not worth 25$

Cmon its really good if your not taking your notebook anywhere and you need to write some fukin long mail or something I thinks its really cool and good... 25$.. yeees its not so for everyone but for a business man its really gooooood

Yeah
But Bluetooth Headsets don't work in 2.2 or 2.3 ROMs so I wonder if this will be the same. It'd be good if it linked to the phones wifi.

This bluetooth keyboard doesn't work with Android 2.1, drivers on CD added with keyboard are for Android 1,6. With CM this keyboard will propably work.
I had this keyboard for a few week, but doesn't work with LG, iPod Touch and similar devices.

hmm, it seems interesting... Maybe I'll buy one.
Is there anyone who has used this or similar keyboard before?

Cant you use any bluetooth keyboard?

I bought this:
http://www.miniinthebox.com/ultra-s...2-0-rechargeable-keyboard-silver_p211557.html
With 2.3.5 CM7 rom you got to have BlueInput software to use it.
With 2.2.1 Utopia that I have now you can pair it directly from the settings>....Bluetooth menu.
It's an HID device (the keyboard) and all such keyboards need HID support from the phone's ROM.
Why I bought this?
I've got one laptop and one netbook.
I never carry a laptop with me. I use it instead of a desktop.
I may carry the netbook and may not carry it when away from home.
When I'm at home and want to lay on the sofa, usually the netbook is occupied by the kids (+ it is heated pretty much).
So I prefer to use my phone for some surfing around the forums etc.
So bought this and is very very practical, although it does not fold.
If you want to buy a keyboard with a brand name eg Freedom Pro (which is foldable) with ssp protocol, there's KEYPRO app to do the pairing and key mapping if I remember well.
This was my first aim, but finally I tried a much cheapier solution.

Sorry for the bump, i searched for over 3 months for a good bt keyboard but all of them cost 30 usd + shipping, so, it's not worth it

but it's big! it isn't portable! right?

I've spoken with mike gapinski (dev of ICS for GT540) and he said, that in ICS there are drivers for pad from xbox, ps3 and apple wirelesss keyboard

I'm using this keyboard when i play ps games on FPse. This device removes problem with multitouch. Keyboard works on SwiftDroid, PCF's CM7, Mike's ICS and I think on most of 2.2+ ROMS. Battery leasts for 48h, so when phone is charging you could play long hours. I bought it for 15 $.

Looks funny but why spend that amount of money for something that will probably be useless to you?

it's not useless - as I said - i play on this device PS games. Without this keyboard you can't use two or even three different keys in games. I think, taht in games it's very helpful.

Looks interesting but If you have access to a wlan sending sms with airdroid is ok.. and cheaper..

WiiMote and BT keyboard and mouse - do they work?

Just wondering whether any users can answer those questions for me?

I've just tested the WiiMote, and I can tell you - no, they don't work. Damn manufacturers modifying their BT stacks to left and right... :-(
Will probably root my phone and test that other WiiMote app that requires root. I'm hopeful for it working. Our phones is the perfect "gaming console" for retro gaming if so ;-)

Oh, what is the Root-requiring app? I've not come accross it...
*off to Google to find out*
EDIT: Ah, found it, still doesn't offer HTC/Samsung support. Shame.

Correction: Lg‘s screwed their bt stack so hard that third party software can‘t use it. its barely usable with sony ericsson liveview

so... when (im in no doubt) we get say Cm or modaco rom could we use a wii mote or bt keyboard or will it still be " locked down"??

It'll work with CM, but I don't think Paul's Modaco ROMS usually change the BT stack, so I wouldn't expect it to work there.

Call lg support regarding this they said that they hadnt heard of the issue yet. The more of us that alert them of this ****ty nonstandard bluetooth the more likely they are too fix it. When i told them how other phones with the same broadcom chip had been "fixed" with third party roms they escalated my ticket. Also please remind them that the hardware is capable of usb on the go and software that supports it is an edge in the market in theese hd days.

