Or keyboard...hadnt really thought about it before, but i used to use a keyboard for gaming on my PC all the time. Anyone doing this?
So i went ahead and ordered an iControlPad and I will report back here what it can or can't do on my VZW gb tab.

Edit: just read in the comments for the 'Bluez IME' app which supports all of the controllers noted in the subject that it supposedly does work on a galaxy tab 7. Guess i will know first hand soon enough
yes! I thought I was the only one, I use my bluetootg keyboard witg enulators, and other games? Love playing doom and prince of persia in ADOSBOX. I recomend trying this out, thinkgeek has a pretty nice keyboard case for it which I use for gaming and typing this post, it does require getting used to. (i really recomend trying adosbox, it is great for classics. all Ive been doing the past few day.)
I was starting to wonder if anyone else had any interest in the subject. Still waiting for the shipment. Will probably look into keyboards soon...I would love to try some descent on my tab.

I ordered an iControlPad too and waiting for it to arrive. After it does I'll post an update on how it is. I plan to use it with fpse, gameboid and n64oid. I have heard that not many android games support buttons via bluez-ime.
My iControlPad came in today. Watch for a post of my impressions this weekend, maybe a few pictures while I'm at it.

It works! Had to jump through a few hoops which I will document here.

Sorry, no time to make a youtube video, but the steps are simple enough.
Once you have a control pad and the free BluezIME app that is available from the market, you basically just treat the ICP (iControlPad) as an extended set of hardware keys in the game/app that you would like to control with it. This means that the ICP is not actually recognized as an ICP, but in simple terms, as a set of 20 hardware keys. Once your pad is recognized and connected through the BluezIME app you just go into the custom button settings to assign what the function of each button is. I did this successfully with both FPse and snes9x EX, and I am certain that many of the emulation apps would be able to do this.
I was not able to get any applications that natively support the ICP to recognize it as such, which I am assuming is because of the restrictions/limitations that Samsung has built into the bluetooth protocols of their devices. EDIT: latest version of FPse did recognize the ICP without BluezIME! BUT, the fact that I was able to work around this with the BluezIME app and custom button settings in my apps of choice makes me very pleased with the purchase.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much to say about the product itself. It seems well built and I noticed no delay in the controls or problems with gaming situations that require pressing multiple buttons at once. It is about the size of an old NES controller and has 20 programmable buttons when used with the BluezIME app.
My biggest gripe with playing emulators on my tab in the past was that button combinations were very difficult with on-screen controls, and your hands just get in the way of the experience. This device eliminates both of those glaring problems. If you are into emulation, skip the wiimote drama because this is what you are looking for. Personally, I feel that this little device adds a ton of value to my tab.
I got one too and its great. Also I can use it with other devices like laptops and desktop pcs.
Can anyone confirm if this works with the wifi only version (p1010)? I received mine yesterday, and can't get it to connect. I've tried blueZ as well as some of the other modes for the device. Maybe you guys could help?

I bought the EVO Shift in part because I wanted to play emulated games. A company called Game Gripper makes these pretty cool attachments to use with physical keyboards. It is basically a button overlay that is shaped and functions like a console controller. I put a picture of one below. They have gotten pretty good reviews. If you are interested in the attachment you should head over to the Game Gripper website and put in a request. I don't know how many requests they need before they produce a Game Gripper but the more they get the better the chances they will produce one. The EVO Shift is actually listed on their request form so maybe they are developing or getting ready to develop one already. You don't even have to enter your email or anything.

Looks like they won't need to make phone specific versions anymore.
^ Shift Faced
Wow, that's cool. The only turn off for me would be the normal one is $15 and that one is around $50. I would definitly be interested in it if I didn't have a keyboard though.
True. But you wouldn't have to buy a new one if you got a new phone. I like that.
^ Shift Faced
But I'd much rather have a cheaper piece that just snaps on to the keyboard, then it doesn't require an app/having the bluetooth radio on. Emulators burn enough battery as is.
I put in a request for this this morning before even seeing this post. Looks like great minds think alike. I came from the EVO just so I could have a keyboard for emulated games...
I sent a request for it a while ago and they told me to keep checking that it would become available at some point.
Anyone have an update at all on this? I am dying to get a game gripper on my phone.
I just got a shift, coming from a Samsung Moment, and was trying to remember what the company was called making these. I don't think it took long for when they had the Samsung Moment request form up and when they started to make them.
I was looking at these earlier this week (I fell in love with psx4droid) and there is probubly no chance they're going to make one of these for the shift. I mean common, this isn't the most popular phone, I wish it was though.
Btw the emulators gensoid, n64iod, gameboid, every ____oid have all been removed from the market, but they are FREE on the slideme appstore. Don't worry they were put on by the dev, not pirated.
Pls click 'thank' if this helped!!
No I'm not using Tapatalk... I'm using the XDA Premium app, cause I got balls.
I have been using the Tiger emulators since they are free but allow you save states. They are still available.
I like the tiger ones better. And fpse is a far better ps emulator. Stuck with N64oid though.
Put in my request for one this would really be awesome.

