Update! Got it working with Bluez IME:
1. Download Bluez IME off the Google Play Store and then the addon for iCade off of Google Code (located in info on app description)
2. Turn on Bluetooth and pair the controller.
3. Make sure input method is Bluez IME as SteppingSplash stated.
4. Select Device Driver as iCade (HID).
5. Now at this point, the controller should be good to go. It should be paired and connected with BluezIME. Just reconfigure the buttons again in the app (apparantly unknown buttons?) and make sure you enable special controllers in "other settings."
So far, tested and works with NESoid and Gensoid.
P.S. It seems to be testy when configuring. If you keep getting an error message about not connected, turn off bluetooth and try again. I hope all of this helps everyone with this controller.

Hi guys,
Just got the new iCade 8-bitty bluetooth controller from ThinkGeek. I'm not too happy with it so far. I am having massive problems trying to connect it to use with my devices/programs.
NESoid, SNESoid, GBAoid, Gearoid, Gensoid, Atarioid all do not work.
Mame4all is the only program on Android that works with it.
Supposedly, if you use the Android App Bluez IME, it will allow the controller to work, but I have had only minimal results with this. Many buttons do not work because I believe there is no driver for it installed. I thought I downloaded it and installed it, but I haven't been having good luck with it yet.
Windows refuses to connect the controller. Tried many different options. Refuses to connect.
Anybody smarter have better results with it than me? It seems to be truly for the ugh, BARF, Apple devices....
Do you have the input method box checked in your emulators? In the emulator, menu button>settings>other settings>"Use input method". That'll let you use a Bluetooth controller with the emulator.
Same problem here on Transformer Infinity. The weird part is that Snesoid will detect the key presses when I am in the key mapping settings section but then won't detect them in game at least not reliably. I found that if I hit a button furiously for a few seconds it might detect one key press. Oh I also tested with my Xoom and saw the same issues.
Oh and yes I have tried with the 'input method' both enabled and disabled and saw no changes.

Me too to the input method change...seems to just be "locked" out.
Same problem. You start to mash keys and it does detect one press. Hard to play Sonic the Hedgehog with only 1 input action per 10 seconds...
Well, I guess I should've not bought this. I'm going to return it if I can.
Yes I know Why does the key mappings screen work PERFECTLY in those emulators and in-game, no inputs????
Hey man, here in France the 8-bitty its really expensive! you still having problems?
I mainly want it for emulators, like snesoid.

Ok, after a few weeks I can tell you after setting up, the retro controller works great. Snesoid and the others work fine. (With BluezIME)
Still though, if you are worried over money, and if you have one lying around. get a Wiimote Controller w/ the Classic controller attached to it.