I've sent them an email regarding this problem. I'll call them tomorrow too...
We need proper BT drivers!

both bluez ime and gamepro in combination with a zeemote bluetooth controller work fine.
so it's not entirely impossible to work with the optimus 2x bluetooth.

The problem is that the drivers deny low level access to the hw
Btw nice to know other people keep telling lg to fix this

a newb question I guess but I havent got an Android phone yet, this phone will be in my ownage in a couple of weeks :happypanda:
wont this work with this rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014929

@hobs0n: No, won't work
After talking to LG it doesn't really sound they care...

Ah shabby So the only ones that can change the BT stack/drivers are the manufacturer for the phone? like LG, HTC and so on? Does the WII controllers work for other Android phones??

Does anyone have a BGP100-gamepad and knows if that works on our Optimus 2x? As Wiimotes don't work, maybe that gamepad would be usefull... at least with a SNES-gamepad mod it would be perfect for the SNES emu.

Not the BGP-100, but the Zeemote BT Gamepad.
Both are running only with GamePro driver.
The driver freezed while trying to connect with the gamepad.
Even my BT mini keyboard doesn‘t work.
Both were running fine with the Galaxy S.
So at this time there is no way to connect gaming hardware.
And if anyone is thinking about PS3 controller. No it doesn‘t work.

The new GamePro driver is working fine with Zeemote JS1
And has support for further Gamepads:
- iControlPad
- Act Labs Gamepad
The iControlPad is to expensive, but does anyone know the Act Lab Gamepad ?

This is just sad.. !
So there is now way we can hack in a proper USB driver? or do we have to w8 for LG to release one?

I really doubt that LG will release it. After talking to them it doesn't seem they care about the problem at all...

Is this something that might be different on the more stock G2x?

[DEVS ONLY] I Have a Dream...

Hi everyone
I have an idea..and i want to share to you all, especially with DEVS.
I hope i'm writing within the correct section first of all
So my dream is to use our mobile phone as PC.
Let me show you the idea..
I was thinking to install through an application or something like that (i mean also with a dual boot) an OS like Ubuntu.
How to use it?
we have wifi for internet access
bluethoot for keyboard and mouse
HDMI port to share the video
furthermore we have two camera (for example to do a videocall with skype)
3,5mm jack port for headphone
and also the microphone
Usage could be this. Link the phone through HDMI port to a display (i mean a monitor for computer)..turn on the mobile phone with ubuntu and connecting keyboard and mouse through bluethoot and in the end start the internet connection with the wifi...the display of the phone should be keep turned off (for temperature..energy consumption etc)
I think that some smart DEV will be able to do that. So why not? I'm sure i'll use it...and our Optimus Dual should be beyond a phone..also a PC!
thx for reading.
Maybe this idea could seems stupid..but for ppl that love technology and modding..it's an awesome way to use the own smartphone

Im mising my HD2 so much, that im honestly considering getting a tablet for the couch and a used HD2 for everything else...
The Tegra 2 chip is awesome, but, for me atleast, it's wasted on a 4" screen.

on modaco there was a thread of someone trying... you can ask there... i don't know if i can link the thread here... but you can find it in the 2x section

Remembering the days of windows mobile... xD

If you want a near-pc-experience you have brought the wrong phone. You should have brought the Motorola Atrix. It runs a distribution of Ubuntu which is customized by Motorola. You could eat your heart out with that phone...

Well, if we wait for icecream port (of cm ) then we should have an acceptable experience when connecting 2x on through hdmi and use as input Bluetooth mouse/keyboard.
I certainly hope so!

gaming controller for emulator

I was wondering if there is some kind of accessory for the optimus 2x, thats like a psx controller or something to use for playing psx emulator on
something like this for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycUH7N9ZsfE 1:08
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLB7zyWrVnY
could both be wireless and not, dont really care as long as its working good and not expensive

Hi,
Do you know any PSX like gamepad ( like this one http://phonejoy.weebly.com/buy.html as you shown in the video ) that would work with bluetooth and lg o2x (CM7) and that have a docking system to hold the phone on the gamepad ?
Is wiimote app restricted to wiimote or works with psx bluetooth pads ? Which app should I get if wiimote app is not good?
edit : answering myself:
App for bluetooth remotes : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hexad.bluezime
There is name of gamepad compatibles in the app description !

where can buy a bt pad for x2 in Italy or Europe ?

