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

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.

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.

I try with Apple Mighty Mouse (PID: 0x020b VID:0x05ac connect at Apple Pro Keyboard usb hub) and it doesn't Work , but when I try Logitech Optical mouse its Work, fix it for me please, kylie
ps. Connect Apple Mighty Mouse your Frontrow kext has loads. but cannot activate FR and havn't FrontRow in keyboard shotcuts pref.
With Apple Mighty Mouse you do not need this driver
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

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.

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)
