Control ps3 through bluetooth on your phone, I watched the stupid video

Yeah if a dev could be bothered to but might aswell just buy a ps3 controller lol

As stated, sure you could do it but realistically its a pretty stupid idea.

Nice way to seem like an elitist douche bag. If you clicked the video for two seconds you would understand what he'd like to have done. You seemed to go out of your way to type up your ass-hole post, would it have been much harder to click the video and get the gist of what he wants? Sure he should have said a brief description. Ever occur maybe his english isn't that good so he figured a video of exactly what he wants would suit better? This is the internet, just because you're some piece of **** behind your computer doesn't make you cool for being a **** head to people.
And I see your name says lbcoder. Do anything worthwhile, anyways? Every one is calling this a stupid idea. I wouldn't say it's stupid, but it is worthless for the most part. But hey, some people might use it. Too many people on this site need to chill out.

ROFLMAO! Now that was funny. But he has a point, when did this place become so hostile? I mean I would get it if the OP was asking something that was just answered a page back and he didn't search... Fine have at it. But there was no need to be rude. Maybe it is people like you that are bring the over all morale down and making less people interested in the community. Who knows he might be the next cyanogen and you just showed him all senior members here are jerks or atleast that could be his impression.

I don't know I have to agree with him. The English seems to be good enough in the title. And the OP very well could have written a small blurb to at least allow people to get the gist without clicking the link, even if it was in broken English. Looks like youtube spam or flat out laziness to me. Really worthless idea, as well.

do you answer like that in real life, for example in work if your colleague has an idea you deem worthless?
hopefully not. nor people should be doing it here. its just.. i dont know.. being well mannered?

What specifically can you control with the phone? Only thing I would be interested in would be a full DVD remote. I hate navigating the menu trying to find certain features while the movie is going.
BTW, I browse these forums on my breaks at work where youtube is blocked.

I would be interested in using my phone as a keyboard and "mouse" that would be sweet.

Yes, if a co-worker comes up with a ridiculous idea, I tell him/her right out that it is a ridiculous idea. It's not rude, it's direct.
So, you are telling me that people should not express their opinions on here just in case it may hurt someone's feelings? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a discussion with opposing views?
In my opinion, it brings no value to this phone to have it act like a Playstation 3 controller. An app that could access files on the PS3 (ie gmote) would be interesting, however.

Well, this app has more purpose than controlling your ps3 (which I have, btw). But basically, this app is able to mimic other bluetooth devices; from keyboards, mice, even a ps3 controller. the use for such an app is actually amazing. having an app like this means i don't have to buy that $40 keyboard attachment for my controller. furthermore, i wouldn't even need to buy another controller.
anyways, check out the dev's website http://www.valeriovalerio.org/?page_id=174
seems like the app is listed under open source. maybe some of our app devs here might wanna give it a try? I would myself, but I just started learning java last week. https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=765
last edit: i just attached the source code. it's written in python, so someone will have to convert it to android java

id be real interested in an ps3 app that i can use as a dvd/br controller so i dont have to spend 25 on a remote, and using the hardware keyboard and the touchscreen as a ps3 keyboard/mouse... because as pointed out, im a broke mofo that shouldnt have a smartphone or a tmo data plan because i cant afford to pay for a snes emulator atm...

Here's the official word from the dev himself:
Short answer: BlueMaemo can't be ported to Android. Maemo and Android are not compatible in any way.
Basically you've to write everything from scratch you can't use any of the BlueMaemo bits, first you've to make sure that the Bluetooth stack in the Andoid platform is already fully open, last time I checked it wasn't, thus impossible to make something similar to BlueMaemo .
Best regards,
Valério Valério

Local bible app?

Hey guys -
I was wondering is there a bible app that does not use the internet. It is a WIFI only Xoom and my church does not have an open WIFI.
All the ones I have tried from the market are not formatted for the tablet, and also use an internet connection.
Thanks.

I use Bible by Youversion.
While you're on WiFi, just download the version you use to your XOOM so you can use it anywhere.

You could also use www.acrobible.com

I use the NIV Bible from Tecarta. It works well on the tablet and has good navigation, but it crashes occasionally. The Bible from YouVersion is also good, as mentioned above, but the navigation is not as user friendly.

I use tecarta nasb. Works perfectly for me but it does cost money

I have NewVersion I just need to download it directly for offline access. I never knew that.
I cannot log in though, for some reason it does not allow me to input any information for log in. It's just blank. Can some one confirm they are able to log into the software?

Olivetree has a program called Biblereader that is the Cadillac of Bible programs on mobile platforms. The program itself is free, but the various versions cost money. The versions are portable to other mobile platforms, and there are tons of additional resources that are supported in program. The current android version is one major revision behind iOS, but they are working on releasing a new one soon.
All in all, it is one of the best study tools out there on any platform. Check it out.

Will do, I am running into issues with YouVersion.

I use the Barnes & Noble Nook app, and you can get any version of the bible, (N.I.V., King James. Etc...) for about a buck. Has chapters, works off-line, can highlight, annotate, bookmark, lookup words) even does the little page flip like on the iPad, love it.

