\\ Development frozen because I've got more important projects to take care of right now .\\
\\ Don't get your hopes for this app to be revived , though . Way too much work to do for no actually productive reason .\\
This is a PRE-ALPHA release . This means that the app is NOT fully functional , at least not as I would like it to be , and should have some major bugs . Please keep this in mind when testing it .
I will make an official release in the "Apps & Games" section when the app will be stable and powerful enough .
As this app has been coded using C# & Mono for Android , feedback for C# / .NET developers who are familiar with the .NET workflow would be very useful . However , any kind of feedback will be greatly appreciated .

PRE-ALPHA
Requirements
First of all and to get it out of the way , beware that this is a CLIENT-SERVER setup . This means that you will also have to run an app on your PC for this to work .
A Windows PC and an Android (2.3+) device .
.NET Framework 4
A Wi-Fi router .
IN-DEPTH GUIDE TO USING THE APP
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT DOES OR HOW TO USE IT!
What does the app do ?
Briefly said : PC remote control . How ? Keep reading .
It basically just allows you to start / stop processes on your PC by sending predefined commands via Wi-Fi .
More functions coming after the app will exit the pre-alpha stage . Right now I'm interested in conectivity stability rather than functionality .
However , if you have any new idea about what kind of actions the app may perform on the PC , please let me know .
Setting up the client-server connection .
So first make sure both your PC and Android device are on the same Wi-Fi network (no Internet needed , just Wi-Fi) . Then start the server on your PC . At this point , if you have a firewall , it will ask you to give it permission to connect to your Wi-Fi network , just like this :
This is because the app is using Wi-Fi to receive commands .
Note : there should be a tray icon with a magenta-ish "m" icon in your task bar . This is how you can access the server settings .
Then , after you allow it to connect , fire up the client on your Android device .
The app will have 4 tabs : Server List , Console , List and Settings . The one we're interested in right now is the Server List . Make sure you're on it (it will start on it by default , but if by some chance you've change it , you can navigate through them by swiping on the screen or by tapping on their header names) .
Now the server's IP should appear on the list . Tap on it to try to connect . A prompt should appear on the PC screen with the device's IP Address and ask you whether you want to allow this device to connect . Press "Yes" and the device will be added to the White List (you can manage your White List by right-clicking the tray agent in the taskbar and selecting "White list") .
Okay so now it's time to make first contact with the server setup window . Here's where it gets interesting .
What's an "mLNK" ? Setup mLNKs and send them from your Android device .
So this is the main server setup interface :
... and even though it may make you feel a little trippy , let us concentrate on its functionality right now .
Note : you will not see the buttons labelled , I labelled them just for refference in this tutorial . However these notations actually do have a meaning in the workflow of the app . Anyways , moving on .
The first thing one would think of doing right now is clicking a button . Click one . You will see it light up and the "Current mLNK" field will change and will add its notation .
Now we can properly explain the way the app works .
So when you click multiple buttons , a string , or in more end-user terms , a chain of the pressed buttons' notations is being created . I gave these kinds of strings the nickname of mLNKs and from now on I will be using this term when reffering to them .
mLNKs are combinations of pressed buttons , both number AND order counting . Meaning A1 A2 is different from A2 A1 (if you try to , you will see you can't disable a button if it isn't the last one enabled) .
Each of these mLNKs can have a command linked to them . But best way to explain this I think is to try it yourself . Press A1 and then the middle round button (consider the middle button an "OK" button) (also , yes , there can be single-button mLNKs) . Now 3 parameters should appear on the right , speciffically "mLNK" , "Type" and "Param" . Right now the only two types of commands I implemented are "EXEC" , which in end-user terms means "start a file / directory / program" , and in dev terms means "System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(param);" , and also the command type "STOP" , which means "stop the process that has the name in the param" , or System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill();
Say we want to open "C:\" when sending the "A1" mLNK from our device . Just choose "EXEC" for type , type "C:\" in the param field and hit Save . Now you can minimize this . Let's move over to our phone .
So presuming the client-server connection has been made , now all we have to do is press A1 on the phone interface , then press the middle round OK button . This should send the command to the server , which should open "C:\" in the Windows Explorer . That's it ! You've just ran your first mLNK ! Now try doing it with files / programs as well and see what happens!
Security & Advanced Tips
Some may ask what TPBox.dll is . This is a .NET control I used for the console buttons , and because the app interface needs it , the app cannot run without it . Source for it can be found here (8th post , by Chris Vega , credits for it go to him) .
magentalinklist.xml contains the configuration for all the mLNKs .
I have chosen to save the White List in the .exe's internal settings , for security reasons .
Known Bugs
Design could be better - still working on it . Right now I'm concentrating on stability . After I have a stable app , I can photoshop the heck out of it
Possible conectivity workflow issuses I may have omitted . I am a newbie at working with sockets . That's why I try-catched pretty much all the code xD .
- tell me if you find more .
Usually you'll see message boxes pop up when there's an error on the server , or the green text in the top left on the client modify when there's an error on the client . Screenshot these and post them here , and please try to explain the thing that caused the error as accurately as possible for me to reproduce it .
I could also use some screenshots on different resolutions , just to make an idea about how to further work on the layout (I'm talking about the client) .
Future Plans :
Way more user-friendly (will implement this as I go)
Media player handling & media commands (play / pause / stop etc)
Command list on client (plain list , no mLNK console needed)
Internet connectivity via an intermediate server (this one's the last one on the list , even though I know it sounds the most fun of all , but be sure I will be implementing proper security for it when the time comes) .
... if you have any more suggestions , please let me know . Maybe you have an even crazier immagination than I do xD !

