Could anyone give me an info on how to use the hermes as a remote control. I was able to use my amazing phone before as such, wanna do the same with hermes but the universal remote via bluetooth can't work in my unit..
Hope someone could help. thanks
There's a commercial app that is supposed to be really good. It's called VITO Remote II or something like that. Google it, there's a trial version I think.
my personal experiences with vito are not good
search for novii remote deluxe! very easy to setup an customizable
use novi remot
hi, novi remote works a treat, you can set up macro's, learn from other remotes ie xbox dvd control, set up a custom "remote" all good.
The bad...well distance is not real great, and novi needs to make your screen turn upside down as the ir port is on the bottom.
hope it helps
google it and you will be ok. or pm me
cheers

HTC audio Drivers
Downloading and installing this driver update will provide your HTC mobile device with the latest available optimised software for use with the following accessories:
YC A120 Y-Cable adaptor
RC W100 Remote Controller
RC E100 Remote Controller
[FONT="]http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3300.html
************************
later:
[/FONT] It soft resets after the update and takes up about 0.2-0.3 mb main memory. The update does show up in the add/remove programs list. Didn’t know I had a problem with my audio drivers…
Now Items like Y- Cabel are really working, without the internal speaker.
could it be the same as driver shipped with the W100 remote?
I'm going to try it. Hoping it *might* fix my problem described in my review of the remote:
http://www.expansys.com/review.aspx?i=145150
otherwise, don't bother.
I cant install this driver on Tinity WM6
Any idea?
it certainly looks like you can... http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html. however, when i try to install it, my phone says the driver already exits...
Saw it on the HTC and have it downloaded just in case it disappears of the site because...
Where is the SD card fix gone ? (already have it but seems to be off the site/ well hidden)
This is the Wired Remote Control Driver
Just installed, it is indeed the driver that came with the W100 remote. BUT!!!
This fixes the stupid problem that the remote cannot be used/detected when the phone goes to power off! So if you don't have the W100 remote, you have no need for this really, the stock headset works just fine. Great, I don't need to refund my headset!

Any idea how to fix it?
Does the HTC W100 Remote work with TCPMP?
I have followed Humps and installed the TCPMP Player and it seems quite good, however when I press start on the remote, the system fires up Windows media and then I need to go into the library to get my moosic to play. Is there a way to map the remote to access TCPMP and start the music straight away?
I like the remote it means that the phone is in my jacket and when I get bored with a tune then just forward without having to unlock the device and scrabble with buttons..............
E100
Hi,
Is there someone wich know what is the RC E100 remote controller ?
If you mean; what is the HTC RC W100 remote control? then have a look at the HTC website. It is a wired remote control that you plug your normal 3.5mm headphone jack into and conrol the media player while the Orbit/Artemis/P3300 is in your pocket or bag.
It's this control here
...only for WMPLAYER
...went all the way, using WMPLAYER to be able to use BT Headphones and hating it!!! (why can't it have a simple 'file list' instead of all the lbrary stuff which you can't manage thru your WM5!)
With a 'Y adaptor' I went back to MortPlayer and love it!!!
And now I receive my w100 and..... it only works with WMPLAYER again (ok, unless you want to ignore the controls alltogether )
Any 'control' key you press opens a wmplayer (even if MortPlayer is already running). There must be a 'link' somewhere between the buttons and the function they perform.... just that I can't find it.
Someone have any idea?? (.......MORT, if you read this, save me from WMPLAYER please

Hi Fucawi, I have not found a way to get it going with TCPMP, not even with the audio driver update. The buttons on the remote does not appear to be a regular AppButton so TCPMP cannot assign functions against it. I've been trolling through registry and stuff and couldn't find any clues.
May be if we generate enough noises, HTC will release another audio driver update so we can assign functions to the buttons or let apps use those buttons.
Techies and software peeps - help!
Humps, I thought that this forum would be the best place to get this done as people on here have a wealth of knowledge about the registry et al. HTC would not issue another driver for a couple of wingers like you and I, or even if 20 people on this forum wanted it. It doesn't make commercial sense....
There has to be a way to change the default settings to map to TCPMP or Mort or PocketMusic as the remote calls up the WMPlayer application with a button press. Surely one of our esteemed moderators and long suffering techie fiddlers knows their way around these devices and can either give us direction or instructions on how to do this.
Let's have a first 'peep' at the drivers....
One of the files included is: HTCWMPPlug.dll
Literally, from the info on the file
'HTC WMP Plugin for Control WMP Commands'
and I understand WMP stands for 'Windows Media Player'
Seems like it's something more than just a registry entry
... just exploring ...

