Hi there,
I've got a question about the bluetooth support from the streak:
I want to connect my logi. dinovo mini with an android smartphone (HD2). With the dell streak it is possible but I can't connect the keyboard to my android HD2.
I tested some bluetooth keyboard apps but nothing works :-/
I need this driver from the dell ..... for android 2.2, I think that is the only solution here.
thanx to all here and this nice forum !
Not Android Development
Moving to Q&A
It's ok but this is development !
the company Teksoft wrote me quick an answer of my e-mail.
They have developed a BlueInput driver for android phones to connect a BT keyboard but this doesent works with the dinovo mini.
here is the answer mail from teksoft:
We are currently working to fix this issue, by creating our own dedicated bluetooth stack for android.
It is related to the bluetooth stack so it lurks in deeper layers. But eventually we should be able to come with a solution.
You might want to keep an eye on the Forum or check the News section from time to time.
Best regards,
Teksoft Support
this sounds nice, hope the driver comes out soon.
Why does the dell has such a nice bt support for this keyboard?
maybe it has to do with the fact that android for the HD2 is cooked/custom made for it and not made by HTC?
I think your question needs to go to the HD2 android dev thread and request this from the people involved in that.
No, I tested the dinovo mini with an HTC Desire HD also with the same issue :-/
one solution is here:
I flashed the CleanDROID v1.11 - Super Clean Rom from g.lewarne and damnit !! I connect the dinovo mini and it works with mouse support in this rom.
that's awsome.
ive been looking into this on the captivate forum and found this about changing keymappings for dinovo on android.
they changed keymappings for several android keyboard languages and an ADB script to push it to the phone. its for QWERTY dinovo and QWERTY, AZERTY & QWERTZ android layouts
http://android.modaco.com/index.php?...68&mode=linear
they mapped
Working :
- Vol Up / Down
- "Vol off" is mapped to "HOME" key
- "Record on" is mapped to "MENU" key
- bottom-right key mapped to BACK
- "Windows" key is mapped to "HOME" key
- "Control" key is mapped to "Alt left" key
- "Alt Right" key is mapped to... "Alt right" key
- "Maj left" is mapped to "Shift left" key
- "Maj right" is mapped to "Shift right" key
- All other keys should be mapped as shown on the keyboard layout.
check in on us @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0#post10951570
Yep, the key mapping should even work on any Android device, but you may be sure they are loaded (in adb log) once bluetooth connection is established.
I didn't reuse too much these since some streakdroid releases, but when I've made them I can remember that the mouse pointer was missing. Will have a look on 1.7.0 and perhaps try to look further in the CleanROM to see what they've made to make it appear...
Anyway, here it seems that the main problem is due to the fact that the BT connection just cannot be established. If so, the keymapping files won't be loaded anyway..
I would advice to have a look in logcat when trying to connect to the Dinovo, and check there why the HD2 hangs.

HTC HD2 - Android 2.2.1 in NAND - Logitech DiNovo Mini
I did some logging when trying to establish connection with DiNovo Mini.
Kernel: 2.6.32.28.S10.4.OC-ga36929b-dirty
mdj #26
Build: MCCM HD V5.1 CWR/NAND

I hope that someone with more knowledge could help with this issue.

SciLor's WiMoBlue v0.0.1
SciLor's WiMoBlue is a remote controlling software or Windows, Windows Mobile Touchscreen Devices and Windows Mobile Smartphone Devices (Currently keyboardo only, but there will come more). You may control your Windows Mobile Device with your Desktop PC or the other way round. You can use it for many different things, such as SMS writing, gaming etc. I personally prefer to use my old HTC Kaiser as controller for my new HTC Leo, especially for emulators like FPseCE!
I would be Happy to hear from you which device combinations work!