As I said above , any feedback will greatly be appreciated . This is my first major developed Android app and I know it's yet to have a professional look & feel , but I'm working on it alot and also enjoying it alot in the process , so expect alot of progress .
Cheers!

Looks Great!
I will test it tomorrow!
yeah well, a small problem is when you have all the buttons clicked, your toy is closing
you know, i think you know a very good teacher known as "Visi" and he know when " this is a bug"
so i will test more and will see, i am waiting for a not-wifi phase , but a very nice project, so thunmbs up and if you need a tester, just search me

Let's keep real-life topics , as well as that name , outside XDA xD
Thanks for the feedback nevertheless!
Waiting for more people to test this , maybe there still are some bugs I didn't see yet .
Also , if you don't want to test out its full functionality along with the server , at least please help me out with some screenshots showing the way the layout is being displayed on your screen . Make sure to include the screen size & resolution as well . I can only test it in a 4-inch WVGA & 3.3-inch HVGA , but when I'll be working on the design it would be useful to have a general idea about how the app looks on different screens , in order to make it as pretty as possible .
I'm currently using relative layouts , which imo work awesome for the positioning of the objects , but have major problems when it comes to scaling . I'm a newb at designing interfaces as well , but I'm starting to get the hang of it xD .
o yeah, i forgot, this is how it looks on my phone, LG optimus L5 , 320 x 480 pixels with 4.0 inches, so i think you need to do fix this
if i will see any more problems i will tell you
I will test
Downloading the app. I will test and reply tomorrow. A little late for now :cyclops:
Tested
Device : Nexus 7
Screen resolution : 1280 * 800 , 7 in
The server and client worked as expected. The server has to be opened after connecting the network because it won't refresh the IP.
After I closed and opened the server for second time, it showed this,
Then I couldn't connect to the server anymore. I had to restart the network.
My exec commands worked well.
My suggestions:
Can you scan the network and search for server rather than typing the ip address? (it is more user-friendly)
I'd like to see media control in the future.
A drag-and-drop into parameter would be nice.
Do you consider adding virtual touchpad and keyboard (there are some apps on Play store that says PC remote)
OK, that's my thoughts and hope you can fine-tune your app for stability.
I am familiar with vb.net programming and so I'll help you if I can
What IDE did you use for server application?
Thanks for taking the time to test the app!

I actually never thought of this , as I always had my Wi-Fi connected XD Will fix it .
Your attached images aren't working though , but I think I can reproduce the problem .

1 - I think so .
2 - Me too xD But I'll have to do some research on this one . It will be tricky to control a media player with .NET , but the way I see it , it may be possible .
3 - That parameter box was only for testing purposes to see if the commands work . I would eventually replace it with speciffic interfaces for every type of command . Haven't thought about D&D tho' , but it's possible and it's actually a great idea .
4 - I might . The thing is I'm new to Android programming and I also don't know Java , so I started out with Mono for Android , which is a layout designer also a C# compiler for Android applications .

