CM7 latest nightly (39). Dalingrin's 4/13A kernel with the 4/14 ALSA update.
I bought a wiimote off ebay in the hopes of getting it to run with some of the emulators for android.
I turn on bluetooth and try the following programs:
Rwiimote
Wii Controller
WiimoteController
In all three programs I tell the nook to look for a device. I press the 1+2 buttons on the wiimote. The four blue LEDs flash. All three programs seem to see the Wiimote (found 1 controller, wiimote connecting, etc.), but all three then pop to the same screen
"Bluetooth pairing request"
Type PIN to pair with "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01". (Try 0000 or 1234.)
I've tried every combination of 0000-9999 and 1234. It won't let you click OK without entering in text. I can enter in a letter, then erase it and then hit OK, but it still doesn't seem to pair.
The unit appears to be real nintendo hardware and is engraved with the nintendo logo. On the bottom, it is engraved with RVL-003 made in China.
Any ideas?
Turn Bluetooth on. (Cm7 only)
Open WiimoteController.
Hit Init and Connect.
Then open up the battery casing to the wii controller, click the small button that saids "Reset/Reconnect/Connect, etc..." (little tiny dot)
This will begin the pairing process, you shouldn't need a pin or anything.
Try that exact process, and if it still doesn't work i'll try to help. But, i've only been asked for a pin when trying to use the bluetooth settings in cm7 and not the wiimotecontroller program.
I do that, and I get:
Initializing...
Searching...
Found 1 wiimote(s).
Connecting
that's where the Bluetooth pairing request screen pops up.
If I try to enter any code (or no code) it spits it back out to the main WiimoteController screen where it says
Connected to -2 wiimotes.
Setting LEDs...
All 4 blue LEDs on the wiimote continue to flash
Then it says
Done...
Polling button data...
Stopping the polling process...
Stopped.
The whole time all 4 blue LEDs flash on the wiimote.
I see... Well that's quite a pickle, maybe someone who has played with it can be of better help. Unfortunately I don't get that problem at all and I just ran through that process with an official wiimote and chinese knockoff. I'll play with it some more and see what I can figure out.
Sorry =(
Edit: Maybe try turning off bluetooth and then hard resetting. And then turn it back on and see if you get the same result?
Still no dice.
I do appreciate the help though!
Very odd. After searching the web a few times over, I couldn't find anything describing your current issue. In fact most insisted that once wiimote applications were used, that they didn't require a pin. Very strange =|

The exact same thing happens to me. I went with a NYKO (didn't want to spend the money on an official wiimote in case it didn't work). I went through that process a dozen times, took out the batteries, hard-booted, etc. Twice I got it to pair, but as soon as I touched a button, it would lose connection. I also downloaded Rwiimote, which also "says" it is connected, but the 4 lights would instantly start flashing again. I thought it was because I bought a knock off, but Gin1212 says that they got their knockoff to work.
Maybe we have the same problem of it recognizing it as 2 wiimotes? Mine also says -2 found, and when it has paired, the bottom 2 lights were lit.

I am having the exact same issues as above, line for line. Although, using wiimote control, I have never been asked for a pin.
Try using an app that has Wiimote syncing built in to see if its a application issue. Snes9x EX is one that I can confirm works.
perhaps you should try to completely erase any previous trace of the device pairing and start from scratch with the directions where you press the little button.
I'm going to try this when i get home tonight.
I had to chime in when i saw this quote:
"I've tried every combination of 0000-9999 and 1234"
that is some due diligence... i don't believe you, hahaha j/k man, you've got some perseverance if you really did, i would've just said f it and deal with the on screen controls
Alright, figured out my problem. Perhaps I should have read this before dropping $20 on a knockoff.
From Wiimote Control's FAQ...
I have an unoriginal controller (like Nyko's for example). Now when I connect, the phone starts polling the data, but shortly after times out. What to do?
Unfortunately, unoriginal wii remotes and classic controllers cause issues such as abruptly disconnecting and misidentifying themselves. It's best to stick to original Nintendo hardware. The only confirmed piece of equipment that doesn't cause issues is the Datel's Retro Wireless Controller so if you've confirmed that your device works with WiimoteController app, you're safe to purchase either this or the original Nintendo controller.
Now I feel dumb. I don't think it helps the original poster who said he had a licensed Nintendo wiimote.

