RemoteJ / News: Recent posts

If anyone is willing to continue this project go on. With a little work it can be made to work with older (t610) mobiles and newer too maybe based on SonyEricsson specifications.

I'm no longer interested nor do have time to maintain this project.

Cheers,

SonyEricsson T610 and alike (maybe: T68, T68i, T300, T310, T610, Z600,
T230/T238/T226, T630, T290, K700i - some may have no BT connectivity!) support added (alpha testing phase) in new 0.2.0_alpha. Absolutely untested.

Testers very much needed! Please comment on forum if you have test results!

May work with the same functionality as on newer (k750 like) mobiles! :)

Log cleanup (info level is much cleaner).

Some bugs removed (global event triggering and event heaping).

Some gnome-flavor addition/cleanup in menu.xml

build.xml added for developers.

New application coverage in scripts and config files:
mplayer, totem, rhythmbox, cursor key usage added.

README document reviewed, modified.
64 bit compiled xsendkey tool added. ;)

"Happy new year" release!

Good news for gnome users. Today totem and rhythmbox config / script files were added to CVS tree!

Look into

http://remotej.cvs.sourceforge.net/remotej/RemoteJ/source/

and

http://remotej.cvs.sourceforge.net/remotej/RemoteJ/source/scripts/

for the new version! (modified on 28 december 2006)

Happy new year for all RemoteJ users!

User suggested modifications, and donated additional scripts/config file added mostly in favour of KDE users.

Changelog:

v.0.1.4 -
2006-12-18
- New user-donated KDE flavoured scripts and config files
- Scalable BarInput output value, you can specify a range with
min value and max value into which BarInput 0-10 values
are being transposed
- Few additional logging.

After a long silence a new version has been made available for the dear public. RemoteJ has now new global events for Connection break and Connection reestablishment (EVENT_CONNECTION_BROKEN, EVENT_CONNECTION_UP). Look for the example global.xml config file bundled with the release tgz.

Heads-up: with latest released rxtx (go to www.rxtx.org) you don't need remotej's patched rxtx jar. (No symlinking needed and working reconnection without any patch, yes :) )... read more

If you check out latest CVS you will find additional configuration for using RemoteJ with XMMS. One can use it for functions Play/Pause/ Next / Previous / On / Off right now.

RXTXcomm.jar further modified to be usable with /dev/rfcomm
device, so you dont have to symlink it anymore under Linux to a device name like /dev/ttyS4.
New helper scripts added to package for gmusicbrowser a fine gnome music jukebox written in perl.

Hoping that people find useful this project, which allows to control the PC with some of the popular SE mobile phones, project is waiting for your ideas about how to use the Remote Control! Open to new ideas, even for ones that are yet not operable by version 0.1.1, to find new goals of development, as well as for your own working configurations and scripts. You can post them in the forum or send me in email.... read more

RemoteJ is a project to supply bluetooth remote control for k750i and alike SonyEricsson mobiles. The project offers an extendable, configurable interface system written in Java for easy development.
