HDMI APP for EVO (using it for games on TV)

Hello,
I was wondering if a Dev was creating or looking into making a app over the HDMI to display everyith on your phone, not just when it is in video mode.
My thought was to someday be able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone and play doom, quake w/e from my phone to the TV.
Any thoughts?

These were my exact same thoughts, lets connect my phone to my tv and and bluetooth keyboard to the phone and have a big giant screen for txt messaging hahahahahaha Would also be really cool for watching SprintTV and the web.
Was really annoyed when I found out that the HDMI out had been crippled in the EVO. I hope this won't be the case for the EPIC.
Any ways, I too hope that someone can create a work around for this.

i dont believe that this could be done with an app but maybe god maybe manufacturers maybe CYANOGEN can help...
or the alternative if google (or anyone else) gives an API to develop apps...
if there were a browser, a better player(maybe rockplayer) and docs to go, things would have been better...

I am definately willing to donate to anyone that gets this working. It would make the phone so much more effective.
I used the Samsung Vibrant video out with a simple cable from radio shack and it mirrors the whole UI. Everything you do on the phone goes onto the TV. It isn't the most beautiful picture, and there is some frame lag, but it was still really nice. It would be even better over HDMI.

Jutst checking around some different forums to see if all the EVO Hdmi threads are dead or if any work is being done on it... anybody ?????

Any one fide something jet?

Nope still looking around and nothing yet. I know there's a dev raising money for a evo that already created an app for the nexus I believe......
This is definately dissapointing I would chip in for this as I travel a lot and would be great to use with my slingmobile and watching hockey games......

DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL THAT ZIP. IT'S A LIE AND PROBABLY IS A VIRUS AND/OR MALWARE.

While i cant speak for the apk above...here is the developement thread for the app coming out in the next few weeks...with a video of it working...personally cant wait!

[Q] Captivate/Galaxy S Music through Bluetooth

Is there a way I can play Music through my bluetooth Headset? I have a Nokia BH200 and the PS3 Bluetooth (1st Gen). If done some searching and I still cant figure it out. Is there an app or something that I need? I tried the long press on the device under bluetooth and clicked options but didn't work.
Thanks in advance

Your bluetooth headset need to support A2DP profile.

There's two ways.
The first way, the bluetooth headpiece has to support A2DP. Most at this point do not. If it does, however, you can set it up in the bluetooth devices to be either a bluetooth headset OR a bluetooth headphone.
The second way is with a program called Super BT Mono Froyo. There is a paid and a free version. Not sure what the difference is, but I'm sure some research on your part can take care of that.
With Super BT Mono Froyo, there is simply an on button and an off button. Lacks luster, but it works pretty well for me. Also, it bypasses the need for your headpiece to have A2DP.

Thats good info man thanks ill give it a whirl. Do you have to have Froyo to use the app you mentioned? Im rooted using cognition. Thanks again

Buy a BT headset with A2DP support. There are a lot of them out there, some look just like normal BT headset like my Jabra BT8040.
A2DP is the only official way to get music out of any phone.

Really? I found the program on another forum about two months ago, I've been using it on my Captivate with all the roms I've tried, no problems at all. So far I've had Cognition, Cognadian Bacon, and Axura, and Super Mono Froyo worked with all the Froyo roms.

I said offical way. Means you can use with any phone, current of future, smart or dumb, out of box without any other software. Of course you can keep try finding an app for whatever your current phone is. But when you switch to a new phone running different OS, you will have to find new app (may or maynot exist).

I should have thanked the other post, but that app worked just fine. I just wish I could use this with my iPod instead.

3.1: Mouse cursor

Anyone know how to change the mouse cursor, so that you can SEE it? ;-)
I'm sure some rom's will be out soon that do this - just wondering... I'd like to see it bigger, and a brighter color.

#1. I'd love to be able to increase point speed/acceleration too! Patience though, I'm sure these things will all be here before we know it!
Gotta say though, I was shocked. I have two different wireless mice, and both connected almost instantly after plugging the USB receivers into my Xoom. Definitely as quick, if not quicker, than on my win7 desktop.

So I really need help with this. I went and bought a Interlink Bluetooth Mouse. The Xoom finds the mouse, but asks for a pairing code. Ive tried 0000 1111 2222 9999 1234 9876 everything.... NOTHING works.
The manual says use the option that says there is no password.
Anyone know what I can do or try??? Please?

I am in the same boat. I have an older bluetooth Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer that the Xoom sees just fine, but when I try to pair it I am asked for the passkey. On my Win7 laptop I do not need to enter a passkey. I have tried 0000, 1234 and several other combinations with no luck. If anyone could give me a suggestion I would really appreciate it.

"6789“ is also a common number.

I remember having a mouse that had a 5 digit key. Try 00000 or 11111. Good luck.

Does the mouse show up on top of every app? And can you use it to type with the on screen keyboard?

