tab s t705 IR infrared any remote learning function

Is it possible for IR to learn from any infrared remote or it has no IR receiver and only IR sending?
Id love to see it working for my tv,AC,garage remote,unbranded stereo...etc

Wrong thread

If you download smart ir remote you can program pronto codes into it which are available all over the place. I did this to get into the service menu of my lg TV.

Which htc do u have with a learning function for IR?
These Third party IR software are more comprehensive than samsung original one?

tbh, every tv and almost every other media device i came across, ran fine with the ir of my Tab S 8.4. i had some problem with the air conditioner of my room cause it was General made. and model was old. so i got smart ir and checked the codes online and boom. its working fine

MirrorLink mod for VW Passat B8 - mirroring in motion

Hello There,
I am looking for someone who has managed to somehow mode their Android phone to mirror the phone's screen directly to Modular Infotainment System (MIB II) of VW Passat B8 (Discovery Pro) WHILE DRIVING.
The new Passat allows to fully mirror screen only when stationary, when in motion it only allows a few certified by VW (useless) apps to work and so people cannot use for example Google Maps or Spotify while driving.
There is an external vendor navigation app available in motion - Sygic. From what I've seen there have been successful attempts to unlock mirroring in motion.
avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81179-full-screen-mirroring-working-in-mirrorlink-s6/
cnet.com/news/unlock-full-android-app-mirroring-on-your-dashboard-with-this-appradio-hack/
To conclude the hardware specs are as following:
Discover Pro (VW MIB II)
Hardware: H41
OS: QNX-6.5.0
Does anyone know something in this subject and can help?
Cheers!

You can use the Video in Motion module to hack the headunit. So you can have screen when driving.

Do you think that would also work with MirrorLink? I thaught it only unlock DVD playback. Maybe it's worth a try...

It should works fine. The module should fake the headunit about the current car speed.
There are Golf 7 / Audi A3 version modules which are MQB platform too. They should works fine with Passat B8.

Just got it worked.

buy from ebay here

Hi! Could you please try runnig GoogleMaps for example while driving, or just play around with phone menu during driving...
Sygic is oficialy certified app for MirrorLink and it works fine even in moton with or without cracks/patches/mods
Much appreciate!
Cheers!

Google Maps and Spotify not mirrorlink certificate, only Android Auto.

I know that's why I am looking a bypass to enable Mirroring of the full screen of my mobile phone while driving, not only when stationary. This is possible because I saw it working on devices such as Pioneer, but I would like to run it on VW Discover Pro

Any updates here? I am also looking to get ML working on my MIB II while driving ... :good:

on HTC / sony phones, google maps works.
here is the demo of HTC phones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0cwLQVts4U
But not in Samsung phones.

I have found a solution, presented in this Video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-1umqMJqlw
The devices are available to buy in Poland, probably can be shipped worldwide and are easy to install Plug&Play.
There is also a web page, but you have to use google translate to navigate there.
http://www.sklep.martos.com.pl/nawi...00x480-vw-polo-skoda-fabia-od-2015-p-187.html
Hope it helps anyone looking for a solution, that unfortunately can't be done only by software changes.

The video shows my car The phone in HTC One M8s. It has a great application HTC Car which has Mirrorlink certificate and is a kind of launcher. Using it, you can launch ANY application in Mirrorlink while NOT driving. But then using this app and the unlock adapater that is presented in above video you can use any application whil edriving
So you shoul dtry if HTC Car works with your phone under Mirrorlink and if yes then with this unlock adapter you can run app while driving.
If anyone is interested in unlock adapter pls contact me - I run a company and can sell it with regular invoice. And if run a company having EU VAT ID then I can sell it with no VAT charge!

I have managed to find a workaround for mirroring in Motion only for Samsung Galaxy S6 & S7.
I have put the comment in this movie showing how it works in my car.

Hi Szylton,
Your video is impressive. I have the same discover pro and s7, but when I connect the phone with mirrorlink to the radio I only get few apps avaliable. What do I have to install to get the same full screen on the discover pro?
Many thanks

Hello Chris,
Have you seen the description of the video I've posted. It's all there
You need Car Mode from Samsung Apps, and sometimes Nova Launcher also can do the difference.
Let me know if you understood whats written in the description on YT.
Cheers,
Simon

for me, s5 6.0.1 , this works, https://youtu.be/orR5QX3tJmg
---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
and with lg g4, works non rooted without adjustments. best way to v.i.m. is the hardware adjustment in your v.a.g car, which will cost around 140 euros.

I want to buy a passat variant (2017) with discover media.
I have a phone with cm11 with root.
Will it work too?

Specific to VW only, All you need to do is buy OBDEleven tool an use an application specific to your car to unlock MirrorLink in Motion. No need to have something plugged into you car all the time to spoof speed to the units. They have apps for B7 and B8 with MIB2. Discover Pro and Discover. They did not have an app for my 2017 NMS Passat - but I gave them my cars information and they provided an app right away within the next couple of days.

