Android :: Android As Universal Remote For CE / HA?

Oct 5, 2009

I'm wondering if there's any universal remote-ware for consumer electronics/home automation being developed in the Android ecosystem? Does anyone know of anything under way or a related Linux project that could be re-adapted for Android? If you look at the attached "rough" diagram I'm hoping to devise something that's a central controller for consumer electronics & home automation. I want a hand-held to interface with it, this hand-held would ideally have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used mostly. So far the best solution I've found is this:
http://openremote.org/display/HOME/OpenRemote

You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low power/profile like it would be ideal. It's critical one has JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured properly, & I'd run them on top of Mythbuntu or maybe LinuxMCE. I was also thinking of integrating the entire thing into my HTPC/PVR! But I'm not sure yet, it might be better to have a dedicated machine. This controller would be able to send/receive via; Internet, wifi, Ethernet, IR, X10, proprietary RF, & other CE/HA related protocols. I'm hoping to make do with my axim x50v as the hand-held, but porting to android is slow moving so I may eventually have to move to a better supported device (preferably with IR but not essential). 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 feel there's a better hware/sware/topology combo for the hand-held or controller/s?

Android : Way To Get Universal Remote Application?

Jul 2, 2010

Yesterday, I found a cool little device that doesn't require you to have an iPhone to be able to send infrared commands to pretty much anything. It connects to your home network either via wifi or ethernet and can control 3 IR emitters or 3 IR blasters or any combination of 3 of those. If I write an app for this thing, would anybody actually be interested?

Android :: Universal Inbox Direct Shortcut

Jul 28, 2010

I have a droid X running 2.1 update 1: I want a direct link to my universal inbox from my homescreen that drills directly into the inbox displaying all my messages. Currently, the best I can do is to use the "messaging" shortcut, which then goes and displays another shortcut to my "universal inbox" along with my individual mailboxes. I want to cut out the two-step approach, and get a direct shortcut.

Android :: Any Universal Way To Send MMS On Any Android Devices?

Jun 2, 2010

This code works on the plain google devices with native android system. But there is no MMS app in the list on HTC sense devices and I don't know about Motorola Blur etc.:
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("image/png");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, context.getString(R.string.send_intent_name)));

This code works on the HTC sense but not from the Chooser, what I really need:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.SEND_MSG");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
context.startActivity(sendIntent);

But I don't know how to combine this code samples together and I don't know how to determine HTC Sense UI programmatically. Is it right way to support different type of devices?

HTC Eris :: Universal Root For Dummies

Jul 20, 2010

Universal Eris Root for Dummies! You're not dummies, of course. But if you thought Jcase's spin on the new wag3slav3 rooting method was minimalist, this variation of it should help the fence-sitters and tech-intimidated join the world of Eris root.

- Zero typing!
- No SDK Installs!
- No USB Driver Installs!
- No Command Lines!
- No PC Needed! A Phone-only Rooting method!

Basically this is just a repackaging of the wag3slav3 method (as modified by jcase) into a form which allows you to do everything from the Eris without using a PC, and without any typing - just tap the Eris' screen in all the right places. For experts who are already have successfully set up the SDK and USB drivers, and are comfortable with the command line and adb, it is probably faster to just use the manual method. This method was created for the folks who have had trouble with, or are intimidated by, those things. Or, for those times when you want to help someone root their Eris without schlepping a "dev station" to their location.

Credits:
- Amon_RA for the custom recovery which makes the world go round
- wag3slav3 for the "mid.txt" chmod/symlink rooting exploit
- jcase for exploit code de-obfuscation
- rogro82 for the Gscript Lite tool
- cast of thousands for providing good shoulders to stand upon.

Prerequisites:
- Eris w/ any HTC/VZW release (including 1.5, all leaks V1-V3, & root-ROM)
- Install free Market app Gscript Lite (PinkVenture)
- Install free Market app EStrongs File Explorer
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
- The ROM of your choice downloaded onto your SD card in the root folder.
(T2noob's PlainJaneT2 V2.0 looks good - includes the July 2010 updates.)

I have organized this walk-through as a picture-book in a couple of posts:
0) Announcement ( this post )
1) Setting Things Up with a File Manager
2) Rooting with Gscript Lite
3) Finishing Up

These sections follow below in individual posts. Before you get started, please review this checklist:
1) Did you choose a ROM, download it to your SD card, and check the MD5 signature/file length on the copy of the file on your SD card?
2) Did you install from the market the free apps "Gscript Lite" and "EStrongs File Manager"?
3) Did you download the "gscript.zip" file (link above) using the phone's browser?
::Changelog::
2010.07.20 v0.1 Initial Release
2010.07.21 V0.2 Clean up "mid.txt" symlink at completion of part2

HTC EVO 4G :: Updating Radios - Universal For All Roms?

Nov 3, 2010

So last night I finally got around to unlocking NAND and loading Myns 2.2 RLS2. I like this rom so far. My bluetooth now works like it is supposed as opposed to Fresh.But my radios are a little behind with Myns. I thought about updating them to the newest versions as linked in the Fresh thread, but I was wondering. Are the radios tweaked for the specific roms or will all radios (and wimax, PRI, PRL, and NV) work with all roms?

Media : Need Universal Video Player App

Is there such an app that can play almost all video formats/codecs? I'd like an app where I would just transfer a video file (dix, xvid, whatever) to my SD card, and the app would let me play it. Kinda like what "Media Player Classic" does for windows.

General :: Universal Music Syncing?

May 13, 2012

need a way to sync/listen to music to 2 Android devices and multiple PCs and trying to get the following functions:

1.) Ability to upload all songs to cloud
2.) Ability to listen to everything in the cloud or set some as "Offline" on mobile devices and laptops
3.) Ability to create playlists that stay synced( meaning if I add or remove a song on mobile it shows on desktop, all changes synced everywhere )
4.) Ability to rate songs from 1 - 5 ( much like iTunes, MediaMonkey, etc... )
5.) And this is the big one! The ability to create Smart Playlists like on iTunes based on Ratings that stay synced everywhere( Changing rating on mobile changes everywhere )

I think I've found all of the above in most services except 4 and 5. I cannot find a service that allows detailed ratings( 1 - 5, not Google Music's thumb up or down( how useless is that ) ) and also couldn't find smart playlist functionality anywhere.

I need ratings and smart playlists, and the only other option I can think of is moving my music to Dropbox, installing Media Monkey so it looks at Dropbox for ratings and smart playlists( or views, whatever they call it ). But this leaves me out of luck on mobile devices.

I'd like to use Google Music but it doesn't have the rating / playlist stuff, non of them do, well not smart playlists anyways.

Motorola Droid X :: How To Root Phone Using Universal Androot?

Aug 21, 2010

How to: Root the DROID X Using Universal Androot
Universal Androot is one of the newer 1-click methods to rooting a whole lineup of devices and one of them happens to be the Droid X. We had been holding out a little on posting this until there were methods available for creating backups using something like Clockwork Recovery and since Koush just released that option, it was time.

*Note 1* This needs to be done before updating to android 2.2. This method does not currently work on droid x froyo. Instructions *Warning*. Just a reminder that rooting VOIDS your warranty and could potentially do permanent damage to your device. This is not a recommended practice and you do so at your own risk.
1. Download and install Universal Androot to your Droid X: Download Link
2. Open it and tap the Root button.
3. Your phone will now run through a series of commands.
4. When it finishes, it will tell you that you are rooted.
5. Reboot your phone and BAM!Rooted Droid X.
