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:

[Q] Sixaxis Controller on Android 4.0.3

Hi all,
For people who dont know what it is, SixAxis Controller allows you to play games on Android with your PS3 controller. In the latest versions developers included touch emulation, which allow to play games like PES2012 with virtual keyboards.
So yesterday I tried SixAxis Controller 0.3.7...this is the resume of that experiment:
Install. OK
Check Compatibility. OK
Pair Controller. OK
Create a profile to PES2012. OK
Playing. FAILED (No response to controller inputs)
Does anyone tried SixAxis Controller on Nexus S?
Which OS version are you running?
Do you have this problem?
Best Regards

I've tried version 0.3.9 on my galaxy s and it works fine except for the touch profiles which don't seem to work at all!
Btw, I'm on teamhacksung building 12 of ics 4.0.3

Yep, tested 0.3.9 version and the touch profiles still dont work on nexus s 4.0.3 stock rom...

Same thing happened to me when playing gta

playing GTA3 from NS4G ics only gave me analog stick & d-pad control...I even downloaded premade controller maps that people claim work flawlessly and it still wouldn't work for me.

Doesn't work for me!!
I'm using teamhacksung build 15 on Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9000).
I manage to connect the gamepads but there's no response in the games... any idea??

Worked ok on GTA III
It was a little unresponsive but I think its cause I only have like a gig left...slow....phone...

I'm having problems too.
My Dualshock can connect to my Nexus S, it works on my homescreen with moving, but when I want to play a game (Age of zombies, Nova 3) it doesn't work..

Sony Ericson XPERIA PLAY gamepad?

Just asking if there were a way we could use the keyboard as a gamepad similar to the xperia play's one? It could be great tu be able to use the keyboard to play games, and very much more user-friendly.
Thanks

Well in most emulators on the market, you can map the keys to controller buttons. I use Gameboy A.D. from the market and it's great with the D3 keyboard.

Sixaxis controller from market and a ps3 controller ftw.

Yeah, but for other games (native games for android) that's not possible. I don't have a PS3, i'm playing on a XBOX 360.

This is not what you are looking for, but this is great for emulators and such. http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm

With native games I just use sixaxis in "touch" mode and setup the profile to match the button overlay in the game. The controllers keypresses emulate touch events so it works 100% with anything that allows touchscreen or key(hardware button) input. You can have the controller emulate a touchscreen, keyboard and/or mouse so... a 20$ ps3 controller(any pawn shop has them used etc, just make sure it's bluetooth and not the 2.4ghz with a dongle) and d3 car mount screwed to it > gamegripper imo. Trying to upload you a screenshot of the profile setup, once you see that you'll know for sure it works with anything that runs on droid, including the home app/any app/game but its being stuborn, I'll get it up in a bit.
Edit: Uploaded that screenshot of the profile setup with my fpse profile loaded. The buttons aren't shown when playing a game or anything, only time you see where the button taps are position on the screen is when making/editing profiles so nothing interferes. sorry it took so long, used a friends laptop just to get them up lol. You'll notice I have the analog buttons overtop of the digital pad so I can use either/switch during gameplay etc

Controlling Android on a Raspberry Pi

I realize this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to find the answer. If I install Android on a Raspberry Pi attached to my TV, how do I control it? Is there a way to use a regular remote control?

There is always the wireless Keyboard and Mouse option.
I believe you can also use multi-touch touchpads such as Wacom Bamboo.

Thanks for the reply.I was hoping to use a media center remote or something similar, but I assume none of the drivers will work.

If you want to control your RPi using a remote I wouldn't install Android (The current builds aren't that stable and are buggy at best). I would recommend taking a look at Raspbmc, it's Xbmc for the RPi and should be compatible with a variety of media remote controls.

You can Use a Normal Mouse (And Keyboard)

Xbmc isn't really what I'm looking for. If a keyboard and mouse work, maybe someone will figure out how to use a remote.

When android is more polished I think you will have options

What are you looking for then? Since you want to drive it using an IR remote (I'm guessing), that typically indicates some sort of media center.

I run Windows Media Center on all my tv's with the Ceton Companion app to control it. Currently the app does not support streaming live tv but it is supposed to be in the works. When it finally supports streaming to android, I could build a small raspberry pi box and use it as an extender when I'm out of town. If nothing else I would finally have an excuse to buy one.

this is something like what I want, too. I would ultimately like to have an HTPC running android that supports video streaming, local media playback, live tv and streaming of everything above to all my connected devices.....like xbmc, but also with an option to use it as an android device when necessary. I don't want to have to use a mouse and keyboard for it either since my tv is too far away from the couch for that to be a reasonable option.....but mouse and kb support are still necessary for some things. IMHO, the best possible option would be a logitech remote that also has an on-screen pointer and motion controls like a wii remote has.
......come to think of it, an app supporting a wii remote to control android functions wouldn't exactly be a bad solution!!

you can use raspbmc instead of android if you are willing to use it as media center. it also has broader possibilities for choosing a remote.
http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/user/configuring-remotes/
but i prefer this one most
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote
enjoy !

