Hi all, I've got a KFHD7 with CM11 running the tate Kit Kat ROM (thanks for your work Hashcode), but I can't seem to get a mouse or keyboard to work over bluetooth or USB OTG. HDMI output works fine (would be nice to have HDMI output resolution settings, but that's a bigger issue with Android AFAIK). We really need to be able to use it with a mouse and keyboard as I'm intending to use it as an Android desktop in our open device lab where I work. We test websites and apps and I'm trying to get it through to people that Android is (and will continue to be) much more than an OS for small touchscreens.
Do you guys know of any stable, recent ROMs at all that will work well with a mouse and keyboard?
Thanks!

I'm running CM11 as well, and I've got a bluetooth keyboard that works just dandy with it (wow, I don't think anyone says that anymore, but whatever ). I haven't tried a mouse, but I have no idea as to wether or not that would work. As for OTG stuff... well, the kernel used for the KFHD doesn't really support it yet. It's been talked about for a while, but there's still no option for it.

Any chance you can test a mouse? CM11 did not work with the bluetooth mouse for me. It paired fine, the pointer just never appeared.

If I had one, I would test it. Unfortunetly, I don't have one, and I don't have the funds to purchase one.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but months later I still don't know what to do. Can't get a mouse working over USB OTG or bluetooth on my CM11 Kindle. I always update it to the latest builds too. Any thoughts?
I think OTG is in the works. At least an attempt at it. Hashcode said something about it in the CM 11 thread.

The kernel does not support OTG, yet.

Can't make any promises about mice, I don't even have a bluetooth mouse to try it, but I am running kinology 3.2 (planning on updating to 3.3 soon) and my bluetooth keyboard is working perfectly with it. Maybe just a lil better than it did with original amazon os as well.

Can't seem to find any topics that mention the same as i ask here, if there exists a topic. please feel free to direct me there, instead of flaming.
I was wondering after i read this
http://venturebeat.com/2011/08/29/25-computer-pi-quake-3/?obref=obnetwork
if it was possible to do the same with our o2x?
With connecting a keyboard and mice to the phone via the micro usb slot and then connect the phone with the hdmi cable to a screen, and run a os maybe linux?
You can install Linux on your phone no problem, it's whether the keyboard, mouse and HDMI out would all work.
Then again, it's been a while since i got linux running on a phone so things might have improved since then
Hmm.Anyone who have tried it yet with the keyboard and mice?

Works great with bluetooth devices, I've tried a keyboard without a glitch
Then this changes everything! i'll have to invest in a bluetooth keyboard and a mice. Then i will for sure check it out.
Im hopeing that the linux on our o2x has been polished so the wifi and sound works now. if so then i will for sure use my phone as a portable mini computer
But i don't think mices work, only keyboards, not 100% but before you invest in a new mouse maybe wait for another reply

I have trouble connecting Bluetooth mouse with Galaxy note [GT-n7000] on nightly up to date - CyanogenMod 10.1
Already published this problem here but I don't believe developer will noticed it there. Because I am noob [<10 posts] I am not allowed to post anything at developer forum.
Now... Mouse is working on SGSII stock ROM, but doesn't work on CM10.1
*There should be number request when pairing (as it was on SGSII), but it automatically recognize and afterwards doesn't connect.
How to fix it?
No Bluetooth mouse for CM..only work on TW base rom..

I'm trying to map the keys of my mouse so I can use the right click as back button.. It does works on TW, I'm on TW stock ics.. Do you know about any app that allows me to customize mouse functions?
Tapatalking on my n7000
you have to use 3rd part app like blueinput, and you can't use the bluetooth keyboeard without this apps in CM.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead drum here but I couldn't really find a definite answer. In what way is Bluetooth limited in the nook HD using CM 10.1? I see that keyboards and mouse via wired USB are no problem, but are they working normally via bluetooth? I've tried my PS3 controller via Bluetooth and that didn't work so before I go out and spend a bunch of money on wireless Bluetooth peripherals (keyboard, mouse, joystick), I want to be sure they're working. Can anyone report Bluetooth peripherals that do work?

I use a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse and Creative D100 bluetooth speakers with my HD+, often simultaneously. Both work great. The mouse has issues reconnecting after screen off under CarbonRom, but works without issues with verygreen's latest CM10.1.

So is it just the PS3 controller that doesn't work? I assumed it was many different peripherals. Other joysticks work just fine?

