I thought it used to work when I was using CM9, but now I'm on AOKP. Does anyone have it working?
It almost seems like it's trying to play the phone version, if that's the case then I'm thinking something got messed up with the build.prop.
Works on cm9 on my friends galaxy s

Zero lag, the graphics are very smooth, but, as I already mentioned, the controls are quite bad.
There's no lag, but it took me about an hour to map all the gamepad controls since the touchscreen compatibility is literally ****ed up. Now that I can play with a gamepad it works flawlessly though.

Wait what? how do you play it with a gamepad controller? I was SO MAD about the touch controls as it would randomly shoot and I can't stop the waste of bullet's and especially that annoying moment where you can't aim at the bad guy's in the first scene after shooting the top corner's of the gate

In sixaxis controller I checked "enable gamepad, " then Shadowgun enables the gamepad menu and allows you to assign bindings from within the game. I bet plugging in a xbox controller would work as well. I'm not sure if keyboard emulation works anymore, but I don't see why not.

As retarded as this may sound, I have an Xbox controller, but where do you plug it into the tab or how, Always been wondering this when I saw pershoot's kernel allowing this.

You would have to insmod the gamepad module...and then buy a usb adaptor for $20. Then you would need a compatible cable to connect the xbox controller to the tablet.
I just went to Walmart and dropped $60 on a Dual Shock 3 controller though...the Sixaxis Controller app is pretty awesome. (like it's really really really really awesome)
Epic, will try this, can you link a specific picture or sort of the USB adapter? I assume this is a female-female one?

Here's the official Samsung one, I don't know much more about them.
Holy crap?! This would totally save my day, How the **** did I not find something like that? I asked them for ALL their accessories that they had and I got dragged to the stupid cover cases.
Thank's for this, Now I know what it looks like.
I figured you had to use the original cable, then a female-female adapter, then the xbox controller on the other side. All in all a very long ass wire.

Thanks for the tip! I'm using one of my PS3 controllers (no need of USB adapter for pairing with the Tab, just the standard mini USB and sixpair on the PC), works great.
Has anybody used a Bluetoooth heart rate monitor with this phone and Endomondo (or other fitness app)?
I was wondering if any of the Bluetooth 4.0 (smart) heart rate monitors would work with this phone (Zephyr HxM Smart or Polar H7)
Thanks
I'm using Runkeeper app and the "older" Polar heart rate monitor (non 4+). It is working very solidly for me. I have had it for about 1 month, still haven't changed the battery (I've ran about 10-15 hours with it so far).
I didn't have enough faith in BT4.0 to try the newer one.
Let us know if you decide to try it!
I ended up going with the Zephyr HxM Bluetooth for Android model (BT 2.0) to use with Endomondo. It works great so far!
After reading some posts on the Nexus forums, apparently BT 4.0 isn't fully supported yet on Android. Something about each app maker needing to create an API themselves to support BT 4.0. So most apps don't use it yet. The 4.0 devices may connect to the phone, but the app won't recognize it. Maybe Key Lime Pie will address this soon.
I understand that 4.3 will support Bluetooth 4.0/Bluetooth Low Energy, and more specifically Bluetooth Smart devices.
Does anyone have any experience with any Bluetooth heart rate monitor chest straps- even before 4.3- which were not supported by popular running apps?
To me, if a device has the Bluetooth logo, it meets Bluetooth protocol certifications and should work but these running apps say they only support a Polar or Zephyr (insert model #) here.
I didn't know if that is because that's all they test with or they're trying to hawk their own store products.
Personally, I prefer to invest in one heart rate chest strap that works with multiple apps if I decide I don't like one app at some point and how each of the running apps claim they only support 2 brands or models of something is pretty ridiculous.

