I downloaded the Wii controller app on the market, but it gives me the message. Error! your device does't support bluetooth!
has anybody else got the wii mote to connect to there device for gaming.
i got an ass of emulators, roms, and isos so i need a decent input method
From what I understand, the bluetooth stack in samsung's version of Android isn't properly implemented or is missing features of version 2.2 etc. In effect, keyboards,mice, bluetooth controllers wont work until an updated bt stack is hacked into the roms. More than likely will be implemented in CM6 methinks. Cant wait!
Thanks for the explanation. 2.2 on galaxy s is gonna be very nice.

the problem is most likely that the program is designed for bluetooth 2.1 and we have bluetooth 3.0 so there is a compatability issue there. when they update the program to the newest bluetooth version, it should work again
Good to know. I sure hope that is the only issue plaguing the software. Not really wanting to deal with old bt stack ala HTC with Sense.
Any update, I'm using darky 10.2 but still doesn't seem to work (the app seems to stop when it detects the phone type, rather than any specific error)
Read the previous posts, it doesn't work on Samsung roms, aosp (cyanogen) roms do support it though.
I wish it worked too...
What about ICS?

Update: I am now going to be updating this thread with Roms that work with the WiiMoteController app and other HID support. If you have any extra info, please either post or PM me.
It seems that these are mostly roms built from the ground up, ones with 99% of the samsung crap removed. Here's to hoping for a nice BT stack!

Original Post:
I was wondering with EB01, whether HID input was supported. I really want to use a bluetooth controller with my phone
Anyone know of a way to get it working?
I noticed that I was able to connect to other phones using bluetooth after EB01, maybe it'll work with a controller too.
no, HID doesn't work yet. Regular android doesn't support it, but CM6 and CM7 do, so once kaos gets his builds working with bluetooth, we'll finally have or HID support.
wrong forum btw
my droid x would pair with a wii remote stock
I had a thought, the Galaxy Tab has Bluetooth HID support on it. Can that be ported to our Fascinate?
Bump for great justice, anyone with a clue feel like looking into this?
There's not much to do beside wait for punkkaos unless you want to help him port CM7. I've been wanting this too, so maybe if I ever get some time I might play around with the cyanogenmod source. But I have no experience writing operating systems so don't expect anything from me.
I have successfully paired and used my wiimote with my fascinate on jt's aosp using the WiiMoteController app in the market eventhough the post says bluetooth is borked. So idk what's up with that.

paired but does it connect?
I've paired my BT HID keyboard with most ROMS I've tried, but i have never connected, and never been able to use it yet. Punk Kaos is the only one i know who is working on a solution.
I will have to try pairing my wii remote than, I'll let you know results.
Update : Didn't work on JT's Superclean EB01.
I have a Wiimote working on jamezelle's MIUI, so I guess that means it works.

Oh nice! I didn't realize wiimote works on AOSP but I guess the main thing that's broken for that is bluetooth headsets? Now I need to find my bluetooth keyboard and maybe get another wiimote just for gaming. Kind of glad the bluetooth game gripper flopped, I can just get another wiimote although the PS3 controller would imo be better for emulators.
I didn't think of that, I'm going to look for an app for it

For me it won't even turn on bluetooth on vanilla aosp 0.8.1. Did you just enable it in settings?
@newtype: superclean is not an aosp rom so it still has Samsung's bluetooth stack, meaning it won't work.
i have the apple wireless keyboard working on jamzelle's MIUI v4 rom!
Due to an astounding lack of information on the subject I decided to open a thread dedicated to listing off bluetooth controllers for android devices. This way we can play anything from dos games to ps1 games.
There is a PS1 style controller out currently from Phonejoy. They have a dual analog controller in the works.
http://www.phonejoy.net/
Another choice is Zeemote though it is pricey and from what I could find (correct me if I am wrong) they are only offering it for devs for android. That and its like $60.
http://www.zeemote.com/uk/developers/zeemote-sdk/
MSI BPG100 Gamepad. The design looks.....odd, it honestly doesnt look lile a comfortable controller.

If you guys have any other ones that you know of feel free to post it up and I will add it to the list.