MS VS 2010 , along with C# as a programming language , both on the server and on the client .
I've coded in VB some years ago but I'm not going back . The C# workflow and structure seems alot cleaner imo .
Also , the reason I've taken down the app and will re-design it is because the way Android layouts are designed and work right now make it impossible to design the interface I tried , and also make it scalable to all of the devices .
Being new to this stuff , I've done some research first , and thought using dip sizes would do the trick , but it doesn't . After experimenting with some other things , I've come to the conclusion it's impossible . Hell , you can't even do it programatically even if you wanted to xD !
The next design will be alot simpler and more user-friendly . No more eye-candy sliced circle console though
Tested out on my N7, and, aside from one random app crash after i connected, pressed B2, then ok (which worked flawlessly any subsequent time). Then there's some comments about interface, but i'm fairly sure you already know it anyway.
I'm a C# developer myself, and it seems i have more experience with networking in C#, so i'll gladly help you out with your application, feel free to message me
And i can also use any of my currently available devices (in sig).
Currently tested with: Nexus 7 (4.2.2 stock) + W7 x64
After some messing around with the client source & design , I have come up with a solution that will scale and position the interface bassed on the device's resolution .
How ? Well I'm crazy enough to hardcode the features into the app . At first I thought it would be a pain in the ass to have it positioned , centered and scaled from code , but after messing around with relative layouts , I'm kinda getting a "relative way of looking at the design" XD .
Hardcoding isn't actually be the best term to describe this method , but it isn't too pretty either . Anyways , I think I will release a new version in ~24h , or in 2 days at the latest , after I'll finish the new client design and also fix the server-sided design & connectivity bugs
Stay tuned!

I don't know why relative layout method doesn't work. If you want to scale up to device's screen, anchoring the controls to screen border would help. Anyway, keep going :good:
While testing your app, I had come into an idea of "reverse PC remote or Android remote". An app which can send commands to android device from a computer. It is like reversing your app. How's your thought? Is there already in app for such function?

It's possible , but I'll need to study the way Android works a little more . I'm alot more familiar with the Windows framework and programming style and so it's easier for me to do this first . But as I get experience during the development of magentaLink , I will most likely learn enough to do the reverse thingie as well . But it will be a while until that happens .
Anyways , as you can see , the next version will be delayed a little .
I've managed to successfully get the layout to scale programatically , but now I also want to add two more things before I release it :
-server list and automatic server checking
-commands list on the client , so it will be easier for people to know what they're doing . I will still keep the console tho' , for faster input .
So I HOPE to release it today but idk . The server scanner should be easy to code , but idk about the list . I'm going to need to look a little into ListViews or stuff that could be used as a ... list xD .

This time I am particularely interested in 2 things :
-screenshots with the Console layout , to see if the views scale & position correctly on different resolutions . (Note : expect pixelation . Current graphics are at about 300 square px) .
-functionality of the server discovery system . I want to know if it works for others as well , and especially what happens when you have 2 or more servers running at the same time on a network . The way it is now , I'm 99% sure it will NOT work , but I want to know what happens . Simply open 2 servers , each one on a different PC , both in the same network , and then open the client and tap on Refresh list and tell me what happens . I can't test this myself unfortunately because I only have 1 PC .
Waiting for your feedback , everyone!
// just got one bug reported - still regarding the layout scaling . Will upload a fix soon .

New screenshot
Server discovery and connection worked. Although I have two computers, one doesn't have WIFI. So I can't test 2 servers. I will test with my friend's tomorrow.
Possible problem: If the connection was cut off while using and then reconnect from the client, the commands did not work. (Client showed "Connection trial started" though). So if the connection restarts, the application has to be restarted too!
Version 0.3 has been removed from Dropbox and has been replaced with 0.3a .
The design is now fixed (except some very small positioning finishing touches , but now it scales and positions correctly) .
(no changes to the server btw)

