I have looked all over the place trying to find an app that would control windows media player or winamp or something of that nature via bluetooth. All the apps i have tried dont work. Anybody seen or heard of anything of this nature ? If not is anybody feeling froggy and would like to develop such an app.Id definitely throw some money your way if you managed to get it working. Basic controls such as rewind, fast forward play pause stop volume up/down. A bonus would be to see the playlist on the phone and be able to choose any song to play (basically emulating the "jump to file" feature of winamp). If we could get this to work on a htc hero that would definitely be worth a large sum of money.
EDIT: I apologize in advance if this is the wrong section for this but i did not see an "APP Development" thread.
ummm.... Gmote2, its been around since G1 days and works great as a media player controller, as well as a trackpad and keyboard.
Is there a reason you specifically want it to be bluetooth and not wifi?

Ive tried it and you have to see the mouse to control the pc and also if you use screen capture its not very smooth or efficient.

And i want it bluetooth bcuz i dont always have my laptop with my home wifi. And i have not been able to pair ad hoc between the laptop and phone. Bluetooth is fast enough to create such an efficient app and keep it highly mobile at the same time.

this is the HTC RC-W100 HANDSFREE MP3 REMOTE CONTROLLER ADAPTER.
i was wondering if anybody has this or something similar to this and does it work well with the dash, and all its applications? SPECIFICALLY Kinoma Freeplay? does it really allow me to control kinoma music player without touching the phone once i have the program running and already playing shuffle songs? i work out so id love to use this instead of forward thru songs and having to keep taking the phone out my pocket.

It says it's compatible, so no matter what music program you're using, it acts as your phone's buttons to control your music.
Hey all,
During my last few trips in the car I've been using the aux input of my stereo to play music via the TF3D music tab, and it's been great. I was especially impressed when a call came through, the music paused, and upon answering it was already set in speakerphone mode with the audio coming through the stereo. Of course, the large screen also makes it very easy to choose music while driving, without diverting too much attention from the road.
Anyway, that got me in the mindset to always play in-car music in this way, which made me wonder if there was any way to make music automatically play when the audio cable is plugged in (assuming something's in the playlist or paused), and then automatically pause when said cable is removed. It would save that little bit of extra messing about at the start and end of each journey.
It seems like something that could be done through mortscript, but my attempts at searching have come up empty and I'm not skilled enough to write something myself.
Has anybody ever got this working, or is willing to try writing a mortscript to do it?
Much thanks in advance!

S2P does this, it has settings that you can configure accordingly for it.

Where in S2P is a setting to enable this???
It's in S2U2 option..
There is a part for S2P 4 lines about it !
Well that explains why I couldn't get it to work just now. I'll download S2U2 too then. Thanks again.
No problem

hmm ok..
are there more options I should know about ?
I thought S2U drains the battery ... but maybe you can convince me
S2u2 works great. I wouldn't worry about the battery drain it is minimal. The settings to work with S2P are near the bottom. Also S2U2 is constantly being updated. You should check it out, since ver 1.52 it has gotten really nice with animations and a very nice notifications.
hey, i want to know if theres a way to swipe the zoombar left or right to change the song in htc sense music player while the screen is off and if its possible, could it skip the song no matter what program you are in at the time? i would like this since i never use the zoombar anyway, because its not really needed or used in most programs
thanks
Get the CAB for zoombarplus. That will do what you want.
it does exactly that? are you sure? i thought it just made it a d-pad
edit: nevermind, wrong app, but still im not sure about the app having these features tho, and im new to the registry
Having a d-pad will let you skip forward and backward. I'm not sure about if it will do it with the screen off. No program will let you do it if you have another app open... Obviously you can only control whatever is currently on the screen (the only thing I know that does let you control music anywhere is a headset).

Consider getting a set of Bluetooth headphones. Now only do you get the advantage of not having to deal with a cord, but nearly all bluetooth headphones have volume and track control buttons which work even when the phone screen is off.
what about a small bluetooth remote to change songs?
any recommendations for the tp2?
This might be what you're looking for. You need to plug in your headphones/speakers into the unit, but it gives you control of the music and should work with the screen off.

thats great thanx, i couldnt really find anything like what i was looking for, but this is perfect, definetely gonna check it out
edit: there are atleast 4 threads i have seen about the bt3030 saying it doesnt work with hd2, so im assuming it doesnt work with tp2 either
I noticed how on the Apple Iphones, there are these really nice shortcuts you can use with the button on your headphone to go forward and backward in music. I was wondering if there was some program that emulated the same kind of shortcuts. I found some headphones that claim they can do that with the iphone, but i would imagine it is a quality of the cellphone's program, not the headphones themselves.
So(to sum it up), is there some way to do it so when i press the headphone button twice, the song goes forward, and when i do it thrice, it goes backwards? Or if possible customize the buttons even more(so i can have some functions when i am calling and stuff)

would love to know more on this
Yes. PowerAmp supports this. Forward at least, unsure about going backwards.
As for a headset that supports this, I bought these after SIGNIFICANT research online (I'm an audiophile so I demand the best sound quality I can get) and am very happy with them. PERFECT sound quality with just a little EQ work from PowerAmp and the mic works for calls and to control the music player.

Most music players allow these shortcuts, even the stick music player. Just dig around the settings. I couldnt live without then, very very useful

Just like he said. Music players have their own settings as to what the "media button" can do. I believe you have the option to start and stop, or forward. Beyond that, I haven't been able to get anything else out of it.
I heard 2.2 was supposed to allow some more functionality but haven't seen much other than maybe assigning a different function for the media button. I use a pair from skullcandy.
They may say iphone but they are generally universal as to the connection just like you would find on different brands of mp3 players.
Yesterday I picked up a N7 with the intentions to run it as a CarPC like many others. I started playing with it last night, and immediately thought it would be neat to be able to use my phone as a remote for the tablet, just like it the remote for my car stereo works, so I can be outside of the car and still control the radio (yeah, it's an infrared remote, but it has a pretty decent range).
I started looking for something like this, but all I was finding was either VNC solutions, or using the phone like a video game controller. The VNC works...kinda, but it still seems a bit kludgy, at least with the VMLite Server/RealVNC client combo that I've been using. I'm sure I'm not the first one to think about this, but I wasn't finding it, and I suspect I just wasn't searching with the right words.
Realistically, all I'd really need is control of a couple media apps, like YouTube (I'll occasionally use it as an on-demand audio streaming type deal), Pandora/Slacker, and a media player, so I don't even really need a full screen mirroring solution, but I would like to have it show the name of the current track, or be able to select local music to play.

In my case I'm using Tasker + PushBullet to control my Nexus from my phone. On the phone I have a widget with a couple of buttons on it and when a button is pressed PushBullet sends a message to the Nexus with a single command which Tasker uses to perform an action. It was a little cumbersome at first, but now I have added many actions and I'm able to do it in no time.
Try Beyond XBMC. Plenty of remotes for it
Or you can also use ps3 remote with sixc axis app
