OK, granted I don't know much but maybe this thread can group peoples Ideas on a suitable controller for the captivate.
I know the WII Controller app currently doesn't work for us, but we do see that the controller hardware does offer the opportunity to pair with the phone over bluetooth.
I guess the first step is to successfully get the pairing, is this possible somehow? would a successful password hack make it happen?
I guess second would be to have it recognize buttons in a keyboard fashion to work with most emulators.
I know the developer of the existing wii controller app has said we probably get his app working, and I don't blame hime for not trying to get every phone to work, but i feel there is enough talent here to maybe get our own solution?
Or, if anyone actually has a better solution to the hope for an external controller, please help us all!
Wait the WII app does not work for us? I was about to hit BB :-(
Unfortunately the test app didn't work for me, and the developer has the captivate on the list of phones that currently are not compatible and most likely will not be compatible in the future with his software.
Ouch :-(
Not good news but better than me buying the wiimote for nothing.
I am assume is a matter of time before someone comes up with one anyway
Has anybody tried pairing a Playstation 3 controller with the phone? PS3 + HDMI via USB cable would make a great portable gaming console for when out of town at family, etc.
I'd definately contribute cash towards getting a working driver if needed.
EDIT: Also, MSI has a bluetooth gamepad that works with the phone. Google MSI BGP100. My biggest complaint/concern is that the controller doesn't seem to be designed to accommodate a phone in landscape mode, so that's a bit of a drawn back for playing games on the go (as opposed to hooking it up to a TV or monitor, where it wouldn't be an issue).
I actually emailed the dev about future compatibility for our phones, he said it's samsungs proprietary bluetooth drivers that are incompatible with the wiimote.
If we were to flash a vanilla android rom or something, it would work just fine.

EDIT:
"Hello,
thank you for your question.
You're right about the frequency of these kind of requests. Newer Samsung phones unfortunately use proprietary bluetooth stacks (developed by Samsung) instead of the default that is in Android, named Bluez. That proprietary stack doesn't support the type of connection that wiimotes need to connect.
So, the only way currently for you to have this app working is if you get rid of that bluetooth stack. If you want to, you can root and flash your phone with a custom ROM. "Vanilla" ROMs have had success with other non-compatible phones in the past. Vanilla just means a type of ROM that is made from code that originates directly from Google, not from Samsung. One known creator of good quality vanilla ROM is cyanogen from xda-developers.com, but I don't believe his ROMs can run on the Galaxy (yet).
A friendly word of caution: rooting and flashing probably voids your phone's warranty and you also loose all the data (like contacts, app settings, etc) so MAKE BACKUPS before doing anything.
Best regards,
Piki"

So has anybody confirmed if this works or not with the Captivate?
I'm thinking since the wiimote wont work via bluetooth, no bluetooth gamepad will work.
Has anyone ever tried interfacing a standard controller through the microUSB port? Or custom building such a device?

It depends on the drivers otherwise no bluetooth device will be able to connect...at least that is how I see it.
no that the psx emulator is out and resedent evil 3 works perfectly, i would like to see some kind of gamepad, sucks theres no way to use a controller.. , is there even anyone working on getting this done???
Just wondering if any updates have been made on any controllers working on the captivate? Still no WiiMote connectivity, havent tried to connect anything through the micro usb. If anybody knows of a way to control emulators for the Samsung Captivate, Let us all know!

vibrant roms work with a few known and easily fixed issues with button logic. there may be other issues i cant remember but it is doable. as long as the vibrant is getting attention it should be enough.
Actually, hold your breath...
The Cog Rom has been using the original bluez stack protocol needed, and I am hopeful of compatibility soon...
Nothing seems to work still yet for the wii controller apps yet, but I haven't tried again in the last couple versions.
At least it seems we are headed in the right direction!

Wouldn't be too sure about that since he removed bluez after version 5 saying it caused more trouble than it was worth. It would seem the only hope we have now is for gdanko's aosp froyo. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815420&page=18
Indeed it seems aosp is a gamer's only hope for our beloved captivate... we need the non samsung proprietary Bluetooth stack.

Ok YAY I decided to get the Streak 7 vs the Sam Tab. Why? Dual core ftw. That is root and future ready right there. =)
So I will be joining this section too now to see whats up and learn and pass that info on to others too.
Btw for those using the 1 click root. I had to disable my AV (Kaspersky), Used 1.5.5 (not 1.7.0) and SOMETIMES You need to unplug and turn off the streak 7 and back on to try again till it works the root. In the end it will root.
Now to figure out which rom to use..
Good to hear that buddy. actually there is no ROM s, only tweaks. I'm trying the figure about compiling a ROM (porting of course). But, hey, how the DS7 is working for you?
Its working well. No regrets and N64 emulator works well on it. =D Also waiting on new custom roms, or more importatly. Debian or some form of Linux. I mean A dual core tablet should be able to perform decently. Or is there something now for Linux?

After looking around on other devices and prevoiusly owning a htc touch pro 2 and porting ubutnu on it, I have decided that this summer (I finish uni in 3 weeks) I would try putting it on the p990. At first i was going to do it by vnc however i saw this yesterday

Is anyone else interested in trying to make this possible? If so I thought I would get the thread going, the more people developing the better
I have been requesting this myself, so if this is made possible, I'd be a very happy man!
i would be very happy to help you in any way.
it was my dream to run a full linux on this phone (either meego or fedora).
i'm a heavy linux-user, but a noobie when it comes to android.
+1 On this. Does anyone know if there are people working on this?
instead of going for Native boot,why not try to run it in chroot first?I am trying to get it to run on a chroot envoirnment using VNC first..but till now no success.
Edit:Got it to work on the chroot envoirnment..If any one is interested then let me know i will post the instructions
If there really is usb host mode on this device (dont know why it shouldn't be), then running it natively could be really cool, even be of some good use to people. It's a pretty powerful device so. Drivers will get kind of hard to get though, especially for the gpu, or am I wrong? chroot isn't really that useful, so natively is the way to go. If only I knew more about this, I would help, but one thing, the bootsequence is already done for the DHD, so that part atleast shouldn't require much work to get working on this phone?
Edit: And if we get ubuntu running, there shouldn't be that hard to get a working meego on there either, whenever that's finished ofc.

