For those of you who don't know, Boxee is a new media center application, developed by the same people who already brought us XMBC.
And it's awesome.
Now, the only thing I really need for it now is a good remote, and my Diamond would serve the purpose perfect. If there was a WM app for it.
Since there are already Boxee remote apps for Android, iPhone, Nokia, PS3 (you can use the SIXAXIS as a remote) and Palm, and a Blacberry app is in the works, I can't help but wonder why there isn't an app for WM yet.
Is it that hard to develop?
Is there anyone who's working on it, maybe? Or would like to?
Re: EraserHR
Hi EraserHR.
I don't have a app for what you need but personaly i use GRemote and a custom made skin/config to control both Boxee and XBMC.
I attached my configuration and an readme file. Hope it helps.
Ah jesh, i didn't even know you can do custom made skin/config for GRemote. I bought it but always wanted to be able to expand more in some ways (like you did). Thanks for mentioning that. Going to look at yours and check it out. Thanks!
Ah, shoot. That was MobileSRC i was thinking about that i bought. I remembered after looking at the files (great program honestly, BUT i liked and bought MobileSRC since it controlled via bluetooth, but didn't need anything installed on the PC to work, which works great for system's that you don't want to have to install a PC side solution to do the same thing, and still gives you g-shock air remote, bluetooth KB control, basic MC remote functions, and bluetooth mousepad -like laptop- functions.)
Mabye an App
I have some good news. I started making an XBMC remote. It should work with Boxee to! But it doesn't use Bluetooth, instead i opted for the devices internet connection and the built-in http server in XBMC and Boxee.
It's coming up pretty well but i am far away from a release. I will notify you guys on this tread when i am finished.

My lad has a sony ericson K750i and he has a built in app that means he can connect to the home PC and use the phone as a remote for a number of PC based apps such as media player, the desk top etc..
Has any one seen anything like this for the Orbit?
Under Windows Mobile 6 you can use Remote Desktop Service to Remote Control your PC, with Windows Mobile 5 it is Terminal Services i think. Other software, for example Remote Amp, lets you Remote Control Mediaplayers like iTunes or Winamp, so Yes, there is Software like that, and i dare to say, that these programs are much more powerful than the Sony Ericson thing is
I use tightvnc on my desktop computer and pocket vnc viewer on my pda. You simply need to install tightvnc on your computer, set up a password and set up my firewall to let me get in.
I use another tool to use wake on lan, with this I can even turn on my computer (need to be enabled in bios) when I'm in range and then access it. There are a few versions out there, check out the big freeware pages, you will find it. It's like you are using your computer yourself, everything can be controlled.

Just done a bit of digging on this and found it is in the WM6 Pro version but not in the standard version. Does anyone know if this can be retro installed on a standard version ?
Many thanks........
I installed it on my device, I didn't try to get a connection but the application starts up. I still prefer other clients, that's why I didn't try to establish a connection. I found the cab somewhere in another forum, I think it was Wizard or Hermes forum in one of those "kitchen"-threads.
BT Remote on k750i uses Bluetooth HID Profile and acts as virtual keyboard. It has nothing to do with Remote Desktop and is much less battery expensive than it.

There`s an application called "NET SUPPORT CONTROL" that makes magic.You can command everything of your pc from your phone or rather control your phone from your pc.
Salling Clicker ?
But Netsupport is something similar to VNC, but more options and it isn't free. imo Netsupport is a nice tool for a company that needs
remote controlling all the devices. we also use it in our company to support our clients.
I think he's searching something like Salling Clicker ?
Dunno this tool, it isn't free...but sounds like something you're searching for...
oh yeah, a free alternative would be nice
Cheers

I use LogMeIn FREE version, and it works perfectly through WI-FI or GPRS. It works with Both Macs and PC's. I use it on Windows XP and Vista Machines and can tell you it works great! Small screen, but works in a pinch when you are away from home and need something important on your home computer.
It also allows remote control from PC's to PC's. As far as I can tell, it allows unlimited clients on the Free Version, but I may be wrong there. I have about 10 client computers in my account, and can access them any time I need.
You can get it free here:
http://www.logmein.com
There is also Remote Control Software from Microsoft that I've tried a few times, but not nearly as easy to set up in my oppinion.
And there is the VNC method, which works fairly well, but again, not nearly as easy to setup.
Good Luck!
PS: I have tried a LOT of Remote Control Software, and always come back to LogMeIn... I prefer the free version over most pay software.

The software you see in that video can be found here, I believe:
http://blueshareware.com/bluetooth_remote_control.asp
Although, I am not positive if the Java on the Trinity supports it, you will need to verify that.
I just found another designed for Windows Mobile:
http://www.jaylee.org/category/Bluetooth-Remote-Control.aspx

if its specifically media center control from your WM you were after then Windows SideShow runs on your WM via bt to your desktop and allows you to control core media center functionality. cool stuff.

I know that Novii Remote does this, but the IR in our Trinity's is not very powerful, so you have to be really, REALLY close to your TV for it to work. There might be other software, but I've tried this one.

Edit: Ok, I just found some others, but I've never tried them...

COM1:S2410 IRDA
COM3:Infrared Port
what I select?
Hi Everyone,
Apology for not going through all threads before posting this new one.
Recently I bought a Logitech Harmony one remote control and I really love this remote. It comes with a Logitech manager which you need to install on a pc or laptop. With the remote manager you can configure the remote with all kind of tasks by selecting your device from an online database. It then downloads a preset of functions which can be modified if needed. I can spend all night telling you about this remote but that will keep you from reading this thread. I would like to suggest to have a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TRPP4RK8J4 (en come back to read the rest)
Why not combine this excellent feature with you mobile device?
Who has the ability to build such an application? Or perhaps someone already build one? Or is there a good freeware/shareware?
Please post your experience in this thread
The HD doesn't have infrared. Sorry. End of.
In addition to it being pointless as the Touch HD has no infra-red, many devices that do have infra-red only have a short range diode with a usable distance of about one metre, so are practically useless as a remote control.
There are plenty of remotes for the HD but they don't work with old tech that require IR. You need to move into the 21st century and use a MCPC or MCPC's as you can wire up your whole house to one remote if you like. I've not found one that works with x64 that I like yet so I wrote my own.
Changing the music while you are cooking out on the barbie is pretty impressive.

