Gaming controller for my gensoid ( and others)

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!

HTC Sensation Wii Remote control AND MHL OUT! (VIDEO PROOF!)

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.

[Q] anyone try to port sony tab s remote controll

Noob with a 6210. Peel sucks and I do want to use the ir to control stuff. Is it possible to get the the apk for Sony s tab remote and try to get it to work on this tab plus?
I searched and found not much but since the Sony finally has root I thought it might be a way to get this done.

U might want to wonder into one of their forums and ask one of the users if they would do you the favor of pulling that specific apk from their tab and have them upload it for u.

Why would u not just use peel? I've got at least 5 TV'S @lone nit to mention all of my other players. It is sometimes a pain but works. Maybe the Sony one is that much better?
Sent from my GT-P6210 using XDA

On the face of it, the sony IR app is much better than peel, it supports sky uk satellite boxes and windows mediacentres, which I'm pretty sure peel doesn't, so I for one would love this app on my tab. I think I'll head over to the sony tab forum.

Peel sucks. Here's why:
1) Add an HDTV alone. So far so good as I can change inputs, channels, and volume on the TV.
2) Go to add a reciever. The self test powers the reciever on and switches inputs but when complete it will NOT save it to the room profile.
3) Start over andthis time tell Peel I use a reciever to adjust my volume. I select my TV and then it takes me straight to setting up the audio portion of the reciever. This saves both to my room profile but completely skips over the portion of setting my TV's inputs to make sure it's right for watching television. Kind of stupid that I have to use my TV remote to switch inputs on the TV now when Peel can/should be doing that for me.
4) Contact Peel and listen to them tell you that it's all the fault of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 + drivers and when ICS is released, with the updated driver, it might be fixed.
I've tried with a number of reciever & television brand combos to the extent of what I have in the house (3 TV's LG, JVC, Samsung and 2 AV Recievers Onkyo, Sony) and it does exactly the same with any combination of them.

Yup with the Sony u can control different equipment by choosing it from the main menu. With peel u can't

Thanks to the Sony guys for giving us the software packages now to start trying to get it to work and thanks to Paul for going over and asking for it

i have tried to get this to install but it wont so im gonna rename it and try to install it from the mnt asec folder. thats where most of my propriatary stuff gets installed on my HTC but i am new to the samsung game
also we may want to take this over to the DEV section and see if anyone in there can work some magic on it?

It would be wonderful if you can get this to work. All of my TVs are Windows Media center based.

ok I tried to install with es explorer. Took it over to the system/app . Then fixed permissions and still no luck. Went to the store and put esfile on a demo Sony and found a bunch of bin files in system/bin don't know if I needed them but pulled em with Bluetooth anyway. Will try to mess with it some more tomorrow.
Btw, Sony s is on ICS and its smooth even with the slower CPU.
Hear that Samsung? Get us some 4.0 and a decent remote app!!!!!!!!

Look in Play App store for Touchsquid app. It now works with the Tab 7 plus and Tab 2. The demo version works with both even though it wasn't very clearly stated that it works with the 7 plus. It definitely does work with the t 7 plus and is very promising. There are two paid version with different capabilities.

360 wired controller not working on ICS

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

mirroring s7 screen with netflix

I have a s7 which I use screen mirror to show my phone on my Samsung smart tv. (For reference before you ask tv has no Internet and phones got unlimited data) I mirror my screen with you tube and other video services, two weekends ago I mirrored netflix and watch 2 movies. This weekend when I connect with netflix running it just connects and then disconnects. If I connect then open netflix, as soon as it opens the screen goes black and disconnects. I tried netflix support and they was unhelpful. I also connected my TV and downloaded a firmware update, thinking that was a issue. Phones up to date and all involved devices are up to date.
I wonder about copyright issues with digital media, can't mirror to second screen for recording. I asked netflix, of course he said no. However I don't think he understood what I was asking. Props to him for doing his job, however I needed someone with knowledge of their software.
I also just tried it from my asus tablet and same issue. So multiple devices and same issue, comon item is the tv. I performed a factory reset on my TV and no resolve and updated firmware version.
Like I said before it worked 2 weeks ago, now it doesn't. However youtube, fullscrean, directv, and Hulu all work just fine.
Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I found your post because I am trying to resolve. It seems to be a problem with Netflix, since it's the only app that forces the screen mirroring to close. I hope someone has an answer soon. I just got really hooked on watching Netflix again since we've been able to download their shows and watch later. I don't have internet at home, but can download over wifi at work. Come on, guys! Help us out.

