HTC audio Drivers update

Just saw this. Gonna try it.
16 May 2007,
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=&quot]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!

That's what my phone says too.
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 !!!

[APP IDEA]MIDI Controller BlackStone

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:

there is smooth midi controller app on iphone/ipod touch...I have tried it on ipod otuch since I have one but it did not work somehow
yep thats it

[Q] Best app to use it as a PC gamepad?

I was wondering what's the best app out there to use the xperia play as a PC gamepad, including the option to use the accelerometers as a wheel/flight stick/kind of analog pad, obviously the hardware button and, if at all possible, use the analog pads in the xperia play

As far as I know splashtop gamepad is the best in this purpose.

Suggestion
Try Njoy for me works

But njoy doesn't use the accelerometer, right? I was trying using Droidmote, which does, to control Dirt 2 with accelerometers, but I also have to mess with the whateverthatmakesitlooklike an xbox controller on the PC side. I'll probably mess with it some time during the weekend.

set tilt left and tilt right to any left/right button. hope u understand my crap english and hope it helps

Gamepads for the note, remapping keys without root?

Hi
I've been toying with the idea of using the note as amongst other things a sort of game tab.
With that said, I've been researching around the web and found a plethora of gampads both usb and BT.
Now the one thing that seems to be an issue is game support and remapping of keys.Also in alot of cases ( samsung gamepad!!! ) you also have to repurchase the games either from playstore or from developer xxxxxx market .
I've tested a few , amongst them steelseries free, but there is always something missing.
For example I love the size and feel of the steelseries, but the game support is so so, and even games that it does support have missing features/ functions. Best example GTA 3 + steelseries free = no button for horn in the game ( a few missions actually need that)
Now I've considered getting a ps3 controller, but I'm not planing to root my unit anytime soon ( unless the whole knox issue is sorted), but then I'm left with the question is there a way to remap key without root?
Or for that mater are there any other controllers that would allow that without root??
Anyone?

Check out the Nyko Playpad. I BELIEVE with the Nyko Playground app you might be able to do the reconfiguration to your liking.
My review of the pad is here: http://reviews.greenrobotgamer.com/game-review/nyko-playpad-pro-controller/

Can anyone confirm the remapping of nyko is possible without root??

Anyone have anything to add to this?

Try a wired ps3 pad with sixassix or however its spelt its not to problematic but unsure if you can remap without root but I'm sure that will be your best bet its quite easy to remap and build touch profiles just search YouTube and you will be well away

I have a moga controller and use the universal moga driver app. It allows me to use the controller as a virtual keypad (gamepad mode requires root) and it works just fine for my PSOne and SNES games.

I'd also recommend the moga pro. Best gamepad out there. Official and unofficial driver app, for gamepad or keyboard input and complete 360 style layout. Also very nice attachment for smartphones and works with alot of games out of the box and all emulators i tried have a profile for it. Epsxe for example even with analog support.

Can you confirm key remapping and " touchscreen "support ?

Hm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean so I'll try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.obsidianx.android.mogaime
with this app you can use the gamepad in "keyboard mode" meaning you can map any button on the gamepad to any "key" possible on the android keyboard. In this mode all keys are digital buttons though including the analog sticks, because that's the way keyboards work. This works without root.
The app has a gamepad mode which enables full analog support for the sticks but that requires root.
-->BUT there is an official moga app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bda.pivot.mogapgp) which also has two modes which you can switch to with the controller itself. There is a "moga" mode (green light) and a standard HID gamepad mode (orange light). With those two modes you're able to basically play every android game that has built in gamepad support, including full analog sticks. And both the ps1 emulator i use (epsxe) and the N64 emu (Mupen64) work with one of those modes out of the box. I don't even have the universal driver installed anymore because it is not needed in most cases.
Now to your other thing, I believe you mean mapping touchscreen input to the buttons? Bad news: There is no app or controller that allows you to do that without root. As far as I know at least, and I was following the development of those apps quite closely, even worked as a beta tester for this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygold

Just the info I was looking for
While on the subject, does the sixaxis app work without root? Might be able to get my hands on a ps3 controller.
Strongly considering moga at this point.
btw any experience with the moga pocket or hero (small one) ??

Sixaxis and a PS3 controller work very well, have touchscreen support and allow remapping but you have to be rooted. I have used Sixaxis on my Xoom and S4 (both of which are rooted) but thanks to Samsung and their stupid Knox nonsense, I cannot use Sixaxis on my Note.

I figured that you need root to get touchscreen part working, but do you need root for the rest ( on the sixaxis app) ie will it work at all without root?
Not keen on shelling out 25$ and realising that I might as well bought a moga hero or pocket for a 10 or so more that would to the job just as well.

btw any thoughts on nyko playpad vs moga hero or pocket?

Just read the description of the app on play store. The first line under important says Root required. So yes it needs root. And I'm sure you'll find reviews of those controllers on YouTube.

You can connect a ps3 controller to a android wireless but you will need root privileges. An OTG Cable Could be used to connect the controll with a wire and without root.

[APP] A-PC GamePad - Control PC as gamepad with any app + multiple controllers

Hey guys wanted to share this here. I have created a client/server app for android + pc. I designed it specifically for Nvidia Shield Portable, but it should work with any android device (OS4.4 KitKat) that has a true android gamepad attached.
A-PC GamePad <- check out my website for more details.
So what is it?
This is a solution to use your Nvidia Shield as a PC GamePad. There is an android app (client) that takes over the gamepad input and sends it over wifi to a PC app (server). The server app feeds a vJoy gamepad with the input from the Shield gamepad.
The android app runs in the background, so you can have any app run in the foreground. You can run Nvidia's GameStream or Splashtop Streamer and still control your PC. This app overrides the controls from the gamepad. This means you can stream your games even if your PC is not gamestream ready! You can still navigate the Shield with the touchscreen, back and home buttons.
Supports multiple controllers! I have only tested with two gamepads (Shield Portable, and Shield Controller), but it should work with up to 16 gamepads. If anyone has success with more controllers, please let me know.
Note that the vJoy app emulates a DirectInput controller, not an Xinput controller. However, you can run x360ce for Xinput games. I have found that this interferes with Xinput controllers attached to the PC at the same time. For now, this is going to be how it works.
I really want to hear some feedback so please let me know what you think.

This is what I've been looking for, thanks!
I'll check it out next week and give you feedback.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your app with us, i have a question, have you tried using steam with you app like 360 controller ? i will try to do that one i get home
Thanks again