8bitty configuration
I tried your tutorial with my Nexus 7 but when I try mapping the buttons it says unknown in every emulators... How did you manage to map them properly ? In BluezIme it seems that the mapping is made for an icade stick controller... Thanks for the support !
Guys, I'm not buying this till I recieve from you 100% confirmation it's not a wasted buy. Otherwise I'm waiting. It's 65 bucks in France, SUPER EXPENSIVE!
I can confirm that this works 100% with Nesoid, GBCoid, Ataroid, Gameboid, Snes9x EX, Frodo C64, and MAME4droid on my Acer a500. I'm copying files right now, but FPse appears to have set up correctly as well. (Minus a few buttons of course) I'm working on Dosbox too, but it's being very cranky. The controller has a nice response time from what I've observed.
For people still having problems, this may be a solution:
1. Go into Bluez's setup
2. Click "Select IME" (Even if you've already set Bluez as your input method through the normal android keyboard and input settings)
3. Select "Bluez IME"
This was the problem I was having. I'd set Bluez IME as my input device within Android's settings. I had followed Dan's instructions, done everything he'd said, but it was still registering wxad key presses. When I went through Bluez's settings, I checked the IME selection and found that it was still set to English Android Keyboard. After setting that one to Bluez IME as well, everything started working as it should.
Thanks Dan for figuring this stuff out. I'm going to pass this thread on to ThinkGeek if you don't mind. I'm positive there are people looking to buy this who would benefit from the answers here.
Some emulators that work for 8-bitty without Bluez IME
The android aps "Nes.emu" and Sega "MD.emu":laugh: both work without Bluez if anybody is having trouble with it working. Icade setting right in the emulators.
I know that this thread is specifically for Android and thanks to the OP, I was able to get this working on my Droid X, but I was wondering if there was any way to get this working with Ubuntu? I've tried looking everywhere but nobody can seem to help. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I'd be so appreciative.
I just recently got one of these icade controllers too, and am having the same problem. I use an android based Samsung galaxy II, and I have both dosbox and Frodo (commodore 64) emulators on my phone with my games on them, and mame too but no roms for the mame ones yet. Ok, I had set up the bluetooth for the icade but still would not work on the Frodo one. Does anyone have any ideas for the Frodo one, how can this be set up properly? I am not an expert, but sort of basic to intermediate with these emulators, so this has baffled me. I am getting my ipad in a few weeks time, thinking I should wait til the ipad to use the icade, but would like to try further on my android phone. As for mame, not sure how to find the roms as the ones I had originally for ColecoVision console, I have absolutely NO experience in converting them to the pc so how do I get roms safely from others?
Can't get Bluez IME to recognize controller
Hi, is there anything I need to do with the nexus 7 or Bluez IME to get it to see my 8-bitty controller?
I turned the controller on and went into Bluez IME but when it scans for devices it never finds the controller.
Kyle
Hello there !
First of all, Excuse me if I do not express myself well, english is not my first language.
So I've bought the 8-bitty, and I have some problems with it. I've try it with mame4droid and SNES. At first, I've tried without installing Bluez IME, but I encountered some issues. For exemple, in the game, directions were wrong, my character was always going on the left, but the other directions where working (for the few I've tried), So it was not possible to play correctly. One time all was going well, I've played Street fighter II on SNES, and Metal Slug II on Mame4droid, all was ok. But the next day, the problems began again...
So I've installed Bluez IME, and wow, it's working in SNES ! But for Mame4droid, not working In the app, I can configure the buttons, all working great, but in game, no one respond... I really don't know what to do, and I find nowhere informations...
So if one of you can help me, it will be really nice
Thanks in advance ! (and I hope that my message will be understandable )
[edit]
Hello again !
I finally find a solution for my problem I use Bluez IME, but in the settingsof Mame4droid, I set "default" in external controller, instead of Icade, and now it seems to work perfectly
Forgive me for the forum necromancy, but this is the only thread that mentions the Nexus 7 and the 8-Bitty.
Its well known that in Android 4.2, they changed the Bluetooth stack. As a result, BluezIME and Wiimote connection apps were broken, possibly permanently.
I own the 2013 Nexus 7, and am stuck with 4.3. Is there ANYBODY out there who has gotten the 8-Bitty to work with any app on 4.3?
If not, can anyone recommend a gamepad that will work on 4.3 reasonably well?

Hi,
I've loaded SmartGear 1.0.4 onto my Diamond after reading that it's on a few people's "must-have apps" lists. I'm not having the easiest time setting up controls: how do all of you have your Diamond set up for controls for this or any emulators? The "touchscreen" controls don't do anything no matter how I set them in the TS settings, and setting the controls to use the directional keys does not work well at all (the up,down,left,right of the Diamond is NOT conducive to video game play!) Every time I hit the left key it hits the home key.
Is there a way to get the Touchscreen controls to actually work as game controls?
Thanks!
PS: I'm open to suggestions for different emulators too if they work better on Diamond!!
Nevermind, figured it out.
how did you fix this, i had same problem with another emulator?
Please Please Please tell us how you got it to work.
I tried everything and it just doesn't work.
I'm using the (shouldbe) newest v1.0.4 of Smartgear.
I know that no one has been on this thread in forever, but, how did you get it to work period?!?! I have it running roms and everything but it won't recognize ANY buttons, not even hardware... how do you get this to work? Or can you suggest a different emulator? (i've tried pocketsnes and it doesn't work)
Crap, sorry guys, I honestly don't even remember at this point... I took Smartgear off my phone 3 or 4 days later after realizing that the Diamond just isn't the best device for video gaming (other than games that use the G-sensor) due to it's lack of hardware controls. I honestly couldn't tell you what I did since I don't even remember what it looks like anymore!
The only thing I can remember that I had to play with is the video resolution. Make sure yours is set to "Fit2Win*" (the one WITH the *, not the one without!!)