You will need .NET CF 3.5 (.NET CF 2.0 for Smartphone, .NET 3.5 for Windows) - Link at the Bottom
This is a remote controlling software for PDAs. Mainly for using your old phone as a wireless controller for the new phone.
Very fine on Emulators like FpseCE or Morphgear.
Usage:
1. Check if bluetooth is on (both devices), and pair both bluetooth devices.
2. Run the Server software on the device you want to control.
3. Run the Client/Controller software on the otehr device.
4. Search for your Server in the Client software and connect.
5. If there is a green screen, it should work (D-Pad and Hardware/Software keyboards) , if it is red try to soft reset both devices and try again, if it is till not working cry for help.
PS: If the SIP catches the Letter-Keys, first try to disable any T9 in the SIP. If the problem is still there, try to use another SIP (Windows Mobile only)!
Beware, Alpha status!

Ok, I have managed to get everything a little bit more stable,
also I have tried to make the best out of the weird Hardware-Keyboard on my HTC Kaiser, which only sends Keypresses. I got so far that you can press multiple "letters", but if you just take up your finger from one, I need to release all buttons, because I am not able to decide which button you left (This is really only the case for the letter-keys, D-Pad, enter etc. work fine!)

Remoters
Sorry for thiefing the thread like this, but is there an app for ppc devices to remote control "normal" phones? Like a samsung, or sony you get what i mean?
//Frapps
Truly amazing bro, its a pitty i only have one touch screen winmo device xD
I will make a smartphone version, was already planned!
If my old Typhoon works, I will be also able to test it before the release
But you will have to be patient until I am satisfied with the software, that it is read for a "stable" release!
Ps3 pads?
I am sorry if this is unrelated but isnt there a way to connect wireless PS3 or Xbox gamepads to WinMo (or WinPho). Arent they bluetooth too?
That is a good idea too. Wii controllers are bluetooth. That may be a fun project as well.
***Edit***
Looks like there is already an archive on XDA concerning this. All of the projects seem to be dead though.
forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-335973.html
Wii Controllers/PS3 use bluetooth thats all...
The Wii cannot be connected easily due to a missing driver of Windows Mobile. May be done, but I already tried it for some days without any success.
About the PS3 one I have only read(I have got any ps3 controller here -.-), so far I know you will first have to connect it with your computer(USB) and set the Bluetooth Mac of the none PS3 device. The rest seems to be standardized.
how easy would it be to make this in to a remote that's also able to control my TCPMP or another media player?
I'm not home yet but as soon as I get home I'm trying this app!!!!
I still have a MDA Vario and a HTC Touch pro at home. can't wait! have been lacking hardware buttons to play games.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you mean the TCPMP on the Mobile Phone, it may already work partially.
I may add the option to send special Keys, so you can control everthing you want

