[APP REQUEST] Touch Pro/Fuze ps3 controler

Ive seen some apps for iphone and the nokia n900 that turn them into a ps3 controller using bluetooth and the g-sensor and i was hoping this was possible on my fuze. it would make typing much easyer and i wouldnt haft to constantly re-charge my controller instead just bust out my phone

Agree
I would also love this app, i just want it for the typing. Using as a controller to me would just be something to show off and not really use. i know the anio can do this so its out there, im just not good with this stuff.

I can make a GUI for this. But not sure how to go about making a bluetooth driver for the PS3

im a bit of a noob but couldnt you use a computer with bluetooth to get ther drivers for the controller? i know the drivers are out there because you can get them to use the controller on a computer running on linux

A program called 'MobileRemote' will turn your phone into a bluetooth 'HID' with Keyboard and Mouse support. It works rather well, and WILL work with the PS3. Only hitch is that it won't work when the PS3 is in PS2 mode. No love for FFXI. ^^;
It won't emulate a CONTROLLER, but it's handy for firing off quick PSN messages or poking around in PS Home.

mobile remote
the problem with mobile remote is that it costs me money i dont have
i dont see the use of buying something for a phone im about to change to a tilt2
which that app doesnt support

Ah, well the support issue makes sense. The cost however - (It's on sale on the MS Marketplace for $2 right now) - is peanuts compared to the usefulness of the app.

Bluetooth controllers?

Are there any bluetooth controllers currently compatible with the SGS?
I know I can use the Wii controller, but I don't have a Wii, so that idea probably isn't best.
Thanks in advance.

not really an answer to your post, but...presumably either way you'd also have to buy a Bluetooth controller so it's probably just as easy to pick up a Wii one?

I would prefer something a little more portable and cheaper if at all possible

From what i've seen, the Wiimote is not working on the i9000 yet.
Correct me if i'm wrong please. (And seriously, this time i want to be wrong)

If you can get a Wii controller working, shout me - I've been trying since I got my Galaxy with every different firmware/update combination - it's a no go at the moment.
Ryan Frawley replied to an email I sent saying it's down to samsung's bluetooth drivers being modified as compared to the standard Android drivers.
As I was writing this post, I checked my mail to look up Ryan's reply, and found a reply from Samsung to a mail I sent a few days ago (last friday I think). I will post the conversation in it's entirety here, I hope the employees at Samsung do not mind, as I do quote this without permission:
Hello, and thank you for your time.
I have a question regarding connection of HID devices and, in particular, the WiiMote (Nintendo) to the phone, through applications available through Google Market.
Applications (such as 'Wii Controller IME' from Ryan Frawley) using bluetooth to cennect to certain HID devices appear to be unable to connect to the bluetooth drivers (the application fails to connect, and does not appear to be able to get as far as searching for the device).
Are there any plans to update/fix the bluetooth drivers to address this issue in upcoming firmware updates?
Does the upcoming Android 2.2 (FroYo) update address the issue, and should we so wait until the release of the 2.2 update?

With regard to youremail, these are questions that need to be
redirected to Android, as we do not make the applications that connect
to the Wii-mote, and also have no information on the Froyo upgrade.
I hope this has been of someassistance to you. If you do have any
further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us quoting your 210-
reference number.
Kind Regards

My reply:
hank you for your reply to ref# XXXXXXXXXX.
I will try and contact Android customer service to expand on the query, but I have some more questions I would like to ask to clarify the situation:
- you state that Android is responsible for the applications which connect to the Wii remote. However, the Android version which is installed on the Galaxy will have been researched and developed by Samsung's own technicians.
The applications on the market are capable of connecting to the Wii remotes (and other bluetooth devices) on other Android devices - yet all applications have issues connecting through the bluetooth drivers on the Galaxy. Indeed, I have yet to find even a standard HID device which connects to the Galaxy successfully.
By it's very nature, Android is open sourced - anyone with technical know how should be able to view the internal workings of the operating system and (often in an attempt to fix problems like this) edit the underlying files.
It appears that the bluetooth drivers (along with all hardware drivers on the Galaxy), as supplied by Samsung are not open sourced. Nor do they adhere to the standards which applications on the Android market are able to connect to bluetooth.
This in turn points at problems with the Galaxy, and/or it's bluetooth drivers, which are, of course, designed and supplied by Samsung.
Please, if possible, can this issue be escalated to a technical team - I understand the issues of getting a problem raised within a multinational company; I work for one myself and deal with such issues on a daily basis.
I would greatly appreciate your help in dealiing with this issue, and getting help in raising it to the correct team/department to have the issue resolved, if it is at all possible.
Again, thank you for your time,

As usual, I don't expect much to come from this to be honest - my previous experience with this kind of query tells me that it'll get shoved under the carpet relatively quickly.
We'll probably be waiting until a proper Cyanogen ROM turns up, or someone gets either Ryan Frawley to patch up the application side (though I'd much rather the bluetooth drivers were standardised to begin with).
PS: Anyone tried a zeemote, mini bluetooth keyboard yet? I'm tempted to throw £30 or so on a keyboard/zeemote combo but I would like to know if it's something that will work out of the box or not.

