[req] Port Touchless Control?

So Touchless Control has been released on the Google Play store, is there a way to port it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.audiomonitor
I'm sure it'll find it's way onto other Android devices in the future :good:
Here's a third party app that does the same thing.

Open mic isn't as good by user reviews. And when I used it. +1 for porting touch less control

Yeah it isn't the same. +1 for porting touchless control but im worried about the negative effect it will have on battery life, the moto x has a dedicated language processing core for a reason.

Its at the bottom. You can try to download it from that crappy ass mega site that doesn't work and won't let you download it. Someone needs to put it on a better link.

Can Qslide be opened up to all apps instead of just the stock apps

My question about qslide is whether it can be opened up to all apps like how devs got Samsung's multi window functionality to work on all apps via root?
Is the qslide capability there for devs to tinker with or is LGs implementation proprietary? I would love to see slide available on all apps.
I'm also interested in this, and even willing to pay.
Maybe we should raise a bounty thread?
Could someone tell me the point of Qslide as opposed to using the recent apps button?

Yes using the Qslide app for texting while watching a youtube video may be very useful to you considering you can make the window transparent and text as your watching a video... think of it as samsungs multitasking but prompted differently
Qslide is not the same as slide aside. I think your confused with those 2.

I don't think so....although a developer might be able to create a ROM in the future for this.

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

This small addon is one of the major reasons I will upgrade from note 2. Anyone tried controlling AC ?

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

Just started looking into using the IR and noticed that app you pointed to is on sale this Easter.
I am using this

IR app besides the Lg one

Does anyone know of an IR app that will work other than the LG one ? Im running CM but I would love to have the remote function back. Thank you

IR is not just an app. It needs to be supported in the framework first.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk
I'm wondering about this too. Would Unified Remote work since it has IR functions now? I may just buy it and check because it's a great app regardless but if anyone knows of an alternative that does work with CyanogenMod I'd like to hear about it.

Read above, no IR app is going to work on any AOSP ROM at this point.
That's unfortunate. Back to stock I go then.

Doesn't the HTC One Google play edition have an IR remote app? (that is a question. I don't know)
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The HTC One Google Play edition does have an IR blaster app, but as stated previously no app can fix this - it is something that needs to be added into CM first.

[Q] (REQ) Watchon Type App

The only thing I miss from my Samsung is the Watchon app. I have loaded it on my G2 but of course the remote doen not work. Even the HTC M8 that I test rode for a week before returning it have a TV app built in like Watchon. Does anyone know of a similar app that will work on the G2 that gives a channel guild and working remote? Thanks for any leads.
I've been looking for something like that also for awhile and still haven't found anything that works like watchon. I'll keep looking until something comes up.
Maybe this.