My question is, how many of those are sense friendly? I know from the thunderbolt forums that sense roms won't work with bt controllers. I see that the AOSP tons do, apparently from a different Bluetooth stack. Thanks for the links!
It's because of Bluetooth 3.0. Once more of those accessories start coming out, we'll see working gamepads that will work for Sense devices.
I use my zeemote (that I picked up for $20 shipped on the bay) with my epic4g and its fantastic. It doesn't want to pair with the view because the view wants to autoassign a pin instead of using the default lol

Did someone try the PS3 controller app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689984
or are there other ones working?
Hello, been lurking around here for a while, thought I would finally make my first post. I was wondering if there had been any more discoveries on sense-friendly bt controllers, or any (preferably HC) flyer roms with a full bluetooth stack. I have globatrons hc installed at the moment, and I would absolutely love to be able to play with my wiimote (like I am able to on my Inspire via CM7).
So, in summation, are there any sense compatible bt controllers out there?
-OnLive Universal Wireless Controll
-zeemote
Are there any there any vanilla/sense-less HC roms for flyer?
There are no vanilla ROMs. Most people do not want one since it kind of deprciates the uniique qualities of the Flyer. for WI, I don't know. Most apps that do that don't like to work with HTC.
I recently read a thread about a guy who wrote CobaltController for windows phones. Some windows phones do not have full BT support either, it seems, and suffer a similar inability to pair with controllers such as the wiimote. He wrote a program that acts as a second BT stack that can be ran while your phones default BT is off.
Would it be possible to create a similar apps for sense phones? I would gladly contribute $50 towards developement of such a program for sense devices that allows pairing with the wiimote in particular.
Has anyone tried the iControlPad from ThinkGeek.com? If not I will give it a try after the holidays, and post the results... They did list a couple HTC phones, so I am hopeful.
Nate
Obviously there is not a astounding amount of demand for such apps or one of the current WI controller apps on the market would have been fixed to work with the Flyer, but that being said, I would recommend you contact some of those developers on the market and ask if that can fix the issues or have an alternative.
I would have to disagree with you. Perhaps that argument could be made specifically for Wiimote support on the flyer, but more broadly the problem experienced via sense UI for many BT devices that have similar pairing issues is something I believe there is a demand for a solution.
I have used the search function on this issue extensively, and there was a lot more interest it seems before it was certain that honeycomb would be coming to flyer. I believe many thought HC would clear up all the BT issues with sense, which was not the case.
In any case after searching through LeeDroid's rom thread I have read he would be dealing with BT issues for his rom (though not specifically for my device) so that may be the end solution I have to go with, if he gets a working fix and it is compatable with my device. It is a shame though because I do really enjoy honeycomb.
HTC does not write the bluetooth stack , its part of Android. Android only includes basic device support. Each HW vendor includes settings in configuration files that tell Android which services to allow, HTC may need to tweak the settings or a clever developer can do it. Audio issues are a different matter due to the Linux mess that is audio libraries and routing.
Special devices, even if they pair will not work without a special key-mapping and its impossible to include every device in the OS, so your premise that a new version of Android will solve all issues is simply wrong. That's why there are third party apps to handle special cases like a WI controller or a bluetooth GPS. SO while Android may pair and recognize that a game controller is a HID device on bluetooth , unless there is a matching key map or driver, your results will not be happy.
I am aware HTC does not write the BT stack... but they do use an older, less functional, blue tooth stack to work with their sense UI.
"Special devices, even if they pair will not work without a special key-mapping and its impossible to include every device in the OS, so your premise that a new version of Android will solve all issues is simply wrong. "
I never said that. If you take a look at what I said; I stated that there was interest in some sort of blue tooth fix prior to honeycomb coming out, and people INCORRECTLY assumed that it would clear up any bt problems.
Any of the emulation progams I run support keymapping to the remote. And the devices can be seen by the device, but pairing is impossible. So the bt stack on these devices is the issue, though you seemed mighty determined to insist otherwise.
Well whatever, you seem to know more than anyone else about it so fix it.
The Bluetooth stack used by HTC is written by Broadcomm and used by Samsung, LG, HTC and others. As you can see by studying the Android Market, all those devices you listed are special cases and require a special application to make them work . For example Bluez IME which has been reported to work on the Flyer. Good luck.
I have downloaded the newest version of bluez ime and it would not successfully pair with my Flyer running Globatron's HC rom.
Bluez IME will not work on the flyer, if it running any version of HTC sense. or so the program developer says:
http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=7
I have also read on a market review someone claiming it worked with the flyer. However they did not mention which devices, drivers, or firmware they were using.
I could not find a suitable Bluetooth controller in bestbuy the other day. I've heard of such things as the Wii remote working for android, but I read further and found it did not work with Sense UI. So I decided to go and buy a Bluetooth keyboard because I was used to the PC gaming style anyways. It works fine for the n64 emulator, but I wish more keys were mapped on mine, and I am trying to get it to work.

You should try out BT Controller app on the market.
You can use your phone as a gamepad and no htc bt stack issues.

Keys are mapped in files in /system/usr/keylayout
it's not so straightforward and depends on what vendor ID the device presents. If it matches an installed key map, ok, but if not then it may get either the generic map or the qwerty map. The Flyer already has maps for logitech , Sony, Apple and Motorola bluetooth keyboards, but not MS. you might start by searching for a MS keymap file.
WARNING< backup your files / ROM before you modify any key map files in your system.
Good luck

or you could forget bluetooth specialty drivers and custom devices and use something that already works, the Xbox 360 controller which has support built-in on the Flyer.
What you will need:
1. Xbox 360 wireless controller
2. An Android Emulator
3. micro USB to USB Female Cable USB-OTG N900 or some other USB port adapter specific for your Android device.
4. Honeycomb 3.0+ or above.
5. Xbox 360 wireless dongle/receiver

This is confirmed working on the Flyer/View? I thought that they didn't provide any power to USB devices, which would inhibit the receiver from working properly. Am I missing something?
does anyone have a list of compatible roms that will allow this app to run on the evo 3d?
There is a compatibility checker on the market.
yea i know but instead of flashing every rom it would be easier to just have a list
I'm fairly sure that it won't work on any rom until we get an AOSP based rom. HTC for some reason didn't include the bluetooth HID (Human Interface Devices) module needed to let things like bluetooth keyboards, mice, and controllers work.
I thought I read somewhere they did something different with the bluetooth stack on the 3d besides being 3.0. Like it has HID but it's still kinda screwed up
Does anyone know if this App works for Stock Software or CM7 on our SGS2?
I read that it does not work on the Stock software, but the test app says it should work on my SGS2 running CM7. I dont have any of the controllers, so I need someone to confirm this!
According to this link http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html, it should work on CM7 because it use the correct protocol for BT.

reguarding the BT stack to make the dualshock 3 work on android, can it not be pulled from "somehwere" and inserted into our stock roms? Or is there more to it than just that? can someone please educate me as to what would have to be done to make dualshock controllers work on any rom?
I bought i ControlPad - works fine with stock BT drivers.

Hello,
I have an HTC Inspire 4g running Mustaavalkosta's unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM. Everything works great, except my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000, which is an HID Bluetooth keyboard (no SPP). I get a proper PIN exchange and it pairs with my phone successfully, but I can't actually type anything with the keyboard, and it does not appear in the Languages and Input section of the Settings app. The keyboard itself is good because I can use it with my laptop and an iPad.
I've tried apps like BlueInput, MyBlueCon, and Bluetooth keyboard easyconnect, but all fail to make a connection with my keyboard. In the case of BlueInput, I get a message that "this Android does not support Bluetooth HID."
Any other workarounds I could try? Or am I missing something really, really obvious?
(I have a feeling this is a ROM problem and I should be posting in its development thread, but I do not have the permissions.)
I just installed Cyanogenmod 7 stable, and the keyboard does work with this ROM. So does Cyanogenmod 10 just not have HID Bluetooth support? That would be a shame...

Bump! Running CM 10.1 (the TeamCanjica mod) on a Galaxy Ace 2. Phone can seemingly pair with the HID devices which worked in stock rom, but no luck in connecting to them. It just says connecting and never gets connected.
This rom, in contrast to the stock rom, is really fast, stable and nice. But the possible abscence of BT HID is a bummer. Is it often an intended omission from the CM development team and if so does anyone know why? Does anyone know of possible workarounds? On an older device with Android 2.x, I think I installed some third-party app which worked rather nice.

I have used a Logitec dinovo mini for years on Android without using the dongle, but now under Android 8 Oreo, it seems to connect asking for pin and registers, but it does not do anything, and the connect light on the device goes on blinking. If I connect via USB C- OTG - dongle, it works fine, but that is useless as I need the USB C port for HDMI to TV to display the fantastic Linux like desktop (Huawei Mate 10 Pro).
