I recently posted a question in Q&A about any TV remote apps that can be voice controlled. No luck. I stumbled upon this tasker plugin by Ozkaya that is awesome. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45572797. It allows you to program your IR remote with Pronto hex codes(many found here http://www.remotecentral.com/ as posted in the Dev's thread).
I combo'd this with Utter! and like magic, I was able to program voice controllable macro's, functions, anything really as long as the hex codes were available. And there is alot of them. I have Verizon Fios and the motorola codes worked for my box even though they weren't the same model. To me, this is an awesome show off tool (and slightly practical if I am eating chicken wings and need to switch between football games!). I literally say "phone" to wake up utter and "channel back" or "ESPN". as a command.
I did nothing here but stumble upon a combo of apps that work great together. If you like the idea please check out the thread and thank the Dev's and support their work. I feel this is one of those gems that slipped back a few pages and got lost. Hope you like it too.

I used it on Alpha and Gravitron. I don't believe there would be any limitations on any Rom as long as Tasker and Utter! are installed. The rest is just setting up the codes and then setting Utter to use the Tasker plugins.
If someone really wants to get tweaky, here is another plugin for Tasker that will initiate the voice recognition in Utter! when the phone is on charge and the stop it when is taken off charge. Its towards the bottom of the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34339449.

Hey guys,
Are there any (simple)tablet specific apps you guys would really like to see? I'm no star programmer(2nd year software eng. student with no experience before university) and I'm certainly not an android pro(really just got into android development in January) but I'll see what I can do. I've been working on some simple phone apps but I'd really like to get started with some apps for honeycomb.
If there are any fans of theoatmeal.com, I'm thinking my first honeycomb app will just be a simple viewer for his comics. Nothing complicated, just a list of comics on the side, with an image view which you can swipe to change panes in the comic and then some tabs at the top to filter(all, cats, grammar, food, animals, tech - just like on the website). I wish I could work on it this weekend but I'm leaving for my parent's in about half an hour and I don't have my laptop with me(just my galaxy tab 10.1).
Anyway, let me know what you'd like to see.
Automatic about :debug desktop view app.
A deviantart app so I can see images quicker and easier.
that's actually a good idea. It's really frustrating to have to put that in every time. Not sure how to do it exactly, but I doubt it would be too hard.
I've never used deviantart myself but that is something I could look into.
I'm thinking of trying to make an app that can send text messages when connected to a phone via bluetooth. Not sure if it will happen but it should be an interesting project. I was originally planning on doing it with google's push api but that would be more work and probably isn't necessary(do you really want to receive text messages on your tablet when it's not in range of your phone? I wouldn't).
That would be useful. Heck even away from the phone would be useful for many people. When "away" SMS gets forwarded to email or gv.
I believe blackberry playbook has a lot of functionality between phone and tablet. Anything to increase the handshake between android tablet phone would be great. Even if its a chrome2phone style sending a map or website back and forth.
Data recorder
For some reason the 3G watchdog app doesnt work correctly on my galaxy tab 10.1v. A working app designed for the tablet would be nice, unless other people have other suggestions I could try out.

I'm a student and would like to see more apps that I could use like the notebook app for the htc flyer. Something that looks professional and simple. Like having a word document on your tab. There's a few out there but none that are entirely convincing. From what i've heard there are apps for other tabs that can record lectures, have word recognition, among other really awesome things. Assus has a decent app for it too I guess, but i'd like to see it on the galaxy tab 10.1 forsure.

You can turn the word prediction on in keyboard settings for Samsung's keyboard. it's called XT9 prediction. Even the stock honeycomb keyboard does have prediction.
I wasn't entirely convinced by the stock keyboard nor Samsung's keyboard so I bought Thumb Keyboard from the Market. I haven't looked back since
A Flipboard style app would be pretty nice, it's about the only app I miss from my iPad (besides Netflix & HBO Go).

I'm developing an app just for this purpose. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133277
Netflix Netflix and Netflix please
oh and maybe Netflix?
Swype 3.0 is awesome on the SGT, few bugs but great features. I have a challenge for the college student. Create a lockscreen replacement for honeycomb where you can define app shortcuts to place around the unlock circle similar to the unlock icon and drag the smaller circle to each shortcut to launch the app. Similar to sense 3.0 but for honeycomb!

