insomnia plus boredom got me to think why i haven't hooked up my bluetooth keyboard to my note or any of my other devices, so I did. Works like a charm. I know this has probably been done and is by no means some great accomplishment, but in case anyone wants to know how. I just downloaded BLUEINPUT from the market and synched the two and voila. It made playing some of my sega genesis games on the note easier too but i need to get a bluetooth gamepad for that one.
Anyone on here used the iCade 8-Bitty Bluetooth controller with any emulators on the HTC One yet? I was able get one cheap but I know how buggy this stuff can be with different phone manufacturers. I really wish Android supported Bluetooth controllers without having to use an app. I play a lot of emulation on my phone and the on screen touch controls just aren't the same. I have read that some custom phone Rom's have capabilities of supporting devices like Wii-motes and PS3 controllers. But it seems neither work on HTC devices with Stock Roms. I hope it works when it finally arrives! :fingers-crossed:
Actually, the Wiimote does work on the Sense rooms with BluezIME. You have to download the separate file as per the instructions in the app, but works fine. It emulates an HID device so I don't believe the joysticks work on a classic controller, but good enough for SNES games. Hope this helps - maybe I should post a separate thread so people know about this method.
Btw I checked BluezIME and with the hid enabler, it has a setting for iCade. Even better!

Wow I will have to check that out. I did a lot of searching online the other night and downloaded an app for Wiimotes but it wouldn't connect to my controller. It came out with some error saying it had known issues with Sense Roms. I also tried the PS3 one and it also had issues. SNES games is exactly what I wanted a controller for. Thanks!
Newer Wiimotes won't connect. To any Rom You'll have to find an older one. Theres literally no way sense could cause a Bluetooth controller to not work.

Granted I have a limited understanding of this, but it seems to me the blue tooth stack is integrated in to Sense (or Touch with for Samsung phones)
My relatively new Wiimote (the new motion plus) and classic works fine in BluezIME. And the wiimote/sixaxis apps both say they usually don't work with sense roms. BluezIME works because it emulates HID mode, natively supported. Fwiw.

I should reword. Newer Wiimotes won't work. Wiimotes with motion plus do. It has something to do with the Bluetooth key in the wiimotes themselves. They won't even work on pc.
I don't see how a bluetooth lib would be changed to the point it breaks functionality(or at all really) but I suppose sense could be an issue.

I believe the old ones I have are from a launch system, so I can't speak for new ones. But they never worked on my Evo 3D (I don't recall if I tried BluezIME, only the Wiimote app. Once Cyanogenmod was ported, they worked without a hitch. So it seems to be some issue with how HTC implements Bluetooth, beyond that I can't say. Oddly, I believe One X users were able to use them, I'm not sure, but if so that's very unusual that it's back to not working. Oh well. BluezIME works fine for my purposes, usb-otg cable is in the mail and I'm hoping that works, if not no big deal
I have an original launch Wii controller and I was able to get it to connect. It took a couple tries it kept asking for a passkey. But eventually it took. So it does work which is great. But when I plugged in the classic controller it got a little crazy. Setting up the button mapping in SuperGNES didn't go very well. It was almost like a button was auto pressing everytime I selected a button to map. I'm a little too tired to figure it out tonight but will probably dig into it a little more tomorrow.

So bad news - I bought a USB-OTG cable. Keyboard, mouse, thumbdrive, all plug and play. Works fine. But PS3 remote and an old off-brand I had lying around do not. Why do they insist on removing gamepad support? It works fine in stock Android - has since, what, ICS? Guess I'll probably jump to MIUI, supposing we see it. Maybe I'll take a stab at the kernel source and see what I can find. Doubt I'm skilled enough for that sort of thing, though.
My iCade 8Bitty controller finally came in today. It works great with the emulators I use. Didn't have to do anything fancy to get it to work, pretty smooth sailing. Simple set up. Looks like it will work with any app/game that says it supports it. :good:
Too lazy to look for the info at 4AM, but yes, Sense is a major issue that breaks Bluetooth functionality. Something in Sense was causing a conflict in the Bluetooth driver, so HTC disabled certain functions in the driver. As a result, Wiimotes, as well as some other devices, won't work. Apparently HTC finally got around to fixing the issue rather than just sweeping it under the rug. Good for them. And us.
Hi there,
I love playing on emulators with my HTC One, namely DraStic, MyBoy! and Snes9x.
I've noticed that the whole system slows down when I connect one of my Bluetooth Controllers to the phone, namely Gametel Controller, PS3 Wireless Controller and the Impulse Controller.
I am aware that emulation, especially DS emulation need a lot of CPU power but I can see a huge framedrop of about 15fps and sound gets really choppy when a bluetooth controller is connected.
Is anyone else playing on emulators and has installed any Custom ROM, Google Edition ROM or a 4.2.2 or even 4.1.2 ROM and can test if the described problem occurs on these ROMs too?
Thanks in advance, hope that some guys are interested in investigating so we can have clarity and solve this issue.
As some of you may know, Samsung has in the past had the horrible practice of blocking and disabling bluetooth controllers from working, in favour of their VR controller setup.
I wondered if anyone here has attempted to connect a controller for use in games?
Yeah I use the Moga pro

What games do you play with that controller paired to your phone? Do you find that it is widely compatible?
I use it for PUBG and a couple of emulators. There's also quite a few games that are "optimized" for the controller and officially support it.
Hi.
I have played since yesterday the game on my shield tablet with the Nvidia controller.
Absolutely no problem
But I want to know if I can play without controller, just with the touchscreen and some tricks or app.
Does anyone have some idea ?
