App suggestion - Use android phone as gamepad

Another suggestion if that's ok?
I had remembered that with the IOS vers. of the SNES emulator, that you could use you're iPod touch or iPhone as the controller.
Anyone know of any way to do that with an android phone? ie: use my android phone as a bluetooth gamepad to play emulators with.
I have searched google the past few days and have only seen the Wiimote apk. While that does work, it just seems more convenient to have a phone that is already with you able to do it, that and it only has a limited number of buttons.
Anyone else share the interest? Thanks! =)

+1 to this
I would definitely be interested in this as well, using your phone as the remote would be killer and extremely convenient!

That would be pretty cool. I hope someone develops something.

Yeah it would.

one up for this!
does a project like this exist (even under development) ? i just googled for an hour but i could not find anything useful.
Something that maps wifi signals from my phone to key press on my pc would be great to use with emulators
//edit
hehe... just after posting i found something
http://code.google.com/p/agamepad/
sadly its not under active development
oh and could somebody please move this thread to a more general android section? i just found it via google and then realized its in the xoom forums (where it does not belong imo)

This would be really cool.
Neat idea to contribute: Make it skinnable. So, you could maybe lay it out like the controller of whatever you're playing. (When using Nesoid, you could use an NES controller skin, when using Snesoid, you could use an SNES controller skin, etc.)

I'm more interested in using my phone as a bluetooth keyboard, but I suppose that could be part of it.

I have been looking for an app that will make my android phone into a remote control. I want to have my Xoom connected to my tv and use my phone to control the various media players that I use..

about android phone into gamepad/ keyboard
Hi, do have any news about this apps now? THANKS

try this
i use unified remote<full version> on a daily basis. it is my portable blue-tooth keyboard, media remote, mouse, etc... i even use it on my laptop. it comes with alot of preloaded remotes for various setups.i have never done it, but it does have a custom settings menu to make your own remote setup.. idk if this can control games, but as far as everything else, hellz yeah.

This is a great idea, skinnable would definitely be hot. Of course I got my PS3 controller working on my Xoom already....

I don't wanna root my device just to use my PS3 controller and I also dont have a OTG cable Im getting one in Nov though

well, i was looking for something like that as well. for weeks, but i found something great here at xda-developers its called "blueputdroid" https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid and its doing a great job even if the gamepad does not work this good .. but 4 example the psx4droid emulator made it possible to control via this app. its just need to be configured correctly.

oh thanks`, But "blueputdroid" is not suppot for my darky v10.2 Rom _ _!! and i also find some as similar as it " droidmote client" but it's support through WIFI only...

you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
look this video and search for other:

I'm not a great player and I am very tired after having developed a lot but this is a small example of the new features:

playstation 3 controller app guide

Sixaxis Controller app lets play games on your phone with your dual shock or sixaxis controller
your cappy needs to be rooted and have a supporting rom with the needed bluetooth protocol
I have tested this app on 2 roms
roms that have the protocol
cynogenmod 7.1 7.0
rom that dont work
apex v9.0
darkys rom v10.2 cappy extreme
directionshttp://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
apps: https://market.android.com/search?q=sixaxis&so=1&c=apps
paid app free :http://www.filestube.com/ac7494e5551261eb03e9/go.html
video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGulIF85SnM
you can even connect to tv or a projector and play in HD with a HDMI port on most phones (saddly no HDMI port on cappy)
also the controls are premapped or totally customizable
just uses to see if it works on your phone Sixaxis Compatibility Checker
PLEASE TEST THE Sixaxis Controller APP ON YOUR ROM TO HELP BUILD THE LIST
AND HELP DEVS ADD THE CORRECT PROTOCOL INTO THERE ROMS.
JUST RESPOND AND TELL ME IF IT WORKS ON YOUR ROMMMM

I don't think it will work on any roms but aosp ones. I could be wrong?

well cynogen mod 7 works. i havent done tuns of testing.
It becomes annyoing having to flash and test every single cappy rom.
That is the main reason why im also asking people to test it using the test app on thier roms post a reply so i can post it in the forum
https://market.android.com/details?...patibilitychecker&feature=more_from_developer
BUT asop or not it doent matter it is just a bluetooth protocol that any custum rom can have.

This looks super cool. I wish I had a playstation. Xbox controllers don't use bluetooth, do they?

im almost certian they use infared. I THINK it would be possible to play with the 360 controller with an ir dongle. sort of like how you can connect your phone and tv and use your phone as a remote. It would need a special app and dongle.

The 360 Control is not IR based. It is RF based, however it is not Bluetooth based, it is proprietary. There is a USB receiver for the controllers but it can not work directly through Bluetooth.

FYI, this has been digested and discussed on many a thread, and just to save everyone a lot of trouble: yes, you must be on CM7 or MIUI to use this. It requires a corrected Bluez bluetooth stack, which only AOSP ROMs have. For Samsung ROMs, the only controller you can use is iControlPad (which you can buy here: http://icontrolpad.com/) to use with the Bluez IME app (from the market).

PS3 controller support

It appears as though there is an app out now to pair PS3 game controllers with Android devices via Bluetooth. Can someone download Sixaxis from the market and confirm functionality? According to the free device checker, our Xooms are compatible with this app.
Edit: Forgot to mention this requires root.

