What are some good gamepads that can be clipped on to the EVO 4G LTE? I have a PS3 controller and that works good, but maybe there's something that can fit onto the EVO 4G LTE.
I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/Gametel-Porta...id=1346540532&sr=8-8&keywords=Gamepad+android but it kinda looks "meh" due to the odd looking D-PAD

The way that ICS works for PS3 controllers is that after you plug it in the first time it will automatically pair with the controller over bt so you won't need the wire again afterwards.
As i'm not sure whether the phone can charge the controller or not, in which case if it does i wouldn't want it sucking power off the phone during use, i would just get the one without wires for less stuff to lug around.
No idea if using the controller will interfere with BT headset functionality if you use any with the phone, but i do know that when i'm listening to music autotether doesn't work properly so that might be something to think about.

Awesome! I saw a review when it first came out. It was around $50 at the time. Definitely getting one now!
Pretty easy to replicate the design, its off to blender I go to build one.

Alright I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but our phones are capable of tv-out via HDMI, and this is done via the MHL protocol which attaches an adapter to the usb port for simultaneous charging/HDMI out. Taking advantage of this I thought "hey it would be awesome to rock some emulators", but the traditional bluestacks/wiimote combo is not compatible with our devices due to some driver issues and samsung bluetooth stacks. So I scoured the internet looking for a solution that wouldn't involve me having to buy a bluetooth peripheral, and found out about "Sixaxis" control; this app allows one to use their existing PS3 Control as a joystick/input method, and works extremely well. It's worth the buy and is extremely smooth.
So After you have and have set-up the Emulator with your rom; you've set-up the Six-axis control from the instructions, connect your phone to your TV through MHL, set-up the input settings, and have fun!
Here's my Set-up

Huh? sixaxiscontroller works with Samsung BT stacks????
That's new... Usually using that on a Samsung device (other than Tab 10.1) required CM7.

That shocked me too. I paid $50 for a phonejoy to get around that.
I too was already expectant of the lack of bluetooth for stock roms, since I tried the same with the Captivate. But a random google search showed it running on the Galaxy S II (International Variant), so i gave it a spin!
Damn... I'm gonna have to grab my sixaxis from the car and bust out A Link to the Past...
thats pretty awsome

Nothing beats old consoles, just me replaying my childhood memories of Smash is amazing, considering how fluid it plays from our phone!
Ya know even with the video I was a skeptic. To test it they have a test app that can be used to verify it will work. You still need to go through all the steps and part of it involves a pc but the whole thing does work.
I loaded snesoid and mapped the joypad and buttons on my ps3 controller to the emulator disabling the virtual pad and the trackball options while I was at it. Once done I was playing super mario all stars on it pretty easily. There is virtually no lag between the controller and the game.
Tested on a stock rooted rom. No custom roms flashed at all which means I definitely used the standard samsung bluetooth stack to test it.
im running UnNamed and it says its not compatible. any ideas? or do i hav to run CM7?

First of all your phone needs to be rooted for the application to access root permissions, then install that app, and there's 2-3 times it'll ask for root permissions where you have to grant them. It should say it's compatible.

One thing I've encountered:
Running Sixaxiscontroller will cause a semipermanent bt_wake wakelock in the kernel. You need to reenable (and maybe also disable) BT in the main Settings menu to clear it.

Original, knockoffs don't work well.
Just got a usb otg cable and ps3 mock pad which works just fine, however when trying to get a wired Xbox 360 controller to work, it doesn't seem to like it.
So I did a little search and found an app which someone has used in a video to show off exactly this as well as other otg connectivity.
The app is called USB/BT joystick center.
There's is a free version which is the only one I can get for the galaxy s 3, the paid for version isn't available apparently, even though I think it may work, I've no issue buying it but I can't as it won't let me.
The problem I have with the free one is that I install the center app, which is needed, I am able to see my Xbox controller, then there's a second app which is used to map keys etc.
This app always says that the center app is not installed?
There is very little info out there about this app and this particular error.
I know it can work on the galaxy s 3 as I've seen it in a video, it has been posted on xda recently and it is legit.
Does anyone have any ideas on this please?
Many thanks.

Well I bought it the other day and haven't really played around with it much yet but I tried with wired Ps3 and 360 and it is showing key inputs. and you can also use a wireless Ps3 controller but you have to plug a compatible Bluetooth dongle into phone first to get Mac address.

Yea that's exactly what happened to me, so what I did was switched my old evo 3d on and signed back into it, for whatever reason its available on sensation and the evo 3d. So I bought it, backed it up with titanium, copied the back up to my phone, restored it then allowed it to verify my email address, which it did and now it works
What a pain in the Arse that was.
Now I've got the problem of trying to decypher the actual app lol, all fun an games.

