Hi,
Is there any way to update the supported devices list on quickremote ?
I was on lollipop and now I back to cloudyG2, and I know that quickremote on lollipop have much devices than the one on cloudyG2 and stock kitkat too.
You don't really need the big list of compatible devices. QuickRemote lets you learn from the devices remote control. My TV wasn't in the supported devices list, but I just made my own control by teaching it.
Quickremote for aosp
Will it ever be possible to use quick remote for cm12 with control of all devices like ac, projector, etc.

There is already a AOSP port that works (I think its a port of the G3 QuickRemote) but as well as it's huge list of supported devices, it has the ability to learn so you can use it for whatever
I know but i mean like in my screenshots

I emailed a few devs for apps I either use or would like to use asking if they will be taking advantage of the IR API. I suggest others do the same if they want to use the IR feature in apps. I can control a couple of my home theater devices using their own wifi apps but it would be great to control the rest using IR.

Has anyone looked at the IR API yet? It's considered a partner one, so you have to request access to it from HTC. I'm assuming there's just train/transmit methods, but I'm curious if there's anything else (and how easy it is to use).

You can get access to the IR API if you are a partner from HTC. But all the informations about the API are confident. So nobody is allowed to tell you exactly what's in the API.
IR is such a useful feature and so highly standardised globally it won't be long before there are loads of IR apps available.
Hopefully IR is here to stay on phones and hopefully IR will start to appear on tablets.
Hi there,
For now, Android Wear only supports swipe gestures on the touchscreen.
It would be awesome to be able to - for example - turn your wrist to trigger actions.
Does anyone have any information to share regarding gesture detection using wrist movements with Android Wear?
If official support won't be available anytime soon, do you think this can be enabled via custom ROMs?
How hard do you think it would be to implement gesture detection from the moment a custom ROM for a certain smartwatch is available?
Considering Android Wear is... well, Android, and Android has all the API functions to get data from the accelerometer (And lots of helpful development sources), I assume it wouldn't be too hard?
Or am I overlooking something?
Best regards
Use asus remote camera app for android wear. If you twist your watch it will take a picture with your smartphone camera!

Thanks for the fast reply!
So wrist gesture detection is perfectly possible it seems?
But can you or anyone else give me some additional background about Android Wear:
Should I see Android Wear as a simple extension of the Android API? By which I mean: can I utilise all the Android API functions related to interpreting smartphone/tablet sensor data, provided the smartwatch has that sensor? (e.g accelerometer)
Since I was looking in this particular section related to Wearables (Remove the spaces: developer . android . com/training/building-wearables.html ) and I couldn't find any information about wrist gesture detection.
Is that simply because everything else from the Android API is automatically also applicable to smartwatch development?
(As one can tell, I'm quite new to mobile development.)

Thanks, will check this out!
Though from looking at the reviews, it seems there is still a lot to improve.
Also, I found the answer to my question in the meantime. In short: yes, you can access the accelerometer on your Android Wear smartwatch using the API functions originally intended for the accelerometer on Android smartphones.

The Bing app uses a wrist twist to activate
Should be possible soon!

Android wear is a new platform and is a hell lot fun to develop though when it packs so good specs then definetly some gestures may come. Even the 2015 launch of the apple watch doesnt seem to deliver a perfect gesture. Leaving the digital crown and the electrode on screen taps but i used the asus remote camera app its a lot easier and upholding the wrist wakes the watch u shuld give it a try!