Now that is a pitty.

Thanks quys.
I use remote desktop from my tilt2 to manage a data center.
I have several annoying issues. I would like to know if any of you have a solution for:
1) I need to ability to /admin or /console into the server.
2) ZOOM into the remote desktop session.
3) Switch to landscape and portrait while maintaining screen ratio.
A freakin Iphone can do this. It can't be that difficult to get this to work on windows mobile 6.5. Does anyone know how to modify the remote desktop client to achieve this? Or write a new remote desktop client?
Using another solution that requires an agent to be installed on the server is not an option. Also, using shadow is not an option.
Thank You!
ya go an pay for VNC
Though it isn't related to remote desktop mobile, if you can SSH in to your data center, you could always try pocket puTTY.
Like I said I don't want to install anything on my servers. I want to use the built in remote desktop solution on the windows server on port 3389.
This currently works I just can't zoom in from my tilt2, and can't connect to console session. Also no ability to save connections as "favorites". Very limited RDP client. Seems someone would have developed a custom RDP client for WINMO since RDP is the #1 method for maintaining a windows infrastructure.

Open remote desktop, make your connection, then on the server run tscon.exe 0. This will connect you to the console session.
I typically start my rdp sessions with the keyboard slid out, so that I can use it for logins and so I can put my device down while I am working and still see the session. So I have not flipped back and forth.
What would be even more useful is if I could get a bt mouse/keyboard to work with the Tilt2....still searching for that fix. RDP without a mouse is a bit of a bummer.

You could try Bluemouse. It's a program which allows HID compliant bluetooth mice and keyboards to work on your device. But use the trial before you buy it, since I'm not sure it'll work due to the Widcomm bluetooth stack used by the TP2.
bump this, Is there a way to get the slider bar to zoom in and out of a RDP connection. Also, people are saying to pay for VNC, is VNC better does it support zooming with the zoom bar or does it support zooming in general. My desktops resolution is 1920x1080. I had a app on the iphone called jaadu and it worked perfectly with ultra vnc. It supported zooming and panning.
Remote Desktop
All we need to fix the Remote Desktop problem on the Tilt2 is for someone to modify the zoom slider so that it zooms not only on web or photos but on Remote Desktop as well. Should be simple!
I use RealVNC, which is great, but I saw another VNC program that allows drag scrolling (instead of scrollbars) to view the rest of the screen. I'll look up what program that was.
In the meantime, watch this YouTube video of Remote Desktop on the HD2. It looks very nice!! But I wonder if it is a feature of Windows 7 that has that interface, or a new RD app. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM
edit: That other app is called MochaVNC. Really cool features!
Very nice! Exactly what I am looking for except I don;t have an HD2. I have a Tilt2. There has to be a way to make that work with the Tilt2 using scroll bars instead of the "pinch to zoom"
Right, exactly what I love about it! I have a Touch Pro 2 (same as you, but on Verizon), and although we don't have multi-touch, the scrollbars would be great.
I was looking for this exact thing. Zooming with the zoom bar would be fantastic.
Also, does anyone know if I can connect using L2TP on the default client?
Has anybody tried the HD2 version of Remote Desktop to see how it behaves?
Update:
Here is a copy of Remote Desktop Mobile from LEO ROM 1.48.405.2 (WWE). I don't know if this is the one with 'pinch to zoom' or not.
It is in OEM format copied from \SYS\.
Its not working. I looking for the same solution with a small navigation window :/ and cant find any. Someone know from where we can get the same Remote Desktop Control with small navigation window ?
I use T2 Remote Touch which you can find thread here.
I have paid for the pro version, but you can also use a free version. Hope you find this helpful.
we just had a thread relating to getting PS3 controller drivers for Windows mobile.
I have been using my Wii remote to play games on my N95 for years now. I wish I had the technical know how to even begin trying to port over to windows mobile.
It might be a bit greedy starting a whole new thread for this but I just wanted to have something on the dev forum clearly stating there is a requirement for Wiimote drivers.
The Wiimote has 5 buttons on its face. A proper joypad, accellerometers and also level tracking gyroscope thingys. It is also small and cheaper than most other Big company pads i.e. 360 pad and PS3 pad.
There is also the added bonus that many people on here will probably have Wii's in there cuboard doing absolutely nothing like mine was (until I hacked my Wii mehehe with bannerbomb)

Kind regards all
But first you need to manage to connect to the wiimote. I just can't get past the security code on my Raphael. BTW i have being using glovepie with wiimote for years now. I wonder it is possible to port pc version of glovepie to PPC?
there is an app on the andriod marketplace for that I saw... haven't tested it but obviously it must be possible
Yeah I remember some discussion of this a long time ago in regards to game console emulators like Morphgear. It would be especially useful for touch screen phones without buttons like the HTC Touch HD. This definitely would be awesome!
Have to jump in and give this thread another bump please get inspired this could be the best thing to happen to the PPC

Hi guys,
There's actually a Wiimote like bluetooth controller for windows mobile. It's called Zeemote.
It's for symbian, nokia, blackberry and iPhone but it will soon be ported to windows mobile. (currently in beta-testing)
