I currently have a Droid X and I plan to upgrade to a Rezound this June. Anyway, one of the things I love most about my X is syncing my Wii remote to my phone and using it with my video game emulators. I've heard however that the wii remote isn't compatible with Sense. Has anyone figured out a way to make it work on the Rezound yet?

Sense removes a lot of protocols for bluetooth functionality. It is deep in sense and to re-enable it requires a custom kernel and custom bluetooth stack, which basically means no one bothers. The hardware can use it no problem, but the software does not. Once we have AOSP, Wii remote functionality will work natively. At this current time, we do not have any options for Wii Remote on rezound.
What about this? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/htc-rezound-aosp-ice-cream-sandwich-rom/
It appears to be an AOSP "senseless" ICS rom. If I flash this would I have my wii remote capabilities again?

You would have no wifi or data.....
Why would I have no wifi or data?

you would have wifi and data for senseless rom's
However i don't think senseless would provide what your looking for.
You will need a true native asop rom and kernel, people are working on these but it will take time.

nope, but knock yourself out trying. That is based on the leaked ICS RUU which is sense based. Real AOSP roms are not sense based. That one will have the same bluetooth stack as the stock rom.
Until someone gets RIL working on AOSP, the rezound will not control a wii remote.

Will this work with the thunderbolt? The description says not for sense phones. But Im curious if maybe things have changed it sense 2 to affect this. Or would a Senseless ROM work?
I think it would be great to use the Kickstand to prop up the phone and play GBA games or something.
Reviews show that a thunderbolt user reported it didn't work on the sense rom. Like you said you already knew that.

the bluetooth stack htc uses in incompatible with any the wiimote. gonna have to wait for either cm7 or possibly the official htc gingerbread version.
any news on this? with the gb leak out and all
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.

What rom(s) does the wiimote work with? Havent done much with gaming on the phone but I thought I read it didnt work.... (happy to know that isnt true)
It works on miui for sure. And quite possibly jts aosp

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.

Damn so my options are either have a phone with some sweet retro gaming, or have working mms and camcorder? Situations like these are why I keep telling my wife I need two phones...

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
Can a dev get this to work on our phones?

need aosp, sense is no go
Has something to do with the lack of a certain Bluetooth Protocol. It's included in AOSP and you'lll be able to get it once something like CM7 comes out, but for now the EVO 3d fails the compatibility check test.
I am also waiting for an aosp rom

It's probably in the works. Cooking Roms is one thing, adding functionality into devices that didn't have that functionality before is an entirely different beast. It takes time, effort, and skill.
Almost 100% sure we'll see some CM7 and then everyone will be happy.
Is anyone else not able to download? I tried the market app, and the web market. Is it because it isn't compatible?

Requires certain Bluetooth protocol that HTC Sense based phones do not have. As soon as Cyanogen or another true AOSP ron comes out it should work.
Also. Might want to remain your thread with a question mark. I came into thinking maybe someone had solved it. Lol.

Because i have a spare ps3 control that I don't use.
Still can't find any roms without sense for gsm EVO 3d, thinking might struggle due to only software/ROM that camera works with is sense. Got n64 emulator app working well but so needs sixaxis working.
Noob here. Just making sure that there still isn't a ROM that allows a bluetooth controller (Wii or PS3)?

I've never used it myself, but I believe CM roms have a great Bluetooth stack and should be compatible. Maybe someone else that has more experience with CM roms can chime in.
Yes, cm roms will be able to use it. However cm roms are still being developed and are not currently capable of Bluetooth.
EVO 3D ROMS and SixAxis
All of the EVO 3D ROMS I have seen are just modified versions of stock so they have the Sense bluetooth stack limitations. Synergy, Steel, Cleanrom, ect. None of the ROMS built from the AOSP are complete yet [like Cyanogen] but once one of those is done, we should be able to pair our PS3 controllers to our phones and play our games.
Other than battery life, getting the SIXAXIS app working is what made me stay on CM7. Btw, I'm on the og Evo and I'm not here to troll. I take it that you'll be using FPSE vs. PSX4Droid as your playstation emulator? PM me if any of you guys want the apk. I also have the BIOS.BIN file, but this emulator doesn't really need it. It's way better IMO. My phone may be considered old, but being able to play using the controller still turns heads.
Funny. I got my X10i working on the sixasis. The Evo 3D have more advance bluetooth which is 3.0. I got try to get it work on the Evo 3D.

SENSE 1.x, 2.x and 3.x currently doesn't support the HID profile that certain devices require. I heard someone is trying to get this to work. If that's the case, I will switch back to a Sense ROM.
so by the way, which aosp rom currently works with the sixaxis controller app...if any.. because i do see all aosp roms having bluetooth boorked ...isnt that what is needed for the app to work?

There is currently no Roms that have the correct working bluetooth, however I would keep an eye on Miui since they have a few things not working now with their Alpha 3 update. Maybe even CM might drop some BT goodness soon .
Cyanogenmod 7 vAlpha 3 currently has working BlueTooth so pull out your Sixaxis or WiiMote and get your mobile gaming on.

I'm trialing a beta version of the compatibility checker app that should support more devices. I'd love some of you to try it and give me some feedback:

too true i got the Evo for the dual core processor and 1GB of ram to game on and turns out nearly all roms are sense based FS! i have just downloaded this AOKP rom, looks promising will flash it later and post results
EDIT: Or there's this
From what I can tell, the Rezound on gingerbread doesn't support the Bluetooth HID profile (I'm on CleanROM GB). Do ICS based ROMs support it?
I believe they should but I can't guarantee it because I haven't personally tried it.

I didn't think the htc Bluetooth stack supported it. Only seen that functionality on aosp roms.
