mouse? - HTC Excalibur

I have heard on some smart phones you could get a bluetooth mouse to pair and function with the phone. Does anyone know if this is possible with the dash?

Not that I heard of. What phone did you hear does this?

Yeah I couldn't find the thread I had read earlier. This was the closest I could find. I read somewhere that someone did get a bluetooth mouse to work with Excalibur. However now I can't find the article. He said the only problem he had was finding a mouse pointer program.

I was experimenting with something similar to his earlier today, although I desired the reverse method of control. I noticed that XP MCE device manager had a HID that was called Bluetooth Remote Control.
After a little search, I discovered a free application called Bluetooth Remote Control for Windows Mobile.
http://www.jaylee.org/remotecontrol/
I installed the application and was quite surprised that I could control my XP MCE laptop's Media Center as well as Windows Media Player with my HTC S620 (modded Dash). The application even utilizes the HTC display to display song information and also there is no line of sight requirement.
What I really wanted was to be able to control the PC's mouse and keyboard with the Smartphone. Not view the PC but just use the phone like a mouse and keyboard. The application has this ability (Screen Control) for PPC's but not completely for Smartphones. I was able to scroll up, down on a web page or application but that was all.
I installed FakeCursor and configured SmartToolKit to launch it from an extended keypress. Now I was able to move the mouse pointer on the laptop, a bit, and enter data via the HTC keypad. However, Fakecursor stopped sending data after it reached the edge of the Dash screen so I could not completely navigate the laptop.
If anyone is looking for a free remote control for audio/video application the application mentioned above would be a good start.
Any tips about the best way to use a Smartphone Standard without touch to control a PC would be welcomed.

[APP] Remote control music played on your PC

Since my early WM days I was enviously looking at Nokia's Simple Center solution to remotely control music played on my PC from my WM device. Member "Magic" from the Swiss-German PocketPC forum found such a solution, made in Germany, available as a fully featured trial app in English or German:
1-2 Remote over WLAN and Bluetooth gives you access to your WMP or iTunes music collection, and lets you remotely play that music. Add a hardware audio transmitting/receiving solution to your PC, and you could send music to any given room, and control it from there on your HD.

If in return you want to listen to music from your PC or NAS on your HD take a look at Pocket Players UPnP networking solution (available as free add-on for PP).
wow what a great application, i just installed it, and it works great,
i have a bluetooth speaker that i use in the garden when having a BBQ but keeps cutting out due to reception, now i can run a speaker from pc to the garden and control the music from my phone with wifi when having a BBQ,
IF THE WEATHER GET BETTER. TOOOOO MUCH RAIN.............ARRGH
thanks for sharing this app.
That remind me an application called "Signal" http://www.alloysoft.com/
Anyway great app...
I've just installed this: http://www.jaylee.org/remotecontrol/ on my TD2 (posting here as this thread is where I found that it was possible to use WM in this way)
This one is not as polished as 1-2-Remote, but its free, it covers quite a few applications, although I've only tried it with itunes.
I initially ran into a problem of the TD2 not having any (easily/default) mapable keys, and thought this app was useless, but found that the keyboard itself could be used (small note, the keyboard I use can't use any of the QWERTY letters, but can use others including space etc, this does not effect the standard keyboard).
Have a try.
Hi i think this is a great application.
1-2 Remote has so many features, i will install Signal and give that a try as well and see which one is best.
i have looked at Bluetooth Remote Control for Windows Mobile, and it seem so simple but good points is that it is free.
still i will install it and see which one i will keep.
thanks for the posts

keypad emulator for button-less devices?? anything out there??

I was looking for a way to play Worms World Party on my HD2, and I found this

Worms World Party keypad emulator - a little program allows you to play Worms World Party on devices without a keyboard such as the Omnia II.
Install notes:
1. We move on keypad.exe device.
2. Run keypad.exe
3. Run Worms World Party from the folder / Program Files / Jamdat /
4. We go into the settings and configures the knopkina fire (fire), jump (jump) and flip (flip) (X button is used to exit).
5. Play and enjoy!

apparently this works on the Omnia 2, but when I try it with my HD2, the keypad application does not seem to work
we seriously need something like that.. I wish I could help with this, but my programing skill are really bad
did any of you guys try this before?? any ideas for similar program or developing something similar??
Exactly what I'd love to see added to WVGAFIX... Something very usefull on new devices with wide screens.
Since Windows Mobile is basically Windows CE it seems quite possible for an app (like WVGAFIX) to wrap another "child" app (like a game) and run it in as if inside a "window" (the part running the game) contained inside. The "mother" app would show the "child" app and the controls. I'm no coder but it sounds doable (but then again it may just be my lack of knowledge). Seems to me as a most deriable improvement for WVGAFIX.
Here was one of my ideas for a combo of onscreen controls and hw buttons in wide screen devices (check the pic in that post).
MorphGear could be a good starting point (flexible and open source). And who knows... Maybe it would grab some attention back into it and stimulate devs to update or develop new emulator modules.
Here, here and here are some onscreen d-pad apps (but if your app only runs in a non wide resolution you can see how they are not the best alternative...).
And alternatively there are some g-sensor dpad like controllers here and here.
Yet none seems quite complete.

