Wii remote on custom rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have been looking to use a wii remote on my g s2. I know you can use cyanogen mod or miui rooms to do this, but I prefer using checkrom to be honest.
I was hoping someone might have an idea or be able get the wii remote working on a custom from other than cm or miui
Any help appreciated
Cheers

Wii Remote Galaxy S2
Ok I have the sprint version of the S2 the Epic 4g touch and I was able to get a wii mote to sync with it for my super nintendo emulator and Roms. It's pretty fantastic and much more enjoyable than playing with a ps3 controller... At least I like it more. I am running the Calkuins.E4GT.ROM.v2.9.2 with kernel: 2.6.35.7-sph-D710.EL29-CL852097
I accidentally found out you can do this but with the snes9x ex emulator for droid and the sixaxis app installed the "search for wiimote" in the emulator will work. Before I had the sixaxis app installed it would say my device wasn't supported and from everything I've read it was because of the samsung bluetooth stacks. I'm guessing that the app fixes the stacks or finds a backdoor for it to work.

[Q] Is there any kernel that allows the wii controller to connect yet?

I loved using my wii controller to play games, controll grooveshark and remote controll my camera on my htc hd2. But can we do it on the S2? Cognition rom so far does not work with my controller. Does anyone know of a rom that does?

Im hoping for this aswell. The Wii controller or the PS3 controller, mainly to controll some emulators.
Now that it has been a month after this post, has there been any progress on this issue? I would really love to use my Wiimote with the G SII.
I saw a thread just before about a guy on Miui with a wiimote.

is this the same protocol thats required for the ps3 controller? if it is does anyone know if its now possible to do this on a SGSII??
I guess it will work with any cm7 based mod, as cm7 bluetooth stack is compatible with the wii/ps3 controllers, is that right?
Yes CM7 should work fine.

Emulator (FPSE and N64) discussion.

Hey everyone. Since we got bluetooth working on AOSP roms we can finally use our bluetooth controllers to play games.
So since we are past that step I'd like to start a thread on compatibility.
N64 Runs great. FPSE I can't seem to get running on an AOSP rom.
Anyone else have any success stories to share?
wait whhaaatt....
using bluetooth... to control nintendo roms on your phone... that is brilliant! your rom has to support bluetooth, obviously, and you need a controller that connects to bluetooth devices.
how did you get this to work?? that is one thing i miss a lot from my old phone is all the SNES, gameboy, sega game emulation.
Aosp roms have the correct bluetooth stacks. I use a Wiimote with a classic controller Attached. You can also just use a ps3 controller.

I actually can't get FPse to play anything on AOSP
awesomeness!

Bluetooth Wiimote connectivity

After a bit of internet browsing I discovered that it it possible to connect a nintendo Wii mote to Android devices. Which allows for easy gameplay.
After a few minutes of app installing I discovered that the entire Samsung Galaxy series is unable to use this app for whatever reason. Apparently due to the 'Sense UI' or so this article tells me;
http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller
But in the article it mentions the only way I could connect my Wii mote to my phone is by "rooting/flashing a compatible custom firmware".
So my question is, does anyone know of a ROM upon which such things are compatible? Thanks guys!

The page actually says for Samsung devices, it's NOT because of Sense (since Sense is an HTC skin for Android)... But that's neither here nor there.
The reason it doesn't work for WiiMote is because of how Samsung utilizes the bluetooth stack. You have to flash an AOSP ROM (like CM7 or MIUI) to get WiiMote to work. The downside of this, is that as far as I know, these ROMs don't currently support TV-Out via MHL. So you can't hook it up to your TV if you wanted to whilst using the controller.
HOWEVER - the SixAxis controller app, which connects to a ps3 controller (but ONLY an original Sony ps3 controller) DOES work with the stock ROM on the Galaxy S2. I have it, and it works. With this setup, I can use a controller with my emulators and hook the phone up to my TV to play games if I wanted to.
does this appel work great on s2
If yes . With wath games?

Why not just user a ps2 sixaxis joypad? I'm not sure the wii works yet, at least, the best i know

You meant ps3, right? I don't know of a ps2 sixaxis controller. I don't think one exists.

See here. That guy had some luck, but I can't personally vouch for any of his information since personally I use SixAxis with my ps3 controller.

Hi
I'm the "lucky guy" here ;p
I can confirm that I play with my wiimotes on my SGS2 . But all Roms does not work with wiimotes:
Ginberbread roms made by Samsung (= stock Rom) => wiimote sync doesn't work
Gingerbread Roms made by Miui (= Custom Rom) => Wiimote sync works (but the"MHL cable" [to play with your GS2 on your HD TV] does not work).
ICS Roms made by samsung => Wiimote sync doesn't work (because it asks for a pairing code) but MHL works
ICS Roms made by MIUI (or Cyanogen 9) => Wiimote sync doesn't work (it asks for a pairing code too) + MHL does not works
But... ICS Leaked Roms by samsung => Wiimote sync works and MHL works (so you can play N64 emulator on your TV ).
If you don't trust me, or if you don't understand me (bad english :s), you can PM me if you want
PS: For explanations on "MHL" : see here

[Q] Bluetooth connect with PS3 Controller

I am not finding any possible way to connect a PS3 controller with my Rezound due to the bluetooth packet build of the stock ICS. I just recently rooted. I see everywhere other devices that are able to pair with the controller. Any thoughts or evidence that this will work on the Rezound with custom roms? Using Amon ra recovery. Before I flash any roms, this is a big feature that I am looking for as I do a lot of gaming. Thanks for any direction.
I just saw a thread about this last week I think. Something about an app called sixaxis or something like that.
Pretty sure if you search "controller" in this forum you'll find it.

The Sixaxis app will not work with the Rezound. The Rezound does not support otg as it does not have usb host control support. It will not recognize any usb device. I read it's mainly due to Sense. Has to be a custom rom I guess that the builder enabled this option. Possibility of AOSP roms might work, not sure.

Blueputdroid enables you to control your ps3, and pc, etc with your phone. I want to play games on my phone with a ps3 controller since I have one already. I don't want to go buy a special controller just to use on my phone.

Install cm10.1 JB and it will enable you to use six axis controller.