I feel the need to bump this thread, since I'm so in need of this functionality.

Well, I got an update from Samsung. This sounds very promising, I hope they follow through with what they've told me:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics regarding your mobile phone.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in responding to your enquiry.
With regard to your email, this issue has been passed to our development team and has been raised with Head
Office as well. There is a solution in development and will be forthcoming shortly.
Please keep checking the website for updates on this issue.
I hope this has been of some assistance to you.

Raised with Head Office? Hmmm...

What about connecting a PS3 official keypad (the one you attach to the PS3 controller) to the SGS? It would be useful to use in games like Quake 2 and 3, that need a physical keyboard to play. Has anyone done this? I have tried and have been unable to get it working.
The SGS can see the keypad, can pair, asks for the password but fails to connect.

That's the problem with most devices - the SGS will see the device and it's MAC address when scanning, but won't connect. Usually "0000" gives a very quick refusal, where anything else (the only way I've found to enter a blank PIN is to enter a digit then delete it) gives a rather long wait with "Connecting" then a message telling you it failed to connect.
Most 3rd party apps don't work either, though I've had success with the GamePro app NZTechFreak used - it's the only app I've found on the SGS up to now that does work with bluetooth. I'm pretty confident KeyPro from the same company would work, but I don't have a compatible keyboard to test.
Up to now, i've tried:
Wii remote/classic controller (original) - SGS sees controller, will not pair
Bluetooth "I-Tom" keyboard (ebay) - Despite coming with android drivers, does not work. Same symptoms as other controllers, third party app does not detect nor connect to controller.
Datel Wii Classic Controller - same as Wii controller
Zeemote - Works with GamePro drivers. Zeemote does not pair directly with SGS, it's all handled through the GamePro IME drivers/settings
I'd like to see if a PS3 controller pairs successfully, but from what you've said I doubt it very much
e: The app in the post above only has support for some very specific keyboards. By all means try it, I tried each one on my itom keyboard but nothing worked.

{Howto} - Wanna play NES with Wii remote on your ThunderBolt? Here's how.

Ever since the my Incredible days I enjoyed toting a Wii remote on trips for playing NES, Snes and so on. I always envied the EVO for being able to do it with that massive screen. It ony really needed a kickstand and it be the perfect pocket gaming machine. Well ever since I got the ThunderBolt I hoped one day it would be possible. Thanks to Slayer and Cyanogen 7 Mod plus all the other hard working Devs this is now a reality.
Here We Go !
Tools needed
Must be ROOTED !
Wii remote MUST be OEM except the Mini Wii remote. :: Only ones I found to work, no Nyko's:: - Optional, this is not needed to play
Cyanogen 7 Mod :: I run update-cm-7.1.0-RC0.1, why? because CM uses Bluetooth Stack 2.0 unlike stock sense or other roms, Gingerbread Natively does not even run this that I know of.
Find it in this thread :: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049542
Nesoid Lite or Premium, this is LIte link :: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidemu.neslite&feature=search_result
Not needed if you don't have Wiimote:: WiiController for bluetooth connection find it here :: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&feature=search_result
ROMS :: FInd it.........Yourself, don't be Lazy or ask me, all of the above items are free. you can afford to find these on your own.
If you don't have a Wiimote you can stop right here and use onscreen controls with Nesoid.
OK onto the fun !
First things first, install everything
1. Turn bluetooth on
2. Go into keyboard settings in menu and enable the Wii IME for the controller
3. Go into a message or email, somewhere you can type, long press and select input method, then select Wii controller.
4. Go to your Wii controller app and select Init and Connect
5. Hit the Sync button on the controller ::located under battery door, red button:: or press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time. all the blue lights on the Wii remote should flash now. The phone should find your Wii remote and set player number 1 light to lit. Press some Wii controller buttons, you should see them register on screen.
6 Ok almost good to go, the settings are remembered from this point on, go into nesoid load a Rom up, hit menu on your phone, go to settings Audio/Video set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9
7.Back out one click and go to Other Settings, Check the check box labeled Use Input Method.
8. Go back another click again, go to Input Settings Uncheck Virtual Keypad check box.
9. Go to keymappings in the same menu tap under Pad 1 your button you want to input then hit the corrisponding button on your Wii remote.
10. Back out till you get to the game you loaded and have fun!
Other Notes ::
When you're done playing you wil have to go into a message and select your keyboard Input method to your Keyboard in order to be able to type again.
This setup can also be used with the Classc retro Wii remote plugged into the Wii controller.
This will also work with Snesoid, Genoid, GBA, N64oid, and PSX Emultators.
PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers CAN'T be used. Why? because I said so.....No in reality, Sony encrypts PS3's bluetooth protocol. So till a Dev releases a new App to decode it you're out of luck. Xbox 360 uses 2.4 GHZ Technology not Bluetooth so nope will not work.
Shout out to Slayer and his Wife along with all the other Devs working on the ThunderBolt. Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us Cyanogen 7 Mod and making things like this possible.
Credit goes to all the other Devs out there for making apps like WiiController and Nesoid avalible on Android
Only On Android.

