I don't have an Archos but I have a Galaxy 10.1, Asus Transformer, and a Galaxy S phone. I have been trying to figure out how to strap the 10.1 to a headrest and remotely play movies for my son in the back seat and I'm hoping the Archos software would be the key.
Has anyone ripped the Remote Control Server APK from this rom to be used in other tablets/phones. The controller is on the market but the server side is not
Or if someone knows a way to do this that would be great. (Note: DLNA is nice but its a full PUSH and what I want to do is control the media already on the tablet, or use the Sprint 3g on the 10.1 to stream netflix.
I have tried Server VNC for droid, and it breaks on tablets.
Thanks for all your help!
Maybe someone with an Archos and another Android device can analyze what is sended by the other device to the Archos (Wireshark for example)

I am fairly sure this is not an APK, as sin not a simple app. it is a service baked into the system code of the ROM. This kinda of app is not overtly simple to add to android even IF you had all the source to the ROM, which no one does for HC yet.
The only problem is to know what is said on the network. After that, creating the app to communicate with it is "easy".
Am i to understand that you want to stream video to Archos from your Asus/Samsung ?
No, he wants to control his expensive Samsung 101 via a remote.
Something that comes included with any cheap Archos Gen8 ;-)
Expensive
Yes, its more expensive then the Archos but its 3g via Sprint. So I can stream, check email, watch IP cameras for restaurants that I am responsible for. But when traveling with the kids its nice to put in a headrest strap and control it.
Right now my son who is 3 will either tap the screen and freak out because the movie stopped playing, or if he is holding it he ends up stuck in some app. This will allow my wife or myself to start other movies, netflix streams, etc..
Headrest monitors for cars are not cheap (unless you get some really poor generic ones) and once the kids hit 5 years old they will not want to watch a linear movie, they would want to watch and interact with the web. (Humm or maybe I'm the biggest kid in the equation )
Right now I can DLNA push a video to the tablet using BubblePNP (Works great) but its annoying when my phone wifi sleeps or phone calls seem to mess with the connection. Remote control will keep each device truly separate. How many times I have walked out of the car to get gas out of range of the DLNA sharing is annoying.
Here you go...
I Hope this is what you are looking for...
Ripped out...Have Fun!
He doesn't need the remote, he needs the receiver for the Samsung.
I saw the words "remote" and "software" in the OP.
Yes, but he's searching the server side of the remote software ^^
Looks like the best way to get the Archos remote server app is to unpack Archo's firmware and take the server app out.
I found some linux tools that can do this, e.g. using aos-tools
However, my linux skill is only novice level at best, so I don't think I can unpack it successfully and find the remote server app.
Anyone happy to give it a try and share the file?
I see the instructions to unpack can be found here: http://archos.g3nius.org/index.php?title=The_aos-tools_Toolchain
I was looking for such app and Archos seems to the the only company which have a Android remote app right now... I am interested to install the remote server app on my Android phone or tablet and see if it works.
for control the tablet from an android phone you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
Hi Guys and gals,
I just got my self the flyer p510, it a great device even at stock...
May I ask if anyone know a app that can live view of powerpoint presentation on the tablet and in the same time control what going on on the PC hook-up to the projector.
Than mean something like "what you see on your tab...is what you get on your PC screen" kind of thingy?
I make presentation once a while and sometime to a big crowd and sometimes just using a laptop...yes I have a remote clicker for presentation.
Thanks in advance...
I had a look at one of these at lunchtime and I have to say, I'm impressed. I am particularly intrigued with the remote feature and I just wondered if this scenario is possible. Would I be able to link it to my Sky box and then set on screen buttons for the channels I wanna watch so I would have a button for BBC One HD (141) for instance.
Would that be possible?
Thanks in advance

Does your sky box have a remote? If there isn't a built in profile you can use the remote to teach the commands to the Sony remote and create your macro for the channel you want

OK, yes it has a remote. There seems to be very little information available on this. Does nobody use it for this feature?
Hello everyone, i just buy this exelent device and im very proud to use it and i love it anyway! But unfortunally the quickremote inside the software of LG doesnt work with my LED TV, i have an Hannspree LED TV and i know's this brand is an remix of Samsung/LG etc brands, i have tryed the Samsung code and my TV IR blinks but nothing happens on TV.
I have tryed the Smart Remote app from Google playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy
...but doesnt work, the IR on G Pad doesnt blink anyway. So, if anyone can help me to find any app to make this device working i will stay very happy.
Thanks and sorry for my ugly english!
Only quickremote will work on G pad
Sent from my LG-V500 using XDA Free mobile app
so sad, only quickremote available
Hi i noticed that the G2 irRemote has a scan option and you can learn the app the frecvency of the remote control.
Can that work on the gpad?
