Samsung Omnia I900 D-pad Buttons / Directional Keys / Emulator

Hello!

Samsung OMNIA as a WQVGA (400x240) resolution, and most of all applications is designed for VGA and QVGA resolutions (640x480 and 320x240 respectively).

OMNIA game control is difficult if you want to use d-pad buttons or directional keys.

So, I was just wondering, if some one can develop an emulator that simulates d-pad buttons on OMNIA and make use of the 1/3 of the screen unused for VGA and QVGA applications.

Any one could help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brendo:
Looking great!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vanilla_star_8:
it would be awesome if you could add mouse..

like use the phone as a mouse with the camera for positioning..

like this clip

The number keys on the full qwerty keyboard on the Touch Diamond, not pro, do not register. When switching to the default keyboard the number keys do register. Would be great if the numbers would register on the Diamond full qwerty keyboard. Great app, just donated to you and will continue, keep up the great work.

OMNIA D-PAD and ACTION BUTTONS

Samsung OMNIA as a WQVGA (400x240) resolution, and most of all applications is designed for VGA and QVGA resolutions (640x480 and 320x240 respectively).

OMNIA game control is difficult if you want to use d-pad buttons or directional keys.

So, I was just wondering, if some one can develop an emulator that simulates d-pad buttons and action buttons on OMNIA and make use of the 1/3 of the screen unused for VGA and QVGA applications.

Here is my idea:

OMNIA DreamPAD

What do you think about it?

Any one to help me with the "development"?

.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brendo:
yes, that would be cool. use the extra 160pixels at the bottom/side (wvga is 800x480) as dpad and make apps think screen is actually 640x480

maybe start a new thread?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sergio PC:
What bout something like this: Youtube Link
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Semi666:
Im constantly getting error when i try to use mouse :

"Gremote.exe"

OverflowException

Value was either too large or too small for an Int32 :(

Any idea whats going on ? Need more memory ?

I have latest Swiftblade ROM and arround 46pct free memory.. Using WinXP on computer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] toby77jo:
it seems to have problem running the mouse applet on vista 64 bit, get explorer error on the diamond, int32 something....

works fine in vista 32 bit though..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] diamondino:
is it possibile to make it work via bluetooth WITHOUT PAN?

will be the bt implemented? [or do i need to buy a router?]
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wired69:
I would like to see this too. As far as I know the following is true:

- ActiveSync via USB will only work if you select 'Enable advanced network functionality' from 'USB to PC' under connection settings

- Bluetooth connection only possible via PAN

Unfortunately, neither option works for me. When I use 'Enable advanced network functionality' at home or work, I either get disconnected from the internet on my PC or I get an issue with 'rapimgr.exe' maxing out a core on my CPU and you can't kill it without rebooting.

Bluetooth PAN is not option for me either as I already have ICS set up on my server at home so I am unable to use it for Bluetooth.

Other client/server software I have tried (such as Signal) is capable of using a regular ActiveSync connection, is there no way this could be achieved for GRemote?

Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] merrica:
I dont have any real use for this app myself, but just wanted to say wow. Absolutely fantastic idea, and really professionally executed.

One of the best apps I've seen yet on xda-dev (even if I dont use it myself)

kudos to the developers on this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
OMNIA is 400x240 I am afraid.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
I'm thinking about it. But you can use BT PAN networking without router...

But I know it is a little hard to configure.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mugglesquop:
very impressed!!

(navigated back to this page and wrote this message with it :p)

Thanks!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sevennl:
I love the new options in V2.0

The pad works perfectly in the Windows XBMC.

Will the next version also have the 'glow when pressed' on the arrow pad and media control ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HTCDiamond22:
Could we Create a TF3D Tab for this great App?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HTCDiamond22:
another idea is, could we create gestures

with the g-sensor, like fliping through vistas Alt-Tab 3d interface, i imagine, pushing a small button then moving my phone forward or backward to scroll through my vista apps

change the volume by moving up or down, or even better, clockwise for louder, anti-clockwise for softer

change songs, by left for back or right for forward
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
or make nice multitouch gestures like the new macbooks

(ok joking)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HTCDiamond22:
a pc gestures app ?

this is fantastic :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HTCDiamond22:
lol, but it is possible, if only for zooming, but i don't think that it would be of much use, we would also need vista drivers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fraktal:
This software is amazing...it's so professional.

I had a great idea for the media-center control side - at the moment scrolling through long lists is tedious unless you use the "scroll wheel" from the mouse program...so why not put touchflo-style momentum dragging onto the directional pad, so that if you drag across the screen it will press (for example) the "right" key several times in succession?