I use a regular remote from my tv when i use raspmbc since it supports cec. The xbmc remote most people use through their Android device is specific for xbmc, so it wouldnt do much good with anything else. Droidmote isnt the prettiest but its functions well. Theres a lot of apps for remotes, that even take advantage of voice and nfc. So when Android is running stable enough, you will be able to take your pic. If your not interested in embedded hardware or other similar usages for the pi, you could always get a g box midnight or minix neo g4 or 5. There all dual core and come rooted with firmware updates that will give you JB and xbmc. There is a quad core one that is out or coming out and will come with JB and full hardware acceleration.

In raspbmc u can use u tv pilot to control xbmc.

You can also use Tablet Remote
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote
or LANmote
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote

Yatse is a damn good remote for xbmc, it syncs your library list to your device, so you can scroll on device, links to imdb for movies,you can change audio tracks,dl subtitles, and all sorts of cool stuff. And it's free

You can already stream to your ras pi from windows or wherever, I like prefer my tablet or phone. Download the app bubbleupnp from the playstore and it will populate a library of videos, music whatever you have on the device by selecting it as the local renderer and it will see the raspi then press play. Also some android apps like youtube for ex.you can just share it to the app and it will play on your tv connected to the pi. If I want a remote I use the official xmbc remote or if im using a win box to get the media ill use unified remote app. Which then gets cool cause you can use voice and all kinds of stuff.

Nook HD CM 10.1 no joystick support

USB OTG work OK for keyboard, mouse, hdd, but absolutely no support for joysticks. I tried 5 different USB joysticks, none seems to work. USB device VID and PID visible, but no dev/input/js*. Also I did not find any joydev.ko module. Is there any success on nook hd cm10.1 joystick using?

Seems like PS3 controller works in this video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42141795&postcount=491

Yes I saw it, but my original PS3 does not work with NOOK HD (10.1 20130719). Nether D-pad nor analog sticks.

Make sure you're using a USB hub, and you'll need to purchase the USB/BT Joystick Center. That app recognizes many usb controllers, and worked for me on a generic NES, SNES controller, and PS2 to USB adaptor. I was upset when I bought the app and it still wasn't working, then I got the USB hub and it all worked. Hope that fixes it for you!

Thank you. Is this your own experience with NOOK HD? Is this NOOK HD or NOOK HD+? What CM version?
I purchased NOOK HD as a dedicated device to control my Ar Drone quadrocopter, the control program has joystick support. So I did everything I could to make it working.
1. None of my joysticks (including original PS3) work "as is". No dev/input/js* file created, no eventX for joystick (no usb hub, but no dmesg on excess power). All them are visible with lsusb.
2. Sixaxis checker cannot detect controller (BT master address changed properly). No use.
3. Joystick Center/BT. PS3 is not detectable. I was able to detect generic USB controller and assign joysticks and buttons. Theheadsn in the control program I can map buttons, but no luck with analog sticks. Then I tried touch event emulation (Joystickcenter/BT)+Joy2touch server. I can put control on the screen, but no touch event injection. I asked author of Joycenter and he has no idea how to fix it.
The last 2 attempts with joycenter are here (I made the video to ask the author).
I'm not permitted to post direct links to youtube, here are video: w1tWqoG5QFI and Bbgb8z1WGWo or check my channel nnnkkk123123
I dont know what to do. Any advise is very much welcomed. I'll try with USB hub.

You were right!
Original PS3 works fine over usb hub. Third party PS3 doesn't ( but OK with Playstation). Both create dev/ input/js0 and joystick event.
PS3 can work as a regular joystick, including analog axis and with Tinkore KeyMapper can simulate touch events ( so can be used with programs without joystick support). In contrast to Tinkore KeyMapper Joycenter/BT does not inject touch events in NOOK.
Alexb54 thank you, you made my day!

Did you have any performance issues when simulating touch events with Tinkore KeyMapper. I just tried it and it slows down the entire performance of the device with it enabled. Framerate is choppy and no longer fluid when playing games. This is with my Nook HD+ on the latest CM10.1 build by verygreen.
USB/BT Joystick app seems to work just fine with my USB controller. I can map all the keys but, as you mentioned, the touch overlays do not work when enabling the touch server app. The app works fine and you can assign the virtual buttons on the touch screen, but nothing registers when you press the buttons on the controller after exiting touch edit mode. Still, even if it did work, there is a significant performance drop when playing games with the touch overlay enabled. Its the same issue with Tinkore KeyMapper app. This is a shame since my original nexus 7 works just fine with the virtual buttons and there is no performance issues when enabled.

I just tried with my original ps3 controller, it doesn't work...mine is not a dualshock though..
