I purchased a Sony Bravia KDL-40EX525 a few months ago and noticed that there were official remote control apps for Android and iPhone from Sony but, unfortunatelly, not for WP7 (not even an unofficial one). Since I own a LG Optimus 7 I got curious about this and started to develop something similar for myself, specifically because I hate using the stock remote control to enter text.
I based my work on this blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/andypennell...ws-phone-7-5-mango-part-1-ssdp-discovery.aspx. Many thanks to Andy Pennell for that, his post was really helpful and a great starting point.
The app requires you to be on the same network as the TV.
If you want to try this make sure the TV is ON (give it time to initialize the services. It cannot be turned on/off with this app because it has to talk to the IRCC service that is only available when the device is ON). See the screen of your TV the first time you run the app because it requires that you register your device in order to be able to iterate.
I appreciate your feedbacks, suggestions, bug report or questions that you may have.
Tested on models:
- KDL-40EX525 (mine)
- KDL-32HX758 (thanks lordmaxey)
It should work on:

Thanks and enjoy :good:. I've just updated the post to list the models we know it works... Hope to see more feedback here
Hi!
I wanted to try your app, but my television (w655) didn't want to agree on that.
Are you maybe willing to share the source code of the app?
Or do you want to check why it's not working?
Thanks!

Hey there,
I've been researching a little bit about it before. It looks like Sony changed completely the way to remote control in latest models, specially W series. No documentation about that. So, the only way to try to discover how it works now, is to have a W series to try with (which I do not have)
Sorry about that.
What you can do is try to discover how the new service works by yourself, so we can expand the compatibility of the App. If you are interested, I can guide you with some clues, tools and techinches I used in the past to do so.
I may open the code, I haven't even considered it but I think it's a good idea.

I've been playing with our 2013 model a couple of days now, and it seems the controls still works (compatible with 2012) but the registration process is not necessary anymore...
Anyway, if you put the code somehwere, i'll try if it works somehow
thanks!

Sounds good, give me a couple of days to set it up and will let you know.
In the meantime, does your device description xml look like this one? http://www.upnp-database.info/device.jsp?deviceId=662 (See Description XML tab). If so, you may want to try ScalarWebAPI service on your modes. In that xml you can get some urls that will return some valuable (or not) information that may give you some clues.
Stay tunned,

I'm not sure you model actually supports to be remote controlled as it isn't event listed by sony as supported (see supported models above).
Does the app find your model? (be sure both are connected to the same lan)

Hey, sorry for the delay on sharing the code, I changed laptop and had to re-setup my dev env. Will try to have it done for the weekend.
In the meantime...I wonder what all this urls return:
http://192.168.1.54/sony/guide
http://192.168.1.54/sony/system
....
http://192.168.1.54/sony/irCommandProxy
Basically everything under <av:X_ScalarWebAPI_ServiceList> from dmr.xml. Actually, I would try any url available in that file
We should see where getRemoteCommandList api is located (together with other relevant APIs)
In previous models it was returned as a result from http://192.168.1.54/cers/ActionList.xml. It should be somewhere else now.
Also, did you confirmed that there is no registration required now at all?
Thanks!!!

just browsing to the "site" just gives an empty page...
it only reply's on json requests
all commands i've found so far are from capturing traffic from my android tablet
check here: http://mendelonline.be/sony/sony.txt
further, the "register" function exists, but it not really necesarry...
i noticed the sony tablet app registering, but i can just send commands from upnpspy directly from my pc without registering...
another thingy: wol is just basic wake on lan
I received an email from the creator of the windows app that works for our 2013 model bravia. (http://falcosoft.hu/softwares.html#sony_virtual_remote)
Hi,
I would like to share my experiences with you, maybe it can help in the
investigation of the new API structure.
1. The registered status is not required in 2011/12 Sony TV models either to
send pure IRCC SOAP messages (or use the X_SendIRCC UPnP service) .
2. The registered status is required to get meaningful response from url
based API functions (e.g sendText, getText, getRemoteCommandList etc..)
So just an idea: You should try to test these new URL based commands with a
registered status. To achieve this:
1. You should make a new registration and send these data with your browser
2. Use an existing registration e.g. Falcosoft's Sony Virtual Remote and
send the program's data with your browser.
I suggest to use Firefox with Modify Headers plugin. For option 2 here are
the required header fields:
'X-CERS-DEVICE-ID' -> 'vaio:11111111-D7A0-11DD-119C-6D990C3C4529' ;
'X-CERS-DEVICE-INFO' -> 'falco_virtual_remote' ;