The FAQs for the app say that "unoriginal wii remotes and classic remotes" cause this exact problem. I wonder if they are referring to older gen wiimotes. Maybe that is what you are using?

Friends, ANDROID dont have support do Bluetooth HID ( keyboard, mousees, etc) till now, it will be included maybe on 3.0 "Bluetooth Supports A2DP, AVRCP, sending files (OPP), accessing the phone book (PBAP), voice dialing and sending contacts between phones. Keyboard, mouse and joystick (HID) support is available through manufacturer customizations and third-party applications. Full HID support is planned for Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).[49] "
in " wikipedia Android_(operating_system)"

I have Wii motes from the original product launch, and don't see that issue. In this case I think "classic" means the little gamepad device you can plug into the nunchuck slot.
mine will pair, i see the buttons being acknowledged in wiimote controller ime, but seconds after playing on an emulator my wiimote shuts off and i have to take out the batteries out to try and re-sync. any ideas?
reply on solinar
I think Huawei didn't make a skip button because the most bluetooth devices that need a code don't have no code such as the wii, I think you have a Huawei because I have the same issue on a old Huawei phone
“The newer Wiimote RVL-CNT-01-TR shuts down immediately upon receiving any HID output report if it has been turned on using the 1 + 2 method, although it works using the sync button. It is possible that authentication is now mandatory for the 1 + 2 temporary sync”. I found this article somewhere on the Internet. I think it might help.

Is there a way for me to use a regular PC Bluetooth keyboard for my TyTN II?
I have this keyboard that would really work well with the device.
It would prove to be a really cheap alternative to the keyboard that is made for the PDA's, plus, it would make alot of things alot easier.
I would assume you must make a program that can read the signals made by the keyboard, but is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bluetooth is Bluetooth, no? What happens when you try to pair the two devices? That's a sweet idea, by the way.
I think this might interest you as well. There's a way to connect a BT mouse to WM devices. I found it on Handango.com, although, strangely, it doesn't show up if you select the AT&T Tilt as your device (but it does show up with any WM5 device).
BlueMouse
I'm going back to grad school soon, and am loving the prospect of carrying 3 small devices that (almost) do the same thing as one heavy laptop!
EDIT: Just read through this thread, and WM6 actually has native support for BT mice! Except for Microsoft's own BT mice... lol. However, I think BlueMouse supports them.
Have a look at this link for a cheap alternative :
http://www.amazon.com/Stowaway-Ultra-Slim-Bluetooth-Blackberry-Handhelds/dp/B0002OKCXE
Buy it while stocks last, I would have brought one but I live in the UK and shipping will be too expensive along with any other taxes they may want to add unless one of you guys can send me one.
Pairing
I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard with an integrated touchpad. But when I try to pair them, my device just doesn't find the keyboard.
Although I find it amusing, I believe it is even slower using a bluetooth mouse for my phone, than actually using the touch function
But we are atleast on the right track.
For now, I use pocket controller for using my keyboard. But the downside is that it's slow and you need your device connected to the computer at all times.
Imagine using a regular bluetooth keyboard! What a dream ^^
Have you tried using a regular bluetooth keyboard that doesn't have an integrated touchpad? There could be something about that configuration that WM can't handle.

Assuming your PC BT keyboard supports the HID profile (it probably does), it should work with the Kaiser right out of the box, as the WM6 Bluetooth stack has HID drivers built-in.

Ok. Now my device actually finds the keyboard, but I can't connect it. When I click connect, it asks for a password. I enter nothing, and it continues to where I can select the purpose for the keyboard. When I press finish, my device tells me that the keyboard wants to connect to my phone. Now I need a password to continue, so therfore I enter a random password, like 1111. Then my device waits for a few minutes, and tells me the keyboard has failed connecting.
I have a DiNivo Edge keyboard, if it's any help
Any ideas?
Thx ^^
Maybe...
Maybe I need a specific code, or a way to make the keyoard agree to the connection.
Difficult
Try 0000 -- that's almost always the default password for BT devices.