Very nice write up. Thank you

I'm pretty sure you can set the Wiimote program to revert back to the default keyboard when you turn off Bluetooth or turn off your Wiimote. I'm probably going to do this at some point this week (or just wait for the "stable" CM7), since this is what I miss most from my OG Droid.

very nice!! I've been wanting to use a wii remote for a while now. thanx for the write up.

Wish I still had my wii now . Possible you have a link on getting a PS3 controller working with CM7? I've been looking all around and just finding all old outdated stuff.

You can't, far as I remember this has been dropped due to the security type Sony uses to encrypt the Bluetooth signal on Ps3 controllers. The protocol only recently was figured out where it can easily be connected on PC. So if even close to possible a dev would still need to develop a app capable of decoding and then recognizing inputs from the Ps3 controller.
before it's asked - Why can't I use a Xbox360 Controller? it does not use Bluetooth, it uses 2.4 GHZ signal.
You're welcome to all those that had success, I know how hard it is to find a detailed guide with setup info. Ths is what i figured out from my own tinkering.
As for Cm7 stable version, Cm7 is very stable, I had alot of issues with the new release but tried the .1 version from Slayer's Twitter and low and behold I had no more bugs and Cm7 runs almost flawless. I say almost cause I have not found any bugs yet but i'm sure there are some.
If Wii controller is able to remember settngs like tha let me know , i'll gladly update the guide.

Yea but the issue was you needed Glove Pie, a compatible bluetooth adapter, the script for Glove Pie. It was more a hassle then anything. Now I heard you can use Xpadder with a one click connect buton.

thanks for the informative write up I am gonna have to try this sounds awesome

Thank you for the write up! I'm running BAMF 2.0.3 at the moment but plan on trying CM7 sometime soon so I'll keep this thread bookmarked!

SIXAXIS PS3 Controller w/ NESOID/SNESOID

Got my Nexus 7, rooted, and setup the Sixaxis app with my PS3 controller. It works great with epsxe, but when I try to use the controller with NESOID or SNESOID, I can't seem to figure out the mapping issue.
Is anyone successfully using a PS3 Sixaxis controller with their Nexus 7 and NESOID/SNESOID? I'd love to know how you got the keys mapped properly.

Try using RetroArch, it's a whole bunch of emulators built into one. I don't have time to test out my controller right now, will probably do that tomorrow at lunch.

Hit your settings button, Settings> Other Settings, and make sure under "User Settings" that "Use input method" is checked in the individual emulator (like NESoid).
Once it is you can map it under Input Settings> Key Mappings by just pressing the buttons. Make sure in the Sixaxis app you have hit the "Change IME" button and set it to the Sixaxis controller. It works perfectly for me on NESoid, SNESoid, and GENsoid across all my devices.

Thanks, that worked. What was throwing me off is that when you go to map the keys, it says <unknown> instead of the key. Still worked, though. Rocking.

Thanks for the tip. I had set this fine once, but after data wiping I forgot how to set up again. Back to normal...

ok im having a little trouble with six axis and some emulators here perhaps you guys can help me. ive been able to map most of them pretty well but i am having a hard time with gbcoid and snesoid not mapping my start and sometimes select buttons correctly. i can get everything else to work but when i press the two center ones nothing happens. I end up having to touch the screen to use these and that can be a hassle. Any suggestions on how to map it so i can get full function out of this controller?

hi guys..
ps3 controller must be %100 orginal..? or can we use the fake\clone (compatible with ps3 game console) ps3 controller which cheaper than orginal..

This is the one I use, not official. Works like a charm.

MOGA

I am unable to get my Bluetooth controller to work on my HD even though they pair it just wont work. Read posts about others with same issue. Has anyone tried a Moga game controller on their HD with cm10.1 ? I bought an Idroid controller and it didn't work with my tablet or my stock LG Intuition so I think it was crap altogether. Don't want to have to buy and return another controller though. Thought Id ask here first. Thanks.

Yes, I was able to pair and use my Moga controller in 10.1. I had to shut off WiFi to get the initial pairing done (WiFi can be turned back on after pairing). This worked with both the pivot driver and the universal driver.

great. I bought the Idroid and it went back to amazon the next day. It would pair but only/connect in keyboard mode but neither of the gamepad modes which is what I want for deadzone. Ill order the moga. also the bluetooth keyboard im using sucks :<
