Does the Wiimote app work? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the Wiimote app work?

Nope
Sent from my Galaxy S II using XDA App

Expected it wouldn't work, since this will be using Samsung's own BT stack, and not the stock Android one (which is the only one that works with the WiiMote app). Guess we'll be sticking to BT keyboard/mouse for controlling the SGSII, just like the SGSI before it. USB gamepads may work though, with the USB OTG ability, wonder if any owners can try that out for us?

[Q] Netflix on Galaxy Tab 10.1

So, in all my searching I can find nothing to suggest anybody has gotten any of the Netflix apks out there to work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 running HC 3.1. Am I correct? Is there no mod that can be applied to coerce it into working?
Yea no one was successful so far. I tired all the versions I could find with no luck.

Darn. I'm wondering if its even possible at this point given that nobody has been able to do it thus far. Which leaves us all waiting until Netflix decides to support our chipset.
You can always get PlayOn and stream it through your pc. That's what im doing. Works wonders.

That would require for me to be at home. In which case I would watch netflix through my ps3

That's not true. PlayOn is the software that runs on the PC. You can access all that content long as your tab has a wifi or 3g connection. Just leave your PC on.

All .apks here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150) don't work.
Good thing Best Buy has a 15 day return window. Tablet without netflix is worthless. I'll wait and buy something newer down the road once netflix is supported if there's no support in 14 days.

I think I might be leaning the same way, especially since the GT10.1 doesn't have access to Google Movies either. I love the tablet. The look and feel are wonderful. But few tablet optimized apps and no Netflix makes me sad.
Well for those giving up on the tab becasue of Netflix .. all I have ot say is to each his own. At least I can watch Netflix on my phone if needs be. And I'm sure it will come sometime later. I can look at Hulu instead for now.

Well when it does work, then maybe they'll rebuy it then. No need throwing $500 around if what you're spending it on is not working out. At the end of the day its their money.

I couldn't get Hulu. I either got a message telling me to upgrade my Flash or that the site didn't work with my device. I used the debug option to set my browser to Desktop and everything. Just wouldn't work for me.

CM7 USB Host/OTG

Not a lot of information available, but the implication is that it's been enable, but not tested. I *really* want a physical keyboard at times. Has anyone got one to work?

Is the usb otg working in the overclocked rom build by succulent? I have it installed at it mentions additional storage:/mnt/usbdisk in storage settings and has CifsManager installed by default. You can find the CM7.2 rom by searching iamafanof with Google.

Weird, I'm using an OTG cable w/ CM7 installed, and I can't seem to connect my USB keyboard. I have installed Nook Tweaks, but it still doesn't work. Any help?

The NT is not yet OTG capable. It needs to be enabled in a kernel.

unfortunately I still can't get WiiremoteController (or w/e the app is called) to recognize my wii controller :/
Is there something I'm missing? I heard there are extra steps in getting it to work on most HTC devices.. or is that what you did? haha
I had thought what I did would allow the controllers as well, but only had a kybd to test.
Sorry guys.

I just read that the new software update that dropped today has "improved" Bluetooth drivers, maybe now something can be done to get game pads to work?

Quick bump for an awesome area of development. I am really hoping to see BT connectivity for video game controllers. Extra thanks to any extra attention that can be given in this direction. Now that we have S-off, should be way easier, right? (j/k j/k wink wink nudge nudge)

You can use a PS3 controller as a controller with the Nexus 6 without root. You just need to pick up a USB OTG cable

Sorry to hear that. What about the Moga controllers?

Asus Padfone X ticks

Hello, I am unsure if there is a thread about this topic, I have not found one, but remember reading that there are some issues with using an Asus Padfone X with T Mobile service. I will be using the phone unlocked on the Ting provider, I will be rooting it, and have seen that some people are flashing the S firmware on it.
Are there any issues with using the phone in this way? And are there any limitations, like not being able to use the tablet dock or something like that?
I'm using a PFX flashed with PFS firmware on T-Mobile with no issues. Tablet dock works fine. Just make sure you SIM unlock your device.
