Details:

- You can send me your suggestions or issues directly without sending mail by selecting "Chat with developer!" from home screen action bar. You will send messages to me directly and when I send you the response, you will receive a notification. You can chat with me directly from inside app :)

- You can create shortcut to your favorite custom remote on your home launcher so you can open remote quickly:

- from remote viewer: select "Create shortcut"

- Or from remotes list, long press on custom remote: select "Create shortcut"

- In Mouse Pad, now you have a new action "Show text input" so you can write all the text first by keyboard or by voice then press "Ok" to send all the text once to computer. This is helpful if you want to use alternative keyboards "Such as Swybe" or you want to use voice writing or you want to copy text from outside app and paste it to remote computer.

- In Media Players, now application will remember your last used media player even if you restarted your device.

- In Custom Remote Designer, Now you have new actions:

showVirtualKeyboard
showTextInput
sendPredifinedText
openBuiltInScreen
openCustomRemote

- "Send predefined Text" is a very useful feature if you - for example - write a lot of mails on your computer with many common sentences such as "Thank you for your mail", "Sorry to be late", "Regards,". So you can add these predefined texts as actions to your custom buttons and put your phone/tablet beside your computer. When you need to write a predefined text, just click on a button on your custom remote.

- Open another remote (Built in/ Custom Remote) from your custom remote was a highly requested feature.

- Displaying virtual keyboard inside custom remote was a highly requested feature.

- Anyone knows the IP of your Android device, can control it from another Android device. Now, you can receive control from trusted IP's only. Configure it in settings page.

Introducing "Creation wizard" which lets you create remote from scratch, from predefined template or as a copy from existing remote.

Now, you can choose between portrait and landscape.

Choose if your remote targets computer or Android.

If you target computer, choose targeted operating systems.

If you are creating custom remote using template, choose the template you want. More templates will be added in future versions.

This an example to "MousePad" template:

This is an example to "GamePad" template:

If you are creating custom remote as a copy from existing remote, choose the remote you want to copy.

You can use multitouch (2 fingers) to resize buttons. Choose "resize mode" from action bar: "Width,Height,Both"

For accurate positioning and resizing, double click or long press on a button and choose "Accurate position/size"

Enter X,Y,Width and Height

Button properties updated to simplify adding title, forground color, backgound color and background image

Color picker updated to choose any color ever you imagine. You can even choose transparency degree. This useful if you an image of a remote, you can set it as background to your custom remote then add transparent buttons on top of buttons of the background image. With this hack, you can simulate any remote ever in less than a minute.

Now you can assign action to the key press of the button. Choose between "Keyboard" and "Mouse". More types will be added in coming updates.

When you select a button, it will be reordered to be on top of other buttons.
When you make button transparent, its border also will become transparent so you can add transparent buttons to a real remote image instead of designing all buttons from scratch.
Custom remotes internal code rewritten to support the flexibility to add more huge features in coming versions
As Custom remotes designer is redesigned, it introduces new custom remote format, you still can import old remotes. Remotes created using older version of Aio Remote are imported and upgraded automatically.
