I know sense and touchwiz (htc/samsung) phones dont support the proper bluetooth profiles for controllers like ps3 or the wiimote, but i believe we should band together and do a bounty for someone to develop such a method (kernel?) that allows for them to connect.
currently im on cognition beta 4 for galaxys2 att, so if i can stay on cognition and be able to connect to ps3 or wiimote id be forever happy!
Works on cm7

Sure does. Personally used and loved it. (Before I bought a dual shock 3)
It works because CM7 , being an AOSP ROM, actually uses a standard BT stack. (Come on Samsung!)
With that said, I'd be in extreme favor of any Dev who could mod Samsungs BT stack to work with the Wiimote.

Ohhh yeah it does, I remember reading that. The only problem is you cant use MHL Tv out which is pretty much the whole reason I would want Wiimote support, haha. I did hear though that ICS's Bluetooth stack is modified to work with the Wiimotes, so once that rolls out, we could have both. but. only time can tell :\

Doesn't work over here for me..
I just ran across a thread in the i9100 forums that said it now works on stock CM9 but I can't get it to go.
Even if I manually enter the address of my Wiimote in Wiimote Controller, instead of the BT PIN code screen popping right up, now I get a notification in the notification bar that I have a pairing request. Clicking the notification just brings up the PIN code entry screen.
I guess both the Wiimote and MHL are working for the i9100 with CM9 and the Samsung stock ICS but doesn't work for me on the i777.. I haven't tried the latest ATT ICS leak but I may give in and try it tonight after work..
i777 CM9-based kernels cannot pair with a Wiimote yet due to unavailable kernel sources. Also, the leaked official ICS firmware can.

I gave the latest ATT leak a try (im on it now actually) and its still the same. WiimoteController is still asking for a PIN to pair with the controller.

I can't remember which leak I was using... I thought it was LD3. It was right before it was announced that they were responsible for hard bricking, I think. I know it was before Task removed them from the post he put them in.

Has anyone tested a wii mote with the new official 2.2 update? I heard that samsung might fix the Bluetooth issues people are having with backwards compatibility with Bluetooth 1.x. if they did it could hopefully let us use a wii mote as a controller for playing emulators finally. I'm sick of being jealous of friends with the droid and iphone 3gs that are able to.

Thanks for trying for us all man. I would pay for a fix/app as well. Have been searching long and hard for anything short of trying a buggy/unfinished build of cyanogenmod. I think that's our best hope once it's got a stable build.
I know the wii remote works, looking for something with more buttons for psx and n64 emulating. Used the search button for hours, and heard people getting it to work, but no cold hard evidence.
I am willing to shell out some cash on this one for once. Either that or i'll be investing in a PSP for portable emulation.
Pretty sure ps3 controller isn't possible yet. But if you're looking for more buttons, just use the classic wii controller. Or the pro version or whatever. Not the most portable option. But definitely gives you more buttons.

Definitely not true. The fascinate doesn't have any sense roms. What is required is HID support. Which for the fascinate, only miui and maybe aosp and cm7 alpha. I have only tested on miui. But I know no current SC or darkrevenge can use it.

Yeah there was a thread about this a while ago. Only aosp based roms have HID support. So basically we have to wait for source if u want to use one of those roms and have everything working.

why cant such support be ported to a tw rom? cant things like this be just a issue of transferring drivers.. i know its prob more difficult than that, but i just want to understand it better.
HID bluetooth profile for fascinate???
So I just happened to have a similar issue. I really wouldn't have opened the wound but this was last hit on about 8 months ago. Now my fascinate has the gingerbread update... the 2.3.5 update if you will. As anticipation has failed us, they did , again, fail to include a bluetooth profile that supports HID devices.
I have read about CM's mod cm7.1 supporting this profile, but my situation is a little bit more unique.
I just purchased the Brookstone roll up keyboard (bluetooth) and can recognize it but obviously won't pair or connect. I have tried a number of apps that claim to give you smoother function and better bluetooth support, but as with any good app, Google has stripped it of it's gems.
as mentioned I have only read briefly that cm7.1 is a rom able to make this happen.
My question now is, after 8 months, has anyone found a solution to the HID bluetooth profile issue, and if it requires rooting, how do you do this ... using ubuntu...
... be gentle (I just watched the noob video)
Sch-1500 2.3.5 Stock I need this for portability
When the SGP came out i was so excited to buy, and when i bought it, i tried to plug it in to my tv via mhl and to use ps3 controller on it...but it didin't work, so a grabed the nokia rca cable, didin't work either. I got mad at my brother because he is the one that told me to buy the SGP and he said that it does have tv out suport and usb host, but it dosen't. Anyways i have moved on and bought the Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 plus, and it satisfy me all my needs such as playing games on tv, use usb controllers,mice,keyboard,flash drives etc.
Sorry about my horrable english and please don't laugh if something is written wrong. Thanks