Interesting fact that that app works for you. I think this is because that app uses some hardcoded data by default while BraviaControl completely relies on the APIs exposed by the services. It looks like some APIs where left there "hidden" for backward compatibility purposes. I think we should try something like: Cannot find the APIs?, try to force the use. In your case, it may partially (or completely, why not?) work.
Anyway, all that json conversation looks like to be the new way to comunicate with the TV, so, it will be nice to implement that sometime too.
Thanks! I have already set up the code in the cloud. Will be sending the details on how to access it soon (Sorry, I don't currently have very much time free for this project, so bear with me )
I've began to write up a guide for getting Arch usable on the Nexus 7. I just threw it up on google docs because I'm too lazy to try to do the wiki thing until it's more complete. Hopefully it is far enough along to get things rolling for people who are looking to experiment with arch.
Anyway, it's a work in progress, if anyone has suggestions, correction, completions, criticisms, etc then holler.

The following is a list of things that need to be addressed or that I want to address. These things will be tackled in no particular order but hopefully over time the number bugs and problems will go down relative to the number of features I want to add.
Feel free to comment with your own ideas or bug reports.
Fix slow shutdowns after enabling networking with netctl
Fix whatever extremely verbose crash shows up on shutdown after setting up bluetooth
Get bluetooth working without hacks and under bluez5
Get a graphical login working
On screen keyboard (especially at login screen)
Set up an aur and/or googlecode project to automate some of the scripting required to get things working
Automate the process with some kind of setup tool
Replace the google doc with a wiki page in a relevant place
Make a custom spin that works more out of the box
Sound
GPS
Accelerometer
Magnetometer
Hardware buttons
Any other sensors that I forgot or am unaware of
Auto screen rotation
For the section on setting up fastboot and adb...it's safe to assume someone installing arch on the nex7 probably has arch on their pc too. For arch, you need to set up access to the AUR, with a package manager that has access to it, i.e. yaourt. Then you can get android-sdk-platform-tools. The rest of the guide looks good. I personally like wicd for my network manager as it is easier to add and remove networks when you go to new locations, and I installed e17(enlightenment desktop).

Thanks for the feedback
I don't have arch on my pc at the moment, so it's not a given, but i think you are right that people are probably more likely to have arch if they are looking at this guide. I updated the guide with info on how to install the tools from AUR. Also added links to wicd and Network Manager in the arch wiki so people are aware of some options if they don't like netctl, and mentioned that e17 works.
Xorg with alarm on nexus 7
Okay, got ALarm installed on my nexus 7 8GB.
For Xorg, I used files from "plasma active" nexus 7 distribution.
Just take them from the plasma active and put them into your /etc/X11 and X should work.
(I can't post a link, must wait 10 posts, I'll link the files later or you can PM me)
My only problem now is to put a cross-compile toolchain on my computer to be able to compile e17 with illume modules. Tried to compile on my tablet but it's too slow and I've not enough disk free to finish. If anybody can help on this point…
What distribution are you using on your PC? Also you can pm me the link for the xorg configuration and I'll post it for you
OK so I have come as far as installing multirom and I installed the archlinux rom and got this error when I tried to boot it
"kexec-hardboot support required to boot this kernel"
How do I resolve this?

Go back and reread the multirom thread, then install a kexec-hardboot patched kernel in your internal rom.