Mi VR (new, white) and LineageOS 14.1

Hi, I just received my new Mi VR headset. I have a Mi5 32g running the official LineageOS 14.1 build.
The companion app for the headset requires the MIUI China ROM 8.3 or newer to run:
(note: XDA forum does not let me post the link to the apk since I m a new user. You can google app.xiaomi and 431493 to find it)
The headset seems rather useless without that app.
I managed to make Google Daydream app work, but the Mi VR controller is not recognized by it, as expected. Furthermore, the Mi VR controller doesn't even connect to Bluetooth - it is supposed to only work within that VR app.
My first question is: ideas on how to hack the app so that it works in LineageOS? Build.prop mods? Apk editions? I tried a few things without luck so far.
Do you guys think there are actual drivers etc in the China ROM that are required for the app to run? If so could they be extracted from the China ROM and installed into the LineageOS?
Finally, what are the chances of making the MI VR controller emulate a daydream controller?
The build quality of this headset is excellent. Best in its class. If we can make it work with our Xiaomi phones it will be a home run.
Thanks!
Federico

To work on making the Mi VR controller work with Google Daydream App, here are two hints:
The emulator apk that allows any phone to emulate a Daydream controller:
Google: daydream + controller + emulator
User that reverse-engineered the Daydream View controller to make it work on an iPhone:
Google: hackernoon + daydream controller + Pisani
(again I can't post urls yet - too new in the forum)
If someone could reverse engineer the Mi VR controller in the same way -which is pretty identical- then we could envision to make it work using parts of the code of the controller-emulator app.

plz
I really, really need this. please tell me if you can get it to work.
when you got daydream to work with the headset do you know if it was using the phone sensors or the built in headset sensors? was daydream working with the phone plugged into the headset or do you have to leave it unconnected?
cheers

Update: Daydream app is working great using another phone with the daydream controller emulator app. Daydream uses the phone sensors, not the headset's. The MI VR controller is not recognized.
I still can't make the MI VR app work.
I got to download from the Xiaomi website the SDK for the MI VR. I wonder if someone could use it to make a "driver" to use the MI VR controller and sensors in Daydream.
Also making the MI VR app work on LineageOS is key!!

A very cool project
Perhaps I should start giving more background here for catching more people's interest.
So first: going to geekbuying (.com), you can get the new Mi VR headset (white, with controller) shipped everywhere for about 70 dollars. You might say "That's more expensive / equally expensive than the Google Daydream View". Yes. But it is about 10 times better, too.
For starters: the Mi VR headset is more or less a copy of the design of the Playstation VR headset. Everything in it cries high quality, and you can use it (personal experience) for long sessions of 20+ minutes without feeling any fatigue or discomfort. It's pretty awesome.
Second: it has a controller just like the Daydream View, but it's a little better thought through (in Daydream View you need to press a button for 2 seconds for the VR experience to center; in the Mi VR it does that with double click which is easier; also, the Mi VR controller has a magnetometer, I'm not sure the Daydream controller has it, and I suspect it can be used to calculate distance from the phone and thus have some sense of movement, which in theory could offer one more degree of freedom - I might be wrong and this might be also available in the Daydream controller, I haven't checked).
But the aspect where the Mi VR headset excels is in its inclusion of native sensors in the headset that have a much higher refresh rate than those typically found in phones. In theory, they provide a much more fluid movement experience in VR.
All that said, the product has officially only launched in China. When you buy it from Geekbuying or similar sites, you will get a box wherein everything is in Chinese, including the manual etc.
As far as I can tell, the Mi VR app, not to be confused with the Mi VR PLAY app, is sort of the epicenter for the use of the headset/controller as they can only be paired through that app. In fact the controller cannot even pair directly through Bluetooth without the app.
The app is not in Google Play Store, it can be downloaded from the Mi Store but it refuses to work on LineageOS and I think it might also don't work in MIUI global ROM (not sure of that). It is made to work on MIUI China Rom.
Last but not least: apps like vRidge and Trinus allow to stream SteamVR games from your computer to your telephone to use it in headsets (it transmits sensor data back to the computer), by simulating a Rift headset.
I've tried this on the Mi5 phone with the Mi VR headset and it is AMAZING (you need to have a direct connection using the phone as hotspot for reducing delay).
And there are a few programmers that have made the Daydream Controller Emulator app on a phone as an emulator of HTC Vibe controllers in SteamVR.
So...we are close to be able to use the actual hardware controllers (Daydream controller, possibly Mi VR controller) and the headsets to play VR games designed originally for Rift or HTC Vibe and have an acceptable experience of them at a fraction of the investment.
To recapitulate, the roadmap to be able to fully enjoy the Mi VR with a Mi phone (like Mi5) is:
1) to somehow make the Mi VR app work with LineageOS (this might simply entail obtaining a proper build.prop file for the China rom, or perhaps is more complex than that and it might entail obtaining some files from the China ROM to be included in the LineageOS system)
2) to manage to build a driver for Windows for the Mi VR controller, so that it can interact with things like SteamVR
3) to manage to somehow make Daydream app recognize the Mi VR controller
4) maybe: to manage to make Daydream app recognize / use the headset's sensors (as opposed to the phone's). Same for vRidge/Trinus
Let me know if anyone would like to collaborate on this.
best!
Federico

how hard is it to get the SDK?
im no dev but I have some skills to follow whats going on.

