Hello,
Is there anyway i can use the ameo as a PS3 keyboard?
Also is there anything else i can do with Ameo/PS3?
Thanks
pk4 might have something to do with ps3.. but im not sure if that was people taking the piss, or if pawel actually said it... but no you cant use it as a keyboard i dont think, but maybe someone might be able to tell me otherwise.
Rory
PK4; what is that and what does it do?
pk4 is the rom were all waiting for, basically most forums have roms made by loads and loads of people. But due to the nature of the athena, the highest end device, people donated a large sum of money to get 2 athenas for developers. this was called the athena project. Basically, olipro made the unlocker for the athena, and pawel and midget were cooking roms for it. since then, there have been 3 roms released, and they are very high quality. so now, we are waiting for the fourth project rom, nicknamed and shortened to PK4. It has been rumored that the rom will include some kind of ps3 functionality, but what functionalty eans i dont know. have a read of the thread called "athena project 4 coming soon but needs..." from about page 45 for more info.
hope this helps
Rory
You are really going to explain everything? Got noting else to do or what...?
NB: check the forum for info. Just click BACK on your browser and look in the PK 4.0 treads...

I want to ask Pawel if you provide today the AP4 we donate for a ps3, and clean your room, wash your car, .... come on
I am thinking to open a post where we do a list of things we should provide you, ok?
What's a PS3? Does it play games or something?
damn, i was sure you said it yourself... hmmmm i wanted xmb through athena... ooohhhh lol...
in the back of my mind, i knew it was a random person messing up our fun

PS3 is like PK3 only not as good because Pawel062 doesn't have anything to do with it. He's too busy cooking PK4.
I've got the PS3 Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Pro, nice black keyboard with mousepad integrated... maybe it could support it so I don't have to reach for my phone whilst playing Gran Turismo 5 prologue (which by the way is so m***********g sweet!)
Alright... never mind. So stupid I never tried! It works already with Ap 3.0! Very nice to have 1 input device for my notebook, PC, PS3 (on linux) and Ameo!
Why would anyone want to bother getting the Athena to talk to that piece of tat!
Now getting the Wiimote working would be highly amusing.
Can you imagine a journey on public transport? Wonder how long it would take before someone phoned the police...
lol. one thing we know.... this is a launch none of us will ever forget.
in theory it would be possible, as the PS3 already supports a bespoke Remote Desktop client, (it is used to allow you to control your PS3 with your PSP) if you could get the ameo to identify itself as a PSP on the wifi network and then wrote the client s/ware (copied from a PSP) to get the commands down, then yes the ameo would work as a keyboard, or even a touch mouse !

Did you not watch until the end where he was scrolling up and down that list just as smooth as on the iPhone, still in development but it looks so cool.
holy ****. Did anyone else notice HOW FAST all the apps opened up when he pressed them? It takes at least 1-2 seconds more on my device 8525!!! Can anyone here figure out how he is able to make it open sooooo fast?
(1) he is using a Eten phone rather than a HTC?
(2) he probably had it minimized as oppose to closed, that you might have done?
perhaps he did not use HTC X button, or something like that to really close application, not only minimize them. but you right, it is really fast. maybe he overclock his device. In my old FS Loox n500 I can overclock my CPU to 550MHz and it was fast too.

let the programing begin guys. i see that this is done by programing (ppl) is this really hard to do.
now question guys? if our great programers on here are albe to recreate damn near almost everything in the iphone. Would you go by one?
This is the guys site:

See some more pictures and urge him to release it to the PPC world..
Hi there....
i think this is just a wisbar skin .... isn't it???
that phone probably has a faster processor than the hermes, and thats why everything opens faster...

The apple's shadow..
If you read his blog will understand.
But he said that may release the stuff in the future (maybe when iphone will be in stores).
Now whe can wait or develop for ourself or.. avoid apple?
Let's get to Working Delvlopers...i talked to him he won't release it for legal issues. Which sux but i know we can develop it!!
I defenately like this.
A Damn good job.
Eten uses the similar processor as ours...
Samsung SC32442A 400MHz processor vs
Samsung S3C 2440 400 MHz Processor
well he's a bit dim then for making a big deal of it before he released it. if he released it first then apple would doubtfully have a leg to stand on to do anything about it.
its not using any of their code, its not making money. what makes it any different than Skins for windows etc.
This guy's good. Only a few weeks since the announcement of the iphone and he's already got a working slidelock & iphone-esque scrolling.
He's got to release. Be it via bittorrent, sendspace-etc where apple can't really touch him. He's not using their code, as gibbon said above, so all he has to do is lose the iphone graphics and apple can't really touch him.

I have started this thread out of frustration regarding all the irrelevant BS being posted in the AP 4.0 coming but needs... and official AP 4.0 release threads.
It seems the team's request to not post in the official release thread is not being heeded so hopefully all the irrelevant and off-topic "I hope it is being released soon" and "Where is it?" type activity will end up here instead.
And when the ROM is released, hopefully the mods will flush this all down the toilet.
In other words, POST ALL THE STUPID BS HERE AND NOT IN THE OTHER THREADS!
I am now putting on my fireproof underwear and waiting for the flame wars...
Thank you.
They'll probably still continue to post in the other 1 million threads anyway, including the one that clearly states DO NOT POST. Sigh.....Anyway, what are some of your expectations in the new ROM?
Hello tootallk, let me ask a question ....
Do you have children ?
Then you know the best way if you want children something to do. Tell them "DON'T DO THAT" or "DON'T REPLY HERE"....
Anyway - live is serious enough, let's have some fun.