Well, maybe that's a lesson to do a little of your own research before you go buy a expensive electronic device! Seriously though, it is too bad that there is no TV out, USB host I can live without. Btw, you can still use a ps3 remote, Google 'sixaxis controller Android'. All you need is a PC with Bluetooth to pair it, I beleive. I haven't actually used it as I don't have a ps3, but I, think other people with sgp have.

In my eyes, Samsung's deception is not even attempting an ICS update for a $200-$300 device that came out only months ago...
Then again, I'd rather use a community-developed ROM anyhow. In all my experience they run faster and more stable.

You are absolutely right! This has put me off any other Samsung device.
In my case, I was wondering about buy an iPod Touch or an other device then I decided to buy the SG S Wifi 5, 3 days ago I have no complaints it is a nice gadget.
It's sad that it will not get the ICS update because it is a great device , but as far I know it is not official (I'm not really sure). But you always find developers to build an ICS rom.

I'd rather have CM9 than ICS anyway. Who needs TV out most of the time either? It'd be a cool feature, but I wouldn't expect a device like this to have it.

Hi guys
I bought a tv out cable over ebay recently tho it hasnt arrived yet.. i just wanna know if anyone has used a rom that they can confirm works with tv out. Cm7 would be preferred. Im aware there is a kang of cm7.2 with tv out working but the link and thread are dead so if anyone can post it, ill love you forever.
On a side note, does anyone know for a fact that my wiimote will not work with n64 on cm7 or the vibrant?
Thanks in advance guys

Go to download.cyanogenmod.com

Then scroll down until you see CM7 or CM9

While in CM9 works with any kernel!

As long as you are using a non-Samsung ROM/kernel, the wiimote should pair just fine. You will have to download an IME app for it from the market though. I can't remember what the app was that I used. Search for wiimote and that should get you what you need.
I had it running back in the days when GB roms on the vibrant were being released here. Made playing Mario 64 a lot easier than with the on screen virtual buttons

Last I checked it lacks Hardware acceleration though so beware. If you are to try to play any video that is 480p or higher it probably won't play.
For example if you try to show the videos you just took with your phone in the big screen (like I had tried) it won't work, so you can say it's a bit crippled version of TV-out. If you want true TV-out you have to try Froyo derived roms ... sadly.

Sorry I was referring to the video capabilities of Tv out, didn't try gaming though...
Also the quality does not seem to be as good/clear as in Froyo days'...
I want to use bluetooth controllers for gaming (Ps3 & wiimote), as well as using using a Bluetooth enabled dumbphone with the GP5. I am going to root my device, but I don't know if I want to install custom roms. Is there a simple fix for the Bluetooth protocols?
No one is going to respond or reply. A lot of unhelpful people round here. Trust me I have asked for help a few time and only once has some one gave me a hand.

Alright well on all Galaxy devices pre-ICS how do you fix the BT protocols? I know on my GF's Epic 4G S2 Bluetooth was fixed with ICS but since the 5.0 and other players (all of them currently on the market?) won't get an official update and custom ICS roms mess up the camera it seems like a no win situation. Maybe I should just save more money and get a Galaxy Nexus.
maybe this is your solution ->http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rUB-S7BwMH4
As far as I know, all you have to do is flash a custom gingerbread rom
