Sixaxis App + HDMI Output - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello,
whats the best / only way to root your phone to support the "sixaxis" app, but also with support of hdmi output?
Im running on FreeXperia CM9 "2012-08-03 -unoffical -nozomi" and sixaxis runs like a smooth but i cant get hdmi to work..
Been looking on the internet for too long today, but havent found anything really useful and related to the xperia s.
Do i need another "software" than FreeXperia CM9? What do i have to do in order to get it to work..?

I think CM9 dont have HDMI support, yet. Try stock based ROM, HDMI works with it. But quit this idea if you dont want do play only "slow games". There is a input lag - before someone say, even with the service menu "fix", it only reduces it - when the HDMI cable is plugged. Press thanks if i helped, please. =)

im on the stock .453 rom and there is hardly any lag, barely noticable. I'm doing that with my phone. I'm using the sixaxis app with my dualshock 3 controller on my phone, and outputting the display to my 55inch sony bravia tv.
Many games work well, shadowgun, dead trigger, max payne, and gta all are optimized for the controller and it acts like a ps2.

Thanks both of you, here's the solution how i got it to work now:
I installed the offical (stock) rom .452 again on my phone and flashed a custom kernel from this thread (Build 11):

Now it works perfect and as ttiimm said, theres hardly any input lag -
Finally everything works

Sixaxis Controller Issue

ive recently found out that you are able to connect your sixaxis controller to your phone to play games. (ill include the links at the end of the post)
This is where the problem starts, I can connect to my phone easy as it says its supported but i am not able to control any game or even my devise with the controller then a few minutes later the phone reboots...
This is becoming very frustrating...Ive tried different controllers and different roms without success any help would be appreciated.
I'm using wolfs 3.9 2.3.3 rom.
Links...

perhaps related.... (using stock 2.3.3) wiimote app works fine for 15-20min then locks up bluetooth and stops working. I can turn BT off but then I can't turn it back on again till i reboot my phone.
Did not have problem before update to official GB

I built a controller for that purpose.. and now it's useless.
@all no kenrel related problem it works great for me.
U have to connect the controler first to pc and change its bluetooth address to the Bluetooth address of x10 the small pc tool is found at dancing pixiles studio the official site of that app.

Im getting the exact same issue but with a sixaxis... good to know its not just me. Except mine usually only runs for a minute or so in game. Then control locks up, have to reboot to be able to restart bluetooth.
Except running cyanogenmod 7 on my x10.
**edit**
Just decided to test on a wiimote, played for about 30 mins on one of my wiimotes using the free "WiimoteController" app from the market. that worked 100%, no lockups. Upon finishing gaming, i turned the wiimote off, changed back to my android keyboard and powercycled the bluetooth and it disabled and re-enabled fine. so im assuming its an beta issue with the sixaxis software at this stage. (its only v0.1 at the moment)
I did however email the developer of the app.
I'm running stock so I wonder if they could make a fix based on the CM7 build for the bluetooth to play nice with the wiimote?
sixaxis
I had the same problem and found there is some incompatibility with Doom Kernel, Im using thgo2 v16 ROM with DoomKernel, and after a few minutes of playing the phone totally locks-up and have to make a battery pull, I decided to change kernel, flashed this custom kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16796499&postcount=1 and worked like a charm.
PS. Playing Legend of Dragoon for PS1 over an hour with no lock-ups what so ever

[Q] [cm9] Nook tweaks app

I just updated to ics build!!! its working gr8 most of my apps works gr8 but sound setting on nook tweaks is not working!!! it force closes every time i tried to use it!!! other option works like overclocking and everything else except sound setting!!! any idea what goin on???
thanks to all the awesome devs for making it possible to run ICS on my nook!!! i can now brag to my friends about having ICS device running on my car as entertainment center!!! thank u all so much!!
well considering that Nook Tweaks was not designed for ICS, I would Not expect everything to work perfectly.
That being said I'm using Eyeballers build with OpenGL and I'm not having this issue. his builds can be found here http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore
keep in mind that ICS on the nook is still very early in the beta stages and a lot of things will not work or not work as intended.</strike>
Update NVM I can open the audio menu but trying to go into the sub menus cause the app to freeze. Just goes to show you ICS is not ready for a Daily driver yet. still lots of work to be done.
Thatz what i thought too....i use my nook color for music and other stuff in my car and that boost on sound would be really good!!!
Looks like the audio boost functionality requires some hooks in the kernel before it can actually do anything. I'm slowly teaching myself this stuff but if I get a chance I will take a look this weekend to see if there's any way to port those parts of the gingerbread kernel over to ICS

Optimize text on HDMI mirroring with lapdock?