Nice, hopefully they eventually make one for us. The Epic had one at this point in it's life cycle so we'll see.
Don't Think...
To my knowledge, when I play emulated games, it will only register 2 keys at once, I can push a third, but it doesn't do anything, even if I have it registered. I don't think a physical one is possible cause of this, but a bluetooth one (assuming we can find one that sends the correct frequency for those still stuck on the gb update) would work just fine.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I may just have a faulty unit, or there is something we can do like the epic users did to stop them from dropping keys when they typed too fast, that might help us here is I'm not the only one with this problem.
Intro:
I ordered this keyboard Dec. 6 and received it Dec. 10. When i ordered the keyboard, the shipping was free. So, the price was 19.99.
I've only had the keyboard for a few days, so this review will be short but so far, it's been working flawlessly and seamlessly with my Nexus 7.
PURCHASE
Aesthetics:
The keyboard closely resembles a mac keyboard. It seems to be made of plastic, but the area surrounding the keys is a very good imitation of aluminum. In contrast with the white chiclet keys, it definitely looks snazzy and not cheap at all. it's quite thin and low profile, but not small. It's not too much smaller than my laptop keyboard. I have rather large hands w/long fingers and i have no problems typing on this keyboard.
Function:
It was VERY simple to get up and running. It does require two AAA batteries that aren't included, so be sure you have some handy. After putting the batteries in. all you do is turn it on and sync it with your Nexus 7 bluetooth. Just follow the on screen prompt and you'll be set up in seconds.
Very easy to use, and the syncing is seamless. By that, i mean that it's the equivalent of typing on your laptop keyboard. There's no delay at all.
Also, all of my keys work perfectly except for the Home key. But, that may be due to my running a different rom.
Build Quality: The keyboard feels very sturdy and well made. No loose ends, creaks, or uneveness to be found. The keys feel firm to the press, and none of them stick. I have no doubt this baby will hold up for a long time.
Cons:
It didn't come with a case. This isn't a deal breaker, since it was 20$. So for the price, i'm VERY satisfied. but still, a carrying case would have been nice.
Also, like i mentioned above. the Home key does not seem to work, Though, this may be an individual issue since i'm not running a stock rom, but instead PA with Phablet enabled.
Overall: 4.8/5. Sturdy build, beautiful look, and seamless syncing all for right under 20$. Definitely would order from Anker again.
Also, it works with not only Android, but iOS as well.

So what function keys that is has that you confirmed do work?
^^ Well, the only ones working for are the volume buttons and play/pause button. But, like i said, i haven't read complaints from other Android users who purchased this keyboard regarding the home keys. So, it must be because of my rom. I run PA with the tablet interface which could very obviously affect the home key, brightness, etc. I'll take a thorough look at the Amazon reviews to see if there are any widespread complaints.

Hi EboniLM: I just recieved this keyboard for christmas to use with my galaxy note 2. It works great so far (I'm using it to type this) but I'm trying to figure out how to set up shortcuts. I'm running stock Jelly Bean. Have you found any good info on setting up shortcuts? I'm not sure where to look in the OSsettings or if I'd be better off running a custom ROM like PA, etc. Thanks so much for your help and review!
Is this battery operated or rechargeable.
It is battery operated.
And no I don't know of any solutions for the hotkey issue, as I haven't looked for any. It doesn't bother me since the hotkey that work are the only ones I need lol
But I'll look in my settings to see if the shortcuts/hotkeys need to be set up. I never even thought of that.

Not 1 Android news site has picked up on this yet, as its not really been advertised via press release, etc..
I think this is a pretty big deal.. but whadduiknow?
As we all know ios has been light years ahead of Android in the music production department due to the lack of
proper low/no latency audio sdk that developers could harness.
I play bass and have always been a fan of an app called Amplitube, (Ampeg) This is a real time guitar effects modeling software
that is pretty amazing. I have wished for years now that this would come to Android and everytime the developers have been contacted they have said that their hands are tied, Its not US its GOOGLE.. We do not have the proper featureset to work with in terms of low latency audio.
Well it seems that the wait is finally over, Perhaps Samsung finally got tired of Google dragging their feet for how long now to provide a real low/no latency audio solution..
I just found out about this by checking out the "Galaxy Gifts" page to see what goodies Samsung was giving along with the Note 4 purchase by noticing they are giving away a free copy of Amplitube le,.. I thought this was really strange. giving away a ios/windows app?
Then I saw this and really started to get excited.