Hmmmm.... I just created an AccessibilityService that does exactly what you are describing: it gives you the ability to completely control your smartwatch using wrist gestures.
I created it for my own use (I can only use one of my hands, the one in which I wear the watch) and I can fully control it using wrist gestures.

notice that in the current phase I'm not sure if the model that recognizes the wrist gestures can generalize or if it just recognizes my wrist gestures only.
First an explanation then the question.
I have programmed my LG G2 to control a "Dual XDMA550BT" car stereo. I now can relax in the rear of my van and remotely control the vehicles stereo with phone. Nice feature right? Well here is my problem, the stereos original remote is missing. So I came up with the following idea I hope someone has the answer to. Obviously the QuickRemote does not do car stereos from it list of remotes as it does not list ANY car remotes. Instead I used the QuickRemote's "Universal" remote function the allows the QuickRemote "learn" another remotes codes and assign them to a users custom layout. So here is my problem. I want to be able the extract and restore the codes for the "Dual XDMA550BT" remote as I do not have that remote any more and may need to restore that data at some later point. So where does the QuickRemote save the data for the 'Universal" remote function? Also some pre-programmed remotes have more than one layout you can switch to, allowing more buttons the one layout can display on screen? Why can't I have multiple layouts on self designed remotes, as well as be able to import graphics for custom buttons? Finally, why not have a place to send the codes and layouts for the custom remotes, that way we can share custom remote layouts? Mostly though I need to save my QuickRemote's data for later recovery.
That last question is most important, but the others would be nice to know.
Oh... one more thought. If all the QuickRemotes used by other LG phones store data the same way, why not be allowed to send data to those other phones since the G2 has more remotes than some of the others...
Use Titanium Backup to backup your application, if you have rooted phone.

Hi, Yes try using titaniun backup that will most likely work, Requires root though, also this should have been posted in Q&A not General. Thanks.
Data for every app are in /data/data/<app_package>, there will be folder files or databases(I hope) and inside there should be some files. Databases you can browse with sqlite browser. Of course you need root. I wonder to know if there are really these files, but I don't have root access, and while ma warranty is valid, I'm not gonna rooting my device

Warning this is a long post grab some tea or coffee.
Coming from a Note 2 the IR capabilities on a phone was a new concept for me. I played around with performing some smart control with peel and a few other apps. Nothing really fit like a professional Universal Remote branded custom programmed remote. Much like a very advanced version of Logitech Harmony. I wanted the WAF (Wife Approval Factor) . This means multiple rooms, devices, scenarios with single button clicks with a remote that changes given its room location and control type. Out Note Edge if you didn't know has an amazing wide spectrum infrared transmitter that can work with a mind blowing array of proprietary devices. Like Xbox and MCE machines to name a few. Its simply needs a powerful app to drive it with a deep code library.
So I stumbled on the app in the play store called "Smart IR Remote - Anymote" . Before I go further I'll point out that I'm not affiliated with any developer and have no benefit to point this app out. I'm just a gadget junkie and a fan of great tech but I digress. This app is not on the cheep side. Its around $6 if I recall. What turned me on to it was its continuous and constant development record, the developer is interacting with users regularly and it met my minimum requirents for experiments.
Setup can be as simple as a Logitech on the basic side or complex as the professional grade. It is your choice . What struck me with aww was the adaptability to create custom remotes WITH full macro or "scene" in the pro world and integrate that in to a one button. Take multiple remotes and combine buttons from all of them to one uber remote. Control WiFi devises along with it. Yup multiple pathway control. Holy cow I was so excited I finally found something to rival some of the most expensive remotes I have ever owned for $6 bucks. It is even equipped with thermostat library's along with some home control capacity. So my brain was tingling with logic layouts and control schemes.
After some serious testing in my house im happy to report only one obscure devise did not have a library entry for its IR codes. One email to the Dev and he was on it. I have set up multiple rooms with a minimum of 3 scenes per room via macro and custom remote setup. My setup works like this . the default remote is the "Home remote" that has buttons labeled per room. Select the room you want to control, Master Bedroom for example and the Master bedroom remote pops up. Then just select one of the action options like "Chrome Cast" turns the TV on pauses and switches the input to the proper location. Then a Chromecast remote pops up with volume and other actions like "Watch Movie". This turns on my HTPC that basicly cone out of sleep, flips the input on the TV to whatever its on and brings up the HTPC remote with all the functions for navigation select and volume. Cool part on this particular scene is if you change it to something else you simply add the sleep option in the macro and the HTPC will go to sleep if you want to change to something else.
It can get far more complex but I used this on my wife's phone that has IR and have had successful WAF !
So play have fun with the infrared on your phone. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to post some examples both simple and complex. Hope this helps someone else and be sure to give a thanks if it did . Cheers.

