so im thinking about buying this msi bluetooth gamepad for my g1 to make my emulation experience a little less cramped.
my problem is that i see no refrence to the use of this game pad on the g1 on this forum or on google.
Any ideas if this gamepad will be "plug and play" or "plug and pray"?
anyone have an idea?
Take a closer look at the specs. Android is not listed as a supported OS at this time.
Ive always wondered when someone would build a blutooth controller for phones
I wonder how hard it would be to get this working in android
it would really make the G1 that much better
I've successfully paired a Wiimote with the G1 but the system doesn't recognize any input from the Wiimote. hcidump -X shows you that the phone is receiving data but I don't think the phone knows what to do with it, yet . I'm thinking about digging a bit further and getting this working.
this is what i am afraid of. i should just get the controller and try to mess around untill i, or sombody else figures out what to do. i could be something as simple as writing a small app to reroute these lost commands to a keystroke or something.
or could be something more massive and complex than i imagine
probably just making an app..... it worked for the bt watches
That sounds doable, except the last program writing I did was with pascal in high school.
I got the android stuff started in eclipse but I'm lost after staring a new project. I should just leave this to a professional.
Anyone want to help?
If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.

So I was playing games on my emulators on my Vibrant and it got me thinking... what if i could use my phone on my Xbox instead of a controller? Could you make an app that you could use to play? Since you can already use wireless controllers, it'd just be about emitting the right signal from the phone and you could use the touch pad in place of buttons.
Genius I know...
Microsoft uses a proprietary wireless standard on their xbox 360 control interface.
The Xbox controller most likely used IR which no phone has. If anything you could use this phone as a PS3 controller since it uses bluetooth.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
That would be nice but I also think it uses infrared.
Good idea though
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
Here's a video of the N900 controlling the PS3 via Bluetooth. I don't think an app like this exists for Android.

The controllers work off a 2.4GHz radio signal, not IR.
ConceptVBS is right, the protocol is proprietary and unpublished. They won't even license it to other manufacturers or developers. (My wife is into robotics and on Trossen forums somebody was trying to figure out how to make this work, but there is just too much back-and-forth between the console and the controller for the initial registration.)
I suppose in theory somebody could write a driver and hijack the wifi radio -- but without the information on the protocol, you have about as much hope as using your microwave oven to control your 360.
wow this thread is old. but I was just thinking the same thing.
this thread has xbox controller enabled rom available for the Elocity A7 running android 2.2. question is, can anyone else do this for a vibrant?? I'm sure there would be quite a few ppl, including myself, willing to donate towards a product like that!
boo yeahhh! vibrant with a wireless xbox controller would be soooo siiickkkk
What controller are you guys using (i.e. emulators, Gameloft games)? Can one controller be used for all types?
Check this out... DO you think it will be any good?

Reviving an old thread... but after I saw that thing I just had to ask if anyone actually has and uses the sticky analogue stick thingie?
Imo it just looks funny and looks like it could mess with a screen protector (but an interesting idea nevertheless)
there is an app on the market that will let you pair wiimotes with any android device, much cheaper option for us folk that already own wii's
Aye, just read about it... setting it up with the free Wiimote applications right now
Do you know of any app that would also support the nunchuk?
Hey everyone,
Have had my tablet for over a month now and absolutely loving it. Just a question to anyone that may know better than me. I was trying to link a PS3 remote to my tablet but no luck with the bluetooth connection. I have seen videos on youtube of a logitech remote, but since it is a sony device(playstation certified one none the less) I was hoping to use them when playing games. I know there is a program called siaxis controller, and siaxis compatability, but no go with either of them......anyone have any ideas or luck with trying?. I have even plugged the controller into the usb slot with the cable.
the pad currently won't work. Sony use a weird bluetooth setup on the ps3.
I've been told in 2 sony shops that it will officially support the pads at some point I'm guessing with ics.
If we got root then you can hack it to work but no root so far
It can be done with a USB connected controller, I can't post the link yet, but search Youtube for 'Sony Tablet S with PlayStation Gaming Controller' a MobileTech review.
Not sure about a wireless option though.
Yeah this was what I thought..... I looked high and low and couldn't find any info on the PS3 controller connection. I did find the video you were talking about for the usb controller. Thanks for that. Just a little bit of a bummer. One thing they seemed to have over looked, but I am sure with some software update in the near future, or rooting, we will figure out a way to get it to work.
If anyone finds anything in the mean time, please post it.....would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The problem with video is it uses Logitech not Sony controller, I wish there was a way to use Sony one wirelessly or wired at least.
For the past few days I have been racking my brain and searching multiple forums for the answer(s) and I finally turn to XDA to hopefully help answer.
The thought: I would love to be able to take my DroidX connect it via HDMI to a 7" monitor in my car to have a nice view of the navigation, access to my music and all of the other items that the phone has to offer (which include data connection and accurate GPS). Sure I can buy an android based headunit or build a carPC but why when I have what all of that has to offer in my pocket? Then I got to thinking, to take it a step further, why not use a 7" touchscreen monitor so that I am not just passing video and sound via the HDMI but that the monitor registers touches to the phone.
WebTop is a great middle of the road solution as it would output the HDMI and allow the user to utilize the phone as the mouse touchpad on the screen. Sadly it is only offered for a select few phones. So on to my questions.
1. Did I some how miss a WebTop project being worked on that would do what I am talking about?
2. Am I wrong in thinking that drivers need to be worked out depending on the phone AND which 7" TS was used?
3. Most, if not all, android phones have video out capabilities, so outputting to the screen would be workable, but is there a better way to get the input hurdle worked out.. not a question just an open suggestion box.
Looks like a few more days or looking would have helped. Customgadz has what I need.
so what did you find? I searched for Customgadz, with no results. did you use hdmi mirroring with Android, or does this work with webtop?
Looks like the australian website has a solution to control an android device with a 4 wire external touchscreen using a module.
search for "customgadz remote touch"
Only pre-order now and the website states they start delivering end of januari
Hello everyone. I've fallen into a deep rabbit hole of troubleshooting with my Redmi Note 9 Pro EU with Android 11 and MIUI 12.5.8 on board.
I want to play Fortnite Mobile as a great break between everyday activities, so I found a cheap second-hand Nintendo Switch controller and tried to play with it. It's connecting by bluetooth but doesn't work in the game... I tried with USB OTG and it worked ONCE after some messing with the Octopus app in Fortnite and Brawhalla. I was so happy, but it never worked again.
So, I found another controller - this time designed for Android - Stratus XL - but this pad is even bigger mess. It connects by bluetooth as well as OTG but nothing works in games.
SOOOOOOOO I bought an original PS4 controller because I read many optimistic articles and people's comments, that Dualshock is supported by Android. And I'm used to this pad - it's my teenage memory
Indeed, it works beautifully with Android (the touch bar works as a mouse), but it again DOESN'T work with the games..........
Now I'm pissed off. I don't want to buy another controller... and Nintendo Switch pad worked once...
I'm thinking about what I can change in the system, to bind the buttons properly for the games I play...
On the XDA DEV forum, I found 1controller module, but it was written in the times of Android 9 or 10, and I'm not sure if I want to root my phone just to check it out.
Anyway, I'm sure that I'll need to access root at some point, but first I need a piece of good advice from someone who knows something about Android.
I was thinking also about updating Android to v12... but I'm also not sure about it. Maybe there is something easier I can do... because if Nintendo Switch pad WAS WORKING ONCE.... (this is so confusing xD )