A little off topic
I've been trying to get the people at globible.com to add the android tablet platform. Very cool Bible app and the more people requesting it the more likely they will push development.

I am not a huge Olive Tree fan but it if probably the best offline Bible. I read that they recently updated the reader so I should give it another try. I have in my Kindle app, too, but find the YouVersion app has the best search feature.

I love youVersions bible. Tons of translations. I bounce around KJV and NIV during study, sometimes KJV is a little over my head.
If you go into the list of translations there is a green button on the right to download to the device locally.
I attend a pretty old fashioned baptist church, and get some pretty interesting looks from the older folks when I break out the tab
Glad to see so many other Christians on here as well, it's exciting.
Edit:
I got a little excited and didn't read the whole thread. But I saw one or two people say something about youVersion and logging in.
Even though it doesn't show your email or passwords in the field, they are in fact being input. Just be careful and you should be able to login without issue. It took me 2 or 3 tries to get the UN and PW right.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm working on a Honeycomb optimized bible and note taking app and I could use testers and people to bounce ideas off of.
I love youversion on my phone, but I can't stand it on my tablet. So I figured this would be a cool way to learn a bit about Fragments and just expand my knowledge in general.

Thanks!

[Q] B&N Store Wifi @ Home

Odd question but does anyone know how to trick the nook into thinking it is in a Barnes and Noble. I'm not quite sure how the instore wifi is set up but if I could reproduce it at home then I could use the read instore to try out books with out leaving the house. Any ideas?

No, you can't. You have to be connected to their router.
BTW, your other post said you work for B&N. Why are you asking us?

Wow I think I only made one post before and you bring up something I don't remember saying from what would have been 8 or 9 months ago. At any rate I never had access to the router. I wasn't IT(not to mention ATT handles that.) At any rate it still seems like one could mimic the settings of the B&N Store access point so that the nook would think that it was in a store.

The settings are in the router, not the Nook. The store has software tracking who is logged in and for how long.

Yes of of course the settings are in the "router." Well most of them. The nook itself is programmed to respond a certain way to those settings or configuration. The trick is to find out what the settings are so that I can reproduce them which is the whole point of me asking the bleeding question. You keep saying the same thing which is so obvious that it shouldn't even be mentioned!

The router is running special software that you need to access b and n's database. If your router doesn't have it then it won't work. Without the router logged into the database you can do all the tricks you want but your never getting access. Also all the books might be stored on a local intranet which is very difficult to access

The book is the same as the books I buy, same key and everything except it has a time limit built in which locks it after a hour. The nook is programmed to purge certain files after about an hour though. As far as special "software" I will have to look into it. What brand hardware they are using, Mac address, SSID(which it appears they don't broadcast,) etc. It doesn't seem like "software" is the answer and there is no local DB onsite. LATER!

Most likely, when the Nook sees it's on the B&N wifi network, it authenticates itself to a server behind a B&N firewall that's only accessible from the B&N store network. You can't get to that server from the internet, so "tricking" your Nook by setting up your home wifi to use the B&N SSID won't do anything. It'll try to authenticate to the server, fail, and you won't get the access you're trying to obtain.

already thought of that. was going to dig through some of the files on the nook to force the "switch" to be turned on for instore but then relised that i don't really care that much. was an interesting idea...

I still don't think you're getting it. It doesn't matter what your Nook thinks. The B&N servers won't give you free books for an hour if you're not authenticated through their wifi network. The only way to get the free books is for your Nook to exchange credentials with those servers, and you can't access those servers from outside the B&N network.
You can tell a bouncer at an exclusive party that you're an important famous guy, but if your name isn't on the guest list, he's not going to let you in. Your Nook doesn't control the guest list, B&N's servers do.

I think he gets it now.....

No, everyone is not saying the same thing as you. It's just you. So far all you are doing is NOT getting how things work behind the scenes and yet still fell the need to say something(anything) so that you feel like you contributed to the conversation. Well guess what you did. It just wasn't helpful.
---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------
First of all you can take your sanctimonious attitude and shove it. Where do you get off... Secondly, THERE IS NO bouncer! There is No VIP room! There is NO flippin' guest list. Your analogy makes absolutely no sense! What the nook can see is dependent on several things but things can always be spoofed, changed or otherwise circumvented. As for the "B&N servers," it's the same server for everyone. It doesn't have special areas for people who happen to be instore. I would explain further how the B&N site(and yes it's just a part of bn.com) but really what's the point. You won't get it. Now if there is someone here that works for barnes and noble IT, someone who knows the ins-and-outs of how the nook downloads books, gains access to the instore content and so on please fell free to educate "Skunkeye." If you don't work for B&N in some sort of website/IT/tech side of the things then please don't post. This conversation doesn't really need to limp on without and reasonable answer or ideas.
And thirdly, I asked a simple question to which the answer wasn't really that important to me in the first place. I expected the question to be ignored but I didn't expect this kind of attitude for no reason. It doesn't matter The answer to the question that I posed really doesn't matter but if you dare talk to me like that again "I will hunt you down and hobble both your legs right above the knees."
See ya, I'm bored now.