Server: HD2 2.08, Dutty HG v0.8
Controller: HP iPAQ hw6925 stock WM5
MS Word is perfect, no mistakes while typing a full letter.
Bug on Controller: No disconnection option (greyed out).
Can multiple controllers be connected? Are there any multiplayer WinMo games that can use multiple controllers?
Thank you for your reply!
The bug is a feature, just tap on the touchscreen to activate it, I disabled it due to on the Kaiser you can hit the softkey by chance while gaming.
Multiple Controllers cannot be connected but it is planned. I will implent it if I get any game to test it or if an Emulator supports to controler. Please also ask at the FpseCE Forum for adding a second controller!
SciLor
Ok, I am planning a feature that allows "pressing" on the others screen so you can completly remote control the other device. Another idea is the recieving of a screenshot of the others screen (Combined with the first idea, it makes it perfect, no?).
Also a Boss key would be funny, that means the option to turn of the screen of the other device. For those in school it means:
Put your HD2 anywhere, where the teacher isn't able to see it, but you. If the teacher comes around, you can easily put off the HD2's screen
It is already working with smartphones instead of TYTN II? I have a HTC VOX and cant wait to use it as gamepad for Leo
Can any Bluetooth keyboard and mouse be synced with the g tablet? I was
planning on getting a Logitech or Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
setup. Which one would work better? If both are bad, what brand do you
use on your g tablets?
Bluetooth keyboard
For whatever it worth, I have a Bluetooth Apple keyboard that was used on my old iMac. I fiddled with settings for an hour, to no avail. This stock gTablet, updated with the latest Viewsonic updates, could not "see" any signal. (I haven't tried any tablet mods yet.)
- Tom
I think from what has been posted on here, USB and BT keyboards work out of the box, but mice do not (unless you are running CM6)... the TnT-based firmwares are lacking any kind of mouse services.
Found Bluetooth keyboard that works great with G Tablet
I found it on amazon search for the following "Bluetooth HID Wireless Keyboard Mouse Control for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone 4, PDAs" and you will find it since I can't post the link yet. It is sold and branded by CE Compass for about $38.95 shipped.
It comes with a usb bluetooth receiver you can use with Windows 7 pc's.
In order to get it working you will need to get a hold of an android application Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect written by a XDA forum member Mike. It works awesome but the mouse features do not work with Android.
When you boot your G Tab you set the keyboard to bluetooth discover mode and the Program Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect does all the heavy lifting and magically makes it work.
Viewsonic G Tablet BT keyboard experience
Short answer is yes, BT keyboards work with the GTab...but be aware that some work goes into making that work with any degree of reliability. see below
I did not make an attempt tp connect a BTKB (bluetooth keyboard) until i flashed a custom rom on my gtab, so i can not speak to whether it will see/pair/connect to a BTKB out of the box.
I am running TNT lite v4.4.0 with a Clemsyn froyo kernel, this setup runs so good it gives me chills. I am using a Motorola XOOM/ATRIX keyboard at the moment, awesome BTKB by the way.
You can use a terminal emulator and root explorer to connect your keyboard once it's in discovery mode (blinking usually), make sure you have root access. You will need hcitool, hciconfig, and hidd; get them here: bluetooth_tools.zip. I had the first two, but had to manually move hidd into /system/xbin using root explorer.
from root type: hcitool scan this will scan for any bluetooth device transmitting, and display the MAC address and name of said device. once you have that MAC addy, type: hidd --connect 00:00:00:00:00:00 replace the zeros with the MAC address you just got in the previous step. your keyboard should now be connected.
unfortunately your keyboard isnt permanently connected. When you power down the device, turn off the BT, or if it glitches up; you would have to do all that again. as I am a energy efficient type, I don't like this. So for me, the answer was to install bluetooth keyboard easyconnect and bluez IME from the android market, and when I power on my G Tablet, i go open the bluetooth keyboard easyconnect app, and BOOM, I have a connected bluetooth keyboard, yay
flexing your commandlinefu can be gratifying, but alot of times there is a much simpler solution just a few searches away.
I have this same problem - I can connect from Terminal but it's tedious and every few hours or so I have to reconnect.
I installed both of these apps but they arent seeming to help - what options are you using in Bluez IME? i.e. which device driver? I have the same XOOM keyboard.
Just tried the new Logitech Tablet Keyboard (for Android 3.0, according to the box), and it paired with my CM7 rom on the G-tablet.
I haven't tried other roms so I don't know if it is this simple, but I've tried turning everything off and on again to make sure it is permanently connected- even a soft reset, still turn on BT, turn on KB, wait about 10 seconds, and its connected. Awesomesauce.
Only thing that irks me is that the function keys don't do what they say ("home" and "search" are actually "menu", and "menu" key seems to do nothing). But as a KB, this is pretty perfect.

Actually, not all TnT based firmware has problems. On stock TnT .4349, I've used both wired & wireless usb mice & keyboards. (wired Logitech & Dell) and a wireless USB keyboard by Gyration
Motorola Full Size Wireless Keyboard with BT works with GtabComb3.2 right out of the box. Function keys e.g. volume keys, email work as described. Navigation arrow keys function almost like a mouse.