How does this compare to SMSSync? Can you post screenshots?
An app that can read ebooks and comics. Has a notepad feature and has flip page animation for all of them.
A decent effing sports app that has favorite teams, a working widget, and is usable in both portrait and landscape.
I saw another thread about hiding apps in some guy's wife's phone to track her. I'm looking for something similar with my wife, but it does not need to be hidden. Mainly to be used because I commute quite a distance and this would let her know how close I am to home (rather than having me text while driving). Similarly for her when she's travelling.
Just an app that would:-
1. Allow me to see where she is (and vice-versa)
2. Use GPS if on, otherwise fall back on net information
3. Not use SMSes (some sort of internet-based communication between phones)
I could probably hack something up using Tasker but her phone isn't rooted like mine is so the capabilities for GPS etc are a bit more limited (and time is limited, of course).
Thanks!
Already built in

You can actually do this with the built in google maps application. It's called local/latitude. You can share where you are and control who sees it an when. Go ahead and look into it. Much better then downloading another app IMHO.
See here: Google search latitude android
Thanks, yeah I know about latitude features but it seems to lack a way to "ping" the other party with the equivalent of "hey, I've reached road X"
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk HD
Use an app called Backitude from the Play Store. Latitude updates pretty arbitrarily on its own. This app allows you to control how and when it updates, and also let's another person force an update on your phone by sending an SMS. It's all Internet based except the update triggering part. You can also use the tracking features of Cerberus, another app in the Play Store.

If the phone has an IR blaster is this possible?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Theres an app called gmote in the play store, to control your computer, it works with windows and mac .
Just make sure your Pro doesn't have a retina. The Retina ones don't support IR unless you get an external receiever.
You could give this app a try

Neither of the two apps utilize the IR remote. I'm looking for one that will allow that. Seeing as the phone just came out, maybe one will show up over time.

Yes, this is possible. You simply use the TV app that came preloaded on your HTC One.
While the buttons aren't labeled exactly the same, you can make it work just fine by configuring a custom remote. Just click through the service provider selection screen, answering however you like even if you don't have service, though I suggest being as accurate as possible in case you want to check listings at say, your friend's house for a football game.
Personally, I configured all applicable buttons: both direction and volume, and enter/play/pause/select, etc. I didn't want to have to hunt for buttons, so it seems easier to program them all, even though another button will do the same thing.
I'm hoping someone will make (or there already is) a custom IR blaster app that will allow us to share profiles for some of the more complicated devices, or HTC will add a "Custom Remote Profile Sharing" feature. This way, you won't need an original remote to copy signals from, and you won't need to use a more root-intensive app if you wanted to copy your configuration to another device or owner.
Please click thanks if I answered your question.
Ok everybody look at this video and I think we should all decipher this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjTj0ymhbBw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
This guy of course WILL NOT explain step by step to get it to work the way he did.
Maybe we all can give each other pointers?
We know he's using tasker and auto voice perhaps we all can help figure this out step by step ?
That's a nice impressive setup....
Lets figure out how to do this.
Wow no one is interested eh? Lol
You first need a decent familiarity with Tasker, and then:
- a Z-wave/Zigbee controller, such as the Vera Lite
- a few Z-wave switches
- AutoVoice plugin for Tasker to parse your input and connect them to tasks/shortcuts that toggle the switches.
That's the easy part. He has XMBC on his home theater system and uses Yatse to access that. Read more about how he got this working from the Reddit he posted it on as well as at Pocketables http://goo.gl/AdmEG.
I'm waiting on the Almond+ router before I jump into this since most home automation controllers are $$$.

I was playing with tasker yesterday can u confirm tasker work with HTC one?
Somehow the app kept saying it doesn't have the profile when it does?
This gentleman that posted this is probably not new to the AV scene and programming aspects either. I'm sure there's "more than meets the eye" than what is being shown; he probably spent a lot of time researching before getting the Eureka moment of tying it all together. Kudos to this and other DIY'ers.
I'm sure if we make effort we can figure it out.. AV guys unite!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
What I don't get from what I've read is for Z-Wave you need a controller (e.g. Vera Lite) and then you can tie all the devices together, but I don't see anything similar for ZigBee, hows do you get ZigBee devices to talk to each other? I know some stuff will be achievable through tasker but with Vera Lite (or other Z-Wave controllers) you can do everything through the Controller interface.
Is there such a thing that lets me mirror and control another Android device from an Android device (like Teamviewer)?
Root and xposed is not a problem.
I'm trying to do something similar as in my post on this forum yesterday titled "Video mirroring/sharing between 2 tablets". It's worth trying the app ShareScreen by Spring Design, though I couldn't get it to do what I need. Let me know if you find anything!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Free mobile app
No this is nothing I can use, the screensharing is just the means to make the remote control easy and effective. I need full control like I would hold the other device in my hand.
Did you try Teamviewer? I had no success but looked like it should work.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Free mobile app
Teamviewer is no use because they sadly don't support Android 2 Android connections. Otherwise it would probably be perfect. Since I mentioned Teamviewer in my first post there would be no reason for my question if it worked.