I was making a major mistake , which I only realised after 2 days , after deciding to use an emulator to see what was actually going on .
The problem was that I thought DENSITY and RATIO are one and the same . However :
density = dpi . This also depends on the SCREEN SIZE (which I didn't actually realise) and not on the resolution itself .
ratio = the scaling factor that should be used when scaling images . I was calculating this by setting the default size for a HVGA display with a DPI of 100 (a density of 1) and then porportioning it bassed on the current device's resolution . HOWEVER this did not work because I was using the drawable.IntrinsicWidth / IntrinsicHeight properties , which return the size already scaled to the DPI . Back then I thought density = ratio , so I tried to get the default size of the image by using drawable.IntrinsicWidth / DisplayMetrics.Density . This WAS actually working on my HVGA and WVGA devices , considering that the HVGA one had a density of 1 and the WVGA one of 1.5 , which were exactly equal to their resolutions' ratio . But it still wasn't working on other devices , so this got me into thinking .
So I made an emulator for a Nexus 7 and noticed on the debugger that the "ratio" I was using back then was actually 1.3 , when it should have been 2.5 . Then I switched to manually calculating it , and the final formulas for the scaling of the images would now be :
Code:
w = drawable.IntrinsicWidth / density * ratio / 3
h = drawable.IntrinsicHeight / density * ratio / 3
(3 is just a constant , the default resolution of the images is too big)
Just thought this was a tricky thing that should be clarified in case newbs like me encounter such problems in the future . I will eventually post a lot more documentation regarding the positioning / scaling code and more , but that once I get it stable & working .
So now the layout should be displayed fine , as I said with a little bugs here & there . I still haven't received any feedback from anyone regarding trying to scan multiple servers at once . Note that when you'll do this , please spamm the hell out of the "Refresh list" button , in any way & order you could think of .
Now I can focus on actually coding the command list , which will be piece of cake considering I already have the reader code on the server , the list code on the serverlist and the server-client connection is working as well
Keep me updated and thanks alot for all your feedback uo until now !
magentaLink ALPHA 0.4 is now up! - DOWNLOAD
I haven't been able to work on it that much during the past 2 weeks unfortunately , since I'm quite busy with lots of exams right now . However , I've managed to take it to the next level , one way or another .
First of all , I'm taking it out of PRE-ALPHA and putting it into ALPHA stage . The most critical bugs are out and its stability is decent right now . It will hit BETA stage when I'm going to fully implement all the features I want .
Changelog :
-Server redesign - it now uses the same design theme the client uses .
-Improoved the server UI - especially the mLNK console , coded a function for extra-accuracy to get rid of overlay conflicts
-Added single-tap mode .
-Added the "Delete" function in the mLNK list
-Added refresh capability for the server IP
-Massive code cleanup - does the same stuff with half the work now .
-Butchered some more bugs & improoved stability
-Other minor changes and tweaks
The next thing I'm trying to implement right now is media control . I've done some research and it looks like it would be pretty easy to do . I'm thinking of programatically sending the media commands a media keyboard would send . This would be a lot easier than adding support for every media player separately and scanning them for their speciffic media commands & message params .
Stay tuned!

Downloading now. I was also off grid for a week because I accidentally cracked my Nexus 7 screen and replacing it.
Sorry for the late reply but I could not get the app work. I don't know what's wrong. I connected the network, refresh list, server was there and I clicked. But the connection did not seem to reach the server (no balloon from server side and nothing in allowed devices). . I don't know if it was only me. Have you tried the community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100406373096097711894 ?
Just wanted to let everybody know that the project is in no way dead , but the fact is I don't really have time for it right now.
The good news is , I will finish school in about 2 weeks , and after that , I will be taking the app to the next level . I already have lots of changes , features & tweaks planned , and soon I will also have the time to implement them . Stay tooned!

Noteriffic 0.53
Copyright (C) 2004 Rudis Muiznieks
Noteriffic is a quick little app I wrote because I felt that the PPC was
lacking a nice, simple, free note keeping/structuring application that has a
desktop counterpart....
All credit goes to Rudis, but now we have WVGA-Screens, so :
Could anybody of those famous and brave developers
compile this VB-Project for >> WVGA << ?
(Its working fine with QVGA and VGA)
Thanks a lot
Creature/entity appeared in mirror,
LOL
kahe40, I wanted to change something in this app the other day so downloaded a trial version of visual studio from MS plus dotnet compact framework. It let me edit the Noterrific source code and compiled a new version fine. I'm sorry I don't have time right now to work out incorporating WVGA, but thought you might like to know what I found out.
ps. if anyone wants the new source/compilation I can post. I simply added the ability for the app to remember which node it is on and return there next time it opens (otherwise it always ended up opening way down the list which drives me mad).
thanks ddk2, please have nice holidays, maybe later we can see...
what do you think about a dark grey background with white text ?
dont know, maybe there are problems with icons and checkboxes ?
and second: in settings, there is: use smaller font for list/display
would you please change to: use bigger font (only one step)
kahe40, did a very quick patch for you, no longer have large/small font, just textboxes so you can set your font size.
Source attached. Find exe's in each project (pda/desktop) in subdir bin\Release.
This version has my mods as described above.
Before you use it, take a copy of your data file (ntn ext) as mine was cleared out somewhere during testing and had to restore. I don't think its a bug, just something from testing, but take backup just to be safe.
Also did a quick test of grey background. Doesn't look that good to me, icons didn't come out well etc. Also presents issues that unless hardcode to grey, then need to make user option to set colour and that's a whole lot of frigging around....be my guest
very nice, good job, thanks a lot my friend
kahe40, don't know if you are still watching this but I just discovered I made a cockup in the last piece of code. I misinterpreted the use of one variable and the resultant problem shows up next time you go to add a node (I haven't added one for quite a while).
This version has corrected that. Also, changed the way I had it remembering which node it was on between sessions. Now saves with the apps variables (a sep file) rather than in the note file itself. Plus side is its much faster closing the app. Another sideaffect is that when syncing the file between pda and desktop, they each have their own memory of the last used node.
Yes, I am guilty my friend,
I traded my TouchHD for an iPhone, dont want to be banned from
this forum, but - man, oh man - what a wonderful OS ...
So I use the old version as shopping-list with my KS20 (QVGA).
Will test your new version soon, thanks a lot.
hello there
I've found this app some weeks ago to keep track of my actions on my work
Like a time log
Is there some some other app (free/paid) that does the same job.
I've found this one for ipod...http://ax.itunes.apple.com/app/id371157360?mt=8
shame that there isn't none for wm
Little utility for waking up / shutting down / rebooting or Logging off from the PC's on your network via you wm device.
Requirements;
# Wifi active on wm and connected on same local network as PC's
# Wake-On-Lan enabled on PC's
# allow http traffic on Port 7777
# obtain MAC Address for all PC's you wish to 'control'
# Multi form factor - check CAB name for correct version for your device
1. Install cab on device
2. Install the service via the msi installer on any PC's you wish to 'control'
3. Edit the WakeAndShakeConfig.xml on the device OR use the settings screen from within the app - enter your PC's IP addresses (or host name) and their corresponding MAC addresses.
09/02/2010 - Settings screen added (still needs some tweaking, a few navigation bugs)
Any Q's shout.
If you find this useful & wish to donate please see my sig button.
-=-=-
20/03 - update service installer
VGA Version?
Is there any chance for VGA version?
various form factors added, see #1
cheers,
dan
man I've been dying for something like this for a while... eagerly awaiting a QVGA version
Wish someone can make a Video Tutorial
on how to set this & post on youtube

