[TABLET Z COMPETITION ENTRY] Open Source IR Blaster + Robots - Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development

[About]
What This Project Is About ?
There are some really cool android devices that are out that include an IR (infra red) "blaster" transmitter, however there is yet no open method of making use of this within apps. This project intends to create an open method for developers to create apps that make use of this device type.
Where does robotics come in to it ?
I thought it would be fun to bring this project together in a way that isnt just zapping TV's on and off so i will construct some sort of robotic platform that will be controled by the Z and its IR transever (however i presume there will be some TV zapping involved as well)
[Progress]
[29/06/2013] Tablet Z has arrived and I have started to examine the data passed to and from the IR device /dev/ttyHSL2
[01/07/2013] Refined the control procedure for the IR blaster & found some of the important commands (get version & send key code)
[08/07/2013] Pushed current code to github (ability to learn and send learnt commands)
[14/07/2013] Updated app to enable in tree building for cm10.1 (see links section)

[Building For CM10.1]
As of 14/07/2013 you will need the following patches from the CM review site
1) http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45560/
2) http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45562/
And the following git repo (branch cm-10.1) synced under packages/apps/SonyOpenIR/

Reserved #2

Subscribed - I would love to see an open source IR feature.

The tablet Z has arrived, im now starting to examine the data passed to the IR device

Looks a nice project, would be keen to see what can be done with the IR remote if there was an open API

Iv had a quick mess around with monitoring the data ...... here is the result (soon to be) totally open powering on/off of a TV
Not bad for the first day

As I haven't got ability to see all the device keys that the IR controller supports I have started work on the IR learn and send features. I hope to publish a test binary (not APK) tonight :victory:
PS turning a TV on and off via recovery ...... gets old fast

when this project is finished will be absolutely perfect.ir is the only serious thing missing from cm(and every other derivative like p.a.c.) and it is extremely useful so some open source binaries and an open source app would be awesome.it could also control other devices like a/c.infrared has million uses...

this project + halo in pac rom can act like the hover remote in sony firmware
looking forward to it

Thats the plan this will work with AOSP roms in its current form, however its easy to develop alongside the stock app to check the functionality.

Just pushed current code to github and thrown up a test APK, find them in the 2nd post of this thread

i have downloaded and installed just fine on cm10.1 nd pacman but evertime i go into the app it as for superuser the first time i allow forever. but i guess it ask for superuser a second time but i get no pop window asking for su permissions. and superuser gets denied a this second check. so cant even proper su to even run app correctly

What does everyone think ?

Looking good, I think there is a lot of unused space on the screen though. I would suggest bigger buttons. Furthermore I think SwiftKey did something really great with their tablet keyboard by splitting it. I would like to have a layout option which supports something like this as well, with many used buttons (like ch+ ch- volume buttons and maybe navigation buttons) on the far left and far right side of the screen.

Thank you for your feedback, ill attempt to increase the button size however i have the intention of adding more buttons (allong with a device type specific layout) however im not brilliant at android UI stuff :/

It would be cool if you could drag and drag the buttons to configure your layout however you like. Straight up bonus if it included resizing like on your home screen. Some sort of grid system?

the device type specifi layout would be perfect.also you could ask the dev of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271113 for permission to use his ir code database so that you can have options for many tvs instantly without the need of learning ir codes.he will also benefit from this as the codes learned by your app could be uploaded on his database(same as his app) so both apps will be better

[THEMED CM7] Corwin's Tweaked CM7 Beta 4 (Updated 4/5)