I read recently in one of the CM10.1 threads that the real ps3 controller works, but a knock off third party unit did not. Search for that comment.

I've got a real one and it doesn't via bluetooth. I've read it does via wired usb connection, but we're talking about wireless Bluetooth here.
I'm not interested in using wired peripherals.
It needs app(s) and games that support gamepad.
PS3 controller app is one - requires reprogramming of BT key using a PC though.
Would like to hear other apps that work (with both XBOX360 & PS3). One that doesn't require reprogramming would be great.

Nope I've tried the app. It's my understanding that all Android devices require the app for PS3 joysticks to work via Bluetooth. In the case of the Nook HD+ running CM 10.1 it doesn't work at all. I'm wondering if that's exclusive to the PS3 controller, or if I can do retro gaming with any bluetooth controller.
Anyone have the Nyko Playpad Pro for Android/Bluetooth?
It's on amazon and has decent reviews.

My Moga Pivot bluetooth controller works great especially with the 3rd party universal driver. So glad i bought it when they were on firesale for $5.
All of my blue tooth controllers work that I have tried. I have three.
The six-axis app for ps3 controller DOES NOT work on CM 10.1 on the nook.
I tried every way possible. It only works if you connect it with usb, which i don't like either.
but six axis still won't function = useless.
The MOGA works as does the cheapo GameStop blue tooth controller.
I got a moga...tired of waiting for six axis to get fixed.

You have better luck than me.
My PS3 controller won't work no matter what was used, sixaxis BT, USB host, joy center.
I gave up trying this.
I don't plan to game a lot anyway. I'd just get the Nvidia Shield if I ever need to so more than casual time wasters on Androis
Yep, I have two controllers from Gamestop and both work fine with HD+.

Sixaxis on CM10
I'm using verygreen's CM10 on SD card build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364) and the sixaxis app works great. I've played through half of Symphony of the Night.
I was just about to update to CM10.1, but I think I'll hold off.
Hey there. I have the Nook HD+ and was using Cyanogenmod 10.1 for a while. I very much enjoyed using it, but eventually ran into an issue I hope to get resolved someway. One of the main things I'd like to do with my tablet is use it for emulators and for that I'd like to use a wii remote. Now, the issue with that is, as some of you may know,wii remotes no longer connect to android as of 4.2 due to some bluetooth change. What I've found out is that the remote will sync to the standard Nook OS, due to it being 4.1 or whatever.
So I guess my question would be this. Is there a way to use cyanogenmod and still get the wiimote functionality in some form? Is it possible to dual boot or something along those lines? As in use the stock Nook OS for emulation and cyanogen for other uses. I'm not very experienced when it comes to working with phone ROMs and such. And when I did search for things about dual booting it was paired with heavy use of jargon and I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I'm really looking for options for things I could go about doing here.
Thanks for your time

If CM10.1 (android 4.1) works with the wii remote, could you not go back to using that? What was the issue you mention running into?
In the development forum there are builds of CM10.1 and the latest stock OS that can run off an sd card rather than installing to the device, so you can have a kind of dual boot situation where you just pop the sd card in when you want to use that operating system. That might work for your situation.

With the latest update ( 2.1.1 ), the stock Nook HD+ is ICS 4.0.4. Google broke Android's bluetooth support with Jellybean 4.2+, and CM and others are trying to fix it but with limited success. You can dual boot by running an alternate OS off of the SD Card. I run stock 2.1.1 from SD Card as per:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330083
With a supported 16/32GB SD Card you can have plenty of room for all kinds of roms for emulators.
However, I would rather not use the WiiMote for emulators. Rather, GameStop has a $9.99 bluetooth wireless controller for Android Tablets that purportedly still works with CM 10.1/2 and has analog sticks and all. I plan to get one of those, but they are sold out online and I just haven't made the trek to a GameStop that has them....
Gamestop no longer has those blu tooth controllers, but the gamestop red samurai
works very well...I just got one a few weeks ago. $ 19.99

The original fire (I believe) had the ability to utilize USB OTG, but the newer ones (HD, hdx) can not. This is no doubt a restriction set in place by Amazon. :/
As to your question about Bluetooth mice, I have not personally tried them, but hopefully someone else here has.
Pretty sure I tried a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard a while back and it worked... The kfhd will never support otg it lacks the power out so it is a hardware problem.
