Thanks! I think I found it online but whichever apk I download throws an error message 'this app is not compatible with your phone' when trying to install it. I'll keep looking for one that works ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป.

I looked for this 'android remote app' but a lot of options came up when searching for it. Would you be able to tell me the name of the developer please, or send me a direct download link? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input, everyone! It is greatly appreciated.

My use case is that I am trying to help a young man with an intellectual disability to operate his TV. He keeps breaking his physical remote controls and whilst I try and source a new one, I am looking for a remote control app to install on my personal phone so I can at least turn the TV on for him.

I will try out KDE Connect and will also look into the Android Remote App (although no longer maintained). If this all fails, I will look into a hardware solution.

Thanks again!

Yes, no problem at all. It's a TCL P735 tv running the Google TV OS.

I did find non-FOSS remote options in the playstore but they are all riddled with ads and are asking for too many unnecessary permission imo.

TIA

 

Hi All, wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a FOSS Android/Google TV remote control app? My phone doesn't support IR so looking for a remote control app that can connect via Wifi. TIA!

Yes, the exact same was happening for me. Jerboa would crash and android would show me the notification "this app has a bug" whenever I tried to login. Now using Eternity for Lemmy and that is working smoothly.

Android Auto is the Android equivalent to Apple CarPlay. I.e., it mirrors your Android phone screen onto your car display.

Thank you! I'll try out VLC.

Thank you! I'll try out VLC for playing my offline music.

Yes, unfortunately I haven't been able to find a foss alternative for Android Auto. If someone happens to know one, I am open to recommendations.

Thanks for the input!

 

Hi, as per the title; does anyone happen to know a good foss offline music player with support for Android Auto? TIA for any suggestions!
