App suggestion - Use android phone as gamepad

Another suggestion if that's ok?
I had remembered that with the IOS vers. of the SNES emulator, that you could use you're iPod touch or iPhone as the controller.
Anyone know of any way to do that with an android phone? ie: use my android phone as a bluetooth gamepad to play emulators with.
I have searched google the past few days and have only seen the Wiimote apk. While that does work, it just seems more convenient to have a phone that is already with you able to do it, that and it only has a limited number of buttons.
Anyone else share the interest? Thanks! =)

+1 to this
I would definitely be interested in this as well, using your phone as the remote would be killer and extremely convenient!

That would be pretty cool. I hope someone develops something.

Yeah it would.

one up for this!
does a project like this exist (even under development) ? i just googled for an hour but i could not find anything useful.
Something that maps wifi signals from my phone to key press on my pc would be great to use with emulators
//edit
hehe... just after posting i found something
http://code.google.com/p/agamepad/
sadly its not under active development
oh and could somebody please move this thread to a more general android section? i just found it via google and then realized its in the xoom forums (where it does not belong imo)

This would be really cool.
Neat idea to contribute: Make it skinnable. So, you could maybe lay it out like the controller of whatever you're playing. (When using Nesoid, you could use an NES controller skin, when using Snesoid, you could use an SNES controller skin, etc.)

I'm more interested in using my phone as a bluetooth keyboard, but I suppose that could be part of it.

I have been looking for an app that will make my android phone into a remote control. I want to have my Xoom connected to my tv and use my phone to control the various media players that I use..

about android phone into gamepad/ keyboard
Hi, do have any news about this apps now? THANKS

try this
i use unified remote<full version> on a daily basis. it is my portable blue-tooth keyboard, media remote, mouse, etc... i even use it on my laptop. it comes with alot of preloaded remotes for various setups.i have never done it, but it does have a custom settings menu to make your own remote setup.. idk if this can control games, but as far as everything else, hellz yeah.

This is a great idea, skinnable would definitely be hot. Of course I got my PS3 controller working on my Xoom already....

I don't wanna root my device just to use my PS3 controller and I also dont have a OTG cable Im getting one in Nov though

well, i was looking for something like that as well. for weeks, but i found something great here at xda-developers its called "blueputdroid" https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid and its doing a great job even if the gamepad does not work this good .. but 4 example the psx4droid emulator made it possible to control via this app. its just need to be configured correctly.

oh thanks`, But "blueputdroid" is not suppot for my darky v10.2 Rom _ _!! and i also find some as similar as it " droidmote client" but it's support through WIFI only...

you can use DroidMote Server / Client in the android market.
look this video and search for other:

I'm not a great player and I am very tired after having developed a lot but this is a small example of the new features:

well cynogen mod 7 works. i havent done tuns of testing.
It becomes annyoing having to flash and test every single cappy rom.
That is the main reason why im also asking people to test it using the test app on thier roms post a reply so i can post it in the forum
https://market.android.com/details?...patibilitychecker&feature=more_from_developer
BUT asop or not it doent matter it is just a bluetooth protocol that any custum rom can have.

This looks super cool. I wish I had a playstation. Xbox controllers don't use bluetooth, do they?

im almost certian they use infared. I THINK it would be possible to play with the 360 controller with an ir dongle. sort of like how you can connect your phone and tv and use your phone as a remote. It would need a special app and dongle.

The 360 Control is not IR based. It is RF based, however it is not Bluetooth based, it is proprietary. There is a USB receiver for the controllers but it can not work directly through Bluetooth.

FYI, this has been digested and discussed on many a thread, and just to save everyone a lot of trouble: yes, you must be on CM7 or MIUI to use this. It requires a corrected Bluez bluetooth stack, which only AOSP ROMs have. For Samsung ROMs, the only controller you can use is iControlPad (which you can buy here: http://icontrolpad.com/) to use with the Bluez IME app (from the market).

[Q] Viera remote app

Hi,
does anyone succeeded to install the Viera remote app on his optimus 2x ?
The market says may LG optimus 2x does not support this application.
However the app is available to phone since 2.2.
I'm based on Topogiggi rom
Anyone could help ?
thanks

no one got a panasonic tv here ?

I did a quick search for "viera remote" in market 2 as the market 3 seems to throw up MANY apps as NOT compatible for my O2X. I didn't find it. What do you actually search for and I'll try it in Market 2.

I have Panasonic TV
I´ve already instaled this app, it woeks fine, but it didn´t find any device. I have CM7 nightlies.

stevvie I don't know what you call market 2 or 3 but the apps i'm looking for is called 'Viera remote'
It looks like a great app to remotly control your panasonic viera tv.
The app is showing on android web market but tells me it is not compatible with my optimus.
I dont understand why because i'm on 2.3.4 (topogigi rom) and the app should be available.
As for you CZVAGY, how did you install the app ? it is the official panasonic app ?
If you guys could get me an apk( it is a free app) or explain me how i could install it , it would be great !
thanks
peuhhh

I´ve instaled it from Android market and yes, this is orginal app from Panasonic. I think, the problem is in your Topogigi, because I use CM7.
If you want *.apk, send me PM and I´ll send you the file.
Unfortunately (for me), my Panasonic TV doesnt support Viera link via LAN, so this app isn´t useful for me. Maybe in the future when I´ll buy a new TV...