This is my custom compile of the CM7 git hub. Please understand I am a server engineer not a programmer, so the features are going to be very close to what you would get from CM7. The only major changes here are the boot screen and some backgrounds. The other people working on CM7 do not always have the time to work on the code and compile the latest updates into a rom for release and we do not get CM7 nightly files like you would see for an EVO. When I see that something major has been committed to the git I will update my side and produce a new revision. I am also taking a crash course on editing the apk's and xml files to really customize the heck out of the rom, but im new at this and I have a full time job, wife, a kid, and cats
I have now baked a new boot screen, worked in the latest framework changes from TeamDesire and the latest beta version of gojimi's VT Launcher and a few framework and buildprop changes of my own.
Just like any other dev out there I take no responsibility for your tablet and if you screw anything up please do a NVRAM restore to back out to factory again.
Please make sure you download GAPPS just like any other cyanogen based rom
Below are the links and a simple change log to the various builds I am putting together...
****Beta 1 032411****
Market seems to be working
Cam working
Wifi working
****Beta 2 033011****
Buildprop changes
Boot screen changes
****Beta 3 040111****
New default background - my first time editing the framework thanks to supermiah
Removed a few things we dont need like the voice dialer
****Beta 4 040511****

Oh yeah bring on the cm7. Excited to give her a run.
Sent from my HTC Vision sportin CM7 RC2. SMOKIN!!!
Word! Can wait to give her a run through.
Sweet. I'm living on AOSP Gingerbread currently but really miss some of the CM customizations I have on my phone, like 270 deg rotation which is essential to these tabs to mitigate the viewing angles of the screen.
Running in to a few more issues than I thought, it is running stable at the moment but there are issues that will mean a recompile so the changes are baked in and not just scripted. I had hoped to get the rom posted today, but i want to throughly test it out prior to upload.
Looking forward to this. Been running Drod2169's unofficial CM7 RC2 from a few weeks ago and its been going strong. Can't wait for a newer CM rom to try.
х2 Looking forward.We will wait.
Have you taken all the phone references out of it so it looks like a true tab rom ?

Odd sensor seems fine on the games ive tried....what game are you seeing the issue with?
Poss more screen shots.
Just wondering if we could possibly get some more screenies. Wondering if this rom also has Soft Buttons in upper right corner. Also previous mentioned about G sensor fix. If g sensor is not working correctly possibly does this me that this rom has mouse cursor support. You would be my hero if it does. Will be trying out anyway tomorrow. Just hoping to get some insight before hand. Thanks for the rom, and your work so far.

Sensors seem to be working and have not been able to replicate the issue reported so far. This ROM does have mouse/keyboard/wan for usb adapter. These are all features of CM7 , please keep in mind im only compiling their code from the opensource hub and then tweaking it a bit here and there. The actual features are from the hardworking Cyanogen team.

I've not been able to get Homerun to run on any ROM i've tried. TNTl, Vegan (5.1 or Ginger).
I got CM7 on my Droid and have the latest #31 installed and love it. I'm so glad we finally have CM7 to try on our tablets. My droid has quadrant scrore of 1150, so i hope this rom makes the g tablet fast. Will be trying soon.
I loaded this up late last night and have been really imprsesed so far. Only issue is that I needed to use an earlier version of gapps as the 0307 did not seem to install anything.
Screen rotation works in all orientations which is a big deal for me because of the case/stand I use and to get better viewing angles.
Awesome work, this thing flies.
EDIT: I should also mention that this is the only ROM I have ever seen actually use wifi for location. Awesome.
Bluetooth mouse
I like the rom. Bluetooth keyboard works great! The ms5000 Bluetooth mouse works but has no cursor, just moves sound the screen highlighting objects.

[App] Spark Mod Manager - Beta 1 [5/9/2011]

A quick post here for those looking for an app like this, please note there will be little support from me here, XDA is no longer as higher priority on my list so things may take a bit longer to get to. For faster support come find me at http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?4526 and I will be happy to help out. Another way of looking at this is mostly community support only here.

