Tossing this idea around if anyone has any input, it would be a huge help!
I would like to take a logitech usb gaming controller take the usb end and find a female usb input to micro, put that into my evo to run my emulaters on. I find it difficult with no keyboard to play the games, so I figured this would be a good option. Im sure I will need to get a linux based driver and upload to my sd for the controller. Is this possible, can this work and if not, is there any other alternitive??? Thanks for you help!!!
Have you tried the wiimote app? You'll need a rom without sense but its damn cool!

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.

So, like most of everyone with an HTC Sense based phone that does MHL out I have been trying since day one to play games on my big screen with my wii remotes as controllers. I have tried every combination up to date, and I can tell you that none of them worked.
That is until last night!
I installed the newest version of the stock HTC sensation rom repackged on deodexed by HdRevolution fam

There you go! have fun. I''m gonna go post this everywhere!
Can't wait to give this a try when I get home. Have you tried any of the other wii ime apps?
Thanks for the heads up.
I tried with one other app that actually told me that it couldn't connect to the device and didn't look like it was working. but I went right back to Wii Controller IME and started playing! Good Luck!
Oh myyyyyyyy......... I was actually hoping for something like this to give minecraft a shot.

what about sixaxis controller ?, does this mean bluetooth was fixed ?.
I don't know about any other bluetooth devices, but you are free to try and post on the status of that in this thread.
Good Luck
doesn't seem to work, im still amazed why is working for you with wii, bluetooth must have been changed.
good for emulators unless your wii is hacked to run emulators

My Wii has emulators too, but now I finally have a tiny portable gaming machine. Especially when my kids are always on the Wii anyway

Are you booted into the new Rom and using the correct Wii controller IME app? I am waiting for my buddy's Sensation to show up over here so I can fix his too. Then I will post again with my results. Make sure you flashed the required update to the phone listed in bright red above. Then full dalvik, cache, and data wipe. Then install Rom.
sorry i was referring to sixaxis controller.
i have never tried using a wiimote and MHL at the same time (i have used both separately though).. but i never knew there was an issue with using both at the same time? is it due to the bluetooth drivers?
also i cannot imagine using MHL to game with even if it did work with external controllers because from my experience the output through MHL has always been a bit laggy so i couldnt imagine gaming with it on current technology
I just tried the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 and InsertCoin 5.1.5 and my MHL adapter works, but on the screen it says "Input Not Supported". (I use an Acer computer LCD with 1080p HD Resolution)
Could it be ROM related issues, LCD because it just works with HDTVs? I'm confused, the MHL adapter doesn't even have instructions.
I was able to connect the WiiMote on MiiUi and combine it with MHL too, (Works well with USB/BT Joystick Center in combination with emulators of older game systems.) however I have not yet been able to consistently use it with an N64-Emulator.
I wrote more about my many many attempts here:
miuiandroid.com/community/threads/pairing-wiimote-with-htc-sensation.16406/#post-123414
but it doesn't seem that anyone is helping there, maybe someone over here has an idea about what to do.
Hello
Is it possible to use the PS3 Controller with the external USB Adapter/Extension?
I saw some people use the PS3 controller with the dock...
So I wonder if it's possible to do the same thing using the USB adapter?
And if possible... will I need specific apps?
No answer... anyone??
Yes. I have it working on my tf101 running Revolution 3.1. It is supposed to be natively support in ICS. I say this because i bought the sixaxis app before i read that little tidbit. And i tried to use it. Honestly i dont think thats what did it though but i got it working. At first with the usb dongle but then wirelessly. Very cool. I played R-Type with it.
I couldnt find a list of games that worked. I bought Riptide GP but it didnt work. I only tried the first night though.

I know that I can use it with Bluetooth with Sixaxis app BUT I have to change the master using PC!
I was asking if it's possible to change the master directly from the Transformer...
Apparently... it changes automatically if you plug it in to the keyboard dock or maybe i'm wrong?
I don't have the keyboard!
The external USB adapter doesnt work any different from the USB ports on the dock. So if it works on the dock's usb ports, it should work in the adapter too.
I don't have the keyboard dock either. I meant I used this to plug in the controller

Yeah! Exactly what I wanted to use!
It's not a phone-question, but since the OS is pretty much the same, I assume, I'll ask anyway...
I read that the original wired Xbox 360 controller should work plug-and-play with Android ICS. I have a Cherry M-1007 tablet with Android ICS on it, yet, if I plug in the controller (in the fullsized USB-port), it starts blinking, so it does get power, but it does nothing else.
Is there any known way to get this controller working on tablets where it's not supported natively? I bought it specifically to use with Snesoid/Supergnes on my tablet, and there are lots of tablets where it DOES work plug -and-play.Just not on mine, of course
Could it make ANY difference at all if I plug it into the smaller USB-port with an adapter? My keyboard works fine on the tablet, and that plugs into the smaller USB...
Or is there any app I can use to make it work? Preferably a free one, since I don't have a creditcard, so even if an app is just € 0,01, I can't buy it without going through a big hassle...
Please help
100 views and nobody has an idea in which direction I should be looking? That makes me sad
Seriously, nobody has ANY idea whatsoever?
Very few use it this way it seems. The issue most likely is a kernel issue. Something may not be enabled in your devices kernel. Other then that I have no idea.

That really is too bad The people at the official Cherry forums are ignoring my question as it is, so I guess I have a wired controller for nothing now Good thing I do have an Xbox so on some rare occassion I might have some use for a second controller, but I'm still very bummed about this I was so looking forward to playing my old SNES favourites when on holiday...
Thanks If anybody has gotten this to work or has some kind of clue, I'm still open to suggestions
As a gamer I am really interested in this phone because of it's awesome specs but there is one important detail I would really like to know. Can you connect a gamepad, like the dualshock 4 for example, through otg on this device? I would really appreciate it if an owner ran a test to see if it's possible.
P.S. I want to run emulators on it.
Can't anyone tell me if this thing supports gamepads? Please!
If you root the phone then you should be able to use ps3/4 pads with sixaxis app

That is through Bluetooth but what about otg? What if I flash CM on it? Will it surely work then?

I don't know as I don't have a ds4 to test. But isn't wireless better than connecting with USB?

I am a input delay freak. I have enough android devices that have disappointing me when it comes to bluetooth gamepad connection. I just want a simple, lag free, wired connection. Wires, while they might be uncomfortable, they will always beat wireless when it comes reliability and speed of data transfer.
Last time I used sixaxis on my Nexus 4, it was flawless but I'll ask my cousin if he can bring his ds4 so I can test it with a USB cable and sixaxis