I tried it and it works great with the Xoom. I highly recommend it for the gamers. The perfect solution for playing with emulators.

Ive downloaded and paired Via Bluetooth. The only Problem im having with it is that cant configure the controller (well you can configure it but not for certain games) to play other games other then Roms it would be better if lets say there was a way to configure NOVA 2 That would be an epic way to play it

Good app
Great solution to the PS3 controller pairing issue.
I've messed around with this app a fair amount today on my Atrix, and loaded it on my Xoom just to see if I could copy the apk and run it fine on another device. Xoom isn't rooted so I can't tell you how it works on that device. However I will say that the controller configuration is extensive for which button does what. It seems to have just about any of the buttons you could expect to input from a D1 and a Play along with quite a few more to boot.
Since you're essentially mapping system inputs in place of button presses, it also solves the issue of multiple controllers on one device. I had previously hooked up a USB hub to the Xoom via OTG cable and was disappointed to find that inputs from two PS3 controllers registered exactly the same. Instead of input1_down and input2_down .. it was simply seeing keypad_down from both controllers, which made multiplayer impossible unless someone was willing to use a keyboard. (Perhaps a wiimote would have sufficed, but I couldn't tell you. I know a USB 360 controller registered as exactly the same inputs as the PS3 controller did.)
Using this app one controller can be inputting keypad_down, etc.. and another can be configured to use aswd and a few others, and yet another somewhere else on a keyboard's letters and symbols (or camera, volume, etc. buttons). It elegantly solves the multiplayer issue, up to 4 controllers.
It's $1.62 when I nabbed it, absolutely worth the cost and finally a pressing reason to root.
As far as games compatible with it, they would have to accept up,down,left,right, etc.. natively. It appears you can use the exact commands available to the Play, so you should see more widespread support for controllers in future games, and you should pester the devs of current games that don't support it to get with the program and add support for the Play, since that will kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks guys! Guess I will have to pick up a PS3 controller today

Sixaxis Controller problem!

Has anyone gotten the touch profiles to work with the Xoom? I can connect my sixaxis controller just fine, but touch profiles don't seem to work at all. I have created a profile, selected the profile, and set sixaxis controller as input device. I've tried it in games and touch test, but nothing at all. Any ideas?
Oh, and I've tried in both ICS and Honeycomb ROM's.

same here also on a motorola device ... mine is the motorola triumph ... i tried maping the keys through input mapping ... i succeeded until i got to the analog sticks ...everything else works ... reload, shoot, aim, switch weapons etc ... any idea on wut we should do ??

Same problem here. I can play with games that have key mapping, like Shadowgun. But not games that require touch mapping like backstab, mc3, ect.

.................bump?

Was'nt this a problem of a pervious version?
Since last update touch-profiles are working fine on my Xoom 3G (MZ601).

wut version r you using ??

Since yesterday I'm using version 0.4.0 (newest version from market) - and all seems fine... only function I miss is to emulate the g-sensor (and disable the real g-sensor) to get it working with NFS Hot Pursuit...

Can someone tell me how to get the buttons to work oxΔ#, start ,select. I can move but can't use the buttons

sixaxis help
This thread --> Sixaxis controller is here! <-- was started by the author of the Sixaxis app. He's really helpful and responded to me fairly quickly on here. I'm sure you could email for assistance also.
Also, where in Shadowgun is the gamepad support? It must be blatantly obvious because I can find it anywhere within the game.

I had this problem too when i went to ICS, but after updating from the market everything is fine

Thanks, I looked at this thread but could't tell if this was an app or the xoom could support the controller natively. Thanks

Which Controller or Remote works with RemixOS Mini?

Hey Guys!
I bought a Remix Mini and I'm very Happy with Design, Performance and Features. Now I only need two things but I didn't find something yet :/
1. Which Controller Works with RemixOS Mini? (Gamepad) I want to play Android Games and emulated Old Nintendo stuff. It would be great when This Controller also works as a remote/Mouse to navigate through Media Apps and Remix OS Settings. Do you know which Gamepads Work with it Well? (Bluetooth, WiFi, Funk,...) I didn't find a "Perfect" Solution on Google and other Forums...
2. Is there a remote I can use for Media Apps? For example for Kodi, Live TV/IPTV and other non-game-android-Apps? (Similar to a mouse but more comfortable)
And another question I have to ask:
My Mini has a Problem. When it's shut down or longtime on Stand-by, I Can't Wake it Up with Touch or Mouse click. This Touch function only works the first 1-2 hours. After that time it only works when I Switch Off and on the Power cable. Do you know what's the Problem?
I'm very thankful for answers!
Nice Greetings

Air mouse MX3 and KM800 works well. Can purchase it on ebay.

Game ctr: Tronsmart Mars G01 ( bought in 2014.. still working great)
everything else ctr: Air mouse named flymote
Cheers

I need a remote similar to the fire TV remote because I use the remix mini as a HTPC. I prefer a simple remote with few buttons- Play, fast forward and rewind buttons. I don't need a keyboard or trackpad. Which remote will you recommend?
Thanks for your replies.
