Use Wiimote as mouse controller (car dock)??? - Android Software Development

Is there a program that can turn a wiimote into a mouselike controller?? I like the ergonomics of the remote as a potential car remote for my evo.. I want to be able to control either the stock music app or Mixzing which has a built in EQ (volume, skip, menu selections).
The wiimote emulator control is awesomeness, but this mouselike functionality would really allow the wiimote to be used under two distinct types of activities and might add some more profit for the developer who kicks off the first release..
Thanks!!!

Media remote

Hi
I'm looking for app that allows me to play/pause music, and go to next/previous song in foobar2000 on my computer from my phone. pref. using tcp/ip.
I've spent some hours looking for it now, but i can't find anything that works with foobar, except full remote desktop programs.
Basically, I just need a way to remotely use the play/pause and next/previous keys that are found on some normal keyboards, i dont need covert art or anything. I'd prefer something free.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I don't know if this is the correct forum category to place this thread, please move it if it's not)

EVO Remote Music Control of HTPC

I'm looking for good app to remotely play music on a Windows 7 box, via my EVO. Basically like a music remote. I've seen Gmote, but that's VERY basic & super limited with features.
What I want to do is control the music on my HTPC, which is connected to a Onkyo receiver that has multi room speaker support. More or less, I have company over and I can pick up my EVO and scroll the list and pick something that plays.
I know that there is iTunes remote, http://www.appbrain.com/app/hyperfine.hftunes.release , but I don't want ruin a perfectly good windows box with iCrap
"Subsonic" http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp looks cool, but near as I can tell, that streams TO your device & doesn't allow for remote play control.
I run Boxee on my HTPC but the Boxee remote app is pretty much useless as it doesn't display anything other than song playing.
Any ideas? I'm looking for something that displays current song, album art and maybe even has a shuffle feature.

Install XBMC and use the official XBMC Remote. It actually works very well. It even shows album art. Plus it will show incoming texts and calls on the XBMC screen

Hmm...that does look pretty nice. Thanks!
This is way off topic...but shouldn't that remote support Boxee since it is based off the same open source that XBMC is built off of? It doesn't matter all that much, but it would be nice to just run one app for everything on the HTPC. I tried to sync it up, but either I have the cfg wrong or it isn't supported.
I have Remote Desktop and PhoneMyPc on my Evo. Both have their ups and downs, but both work great for controlling my library. I have my PC setup next to my TV/Receiver, so when I listen to music, I used to just carry around a wireless mouse and switch the tracks. But that means my tv was left on all the time, when alll I was doing was listening to music. Now I just carry my Evo around, and can browse the FULL library, type in songs into search, and control volume.

Only one way to find out. Should take you less time to try it than to wait for a response.

[Q] Acer Iconia App Modding.

Is it possible to make the NEMO-Player app for the dock OR the dock let the remote control other apps like RockPlayer and Pandora? or eveo the stock Music app?
P.S. If your looking for a keyboard mouse combo for this I highly Recommend the Logitech MK300 Because it does ALL the functions via the keyboard like HOME volume, and the Song changing. lock wake etc. Will make a video soon

Play music on computer from Tablet?

Hi,
I saw people doing this with their Ipad via Icloud and I was wondering if someone could tell me how do you control music from your computer with your tablet.
The 2 things I want to do are:
1) Be able to control the music that is on my computer from my tablet so it plays on the computer speakers
2) Be able to play the music from my tablet on my computer speakers. For example: I am in the kitchen and want to use the AUPEO! apps from my tablet but want it to play on my computer speakers
Thanks to anyone who can help
I am rooted and I use Thor V14.2
Maybe Gmote?
Gmote would be the way to go for your #1 comment. For #2, you could enable the Clear Fi on the tablet (not sure if Thor ROM kept it on there), which turns your tablet into a media server, and then your computer should be able to pick it up, and start playing whatever shared media is on the tablet (this is using DLNA). If the ROM doesn't have Clear Fi installed, you can find quite a few DLNA server apps in the market.
I personally use this foobar remote. Lets me control foobar over Wifi LAN/Internet and basically play music on my PC speakers.
I also use ES File explorer to play files from my PC on the tablet. Works over Wifi LAN or you could setup an FTP or remote login.
PS: As a side note, if you guys are a sucker for stats, this particular (Remote System Monitor) app monitors everything about your pc...hdd usage, cpu usage and temp, gpu stats, network stats etc. Pretty neat....yea and probably off topic
Hope this helps
I use "Media Center Control" (on the market, not free). Can play audio and video on TV from A500. Works perfectly. Supports WOL.

You might want to check out XBMC. I have replaced my Windows Media Center with it and have not looked back.
Over Wifi I can see my entire video/music library and control what is playing on the PC. It also has a neat remote control feature for pausing and the like.
You will need the client on the PC and the android client is free on the market.
VLC works great. Try that out
Unified remote (http://unifiedremote.com/) is awesome as it will do what you are looking to do in #1 and #2, it has built in remotes that control mouse, keyboard, winamp, vlc, wmp, file browser, and a myriad of others. I especially like that I can power off my PC with it.

[Q] Remote Control question.

Hey,
Is there a way to manually start the remote control receiver on the Atrix. I'd like to use the remote control that comes with the entertainment center when the phone is in the car dock. Also, there a way to manually start the entertainment center app. Thanks.