Hi! I can't post links here yet (too new a member in the forum) but you can google "dev.xiaomi.com mi vr" and you'll find it/them. There is a generic SDK and then a Unity plugin SDK that apparently is very easy to implement in the personal free version of unity.
There seems to be a procedure involving a Google Form one needs to fill in in order to get a code that, I assume, is necessary to get your apk published within their specific Mi VR market - but I understand that code would not be necessary for testing in a phone.
The website is fully in Chinese - I found that using Google Translator gave me a decent enough translation to follow through.
About SteamVR: both Trinus and vRidge (Riftcat) used the phone sensors, none of them appear to "see" the headset's. There should be a way to expose them on the Android device, and also I would assume there should be some modification made to the Trinus/vRidge client Android apps so that they send that sensor data as opposed to the Mi5 sensor data. Not that easy but perhaps not that difficult, I don't know.
Same applies for Daydream app.
Let me know if you get anything to work, the headset is really awesome - even the rudimentary experience of using it with Daydream app with another phone as controller (emulator) has been really cool!

Hey there!
I´m using the Mi Vr app, and everything its in chinnese, so I´m willing to use the daydream apk.
I´ve already installed it, but when I open it I need the controller, but the problem is; I can´t connect the controller through bluetooth, it just appears to be connected when I open the MiVR app.
I´m thinking that maybe, I could open the MiVR app, so the controller gets connected, and then frezze it and open the DayDream app, and see if it works, although I dont think so.
Have you get anything new on how to use it??
best regards

@Federico.parra How did you manage installing the daydream app on lineage?

Hi, maybe this interest you, some open source software and APIs unlike xiaomi's
http://openhmd.net

Received my mi VR today. Flashed xiaomi.eu MIUI 8 to test. In MIUI you can use the headset only with miVR app. There appears a screen in the phone even when you are in another app and even if miVR app ist not Installed. Also app translator doesn't work when using the miVR app. Too sad there is only the chinese app

Were you able to use the Mi VR headset? I have a Mi5 with Global ROM MIUI 8.1.4.0 but when I plug the phone to the VR I got a black screen saying that I have to unplug the phone.

Thats weird. Where did you get the apk from?
I've also installed it on lineage, it won't run, but app symbol is there and also should be there on global miui.

I installed last MIUI Global dev ROM and installed the App (downloaded directly from Xiaomi market) and it works fine, EXCEPT that the controller does not work properly: its buttons work fine, but the pointer does not move when I move the controller around. It's not a pairing issue, as in one particular game (a paper airplane flying through the mountains) moving the controller does move the plane...it seems like a weird software issue that makes me think that only China version of the ROM has been thoroughly tested with Mi VR and that support in the Global dev ROM is untested / limited.
Does anybody else had the same experience with the controller not moving the pointer in menus etc?
Also, for those that have it working with Global Dev ROM, any clues on how to make this work on LineageOS, perhaps moving a few folder from MIUI DEV GLOBAL to the LineageOS system files?

Yes, same here. Didn't try the paper game yet, but it doesn't react to the moves of the controller. Does it have to outside from games? I'm on latest xiaomi.eu ROM (MIUI 8.3)

Z2 Pro has Mirrorcast but not Mirrorlink?!

Hello,
had to learn what my beloved Z2 Pro has working Mirrorcast (self tested in my car head unit) but Mirrorlink is not working ?!
Thought Mirrorlink is only like Mirrorcast plus app Controll via Bluetooth...
All things are working exept showing the mobile display in the head unit.
I can use my finger moving on the head unit display shown as mousecursor on the mobile display.
Anybody knows if it is a hardware problem or do I have the chance to change the ROM and then ML is working?
If yes which ROM?
I'm using the 2.5.335ST at the moment.
Maybe some of the alternative ROM users can look if there is a option: Mirrorlink ? (mostly unter WLAN or under Display settings...)
Thanxs in advance.
additional question: Does anyone have a working MHL(HDMI) to USB-Type-C Cabel?

Which is best functionnating ir blaster app?

As its written above, i am open for hints about ir blaster app what works.
Thy

What would you do with the IR first at all? If you know what, then according to your need, you can download some app.

id recommend the stock MIUI app for the IR blaster. has tons of functionality and lots of different applications preinstalled its called Mi Remote and can be downloaded from the play store

You can find it on google somewhere, the Miui remote app. I find it the best one as it has all devices available with just one touch.

as mentioned before, its available on playstore as a regular app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duokan.phone.remotecontroller&hl=en
