Looking for a remote to use - Remix Mini General

I'm looking for a remote to use with my mini..
A Bluetooth keyboard is a little unwieldy. Looking for a a handheld remote (preferably) or an app to run on my phone or tablet. Any ideas?

If you indeed only need to have a simple (non-full) control, PPC Tablet Remote Control Suite is prolly the best solution. It's been reviewed & compared to the other remote apps in my related Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s for Windows Mobile - the Definitive Roundup
For a more general solution (which may turn out to be an overkill in your case), see my other Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC!

I use Remote Touch and Remote Desktop Mobile, I have used the latter for 6mths over GPRS and am still impressed.
GRemote to control PC Media devices, also has a cool laptop Touchpad style mouse...
Cannot live without My Mobiler to control my Kaiser from my PC
ALL of these work over wireless lan, blutooth and the internet
how well does remote desktop work? Does it allow you to view your PC screen on your phone? Its something iv considered trying but iv never been to sure on what the results would be/whether it would be worth it!

OK here is an app I believe it might do what you're asking, honestly I haven't tried it enough (only showed my Laptop's screen on my tilt's screen, which's -as you know- so small for comfortable viewing), then I could handle it (windows explorer of my laptop) almost completely.., so yea I guess this can help, "Z2 Remote2PC"
the publisher's site is: <www.z2software.com>.. and of course.. google

[Q] Remote Mouse App?

Does anybody know of a good remote mouse/keyboard app for Android? I'm looking for something where I can use my phone as a trackpad/keyboard to control my PC or Mac. If anybody knows anything please let me know! Thanks!!
are you planning to be tethered to the pc ? (ie: connected thru usb port?) or are you trying to basically run a remote-desktop thru wifi a/o cell-system ?
honestly, i have no answer for you... but i must admit this is one of the more interesting questions ive seen... on the first-hand, the hero is way-too-powerful to just be using it as a mouse - altho i guess it could be used that way... otoh, i do not think that the hero would make an effective remote-desktop because it would be under-powered...
ah well, just curious... hope you find something that does whatever it is you want to do... if you are a comman-line-guy, i imagine you could remote-shell (using whatever putty-equivalent-terminals are available) into your pc...

GMote look for it in the market. works great over wifi. it is not marketed as a remote keyboard / mouse app. it is something like a video player. when it loads press menu and then touchpad.
I use TightVNC on desktop and androidVNC on phone, works well.

Controlling Android on a Raspberry Pi

I realize this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to find the answer. If I install Android on a Raspberry Pi attached to my TV, how do I control it? Is there a way to use a regular remote control?
There is always the wireless Keyboard and Mouse option.
I believe you can also use multi-touch touchpads such as Wacom Bamboo.

Thanks for the reply.I was hoping to use a media center remote or something similar, but I assume none of the drivers will work.
If you want to control your RPi using a remote I wouldn't install Android (The current builds aren't that stable and are buggy at best). I would recommend taking a look at Raspbmc, it's Xbmc for the RPi and should be compatible with a variety of media remote controls.

You can Use a Normal Mouse (And Keyboard)
Xbmc isn't really what I'm looking for. If a keyboard and mouse work, maybe someone will figure out how to use a remote.
When android is more polished I think you will have options

What are you looking for then? Since you want to drive it using an IR remote (I'm guessing), that typically indicates some sort of media center.

I run Windows Media Center on all my tv's with the Ceton Companion app to control it. Currently the app does not support streaming live tv but it is supposed to be in the works. When it finally supports streaming to android, I could build a small raspberry pi box and use it as an extender when I'm out of town. If nothing else I would finally have an excuse to buy one.

this is something like what I want, too. I would ultimately like to have an HTPC running android that supports video streaming, local media playback, live tv and streaming of everything above to all my connected devices.....like xbmc, but also with an option to use it as an android device when necessary. I don't want to have to use a mouse and keyboard for it either since my tv is too far away from the couch for that to be a reasonable option.....but mouse and kb support are still necessary for some things. IMHO, the best possible option would be a logitech remote that also has an on-screen pointer and motion controls like a wii remote has.
......come to think of it, an app supporting a wii remote to control android functions wouldn't exactly be a bad solution!!
you can use raspbmc instead of android if you are willing to use it as media center. it also has broader possibilities for choosing a remote.
http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/user/configuring-remotes/
but i prefer this one most
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote
enjoy !
I use a regular remote from my tv when i use raspmbc since it supports cec. The xbmc remote most people use through their Android device is specific for xbmc, so it wouldnt do much good with anything else. Droidmote isnt the prettiest but its functions well. Theres a lot of apps for remotes, that even take advantage of voice and nfc. So when Android is running stable enough, you will be able to take your pic. If your not interested in embedded hardware or other similar usages for the pi, you could always get a g box midnight or minix neo g4 or 5. There all dual core and come rooted with firmware updates that will give you JB and xbmc. There is a quad core one that is out or coming out and will come with JB and full hardware acceleration.

You can also use Tablet Remote

or LANmote

Yatse is a damn good remote for xbmc, it syncs your library list to your device, so you can scroll on device, links to imdb for movies,you can change audio tracks,dl subtitles, and all sorts of cool stuff. And it's free

You can already stream to your ras pi from windows or wherever, I like prefer my tablet or phone. Download the app bubbleupnp from the playstore and it will populate a library of videos, music whatever you have on the device by selecting it as the local renderer and it will see the raspi then press play. Also some android apps like youtube for ex.you can just share it to the app and it will play on your tv connected to the pi. If I want a remote I use the official xmbc remote or if im using a win box to get the media ill use unified remote app. Which then gets cool cause you can use voice and all kinds of stuff.