This is great news, A real Low-no latency DAW with the freedom of Android I hope this is the kick in the ass Android needed for proper music production.
Im a drummer in a band my bass player uses an ampeg app on his ipad im defintly gonna let him know about this little goodie?
Great news but where is the amplitube app ? Cant find it on the appstore
Do you know if the standard Irig HD will work with it ?
Thanks !
Edit : ok, it's in the galaxy appstore and seems to be compatible with the normal Irig. Will give it a try tonight. Hope it will also come to the note pro tablet as it would be optimal with the 12.2 inches screen
I'm pretty sure low latency audio is part of Android L from what I understood from a panel at Google i/o this year. Maybe google shared the code with them early.

Amplitube le is on the galaxy store part of the free gifts,
another member has mentioned that IK is releasing a "irig HD-A" (for Android) in November which probably is
usb 2.0.
I can't find the app too bad used to use an irig on iPhone when I owned one
^ You can't find the app in note 4?
The app is in the samsung app store. I used the irig on my ipad so I'll give this a shot when I get back home. Wish they gave us all the amps tho lol. Thanks for the info!
Got the app but can't try it, irig doesn't come with micro usb cable =(
Ok, back to report the app and irig works great with my strat. Took a picture of what you need. This is great!
irig + 1/4" jack cable + headphones of your choice.

Awesome stuff - just downloaded. Great to see Android finally catching up with iOS on the music-making front.
We are definitely going to expand to other devices as more start to support Samsung Professional Audio but we also will be showing (and you can try it if you are there) near-zero latency Android audio for devices using Android 4.0 and above (so not even requiring Lollipop!). We announced this today on our site. I would post a link but I need more posts first

Anyone tried DualShock4 without ROOT? I can't get it to work
I have a Ipega9021 and it works fine also.
I live in Thailand and my options were a little limited but I bought a IPEGA PG-9037 the other day from a local online retailer, just got a delivery notification so will try it out when I get home from work
xiaomi works quite well but in dreadhalls, the look control should be on the R joystick. instead it's on the left D pad so a little annoying. Also the menu and back buttons don't work so on the gear VR i have to use the back button on the headset.
For normal games without the VR all the buttons seem to work well

I don't think you can use it without root, which is a pity. A dualshock controller would of been awesome for the VR.

See above, you need root.
Just a question.... Is there any development in the drone industry, especially within the Chinese drone manufacturer DJI where the main focus is looking into the code to see what types of data is being collected and sent to the Chinese Government? ...
Then or also has there been any attempts to root the drones and remotes so that Americans can controls where that data may be sent. Like instead of using DJI.s servers you can send data to your desktops home network through 5g. via different firmware and software that's customisable....

Are you using your own phone and the DJI Fly app or like the Mini 3 Pro with the RC (builtin screen).
If you had the RC you could (probably?) just never enable WiFi.
Nah, I don't own one yet. I'm torn between the Mini SE and the Mini 3 Pro and I don't buy anything!
I have a Mavic 2 pro the controller doesn't have a built in screen so i fly with Dji's fly more app.
correct me if I'm wrong, I herd that the drone its self uses a custom version of android for its on bord flight controller. I was wondering if anyone has thought about rooting the flight controller?

I'm not sure what benefit rooting the drone would be, but I'm always interested in analyzing things.
You'd think that they'd be enough semi-destroyed drones around to be able to do a teardown.
I can see the benefit of rooting the builtin hand controllers.

Well I blew $1,250 on a DJI mavic Zoom about a year-and-a-half ago and it has magnificent flight characteristics and it's a real pleasure to fly. Unfortunately, I live within two blocks of a no-fly zone and I never get a chance to fly it cuz I have to drive somewhere to fly it. If you do an extensive Google search on the Mavic and no fly zones you'll come across many links to companies that specialize in hacking software for DJI drones. I haven't used any of them so I can't recommend one, but you can certainly find out for yourself. Good luck and report back to us with your findings if you so desire.

I have the DJI RC Pro Enterprise. The hardware is identical to the standard RC Pro. For some reason, DJI has made this controller unusable with anything other than the Mavic 3 Enterprise. Here's DJIs letter to the FCC confirming the hardware is the same

How can I force this controller to be compatible with other drones? I've gained ADB access and can install apks along with logcat viewing and everything else. However, if you try to install the DJI Fly app it's blocked by DJI, even through ADB. Any help would be awesome!