Spark Mod Manager - Beta 1​
About
Spark Mod Manager is a front end app for Ezekeel's kernel mods now found in many popular Nexus S kernels. These are usually turned off by default (in a init.d script set my the developer), and now you can easily turn them on or off until you reboot!
Usage
Open the app, check what features you wish to use (Screen Dimmer is old now, probably don't use it if you have Touch Wake enabled, they are aimed at the same thing), then hit apply. Give the app SU permissions and you should be set!
Notes
Your kernel must support these mods! There is currently no error checking (it's a beta, done on a Sunday arvo actually) so it could fail on you!
The timeout delay for these mods will vary from kernel to kernel. On my device, I have set it to custom values, but yours may differ. A future addition in the final version is to be able to change these within the app using sliders.
Download
Download the app below (hosted on Github for ease at my end).
Spark-Beta1.apk
Spark is also open source (licensed under the Open Source License 3.0), you can find all the sources here: https://github.com/jonathongrigg/SparkModManager
You will also need Action Bar Sherlock as a library project in Eclipse to get it to work (http://actionbarsherlock.com/)
Nice, finally a no brainer solution to such wicked mods. Cheers mate, will give it a shot.
Thanks, just what ive been looking for

Little bit of support here, just thought I'd check and see what happened. What it could be is that
a) your kernel doesn't support the functions (could use old versions)
b) the time out for touch wake is set really long
c) the time out for touch wake is set too short (aka 0)
d) touch wake and screen dimmer are both enabled (touch wake is newer and a better implementation)
You may also not know how touch wake works exactly (it took me a while). I thought it was independent to the system screen time out value (the one in settings, usually a minute long), but its not. What actually happens is after this value has automatically turned off the screen (say 1 minute later, that's the setting on my phone) then touch wake kicks in, allowing you to wake the phone up by touching the screen or keys below, for usually a period of 45 seconds. I hope that helps you a bit.
And thanks for the nice words guys, please try and help each other out here, I will only pop by every now and then.

Ahahaha ok guys. I think that the mod work with button swich off also, instead it work with a wait of 45 seconds
Just thought I'd show everyone here what I have planned for the next version (currently working on it). It had a new UI and supports setting the time out of each function.

[MOD] Hide the system bar via power menu

Introduction
This mod adds an option to hide/restore the system bar to the power menu (appears when you press and hold the power button). You can see screenshots at the end of this post. Please read all instructions and requirements carefully before installing.
This is the very first release and stable performance is not guaranteed! Make a backup before installing.
Prerequisites
Retail Wi-fi Tab (7510).
Deodexed ROM based on UEKME stock firmware.
The ROM must have framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar unchanged from stock. This mod overwrites these files. If they have been changed by the ROM, best case you'll cancel some of the ROM modifications, worst case - your device will stop working. If the ROM uses a custom theme or adds elements to the power menu (such as 'Reboot' or 'Boot into recovery'), most likely it isn't compatible. If unsure, ask your ROM developer. In case your ROM is not compatible, ask your developer to include this mod into their ROM.
As of now (September 16), StarBurst ROM should be compatible. I think it'll work on Task650 ROM, but you'll lose extra options that ROM has in the power menu by default.
Installation
Check all the prerequisites!
Make a full nandroid backup!!!
Download the attached update.zip and put it on the sdcard.
Flash from the CWM ('Apply update from SD Card' option).
Reboot (the boot will take a while, it's normal).
Long press the power button to see the updated menu.
Select the "System bar" option.
Click "Allow" in the superuser prompt.
Repeat 6-7 to restore the system bar.
Troubleshooting
Long first boot (several minutes showing Samsung logo) is normal. Boot animation with sound playing over and over is not.
If the mod doesn't work, try rebooting. If the problem persists, post logcat.
If you device doesn't boot, double-check all the prerequisites. If everything seems in order, post logcat.
Download
update.zip is attached to this post (mirror)
src.zip contains modified source files and resources for developers only (download)
Thanks
Manuel Di Cerbo for the code to hide the system bar
untermensch for the tutorial on modding the power menu
PhantomHacker for the deodexed files

Works on Task650's V6 Rom.
Awesome. Can't wait for this to be baked into a few ROMs. Great idea.
Should be in every ROM from now on. More screen real estate = massive win for videos, gaming, you name it.
Excellent work.

