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.
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.
I am working on a mediacenter Rom and I am looking for suggestions for remote control apps for android to control the Q anyone have any good suggestions on controlling the Nexus Q over bluetooth or wifi. This is my only hiccup for this rom.
How far have you got with the ROM yet?
right now i use Bluetooth mouse/keyboard combined with adb over wifi, do you need more control than this?
I've tried a VNC approach but it was a bit strange doing everything from a browser window, but using VNC I used the VMLite_VNC_Server_1_0_4.apk install on Nexus Q
i use ADB and a BT mouse myself at the moment to navigate through the Q. did you manage to add a different launcher on startup?
BT Keyboard?
The tutorials on this board for getting BT Mouse work fine for me. I can't get BT Keyboard working though. If anyone has had success with that let me know!

Also I've compiled the kernel to support NFS and CIFS. Recommend adding that to your ROM.
Plex has worked best for me in terms of a consistent playback. This requires Plex media server to be run somewhere else. As its transcoded you can tune the bitrate for consistent playback. I've tried a variety of other players accessing the media via NFS, however none of them can handle full bitrate MKV. Probably it just exceeds the capability of the device.
Romz
My goal is to have a rom others can flash pretty easily and use an existing android device to navigate on the Q.
I'm honestly just figuring out what basic things to throw on the Q for now I might just put a way to flash gapps, but install xbmc.
Heres the process right now that im stuck with now:
-Nandroid restore using the same method I posted for restoring.
(I've been researching the possibility to have a script push and restore the the rom)
-use OTG USB with keyboard and mouse to pair with device
(I've used tablet remote from the play store but the only issue is that the text input does NOT work so searching for things on the store sucks)
But since most people got them at IO the current owners should be pretty confident with adb.

How is the play store working on your ROM? able to download/update?
Are you using OTG USB with a hardware adapted or software? (just wondering)
Why do you need to Nandroid Restore the ROM as opposed to making a flashable zip and installing it over CWM?

1. Haven't tried/ im messing with the build.prop
2. Im using an OTG cable with a USB Hub w/ a keyboard and mouse
3. CWM is a mess right now the text is super tiny on a 1080p tv and I can't get a hold of the dev on rootzwiki to get the source from him so I fix the screen resolution.

Cool
What's ur progress on the ROM so far? What source are you building it from?
Would it be easier to get the Q working using CM and then just add the xbmc app to act as a media centre? Would probably be less dedicated by could utilize the Q's full potential.
Just my 2 cents.
By the way, please don't get me wrong. I fully appreciate your work!

I think the perfect remote software AND the perfect launcher just don't quite exist yet.
One suggestion though... you can probably get the tablet remote to work properly if you tweak the key layout in your rom as I've described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892359
You could remap each of the letters to whatever key input is being sent by tablet remote.
Keep us updated on your progress!

I agree better to have a full CM ROM on here than just an app as the front, but I think he is making a a full ROM, but not sure..

I don't see why some off you are having problems controling the Q I only used adb once to root and navigate to get my stuff ready. Has far has a controller this is the best mouse keyboard combo I found small portable controll type http://www.ipazzport.com/16A.html is a full keyboard plus it already has the android buttons on it. there is a tutorial here how to redirect the home button to call that way goes to launcher instead of the screen saver thing(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892359). Use nova luncher it wont work with trebuchet from CM9. I have a otg cable with usb hub currently with controller, ps3 controller(yes it works fine with usb cable to play deadtriger) 16gb usb with movies(use stick mount). I apreciate the effort of getting xbmc but I also think a full android rom is better
ohh I forgot use droidmote server is far better than tabletremote
Can't wait see what you come up with OP!

Is there a driver needing to installed for the ipazzport keyboard?
Also could you theoretically attach at 1 TB hard drive over usb OTG, with stick mount?
This of any use?

Loved your work on the Photon back when I had it. Really happy to see that you're working on the Q.

No I don't think you could do that since we don't have a custom kernel, usb mount is built in in android, maybe if you format it fat 32 it could work, good luck. I tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=en but it won't work.
For keyboard you don't need drivers android reads those input by default even with put root.
fiveipads,
If you are still active on this, I suggest we pool resources. If the deal goes through, I'll also have a Gnex to help aid in development in about a week.
OR
Please , please , pretty please still be deving on the Q. It's lonely in Q land and its driving me crazy. :silly:

I know how to build from source pretty well. But without sources for the Q I'm not sure how to get starte. If you take a glance at threads I have started you can see all of my work. PM me if you'd like. I would like to get in on this.
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

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

Unfortunately, I dont remember
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):

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?