Thanks for sharing
added QVGA cab - see post #1
updated the PC service - if user cancels shutdown subsequent shutdown requests will now be triggered
Hi dt_matthews,
it will be very amazing was it possible to skin it for DUSK.
I have seen the screenshot and i was thinking is this something what be possible in a future version?
added IP address to settings xml and config, this is required if your PPC doesnt have regsitry entries mimicking hosts file lookup, ip address will be shown in the machine drop-down list along with the machine name
added IP address to xml and to settings screen - this is required for PPC's that dont have registry entries which mimic hosts file lookups, these IP's are displayed in the machine dropdown along with the machine name
Been waiting for an app like this
To bad I can't get the settings screen to work, it won't save the data I type in to the host, ip and mac fields.
And the xml file is clean except from the settings tag so I don't know how to modify the parameters
Please help...
HTML:
<settings><machine name="machineName1" mac="071EB93CAD68" ip="192.168.1.87"/><machine name="machineName2" mac="0219DDAFC6B3" ip="192.168.1.85"/><machine name="machineName3" mac="001A437AA515" ip="192.168.1.65"/></settings>
This is a sample of a valid version of the xnml config. Just obviously change the name tags, the mac and the IP addresses to match your machines. then run the service installer on your machines and the cab on your device and you should be fine.
shout if its not clear
cheers,
dan
Thanx! Works a lot better when one knows the param names
Next problem
Can't get the HTTP Shutdown to run properly on the PC. It starts automatic but then stopps as it has no work to do (according to windows)
Suggestions?

that is as designed, its an http listener which wont be show as actively 'doing' anything by svchost.exe [service manager]. as long as you are connected to the same network (and workgroup) it should be ok. let me know
i've tried this on two machines now. on one of them it won't work at all. on the other i got it to reboot ones. but know it doesn't work anymore.
on both machines windows reports application error on shutdownpcservice.exe and wants to send an error report to microsoft.
in the application log (under computer managment) i used to see how the shutdownservice started to listen to port 7777, but not anymore. it's like it not running.
i've tried to reinstall the program but that didn't do it.
thanks for your effort Dan

hey dude,
i've updated the service installer (see post #1) - uninstall the last version (make sure the service is uninstalled fully, you may need to uninstall it from the cmd line if it wont uninstall via the GUI) then install the new version, that is the version i am running without problems, let me know how you get on, happy to help with any tweaking ;-)
Can this be used to put the PC to sleep (into standby) rather than shutdown? If not, could this feature be added?
Windows cmd line doesnt support sleep, but there is an alternative i could use (i think), but i cant do it straight away since my pc with the code on has just given up the ghost and it'll be a bit of time till i can get the data off it, but let me know if you can wait and i'll do it as soona s i can.
cheers,

