ive noticed that the evo 3d supports HID when i connected my bluetooth keyboard and mouse to my phone last night.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can confirm if a bluetooth gamepad, such as the MSI BGP100 will work on the Evo 3D.
Also, does anyone know of a bluetooth controller that has the same type of buttons as a playstation 1 controller that also works with the Evo 3D?
it does support HID!? YES!!! I was holding off checking because I didn't want it to sour the whole experience!!! HAHA YES!

Which bluetooth keyboard did you connect? I'm looking for one that works.
I have got Logitech MX5000 Bluetooth keyboard and mouse connects and works fine

I can confirm that the Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard works - it's a folding keyboard that you can fit in a big pocket. Also - I used the HID option on the Freedom keyboard and connected absolutely painlessly. I was also able to connect a ThinkOutside bluetooth mouse without needing any drivers.
I also own the MSI BGP100 gamepad. I can get the Evo 3D to see it as a "GAMEPAD" and I can pair them, but can't get it to "connect". No matter what I do - I see "Paired but not Connected".
If anyone has any ideas or drivers I could try - I'd be happy to report back.
Edit: I just downloaded the "bluez" gamepad driver from the market - and I'll report back on it later tonight when I get home from work.
I can now confirm that the MSI bluetooth gamepad works a treat with the bluez IME drivers you can download off of the market for free. The drivers will work for the most common bluetooth gamepads available for phones it seems.
The process is not so clear. First you pair as I stated above, just using the regular phone's bluetooth settings. Using the touchscreen keyboard, I typed 0000 to connect to my MSI gamepad.
After that, I opened up "settings" "Language and Keyboard, enabled bluez ime. Then I went into bluez IME settings on the same page. I activated bluetooth. Selected the "gamepad" I had most recently paired to. I selected the proper device driver ie "MSI Chainpus BGP 100". I selected IME, specifically ticking on the Bluez IME keyboard. This disables the touchscreen keyboard by the way. Then I configured keymapping for each of the gamepad's buttons - matching them to a standard keyboard.
After that, I went into the emulator (in this case GENSOID) - went into settings, other settings and enabled "use input method". Finaly I went into "Input Settings" and changed the key mappings for each of the emulator's buttons. At this point, the inputs should be responding to the bluetooth device's keypresses - that's how you know you've succeeded.
So far - I'm very impressed. I'd only used this bluetooth gamepad with my HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile 6.1). With these drivers I notice next to no lag. I played about a half hour and got no disconnections either - the signal seems strong - unlike my experience with the Touch Pro back in the day. I haven't played extensively - but it did get me through two levels of "Altered Beast" and one level of "Golden Axe".

try the phonejoy gamepad
http://www.phonejoy.net/index.html
Sweet im getting one ASAP.
If it supports HID, which it sounds like it does then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks!
Has someone tested the Wiimote with the 3D. I have one laying around somewhere and I'd rather not buy a new controller if I don't have to.
I could not get wiimote to work. I read somewhere it has something to do with the new bluetooth 3.0 not being compatible or something. In any even it would not work for me.
It's not BT 3.0, its HTC's non-stock BT stack that is the problem.
Wiimote doesnt work, however I.done remember where but someone was saying that other bluetooth gamepads have worked on the e3d!! Ill try to look and see if I can find it again

The one in my video on the first page of this thread will work with the Evo 3D, as will the iControlPad and Zeemote (Zeemote doesn't have enough buttons to be particularly useful however).
I have done some research and found that the only Bluetooth controller that works with the Evo 3d is the Gamestop wireless Bluetooth gamepad for tablets. I have been trying to get a hold of one but they're always in short supply or the only way you can get one is to buy a tablet and they give you a free gamepad with your purchase.

The Wiimote definitely works, but only on an AOSP gingerbread rom, like CM7. I have a backup of cm7 and everytime I want to play a game with a gamepad, I switch to that rom and connect. Works everytime. Been doing this since I had the OG evo.
Also, using a Sony Dualshock controller, the one that Sony makes, not a knock off, and using the app sixaxispairtool works flawlessly on an AOSP rom. I used to use the wiimote and the classic controller but it was just too much. Two controllers and a wire (wii) compared to just a wireless ps3 controller, the ps3 way is just easier.

BT KeyBoard as Game Controller?
I have a GearHead KT-1282 BT Keyboard... On the 3vo running ICS Stock-Rooted, it Pairs & Connects fine, as does my Logitech RCQ142 BT Mouse. I've been trying to get the BT KB to function as a Game Controller while I play Mass Effect: Infiltrator... I Need HELP...
I've gotten BluezIME, Game Keyboard, & Sixaxis Controller from the play store, and have been screwin with the configurations of each of these for a while...
Using Game Keyboard as default IME, I've gotten the KB Keys mapped to certain GamePad buttons, enabled "Perform touchscreen action with physical key", etc... and that, nor any other attempt has yielded any results within the game...
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance...
I've been trying to find some of the best apps for adding a PS3 controller via bluetooth for my N64oid app. I've found some great mappings on here, but I'm curious if there's any way I can enable more than one controller using this combination of the two apps.
I heard N64oid supports multiplayer with no problem, but SixAxis I'm just not sure about. Has anyone heard anything or tried it out?
I have not tried it, but from looking at the two apps, it should be very easy.
In sixaxis, go to Menu > Preferences > Input Mappings > and select 2nd or high controller. Then map keyboard values to the controller (be sure to not use buttons that are taken for another controller). Lastly, go into the N64oid settings and map the second controller.
Let me know how it works!

