IR Remote

soz, for being a geek, when you decompile the original irRemote.mbm file, there are two images that show them having designed the interface to use this IrRemote as a CD/Tape/Tuner Remote Control as well! Very interesting!!

Good on u 😊

(sorry but i don't really know much about this technical stuff.. i'm an "end user"😉

nice my frind
keep em coming 8)

I would love the skins..........If I had the damn application itself. It says It will be available in a few days and ive been waiting longer than that. Does anyone have any idea where I can get the beta version from. cheers

same here, still waiting for the thing to come out (JyriK edit: no trading here, please) thanks in advance 😃

im just getting impatient waiting for it, dont get me wrong, im just a 17 year old kid getting excited for new discoveries in life :P

HALLELUYAH!!!!! Ive just found the demo version on yahoo groups. Ive only had it on my phone for 5 minutes and I can even change the channels on my crappy alba tv using the dawoo settings. adressremoved

When IR Remote will be out you will have another reason to buy it.

Just check this site

Although you may prefer Bemused, the above is fully customizable, and also you can already start using it with any ir remote control as long as you have a serial IrDA dongle (I don't know about usb)...

PS:If you can't make it work just disable the IrDA dongle driver (not remove because windows may reinstall them) from the device manager and then choose the com port where the dongle is connected. It worked with my iRwave dongle...

Nice skins, do you know if these will work with the P800 version too?

Most likely not, as the button layout will change in the app. 😃 (in 7650 version atleast)
And not to mention different screensize...

Damn, didn't think so.

I guess I better get learning AllAboutMBMs then 😉

I think there will not be need for that as the irRemote will be skinnable when
it comes out. 😃 I think Im gonna be making some skins for me. 😃

This app is really great! Works with tekram(?) IRMate 210.
Had to disable the driver first.

as mentioned earlier, when decompiling the irremote.mbm file ( it contains 14 .bmp's ) the second and third bitmaps are the first attempt by Psiloc to use the IR function to control your Hi-Fi CD/Tape/DVD players and Tuners, see the below screenshots of the Basic setup, they are obviously planning to implement this at some time in the future, or maybe they gave up because it was too hard!!

Screenshots:

If you want to see the other files or decompile the .mbm's get bmconv.exe! and see for your self!

Those Hi-Fi CD/Tape/DVD players and Tuners are coming (mostly already done).

Right I have got a replacement .mbm file for the IR Remote available for download here, just use a file explorer ( Seleq, FExplorer etc ) to Navigate to C:\system\apps\irRemote and rename, delete or overwrite the irRemote.mbm file and then send the file included here to your phone via IR or BT, goto your file manager and find the irRemote.mbm file in your mail folder and cut and paste it in the C:\system\apps\irRemote folder! Your app will now have the new skin!! ( if ya don't like it, then follow the instructions to make your own! )

Screenshots:

P.S If anyone is interested in changing app picture files (mbm's) then get bmconv.exe from here

To decompile the mbm files place the previously mentioned bmconv.exe, a command line utility into the directory with the .mbm file in and type bmconv /v filename.mbm, this produces information on how many bitmaps are stored in there, there colour settings, pixel sizes and compression rates. Obviously when creating the text files ( create and extract ) in the next part match the amount of bitmaps to the amount stated when running the bmconv /v filename.mbm utility.

In this instance, for the irRemote.mbm file, we need to decompile the individual bitmaps for editing to do this we create a text file called "extract.txt" with the following text in:

/u irRemote.mbm

bitmap1.bmp
bitmap2.bmp
bitmap3.bmp
bitmap4.bmp
bitmap5.bmp
bitmap6.bmp
bitmap7.bmp
bitmap8.bmp
bitmap9.bmp
bitmap10.bmp
bitmap11.bmp
bitmap12.bmp
bitmap13.bmp
bitmap14.bmp

Save this "extract.txt" file in the directory where the bmconv.exe and the irRemote.mbm file is.

At the command prompt type "bmconv extract.txt", this will then create 14 Bitmaps for editing!

edit the bitmaps that you want to, you must keep to the pixel sizes and files sizes previously used.

To recompile into a mbm file, create a text file called "create.txt" and put the following text in:

irRemote.mbm

/c12bitmap1.bmp
/c12bitmap2.bmp
/c12bitmap3.bmp
/c12bitmap4.bmp
/c12bitmap5.bmp
/c12bitmap6.bmp
/c12bitmap7.bmp
/c12bitmap8.bmp
/c12bitmap9.bmp
/c12bitmap10.bmp
/c12bitmap11.bmp
/c12bitmap12.bmp
/c12bitmap13.bmp
/c12bitmap14.bmp

Note: the /c12 setting means that the bmp files will be compressed to 4096 colours, the same as used on the Nokia 7650 screen.

then goto the command promt and type "bmconv create.txt" and you will have a new file with edited .bmps compiled into a irRemote.mbm file

Follow previous instructions to replace the file on your phone.

Enjoy!

Nice, thanks for the info! 😊

did anyone use the new skin? any requests? colour changes, also jyrik, you seem to know a but about this software, when is the new version coming out?
