I have a TX9 Pro and would like to be able to capture IR commands/keys from another remote to perform actions. For example, I would like to use the Guide key of my TV remote to launch DirecTV Now app etc. Searching has turned up only apps to turn an android device into a universal remote which is NOT what I am looking for. I know there is the remote.conf file but have no idea how to use that to capture a specific IR command and have it perform a specific command like launching a specific App. Any help appreciated.
good idea, any advanced now>?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the ir remote app supports macros(aka: Activities).
If you are aquainted with the Harmony remotes you know what I'm talking about.
E.g. Activity "Watch TV" would do:
1.Turn TV on
2.Turn Set Top Box on
3. Set correct TV input
4. etc. etc...
Another thing, and sorry if this has been answered already.. Can we also control PS3 with the remote app?
Hi,
I have a harmony remote too, but there's currently no option in the tablet remote software to set up events (switch on tv, switch on amp, turn tv channel to hd1, for example). It's a straight remote control app. Hopefully this might change in future updates?
The ps3 uses bluetooth, and this remote is infra-red, so this native app cant control it. Maybe through an iv-bluetooth decoder, but not straight from the box.
No. The remote software is the simplest remote function. It does not support activies.
I read somewhere though that you can have it learn the macro when you use the learning feature. It can learn the commands from your remote, and it was mentioned that macro can be learned as well. Will test it later on tonight....

Any luck with this?
IR activities alternative
I found this workaround on the US Sony Forum.

Still need to check it out myself.
Sorry can not post URL (just yet)

I was also disappointed that it didn't recognise my Panasonic Air Conditioner Ir remote.
In this day and age it's also amazing that it doesn't have a link to an online library of remotes people have already taught it...
Any devs out there... that's my wish list... oh yeah maybe a night vision app that uses the IR as a night light
The remote can learn any sort of remote cntroller. I've used the tablet to learn my York Air-con and my fan. It works for both of them.It takes time to learn the remote function. You have to try several times.
Its the best tablet so far.
My goal here is to make an EASY to use display for people be able to read DOC, PDF, XLS files.
Here is what I want to use:
1. Rikomagic MK802 III
2. Logitech T650 touchpad
3. 1080P 52" LG TV. (We already own this)
4. Office/PDF app such as: Kingsoft Office, or Easy PDF reader
I plan to connect the MK802 to the tv then install the touch pad (in the available USB slot) and have people use the touchpad to "flip" through files.
In my mind it seems simple enough but some questions I have are:
A. Does anyone know a way to lock android into a "demo mode" of sorts. Where only one app is accessible and the screen stays on?
B. Has anyone used the logitech touchpad T650?
C. Any better app suggestions? Keeping in mind easy is the key.
Just found a cool app that will take care of the demo mode that I want:
KioWare Kiosk Mode Software
On the MK808 custom software, you can disable the navigation keys... essentially keeping from anyone escaping. It is possible to bring back the navigation and exit but not at first glance...
Not sure how you could do this. Maybe a tasker sequence to check if XYZ app is running else launch XYZ. So even if someone did exit, it would relaunch.
Combination of both?

did it work?
Hi, did the Logitech Touchpad work?
I tried the newest MK 802 (8G, bluetooth) with Apple Magic Trackpad and it did not work - no mouse movements, no clicks.
This might be of use to you, Smart Protector. I've used it in conjunction with launchers that can hide icons to stop anyone from messing about with the setup.
I have found tons of apps that let you remote control your phone from your WinBlows computer and some that do the reverse; however, I haven't found any apps that will remote control a smartphone from another smartphone. I would assume rooting would be required on the phone being remote controlled (running daemon) but the client side wouldn't need to be rooted. I use all three of our smartphones to watch video content on our large household TVs and remote controlling these from another smartphone would be handy (don't want to boot a PC to perform the remote control funtion)
Any pointers to an app (if one exists) would be greatly appreciated.

yep it's hard to find but this app should do the job :
i am a noob user of xda so i can't post links but you can find an app called "VNC server" on the playstore
it's a vnc server ... i didn't find better one
Hi, Im missing universal remote on Note 4. There is Peel remote but it does not contain my VIDO TV and there is no function to just place buttons on layout and map them with original tv remote like on LG Gx phones... is there any 3rd party app that allows it? Cant find one...
Don't know the answer but try this one. It may program with original remote?

ok, I will try ir right now. On LG G2/G3 I had I could just make layout of buttons and point original TV remote to map each button.
Ok, I tried it but not good :/ It has function to record your own remote but its like phone does not receive beam from original remote :/ when select other TV from list e.g. Samsung, everything works :/ maybe note 4 does not has function to receive beam like lg g2/g3 ? :/

In my opinion Peel remote is the best. I am using a JVC 32" tv, only volume and power works at default configuration. But u can troubleshoot the button values. Mine is working at 3rd set of values for the channel change and numbers.
Hi,
I am trying to control my Android TV using my google home and my raspberry.
I can connect the TV and launch most of the apps.
But I am facing issues when I try to do more complex actions... I am fully lost in the intents and activities...
I tried to find some informations with "dumpsys window windows" but without any good result.
I would like first to change the channels on molotov (I does not work just using the keyevents)
And another project would be to launch a specific Kodi add-on (catch up TV)
Do you have any idea of how to do so ?
Thanks for your help