navipanel is to work when you plug in your car kit to device. this panel opens to navigate during car mode.
i took a step further and made a navipanel.lnk in programs so if you don't have a car kit like me you can play with it.
cool and thanks for the explanation. i also googled it just to check out some vids. its from the new touch cruise so i found out and could be pretty useful

Hi Herg,
Many thanks for your great work. I was looking forward to find the VGA version, since I have seen the inst video at internet.
It works for me, too, HTC Diamond Official Rom 1.35
As you mention at the top of the topic, the panel is working with TOMTOM 7.915.
Because of the map quality for Turkey, I am using IGO8.3
Do you think will it be possible to integrate this panel with IGO 8, any chance ??
Tomtom 7.910 on SD card
Hey HErg.
I've got Tomtom 7.910 and I really don't want to change to 7.915.
I think my porblem is I've got tomtom running from SD card, rather than main memory.
Is there any way to have the icons use tomtom on sd card, instead of on main memory?
I think that's why the panel isn't working for me at the moment..
Thanks, great work..
Still hoping you guys will be able to get the running error out of footprints
Cheers

Shame
I couldnt get 9.15 to work on my phone. As soon as I upgrade it it tells me that my maps need activation. I'm told I need to patch the ttsystem file and tomtom.exe for it to work with my maps. That said... has anyone else had this issue. If you have the proper tools/advice to help me out please pm me
anyone else having concerns getting tomtom to install? nevermind, its something i installed thats not allowing it
Mine installs fine... I just cant for the life of me figure out why it wont let my maps work. Till I can get it working I'm back to .910
Just updated all the footprint files to the latest ones released today and wouldnt you know it the navipanel now works with tomtom.910. Granted after I push one of the navigation buttons, for example "recent destination" it says "you have not set a home location in the navigation shoftware bla bla bla.... I have.. but at least now those buttons work,
here's a question though. This is supposed to work when connected to a car kit right? Cause I have an bluetooth hands free car kit with an fm transmitter built in so that when I'm driving all my music and the phone capabilities are routed to the stereo in my truck. When I put the bluetooth on last night and it connected to the car kit this program didn't pop up. It was supposed to right? I have the settings set so that when it's connected it opens. Has anyone else tried connecting this to their car kits?
Thanks!
Edit: I just read the options.. it says auto connected when in car kit mode..what the hell is car kit mode if it isnt when connected to your car kit? That said... the second option is "Auto connect to your chosen default bluetooth device in car kit mode" Which I did manually. I must be missing something here! How do we get our phones in car kit mode or is this even possible on the FUZE?

not sure that option will work without being tweaked. the device navipanel comes from is the touch cruise and it has this option and actually comes with the cradle for it too. u can try google to see the vid.

To be honest I do NOT know... After dinking around with trying to install .915 a few times I went back to .910 and then I had installed the new files for footprint to work properly from the other thread and when I opened the navipanel and pressed the buttons it ran tomtom
I wish I knew what it was I did to make it work. But remember it gives me the note that says no recent destination has been made or no home address has been set in the navipanel. this doesnt effect running tomtom though
The version of TomTom .915 in the OP does not give me the option to install to internal storage. Any way to do this? It is too large to keep in the main memory.
got everything work now. this along with footprints is great!! thanks a lot herg!
I usually don't join new boards because I come of as a like a noob for the first couple of posts, but this place has become a new regular site I visit as I wait for a 2.1leak downgrader lol.
Anyhow, time for the reason of this post. I have been looking for a swype keyboard for the eris for sometime, and all I have been able to find is the open beta for Droid/nexus sized screens and the closed beta for everyone else. I did search here and only found skins for other phones.
So I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get swype on the Eris, maybe someone is part of the closed beta and want to share the file? or someone knows of an app in the marketplace that I'm just not seeing? Either way, much appreciated, I'm looking for a nice enjoyable stay here