Hey, thanks for the support, I tried this but when I do both my PS3 controllers (connected via wires) have the same input buttons as far as N64oid is concerned...Like up on controller one is the same as up on controller two... Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'd also like to know if the transformer will actually charge the controllers and connect via bluetooth, so far I've only used wired.
Thanks!

Are you using the sixaxis app and having this problem, or is this just using the native usb gamepad support? If it's the latter, than I don't have an answer; I don't even know if the native support allows multiple controllers. If you are using the sixaxis app, then be sure that the key mappings within that program are seperate, before you try and map within N64oid (basically have to map things twice, first the controller to keyboard values (within sixaxis), then those values to N64 keys (within N64oid)).
Don't know about charging over usb, I want to say yes, but I can't back that up. As for bluetooth, you can do it (it is what I do), but it requires an app like sixaxis (which requires root).
It works. All you have to do is get the Sixaxis Pair tool (make sure you have a computer nearby and a usb cable) and then when you open n64oid, to to input>key mappings> enable controller 1 + 2 and then set the appropriate controls. If this doesn't work, go to other settings>and check use input method
EDIT: Make sure it's compatible using the compatibility checker

Couldn't get this to work for me. Got both controllers connected but could not not get them to differentiate between the two. everything controls player 1
kinda solution
i have kinda got this working now, was able to successfully play 2 player mario cart today.
in sixaxis here is what i did....
once you have both controllers paired to the phone and change IME is set to sixaxis.
go to preferences
go to game pad settings
make sure enable gamepad is NOT CHECKED
go to edit mappings and make sure everything is as its supposed to be up is up, left is left, right is right, etc etc.
now open n64oid
go to settings
go to input settings
go to key mappings
enable controller 1
load profile 1
clear all the settings so everything says "none"
leave d-pad left, right, up, down as <none> (for some reason i havent figured out yet, if you set these it stops the other controller working). then do the following
c-left, right, up and down are also mapped as <none> (i dont know what these do either)
then map the following buttons of controller 1
start
button A
button B
L trigger
R trigger
Z trigger
(map those buttons to whatever buttons you want)
analog left, analog right, analog up, analog down, (map these to the analog directions on the left analog stick of controller 1)
leave the rest as <none>
scroll back up to the top as save it as profile 1
now
enable controller 2
load profile 2
clear all the settings so everything says "none"
leave d-pad left, right, up, down as <none> (for some reason i havent figured out yet, if you set these it stops the other controller working). then do the following
c-left, right, up and down are also mapped as <none> (i dont know what these do either)
then map the following buttons of controller 2
start
button A
button B
L trigger
R trigger
Z trigger
(map those buttons to whatever buttons you want)
analog left, analog right, analog up, analog down, (map these to the analog directions on the left analog stick of controller 2)
leave the rest as <none>
scroll back up to the top as save it as profile 2
--------now it should work hopefully for both players to have an effective race------
one thing i found weird is when mapping the analog stick of controller 1 it saved all the directions for both analog sticks and the joypad directions as d-pad left, right, up, down regardless of which one you used to map the key
but for controller 2 it saved the directions as unknown 17, unknown 18 for analog left and righ on both analog sticks
analog up =A analog down =B again for both analog sticks
on the joypad it was up =C down =D
left = A
right = B
i'm hoping someone can take this information and refine it a bit to make more sense but maybe this will help some people troubleshoot a bit further. I'd love to figure out how to get this working for 4 controllers but having seen how it is above im not sure if it will be possible. Also to get it working for golden eye might also be tricky.
thanks and good night.
hello i have a similar question. If i put one ps3 gamepad with sixaxis controller could i use at the same time a bluetooth gamepad in order to play multiplayer games?
Because i am not right now on my android tv box i can not recall if i get sixaxis controller i could use to pair at the same with bluetooth gamepad. I will try though later so i could give a feedback, if anybody cares.
Hello!
I recently bought a playstation 3 controller to use with my PC and emulators on my Tablet. I discovered that without root i wasn't able to fully utilize the controller on my tablet.
I got to work and rooted my tablet, bought sixaxis controller and set it up. I am now able to connect with the app and bind keys in the emulator with the app. However when i exit the key-binding menu and begin to play a game the emulator suddenly doesn't recognize any of my button presses made with the app.
I made a touch profile so that i could play but i really want to be able to play without this touch profile.
I've googled with no results for days and i now ask you, what do you think is wrong? And how can i fix it?
Which emulators are you using this with? With some of them you have to set up the bindings in the emulator app.
If you bought a cheap ps3 controller on ebay it will not work. If you buy a legit PS3 controller it will work. Common problem, aftermarket controllers have a slightly different bluetooth profile that its kind of goofy...
If you have a legit controller then it must be other settings!
Lets start from the beginning.
FIRST TIME! If its your first time pairing the controller to the tablet you need to get a USB cable and plug it into the dock.
Start up the app
press the "pair controller" button. This tells the controller which address to connect to. If you dont do this then the controller is looking for a PS3 which your tablet obviously is not.
If it is NOT your first time, or you have used the PC utility to manually change the bluetooth address on the controller
Start up the app
Press Start
Turn on the controller
Remember, you must change the IME (input) from whatever keyboard you have to sixaxis.
Once you see the message in the window say you are paired press the up down left right buttons on the ps3 controller, you SHOULD see things happen on the screen. If not you did something wrong.
If you want to use touch profiles select it from the box
If the above does not work check with the PC utility that your controller is trying to pair to the correct bluetooth address. Note sometimes the sequence is reversed - 12:23:34:45:56:67 can sometimes be 67:56:45:34:32:12. Different applications on the PC work differently.
Make sure you are using the latest LEGIT copy. If you are pirating this software it likely wont work. Check on the market you are updated to the latest version.
If all else fails, contact the developer or check the developers website. I know it works with the prime im running it on mine, works great!
Good luck!
EDIT
Re-reading OP i'd say it sounds like you forgot to change the IME. Maybe check that first

