Edit: I've gotta say, the N900 makes for a pretty expensive remote itself

Be prepared for the wall of text you see below these 2 introducing sentences
My test results, first thing that strikes me is the removed delay shutter option. AFAIK for canon this is a separate button on their remotes.
As the intervalometer starts counting AFTER the first shot, maybe you should make a extra timer which delays the first shot with x seconds.
Also I managed to make pierogi crazy, regarding the intervalometer.
Regarding the VIP1853, I will test that later but I can't think of environmental issues as the original remote works fine and besides it's sensor is 5cm away from where my TV has it's sensor and that remote is working fine with pierogi from the couch...
...
all commands work however the receiver is still very very picky. But range doesn't matter, I even managed to turn it on from the couch thus 6m.
I have the feeling I have to point the n900 in almost a straight beam to the irsensor of the box to make work...
Also I lost a favorite keyset, the samsung DVB-T receiver keyset. I guess you named it Samsung Set-top Box keyset 1. Can you confirm as that's what some of my friends use but I just want to be sure I have the right keyset available in my favourites when the occasion comes I need it.

I use a single Sony remote to control my Sony TV, Sony Audio System and notebook controlled by Eventghost.
...
What I ask is - can I somehow add the layouts to Pierogi's database (at least on my phone) and modify Pierogi's interface to recreate them?

Ah, I was wondering if that was going to be a problem. As that delay option seemed to be a Canon-only feature, and not only that, but just on one type of Canon remote, I wasn't sure anybody was ever using it. I thought it might make the UI simpler if I just took it out. I'll go ahead and put it back in. (But yeah, it isn't something that would make sense to use with the intervalometer...)
Yeah, I noticed that was a feature with some intervalometers, I'll go ahead and add that in. (Assuming I can get the thing working in the first place...)
(Does it work normally if you don't lock the screen? I'm not sure why locking the screen should trigger the bad behavior. Hmm.)
Let me ask, can you get commands to work when you hold down a button? (In particular, can you get Volume Up and Volume Down to continue going up and down by holding down the button?)

Actually, I have had that problem with my N900 as well; if I'm not directly in front of my TV's sensor, the usable range drops off very quickly. I'm afraid that's due to the N900's IR hardware...
Yes, sorry, my fault. I've been wading through a sea of satellite, cable, and digital-terrestrial Samsung set-top boxes this week, and decided to just name them all as "Set-top Box" rather than try to create a forest of new naming conventions. So yeah, I went ahead and made DVB-T Keyset 1 into Set-top Box Keyset 1. Sorry about that, I'm really not sure theres a good way to give these keysets permanent unique names...
Unfortunately, the guiding principle I've been trying to follow with Pierogi (for better or worse) is to keep the UI, as much as possible, independent from any actual remote control hardware. This serves the purpose of styling Pierogi as a single "universal" remote (where all the buttons are always in the same place no matter what device you are controlling), as well as letting me attempt to optimize button layouts for the N900's screen.
There is, at the moment, no way for an end-user to create a customized layout. I was starting to create a set of user-defined buttons a while back, but those are still stuck with the problems I've been having in creating a macro system...

(BTW, I vaguely recall a timelapse app for the N900's own camera; is there one still around?)
Edit: I've gotta say, the N900 makes for a pretty expensive remote itself.