Well I have this installed on my Eris, and I completed the tutorial, and I turned on Swype (check-marked the box), however I don't have the option on turn off the Touch Input keyboard, so when I go into texting, it uses the Touch Input keyboard and not the Swype one. I also have the 2.1 leak verizon 2 installed ...
Here's a ghetto screenshot of my keyboard settings options, it's attached.
I don't have a way to turn off the Touch Input, there's no checkbox or anything ...
Help?
Once swype is checked on that screen. Then you need to go into a text screen and long press on one of the input sections (where you type) when the "select input" screen comes up choose it then choose swype!
Enjoy!
I can't stand my phone without swype... soo much better IMO
Thank you that worked!

or do a google search.
make sure you disable audio feedback or you will get major force closes.
will This work on ver 1.5 or do u need to root?
Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
yep, it'll work on non-rooted 1.5 phones. just use astro or something similar to install it, go to keyboards and settings and choose swype, also remember to turn off audio notifications or it wont work. then open up a message or search box or something and long tap on the text area, and choose swype.
Is anyone actually using swipe keyboard on Eris right now? Ive downloaded 4 different versions, the only one that actually works is an expired trial and just works like a regular keyboard. Is there some way around this?

i think the light version(correct me if i am wrong) has no expiration date. i am currently using that and love it! i have the .apk saved onto my sd card so whenever i flash a new rom i can re install it!
I'm using it. it worked on 1.5, and every rom I've installed since rooting.
go into keyboard settings, check swype. turn off audio notifications, then open up any text box (like a text message or the search bar)long tap on it, choose input selection, then choose swype.

ya you need the light version ..... check www.thefuzz4.net he has it up on there ...
or another option, over on the androidforums.com some one posted a themed version of swype lite .... looks like the stock htc keyboard ....
Awesome!!!!! Thanks everyone! The light version works like a charm... Cant wait to make my wife jealous when she gets home.
And special thanks to rvpartsguy for that website. Ive googled many many android related things and never stumbled across it..
Over on androidforums, user "sh0ebox" re-skinned Swype for HVGA to look more like the standard HTC_IME keyboard, and compiled it so we can use it on non-rooted phones:
I recently compiled a MM theme for swype that skins it to look like the HTC_IME keyboard for the Droid (droid-life posted a blog about it a couple days ago).
Now, I am a Droid owner, but my girlfriend has an Eris and was complaining that she didn't like the appearance of swype and wished it looked like her default (HTC_IME) keyboard. So, since I had already made the theme for Droids, I thought I would convert it over for her. Since she isn't rooted, I compiled it into the swype APK for the Eris and loaded it on her phone tonight, and it works like a charm. Since I went through all the work of compiling the theme and the apk for her, I thought I'd share it with the rest of the Eris community. Hope you guys enjoy it

All you need to do to get this up and running is Pair your BT Keyboard to the nook by selecting it and typing the code 1111 and pressing okay. Then on the actual keyboard press 1111 and Enter. It will Pair.
To get it working as a keyboard you need to get from Market "Bluetooth Keyboard JT" and set that up.
Works quite well while its paired

Hi! I asked about how to get the apple keyboard working in the YT-comments. I was hoping that app would magically make it work, but apparently it's just the good old Null Keyboard with a different name.
Looks like I'm going to have to try that MIUI rom

All you need to do to get this up and running is Pair your BT Keyboard to the nook by selecting it and typing the code 1111 and pressing okay on the nook. Then on the actual keyboard press 1111 and Enter. It will Pair but not connect. To get it connected as a keyboard you need to get from Market "Bluetooth Keyboard JT" and set that up, it takes a few tries. Works quite well while its paired I dropped connection once during the video but that was at the end.
I thought this was already known, in the thread where there is a list of functional bluetooth devices?
I like using my wiimote better for NES games anywho.

Hi.
I purchased this a couple of days ago but have only just got around to trying it out.
First impressions are that it is very solidly programmed, it's pretty intuitive to use and that it's going to be really useful.
I have one issue so far in that my mouse only behaves as expected if I rotate it 90° clockwise when the program takes over control. I'm using it on a TV stick (mk808) which is in landscape mode which may have something to do with it. I apologise in advance if I'm overlooking an option somewhere.
I also have a feature request:
There are many games that do not respond to mouse clicks at all and are only expecting to receive touch input (obviously not the case on a TV stick).
Would it be possible to add a 'touch mouse' option so that a cursor is shown wherever the mouse cursor would have been but when clicking a 'touch' is made instead?
I hope I've explained that well enough (I can dig up some links that may be able to explain it better than I can).
Thanks.

