Galaxy S3 As Controller? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
Loving my S3, but was wondering if there is an app of some sort that lets me use my S3 as a PC Controller (buttons appearing on screen) for Laptop, preferably for use with OnLive?
(Yes, I know there's an OnLive App for android)
Thanks

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?

chainfire3d question

Hey dont know if this the the correct forum to ask but i cant seem to post anywhere else. First of all iv got a galaxy s2 its not yet rooted as i dont have a need for it just yet. Im wondering if chainfire 3d will allow me to use the splashtop gamepad thd app that you can stream games with. I know that the app basicly works as it installs and i can connect to my pc and scroll about with the mouse and whatnot but the screen on my phone stays blank (im guessing due to the fact its designed for tegra 3 devices) im just wondering would chainfire 3d allow me to use the app properly?
Bump... has noone tested this?

Gamepad support background app...

Hi,
As there are a few apps that support gamepads, but none of them seem to work as well as needed...
I have 2 original PS3 controllers and one Logitech Chillstream PS3 controller. I haven't tried original ones, but I got an USB adaptor gor my galaxy tab 8.9 and connected it... I can see the controller and even mess around with it on home screen and some other places, but I also use an app called XPadder on PC.
As I suck at coding stuff, it's nearly impossible for me to do. I'd like a way to remap stuff, or select areas on screen to map to buttons on the controller. so that it'd be possible to play every game with it.
The only extremely hard thing seems to be running it in the background with full support...
It's just an idea thou... I will not be able to make this... maybe someone could actually do it...
Thanks,
J
I forgot to add that I'm running Android 3.2 with _motley kernel @1400Mhz

[Q] Sixaxis + Shadowgun:Deadzone

Hi, anyone trying to play Shadowguneadzone with Sixaxis (PS3 controller, 4.1.2 rooted stock)? I play a lot with this combo on Nexus 7 (works great), but when I tried today (bought HDMI dongle - trying to play on TV), gamepad will disconnect as soon as I start game in deadzone (e.g. select deathmatch).
When I switch back to sixaxis and pair the gamepad again, the game restarts.
EDIT: My bad, got it working (I didn't have Sixaxis IME selected). And I'm too lame to know how to delete the thread.

not yet .. did you?
i've tried ps3 controller connected on OTG, and readed something about playing around on a SNES emu and ifso done just disconnect youre controller. and turn on bluetooth and you will see that youre controller is already paired with youre phone( weird as it is but its PAIRED!! )
and so yeah i've played some old school mario on my phone on the emu. and ive turned on the bluetooth and it definitly works. but the thing is there's no keymapping app for the ps3 controller around.
so im on sixaxis controller app which is worth 5 stars in my oppinion, just search for it on store and you will be able to almost connect each bluetooth controller and remapp all the buttons.
