Android Windows Media Center remote control???

Are there any apps that I can use as a remote control for Windows 7 media center? Preferably one that shows album art for the currently playing song etc.

I haven't seen any. I would love to be able to control my media center with my phone. A while back I made my own remote for my winmobile phone. It was functional but not very good looking or polished. If I had the time I might attempt to make one for android... but I will probably never have the time, especially if I want it to look good.

GMote works wonders for me.
Not sure if that will work for you, but I can choose to play video on my htpc, or stream the video from my htpc to my phone....requires a daemon to be running on your htpc plus the app.
I really dig it.

Yep, seconded, Gmote is awesome, not only integrated with media centre controls and streaming from the media centre to the phone as well but you can also use the touch screen as a mouse track pad and the g1 keyboard as the pc's keyboard, both absolutely awesome features. The server app running in the windows taksbar takes virtually no cpu or memory, auto starts and is found very quickly by the phone.

I have been trying to run the gmote program with my Windows Media Center (Windows 7) setup for about a week. It seems that the server on the computer crashes fairly regularly. Has anyone else been having this issue? I especially see this if my phone goes to sleep (black screen) and then I wake the phone back up.
I'm using an HTC Hero (CDMA/Sprint).

I would recommend switching to XBMC, I've been helping out testing this app which should be coming to the market soon and it's absolutely amazing works wonders for my xbox running xbmc.

Looks nice for sure. Just wish XBMC had DVR and live tv functionality like Windows Media Center.

Unfortunately, this program requires XBMC. I have my entire system setup to use Windows Media Center.

Windows Media Centre remote
Gmote is crashy and annoys me, i use Windows Media centre remote (on my android). But if the computer is busy, sometimes it reacts slowly. But it does not crash a lot.

As an update: The newest Gmote (2.0) works much better than the previous version I was using; maybe due to Windows 7, maybe due to the updated application. (Probably both). Anyway, it works much more reliably now. Unfortunately, there really isn't access to your playlist

Another option I am using now is MyRemote from the Market. Seems to be fast, stable, and provide more Windows Media Center type button access.

Media Center Control is a good choice. Search it with google or in the Android Market. It's a remote control with many features and works very well.

Darkslider2k4

Well my favourite is nitrogen because of its finger friendly style and skins support but as I ve asked a few people they re using core player and the fabulous WMP . There aren t many good music players for WM.
Regards

Windows Media Player with custom skin because it's fully controllable with HTC e100/w100 wired remote control and my desktop docking station with infrared remote control.

I always use WWE ROMs

Btw.: I'm using the Ecell remote dock. It's actually for HTC Diamond but works great with Touch Pro too.
The small Diamond in the picture is the IR remote control.
I had to "glue" the desk stand down because it tends to tilt over because of the heavy Touch Pro.
The video out ist however no longer working on newer ROMs through this docking station.

[Q] NFS shift: steering issue, any G-sensor emulation?

Hi everyone, NFS shift is a best ever racing game for X1, however, this game require G-sensor for steering. As there is no G-sensor on X1, so it become unplayable.
Is there any G-sensor emulation app to use Dpad as G-sensor, so that we can play this game?

There is no such thing as G-Sensor emulation, either your phone has a G-sensor or it doesn't. I actually have this game with onscreen controls Pm me.

So I got a chance to try the 100mb version of NFS Shift and turns out the version I have is older, the 100mb one looks completely different. I've been searching but could not find one with onscreen controls yet.

Hi Viper89, thanks for your reply. Discovered that the HTCSensor service will mislead the game that X1 have G-sensor, once it is removed then the game will able to run with keyboard for steering & drift.
Now the game can play but the GPU seem not powerful enough to run smoothly, sigh.

Nice find, how do I find this HTCSensor service and remove it?

Simply remove the files: smiHapticsServer_1.dll and SmiSensorServer_1.dll from windows directory. Now you can play the game by pressing j and k for left and right and d for drift.

You can find them in \Windows directory but they are hidden so you have to use total commander instead of file explorer.
unfortunately i had no luck and still can't control game by the keybord

Hi Bro how did you make this working with keyboard.
I did not find those files which have to delete.
Please tell me how is going to work
Thanks in advance

Sony Ericson XPERIA PLAY gamepad?

Just asking if there were a way we could use the keyboard as a gamepad similar to the xperia play's one? It could be great tu be able to use the keyboard to play games, and very much more user-friendly.
Thanks

Well in most emulators on the market, you can map the keys to controller buttons. I use Gameboy A.D. from the market and it's great with the D3 keyboard.

Sixaxis controller from market and a ps3 controller ftw.

Yeah, but for other games (native games for android) that's not possible. I don't have a PS3, i'm playing on a XBOX 360.

This is not what you are looking for, but this is great for emulators and such. http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm

With native games I just use sixaxis in "touch" mode and setup the profile to match the button overlay in the game. The controllers keypresses emulate touch events so it works 100% with anything that allows touchscreen or key(hardware button) input. You can have the controller emulate a touchscreen, keyboard and/or mouse so... a 20$ ps3 controller(any pawn shop has them used etc, just make sure it's bluetooth and not the 2.4ghz with a dongle) and d3 car mount screwed to it > gamegripper imo. Trying to upload you a screenshot of the profile setup, once you see that you'll know for sure it works with anything that runs on droid, including the home app/any app/game but its being stuborn, I'll get it up in a bit.
Edit: Uploaded that screenshot of the profile setup with my fpse profile loaded. The buttons aren't shown when playing a game or anything, only time you see where the button taps are position on the screen is when making/editing profiles so nothing interferes. sorry it took so long, used a friends laptop just to get them up lol. You'll notice I have the analog buttons overtop of the digital pad so I can use either/switch during gameplay etc

Which Controller or Remote works with RemixOS Mini?

Hey Guys!
I bought a Remix Mini and I'm very Happy with Design, Performance and Features. Now I only need two things but I didn't find something yet :/
1. Which Controller Works with RemixOS Mini? (Gamepad) I want to play Android Games and emulated Old Nintendo stuff. It would be great when This Controller also works as a remote/Mouse to navigate through Media Apps and Remix OS Settings. Do you know which Gamepads Work with it Well? (Bluetooth, WiFi, Funk,...) I didn't find a "Perfect" Solution on Google and other Forums...
2. Is there a remote I can use for Media Apps? For example for Kodi, Live TV/IPTV and other non-game-android-Apps? (Similar to a mouse but more comfortable)
And another question I have to ask:
My Mini has a Problem. When it's shut down or longtime on Stand-by, I Can't Wake it Up with Touch or Mouse click. This Touch function only works the first 1-2 hours. After that time it only works when I Switch Off and on the Power cable. Do you know what's the Problem?
I'm very thankful for answers!
Nice Greetings

Air mouse MX3 and KM800 works well. Can purchase it on ebay.

Game ctr: Tronsmart Mars G01 ( bought in 2014.. still working great)
everything else ctr: Air mouse named flymote
Cheers

I need a remote similar to the fire TV remote because I use the remix mini as a HTPC. I prefer a simple remote with few buttons- Play, fast forward and rewind buttons. I don't need a keyboard or trackpad. Which remote will you recommend?
Thanks for your replies.