It's a real controller and i did change the IME.
I am primarily using the N64 emulator. When i map the keys without sexaxis controller installed most of the keys are named <unknow>. When i start sixaxis controller i get "DPAD_START" or something similar when i map the keys. (after enabeling the IME).
So the connecting and mapping goes perfect. But somehow when i exit the settings and start to play it wont detect the keys anymore.
It's quite late now, i will test everything again tomorrow to make sure the problem is still there. But i truly don't know what to do.
I don't know about the emulator you're using, but in NESoid, and SNESoid etc to use sixaxis with it, theres an option in menu>settings>Other settings>"Use Input Method" Enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad - This needs checked for the controller to work see if this is enabled on yours

THANK YOU!
In "other settings" i just had to click that. ****ing awesome m8 Thanks
No prob man I figured thats what it might be frustrated the hell out of me too

Ya its kind of annoying because with sixaxis you can have it set for controller input, emulate keyboard, or sort of a hybrid (like the experia play does with its keys), different apps deal with these things differently, its just a matter of finding a method that works best for the app your using.
Glad to hear you got it working!
Thank you
I only rooted to use the controller, I was getting frustrated

In this thread from forever ago, sanders858 got his Wii remote to work, but I'm not getting favorable results when I try the same.
I thought the issue with connecting a Wiimote to the Rezound (or any HTC phone) was due to the BT stack in Sense ROMs. I'm currently running tachyon and there's a shot of my about screen below. it's rooted, unlocked, and s-on if any of that matters.
After enabling Bluez IME as an input method and selecting it as the IME, it automatically enables BT and it will find my official Wii controller when scanning for devices. When attempting to connect with the Wiimote (HID) device driver selected, it returns "Error: bt socket connect failed" and gives up. For giggles, I've tried other device drivers to no avail and usually forces closed.
If anyone has some insight on how to get this working or can verify a 4.2+ ROM that supports the Wiimote, I'd be muchly grateful. Thanks

i was only ever able to get any bluetooth gamepad to work with cm9 rom...has to be straight cm9
Ever tried sixaxis pair? I used it on my old phone to hook up a PS3 remote to my phone when I ran emulators, and it worked great. Only bad thing is it is a paid app, and requires a program on your computer for a one time Bluetooth mapping.
Edit: Guess you could also try Wiimote Controller from the Play Store, but you have to be under 4.2 to use it.

Hello so basically while using a Bluetooth mouse on android (not using the phone as a mouse) but connecting a Bluetooth mouse to my phone, it does not register "clicks" well it does but it doesn't basically it will work selecting apps and everything but once in a app the "click" no longer registers.
I've turned on "show touches" and when I click I notice that a "click" isn't there at all although when enabling "pointer location" from developer options when clicking it responds so it knows the mouses exact location ect but does not physically "click/touch"
My question is can anybody help solve this?? Would be really thankful.
Also if you ask why I need a mouse pointer on my phone I don't but what I want it for is my TV, I have a new Sony 4K TV with android as its software, and I have gotten some apps on it I would like to use and they boot up fine issue is after connecting mouse to TV I cannot select anything once inside an app, I've been using my phone to try and figure it out as once I've done it on here can simply recreate that on my TV as is the same platform. Anyway any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards, Bradley.