Where can I get a BT game pad on internet (or Europe)? I can't find any?

I am making one from a BT keyboard with a joystick shell, will try to post more when I get home tonight...

I remember reading somewhere that Wiimote drivers does not work on O2x. Is this true?
Has anyone tested the phonejoy controller on O2x?
I'm buying a O2x and want to play emulator games with it.
One idea is to buy a mini bluetooth keyboard and use its guts for a game controller.
Anyone tested this or some similar working on O2x?

Aren't there any good bluetooth gamepads that works with cm7?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App

Lots will work with CM7 - Phonejoy, iControlPad, Datel Retro Wireless Controller, regular Wiimotes, PS3 controllers...

They work with CM7 and all the other GB roms, they do however not work with Froyo roms.

The wiimote drivers dont work with the O2X i tried the other day most apps for close and the others just dont conenct to the O2X.

anything new about this?
it would be great if somebody find a way to use a "ps-like" controller
.... or a cheap usb mini keyboard
best regards,
bikerboy030

ps3 sixaxis controller works on miui (and cm7)

I tried playing riptyde with the WiiMote but there is such a huge input lag (it's way worse than the wii lag which doesn't seem to bother many people) that it is completely unplayable.
This could work for turn based games or something similar but even then it would bother me too much.

HDMI + Bluetooth.

Hello, a couple months ago i bought this wonderful phone, i used it for some time and is the first cellphone that i really liked from day 0, i also have a Nokia N900, wich is an amazing machine, quite deprecated even with it's 32GB of internal storage and wonderful 5Mpix camera but this one took me some months to stop not wanting to throw it to the wall.
The Samsung galaxy Ace 2 i think is also a bit crappy compared with the LG 2x if we let battery life on a side. (3~4 days) And took me about 3 or 4 months plus several rom flashings to get it to work correctly and not annoy me with odd behavior..
Sadly a friend of mine lost his phone and as he liked the LG, really diskiiked the N900 and the Ace 2 was working really really bad i gave him this wonder of technology.
After about a month he bought another one for his wife, so now they both have an LG 2x and i am stuck with the Galaxy and a Nokia N900 photo/video camera.
I have not bought again an LG 2x because of this two issues that i think are really really important.
If i can't use HDMI, i really don't care to have the 1080p video recording capability, and if the bluetooth is not working i'm really not interested in go out listening music with a hanging cable around my neck and body.
So, i really like the idea to have EVERYTHING on one place and leave the Galaxy and the N900 inside a drawer at home.
I know if i stick to ICS i could get all working, but i'm now used to 4.2 and would'nt like to go back...
I know that these two things must be very complicated to fix, otherwise, someone would figure it out already.
But my question is... ¿Is there any chance that somewhere in time someone could fix this?
What's needed to fix them?

My dear friend
I fully appreciate your point....infact everyone does....everyone agrees that we should have everything for what we pay for
But just a small thing....you are not a newbie here...Have seen you have a reasonable number of posts....please ask the moderators to shift this to a relevant section.
I am sure we will get to the points which you are concerned about in the near future....until then we have to wait
Thanks

Hi there,
I'm not quite sure, for HDMI , developers are unable to fix it without something that's from nvidia,
For Bluetooth, I heard it is ..forgot what it is called, toolchain? The newer ones cause Bluetooth not working correctly on our o2x, need a lot of work to fix it. Our o2x is too old for now.

About HDMI... you can use ICS stock to have the HDMI rotation or you can use Ultimate app rotation to force the rotation screen on your device.
Bluetooth.. like others devices after the change by google from BleuZ stack to bluedroid a lots of problems have been found.
If you need bluetooth and HDMI use ICS rom
