Is there anyone who knows if I can add my remote to work with this ROM. I notice that nobody seemed to know how in the VIM 1/2 forums but is the situation the same with the VIM3?
I use a Harmony IR remote for all of my TV boxes which works fine on all CoreELEC setups and the Android setups on all boxes, when I add my remote.conf file to /system/etc except the VIM3 (which totally ignores it).
Is it because remote.conf should be placed in a different folder, or is the configuration file for IR remote no longer called remote.conf?
At present, the VIM3 is the only box that fails to recognise my remote if I boot into Android from CoreELEC, which is pretty disappointing :disappointed_relieved:

Hi, maybe the firmware from Superceleron will be able to solve your problem, if suddenly you can not find a solution here

Already tried that, same problem.
If it’s because the later versions of Android use a different driver / system / method to interpret the remotes then, is it possible to get and older Android version to work on VIM3?
Would that be feasible, if it’s too difficult to add an extra remote configuration to Android 9 ? ( Android is just a fallback for me - mainly using CoreELEC) :thinking:
It’s a shame that my favourite TV box can’t do what the older ones can LOL :grin:

assembly archive is here

Thanks for the info, I’ll take a look at those. I suspect that won’t help because thy are all Android Pie (Android 9). It may be nothing to do with the Android version, not being a programmer I wouldn’t know for sure. Worth a shot though. :+1:
EDIT
Yeah same. :weary:

27

do you have an aero remote with 2.4?
I’m not editing anything, it just works, including the microphone!

Yeah, from what I can see, adding usb devices isn’t too much of a problem. I have 4 TV boxes, each controlled by Harmony remotes which are programmed to operate the TV, Sound bars, tv boxes and anything else on the setup. They are IR devices which, combine all the IR remotes into one and switch on the devices, select the correct channels automatically etc.depending on the programmed activity, without taking up a USB port. They’re not cheap and so not really disposable. The other boxes can all load pre android 7.1 builds which uses the remote.conf file. It seems that after 7.1 nobody actually knows what is making the remotes operate :rofl:

I don’t really like IR remote controls, to be honest, now I understand what your remote control is :slightly_smiling_face:
