I've read everywhere that the Wii remote isn't working on Galaxy S phones due to TouchWiz. Is there any way to remove touchwiz or a workaround to get the wii remote to work on this phone?
I wasn't sure if this belonged in general or this forum so sorry if I messed up.
Its an issue with samsung using its own bluetooth sofware instead of stock android called "bluez".
Everyone is hoping that once we get CM6 for the galaxy series, the stock bluetooth bluez will be used, the wii controller app will work and we will be good to go
Source code released
Now that the source code is released, will we get this working? Thanks.

It comes up with the following error:
An error occured. Last error: No route to host.
Then it says that it might not work on unmodified Samsung devices. Any way to modify my device so that it'll work?
it is known that this app do not work in any galaxy phone, even the description on the app say it.
i hope they fix it... or make an app to use the PS3 controller xD
Yes I realize that the apps says it wont work on unmodified phones, that's why I'm asking if theres any modification available that'll allow me to do it. Otherwise I'll probably have to wait for Cyanogen.

i think the problem is with touchwiz, yeah, i think u will have to wait to cyanogen or wait for another app or an update,
i dont own a wii controler, and i want to try it too, maybe ill go to a game store to try it.. but i want the other controler, the big old fashioned (if i can find it) or maybe use the PS3 controller (no app yet)
It doesn't work because of Samsung's bluetooth stack, so we are pretty much waiting on CM to allow us the use of wiimotes. I wouldn't count on app updates, the wiimote app has only been updated once in like a year, and that update hasn't fixed compatibility with Samsung devices.
The Phonejoy and iControlPad both work, I have a Phonejoy and its nice to use with the emulators (especially with MHL, as you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bmtulP9Vlg).

I'm very new as a member and I've been trying to find a rom which will allow me to have the ability to connect a Wii controller and use tv out function. I have tried Bluez on TW based roms and understand that the Wii controller will not connect due to the bluetooth stack. On these roms the TV out function works perfectly. With CM7 I can successfully connect Wii controllers but there is as of yet as of any of the release canadates or nightlies (81) no TV out function. Is there anyone aware of a rom with both of these capabilities or can someone tell me where to offically request this ability on CM7?
I really love CM7 and have the entire process memorized to get gps working on CM7, but the lack of tv out just kills it for me. Such possibility as a portable gaming system that I don't see an opportunity to take advantage of.
I've performed searches for those combinations and have thus far yielded nothing. if somone can point me in the right direction I would be extremly greatful and I would love to support through some donations any group willing to take on the task of incorperating both in a single rom.
Not gonna happen. Just no functionality for tv out on cm7 until source is dropped for 2.3 for the T959, which is not going to happen.

Hi all,
I've just been with my friend in work when we spotted the PS3 controller for android phones app, and so we downloaded the compatibility check, his passed (galaxy Nexus)
Mine Failed EVO 3D running sense
I know there was a problem withe the bluetooth stack within sense UI, but surely someone must have broken through this barrier and got it to work on our beloved androids running Sense UI.
Apparently there was some talk about the wiimote being worked on for Sense phones, but i've not been able to see it nor have i read much on google, try searching "Sense UI bluetooth controller" and you'll find a tonne of sites telling you how it DOENS'T work on sense ui not good.
Any info, (hopefully good news) would be nice.
Cheers
Short of porting the AOSP stack to sense, I don't think it will be possible.

Where does that bluetoothbstack reside? Surely there must be a way to extract it, i read that its only missing a protocol, hid its called, the guys who created cyanogenmod would probably be the best people for this. Gaming on android is going to take off, hdmi connection and controller support, htc needs to get on the bandwagon.
Hi, I've been trying for like five straight days to figure out a method to get the WiiU Pro Controller to work with my HTC One and I've had no luck. The problem is that I need a pin to enter on my phone to pair it when in reality you don't and that's the problem. I can't find a way to bypass not entering a key. I've tried everything and have failed, I'd pay to see someone to get this to work and I think this could be the place. Any help?
Same here. I am looking and will report back if I find something

Anybody have info on this? I have had no luck with the PS3 controller or the Wii U Pro controller and would love a solution.
I don't have any experience with the WiiU Pro controller but Android 4.2 broke Wiimote support. I am running a 4.1 ROM to use a Wiimote for games. Also I used to own an HTC device and Sense wasn't compatible with Wiimotes and I had to switch to CM to use one but that was ages ago.. Food for thought.
Hey there,
I've lately been exploring the true potential of the Wii U Pro Controller. So far I have been able to pair it with PC and utilize it flawlessly with a Steam game (Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition), so I've moved on to see it's capabilities in the android world.
I've done quite a bit of research and can confirm the only way you can possibly utilize this controller up till today is with an app that specifically claims to support it. At the moment the only known ones are any of Robert Broglia's apps. He has managed to incorporate a feature called "Scan for Wiimotes/iCP/JS1" which works like magic with the Wii U Pro Controllers. I have been able to connect 4 controllers to it just by enabling the scan and pressing the "Sync" button on each controller. Unfortunately though this doesn't actually "pair" the controllers per say, it seems like it's only a very temporary connection which disappears once you press Home button or exit the app. This limits you to only SNES/GB and the other few apps he has but hey at least it's a start.
Now moving onto the actual "pairing" side of things - I have recently downloaded a number of bluetooth manager apps and joystick input apps to experiment with, and using a combination of a few, I was able to somehow pair the controller!
[See attached, noobs aren't allowed to post URLs ]
HOWEVER - unfortunately I have tried using it with a few apps (mainly N64 ones) and it seems to be totally unresponsive. Either that or perhaps I'm not using the correct Joystick button mapping apps...
Btw I'm still using 4.1.2, during my research I've noticed a lot of people on 4.2 have been unsuccessful with most of what I've mentioned above...

I love the Wii U Pro controller and I am trying everything to get it to work with my device. Like you said, only the .emu apps work.
The devices that worked were:
Hisense Sero 7 Pro
Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Iam intrested as well. I cant figure it out. People say it can be paired with snes9x, but i couldnt pair it.
Ughhh I thought I found the thread with a method

No, regardless of it being paired, there is not a single way I can use it, all four lights on the controller remain blinking (probably normal till an intended-for-use app instructs it to light only 1 LED), and whatever app I try to use it with, won't register or recognize any keypresses.

I assume your Android OS version is later than 4.1.2?
Supposedly this works, but you may need to attach a bluetooth dongle to your device (yes, even though it already has bluetooth built in):

is this the app?

uh.... i found this app in the app store recently and was curious if this would help anybody... it claims that i works with wii remotes and does work with the ps4 controller~
the reason that i cant comfirm if it works or not is because i dont own a wii u pro controller (yet lol)
i hope this helps! sorry if it doesnt
damn it aparently i cant post links yet..
anywho you can search this in the android market and it should send you to one of his apps

This might help anybody having pairing issues. My nabi 2 has an option for ''bluetooth time out'' before changing it to ''never off'' i couldn't pair my phone. Afterwards it paired effortlessly.
Hi All,
I have a PS4 controller that I've been using between my Nexus 6 and Shield tablet using the Sixaxis Controller app. When my N6 got Marshmallow, Sixaxis stopped working and instead showed these errors when starting up
Code:
Could not load bluetooth library...
Error: Failed to configure bluetooth...
Could not load HCI library...
Some posts online said it might be because the app needed to request new permissions for api 23. I've tried decompiling, adding the permission, and recompiling with APK Studio. I also installed it as a system app. No change, still broken.
With no word from the Sixaxis dev months after 6.0's release, my question is: what would it take to write a Marshmallow-compatible Sixaxis alternative? I have some experience writing apps, but haven't touched JNI/NDK. Also, I've been doing some research on the history of Bluez vs. Bluedroid and it looks like there aren't really any equivalents to hcitool and hcidump for Bluedroid.
To clarify, the goal is only to get the controller to connect to the system. I'm not interested in the touch mapping, mouse emulation, or other extra features.
I'm interested in it too, don't know why no one ever replied. We can try to make an open sourced app.
Is there any document about the protocol used by PS3 controller? Seems like PS3 controller use some incompatible bluetooth protocol, I used Sixaxis app before, when I connected PS3 controller using BT, all other BT devices were dropped.
I am also getting this issue. No responses?
I have the same problem. any solution?
Yes please,not that I can help,but it'd be greatly appreciated.
Bump
Still nothing? It wouldn't be as bad but the native DS4 pairing mode sucks so bad on Android (Massive input delay after 30 seconds)
EDIT: Their website 404's... http://dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html
they are alredy working on it http://dancingpixelstudios.com/2016/02/05/migration-to-wordpress/
Love this app. I'm glad he still rocking. Google should just buy him out and implement this into their future OS... Give this man a job!
I am also having the same problem on HTC one m8 with gpe 6.0 rom.
Any news?
So far I have seen no update, but on his site he says he is working on it.
looks like there is no update for this
Is there any alternative available for this?
It' been months and still no update. Does someone know any alternative solution or app?