Hi @ all
As already mentioned in the "3rd party ir app" thread, I'm working on a TV-B-GONE like app for the HTC One.
The app should be capable to:
• Sync tv-off-codes with an online database
• Send all known (in database) codes out through IR blaster
• Learn an off code and upload to database for other users
All these features maybe already work, but I can't test it as I don’t have my HTC ONE yet!
So if you wanna try, download it from and here and give me some feedback in the thread
• There is a good chance that the app doesn’t even start – I can't test any of the IR blaster related functions! – That’s why I need you until I get my phone :laugh:
• The app sends bug reports to me using bugsense – you can disable this feature in the options if you don't want to send reports! If you disable and get an force close -> please send me the logcat
• The database view is not fully implemented, you can list vendors and search for models but if you click on vendor / model nothing will happen
• Database sync on startup can be disabled in settings
• The Database is EMPTY now(except of one vendor), so don’t wonder if nothings getting synced
Used permissions:
• INTERNET -> For online syncing
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE -> To pre-check if sync is possible (not in flight mode)
Future:
• Making the app fully work.
• Making a universal remote app with database sync. So any user can scan his codes (not only power off codes), tag them, create remote layouts, upload schemes for a device, etc. Usable for any IR device (tv, hifi, Roomba, etc)
Changelog
(04.05.2013) Version 0.5:
• old IR blaster control
• send code when click on model name in model search box
(03.05.2013) Version 0.5:
• debug toasts
• new IR blaster control
• send all codes on main thread
(03.05.2013) Version 0.4:
• Bugfix where local recorded codes were not sent out
• Removed test buttons
• Learn-Timeout can be adjust in app settings
(03.05.2013) Version 0.3:
• New Send command used, maybe works now with "all off"
• Some test buttons to debug
(02.05.2013) Version 0.2:
• New Code format (sorry, had to purge the whole database). Old Version will not work anymore.
• Some Bugfixes
• Update check on startup
Download link of version 0.6

I'll take the plunge
Will let you know how it goes.
Theres already a new entry for a "dreambox" so recording codes (can) work.
Thx for trying!

Ok. So given her a spin.
nothing happened lol.
installed fine. I have a LG tv and a virgin TiVo digital box (made by Cisco)
when you go to the search box, enter just moves down to the next line. it doesn't "enter" if that makes sense.
See attached pics anyway.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info.
That was excepted - you see vendors "sony" (dummy vendor by me) and vendor "" (empty, ill catch that in the next version) which someone who uploaded a code for a dreambox. As mentioned before, database view is not fully implemeted, you only see vendors ("Sony" and "") and models("dreambox") which other ussrr uploaded until now. Please try recording an offcode for one of your devices
Cool.
Sorry, I must of originally miss understood. Thought you had just added Dreambox to the list of others.
Ill keep an eye out for when you add LG on there
Keep up the good work though. What exactly is the end purpose of the app?
From what I can see, it would be a perfect app for me to prank friends and family whilst at home messing with the TV "quickly" instead of going through setting up the tv first.
:victory:
Downloaded.
Was going to try with the TV at my office but its LG also.
Ill test at home with a Samsung and a Panny.
Hi and thanks for this app, i was able to learn 2 codes, it turned off my TVs when using "Test Code (ir)" button before uploading, but once uploaded (the Panasonic one and a Samsung one are mines) i can't use "all off!" command, i'm still stuck at "Sending codes : 4/10" and then it FC ...
Maybe you could add a tool to try code from database (when pushing on a brand name, sending all codes for this brand) and to avoid duplicates ...
ps : sorry for my english

Thanks guys for downloading and testing.
I think there is a little misunderstanding here -> i dont add vendors or devices or codes (at least not until i get my HTC ONE finally).
Its you, the useres, which upload codes. If you enter a model or a vendor which is unknown for the database, it will be created and then usable for everybody else.
@scarabe17
Thanks for the feedback. The force closes is becasue there are some wrong ir codes (data is invalid) in the database from failed uploads. will be fixed in the next version.
I have a lot of ideas what to implement in the app, and as mentioned before, the "tv-b-gone" functionalty (send all known off-codes) will be only a "special function".
The end purpose is an universal IR remote app, with community driven code uploads for all kind of devices and codes (not only power off).
There will be a "layout editor" where you can create your own layout with custom buttoms mapped to custom functions, and you will can share that with other users.
regards
antifish
This will be something cool
Please note, there is version 0.2 now!
Dont use 0.1 anymore, new codes will not work and upload will not be possible!
I had to purge the whole database (sorry to you who already uploaded a code) the format in database was a bad choice.
(details: i used java objectwriterstream to serialize the IR data, and if HTC will change something in that class it cant be serialized back without some trouble, so i changed to a json format)
also there should (hopefully) be less force closses.
and there is a check for updates, so you will notice when i upload the next version
uploaded my panasoic tv model
would be nice here to keep an update of model list cause apps, only show sony.
Also you should add a Vol + button cause at the end its more annoying in shops to set volume to the max than turn tv off