I added the hidd --connect command to a gscript (available in the market) script and can run it with one tap. If you get the pro versionof gscript you can put a shortcut on the desktop.
One of the reasons I got my g table is to use it as a substitue for my labtop.
Even though my laptop is small enough, sometimes it is hard to cary it arround, as I keep it by my side 24/7. As I do most of my work on the super computer using ssh, I though the 'g tablet' can replace my laptop. USB keyboard seemed to work just fine until I tried control key on the keyboard. Control key simple does not work at call on g Tablet(Probably on all android system), and ctrl key is so critial to me as I use emacs! Emacs user would know what no control key means to emacs. Thus, I wonder if anyone knows how to utiliza the control key on the USB keyboard. Softkeybord can not be a solution considering I would use control key more than 1000 times per connection. Thank you.
Is Bluetooth keyboard working better?
I have seen lots of posts about using bluetooth keyboard.
I wonder if ctrl key and alt key are working with bluetooth keyboard.
Anyone?
Greetings everyone,
I have been able to hook up a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse to my EVO 3D.
The keyboard works great. I have been able to type perfectly in my applications as well as configure the keyboard to work in my emulators.
The mouse I am having an issue with the "right" mouse button not working as the "go back" function in Android. Has anyone else had this issue? According to all the research I have done this is supposed to work.
I have also noticed in the CyanogenMod 6.X ROM videos on Youtube, that the people using a mouse also get a mouse cursor on their screens as well as being able to right click to "go back" and then using their middle mouse button as a "home" function in android. I did a search through 16 pages of posts on this and could not find an answer. Maybe someone reading this who is smarter than I am can shed some light on the issue.
This is what I am currently using.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard.
If anyone else is using a mouse and is not having issues could you tell me the brand/model please? Maybe it is just an issue with this Microsoft Mouse.
Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access
**taps desk until HTC removed encryption from bootloader**
Yeah, but on the bright side, this is the first time I've seen HTC add in HID support for BT keyboards!!!!!!
HUGE gain!
***** SEE MY UPDATED POST FURTHER BELOW FOR ALL OF THE KEYBOARD COMMANDS I DISCOVERED THAT WORK ON THE NEXUS PLAYER *****
View attachment 3020831I easily got my Logitech DiNovo Mini to connect. Make sure it is switched to PC mode and that you are also in "pairing mode" . Once the Nexus Player finds it, you will be prompted to enter the pin. Just type in the pin using the DiNovo keyboard and you are in.
I tested out most of the standard keyboard stuff and so far it is working flawlessly One neat thing I tested was the on board mouse pad. It works better than expected essentially giving you "touch" capabilities to the Nexus player screen. Just make sure you have the button switched from arrow mode to mouse mode.
Here is the Logitech product support link:
http://support.logitech.com/product/3848
Amazon Link:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-000594-diNovo-Mini-Keyboard/dp/B0011FOOI2
This maybe a stupid question but should I get the Bluetooth model or the wireless model? I assume you are referring to the bluetooth model.
Did you use the bluetooth dongle to connect?
I'm not using it right now and can't get the keyboard to work, mouse works but i can't type anything.
Also i cant find any "back" button.
No dongle was used and I used the bluetooth model. All I did was press the red pairing button on the bottom (beneath plastic sheild) and once I had a flashing red light, I did the bluetooth scan from the nexus player. You will be prompted to enter a number code once it connects. just enter the numbers in and press enter on the diNovo and your all set. I really love the mouse pad. has come in very handy for some of the apps that don't all the way support the nexus remote. I too have not really found a "back" button yet (** UPDATE ** See my post further below). I'm sure in some form or fashion it exists with a shift or alt button key press. My keyboard fully works too so I'm not sure why your keyboard is not working. try pairing it again.
** UPDATE ** Back Key
After playing around with my diNovo, I discovered that the "WINDOWS" key activates search mode (pressing the right directional button thereafter enters you in to keyboard/typing mode).