WOW 17 and owning a X7500! Are you some internet wizzkid?
Has anyone noticed the "...coming but needs..." thread has more replies than the 3.0 release thread (and that ROM has been out for months)?
lol.. nope i just have to do something with my time... i think it all started [my ppc obsession] when i was on mobile360.co.uk, looking at coming soon phones, and saw the athena.. i was like wtf, thats huge... then I did some research and picked up a SPV M3100 for about a hundred and fifty quid. Then 6 months later, being dropped loads and loads hadnt done it any good, and after trying to fix it, I sold it. Then I knew the device I wanted, having drawn the athenas outline on some paper, and putting my tytn inside the outline, it really wasnt that much bigger. So I got an ameo with a blocked imei from a guy on here, But circumstances were against me, and 3 weeks later I had to downgrade because of money probs. [the thing was, I sold it, and it didnt arrive in italy, so i ended up nearly 400 quid out of pocket, when it could have been like 130 in pocket, with an ameo] I picked up a touch enhanced, but no keyboard was really a drag. plus gprs and 210mhz made it really slow... so once my debt [thats why i wold mt ameo in the first palce] had been paid off, I got my second ameo... and its as good as the first time
So, am I some kinda of internet whizzkid, nah, im just an engineer, and need something to play with 24/7
By the way, ppc's are the reason I went from 3 A's and a D in my first as modules to like 2A's, 2B's, 2C's and 2D's in my second lot. But my recentest ones werent too bad, 2A's, 2B's and 2 E's, i should probably ban myself from my phone until exams are over on the 19th of june!

Isn't there anyone on this forum who knows a safer way to acquire a LG BLUETOOTH STYLE-i ?
Some work others don't they were only sold in the US. I got mine off eBay and it's one of the ones that keeps losing the BT connection which is why Pawel sugested it could be a fake.

i rather wait for the official release instead become "white mouse".
hope AP team can be release the rom ASAP.

hi ice_coffee,
don't worry ... i don't need tha ap4 now.
when released (and tested) is probably that i upgrade my athena (now i use wm5 and i'm very happy).
agree (and agree to all the ap4 team. my first message was by joke, regard the smilley)...
Is the Holy Grail, everybody is looking for it, somebody says "Thank's God, I've got it and it is wonderful", nobody says WHY it is wonderfull!
Isn't faster, it could brick your device, used in a car the screen plays the macarena dance... it is a strong companion of the WW beetle car: not a single advantage compared to the other cars, but everybody want's one! Definitively IT'S a LEGEND!

@rory => AP4 is not what you suggest, but Thomas did not need to touch the nail prints or put his hand into the side where the spear had gone. He simply fell to his knees and believed.
What I can't beleive is that you (collectively) would even think to bring doubting Thomas into this arena. Perhaps you are sincere in your faith, but this is a cell phone and a new ROM were on about. It may seem like eternity waiting for the official release, but on the grand scheme of things, this is a vapour, which appears for a short time then is gone. (enough for this line of discussion for now, I hope)
OMG
I do not know what is happening :O Since 2 months I am looking for this AP 4 .
The worst thing with the AP 3 is that the alarm is ringing at the past time zones ...as I change them very often...and the problem is westbound as is not nice to wake up at 5 or 6 am cause the ap is nice, but without the basic things

The description says:
"Bluetooth does work via the "sixaxis tool" on Android Market (requires root). It is however limited and doesn't work with Riptide GP nor Shadowgun (gamepad not detected). It does work with a few emulators after some tweaking, but it's far from as quick and easy as with a USB connection. "
ICS will have native support for controllers so its only a matter of time.
That is so cool. but does it not work via bluetooth?
really enjoyed this, as i know nothing about nothing. I wasn't sure if i could run good emulators on this thing... now i know.

With the wireless dongle in the. Dock, it would. All I remember them saying and me seeing is them using the controller with it and it's supported. Now Remember, some games don't support the bt controller option and will have to be used with controller plugged in. I think there's work around for that if game doesn't support it. some app in marketplace can't remember name of.
Its not a matter if Prime supports controller cuz it supports them all. It's a matter of if the game itself supports wireless gamepad or gamepad support. As far as I know, it's ShadowGun n riptide that doesn't support the wireless unless workaround used. I may be wrong on that, hopefully someone else chime in with more insight into that.
Any idea if third part Xbox360 controllers will work? I have a wired Afterglow controller that's picking up dust that I'd love to use over a BT wireless controller (to save on batteries). Just the fact that Google decided to support these controllers natively in ICS is so great. I love what Google has been doing over the past couple years! And people say iOS is user FRIENDLY. Pfft!

I like having different threads for different things. Seriously, look at all the posts this thread spawned. If someone doesn't have a wireless controller, nor care anything about wireless controller connectivity, why should they have to sort through all these posts in a generalized review thread? This way, they can easily ignore all this and focus on the things that are of interest.
Frankly I'm getting a bit annoyed every time someone posts something like "why does this have its own thread?" It's not like it costs XDA money for every new thread or something If you don't like that there are a bunch of different threads, don't read them! But don't ***** because people like organization or think things should be organized differently than you think they should.
