

This is the only reason I stick with my Samsung gear 2 plus the camera feature.

Maybe we can get an app that will control the ir blaster off our android devices since my z2 tab has an it blaster using my smart watch to control the ir blaster would be great

iCrap headsets for Android devices

Hi Guys
I've been looking for a nice headphones with mic and control buttons for my Legend
Unfortunately companies make only ones for iPhone
Apple does not like us to use them
So they have put a chip which allows them to work only with idevices
When u connect them to legend mic do not work (but the phone recognize it as coneceted)
Only central button works (allows u to play and stop music only)
I've read that there is a patch for HTC magic
Which allows to use iPhone ones
I've been wondering is there a way to make them work on legend as well
If anyone have any info about how to do it please help

Hi yeah the htc headphones are terrible but you will also find that the iphone/ipod 4 headphones work too for android phones
my sister has a ipod 4 and got a set from the apple store 25 gbp logitec ones sounds very nice and bass is great too inner ear ones 3 button control
i tried these on my phone and they worked but only one button worked but that could be due to cm7 but any iphone/ipod 4 ones will work
Hope this is of help

The problem is that microphone is not working
At the end I bought sennheiser px200-lli, they have a brilliant sound quality and they can b folded to small size
I hope I'll manage to make them work somehow
Anyway thanks

[MOD] Somebody enabled Miracast for Nexus 7

I just found this on GitHub:
Somebody, called Kensuke, enabled Mircast (Streaming screen over WiFi) for the Nexus 7. I don't have mine here so I can't test it.
Maybe somebody can try it out.
It seems that he compiled the complete 4.2.2 ROMs with the addional Miracast Support.
Try it on your own Risk!

awesome! Cm should merge this feature. And now, we know Miracast is a software-related not hardward-related. Oh yeah.

Oh man I hope this gets baked into some ROMs! This is the one feature that I really want that the N7 doesn't have...
I would love this baked into a ROM
Would love to see this become a common feature for Roms.

Tried the Tilapia package for my 3g. It almost works. I'm going to play with it some more. Documentation for his app would be great. It's not straightforward.
Have there anyone a image now?

If someone would like to test it I did include the patch on my ROM, take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43489843#post43489843
So anyone able to verify this working?
Working fine here.

Well this is exciting. Hopefully there's enough demand for it so we won't be limited to just a handful of ROMs to take advantage of this.
I wonder if there is any way a mod like this could be packaged into an Xposed module? Or is it such a fundamental change that it has to be baked into the ROM?
I would test this out if I had a Miracast receiver already. Also I don't want to lose the tethering menu in my current tilapia ROM, so ideally if a ROM had both Miracast & tethering that'd be great.

Indeed.. lol. Would be nice if this eventually came to all CyanogenMod ROMs for all devices.

Maybe someone with CM coding experience can do that.

So you streamed your screen to your TV, no problems at all?
Is it smooth? How much does the Allshare dongle cost, I should get this instead of Android stick PC.

Tried both allshare cast dongle and Android TV stick (dual core rk3066 one), all works. Pretty much the same experience as my Nexus 4 with native wireless display.
With android TV stick, it lags a lot. Definitely not for gaming, no. But with allshare cast dongle, it works much much better..
In my country, the dongle cost me around $80

htc tv app + aosp?

Will the HTC tv app and ir blaster work if I switch to an aosp rom? I use my phone for a remote in my bedroom with directv. Thanks in advanced for the response
If I'm not mistaken it doesn't work. I'm pretty positive that I've seen that in AOSP threads

Gear 2 Transformed to DSLR IR remote

I was very pleased with this app that Transform your watch to a high end DSLR Remote controller using the built-in IR on the smart watch works very great for group shoot or even Selfies.
It called ''DSLR Smart Remote'' and here is a video that show how to use it Peace

Nice.. I have already been using this capability to control DSLR using the smart IR remote app.
Overall, I love my uses of Gear 2. Hope they will update the firmware to newer Tizen version soon