Sorry this may seem stupid, but have you got the user maual for the keyboard? Or tried the manufacturers site if not? They may have a general config for it (PC and WM device association key will be the same).
Otherwise, look around the keyboard (and even in the battery compartment of the keyboard) for a four digit number to try.

No, it doesn't sound stupid Sometimes even the smartest person forgets the simpliest resolutions
But I have already tried that, except for the battery compartment. I have no idea how to open it, cause it's an internal rechargeable battery. But if there is an opening somewhere, I'll take a peek inside for a four digit number
Thanks!

Don't,
I've looked up the Logitech Dinvo Edge and it looks as if it comes with a proprietory BT USB dongle for PC connection and all setup is done through an install CD (for the PC).
Do you have the CD because the 4-digit pin may be on the setup instructions. Failing that, it may be best to go to your first post on this thread and edit the title to be a bit more specific such as ' Logitech Dinvo Edge BT KB, working anyone?'
Give it a go.

Now, two months later, I am still clueless about how to get this working. Anyone having better luck than me?
I think you should enter your own passcode first on your PDA, and quickly typing the passcode on your BT KBD while PDA is waiting..
I could connect with Apple BT, Microsoft BT kbd..
Recently picked up the G Tab, flashed Vegan and am thoroughly enjoying the device and its capabiliities. I have an old Think outside Bluetooth foldable keyboad. Up until this point i have used it with my HTC Touch Pro 2. I am able to search for the device and the G Tab finds it. It even lists " Think outside Bluetooth Keyboard" in the bluetooth device list. The problem is when I go to pair it asks for a pass code. I have tried both the 1234 and 0000 recommendations but each time it tries to pair it fails. Any assistance in the matter would be appreciated.
PS I have a wireless HP RK906 portable keyboard that works instantly when the receiver is plugged into USB. It is a great keyboard and others may be interested in using it- in terms of portability though i hope i can get the Think Outside keyboard to work.

I've heard many of the Roms are picky of what BT keyboards work. I myself would like to get one that runs on TnT Lite

------------------------------
Here is how I got my Menotek flexible bluetooth keyboard to work on Vegan 5.1.1.
1. Download and install blueinput from the market or find it on Google.
Other bluetooth keyboard software will probably work as well.
2. Turn on your keyboard and press the connect button on the keyboard if there is one.
3. Turn on Bluetooth under settings, wireless & networks and scan for devices under bluetooth settings.
4. Goto settings, language and keyboard. You will see two entires for BlueInput.
Place a check mark in the first entry and click on the second BlueInput entry to get to settings.
5. Click on the spy glass to search for your keyboard. Select your keyboard from the list. This will pair for you.
6. Exit out of settings
7. Long press on any text input field and select Input method and select BlueInput as your keyboard.
I had a few problems with non response at first and had to reboot, but it eventually worked.
Not tested on other ROMS, but should work if you can enable Bluetooth under wireless & networks.

Thank you for the help. Seems like i am getting closer but here is what is going on. Installed BlueInput fine. It finds my Think Outside Bluetooth Keyboard fine. I am able to pair with it as well...even press the CAPS and NUM LOCK keys to turn them on and off in the menu. Here is where it gets strange. It won't type in any field, including office suite. Within office suite when I try to select input method bluetooth keyboard is not an option. When i go to Language and Keyboard settings BlueInput is listed included the settings...but here is the catch - when i select BlueInput im giving a message that says, "This input method myb be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data..etc" but when i press ok it wont select the method! I can hear keystroke sounds when i press buttons but still no typing on web broswer or office suite. Any ideas? Hmmmm!
I am having the SAME exact problem.

I have a Think Outside Keyboard that I use with my HTC Inspire.
- Turn bluetooth on
- set ThinkOutside Keyboard to discovery
- when your device finds your keyboard touch it to pair
- enter 0000 on the device and then 0000 on the keyboard
it should pair up without any problems.
Good Luck!

