Porting QRemote app from G2 to F6?

How difficult that can be for the developers here?

G2 has a great remote software w/learning abilities, F6 does not.

It is not possible to install G2 QRemote as-is on F6.

How difficult would it be to port this app to F6?

I'd be willing to provide any files necessary and do alpha/beta testing.

Thanks in advance :)

Yeah a few have tried to no success. I doubt the outcome would be any different for me since I'm not particularly into porting apps.

I found this link you guys can look through and see if it can help you in any way...

no, it doesn't work on F6, tried it already.

Freaking A, it should not be so difficult at all, and no one had really tried, unless I do not know about dev insides.

If I was in my prime, I am sure I would be able to make it. But I am not. :(

If you're as skilled at development as you say you were, then you should just do it yourself since you make it sound so easy. Development is like riding a bike, you never forget. The tools you need mostly remain the same, just get updated. You don't need much to port an app.

You shouldn't have a hard time picking right back up and porting the app in a couple hours. If you're short on time like I am then spread the work over a few days or whatever time you need.

Easier said than done huh. ;)

Like I said, I am past my prime. Last time I wrote the code was 15 years ago. I switched to IT from dev.
yeah, may not be a trivial task, but nothing outstanding for someone already familiar w/LG systems.
You cannot do it, fine. Maybe someone else will.
 
Give me the system .apk and .odex file for the G2 Remote. I will play around with it. I managed to get the DSPManager out of CM7 for my Optimus M and put it on my Quattro and use it with no issues. Had it working on the F6 for a bit too before I got a FC error on it.

I need something to work on for a bit anyways, one of my favorite games is down for maintenance this week..

Upload it and provide a link for it here.

I've ported before and some apps are easy, you just have to place the right files in the right places while others are harder and you have to edit some smali code.

Before you decompile the app, deodex it first so you can have access to the smali code in case you need to make changes. Also have a look at the other 2 apps that go with Qremote, with those 2 you might not be able to port it, but at least might be able to add more TV's to the list.

If you're in search of a dev though to ask to port it, check with Shabbypenguin. He always seems to know someone that fits the bill.

Getting dspmanager working is on my list of to do for this phone, that one's easy and a must have for me. ;)

I love DSPManager, I agree it is a must have. I think where I ran into an issue was I accidentally turned on the headphone effect option that came with the F6.
 
Man I dont know much. but isn't Lg giving all its source in gpl license. Can we take the sources of both LG G2 and F6 of QRemote and check the diffs ?