I would never pay $800 for a N7 but I will pay the $20 for the wifi adapter and then build my own!
I work full time and am a n00b when it comes to Android development so any help or testing offers are greatly appreciated.
Holy sh*t they really over price that :/
You would need a WiFi adapter capable of doing your task. Most WiFi adapters are not compatible with aircrack-ng etc...
Also I know some programs listed need the drivers for the specific WiFi adapter used. Let's just say its not a beginners job, but hey, research and test and maybe it will be possible.

Thanks for the replies guys, I have a working knowledge of several of the tools used (aircrack-ng suite, reaver, john the ripper, etc). I have a few good wifi adapters that support packet injection, however I'm not sure about any Android capability. I think I even have the wifi adapter they sell with the Pwnie Express version but I'll have to take a look. If so, at least I know that specific adapter will work as intended via OTG cable.
adxgrave, thanks for the thread. I know that the aircrack-ng suite does work on the ARM architecture because I've run it from my Raspberry Pi before, however I understand that's not at all close to making it work on the N7. I'll keep digging into this topic this week and get back here with some more information.
Again, thanks for the replies fellas.

Even if android doesn't support air crack, I'm pretty sure it does, as I had the alpha app waaaay in the past, you could just boot up Ubuntu and use air crack from there assuming there are Linux drivers for your adapter. Remember, using air crack to crack pass codes is against the law in many places. *unless perhaps you are trying to crack your own to try to increase your security defences on your network.

We are currently working to have the image available soon. You'll want to have a nexus 7 32GB / 4G in order to load the image .
So I have an Nexus 7 32GB but sadly not the 4G how hard do you guys think it is to remove the 4G part of the rom?
or do I have shell out $300 for the stock Nexus 7 4G still cheaper then buying it together from the Pwnie Express.

Basically unless someone can get the atheros drivers working on the nexus 7 all this discussion is useless. Pawnpad has already done that.
Everything else is simple as you can use deploy linux to run kali or your own distribution for all the tools.
The broadcom drivers could be ported (they already work well on the samsung S2)
However much better to have the atheros usb adapter as the range is much greater.

no need for multirom. simply install linux deploy from google play and inside the program choose kali linux as the distribution that you want to use.
Linux will run on top of android and use the Nexus 7 connectivity. However you can't inject or monitor, however you can presently do almost everything else like use metasploit, arpspoofing, etc...

Couldn't you just plug in an Alfa and use that instead of the built-in wifi?
The Android sticks have USB WiFi and USB-LAN support out of the box. Funny they throw in a few $5 accessories and repackaged it as $800. Wow.
When I test work, I like to test with a mobile devices since they run on batteries and typically a "worst case scenario". If you can connect with a less powerful device then everything else should be good to go.

On the Indiegogo page for the Ubuntu Edge, you can see a video of a proof of concept for the Ubuntu Desktop.
She used an app on a stock Nexus 4 (if I remember correctly, she says AOSP) and just launch it like that on Android and sent it to the screen.
Am I the only one who find this more amazing than running Ubuntu Touch on a Android phone ?
If you take a look at the size of the ARM Ubuntu version, you have a 500 MB file and I was wondering how Android can just load like that Ubuntu and run it along Android ?

As you point out, the video demonstrates a fully functional version of Ubuntu for Android. In the IRC channel, Ubuntu VP of engineering stated that U4A requires the Android OS to be modified slightly. I'm hopeful this process is unveiled soon and U4A becomes publicly available. It likely won't be very smooth on current commercially available hardware, and there's not really enough storage on an N4 to make it very practical, but it would still be nice to get a glimpse of computing convergence.
Thank you for your answer, is there any way to have access to this discussion ?
It seems pretty smooth on the video, which is surprising when you know the current hardware limitation on Android ...
For the storage, the cloud allows you to only download the file you need so it might not really be a problem.
I'm currently thinking about building a NAS to use it as a storage and download platform, it might be a custom solution for this problem.
Another option is my linuxonandroid project, see it as ubuntu for android but with just a one man team doing it in the spare time
Big plus side is we support a range of distros and are not limiting to Ubuntu
EDIT
Also note that the nexus 4 is a device I use and our up and coming LoA ROM will be on the Nexus 4 before you know it

Just like my project they do not use a VM, they use native Chroot, which allows Linux to run on the Android kernel from within Android.
SO you get normal access to hardware and kernel features and no performance hit.
Then for the sharing its a mixture of both OS's having access to the same storage so music and files are viewable from both.
For app data shared acrossed it simply requires so work to pass this across from one side to another, something that could be done pretty easy and I have started working on myself

Okay, cool. I am extremely interested in this and I am a developer as well, so if there is anything you need tested or anything I can help you work on, please let me know.
I have a rooted Nexus 4 with sock jelly bean on it. I have played with installing Ubuntu Phone on it a few months back, but went back to android as I felt extremely limited in Ubuntu Phone.
I have the SlimPort® SP1002 from Amazon coming today. As I said before I would love to run it without the lag of VNC.