I've began to write up a guide for getting Arch usable on the Nexus 7. I just threw it up on google docs because I'm too lazy to try to do the wiki thing until it's more complete. Hopefully it is far enough along to get things rolling for people who are looking to experiment with arch.
Anyway, it's a work in progress, if anyone has suggestions, correction, completions, criticisms, etc then holler.

bluetooth
I have bluetooth (almost) working. I've put instructions in the guide. They aren't really a final solution, but maybe people who are running gui's can tell me if they work. I know I have the hardware working because I can see my keyboard when I scan for it, but I can't figure out how to get bluez5 to pair from the command line. Hopefully someone has better luck with a gui?
bluetooth
I've got Bluetooth working. I even have it pairing automatically on boot with a keyboard. Its an ugly solution but it works. The guide has been updated. I'll tackle X next
My Arch Install
Hey just wanted to add my install experience to the thread hopefully to help others. First of all I want say thanks for all documentation from the previous posters. I tried to follow the instructions as close as possible for a kde install, but I ran into some trouble with lightdm, so I tried kdm instead. And I can happily report it has worked swimmingly. Instructions on how to setup kdm, navigate to /usr/share/config/kdm. First edit the kdmrc to turn off the themed greeter. Then add the xvkbd to the XSetup file as in the lightdm setup. Another thing I did was utilize the plasmaboard widget on my main kde panel for my on screen keyboard once I log in. It seems to work much better than xvkbd for me. I can also confirm flash is working great.
So this really close to totally replacing my linux laptop, especially when I am on the go, in fact I am writing this post on the device in arch. However one key piece is still missing for me is sound. I can't seem to coax any sound out the device with my arch install, and amarok crashes on startup, even though both these items were working perfectly in ubuntu. If any one has any ideas how to make audio and amarok work I would be immensely grateful. Also thanks again, I am so happy to be rid of the X11 touch race condition. I have added a screenshot of me editing this post for those interested as well.
Figured out sound!
I think i found a solution to all of my troubles from my previous post. Amarok started working after a pacman update. My general audio problems seem to be caused by the linux for tegra audio drivers lack of head phone jack detection, I found a workaround the ubuntu nexus 7 launchpad bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7/+bug/1068804/comments/24. For the tldr crowd basically you have to use alsamixer manually mute and unmute the int_spkr channel for speaker audio and the int_mic channel to enable headphones. Then you can use the output and and hp to channels adjust volume for speaker and headphones respectively. It also might help to do a suspend resume cycle i sound still isn't working. Thanks to everyone else, hopefully others will find this useful as well.
Many thanks for your work!!! I'm using it on a nexus 7 with glass and touch broken (unuseless) but now it lives!!! and is a very responsive lxde desktop with xrdp starting on boot which I use with amule or bittorrent all night long...
two questions:
1) for me it does not work shutdown -r now or reboot... it close immediately all network connections but I have to keep power button 10 sec to restart system...
2) using it with an hub usb I'm trying to connect a big hard disk: pcmanfm (lxde file manager) refuse to mount it saying than it is not authorized... (I've followed archlinux wiki: it work on my archlinux desktop but not in nexus 7).

It's not working because currently I only have first-party controller keylayouts. I'll add it to my request list and see what I can do.

It's on my to-do list. I'm currently caught up in schoolwork (It's tough balancing this with college lol), so it might take a while to get around to it, but once I get to work on it it shouldn't take too long to finish.
Unable to download with magisk for some reason.
Can I get a link to download the zip file to install using twrp
Nvm fixed it

Are you unable to download just this module, or anything off the repo? If it's only this module that you can't download, then it's an issue with my repo, if it's everything, then it's another issue all together.

All moduls. It's Wierd it comes and goes
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------
Would GREATLY APPRECIATE.
along with many other people a link to an installation zip of the mod.
Would eliminate this issue for people in the future.
Gives more options for install methods.
My research has shown that installing anything in twrp on 7.0 galaxy so edge leads to magisk downloads not installing.
Please do upload and include a link on the forum to a twrp install of this mod.
Just installed magisk and it is very different from the old version and was wondering how do I turn off root with it to enable pokemon go and android pay?
Thank You.

