I wanted to request a sub-Forum for Android Mini Pcs. Devices like MK808 MK802+ AK-212 and so on. It is a very interesting android device with no display but hdmi output. you can use it with your tv. and you have full access to android-market and everything else.
thanks in advance
Please use the **New Device Forum Requests** thread for any such requests.

Just started using this and I think it is awesome. You can use you're phone as a mouse and keyboard what is really cool is on the glide the hardware keyboard works well. You just have to instal a software on you're computer then gmote from google play. For a media center PC this rocks!

Unified remote (pro). Does everything gmote does along with support for dragging and it keeps the connection alive in the status bar. Also it as like a billion other remotes included (notably file manager and vlc remote).
gmote allows for dragging simply press the mouse button top right then drag. Guess their are many of these out there. First 1 I try that I like is gmote but I am sure others are just as good.
Oh right. Forgot about that button. Don't get me wrong, gmotes decent. I used it for the better part of two years. I just got sick of having to reconnect to the server all the time, especially when switching from phone to tablet and back.
Good to know. I'll give it a try with my xbmc box. Sometimes I do need to go back into windows for some stuff. Otherwise I'm happy with the xbmc remote on android .

Phone My PC and Advanced TouchPad are good as well.
They auto connect to the ip address given, and the both have mouse and keyboard. Plus Phone My PC let's you see the desktop from anywhere in your home(good for keeping an eye on your kids).
Unified Remote (free) - no remotes to try, gmote - no bluetooth. Other favs?

Tried Unified Remote based on this recommendation, but despite showing many free remotes to try in the description, no remotes are present except for buy now.
Looked at gmote, but no bluetooth.
From what I see in the description, Phone My PC doesn't do bluetooth.
Advanced TouchPad also doesn't appear to be bluetooth, and really does appear to be touchpad focused, with only a few very plain looking keys beside it. Which is fine, just not what I'm looking for.
(First driving reason for search - Impress remote. And if one is going to go down the 'remote' path, it may as well be as flexible / capable as whatever is out there. i.e. Given the other similar apps out there, no point going for something that only does Impress.)
UPDATE CORRECTION: Free remotes are present. But if portable version loaded from a network drive, Windows won't load the .dll's - which appears to the Android user as though no remote controls are present. [Serves me right for remote controlling a machine via VNC - missed the quick .dll load failed message!]
Tried unified remote and I like it.I have infrared on my computer from a uirt and am thinking of getting the pros to control my surround sound.anyone tested that? I read it was supposed to support it but I could not find the app to learn the it codes.

Its play link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Relmtech.Remote and contains a support pointer to http://www.unifiedremote.com/.
On their page is a Hardware link along the top, going to http://www.unifiedremote.com/hardware, at the bottom of which they show a USB-UIRT and more information. $50 + $8 S/H.
So, it would seem to be confirmed that it supports it. It talks about a forum being at http://65.36.202.170/phpBB2/. And also points to http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=26 and http://www.avsforum.com/ for additional information.
'UIRT' - Universal Infrared Receiver Transmitter, so there must be an emitter in the works. The page talks about Girder (http://www.promixis.com/), $50 / $100 / $150, Standard / Pro / WHT - all Windows only.
I would guess you use Unified Remote to tell the pc to emit the codes to your equipment. I'll bet it will take time to train yourself to pick up the glide and not the remote. (Or hide them on yourself. Not sure this would help with a problem I have - perpetually picking up the wrong remote and wondering why it's not working. Only to get blasted by the radio station when I thought I was changing channels!) :laugh:
HTH.
Smart IR Remote for HTC One 1.3.2
You can now use your phone as an Infrared Remote (IR Remote)
Why should you need to use more than one remote for all the devices you own ?
With Smart InfraRed Remote for your HTC One, you can add, create and customize any number of remotes, combining controls from any of your existing remotes. Imagine a single remote on which the CHANNEL UP button controls your Set Top Box from your TV provider, the VOLUME keys control your home theater system and the arrow keys control your TV's menu.
On top of all that, since you're holding a phone, why not use some of it's unique features?
AUTOMATIC MUTE WHEN YOU GET CALLED
Don't you hate it when you receive a call but can't hear the other person because the TV is too loud? Now, Smart Remote can automatically mute your current device when someone calls you.
FLOATING REMOTE (CHATHEAD)
Why should you need to switch apps just to send a command ? Activate Floating Remote in settings, and have a chathead-style remote available just one touch away!
BACKUP / RESTORE
Do you switch ROMs often ? Or maybe reinstall apps daily? The backup/restore feature will help you save your remotes, so you can get them back when you install again, without going through the setup process again!
MACROS
With our new advanced macro system, you can execute a series of commands one after the other (like turning on TV, then switching to HDMI 1), add customizable delays between commands, and reorder the commands as you wish.
AUTOMATED TASKS
Extra flexibility in customizing tasks, like sending any command you choose (like MUTE or POWER OFF) at a time of your choosing, or when your phone rings. Feel free to send us other actions upon which you would want to send IR commands!
With infrared - IR Blaster - already included in your phone, why shouldn't you make the most of it? Smart Remote can control your TV, Set Top Box, Lights, Projectors, etc.. Virtually anything that has an Infrared Receiver can be controlled by Smart Remote with the correct remote codes. And we're working 24/7 on adding more! Actually, we're working on adding DSLR camera support right now!
Link: MOD EDIT: Link Nuked (No Pass rar).
I actually purchased this from the play store when it was up there. I liked the app and wanted to support the DEV. I wonder why it disappeared.
I think he said he didn't have time to work on it anymore so he made it open source

While that may be true, I have heard that a different developer has filed a complaint with Google because this app would have stolen their database with IR codes. Too bad since this app is way easier to use than the app from the company who complained about it. Not even mentioning the candy - this one looks very nice, much better than that other app which I shall not mention the name of.
By the way, the file posted above is version 1.3.2 while the developer has MOD EDIT: Link Nuked as well. If it comes back in the Play Store I recommend to support the developer - at which time this link should probably be deleted.

Could you pls tell us / me where you got this info about stolen database or why the app isn't in the playstore anymore? I found nothing on the web and wanted to be sure, that this file isn't uploaded "wrong".

Thank You
Someone post apk fudge a rar.

Negative, this thread is not gonna happen. No way, no how. A paid app from Google Play or once was on Google Play should NEVER be posted freely about XDA, unless by the developer himself.
If you are the developer of this app and come across this thread, please contact me or another moderator, thank you.
Apparently the samsung galaxy tab 3 7.0 does not support the OTG or host mode feature.
been looking around the web and some say it is a hardware prob and other think it is a software prob.
Hope there wuld be another kernel supporting this feature
Just wanted to inform those owing this tab of this lack
Post on the general section. Development section is for thread pertaining to new modified roms which apparently you dont have.
I agree on it being the software part, tried to give this a go with the ps3 sixaxxis app the controller registers but just would not respond. Tried attaching a usb stick on my otg cable attached the tab and no dice.
Just what I needed after 2 frustrating days (since I have the watch) of not being able to write short answers to incoming messages directly from the Moto 360

For some reason the link loads extremely slowly right now - I couldn't test it yet, but maybe others have more luck. Looking for opinions ! )
Edit: I managed to download it from an US remote server, I have attached it to this post.
