xtraa, domino, Romeo is Universal Binary now!

I made some changes in source and compiled it. It have many bugs, but works well with Front Row (Options button in Romeo does not work, do not press it, lol smile.gif ).

I've tested it with SonyEricsson T630. Works well! Ultra cool. Hooah, comrades smile.gif

This version have support for Front Row. To install, just unzip it and delete "com.arboreal.romeo.plist" (if you have it) in User Preferences Folder.

It works with T610!! Great, awsome, teriffic job Kyrie!! I already said this but this application deserves it's own thread. Many people are looking for this app.

I have a Dimension 8400 I am currently working on restoring a new install of 10.4.4 on (10.4.5 Pukes with my ATI Hardware...). I am using a Dell wireless USB Keyboard and mouse (Logitech hardware...). I have done everything correctly (I am almost sure... your instructions were thorough...), but FrontRowPass is not loading at startup, and thus FrontRow can't find a remote. Do you thinlk this could be a problem with my keyboard and mouse being wireless? There is only one HID device in the System Hardware settings (I assume this is the wireless dongle connected to the PC). Produt ID = 0xc509 ; Version ID = 0x046d (For a P=50441 ; V=1133). If I had another mouse or keyboard I would try it. Any help is appreciated... Thanks all.

EDIT: I tried to load the kext manually as well... the kext loads sometimes... but no dice.

This driver for mouse HID device only. But you have combined HID device.

I've checked this with wireless USB Mouse (A4 Tech), all was OK.

With Apple Mighty Mouse you do not need this driver smile.gif.

How to...?

1. Delete FrontRowPass.kext.
2. Open AppleHIDMouse.kext > Contents > Info.plist
3. Add (look at Bold)

...
<key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
<dict>
<key>M19-0a</key>
<dict>
...
<key>HIDRemoteControl</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>M19-0b</key>
<dict>
...
<key>HIDRemoteControl</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>M19-1</key>
<dict>
...
<key>HIDRemoteControl</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</dict>
...

4. Save.
5. sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext
6. Reboot.

That is all smile.gif.

After pressing Command+Esc my system momentairly hangs up - with Gray Screen of Death. And there isn't any information about kernel panic in logs. I assume, that is somehow connected with my mouse... Could you post the same driver for keyboard (for example for Apple Wireless Keyboard)?
However, great work, thank you!

You can use this driver for keyboard.

You only need to change "HIDDefaultBehavior" from "Mouse" to "Keyboard" in Info.plist of FrontRowPass.kext. And use your USB keyboard DeviceID and VendorID.

My mouse is some weird RadioShack model that uses USB outputs, yet it came bundled with a "USB to standard mouse input" extension thinggy. Basically, my mouse works a lot smoother and more responsive when it's plugged into the the standard mouse input, instead of the USB.

FrontRow is working great and all, but could I add device and vendor IDs from some other peripheral that's plugged into a USB port other than my mouse or a keyboard? Does the kext just make sure the designated peripheral with matching device and vendor IDs is connected or not, or does it actually utilize it somehow? I don't see where the mouse comes into all this, because while in Front Row, my keyboard does all the navigation, and it's not a USB keyboard either.

Just asking. Thanks for any replies.

You can not control Front Row with mouse. It is not a hack of Front Row. It is native Front Row like on any Mac with Apple Remote.

With this driver "SystemUIServer" think that there is Apple Remote in computer and let you to run Front Row.

You can use Salling Clicker to control Front Row with Bluetooth (Wi-Fi) mobile phone (or HPC)