In addition, pressing WINDOWS + BACK keys performs the same function as the BACK button on the Nexus Remote.
** updated keyboard commands ** love this thing!
Ok guys, I spent the day using my diNovo Mini and I am loving this thing more and more, This is funny because I originally purchased this guy about 4-5 years ago to use with my Home Theater PC and PS3 (this guy has a switch on the bottom that allows it to pair with either system), it was so small and easy to use. After some time I had stopped using it and it sat in a box for about 2 years of no use. When I got my Nexus Player I decided to take a look at it again just to see what it can do. As I mentioned in my 1st post I had no problems getting it to pair and work with my Nexus Player. After installing the Lollirock Rom by Zulu99. I successfully paired it again and put it through the ringer. I love how well this guy really works with Android. I know some people are happy with their full keyboard/mouse setup but I hate having all of that clunkyness all over the place. In my opinion the diNovo Mini is the perfect solution for my setup and use.
Here are the updated keyboard commands that I have tested with the Lollirock ROM. I am sure they also apply to the stock Nexus Player ROM since I was using some of them already before I flashed the Lollirock ROM.
Mouse pad = Touch Screen capabilities
OK+Mouse pad = same as above with drag-n-drop/screen drag
Mouse Pad / Directional switch = used interchangeably throughout depending on what app you are using. Directional mode is standard up/down/left/right movement with key press to select item. Mouse Pad mode is full screen "touch" capabilities, key press down to select. (remember to use the "OK" key for drag/drop functionality)
Left Windows Key = Google Now Search/Voice Search
Left Windows Key + Back <-- = Back/Minimize (every now and then this may not work and you have to mouse down to the on screen buttons)
FN+ESC = same functionality (more responsive)
FN+PC (power) = Screen Off (not a power off, any key press awakens the screen again)
FN + ie Explorer = Home Screen
FN + Music Key = Opens Music Player (Google Music)
stop, play/pause, fwd, bwd = Fully functional media keys when music is playing
Right Windows Button + spkr up/dn = System Volume up/down (also clicking on this window while open with mouse pad alows other volume/alert settings)
alt+spkr up/dn = same functionality as above
** The rechargeable battery life is amazing. I used this little guy the entire day with VERY heavy use and not once did it stutter. not sure how many days it can go without a charge. I just plug the charger back in to it at night when I am done.
Let me know if anyone else has been using the diNovo and has discovered any other key combinations that I have not listed above.
oh man, I have the 2.4 ghz version with the unifying receiver. I wonder if it will work via OTG . Used it with my Windows HTPC until I got the nexus player. Should've bought the bluetooth version.
And yes, the battery life is amazing, I was usually charging mine once a month.
update:
The 2.4 ghz Unify receiver version of this keyboard works Plug n Play as well.
Thank you so much for the detailed info!
Since I already flashed the Lolirock rom, I will try to scout for a sh diNovo, maybe there are guys not using it and selling for a bargain.
The NP stock remote is quite limited and noisy at night for my taste and I was already thinking about a fire tv remote instead.
diNovo Mini is a top bluetooth keybord device
Since I already flashed the Lolirock rom (Android 5) by Zulu99, after reading this topic I bought a good sh diNovo, for a bargain. All that chibluboy said about the functioning of the device is true. I also love how well this device pairs and works with Android. The really good thing is that it's so small and ergonomic! Battery life is a dream. For an older device this one rocks, no wonder it was expensive as new.
---------- Post added at 23:27 ---------- Previous post was at 23:16 ----------
I have flashed the new Android 6 ROM developed again by Zulu99 for the Nexus Player. May he live long and prosper!
Logitech diNovo Mini works flawlessly with Android Marshmallow too. Bluetooth connection very stable with this excellent ROM. Since I have an amazon basics usb 3.0 hub attached to the Nexus Player, I have discovered that the bluetooth dongle supplied with the diNovo Mini is also working very well and maintains a stable connection.
I am using the Dinovo Edge which is essentially a larger keyboard version of the Mini. All the functions work exactly as described above. Thanks!
OTG cable?