I think you're right. TCPMP can detect hardware buttons on most devices, be it an iPAQ or HTC phone. Those buttons are implemented as AppButtons (correct me here please) which programmes can access directly. Since the buttons on the remote are software driven, the only way other apps can use it is if the driver somehow creates virtual logical buttons that maps to the remote. Which is also why I doubt anyone here will be able to do much. The hardware is great, shame about the driver.
AE BUTTON PLUS has an option to define virtual buttons
I don't have a clue if that would work for what you want, but may be worth a go ?

Just tried, doesn't work. Like TCPMP, it can't detect the buttons. I don't programme WinCE devices, but in programming sense, think the OS gives you access to a list of buttons. E.g. calling System.getButtons() but those buttons on the remote don't appear in that method call and cannot be used by applications typically designed for the traditional buttons. Only HTC's driver can provide access.
I have to say, WMP is pretty useless as a player software. Limiting the playback buttons to it is like crippling your device to crap software. I couoldn't understand what HTC was thinking.
I'm also disappointed not to have seen this post before buying th W100 ...
I want to use it with PocketMusic , eh HTC ! wake up !!!
Hello
Is it possible to make and use (or does it exist?) some kind of midi controller program for blackstone?
for example I do some music in fruity Loops and it wouldbe awesome to have some dashboard on the devie to turn some FX on and off or change setting on fly...
Do you think that this is possible?
Thanks.
PS: What do you think of such an idea?
I dunno what's possible, but it sounds a mighty fine idea.
Kinda makes me hanker for a multi-touch screen.
You might be lucky
There is a midi controller called Theresa. It works over activesync (seems USB only, bluetooth did not work). I've dared to use it also while performing. Its here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298717&highlight=remote+desktop+client
Google Gremote, and download the free version. It's pretty awesome. You just need to tweak the mousepad settings, then get used to how it works.

with your ps3 how much control do you have because i am wanting to have my x1 control my ps3. I am hoping there is a way to have a remote play function set up on my phone so you could control the ps3 and stream content over the web like a PSP.
Hi there just wondered if anyone has come across an app that allows the Desire to mimic a PS3 bluetooth remote, just thinking it would mean one less remote cluttering up the sofa
Cheers

From what I've seen the only option at the moment is Pocket Blu however that sucks as it only works with Pocket Blu enabled Bluray discs. If you do find something I'd be most interested.
Hi,
You can try original "BD Remote for Android" from Sony I use it to control my blu ray BDV-F500 via WiFi.
Thanks RFX, but "BD Remote for Android" is not designed for PS3 acording to the app store but will give it a go tonight.
Cheers akirainblack, i will check it out
Any decent IR blaster / universal rmote control app to make use of this feature in the G4?
I found only the TV Kill app on F-Droid, which works, but it can only turn TVs off.
There are lots of universal remote apps on Google Play / Aurora store, but they have unbelievable amounts of trackers and unnecessary permissions according to exodus https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/ for what should be a relatively simple and unobtrusive app.
Nobody?
So far the best I've found is IR Remote Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jw.ir.remote.control
It hasn't been updated since 2016, has limited device support, and has a somewhat cramped UI, but it actually works and isn't full of trackers and requires few permissions.
I hope there is something better out there, but for now I guess it's good enough.
I've been using this app for years. It works great and has good layout customization abilities.

Thanks for the suggestion.
There are a couple of issues:
The permissions required seem excessive: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/9458/
It does not install for me on /e/ and microg saying there is no billing permission.
I actually, all remote control apps, I have used before was not as good as the standard universal remote controls. With their help, you can control TVs, consoles, DVD players, audio systems, and other devices. As I've read here https://themybuy.com/best-universal-remote-control/ such controls as Logitech Harmony Ultimate can work with nearly 200k entertainment and smart home devices. Speaking about apps, I have not found such applications yet that can work with so many devices. Also, they are hard in installment and configuration. But it is my opinion.
Hi All,
Need quick help from you all.....
I was working on making a universal Alexa-operated IR remote control with which one can control any device present at home.
Currently, I am able to control TVs (using RC5 protocol) and music systems (using NEX protocol).
But I am facing a lot of difficulties in decoding the AC remote control. (My observation is that AC remote is sending a lot of data as compared to a normal remote control)
can anyone help/guide me in with AC remotes?

I my opinion If I was on your place I would go with Logitech harmony as it has amazing features and easy to control.
This thread is about an app for the IR blaster on phones, not dedicated remote controls.
There is a new app option on F-Droid, creatively named IR Remote:
IR Remote | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
IR TV Remote
f-droid.org
It's not perfect as there are currently some bugs and some buttons do not work correctly, but it is serviceable, and bug reports could make it better. Seems like the cleanest/safest option so far.
