[Q] USB Gamepads - G Tablet Themes and Apps

Anyone had any luck getting a USB gamepad to work?
I know about the Wiimote, and that works fine. But I have plenty of old computer gamepads lying around that I could use. I tried a few, with the Gamepad IME app, but they don't seem to work (unless I'm missing something).
I'm on Vegan 1.5.1.

Wait for Ice Cream Sandwich
Firstly, you are not on vegan 1.5.1...you are on 5.1.1. I don't think Vegan Tab has great usb support, perhaps the caulkin+clemsyn rom? Try it out and let us know. I know Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to support all sorts of USB devices like xbox controllers and such. Cant' Wait!

Hrm...thanks, maybe it's not just me.
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Thrive when it comes out, which has Honeycomb. Maybe that will have better support.

Have you looked in the Gtab android development forums lately?

If you have a 360 controller and a kernel that supports pads, Google xpad.ko and view the xda thread.

I downloaded a native android game from the market called "crazy snowboard". With it installed on two andros devices that teesside in the same wifi network; you can set one device as the screen and one as a controller. This is extremely bad ass with my g-tab & evo. ZERO LAG.
Why is there no app that will do this system wide!?

The information on that page doesn't really do a great job as a walkthrough. :/
Then again it wasnt meant to be one.
Is anyone willing to make a more user friendly version? I'm sure the community would be extremely grateful.

I realize, I could have Honeycomb on the gTab, but it's not something I want to do at present. I don't mind changing ROMs, but mostly I just wanted to get to a good one and stick with it.

Vegan-Tab Gingeredition + latest pershoot kernel *.42 (http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2142) + xbox 360 USB pad. I don't know if the analog sticks work, but all the buttons do!

is there any reason why this wouldnt work with a froyo kernel like vegan 5.1?

The kernel modules aren't pre-built for that with the kernel that comes with froyo. Had to use the latest pershoot. Don't know if that kernel would work with froyo....

[THINK TANK] Porting Drivers from previous Bluez Bluetooth Stack to Vibrant?

I know CyanogenMOD is most likely going to be implementing this stack once its comes out on the Vibrant, but Im wondering how difficult it would be if we could port just the old bluez stack to current TouchWiz based Roms like bionix?
Is this is easily feasible? Has it been attempted? If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on this matter then lets fill up this tank!
2.2 will have everything you are asking for. Once we a leak or anything we can port we will have bluetooth hud.

Ive read in the i9000 forums that 2.2 will have bluetooth hid but bluez drivers will still be missing so apps like the wiimote controller will still not work. so im wondering how arduous of a task it would be to implement that specific stack.
In that, I'm not sure.. But I'm sure someone in here has an idea

Not sure, but I had asked this in a couple threads and no-one really had an answer. It does seem possible, but I think the Samsung BT drivers are not compatible with the bluez stack and that is why we still have no wiimote support.
The only option right now is cm7. Wiimote works great on my vibrant. Cm7 is still a little buggy, but very useable as a daily. The bugs right now aren't nearly as bad as the ones that have already been resolved in the day the cm7 vibrant developer has had his vibrant.
Try it out. Having wiimote support has been great, though I can only really see myself using it at home, when I'm near my wii with emulators.

Please, hear our claims! We really want to connect our wiimotes.

Nexus S bluetooth imp=wiimote?galaxys?

Hi all,
I have heard that the Nexus S works with Wiimote controller.apk and that users are succesfully using the wiimotes with their devices.
I am under the impression that both devices have the same bluetooth and wifi chips, does anyone know if any smart person has worked out a way to get the Wiimotes working with galaxy S, or ported the drivers etc?
I am using DArky V8 and BT mouse/keyboard are working well.
bump bump bump
Bump. This would be nice to get working with n64oid.
subscribing and bumping! this will be the icing on the cake if we can get this resolved. And no CM7 is not the answer as tv out does not work, at least not at the moment.

I have tried tons of things to get this to work and even killed three rom load outs. simply replacing files wont do it.
as of now with a 2.2 rom you can see the wiimote and get all the way to where you are asked to use a passkey, but the passkey is not skippable. Also the apps that are in the market are no longer either supported or updated, but now that Galaxy S devices have the HID capabilities it would be nice if one of those dev's look at the device to get it to work.
Isn't it something to do with TouchWiz????
I think I read that somewhere
It works in cyanogenmod7.
Any progress

yes but CM7 is not stable yet.
I dont think any1 want to flash a new rom just to play some games with a wiimote and then flash another rom to use the "needed" parts of the phone, like the camera, 2g/3g etc.
To bad i would give a good donation if a dev would support this on the sgs
Any progress?

