Introducing BlueMaemo
BlueMaemo is a remote controller program for the Maemo-powered devices. With BlueMaemo you can turn your Maemo-powered device in a mixed Bluetooth keyboard-and-mouse device through the HID Bluetooth profile.
The first BlueMaemo release can be found in the project download page, you must have the Maemo base repository enable in order to satisfy all the BlueMaemo dependencies. The application are in a beta state right now, so all the suggestions are welcome, I also need some help to figure a way to turn on and off the bluetooth adapter of the devices, if anybody know a way to do this (d-bus,system call...) I appreciate the help :) More information about the project can be found in: http://www.valeriovalerio.org/?page_id=174 (usage instructions, to-do list...). |

Turn off bt:
Code:
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:off Code:
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable Code:
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:connectable |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Thanks again qwerty12, I will add this calls in the next release to turn the app more user friendly.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
A small bug report which may be difficult - . on some keyboard layouts are not : in the other end (PC, in this case XP).. had problems with - as well.

I have to warning that the only keyboard layout supported at this time are US-ENG, so if you are using for example a Latin layout, the shift combination should produce a different keys from the key that you have pressed in the device. |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Works on Vista with Microsoft Stack as well

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Hi,
I am facing problems with installation. Can you please put the configuration for 'base' repository that contain python api for diablo here. Thank you. |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Exactly what I was looking for and then some. Thanks for getting it done.
Works well under WinXP with blue soleil stack. No bugs as of yet. |

Hmm, whenever I try to connect it only shows up as HSP.
vforviktor@vendetta-laptop:~$ hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:19:4F:DB:DD:86 vendetta-tablet vforviktor@vendetta-laptop:~$ sudo 'hidd -connect '00:19:4F:DB:DD:86' > > Just gets stuck on the > prompt, as BlueMaemo just says "waiting for connection". |

The correct command is: sudo hidd -connect 00:19:4F:DB:DD:86 |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
When I tried that it just said hidd was not a valid command (guess it's not installed?). Though I do have bluez..

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
I posted an interest in something like this in the past, so I just wanted to say thanks :-)
I see that it's a port of something like ReMoko for OpenMoko, and your page also mentiones testing the Android G1 ... are you going to port this to the G1, as well? |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Quote:
The should be possible to port this to Android, if Google open the system, right now is impossible to port the app, because the app use some low level code and resource that are not available in the Android Java functions. |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Woot, awesome! Anyone know if this will work under Ubuntu hardy?

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

Test T-Mobile G1 Now Which I assume is for the emulator. I wasn't saying you've got one in your hands, just that you seem to have an interest in them, so I was hoping that'd eventually lead to a port of the code. Quote:
For example, I want OpenSSH, and maybe VNC, on it. As well as more bluetooth profiles. These would all be easier if developers could get to the linux layers. |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Posting from hardy right now, using my N810 as a keyboard :D
Thank you so much for this great app!!! |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Had to read this 4 times. Perhaps its the really good wine. If I understand correct with this application one can control a bluetooth-enabled device using the NIT's keyboard, touchscreen (or any other input device connected to the NIT). Seems pretty useful.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
The keymap screen seems to have problems mapping to keys like space and return...
I can't exactly control iTunes without play and pause being space... Works well on rhythmbox though! Also, it seems that it is NOT sending media keys (those little volume and play/pause keys on to of the keyboard). This is the best, because it works for almost all media players, even if they are in the background. |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Hm. It wants:
efl-core python2.5-efl-core python2.5-ecore python2.5-edbus python2.5-evas python2.5-edje none of which are in the base catalog ("Nokia Catalog"), nor any of the following catalogs: Nokia Catalog Nokia Catalog (3rd party software) Nokia System Software Updates maemo Extras Maemo Chinook Maemo Extras (diablo) Maemo hackers (chinook) tschmidt So, again, which repositories/catalogs are you pulling those from? (don't say "same as canola" -- I don't use canola, so that means nothing to me). I would love to install it, test it on my macs, and such, but I need more to go on :-) |

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
efl was brought to the tablets BY the canola team, so canola is important. I would recommend installing canola just so it sorts out the dependency issues.
also, try apt-get... It might work better... |

<wrong repo, lemme get right one> Ok, it is in diablo extras. I see you have 3 repositories for extras, you certainly have no need for the chinook one + you have two others left. disable the non-diablo one. |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
kinda fun, even tho it seems windows didnt see it disconnect when i accidentally closed the program.
the scroll area may be a bit small for finger use, and way to sensitive for my taste, even at setting 0. also, any chance that the media controls can act as multimedia keys on a keyboard? ,y preferred play uses either those or some combo of ctrl+letters. right now, neither is a option from what i can tell... btw, the dependencies are highly weird. after installing canola, it installs fine. but with canola not installed, it fails to find the python stuff needed... and it seems i cant install canola, install bluemaemo, uninstall canola and run canola-cleanup, as that will result in the removal of bluemaemo as well :( |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

BTW, A key assignment dialog like in CompizConfig Settings Manager (of course modified to fit the efl keyboard (and with added F? keys)) will be great :). |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
Thanks for the great application.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
I couldn't get it to work with windows media player, does anybody know how to do this?

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

Those media keys are not standard keys, if someone have a bluetooth keyboard with those keys can help extracting the correct keycodes for the service record :D |
Re: Introducing BlueMaemo

I probably can add the multimedia keys, but I need some help from someone with a bluetooth keyboard with those keys. About the dependencies, the UI is made using Python-EFL, so request all the python-efl packages nothing else:D, when the app are a little more stable, and I get permission to upload the app to the extras-repo, the installation will be a lot easier. |