Dude, its not going to happen unless you talk tot the guy who set up the system and get him to tell you to exactly how it works. No one here has that information.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned it but what he wants to do is theft. Even if the books are only trials, he's still stealing them, not to mention the proprietary systems he would have to have to get the books.

[Q] virus at work?

Way off phone topic.... I did not want to sign up for another forum to ask this question. I figure that there are enough corporate techies here. I received an IM from the IT department at work saying there was a virus on my computer. He took remote access of my PC and ran a scan revealing trojan files in multiple profiles under documents and settings of several user Id's. I Browse safe at work only known news sites and XDA of course. I dont even use this computer very often. My fear is that this may fall on my head. Given that it was discovered when i was logged in to the computer at the time. and I I heard no one else in the department say that IT scanned their computer as well. Needless to say I am pretty scared about maybe loosing my job, The only reassuring thing I have right now is that from what I can see the trojan did how under my profile folder. can someone shed some light on this situation. or point me in a direction to reassure myself that this is not my fault.

Are you 100% positive that it was the IT department IMing you? Kind of sounds to me like a prank or one of those fake antivirus software.

Err.....wow! I understand what you are going through mate. had the same issue with an ex-employee here that clicked on the wrong link and ended up with an ugly piece of malware in her PC. PC died and had to be replaced.
The only reason for you to be afraid is that "you" know what sites you visited or what files you downloaded otherwise there should not be any repercussions.
Now, if your company forbids in any way the use of the PC for personal use and you did so and ended up costing them money...I would highly suggest going to your superiors and talk to them apologizing for the incident and promising that this will never happen again.
Also....be aware of pop-up windows telling you that you have a virus or trojan and asking you to click on the "scan" button...that's how she got that virus

I am sure this wasnt a prank.... the took remote access to my pc and did some work nobody that knows me could have done. Your right MTM my only saving grace right now is that I know what sites i visited and i know what i have done. My work permits moderate personal use during down time. I dont know much but I know not to click any suspicious links. I am mildly tech savvy. The only thing i ever downloaded to a work computer is a zipped rom from this sight, because I killed my Evo once or twice at work. we do have a lot of down time.... during that time I can look around and see numerous people on facebook streaming videos and even watching dvds in the company machines I guess my work ethic does not undertand this. I know the hammer is coming down... I guess my real question is that if by chance i caught this virus would have showed up in my profile as well as the others because i did not see it in mine just about 8 other peoples profiles on this PC. Thanks alot for your responses. I guess paranoia and fear has gotten a hold of m e At the moment I am grossly underemployed at the moment and this job is misery but i am lucky to have it and really cannot loose it.
Oh yea and LOL on your thread cat

Good luck mate and hopefully there won't be any repercussions and if there are....an important lesson has been learned here, I hope
Cheers,

Chances are the trojans were in your temporary internet files folder under your profile and from the sounds of it other people who've used your computer have had it too.
I wouldn't worry about it, legitimate sites can get hacked and then infect visitors, or just get downloaded to temp internet files without infecting anything.

Same here...
My personal computer at home was infected two nights ago by a "Rogue:Win32/FaceScanti" virus/malware. The funny thing was the time/datestamps on the files (under the hidden AppData folder in my user directory) were during a time I wasn't even on the computer. I did, however, have several IE windows open on XDA threads. (I'm not big fan of how XDA pages constantly refresh in the background, either.)
Anybody else have something similar happen to them, or suspicions that it might have come through an XDA forum ad? I'm an IT professional, and VERY careful what I do and do not click on.

Strange I don't think that is what happened in my case but what do I know... I see people at work visiting sites on work machines that I would not go to on my worst enemies computer. My mind was eased today when I got to work and I actually saw some one on the pirate bay site . But I am still confused as to why the virus would show up while I am logged in but not show in My profile folders during the scan. oh well thanks for your input everyone
And I an not in IT to any extent and I don't click on anything!!!

Did you even bother to actually read to OP and the thread, or did you just read a couple of words and decided to post this pointless answer?
If the OP's company blocks hosting sites, TOR installers etc then I don't think simply trying to use https will acheive anything - do you?

ever try underget.com? I worked for me for a few weeks, until one day I tried it, and was blocked.
I was in a similar situation. I feel if my job is done, I should be able to relax *a little*.
I know employers will never agree, and that we should be helping others who cant finish their jobs, or go clean the office, etc..
You can always upgrade your mobile data plan, and download from your phone/device. Is there a free (unblocked)wifi in the area you could utilize?

That only works if the web filter is crap and the website is also running on port 443 which most don't.
OP now I'm with you, I used to work 12 hour shifts in IT at night and weekends, we used the office modem to play online games etc, and also watch DVDs.
You could talk nicely to your IT guys and see if they can make an exception for you.

Use your phone as a USB modem and download via that. If your company has blocked access to certain sites then you're risking getting sacked if you find a way to access them. Respect your company's wishes and stop trying to stumble your way around their security.