I have a stoway ultra-slim keyboard made by Think Outside and finally got it to work. At first I used the Blueinput software and I got it to work but not very well. It had quite a bit of lag and I couldn't use any of the 'FN' keys properly. I then found a program in the android market called "Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect" and that worked perfectly for me. You may want to check it out to see if it helps.

Bluetooth work is still in development. Check the Dev forum for the bluetooth thread - the latest info I've seen shows a video of a NC paired with a BT keyboard and working quite well.

The bluetooth apple keyboard worked for me. The connection seemed fine but I didn't test the range.

It should work. When you get to pairing, make sure you type a code into the keyboard (say, 1234) and then type the same thing into the text field that pops up on the NookColor and say OK. It should pair up from there.
Hope that makes sense!

There's a guy on eBay selling refurb units. When all's said and done, you'll be paying about $50 ---- which is much better than $70 plus tax.

Well I bought a slightly defective Apple Keyboard (the i key needs a hard press and I'll take it to the local Genius bar)
I've cross tested the keyboard on my laptop and it seems to me that the Bluetooth on the NC is a bit buggy.
I get a lot of repeat keeeeeeeeeys when I hit a single key. This appears to happen at random, but does not happen on the laptop.
If I backspace, it will often wipe entire sentences. Again, no such issue with the laptop.
There is also a bit of lag - keys entered take a moment to appear when entered.
I'm runnng CM7 stable version.
Any suggestions or comments?
i have both the 3 battery and 2 battery apple keyboards. The older 3 battery keyboard will connect and pair but won't type anything. the newer 2 battery ones work fine. connects and pairs but lets me type as well (no doubt the point)
so get the newer ones and you'll be fine.
Yep, I can type okay as have a two battery version, just these random bugs that I don't get with my laptop.
I'm thinking that its down to the Bluetooth software on the Nook.
Anyone else have a view?
so, do you have to be running CM7 to get bluetooth working?
also...would this keyboard work for any android device? I actually do a bit of typing on my phone (editing documents via dataviz docs to go), and as such I need my physical keyboard (still have d1). Then again, I could do my doc editing on the nook (i currently don't cause I hatehatehate onscreen keyboards)
it's not working on mine
i'm running CM 7 on my nook color and it was able to pair with the keyboard (apple). and said connected as HID device, yet i couldn't type anything. i tried using the bluetoothJP but it was unsuccessful. I read an article about updating the kernel, i did update the kernel and now my NC won't start at all.. any suggestion?

do you have the old 3 battery version or the newer 2 battery one. I'm guessing the 3 battery one. if you have the former it most likely won't work. my 3 battery won't work on cm7 but my newer one will. bt is still a bit buggy so maybe this will change once the new .32 kernel is stable. I haven't heard or seen of reports of the newer 2 battery ones not working. what version of cm7? 7.0.3 stable? I've run mine on 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
ahhhh.. no wonder... i dont know that there are two version of apple keyboard.... i guess i have to wait.. i run the 7.0.3

