Request: Wii Controller

I'd really appreciate it if someone on here can figure out a way to get the Wii Controller app running on the EVO with or without going around whatever the problem is with Sense UI. I'm using a stock rooted EVO running the latest rooted updates.

That would be awesome!

Just posted under the other thread, this one being the original I thought the information would be better here. I most recently tested "Wiimote Controller" (free version) on Avalaunch's Deodexed 2.2 ROM, and keep coming up with a failed to initialize error, same thing happens with stock.

Still looking for a way to get this to work... bump.

This. Screw Sense and its lack of Bluetooth support.

hah
the best part is how 4g works in cyanog
oh.. wait..

I looked into this a few weeks ago, I found the actual developer of the wiimote app had posted for help trying to solve the issue, it sounds like it's something as basic as sense using a custom function for bluetooth syncing and the developer doesn't know which function call to use as a replacement. The function could very likely exist, he just needs to know what it is.
Here is the thread, which he seems to have abandoned..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676212
We need to connect him with some of the other seasoned developers, htc would probably share whatever the function he needs to use is if someone would just ask using the correct channels.. I've seen several developers in the evo forums get direct responses from HTC over proprietary code issues, I think it's all about persistance.

Bump. We despritly need this support for our EVOs...

if cyanogen can do it, someone else should be able to mimic that and port it over to us

the problem is the bluetooth drivers in EVERY rom that has HTC Sense. Period. Unless HTC fixes it, it more than likely won't happen. it's not exactly something that can be flashed or installed...

Makes sense.

[Q] Is alt rom still needed to make gtab better

Noobie here so please be kind.
I have been reading posts for only a couple of weeks and was wanting to try tnt lite 4.2 but what I can't understand is it really needed after the OTA update. Is there any real advantage? I get the handango market and play "angry birds" just fine. I guess what I am asking is it still worth it?
I have install cwm but just wanted some input before I pulled the trigger.

I have not done it
I am using their stock ROM without any issues for the past month now. Switched to the classic home and it has been working great. Yaa there is no android market, but there are lots of other places to get apps and you can easily side load apps and they have been working great for me! I don't think I will be changing the ROM on mine (maybe if someone gets honeycomb going on it then I might reconsider).
Hope this helps!

I use stock 3588 with the enhancement pack. Stablest I have seen yet. Ran both Vegan and TNT Lite and liked them, but little intricacies caused my to go back. Sounds like there is an OTA in the works that looks pretty sweet.

TnT seems to be cooking up an update that, if released, will add a LOT of the speed enhancements that TNT Lite has had for the last 2 months.
You'd still want a custom ROM for full market, root, adhoc and a few other things - but I agree that TnT is getting better with each update they make. I hope that continues.

I'm also using stock with enhancement pack. Market is still somewhat limited as compared to my Droid 1 but you can side load.

Problem with side loading is the malware. Even GAM has been getting some nasty bugs. TNTlite has been very stable and faster. I ran stock until a week ago.

I just ordered one of these. I didnt do my research until after I bought it. I didnt realize it doesnt have the android market. So, I'm guessing it doesnt have the google apps either??? Like no gmail, youtube, etc?
Can you just get the market apk and side load it and have the full android market?

No need for that if all you want is market. Either install the enhancement pack, whuch gives you market plus more, or get the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk and put them in /system/app.

It seems like that next OTA might be the one that gives a reason to upgrade, assuming the update doesn't have the problem w the boot thing.

Not my experience: enhancement worked, but very limited, moving to tntlite gives probably 80% vs 1%

Thanks I did install the enhancement pack and got the market up and running.

WHERe do you bet enhancement pack. Thanks all

Listen to me very carefully. It takes about 30 seconds of your time to fix the market.

And it starts! LOL the non researching 10k+ crew are probably flooding the xda as we speak trying to figure out why this thing isn't what they expected
I like to think of it as a Pinto engine in a Ferrari lol, You just need to swap out the rom with tnt lite or another great rom and you will be juuuuuuust fine. Most of all roms come with market prebuilt in. If you want to stick with stock Viewsonic 2.2... well then IDK what your thinking lol

is there a way to get Gmail contacts and Google Calendar without flashing a different rom. I plan on keeping the stock rom most likley BUT really want gmail-contacts-calendar sync with google . ( dont care as much about market as I sideload)

Google Body?

Is there any possibility to get Google Body working on android 2.3?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.body&feature=top-free
This is a pretty cool app, unfortunately it wont let me install it
i think it's one of those that only works in Honeycomb

yes cant install

If you look on the right column it says "REQUIRES ANDROID:
3.0 and up" I too was excited to try this. I believe it's for showing off the new Honeycomb renderscript.

