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?

Anybody Know if there is a universal remote control app for android?
View 17 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have connected my Android application to a Windows desktop machine via Bluetooth. The application interacts with the machine. At the end of the interaction the application on the desktop closes the socket that was opened between the Android and the desktop application. Right when socket.close() is called on the Windows machine my Android app pops open a dialog saying that the application has stopped unexpectedly and then it quits. I have a breakpoint on the line in the ConnectedThread (like in the BluetoothChat sample) where I read the InputStream on the Android and that is not hit. I also have a breakpoint in the catch statement for the try surrounding the place where I read the InputStream. That one also does not get hit. So I have no idea how I can catch this error. Is this a bug?

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.

- 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?