If you're Rooted then Market Enabler might help see it in the Play Store (for newcomers to the thread).
I just ordered my USB OTG Cable today. For those that don't know what it means, it stands for USB On-The-Go. Basically, it allows you to read files from a portable flash drive straight from your phone. This will only work with a compatable kernel and since we have an ICS Source the developers said it was already enabled within the kernel.
This will be my first time to have ever used one and I was just wondering the pros and cons of having something like this.
I need some feed back~~
well from my POV these are my pros and cons...
PROS:
Extra space (whatever you can get that hooks up to usb, 2tb!!)
CONS:
Lugging around the extra crap
You have a good con list ziggy46..lol
I was concerned about that as well. But I have a 500gb portable external hard drive and it has tons of crap that I can probably watch or listen to on my phone. I can't shove everything on my 32gb sdcard. My 1T sits on my desk for my wife's photography thing she does.
My friend has an OTG cable and he uses his usb mouse to control his phone.
It's pretty cool but really gimmicky.
Hmmm...interesting. Thanks for the tip
if your otg cable works out good for you let us know. i might buy one and get a 2tb usb hdd.
btw, if things are fomatted in NTFS you might need to make a script for them to mount to the phone...
HTC doesn't support USB OTG in general. It will require a kernel hack. It didn't work in GB. I am not sure about ICS.
From what kozmick mentioned in his kernel thread it was enabled in the kernel. Im hoping it works if not then I hope it works on the N7 or my wife's SGS2.

I still have my OTG cable from my Nokia N8. I wonder if it will work..
Normally USB otg won't work on an HTC device. According to faux its something about the USB stack.
Ok. So I FINALLY got my USB-OTG Cable and even with the enabeled kernel it does not work. Kinda bummed but the part was cheap so its not a major loss. It works on ky wife's SGS2 and I read that it will work on the Idolian tablet I just ordered so I'm cool with that. I'll try and sell the other 3 that I won't need.

Just wondering, for the usb otg on the sgs2, did you need to connect the ext hd with power source? Or is the sgs2 able to power the ext hd?
It was able to power it just fine. I was just using a 2GB flash drive to test and you can see the led light come on. Not sure how well it could keep the charge up tho.

I was bored and was looking up some stuff about our phones and noticed that the wifi chip used in our phones is capable of fm receiver and fm transceiver so my question why the hell isn't this turned on by default and how hard would it be to enable this feature..

You can stream via Bluetooth if your deck & phone are compatible or you can get one of those adapters that allows streaming threw FM stations.

Because i have to buy an fm transmitter when my powerful smartphone already has this function built inside of it, that i already paid you're and don't need another item dangling in the car, how is that hard to understand, that was my original question, if i wanted a cheapo transmitter from walmart i would have went and bought it

Uh huh. = On to the next one.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
It is on this phone and the EVO 4g. I can't tell you why it isn't on by default. But on the EVO 4g, the problem was:
1 no one wanted to write the drivers
2 no one wanted to make an app for something that didn't have drivers
3 I don't think there were portable drivers from any other device
4 if I remeber correctly, there was some discussion whether the eternal antenna was the correct length.
^^^^^^^^ this
The agreement was that trying to do this would destroy the chip. It would be nice though...
Personally I would love the option.
I moved from the state's to Germany and am trying to find a good use for my 3D running Viper Rom since its Sprint CDMA and doesn't work in Europe. I currently have the HTC One X quad core.
I was kind of hoping USB OTG has been hacked to work on it so I could run it as a small pc (monitor mouse and keyboard) or something, but I could not find any info to get that working (searched and searched).
Its not worth me selling since it has a bad esn and only would sell for 100 USD or so. Then minus eBay and paypals fees. Bla bla... Too much work cor not enough pay..
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance!

OTG works fine on the Evo 3D if you use a kernel like ButteredToast that supports it.
You might also look into GrooveIP that uses Google Voice and works pretty well over WiFi and the international calls are pretty inexpensive over GV.
If you really want to use it as a mini PC there is a thread here that discusses how to run Ubuntu Linux on it.
And worse comes to worse, you can download some 3D movies over WiFi and connect it to a 3D TV via an MHL/HDMI adapter.
I plan to keep my Evo 3D's around for a while after I upgrade for these and other reasons, and the development for it is still pretty active for this device.

Ok, I tried the buttered toast kernel. What Rom do I need? Does that link point out everything that's needed?
I was going to try the google voice thing, but I couldn't set up a phone number since now I have no US cell number to confirm a text or something like that. I don't remember exactly because its been a little while since I tried it.

The OP of the OTG thread has most of what you need to get it to work. Make sure you use an OTG adapter that will let you supply power of use an active USB hub since the Evo 3D doesn't provide power to the OTG device(s).
You can get a new US phone number from Google Voice when you sign up and it doesn't have to match your cell phone. GrooveIP will be able to receive calls on that number in addition to making outgoing calls.
Good luck!