And then, of course, the speed and could be dependedent on the speed that you dragged, and it could slowly slow down, and if you tapped or held the screen the movement could stop, blah, blah, blah...of course when you're not encumbered by actually having to make the damn thing you can have loads of nutty ideas!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] expo7:
Im working on this but its now not finished!

The V2.0 should only show what we have done, and what you can do with this app :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
MAin bugs fixed.

New version uploaded.

Enjoy and donate me if you like it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mbarabas:
Very nice application, congratulation, and thank you!

Ideas: mute on incoming call option? ; winamp support

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alken00:
everything looks great.. love the new enhancement & features.. great job!!

but one bug still not fix where the program crashes for the first launch.. after restart.. it's working perfectly.. doesn't bother me as the error only pops up for the first time.. but just to let you know to perfection the program..

Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lostsoul:
I can't uninstall an earlier version of GRemote.

"Marbalon's GRemoteSetup was not completely removed...."

And I can't install the new version.

I've deleted all maps en registerkeys I could find. This is driving me crazy!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
what version are you using?

I thoughtI fix msin problem with ctashes...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nzor:
HI, last version (.2) works for me, but .21 crash with net3.5 error...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] erictham83:
Sorry, i am new to this site. In the v0.2.1...what is the last components that coming soon? I try the latest one and i found all function are cool and completed.So i just wonder what is the last function and what it do? Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hkpeople:
this version 0.2.1 ok now..,

I can use keyboard's backspace,,

and using internal keyboard,,

but can not input chinese word
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sensimilla:
Just tried out this app and it is absolutely great.

It did crash the first time I used it when I touched to start the mouse control, the error looked the same as the one mentioned earlier in this thread (Version 2.1 and 1.93 WWE rom). It works fine after restarting it.

I'm just so pleased that it works with linux, it is perfect for controling my pc when I am using it on the TV, or it will be when all the buttons work ;-) .

Many many thanks your hard work is much appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] davadk:
The new version is excellent. Love the new features (especially the navigation for Mediacenter) and can't wait to try the touchpad-thing. And it's great looking too!

I hope it's okay to request a new feature to the server: The option to install GRemoteServer.exe as a service - it would be nice to have GRemoteServer running in the background at the windows-logon screen in order to use GRemote for entering login credentials.

I hope it's worth considering :)

GXboxRemote

Hi,

i have a xbox with xbmc.

i found an app calls XBMCControl, but it's not realy finger friendly.

i wrote a little AutoIt Script to catch key inputs and send a http request to my xbox.

It works fine with GPad, because GPad using simple keys.

I can't catch the Multimedia Buttons.

I'm using Vista and conneting to my Diamond over PAN.

the source is quick and dirty, but autoit script is very simple to understand.

if typing wrong ip, change it in "gxr-config.ini"

If some body can help me with the Media-Button, plz post.

EDIT: NEW UPLOAD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bennojensen:
dont work for me .?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Well seems to work great - but you need to find why it crashes the first time you open the app.

Numeric keyboard now works.

anyway, PEOPLE YOU *CAN* SWITCH LANGUAGE, why you say you cannot?

I have in my (PC) keyboard language switch at CTRL-SHIFT (like it that way), so I pressed the "virtual" ctrl (on Pro screen) with the real Shift (on Pro keyboard) and yes I switched language! I suppose it must still work with the virtual ALT along with real Shift (that most of you use).

Haven't tried punctuation though... (I suppose the correct button is missing from the layout anyway)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ImpactMan:
Hello!

Excellent work. Can you make this program more versatile?

Can you make it work on WQVGA devices??

WQVGA users will be really tankful!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] erictham83:
Sorry.Can anyone please tell me what is the last function of the GRemote that coming soon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alken00:
I installed the latest version 0.2.1.. and I am running on 1.37.707.1 WWE ROM version..

the error basically the same as b4.. good luck in rectifying the issue.. cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
- Touchpad function coming soon...

- TouchFlo for scrolling

- fixed some errors,

Best regards,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] egyled:
Great job

I'm impressed this is the most application i liked ever, I want to share with u 2 things, first I played with G pad race games it works fine but u have to push every direction alone, is there a way to use 2 buttoms at the same time, the second thing is it possible to simulate those push with free mode like in g mouse, it will be perfect playing all games using the 4 directions wireless and by just moving the phone upward downward left al right :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] erictham83:
Thanks....it really a great tool for diamond. I like it much and thanks fort the great great job.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dyter:
I use a mediacenter in saloon, this tool is very usefull for that, thanks !:)

(Due to my high screen resolution, the mouse speed is very slow)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] expo7:
You can change the mouse speed in the server app!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Colin_ger:
I noticed the server-app is preventing my mediacenter pc from shutting down.