[Q] File Transfer over Bluetooth

Ok, I've searched for about 3 days now and I can't find anything that answers my question.
My G2 is rooted and I'm running CM 6.1 RC2 and I would like to be able to pair AND connect to my Windows 7 laptop via bluetooth for file transfers.
I have the "Bluetooth File Transfer" app installed, but it will not connect to my laptop. It tries, but says that my laptop does not have the OBEX and/or OPP transfer protocol active. I've looked for answers on that and I can't find anything.
The phone does connect to other bluetooth devices without a problem (my car stereo for example). And my laptop connects to other devices without a problem (my mouse for example). There has to be a way to introduce these two crazy cats to each other - I know they will form a happy and fruitful relationship once they meet.
Thanks in advance.

Clear all caches clear bluetooth up/download clear all that out reboot do not connect to anything else before u try ur laptop. You need to make your laptop discoverable in the bt settings its kind of hidden. Do one of two things..... 1. First set up a personal area network between the phone and the laptop. Once that's "paired but not connected" initiate a file transfer of a small file txt or even one picture FROM the laptop to the phone. You need to pay attention to the pairing code and try to simultaneously accept on phone then laptop or laptop then phone until it pairs and initiate the transfer from laptop to phone. The thing is Windows is a beast that likes to protect itself and your phone is quite promiscious so youu have to kind of appease Windows rather than your anything goes phone. I forgot what number two is..
It also depends on UAC settings in Win7.
If that doesn't work... I suggest trying a dedicated app like PDAnet bluetooth tethering because it will find your phone. Just to connect not to tether. (As a test)
But the bottom line is you have history of connecting to other devices so you gotta clear all that memory out on both laptop and phone. Reboot both devices start fresh.
If not then maybe someone has other ideas to help. Nice bump btw.

[Windows] Use remote control on PC

Hi Guys, how are you?
Sorry if the title doesn't meet the rules, I didn't came here since my Nexus 5 died, a long time ago!
Well, enough talk about me.
The title says it all, is there any way to use and/or remap the TV stick remote control with a PC (Windows 10) with bluetooth or, if not, any other protocol?
I've been lookin for everywhere and in the very little informations I got, nothing seem's to work. I can pair the remote on my PC through bluetooth, it register under the nickname of "AR", but the remote does nothing. AHK and AHKHID doesn't register the remote pressed buttons so I can't remap them. I'm new to AHK, so maybe I do something wrong.
If you have any information to give me, don't be shy!
I want to use it for Plex on Windows, my old laptop does a pretty nice job as media center. As of why I don't use the TV Stick, it's because it's the worst, most unusable, slower, buggier piece of garbage I ever bought, thankfully it was cheap, but I don't even understand how such a product can reach the market, in it's final days, it couldn't even start Prime Video. But the remote control might be useful!
Have a nice day you all!

No sorry. The remotes use a custom Wifi direct configuration.

Hi 0815hoffi! Thanks for your time! I was so desperate that I already tried, mind you, and AntiMicro simply tell me that it find no device ^^'
Thanks for the try ^^
I ordered a cheap'o remote... on Amazon, they got me all the time. It's just sad, because if the Amazon Remote had a way to remap keys, it would make less waste... I won't use even though it's working great

Hacking the Philips Screeneo U4

Hi, I am not sure, whether this is the right position to post for the Screeneo U4 because it is a projector and no TV. So if it is wrong here, sorry for that and the moderators might move it to the right place. But it is running Android TV.
I recently received a Philips Screeneo U4 ultra short throw projector. This projector uses Android TV and I did some research. I thought that somebody might be interested in the results. The screenshots show german Text but the steps should be self explanatory, so I did not change the language of the machine.
The first impression is that they use their own launcher on that machine which hides “normal” Android. But not totally .

If you go to Settings and there to serial number, press OK on the remote five times. Then you find a hidden menu. Once there go to ABDDemo and you will find the standard Android developer options. On my machine they were already activated. Go to USB-Debugging, activate it and you have standard USB-Debugging access with all adb-commands working. I also activated file transfer as standard usb-setting. The projector then shows as maxtv on your computer with the standard directories in the internal storage.
If you transfer an apk-file to InstallableApps it can be installed on the machine with the app-installer in the hidden directory. You could also use adb shell commands for installing.
In that menu you also find an entry called settings which leads to another standard android settings menu. Showing for example Wifi-Settings although there is no Wifi on board.
So far the first research steps. I would be interested whether there are other owners of that projector who know more and would also be interested in suggestions to do deeper research. And might be suggestions for useful software to try.

Hello and thank you for the information, I have connected a key with two apk, IPTV and Kodi in usb but I do not see them, you are talking about ADB shell but how to connect it since there is no integrated wifi or RJ45 network cable, can you help me please?
fabio
Hello,
you have to transfer the files to the Installable Apps directory (see above).
I use the connection to the projector which I have, when connecting an usb-cable to the computer.
Kodi would probably make sense for media on a connected harddisk or stick if Kodi recognizes those. I did not try this. But the installed vlc media player does quiet a good job in playing videos and music.
I do not see the point with IPTV without any Network connection. I did not manage to activate Wifi or ehternet via usb - did you?