It will probably be less useful for games than you think, since most games have graphic resources designed for specific resolutions. My guess is that you'll see a lot of black margins in games. Also not very useful for videos, unless you watch a lot of old movies that are not widescreen.
My primary motivation was reading, actually
this would be great for web browsing for me. the stock browser always take precious real estate for tab on top and the system bar on bottom. i always looks squeeze to me. this is one of my complaint comparing to ipad2 aspect ratio.
dolphin hd solve this issue. but with this mod it will be even better

I was thinking more for emulation unless you think they would not stretch using the "fullscreen" modes.
I do watch quite a bit of 4:3 content too, I am assuming this would stretch downward to use the added pixels.
Web browsing will be nice too.
Maybe overthinking it lol.
Hidding the control bar is very usefull and handy together with Buttom Savior and Elixir Widgets. Now I always have my control keys in the right side of the screen wher are more easy and fast to reach.

There are a lot of requests for status bar hiding widgets or apps. So you just start the application when you need to hide status bar (for example before browsing or gaming). You don't lock your device in the middle of gaming.
In my opinion it is still better than all other bar hiding apps (and I'm talking about free version of my app). You have to click something in all of them (and here you click - start app). Just in my app you have the opportunity to control your tablet while bar is hidden.
But if you think this version is useless, I value your opinion.

Working fine here. Nice app, doesn't lag either.
Would love to see more gestures/controls and an option to customize them. Please keep up the good work and don't stop working on it

I'm developing on 7.7 myself, so it is tested well on it.
You don't get any error messages, notifications on gestures nothing? Does the last button in settings screen (Status bar toggle) works (hides/unhides) status bar?
I'm now using this and works brilliant. Finding the swipe gestures to suit me. Hiding and unhiding status bar no lag. Keep up the good work. Bought full version.
it doesn't work for..it just only state that it is hide, menu, and back
.but there is no action..

I will add setting to turn off toast message on unlock (when tutorial mode is switched off). However free version will stay for occational use. Application contains a lot of native code that will need support with new versions/devices. And the application is niche anyway. I really tried using this version myself and I find it usefull, but you can propose different model, I'm open for ideas.

The annoying part :
Three very, very small gestures for 1.5 coins...
I'll be happy to buy only one (taskbar hidding ) for 0.49.
This may be a joke...
Once again, the app works great.

Well, there are other apps for this (HideBar - free, Honeybar - 1$), my intention is to evolve the gesture part. Allow to create your own gestures and define your own actions.
Any chance of making the gestures more like the ipad? E.g. 5 finger pinch to home? Its a more natural closing type gesture imo

Weird, checked with my device, and I can see it as available with other account.
I have excluded some devices, but definitely not 7.7.

I'm developing application that allows you to control tablet with gestures. Root access is needed. Currently it allows to execute following gestures:
Back:
down - left
Home:
down - right
Show/Hide status bar:
up - right
Please try it out and let me know what you think. What other features or actions would be helpful?
You can download it here:

Why you dont post that in Themes and Apps Section
???
Moved To Themes And Apps​
As the thread title suggests, this section is for Android Development. This needs to be in the Themes and Apps section.​

Changed gestures to multitouch (see first post).
Also fixed a bug that I think prevented actions from working on some devices.
Excellent, thanks!
I just bought it and it recognises my gestures fine but it stopped doing anything after the first gesture?
It still pops up with home etc but doesnt do the action.
If i open the gesture app and disable and reenable the service again it works for one action and stops again

[ROM(attemtp)][CM10/MIUI]CM1+MIUI+PHONEmode mashup[so far failed builds]

