PS3 bluetooth remote control app...

Does anyone know if something like this is out, or if someone is attempting it? I think it would be a great app that many people, including myself, would pay for. I don't have the know how to try and make it myself, does anyone else?

I believe the ps3 uses a proprietary bluetooth protocol and the bluetooth stack on android is not fully developed. I'd love to see it too, I have a ps3 as well. I just don't see it being likely at this point.

Here is one more vote for a PS3 controller app! I don't use it for a DVD/Blueray that much, but when I would do it would be nice. Or to control the Music player VIA bluetooth OR uPNP maybe?

that would be crazy. i had a ps3 but sold it. waiting for something better by sony.even tho "it does everything." haha.

This would be FANTASTIC!!!! I know where my phones are at all times...my remotes...not so much.

I want this! I'd pay $$ for it!

agreed.... this would be awesome.

I would be all over a ps3 remote app. I hate the official remote, I don't want 30 buttons on a remote. That's the whole reason to get the remote, so you don't have a complicated controller. And stop should reboot the ps3 everytime you accidently hit it.

bump
does anyone have the know-how to make this happen?

That looks interesting but it relies on the Bluetooth HID profile. So it should do most stuff but probably not the power. Unfortunately it's for WM and Android doesn't have a developed HID profile yet.

I'd like to state my support for this. It would be very convenient, especially for movie playback.

Wishing that the Android devs can get the speed up to fully implement the Bluetooth protocol/-s, including neccasary HID profiles. That's one of the major flaws with the entire platform - the lack of proper BT implementation!
I would love to have this too! I had MobileRemote 1.1 for my HTC Diamond (WM6.1) device, and it worked pretty well - although it seemed a bit bloaty and unstable. I believe a fresh developed application for the neat Android platform would be much better!

add me to the list. I would also pay a little $ for an app that would control videos and be a keyboard. Wish i knew how to make this happen... I could use the money.

ive got a psp but no ps3 yet (the girlfriend said its my xmas present though) so i could control some things with the psp but id rather do it on my phone

id pay for it

I find it odd with as advanced and feature rich as android is we lack proper bluetooth support. I too would love to see an app to at least provide the basic functions of selecting music/movies and ff/rw.
Id spend a few dollars on it

android.bluetooth
Wonder if Android 2.0 (SDK out now, 2.0 in Nov '09) will help out development of one of this kind of application? The developers added a Bluetooth class to the framework. I think it's mostly for file transfering, but perhaps there's some other protocols supported here too?
Anyone with knowledge, please have a loop at this package.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/package-summary.html
EDIT: About 1 minute into this video they talk about Android 2.0 BT abilites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc
"Android 2.0 includes a bluetooth API that let's apps turn on and off Bluetooth,
discover and connect to nearby devices and send and recieve data"
The BT API now enables:
"Peer-to-peer communication"

It could be possibel as long as you can connect the phone to the ps3 you just have to figure out the keyboard commands to send. The ps3 does some bluetooth keyboards.

wireless keyboard app
Someone needs to make a wireless keyboard app for ps3 xbox macbook laptop etc

use nexus as Playstation 3 keyboard?

Is this possible? Is there a way?

first and final bump

yes it's possible... BUT needs a Dev to make an APP for it.
#1 - the kernel source code includes Sony PS3 Modules which state it'll allow you to power on/off your PS3 console, etc. They Need to be activated and kernel rebuilt.
#2 - Need a Dev to make an APP to allow it to control these features. PS3 uses bluetooth for controllers so it's possible to connect your phone to PS3 with limited capabilities...
If someone makes an APP for this, they might even be able to create an APP with an on-screen controller so you can control your games too! Maybe use the phones vibrate for force-feedback from games.
This is all possible but time consuming... Well worth the work to make it a Paid app in the market!

Looked around, I don't think it's been done for Android.
I thought fun app to code a PS3 bluray remote
http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html
That's like the opposite but could give good insight on how to do it.
But then, it's been done form Windows mobile. I would assume it can be done for android!

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:

PS3 controller support

It appears as though there is an app out now to pair PS3 game controllers with Android devices via Bluetooth. Can someone download Sixaxis from the market and confirm functionality? According to the free device checker, our Xooms are compatible with this app.
Edit: Forgot to mention this requires root.

I tried it and it works great with the Xoom. I highly recommend it for the gamers. The perfect solution for playing with emulators.

Ive downloaded and paired Via Bluetooth. The only Problem im having with it is that cant configure the controller (well you can configure it but not for certain games) to play other games other then Roms it would be better if lets say there was a way to configure NOVA 2 That would be an epic way to play it

Good app
Great solution to the PS3 controller pairing issue.
I've messed around with this app a fair amount today on my Atrix, and loaded it on my Xoom just to see if I could copy the apk and run it fine on another device. Xoom isn't rooted so I can't tell you how it works on that device. However I will say that the controller configuration is extensive for which button does what. It seems to have just about any of the buttons you could expect to input from a D1 and a Play along with quite a few more to boot.
Since you're essentially mapping system inputs in place of button presses, it also solves the issue of multiple controllers on one device. I had previously hooked up a USB hub to the Xoom via OTG cable and was disappointed to find that inputs from two PS3 controllers registered exactly the same. Instead of input1_down and input2_down .. it was simply seeing keypad_down from both controllers, which made multiplayer impossible unless someone was willing to use a keyboard. (Perhaps a wiimote would have sufficed, but I couldn't tell you. I know a USB 360 controller registered as exactly the same inputs as the PS3 controller did.)
Using this app one controller can be inputting keypad_down, etc.. and another can be configured to use aswd and a few others, and yet another somewhere else on a keyboard's letters and symbols (or camera, volume, etc. buttons). It elegantly solves the multiplayer issue, up to 4 controllers.
It's $1.62 when I nabbed it, absolutely worth the cost and finally a pressing reason to root.
As far as games compatible with it, they would have to accept up,down,left,right, etc.. natively. It appears you can use the exact commands available to the Play, so you should see more widespread support for controllers in future games, and you should pester the devs of current games that don't support it to get with the program and add support for the Play, since that will kill two birds with one stone.

Thanks guys! Guess I will have to pick up a PS3 controller today

[REQUEST][MAGISK]Can you make a PS4 / XBOX one controller emulator on Android

So, recently i bought a ipega pg 9078 gamepad just to play call of duty mobile. The reason i bought it because it was cheap ($20) and i didn't want to invest much for Android gaming. But after i brought it home it didn't connect with codm as codm only supports ps4 and Xbox one controller.
Then, I told the developers of codm to add a wide range of controller support in the future update of the game on their official forum , but they told me to stick up with the native touch controls.
The reason i want a gamepad to play codm because it brings the game to a whole new level.
Plus, i can use upto 8 fingers to play , which is pretty sick.
So, my question is ,
1. is it possible to make a Xbox one/ps4 controller emulator on android, which will emulate the input of any Bluetooth gamepad and make the android device think its a ps4/ Xbox one controllers input?
2. Can any humble developers in this forum make such magisk module/ app / xposed module?
If you can, it will be much appreciated.
There is a Xbox 360 controller emulator called x360ce but it is only available for pc.
P.S. I tried Octopus Gamepad and Panda Gamepad pro but it really sucks (the aiming is really bad)