[Q] GMAIL from Honeycomb port to our TAB ?

Hey all here.
I`ve seen this post and i wonder if somebody can port this version of gmail to our GT. I like the new version. It has greate improovements.

Doesn't work like that. You need the honeycomb framework.

Specifically, most of the Honeycomb apps require support for what Google calls fragments, so without API support for these it would be impossible to get these up and running on earlier version of the OS.

Dave
I understand and many thanks for explications, but the music app the was ported for us isn`t from honeycomb ?

It is, but it doesn't use any Honeycomb specific APIs.

SPB Shell on the Xoom?

Does it work? Id hate to spend all that moolah and find its broken or slow!
It is a little slow, and really not that impressive from what I have read. I'm not impressed with it on my Epic.
There are a few other threads about it if you search for it. Maybe they are more specific than me.
I do not know if it works on the xoom but i downloaded it for my viewsonic Gtab and it works great! It is really cool, 3D style graphics and runs smooth. I would imagine it runs being as they both have the same processor? But,,,I have heard some say that it does not work on the xoom? Just make sure you do a refund on the market within 15 mins if it doesnt and you should be fine.

The VS GTab uses an older generation T2 than the XOOM (I think) so they're not identical. Runs on my Vibrant. Haven't tried on my XOOM.
meaning they are both nvidea tegra two cpu's.

I just got this on my Nexus S, it works great on my Nexus S, I doubt it would work good on the Xoom, I tried LauncherPro on my Xoom and it worked but the functionality seemed extremely dampered. Just wait a month or two before we see devs make launchers for Honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom
personally I really like the stock launcher, but theres the really screeching app drawer and limited screen number...
I have SPB shell on my DX, I sideloaded and it will not run on my Xoom.
I bought SPB and it works great on my Galaxy S, but on the Xoom it only runs in portrait mode and it's very pixely/grainy. I'm hoping their Honeycomb launcher comes out soon!
Gah I can't post a link to it as this is my first post! Google SPB Honeycomb.
Yes it does run but like he said the background is very pixelated but the foreground is perfect

That looks sick! I have SPB on my phone but don't use it as my launcher but I will definitely use it for my Xoom if they get it working like that.

you and one other posted these results of grainy background. i could not even get it to run at all on my xoom.
i wouldnt mind running it in this case anyways. does anyone know of any secret of getting it to run at all and not just be a black screen...?
I got it running on Xoom but also just had black screen.

I currently have it on my XOOM and it's working perfectly!! There's an experimental tablet mode that allows it to work in landscape just fine and I believe yesterday the app was updated!! It definitely looks nice on the xoom but the other version in the video above looks bad ass!!! I was also wondering to anyone who has purchased the application on the phone would I have any problems using it on my tablet as well being that it'll be purchased on my phone?? I tried it from an apk I found first because I didn't want to spend the money at first if it wasn't going to work. But seeing that it does now I don't mind spending the money! Please someone let me know! Basically how do I get it from my phone onto my xoom and still have it work?

Game Controller app for Froyo or GB?

Right now im using CM7 (O3D) and im currently using the sixaxis controller to play emulators. I would like to go back to go back to Froyo or GB but sixaxis only seems to work on CM7 (to my knowledge) is there another bluetooth controller app I could use for froyo/GB??
I went to use it on Froyo and GB and the only thing that stopped me was needing root (which I didn't/don't have) so I believe it works on all roms as long as you have root.
No I was wondering what controller app I could use for froyo/GB cause sixaxis app didn't work on those roms
Sent from my LG Thrill or is it LG O3D?? idk I can't make up my mind :-/
The one by Dancing Pixel Studios? I can't imagine it being so limited that it doesn't work on any Froyo or GB. I mean, the description does mention that it doesn't work on all devices and even offers the tester tool to find out but to be strictly rom based just blows my mind. I guess my question is what makes you think it doesn't work on Froyo/GB? You seemed pretty unsure about it.

I know it doesn't work because every time I start it up it reboots my phone lol and that's for both froyo and GB.
That sucks.
I tried it and it also reboots my phone.