Actually, Yes, they work -BUT- Android does not work with them.
Most phones do support BLE in their hardware, but android does NOT have the API-calls to access the hardware (until 4.3).
If you have a Bluetooth Smart device ( like your heart rate monitor ) and you try to pair it with any BLE capable device, it will work to a certain point, since it is Bluetooth after all. But bluetooth smart is a "simplified" version of bluetooth, with the intention to cut power usage so you can run on a coin cell battery for months, even years in some cases. The problem is that while they did cut the protocol down they also broke backward compatibility to a certain degree.
So communication from your Bluetooth smart device to your mobile phones bluetooth chip does work, but since "things" have changed, the part behind the bluetooth chip on your phone has to cope with the new differences. That does not happen in android before 4.3 . Some manufacturers like Samsung and HTC and Motorola (SHM) have done their own work (all three different approaches) to cope with the problem.
Me, as an APP developer, could go to all SHM companies and make my app work with their "workarounds" just to support a handfull of phones, coping with the quirks of those workarounds. -OR- I simply wait for google to implement BLE stack on Android in a newer version.
The reason it took Google till Android 4.3 to get BLE working was that google already did want to cleanup the Bluetooth code and waited till all is finished ( that's what I've read online ). I think that was the wrong approach. Since most Handset manufacturers do not update ROMs as fast, the Market share of android devices that truly work flawless with BLE will continue to be low for the next 2-3 years.
I am doing a masters thesis on bluetooth low energy and want to use it with android, although it should be clear that I need a Phone, I am still hessitating to buy a Nexus 4, although I am in need of a BLE compatible Phone.
On the other hand there are reports that the previous nexus phone, the galaxy nexus, has a BLE capable chip and meanwhile did get Android 4.3, but in that case (seemingly) the drivers for the BT-chip do not work with bluetooth smart / BLE. (A good reason to get angry)
To get back to your Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) straps, most probably the old ones did do some "own development" with older Bluetooth. The point is that BLE has a specific profile for HRM devices, so they will all be mix-n-match / compatible-to-eachother once the market for compatible apps, compatible phones and compatible straps is existent. Earlier HRM straps did implement their own data transmission protocol over the well known bluetooth serial protocol. That is the reason they are compatible with only one or two apps (or one app with a couple of straps).
I have a Nexus 4 and just received a Polar H7 HRM which is a Bluetooth Smart device. Loaded 4.3 up, Android recognizes it, no apps do.

Update:
A nerd at Polar finally alleviated my worries.
_______######_____#
We do not foresee any changes made to the H7 as it uses BTLE standard protocol. * It will be compatible with 4.3. *We have seen the recent announcement regarding 4.3 and are working hard to see what it means for Polar Beat application. It is great that so many people would like the Beat app to be available on Android phones. Us too! Stay tuned for further news.
Thank you for training with Polar!

For me that means I'll keep the h7 I bought. To hell with apps that won't support it in favor of their own branded HRMs. I want freedom to switch $5 apps versus buying $50 HRMs for each.
Anything new on this front? I have a Galaxy Note II and would like to buy a BTLE HRM belt for it. Is there any belt that's likely to work with v4.3 and apps like Endomondo or Runtastic?

Yeah, I'd love if someone who has paired the Wahoo Blue HR with a Nexus 4 has got Runkeeper to successfully communicate with the heart rate monitor. My MotoActv died and I'm thinking I should have a Bluetooth hrm as a backup.

I just purchased the Wahoo Blue HR strap to test with Runtastic app and an S3 with Android 4.3 (Cyanogen). I will test tomorrow and if it doesn't work I will return and then try the Polar H7 and let you all know what the results are.
Runtastic recently updated their app to include support for Android 4.3 with Bluetooth 4.0.

That'll be excellent. Can't wait for the status update. My wife also uses an S3, so it will be a definite purchase for me if you confirm that all is good.
I couldn't wait, so I purchased the Wahoo heart rate monitor. I should've done my research but I had to find out the hard way that because there's no support for BT LE in Runkeeper and Endomondo, they didn't work at all. I signed up for the Wahoo beta android app and gave that a go. That was fine. Didn't try Runtastic though.
Luckily I had a coworker who was after one for his iPhone so I sold him mine on the same day for the same price I had purchased it.
I ended up getting the Polar Wearlink Bluetooth (not the Wearlink+ H7 with Bluetooth 4.0 version- because it is pointless if your app of choice doesn't support it). I wouldn't be surprised if Runkeeper announced support soon, but they've been talking about it for over a year now. So it will come eventually, but the time is not now.
I used a Nexus 5 for testing, but I'm sure I would've gotten the same result with a Nexus 4.
Wahoo ble beta

Runtastic does support Smart HRMs. I use it with my Polar H7 and Nexus 4 with no issues. I think that's about the only full featured fitness app out there on android that supports it. The other big apps (such as Runkeeper) are just MIA, as far as I know there is no ETA for support, no beta, nothing. If Runkeeper supported smart BT, I would buy it, simply because it is the only app supported by my employer sponsored fitness portal.

How can such a big app can have this lack of development and not support BTLE yet? Is this a lack of knowledge from developpers? Licensing? Money? A little bit of everything?