[Q] Bluetooth AVRCP Control Buttons Not Working in LG Stock ROM

Does anyone know a solution for remapping or reutilizing the Bluetooth AVRCP control buttons for a set of bluetooth headphones (LG Tone HBS-700 specifically) on the LG stock ROM? All I want is for the play/pause, forward/previous track buttons to work on my headphones with the SiriusXM app. I came from CM11 and it worked perfectly there. When SiriusXM was playing, the buttons would affect it, and so forth with other music player apps when they had control. Now that I'm back on trying stock ROM, it of course doesn't work because LG's ROM is a piece of junk. Any recommendations?

App in play store called media button router allows you to designate a specific app to be controlled by bt devices.... it's free, maybe that'll do the trick for you

I didn't know about that app! I downloaded and installed it, and unfortunately, it isn't recognizing SiriusXM as one of the music players on my phone. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Maybe email the dev and ask if he'll add it to the app list... couldn't hurt to try.

Not a bad idea. I'll try it!

Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread, but has anyone found a KK ROM with functional AVRCP play / pause support? Media Button Router is a viable alternative for me on 4.3, but does not work on 4.4. Development of the app had basically stopped from what I see... Thanks for any suggestions.

The only ones I ever found to work are AOSP-based, namely Cyanogenmod, but I'm sure any AOSP-based KK ROM would have fully functional AVRCP support for whatever application you're using, provided the application utilizes the system's audio player.

How to mirror my android phone screen to my tablet or TV box?

Hi there
like the title of this thread,
i want an application wich allow me to Mirror my android phone screen to another android tablet or tv box
i search on the Play store but i don't find what i need.
so can anyone help me !!!
regards

Samsung devices can do this via SideSync. I went out of my way to get a phone and tablet so I could use the mirror/remote call/file transfer functionality. Recently LG copied this, so if you have an LG phone and tablet you may also be in luck.
You should probably check the list of devices that support the Chromecast, or consider MHL for output of your phone to a television via an adapter cable.
Sent from my Galaxy S5

After long search i think that it's not possible to mirror All the screen of the phone to another android device beacause
it's should be a protocol like ,DLNA or Miracast ... wich is possible with a dongle wifi display.
but i found two applications wich allow us to share content between devices:
1_ the first aplication is Screenshare:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.springdesign.screenshare.browser.server
2_The seconde application is EZcast screeen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionsmicro.ezcastrx
you can watch the video to know how it works

If both devices are rooted you can get full Chromecast functionality (well, mostly. a few things like Netflix don't and likely will never work) using the Cast receiver port that's on this board along with the Xposed module to disable the signature date check on the device that's sending the Cast, works for me.

Thank you but i don't understand very well
can you please explain what shoul i do step by step?
Regards

I can recommend to use my app Screen Stream Mirroring :angel: , here is the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
I recommend it not only because I am the developer, but because the app was initially made for this.
You can use VLC for Android as receiver or any other RTSP player.
I will also release very soon a player for Android with good additional features.
Just ask if you have any question.

How it works?? there is no instructions!
please explain step by step what i should do?

Download allcast receiver to your tablet and allcast to your phone.

vnc method (root)
Try droid vnc server from the play store(this requires root access) on the device you want to mirror and get a vnc viewer on the device that you want to connect to the vnc server and this will mirror your screen

hi i owned galaxy note 3 phone and recently just bought galaxy tablet note 10.1.

search yueye and download two apps called limitless remote and limitless server. The server app will host a server so every devices on the same Lan can pair up with, but you need to root your server device or the display will be blank, the client device which is the controlling side do not require rooting. You can also download a limitless.zip from the original website to install it in any window os, you can even remote control your pc when you host a server there

If you have a quite recent Android version it should use hardware encoding so you should be able to stream any game... up to 60fps since Android 4.4.
You can check in app preferences if hardware encoding is enabled.

I was going to try your app, but the reviews on Playstore are dismal. Possibly the most negative reviews I've ever seen for an app. So I won't bother, because as in most apps, there are dozens more.
You really should consider trashing the app, fixing it (apparently you have an insane number of ads in the free version) and re-releasing it under a different title. Word of mouth, or in this case, thumbs is everything in the dev world.

I just tried the screenshare app on my Samsung Galaxy tab SM-T350 and a cheap little LGL15G. It works perfectly. I only tried it on my home wifi network, but it streams fast, installs easy and best of all, its free with NO ADS