Can you please sync the database (with the sync icon in the actionbar). At least the Panasonic should apper now, as you uploaded it!
(Sony + Pansonic are the only two venors in the database now)
db synced, model showing, but not working.
you should apply for htc ir api for get codes, cause if you fill the db only with ppl having a htc one member of xda, i doubt you ll reach 50 models
Tried to learn my LG Remote. Got 3 different error-messages.
"Out of Frequ"
"Timeout"
and something with "Pulse"

what do you mean with "not working"? The database view actually does nothing when clicking on a model or vendor, thats not integrated yet. The only thing which should happen is that when you press "all off" it should turn off your tv :fingers-crossed:
I have the HTC IR API but it does not provide access to the integrated code database (or i don't know how). I'll decompile a ROM to look after the codes when i have time, maybe i find something! Its no easy to try these things as i dont have a HTC ONE at the moment (still waiting)...
I hope that the next HTC models will all have the IR blaster integrated! And when the app is ready i hope that it gets more response and codes in the play store.
When i got time and be in the mood i'll have a look at the galaxy S4, as it have an IR blaster integrated too, and it would be nice to have an app that support every pontetial model.

how often did you tried to learn the code?
I'll make the timeout variable in the next version.
Maybe it works better in a darker room?

Okay, maybe the data is corrupt (in the database), the scanning of the IR code is not as good on the ONE
as desired, or there is a bug in sending the codes.
Can you please learn the code 2..3 times again? I'll can compare the data then and see if the scanned data is
always the same
Oki i ll try

Dual 11 re-launch three: a master lock screen diversity, was supernatural theme fresh
Previously said, Baidu cloud ROM can fit the theme package on the market mainstream, especially with a grain company named works. But slightly less than that, we were not recognize and parse them in the lock screen theme package configuration file, so even if you apply these topics can not see the lock screen which contains.
From this ROM , we can already parse lock screen file and allows you to enjoy these lock screen way up. You download and apply a theme package, which contains the lock screen mode immediately.

Recommended: Launcher lose weight first screen Speed-
Many cloud Friends complain first screen performance is not good, in this ROM , we do some optimization. The main means that some of the non-essential work on the launch later choose, rather than a whole thing will come ready. By means of this optimization, we can speed up your boot into the first screen speed. Of course, we will continue to work in the operating performance, time will tell.

hi, is this rom multilanguage?
Trying in a moment... Hope it has better perfomance and other languages than China...
From what i read, "baidu" is Chinese company modeled similar to Google and that these Baidu roms they release are optimized for those Baidu services. So I was expecting this rom to have all their Baidu content in it.
Okay, just flashed, everything went fine, lets see how it runs...

Okay... The rom itself runs pretty smooth in home screens and settings. But one big problem is Google apps. They arent included, and when i try to flash newest 4.2.2 jb gapps zip, i cant use phone because it gives google services crashed error popup. When i flash 4.3 gapps zip, it doesnt crash but google play says "no connection". Im trying to find a solution on this, tell me if you know something...
Okay, tested it for a hour. I didnt manage to get gapps working, so this rom is useless for me. From Antutu i got 13700. As i said before, UI worked smoothly, but the phone has still some elements in Chinese, even when i switched system language to English. There was Chinese, Englih and Spanish. With google apps and little perfomance boost (>15000 score) and fully english UI this would be best rom for P6 atm.

Ok,so no have solution
Wow, I have just installed this ROM and have played around with it for a while and I must say it is as interesting as hell !!
Very fast and unlike any UI I have experienced. I have not tried to install a gapps .zip as it seems not to work so I tried to install a Google Play Store .apk but for some reason it wont open, maybe some kind of restrictions. All other .apk's install and work fine. I synced my Gmail acct. all good, sycned my contacts (using .vcf file) and all good.
Lots of Chinese stuff I dont understand but I'm having fun just trying everything.
Overall for someone like me who uses my mobile for texting, calling and basic fun stuff this is a really good ROM with some serious eye candy.
If you want to try something really different give this a go.
Cheers, LL13- :victory:

A Developer Edition of Baidu Rom: http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8514214-1-1.html

http://d-h.st/orl
you might have a multilingual version?
I can't install it. The installer says <waiting for device>, phone just shows the "Huawei Ascend" slpash and nothing happens. Can anyone help me? I really want to check this rom out.
_________________________________________________________________________
Managed to install it. The rom is really cool. UI is smooth and beautiful. Too bad google services don't work and it is not fully translated.