Nice review just some questions, can you use the edge display? It s compatible with logitech squeezebox e logitech link in wifi?
Thank you

The edge display is not effected. Works just like with any other app. You can add a app icon in to the edge display as a shortcut. Not app specific but handy for any apps you use regularly.
As for question 2 the short answer is no. I had to lookup the Logitech Squeezebox since I don't have one. It looks like they don't have a library entry for it but I'm sending a message to the Dev team and inviting them to this forum.
Great post! I too tend to find the IR capabilitied that Samsung phones have a very cool feature. It amazes me that so many people dont even take advantage of it, but then again there are so many people that dont tske advantage or know how to use 90% of the features on their phones. I sold my friend a nice Sony LED TV a couple weeks ago and after a few hours he called me asking for the remote because the buttons on the side were a pain to deal with and he didnt have a universal remote.. I was blown away by this because not only had i sold him my Galaxy S5 over a month prior to the TV, he had the Galaxy s4 for probably a year befote the 5, and when i told him to just use his phone its better anyway he had no clue what i was talking about... Anyway, sorry to ramble. Lol Thanks again for the info.
thank you
That's what keeps us, the developers, going. Seeing appreciation like yours makes me want to improve the product, makes me ashamed of the occasional bugs you probably encountered, but all things added, leads to a better product.
By the way, @Cab121, make sure to make a backup of your remotes in Settings -> Backup / Restore. You seem to have put a lot of work into yourself, and only I know how many customers relied on (eventually broken) Helium backups when switching roms, cleared the app data accidentally or not knowing what they were doing, losing precious of their work.
As for some of the other questions in the thread:
- using the Edge - No, right now Smart IR Remote doesn't make use of the Edge feature. It's certainly something we want to add, but we have so much stuff on our platter right now that it might take a while to get on this. Have you seen AnyMote Home ?
- Logitech Squeezebox - yes, that's supported over InfraRed, in our Game / Media Manager category
- Logitech Link - sorry, access to that is closed. We've tried, but no luck.
By the way, if anyone has any support questions (missing devices, bugs, stuff like that..) please email [email protected] - that way you have the highest (guaranteed) chances of getting a reply.

Is this possible ? heard people have the touchpad on the controller to work on tablet and portable but not on det Shield TV.
I would LOVE to have this fixed when a whole lot of my sideloaded apps need it for touchinteractions.
Can't root the device since one of the main apps im running and want to keep running is Get TV (Norwegian TV Provider) and once rooted the app will not work, rootcloack ect can't hide it from the app, feel like i've tried everything.
Heard some had it working before the 1.1 update ? why did the support fall out after this and why wasn't it fixed ?

Sorry nvidia has said that it is not a supported function of android tv so it was removed in updates after 1.1 . Does not seem like they have any plans to add it back either. i installed the full android rom from zulu99 and use my jxd7800 as a controller and the touch screen as a mouse with droidmote.

Darn, was really hoping it would come back. But with full android, is it possible there to use the right stick as a "mouse" ?
Haven't tried unrooting a pre-rooted rom before but that might be a solution to my problem in that case, but will i then be able to nativly play games from the NvidiaHub/NvidiaGames + stream from my Gaming PC with a unrooted rom ?
Thanks for the reply ! Will keep on trying to find some good way to go about this, perhaps finding a bluetooth TV remote with mousefunctionality might work ?
I have set Logitech K400 (with unified receiver on a USB Hub) and with the app Logitech Keyboard Plus You can set whatever language You prefer in Android settings as the app adds an entry for the K400. You have to discard the Bluetooth request at the beginning.