Hello
At the moment I'm stuck and happy on the Neutrino 2.9
I've the lapdock but I can live without the webtop... hdmi mirroring is enough for me, especially when I can change the DPI
The only problem is that with any DPI setting I've fuzzy/blurred text, and it's very annoying to read... I've no problem when I play a game or I watch videos
Is there anything I could try? Any fix for this?
Thank you!

everyone having issues with video playback.
Also had video playback issues with the xperia tablet s, but ony with the built-in sony player.
The first video (an mp4) didn't play at all ("This video can't be played" or something), after that I put it on my SGS3 where it played just fine...
The second one (another mp4) played for about 30 seconds, when suddenly the player shut down ("Unfortunately, this video has been stopped") while the audio played on and could be stopped only by restarting the sony player and the video. And again, after 30 secs, another shutdown of the player and the video, but not the audio....
Then I installed the MX Player from the play store, and since then, no playback problems so far....
I don't think we need another thread for this topic.
To clarify, I have NO issue with this device, shut down, YouTube or otherwise.

MXPlayer Pro is the best I could find. Easy to set as default player and does evey kind of video file there is...subtitles too. I would agree that video is a little different on this tablet. I think part of it may be the small format maybe? It seems like the video is playing in slow motion but only a fraction of a second maybe....then again maybe an illusion. I haven't put this next to a lappy or my regular lcd tv to see if it tracks the same though either. It's such a minor thing for me....the audio sounds fine not slow or slurred or any problem so I just leave it.
Glad to hear another confirmed positive on the flasher tool. I'm at release 3, rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 and looking to go to 6b. Thanks for the info.

Even if I'm already rooted? I thought if rooted then would stay rooted?? Anyone else know? I'm glad I didn't do it today and waited till Ii had more insight. Thanks either way Zer0K3wL...that's what these forums are all about.

If you update via ota update you will be locked out of root from 6b offical
If updated via the flasher root remains as its a prerooted 6b from the flasher with a different recovery 1a I believe

[Q] Is Infrared device workingon CM11 ?

Hi
does anyone knows if the Z2 Tablet IR emitter is working or how to make it work?
Currently I wasn't able to find any IR App which is working on CM11.
Also I couldn't see any IR device in /dev...
I always thought IR is (quite) easy on linux and CM seems to support IR at all, so whats wrong?
Best,
mm

It works Today I used the "Remote Control" app which comes stock. It was able to control my Hitachi HDTV and even my WD TV Live streaming media player. It has to be pointed at the devices of course, but it works. (My model # is SGP561)
I don't know if any other apps can use it though. Haven't really playeed around with it much.

Hmmm are you sure? My question was about IR on Cyanogenmod 11. I guess you are on stock ROM, right?
On stock ROM the Sony App is unbeatable in fact, but unfortunately it does not work on any customrom.

Oh, I see. I think I missed that. So are you missing the APK file, or are you missing the folder?
If it's the APK file: is there any way to extract a stock rom as an APK file? If so, I wouldn't mind extracting a copy for you so you can see if it works, but I only know how to extract APK files from the Play Store.
Otherwise, what if you tried just copying the missing folder over from a stock ROM?
Or maybe it's something that was lost with the DRM keys?
Oh, it's not the problem of an missing apk. I've backups of them, of course, but they would not work on custom roms. Since I like the freedom of CM more than the functionally of the stock Z2 Rom I use CM on all of my devices. But I'm always in hope that someone has a hint or even a solution on this issue of the Z2 tablet Android and CM has an IR API so it's a missing driver and Sony just released the kernel sources of the Zz2 so there is hope that someone has an idea...
Yeah, the only reason I'm not going for a custom rom is because the loss of DRM keys result in the loss of core functionality. I really hope that someone manages to figure out how to take all of those official apps and put them into a custom firmware where the DRM keys don't matter anymore.
Any updates on this? I have the exact same issue, a Z2 tablet with CM11 and I can't find any apps to work with the IR
Well, the z2 is quite old right now. I don't even think about it, sorry. Take an recent Sony ROM, root it and bebhappy with what you have... Beleive me, after some years being very disappointed with a WinCE phone from Sony I bought the Z2. It is quite good but next time I'll buy a Nexus.