Please explain, i've tried it so many different ways and nothing still works.
I'm using a Rocksoul apple type BT keyboard (http://www.myrocksoul.com/bluetooth-keyboard-bk-series.html) I got from Fry's for $34, and it seems to be working fine (incidentally the RS website says they have an android version but I can't find it anywhere).
I assume that since it's designed for the ipad, it shares many of the pros/cons of that device. Here is my quick summary after using for several days:
* It pairs just fine as long as I typed the same access code on both the nook and keyboard (as instructed by a previous message).
* I have to turn off wifi when using BT.
* The biggest annoyance is when the screen times out, I lose BT access. The best way I've found to reconnect is to reboot my nook, which is a hassle in the middle of a meeting.
* I use Inkpad to type in the notes, and it is annoying when the onscreen keyboard pops up (have to touch the onscreen back key to make it disappear).
* I can't seem to find a way to have capslock stay on. So to type a word in all caps, I have to shift each character.
* The keyboard has many apple-specific keys that do not seem to work with the nook including: option, command, control, or all of the function keys.
* Surprisingly, the volume up/down key works.
* The arrow keys work, but not in the order I expected. I have to reorient myself when using (eg. "left" means "up")
Overall, for the price this is a good keyboard. I also invested in a $14 ipad stand that I use to prop up my nook and it works nicely (http://www.targus.com/au/product_details.asp?sku=AWE65US)
Using latest CM7 nightly 177.
I have the logitech bluetooth keyboard for ipad and have been using it for several months. BT and wifi work at the same time. I have not had the disconnect issues described with this kbd but I have my screen timeout set to 30 minutes. I am currently running cm7.1 nightly 160 as I was experienceing wifi disconnects frequently with newer nightlies. Not sure what the issue is but 160 is rock stable for me. The key mapping is the same for logitech kbd as for the apple kbd. Most of the function keys are screwy but all the regular keys and number keys work well. There is a problem with the caps key but not a major issue for me. The logitech kbd was $69.00 so a bit higher than most but this is a very solid kbd. The android model came out a few weeks after this one but I decided to stick with this one as it does it's job for me. I use this kbd in conjunction with usb host mode so I can use a logitech usb mouse as well. Overall, the combination works well.

it pairs fine with my Archos, and the nook (flashed to CM7-177) detects it and attempts to pair but never finishes.
any ideas? do I need to "unpair" from the archos (which is in another room with BT off and I power cycled the KB...)
I am having the same problem. HP touchpad keyboard will not pair. Also tried it with my LG Optimus V phone -- won't pair with that either.
My NC is running CM7.
The phone is rooted stock android.
Any ideas?
Download bluekeyboard jp in the market, its free. My nook would detect the ipad keyboard, but would never pair with it until I downloaded bluekeyboard jp.
hope this helps.
To pair, type in a code on the NC, then press power on the keyboard, then the code, then enter.

Are you referring here to the Apple Wireless Keyboard? If yes, would you mind giving me the exact steps you're using to make it work? I've tried everything, including using bluekeyboard jp, it says connected and paired, I choose it as my input method, android keyboard disappears, message tells me not to touch my keyboard as it's connecting, and still nothing happens when I try using the keyboard. Am I missing something obvious?
Edit: got it working, don't know what I did that made it finally happen (except ask for help). Had tried so many times. Happiness!
I got one the other day from OD, it paired up after a few tries, I didn't enter anything on the keyboard, I just entered 0000 as the code. If it doesn't work, keep powering it off and rescanning. I'm running CM7 as well.
Would definately like to figure out how to remap the WebOS buttons to android functions.
Hello XDA Community!
I own a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 (Android 4.4.4). When I connect my xbox 360 controller with an OTG cable, nothing happends. I've tried to connect it before I start a game and while in game. It only starts blinking and nothing else happends. I can connect a keyboard/mouse to my OTG cable and it works like a charm. Is this a common problem? Can I fix it somehow? I've tried to follow some post which led me to download .kl files which I put in /system/usr/keylayout but it didn't change anything. I really want this to work.
Is there noone with any knowledge about this problem?
Hello. Your phone may not be powerful enough like a tablet to be able to run Xbox 360 controller.
And most of the game will support this out of the box without configuring like on PC games.

Well, in this video you can see it works with the i9300, I have the i9305.

And I can see my controller show up and read button activity inside "USB/BT JoystickCenter GOLD".
Basicly I think the controller communicates with my phone, but my phone doesn't understand since it's missing something?
Yes it's funny as I also got the samr model as you. Did your controller flashed rapidly like mine did? Left/Right bumper should swipe to different pages and the d-pad should select the icons you work. This didn't work either.
Try a Bluetooth controller maybe?

Mine flashed rapidly (like they always do.) and my problem is also that my bumpers doesnt swipe pages or select any icons. I have no bluetooth controller and I can get x360 controller to work with apps, such as USB/BT Joystick Center GOLD. But I dont want that, I need "native support" or w/e you want to call it. I want it to work with limelight to play games.