Hi everyone .
I started a new project for now it named Google Maps Unofficial. It's a C# based app that use MapControl to show Google Maps on the app not like other apps use a simple WebView or a HTML code behind .
I need some developers to help me in completing this project. .
Project Updates :
Update 4 : Now Version 1.35 Alpha is available and pervious versions removed from attachments. see the change log on post #15
Update 3 : Now you can download V1.20 Alpha in attachments and you can see details of this version at #13
this time app is available for both PC and Mobile Platforms (X86,X64 and ARM) maybe it should be deployed on XBOX and HoloLens too.
Update 2 : Now you can download V1.15 Alpha in attachments and you can see details of this version and known issues at #11
Update 1 : Now You can select region to download offline map.
Developers with this skills
MVVM knowledge , Google Maps APIs , MapControl and UWP Experience .
Projects on GitHub:
Current app on GitHub
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps
Class Library (SDK) for developers :
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps.SDK
NuGet library :https://www.nuget.org/packages/GMapsUWPSDK
I implemented some basics like showing map in satellite mode and normal road mode and traffic view .
everyone with the mentioned skills and ready to help please let me know in pm or here on topic .
Regards
gMaps is a very good google maps client, the only problem is that offline navigation doesn't work. If you can't make that work in your app, then... Any effort is useless. But, don't let my comment discourage you to develop, but keep that in mind.

I implemented a class for offline using but there are some bugs presents.
but the first thing I'm looking for is offline map usage (at least map only without navigation)
If I solve the saving offline map I can look for things like offline finding directions and etc.
All the best

I may not help you in code as I am not a full-fledged developer. But I hope you get success in this project. This will be a very good contribution to our phones as the Windows Maps is bad after Creators update.

yes exactly . after creators update windows maps get awful and exactly that's why I'm thinking about building this app .
I hate google but Microsoft forced me unfortunately
As an update for project detail I have to say I finally completed the offline map downloading .
You have to select a region for downloading the offline map and it will download .
Please let me know what you need to be prepared for the first release .
For now I need your basic needs (things you can't live without them lol)
Excited for release.

I don't say I want these all features in first release. You can take your time . I want favorites places to save like Work and Home. And Yes.....organizing those saved places into collections just like on HERE Maps apps. Also driving and Voice navigation can be a part of it.
Wish you all the best for release.
Good idea, my friend! Would you mind to create class library with NuGet package, and share sources on github? I believe this project might be interested for many devs (who still code stuff for UWP of course ).

I didn't share it on git hub but I will do it and also after a bit cI will share it as a DLL or Nuget package too .
I know many guys need this and love to use it in their apps
wao, good luck!
As a very soon pre-release I Will share you the appx on first post .
It contains :
Showing maps as I mentioned in default Road view and Satellite view
and it supports showing traffic and transit
It supports downloading offline map and if downloaded a region offline package if you are offline app automatically use offline map .
Known bugs and issues :
1 - Download Map page : when you select points, Pointers doesn't show the correct position that you selected (they stick to top left of map) but that's ok
2 - Download Map page : Progress Indicator fills many times until download complete, because it show progress of download in each zoom level that app trying to get and it's not showing really true value of progress! I mean it's not reliable at all!
For understanding when download complete wait until app show you Download Complete message
As this app is a very very very first alpha build do not select a large region for downloading offline maps. Please select a region like a City, not bigger. For example Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi, Iran offline map is about 22 - 35 MB (about ~7K to 9K files) depend on the exact region points you selected.
Because of large number of files to write it may takes very long to download much more than 30 - 40 MB but looking for some workarounds.
Good News Maybe :
if app crash ( I didn't see ) or you close app or etc. that cause canceling the map download You can re-select the region you selected before this time app only check for the files downloaded before and continue progress from un-downloaded content
Thanks
OMG. That's really great to see the first pre-release hit over 850 downloads a day.
I added the walking mode navigation to app , how to use Simply find where you want to go on map and hit the point !
Map showing you the way to get to your destination .
Change log :
-Fixed continuse location using after closing app
-Added Walking mode navigation
-Minor fixes and improvements
Appx file and it's dependencies will be added to the #1 post.
What will I want to add in next build :
a better offline map download (not downloading tiles over zoom level 20, Zoom Level 17 is enough I think)
and maybe I use the Icon I attached for next release
Also I added an Insider group in Telegram Messenger that I will provide you the link of group to join me and I really want developers join me to complete it's alpha ring features.
Now Application Source code is shared on GitHub
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps
NuGet Library and Class Library (DLL/Winmd) to work with Google Map APIs will be available soon too.
We have an insider group on Telegram Messenger you can join there for updates and keep me updated with bugs and features you need . There should be a better communication with you and other users .

Don't use Telegram for bug tracking! Use GitHub, it has all capabilities (not an industry standard level but enough for open source fun projects).