1 - Wrong thread.
2 - You need to read the official Magisk announcement thread. It's very informative...

Has support for third party Xbox controllers been added?

Not yet, unfortunately it's not quite as simple as it appeared to be, since there is no universal keyconfig file for every third party controller. I'm having to find specific keyconfig files for every individual controller, which is not entirely possible.

This update was an Offical update via HiSuite *EVA-L09C900B300*
I already contacted the Huawei support and they dont know this issue and can not help me out.
I tested all sensors with some apps and they seems ok.

Have you tried scanning the QR code for your headset with Google cardboard?
Like the ones here?
Peace
Yes but nothing changed. :/
Just tested my vr headset and can confirm the same - vr apps don't work.
Hopefully Huawei will update the code for Nougat to fix this!

Thanks you! Im glad that im not alone with this problem
I called Huawei-Germany and they will check this today.
Hello. Some apps work for me but most do not (the shaking display in VR/drifting display in 360 mode. For example Monzo, Titans of Space, Debris Defrag and few others works fine, including Google's Design Lab. However the same Google's Cardboard Demos go crazy as well as Apollo 15, Mars and You Tube. Funny but Street view starts with a malfunction, but then a window pops up suggesting do download Google VR Services (which is incompatible with my P9), so when You return to app, it works OK (stable view). Same experience? Please share, so maybe it will be easier to find a solution.
Yes, as above, some apps work and others don't. I have a feeling it's how the apps read data off the sensors on the phone but I'm no coding expert.
I even tried side loading Google VR Service but it didn't help...
Im developing VR games for almost year, and I never encounter such problem on P9 even with latest update.
Most of problems can be related to SDK that specific apps use. Not to system it self
Sadly even with all those hype with VR, most of cardboard apps and games are made by single person devs(like me) and most of them dont update cardboard SDK of their products to be compatible with latest Android versions, because response/amount of downloads are not sufficient to push that product forward, its too much time and effort, rewarded by lack of any respond, only some random people complaining about things that actually are not realated to game/app but their device.
As far as product that use unity engine are less vulnerable for gyro-related problems, other products need way more tinkering under the hood, and its harder to keep it optimized for all available devices.
As a selfish guy that didnt spend a cent on advertising so I need to ask for every download, I would like to ask you to check my game and see if it have that problem(sadly it need controller, but you can see how gyro work anyway in main menu). Its based on Unity engine so you can check how it work with that engine.

And also I could ask you to download VR theater app that is not based on Unity and it contain latest Cardboard SDK so we can see if your problem is related to software of cardboard or its specific update of P9.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.couchgames.apps.cardboardcinema
Also small tip: as far as Google Cardboard app is really handy, VR services are actually not needed, and they are mostly for Daydream-compatible devices.
+ here are QRcodes for almost all VR goggles so you can scan them using Cardboard configuration assistant(that small gear in the middle of screen)
http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/faq/vr-headset-qr-codes/
I've found that Unity based apps fare the worst on the P9 as far as VR goes.
Will try the above when I get back to WiFi !!
I tried all apps and still the same problem :/
I also tried different QR codes for my goggles, nothing changed.
*Titans of Space* works
I still waiting for an answer from Huawei-Germany.

Neither of these apps work for me.
Thanks tho :good:
I have this problem as well.
EVA-L19C636B361
any updates?
It seems Titans of Space works flawlessly.
You can also get Gravity Pull working if you lock-and-unlock the screen while in game.
I have the same problem with my eval09c432b378??
Same problem
I have the same problem and none of the other apps work.
Sam problem
Could you try Cardboard design lab. That seems to work for me strangely enough. However it doesn't improve the problem though.

I tried Cardboard design lab, works flawlessly.
it's a bummer how only specific app are working/not working. The Huawei support guy I talked to is blaming the app developers.
Just updated to EVA-L09C432B383 and vr apps are now working flawlessly (at least, the ones i use) :good:
