Hey guys,
The other day I was screwing around and I found that I can sinc my Wii Remote to my Tilt just like any other bluetooth device. I was wondering if anyone out there knows of any software that would alow the Remote to emulate functions of the D-pad and soft keys on my phone, so I can play my NES Emulator and other games.
hell yeah. That would be awesome.
cool what would be nice if there were a program or something that would make it a wii controller. but the reality is that it most likely won't happen because you'd need a motion sensitive device.
wii-mote or wm-mote
theres lots of homebrew stuff on the web to connect wiimote to pc via bluetooth , ive had my wii mote as a media remote before and it works very well, so i dont see any problems controlling a wm device with it
we dont really need the motion sensor or the accelometer but who knows now HTC have made phones with accelometers in
any ways here a link for anyone who could recode it
http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/
plenty there for a dev to get (blue)teeth into, lol
I like the idea of using it as a windows media center remote, did you have to resync it with the wii to use it ?
what i really want is to use my phone to control my cars steering........from 200 miles away
how bout using it as a girlfriend remote instead

Does anyone know if something like this is out, or if someone is attempting it? I think it would be a great app that many people, including myself, would pay for. I don't have the know how to try and make it myself, does anyone else?
I believe the ps3 uses a proprietary bluetooth protocol and the bluetooth stack on android is not fully developed. I'd love to see it too, I have a ps3 as well. I just don't see it being likely at this point.
Here is one more vote for a PS3 controller app! I don't use it for a DVD/Blueray that much, but when I would do it would be nice. Or to control the Music player VIA bluetooth OR uPNP maybe?
that would be crazy. i had a ps3 but sold it. waiting for something better by sony.even tho "it does everything." haha.
This would be FANTASTIC!!!! I know where my phones are at all times...my remotes...not so much.
I want this! I'd pay $$ for it!

agreed.... this would be awesome.
I would be all over a ps3 remote app. I hate the official remote, I don't want 30 buttons on a remote. That's the whole reason to get the remote, so you don't have a complicated controller. And stop should reboot the ps3 everytime you accidently hit it.
bump
does anyone have the know-how to make this happen?
ps3

That looks interesting but it relies on the Bluetooth HID profile. So it should do most stuff but probably not the power. Unfortunately it's for WM and Android doesn't have a developed HID profile yet.
I'd like to state my support for this. It would be very convenient, especially for movie playback.
Wishing that the Android devs can get the speed up to fully implement the Bluetooth protocol/-s, including neccasary HID profiles. That's one of the major flaws with the entire platform - the lack of proper BT implementation!
I would love to have this too! I had MobileRemote 1.1 for my HTC Diamond (WM6.1) device, and it worked pretty well - although it seemed a bit bloaty and unstable. I believe a fresh developed application for the neat Android platform would be much better!
add me to the list. I would also pay a little $ for an app that would control videos and be a keyboard. Wish i knew how to make this happen... I could use the money.
ive got a psp but no ps3 yet (the girlfriend said its my xmas present though) so i could control some things with the psp but id rather do it on my phone
id pay for it
I find it odd with as advanced and feature rich as android is we lack proper bluetooth support. I too would love to see an app to at least provide the basic functions of selecting music/movies and ff/rw.
Id spend a few dollars on it
android.bluetooth
Wonder if Android 2.0 (SDK out now, 2.0 in Nov '09) will help out development of one of this kind of application? The developers added a Bluetooth class to the framework. I think it's mostly for file transfering, but perhaps there's some other protocols supported here too?
Anyone with knowledge, please have a loop at this package.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/package-summary.html
EDIT: About 1 minute into this video they talk about Android 2.0 BT abilites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc
"Android 2.0 includes a bluetooth API that let's apps turn on and off Bluetooth,
discover and connect to nearby devices and send and recieve data"
The BT API now enables:
"Peer-to-peer communication"
It could be possibel as long as you can connect the phone to the ps3 you just have to figure out the keyboard commands to send. The ps3 does some bluetooth keyboards.
wireless keyboard app
Someone needs to make a wireless keyboard app for ps3 xbox macbook laptop etc
Is this possible? Is there a way?
first and final bump
yes it's possible... BUT needs a Dev to make an APP for it.
#1 - the kernel source code includes Sony PS3 Modules which state it'll allow you to power on/off your PS3 console, etc. They Need to be activated and kernel rebuilt.
#2 - Need a Dev to make an APP to allow it to control these features. PS3 uses bluetooth for controllers so it's possible to connect your phone to PS3 with limited capabilities...
If someone makes an APP for this, they might even be able to create an APP with an on-screen controller so you can control your games too! Maybe use the phones vibrate for force-feedback from games.
This is all possible but time consuming... Well worth the work to make it a Paid app in the market!
Looked around, I don't think it's been done for Android.
I thought fun app to code a PS3 bluray remote
http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html
That's like the opposite but could give good insight on how to do it.
But then, it's been done form Windows mobile. I would assume it can be done for android!
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:

Hi mate ...
Bt Controller does the job beautifully ... free in the market
'https://market.android.com/details?id=droidbean.btcontroller'
Just asking if there were a way we could use the keyboard as a gamepad similar to the xperia play's one? It could be great tu be able to use the keyboard to play games, and very much more user-friendly.
Thanks
Well in most emulators on the market, you can map the keys to controller buttons. I use Gameboy A.D. from the market and it's great with the D3 keyboard.

Sixaxis controller from market and a ps3 controller ftw.
Yeah, but for other games (native games for android) that's not possible. I don't have a PS3, i'm playing on a XBOX 360.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA
This is not what you are looking for, but this is great for emulators and such. http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm

With native games I just use sixaxis in "touch" mode and setup the profile to match the button overlay in the game. The controllers keypresses emulate touch events so it works 100% with anything that allows touchscreen or key(hardware button) input. You can have the controller emulate a touchscreen, keyboard and/or mouse so... a 20$ ps3 controller(any pawn shop has them used etc, just make sure it's bluetooth and not the 2.4ghz with a dongle) and d3 car mount screwed to it > gamegripper imo. Trying to upload you a screenshot of the profile setup, once you see that you'll know for sure it works with anything that runs on droid, including the home app/any app/game but its being stuborn, I'll get it up in a bit.
Edit: Uploaded that screenshot of the profile setup with my fpse profile loaded. The buttons aren't shown when playing a game or anything, only time you see where the button taps are position on the screen is when making/editing profiles so nothing interferes. sorry it took so long, used a friends laptop just to get them up lol. You'll notice I have the analog buttons overtop of the digital pad so I can use either/switch during gameplay etc
Using my amazing new HTC One Black to control my TV and it is great, however a lot of things I watch are played through VLC on my laptop and output to my TV via HDMI.
I noticed on ebay you can get these really cheap remote set ups for computers via USB..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280825953122?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
What i would like to know is do those computers remotes work any good? Would they control VLC? And could I emulate the remote with my HTC One???? All I actually want it to do is play, pause and stop really so that I can do those things without having to get up and go to the computer just to pause it etc.
Anyone know???
Thanks
Try Unified Remote matey, Got a Mousepad and Keyboard, but also loads of quick setting remotes that try different stuff like Media Centre, Shutdown, Volums, etc etc. I think there is one for itunes, VLC etc too.
Source? I use the pro version. Works with Bluetooth and Wifi.
http://www.unifiedremote.com/
Thanks that will probably work but does mean 2 different apps...
Would be nice if i could control the TV and play/pause the film I am outputting from the laptop via the HTC One remote app...
I will try the unified remote though, thanks again.
I suppose if the laptop has an IR Blaster mate, would be possible. As one setting in the In house remote app has microsoft. . . Ud prob need an ir blaster from a Windows Media Centre remote, Honestly though, try Unified. Its Brilliant!
Just installed it.. so easy.. already had a film playing and can now play/pause etc with my phone and HTC One TV remote is just one tap away.. outstanding... thank you very very much.. this is so good...
Can you setup the TV app from windows media centre?
Sent from my HTC One