Unfortunately, using a heart rate monitor with Runtastic is pointless for me since the app does not consider your heart rate in it's calorie burning calculation. This came direct from Runtastic support. The heart rate is only tracked for informational purposes but not used by the app.
I'm trying to find a workout app that does the following:
1) Syncs with Myfitnesspal or Fitbit
2) Is compatible with BLE heart rate monitors
3) Uses heart rate to calculate calories burned
4) Works with the Sony Smartwatch
Runtastic does 1, 2 and 4 but as I said doesn't to 3.
I know Digifit/iCardio does 1, 2 and 3 but not 4.
What about the Wahoo app? Does anyone know if it works with the Sony Smartwatch and/or uses your heart rate in its calculations?

.. been waiting for this for ages as well, neverending story with runkeeper and BTLE
Guys, just use iCardio. I've been using it for the past week and it works with the Polar H7 HRM.
Forget all the others like Runkeeper and Endomondo who can't keep up with the times. You have other options so use them. I was using Endomondo but I've moved on and have no regrets.
I've been working on a heart rare monitor app. Currently, the amount of features is slim, but this will change soon.. if you participate in testing, it would help me very much.
//play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.restracks.android.ble
This looks like a good start... I am looking for an app that will capture the BTLE or ANT+ output from my new Mio Link when inthe gym. I could use my Forerunner 220 and ANT+, but then I get a cadence track from the internal sensor that I dont want and cant turn off. This then screws up the pace/distance stats.
I have tried the Wahoo app and BTLE, but I seem to get loads of spikes.
Does your app log the heart rate, and is there then a way to extract it for upload somewhere else - ideally in .FIT or .tcx format ??
Any other apps out there that do this ?
I have read that the phone does support mhl 3.0, but then I have read that it doesn't and the only way you are getting video out is through Miracast. Anybody here have direct knowledge if there is mhl support?
Thanks
Microsoft Miracast dongle won't work with it either. Does not connect. So much for using this phone with my Appradio.

Just wish I knew which adapter worked. I would get the nex4100, but having an Appradio 2 already and was planning on using ARLiberator or unchained, it would keep me from spending $600. At this point I guess I have to return my phone. Drastic I know, but my radio is useless without a phone.
Samsung phones will generally only work with Samsung brand MHL adapters.
I've read multiple sources on the web that it is true that he S6 doesn't support MHL. I'll verify this later today. While this isn't a big deal at home because you can use chromecast ...etc, , it is in my car. I've always displayed my Phone's (androids and IOS) on my car stereo, for gps or waze purposes (just some examples). Anyone else use MHL? kinda bummed about sammy taking away that functionality.

I got it to work with my AppRadio using Chromecast. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it did work for me. I just would rather use a hardwire connection. If Chromecast had not worked I would have returned the phone. Lack of MHL was a deal breaker for me, but Chromecast works really good for this device.

With Chromecast it is flawless, with any other Miracast adapter it is horrible. The only hard part (not hard, time consuming) is setting up the Chromecast to work with tethering off of your phone. The rest works just the same as an mhl adapter.
Well, these comments are bothersome! I ordered a Samsung MHL connector from Amazon and it is coming from China on a very slow boat. I ordered it two weeks ago and Amazon says it could be another month. This will tick me off if it finally gets here and doesn't work!! If anyone gets it to work, please post here!!
I got an official Samsung adapter and my s3 works like a charm but my s6 edge just shows a black screen

Hi,
I have this idea and would like to validate if it is feasible:
-What if I use one of those cheap VR headset , for example,
ebay.com/itm/New-1pcs-3D-Glasses-VR-Box-Headset-Google-Cardboard-Virtual-Reality-Hot-/391636008832?hash=item5b2f533f80:g:tvsAAOSwZQRYWNTS
- Then install controller-emulator app on of my old android 6.0:
developers.google.com/vr/daydream/controller-emulator
-Then I launch the Daydream app on my Axon 7 manually (no need for the fancy NFC trigger)
Is there anything that could stop this from working? I do not think the google daydream viewer has any special sensors or anything, right?
This is working but there are problems with the functionality by using the emulator method. Inputs weren't recognized in my lollipop device.
On mm it could work.
Why don't you try the emulator before buying the VR headset?
It did work perfectly for me. I used it to try daydream before deciding to purchase it. I used a Nexus 4 as a controller

The Daydream headset is quite nice, compared to the carboard one I used for testing, and the actual controller is much better than a phone because you can actually feel and press the buttons. With a phone, you don't really know where your finger is and you have to do strange things like double clicks to simulate some controller actions. The controller, though, sometimes has problems, like losing connection, which a phone does not have. Hopefully they will get solved with firmware updates