Tried 00000 still nothing :/
No way to connect bluetooth without a code?

i too still have this issue, the odd thing is that my captivate on 2.2 stock recognizes and pairs my Blue Take 510 bluetooth mouse just fine as if on my pc with no passkey required but on my dell streak official 2.2.2 it asks for the key every time causing failure i am completely dumbfounded -someone plz help

what about 5555?

You need to get a more current mouse, I ran into this issue with a Logitech mouse I bought a MS Notebook mouse (Bluetooth) 5000 and never have had an issue with it

you need to purchase a compatible mouse for the xoom I had this issue with a Logitech mouse found out it was a mouse issue not a tablet issue I returned the mouse and bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook 5000 Mouse. I bought this mouse after talking to Motorola support and stated this is the one they are told to recomend.

Thinking of a little tweak... question how many people use a mouse with their tabs?

I use a mouse with my Xoom (and keyboard) especially when in a meeting. Makes it easier especially when using the keyboard. It would be great to have a larger pointer however! :thumbup:

Headphone Control...?

For anyone with a Senation already.
If anyone could be bothered...
Just wondering if a Headphone Controller app will work with the Sensation..??
I really want to get the iPhone version of the Sennheiser Headphones (PMX 680i Sports) which has the 4 ring controller along with Vol/Next Trk/etc and was wondering if this app works on the Sensation to allow that type of control.
(I think the HTC supplied phones have controls, but want better sound)
(http://www.appbrain.com/app/headset-button-controllertrial/com.kober.headset)
Really would like to know before diving in to the device. It would be great know if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....
Cheers to all.

unfortuantly i do not have a wired headset with any button controls to test foe you. But i do use a couple of bluetooth headsets and the AVRCP is fully supported.
Not exactly what your after but may be of some interest to you

I have old Koss wired phones w/ controler i used with ipod and it doesnt work ... as for sennheiser, the bundled hs which came with my previous phone the HTC HD mini was from sennheiser so maybe even that one comming with sensation is

As of this moment, I can only confirm that the Play/Pause button on headphones designed for iPhone works normally on the Sensation without having to use Christoph Kober's Headset Button Controller app (which is really, really awesome in case anyone is wondering).
This is in contrast to, for example, the Nexus S I had before which would not properly recognize any button inputs at all. I had to use the controller app to get music working on that phone.
I'll reinstall the Headset Button Controller app and test it out with my girlfriend's iPhone earbuds tonight, and I'll get back to you once I confirm whether or not it reads the Volume Up and/or Volume Down buttons. I have the sneaking feeling that it won't, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised :]

Thx sosquidtaste
I really appreciate your effort.
There are a ton of really good headphones out there sold as iPhone capable with controllers that woud be great to be able to use them (working) on the Sensation. I can understand why they are marketed to the iphone folks, but it seems they miss a big chunk of the market by not working with other devices..
(I like the Sennheisers because they go around the back of your neck as one unit - not a big fan of bud style)
So, here's hoping!
Cheers

Sorry mate-- I just checked in the app's debug mode and confirmed that the Sensation still doesn't recognize anything but the center button on earbuds designed for iPhones. It was worth a shot!

Bugger...!
Appreciate the effort. I wonder why this is such an 'out there' thing? To me at least, it would seem logical for the OS to support something so, well, basic as headphone control. Wonder why there has been no 'universal format' for this type of thing.
....sigh.

Glad to help-- I was pretty curious about this too, given just how well the center button behaved even without the headset controller app. I just wish it turned up more encouraging results.
Competing platforms are great for the most part, except when small but important features get shot up in the crossfire ;(

Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?

As I understand it, the control issue is related to specific hardware configurations in the headphone port of our phones so not even the most righteous of hacks will enable them to read input that they aren't wired to receive ;(
I'm no engineer though, so I'd be happy to be contradicted by someone in the know

Interesting...
So why I wonder, does the HTC specific Headphones work?
Do they use a different set of rules/hardware/ whatever...?
Curious.

[Q] Using the full wiimote

there are many apps that can make the wiimote compatible with android, but all of them only use the buttons, so I would like to know if there is one that also uses the gyroscope and the accelerometer within the wiimote, if there isn't any app that could do that, i would like to know how what is necessary to make the wiimote act as the proper gyroscope and accelerometer from an android device, any help in the development of this application is much apreciated

Recently I was working on adding native support key libraries for AOSP based ROMs and found some interesting things about using a Wiimote with android. The massive issue is pairing....which is why an app is needed. I spend a good 8 hours trying to resolve the pairing issues, but straight pairing was almost impossible....and its different for every Wiimote.
As for the various sensors, try looking into Glovepies config files for the Wiimote.
Hope that info helps. After 8 hours of slamming my head off the desk, I gave up on them lol

hmm interesting, and if we use another app to pair like the usb/bt joystick center, do you think we could use the build in gyroscope of the wii?