I know I'm on a trial of netflix, however I don't see a use in keeping it... a 5in screen if I can't share to my 70in. Phones to small and tablet isn't much better.

Any one got a idea, come on people need assistance here...

My netflix works fine streaming from both my S7 and my HTC 10, difference is it's a Panasonic Tv. Samsung TV's are a PITA i've found and I struggled to screen cast to two different Samsung TV's with my S7.
Not what you want to hear i'm sure.

I understand what your saying but how come all works until Netflix is open. Once the loading N appears it disconnects and won't reconnect until I close the Netflix app. I will make a video of it tomorrow. I'll also try to track down someone with a smart TV to try theirs.

Same problem here..any info would be greatly appreciated...Hulu direct tv everything else works fine except for netflix..some days it will work most days no luck..my tv is a sharp roku tv and it worked fine until late recently

I understand what he's saying about a Samsung TV, but you got a sharp. Also it's multiple devices and only one single app that's common having the issue. Directv, vudu and full screen works fine, so does youtube.

the cheap is you buy some cheap wireless router and sync with your samsung s7 or make wifi hotspot from your samsung s7 and then connect your smart tv. but remember maybe when you share screen this share send data to samsung and all share that you see it can see samsung too. yestarday i share samsung s7 with my smart tv and when i block the smart tv program it didnt work, so maybe it when you unblock the screen sharing it send all what you see with samsung, and man be carefull becouse when you netflix screen share maybe it record what you screen share, this too do it teamviewer, you screen share with teamviewer but after that teamviewer can see all what you had screen share, and if you ask teamviewer to stop record your screenshare they will lie like obama.

What about sharing from my Asus tablet, also tv doesn't have Internet. Only the Asus and s7, they connect to the TV via direct WiFi connection.

if your tablet support make wifi virtual router then it will work. im glad that your tc donr have internet becouse you pay much money and they spy on peoples and i kust remember if you have laptop then it too can make virtual router, you need to see in windows and in linux.

Has anyone had any success? This seems like a failing issue to get resolved. There has to be some one there smart, I'm a 13 year network administrator and I've hit a snag. I see multiple people with issues, yet no resolution.

Haha brain fart.... I totalled missed the pita... I got it...

Just a thought but is it looking for your TV & phone to be connected to the same WiFi network (through a router) rather than using WiFi Direct? Just a distinction I found when pairing my account with an app eg. Waukitv.

Unless the hardware is relying on it, I don't think so. The only Netflix setting is a selection of internet speed. The purpose of Wi-Fi direct is a private direct connection. Also just got the Android N update and still no difference... Also wow it changed the looks of my phone. Especially the settings window. :laugh:

I am having the same exact problem. I have a pretty for signal 4G 2 bars, but I still can watch other things using screen mirroring...just not netflix...which is the only one I really wanted to watch. Any luck at all, anyone?

No it's been several weeks, I'm seeing same issue with multiple devices and tv's across the board.
Hopefully someone can give us a solution, I plan on calling Netflix tomorrow and trying to talk to a developer.

I really hope they have an answer for you. I called the general line on Sunday...got pushed to Verizon...then to Samsung...they all say it is the other ones problem....I am betting on Netflix. Keep us in the loop.

I called Netflix and didn't stop pushing until I made it to a engineer, the only screen mirror software they support is second screen and google cast. Other may work but are found to be unstable and unreliable. I will follow up once I've had a chance to test with my results.