Hi,
INTRO
I run MIUI on my phone and have since i discovered it. I am really fond of the EOL GB MIUI builds. I think the interface is great. Clean and smooth.
Searching around the web I came across [ROM][ICS] MIUI for Galaxy Tab 10.1 - P75xx - 20120825, I had previously seen a post on [GUIDE] How to port MIUI v4 to your Device
I really like the idea of using Button Savior or similar, combined with the miui style notification toggles.
Mockups from my phone;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have already tried CM7/9/10 on my Defy, along with other roms, and already had a go at CM10 on my GN10. Well, that gives me the thought, I might try to build up a rom for GN10
ATTEMPT
So I grabed the unofficial CM10 from here on xda, maguro MIUI-2.8.31 (Galaxy Nexus GSM JB) from miuiandroid.com and the build script mentioned above.
After reading the build script for the ICS MIUI for the GT10 and the GUIDE (both above) I didnt hold high hopes, but I had a go.
The script, of course fails, but builds a rom that gets to the bootspash, and I had a manual go at building my mashing the two together and never got past the samsung boot logo.
I ran logcat over adb while booting and it gets stuck due to something to do with the audio and probably many other reasons.
REASONS
The reason why I think this is a good Idea;
I am not keen on the Android tablet style notfication/nav bar, esp since there is no nice way to auto hide it. The MIUI style phone notification bar can be exposed even when there is a full screen app by swiping down from the top.
I really like the no apps drawer way that mihome works. New apps appear right there, and can be uninstalled in the same way shortcuts are removed in most other launchers, by dragging to the top. The MIUI implementation seems much nicer than on iphone. ( I understand that MiHome does not do landscape and even if this mashup workes on our GN10 devices I will still prob use nova launcher to get rotating home). I am not saying MiHome is perfect by any means. It has no way of making customized app shortcuts without 3rd party app and then they seem to be pretty flakey at actually displaying the shortcut on the launcher. For making url shortcuts ShortcutLink works very well.
The toggles in MIUI are great, and when there is more than fit on the screen they can be swiped left and right to reveal more. The MIUI GB notfications area is super clean, With the ES mod (swipe away like ICS/JB) why do we need to be told a notification is ongoing, if you can't swipe it away it is ongoing. Also the MIUI toggles jump directly to the settings when long pressed and toggle when clicked, this is top functionality.
Now, I am not specifically wanting actual miui, but I know of no other way to get something so similar and get the same functionality.
PROBLEM
The problem I have is my lack of abiltiy/knowlege in programing. I did sucessfully install the Android envoironment and eclipse on both my linux (crunchban/debiantesting x64) box at the office and my Win7x64 box at home, but as far as actually knowing what I am doing, I could barely manage to complete some of the basic howto's that are basically copy/paste due to the ide changing slightly from the tutorials. :crying:
I am quite proficient at linux and writing bash scripts etc, have a bit of php/database understanding etc, but it is not enough.
I also understand that CM10 is pretty bleeding edge on our devices and doesnt really provide a stable base yet, but it is pretty good and I am sure will get enough love to become rock solid/everything working in the not too distant future due to the great work by the dev's
SOLUTION
Due to my lack of programing skills the only way I think that this ROM/project/idea can move forward is for a dev to be fond of the idea, and/or enough people to like the idea that a deve thinks it is worthwile.
I can only sweeten such an idea with assistance in providing multi GB of webspace (with php/mysql/pgsql/tomcat/whatever), multi TB of download data, email services. I can provide only moderate ammounds of donated funds. I am sure that I can manage doco and support assistance.
END
Well, I am not sure anyone would like my idea, I am very open to comments and thoughts in the matter. Please refrain from flame wars on particular platforms or rom styles. It is more taking the best ideas from all places and implementing them into something great.
Thanks for reading.
RESERVED, in case some action actually happens
very glad to see some dev attempts. I dont know much about your chanses to pull this of. But i wish you the best of luck. Welcome
Ok, after searching around and trying this out I have not really made any progress. I think one way of getting a more phone style UI on my GNote10 is to have a go at actually compiling
PARANOID android, as there is some nice instructions over at this thread, and progress is happining on the GTab10.1, so there is already work on a comparable screen to leverage off of.
At lease this will get me into setting up a decent environment and see how it goes, my pc is plenty fast enough, just need to chuck another drive in and ubuntu as per the guide, which is no trouble.
Well, anyways, thanks for looking.
There is a PA release for the Note 10.1. But you have probably already seen that.