Would it be possible to add a 'touch mouse' option so that a cursor is shown wherever the mouse cursor would have been but when right clicking a 'touch' is made instead?
I hope I've explained that well enough (I can dig up some links that may be able to explain it better than I can).

Hi Darren,
Firstly ,I am indeed the Developer of this very app. But pardon me, I wasn't exactly able to comprehend the issue you're facing with the Mouse. Could you please rephrase the problem may be.
Now about the feature suggestion I'm afraid I won't be able to add this feature at this very moment. These are early times in the app's lifecycle so I'd like to wait for a while and collect all the suggestions and would look to implement the ones which most people want. But still, thanks a lot for the suggestion.
Anyways. do elaborate about the Mouse issue. I'll look into it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't explain it very well, did I (I confess I was thinking more about my feature request ).
The issue is that when I move the mouse to the left the touch cursor moves upwards, when I move it up the touch cursor moves to the right etc...
I have since discovered that the keyboard is affected as well. If I create a profile with the mouse in the centre of the screen for example and put a 'q' directly to the left of it, when I enable that profile the mouse behaves as explained above and when I press q on the keyboard the touch cursor appears as if I had placed it directly above the mouse. In other words it's as if the entire profile has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
My assumption is that the problem is because on most mobile phones the 'natural' orientation is portrait whereas on my TV stick (and most tablets?) the 'natural' orientation is landscape (I could be completely wrong though).
I hope that explains it a bit better.
Thank you for considering my feature request, the only way I have found to get around it is using Droidmote but I would much rather use a mouse than my phone to control my TV stick. I doubt there are many others that will request it as well though, unfortunately.

I did get the issue the first time but just wanted to make sure. I now do understand the issue completely and you're absolutely correct about the Natural Orientation of Phones & TV Sticks.
I will try to reproduce the issue on my Ouya tomorrow, which too has Default Landscape Orientation. Will get it fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks again for reporting the issue.
Now, about the feature you requested, if in future I do get a bit of free time I'd create a little app which will solely do what you requested. Might come handy for a lot of users. For a Dedicated app it won't take me as much time to develop, but integrating it into MK2Touch would become extremely strenuous for me. Nice little idea though.
Hey @darren49, Version 1.0.2 of Mouse Keyboard 2 Touch GOLD is now live on Play Store.
It fixes the Orientation bug with Large Screen devices & Mini PC's. So please update to Version 1.0.2.
Hi
I've updated to v1.02 but am sorry to report that the issue is still there.
I tried uninstalling and re-downloading but with no change. Creating a new profile from scratch didn't help either.
I also tried creating a profile on my phone and transferring the file to my TV stick but no luck there either (unfortunately I don't have an OTG cable to test my mouse with my phone).
I have noticed that although in the app info the version is reported as 1.02, the version number displayed at the bottom right of the screen is 1.00 ? (I don't remember if the previous version said 1.01 or 1.00)

Indeed the project is alive. In fact a huge update is about to hit the Play Store.
And there is no test version. Only the paid one. If you have mailed me with queries you'll be answered pretty soon.
Thanks.
Ok, thanks for information. Can I know a bit more about the future update that the app will receive ? Will probablt buy it because if it's really what I think that it is, I look for it since a long time.

The new update will add Material Design UI refinements and two important features which will let people choose the Keyboard &/or Mouse manually and the other being Force Enable Orientation fix button.
The manual selection of Keyboard/Mouse should solve issues for users having more than one mouse/keyboard connected at the same time.
And forcing the Orientation fix will help users facing the Orientation problem on some devices.
Thanks for you fast answer.
I chose to buy it, so I tried it with counter strike 1.6
I have different question.
First, i'm French and i don't find any control scheme corresponding to an "azerty" keyboard, so it's a probem because it's really hard to control ... Is it possible to create it own control scheme ?
Then, I joined a screenshot of my config of the game. It's the first game i'm trying to config and it's maybe for that that it didn't work, but the only thing working is when I press w q d and s. The right click doesn't shot, the left shift doesn't sit, and the movement of the mouse don't make move the camera.
So i need to use my finger to move the camera, to shot etc even If i configured the app with button. Is something wrong with my configuration ?