I'm sure some one will eventually make it work on 2.3.3
unless we all get an early release of 3.0

I think this is a bit of a show-off app for tablets really. I'm sure we'll have it when CM8 comes along

It was taken down......what was it?

Can't see that happening with Captivate's processor, despite the fact that they are used in other handsets; we don't seem to have the wherewithal to satisfy Netfix's DRM scheme.
I would love it if someone would post a link to the .apk to be able to 'test' compatibility...

Just go to the web market, it's there.

the web market shows it grayed out for both my xoom and my captivate.

I have the apk from a while ago, march 11th I believe... it works, but playback fails saying it's an unsupported device.
Gotta be a way to spoof it!

I downloaded the app in the "Themes and Apps" section. Its running great under Perception II beta 3.

It runs under continiuum 5.4 without a problem.

just downloaded it from the themes and apps forum thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076171

You need to edit your build.prop. Go to the Netflix thread in Themes and Apps to see how.

I could be wrong but I think that is because CM7 is not a JVB or JVH official samsung code release. Those of us running actual Samsung code look like Nexus S devices to the netflix app.

Sweet, the apk I had was old! I am running the new one streaming Netflix w/ Subpression 3.2!

Thanks, that did it!
However now all the apps think I'm on a G2. And swype won't work.
Could someone that's on a 2.3 Samsung rom with netflix working post their build.prop file?
Thanks again.

It seems that GB roms running as a nexus s in the build.prop can access playback. Anybody got a quick way to edit that file and directions on what to change for people with cyanogenmod?
EDIT: Doh, I'm an idiot. I should read the full thread before commenting. Thanks guys.

I tried it on cm7 with the build.prop spoofed to look like an HTC Vision and when it plays a video, there is no image, just sound. Any ideas?

Same.
My guess is that it is because CM lacks all of the codecs which you get with the official samsung roms.

I sideloaded it but it doesn't work on stock froyo. Another checkmark on the list to update to Continuum...

Works fine for me. Watched an episode of prison break, on my second now.
Running CM7 the 05092011 nightly.

Netflix works on the Tab!!!

This post here.
Overcome 2.0 Beta 1. Not tested on anything else yet.
Enjoy

um, no...it does not. then, after edititing the build prop file, trying to fool netflix to think im htc vision (g2) still i get the same device error. this trick must have been patched already.
edit, apologies for the lack of details
cm7 2.3.4 gets detected by netflix and stops me at the device not supported pop up.

Are you trying with a stock rom or a custom rom?

It's working on my gTab... I am currently watching Battlestar Galactica.
I am running Overcome ROM Version 2.2.2 Beta 2. Some scenes were a bit grainy at first, but it seems to get progressively better with usage.

I didn't state nor did the link I linked to state that any prop editing needs to be done. Fresh Overcome GB ROM and the APK in the link and Netflix plays. I just finished watching Predators. Don't state it doesn't work when its just your device thats not working.

sorry i forgot to mention that im running techno's cm7 2.3.4 (perhaps thats the prob?) ill be trying overcome asap.
apologies for saying it didnt work for me...try and relax a bit fella, my tab is working just fine otherwise.
apparently the overcome guys are the only lucky ones?

On my Wifi only Tab I changed the lines in the build.prop to HTC and I can login and hear sound when I select a movie but no video.

I believe wifi tabs have different hardware then 3g ones. Build prop could be one fix but I think there might be a hardware check or something that is preventing video for some.

SO i take it, Netflix only works on GSM overcome Roms...Sprint tab rooted with original Rom does not work. The screen just disappears when you log in. SMH at Google. To many software/hardware versions for any company to make a app right.

i ment in like australia..

Works fine with the new Gingerbread ROM on Tmo US.

another +1 on overcome 2.0 (2.3.3) i havnt had much time to test but it loads and plays. ill see in the next couple days how it works without wifi. at home it seems to be all well.
comming from technomancer's cm7 port overcome is MUCH MUCH smoother, cleaner, faster and has none of the issues i used to have with cm...but thats what you get with ports that arent updated regularly. the older overcome worked well, but i chose cm7 because of the settings and such, and back a couple months ago there wasnt THAT big of a diff (and cm is whats on my g2...so i thought id prefer it) now after using the latest 2.0 i cant believe how well this tab functions now.
so, netflix made me switch roms, and it works!!...but i got a bonus surprise with how well overcome really is.
very good day for my tablet!

Works perfectly on my us tmobile tab with overcome beta 1 and 2.3.3! Picture quality is very crisp. Streams with no lag
Works so well that I was on the phone with netflix yesterday and was telling the guy on the phone about it, info on 2.3.3.
and the the netflix app in his email got me 6 free months of service via coupons.
Awsome!

Also I think its funny that one of my other devices is actually supported and it doesnt work on it! Rather watch it on the tab anyways.

does not work on att stock rom.