For example:

GRemote server is running, I'm trying to shut down. Some programs are closing, the gRemote icon diappeared from the taskbar. Nothing happens. I notice gRemote is still running by looking at the taskmanager.

As soon as I kill the server-app through taskmanager I can shut the pc down.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alken00:
I had the same problem.. I have to manually kill the GRemote Server b4 I can even shutdown my PC.. hope this can be rectify... thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:

great app, waiting for the touchpad option.

keyboard function is working good with hard and soft keyboard from the touch pro.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] davadk:
I had the same problem back when I was using XP's Mediacenter. There is not a problem with the shutdown on Vista's Mediacenter AFAIK.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
Known bug need to be fixed ;)

Just wait for next release...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] EazyVG:
Linux port will be coming .... that's twice awesome. Nice to know that a developr of such a cool application is using Linux and will support it :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
It would be great if GRemote could help turn the TD into a nice wireless Powerpoint presentation device! Control the presentation slides and look at your notes or whatever else you have running on your TD screen :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CarpeNoctum:
Excellent idea!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
GRemote should work with PowerPoit too, I have plans to make some skins for different apps which sends different keys. Maybe I made a skin API to make own skins for cusstom apps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I wrote something called Omnipresence to do just that:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Omnipresence

It's basically a remote desktop type application designed for the Diamond. I run my powerpoint presentations using it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HTCDiamond22:
app called ppc tablet is perfect for that http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompWeb/Modules/PPCTablet/WhatIsIt.aspx

omnipresence is also great,

looking forward to this mouse app!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gobmonster:
While this thread is still thriving, i want to make a few unearthly suggestion/request

The mouse would be awesome, but i also want keyboard emulation via the phone (hardware or not, just being able to type from afar)

If all else fells gesensor wise, it wouldnt hurt to have the screen behave like a laptops touch pad
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] horstborsch:
Yes! A mouse-via-gsens control and a fullscreen keyboard to type, that would make this a perfect controlling device for media pc´s!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mmp7:
great idea, can't wait to see it in action
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mandragore:
Cheers, I knew you started on your Omnipresence remote desktop in July. Just wasn't aware it had progressed enough for something like running Powerpoint presentations. I'll check it out!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
OK first report:

1) Seems to work with WiFi, but not with ActiveSync (?).

2) It took some time before I realized that you need to have your finger on the screen for this to work. Maybe you should draw something on the center of the screen (like "touch here").

3) When WiFi is enabled, for some reason the top bar is not hidden and the two funky "LEDs" don't show.

4) I managed to crash it after some rough moves:

GRemote.exe

OverflowException

σε System.Convert.ToByte(Int32 value)

σε GRemote.MainForm.SensorTimer_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e)

σε System.Windows.Forms.Timer._WnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)

σε System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationThreadContext._InternalContextMessages(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)

σε Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterModalDialog(IntPtr hwnModal)

σε System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowDialog()

σε GRemote.Welcome.Connect_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

σε System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem.OnClick(EventArgs e)

σε System.Windows.Forms.Menu.ProcessMnuProc(Control ctlThis, WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)

σε System.Windows.Forms.Form.WnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)

σε System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)

σε Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop(IntPtr hwnMain)

σε System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)

σε GRemote.Program.Main()

(σε means in)

5) Users remember to add an exception in your firewall for the server executable! (btw what port does it use?)

6) The server notification icon should change color when there is a connection (a la VNC).

7) Needs much tweaking with the g-sensor yet.

GREAT potential here man! GREAT work!

Hi

OK, upon testing the GPad with Media center.. A few suggestions if possible.

The "Windows" logo key just opens the windows start menu - Really needs to be opening Windows Media center program, not the start menu. Then you can press the button to go back to the main media center screen when watching television etc.

Also a Volup and Voldown button would be nice within the GPad to control the media center volume. Right now, witching to Gmedia and using those volume controls works fine, but there should be no need to switch applets.

Also and "I" (info) button would be great. While watching TV in Media Center, you can press the "I" button to bring up zoom settings etc, right now, you cannopt get to this menu without an "I" button, so this would be fantastic.

if u took a deep looking at the picture of the (soon) thing u will realize that its a mouse pad:p

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Polluxus:
Older versions worked for me. 0.2 crashed once in a while on switching profiles. After a restart it would work again. But 0.2.1 always crashes on touch with an overflow exception. After closing the application I lose my top windows taskbar and need to soft reset.

Running official 1.93 without G-sen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marbalon:
You don't need restart. Just open GRemote and exit form welcome screen. Most bugs are fixed in 0.3.0 version, and will be released very soon...
