[GAME] Touch Drummer Demo -- Now with Multi-Touch

Hey guys. I'm a poster from the HTC Vogue (Touch) Android forums here. I've been working on writing this drum game for a few months now and I wanted let you all know about it so you can enjoy playing it like I do.
You may have seen a post a few weeks ago on the home portal about "Matt's Drum Game," well I added a few cool features, renamed it "Touch Drummer Demo" and uploaded that to the market as well. Basically it's a game where you get to tap on a drumset and it plays the sounds. You can also go into the Tempo menu and set the bass drum to loop to any beats per minute from 30-240, or even change the soundset.
Version 1.3
Updated 6/11/10
This version brings the most requested feature, multi-touch. The sounds have been changed a bit, and the menus have been reworked. You can get it from the Market now, or download the .apk from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ne3jmdnlmjo
Just uploaded a new version (5/8/10) that reworks the whole app. Now you can slide from drum to drum, or click and hold one drum to repeat that sound. Menu allows for fullscreen drumset, or switch to techno sounding drums. Visually sizes correctly on all screens now.
Well I'd love to hear from you guys on what you think about the game. So go download "Touch Drummer Demo" and rate and comment. I promise that it is a ton of fun, especially for a drummer like myself.
Recent updates added new animated menus, "techno" sounds, support for all screen sizes, and runs on Cupcake 1.5 too now. I'm getting a lot of feedback now, since there have been over 10,000 downloads of "Touch Drummer", and I'm adding some new features, mainly multi-touch support.

That's odd. That phone has one of the new capacative screens, doesn't it? The ones that are super-sensitive to a finger but not to a stylus? I didn't think that the two presses would work on a phone like that, but quick alternating presses should work great. I've been testing my next multi-touch version on my dad's HTC Incredible, but that has 2.1 and you need that for true multi-touch.

Updated first post with new version, and put download link in case people don't have Market access.

It wont let me touch two things at once on the desire.
IE, im banging away on the hi hat, and to hear the base drum the hi hat has to stop sounding.

I will add multitouch to the next version. I can get it working, but I think I would have to recompile a new version just for Android 2.1. Unless, does anyone here know how I can keep 1.6 as the minimum system but add features from 2.1 if the phone supports it?

Updated first post with new apk.
I still don't know how to make one app that will support multi-touch features if the phone has 2.1 and is multitouch capable, but the app does not require it and will run also on 1.6. Anyone know about this? Or do I just have to put two different versions, one for 1.6 and one with multitouch for 2.1?

I found out the solution to this problem, thanks to this page:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...zoom-functionality-for-images/2632722#2632722
You put android sdk target to 7, but min sdk to 3 or whatever you would like to support. The code from that webpage will catch the error if a phone that doesn't do multitouch tries to run the app. Then, you can code accordingly from that point. I'm putting this optimization in version 1.3 of Touch Drummer Demo, so the same version of the game will support multitouch in Android 2.0+, and will also work fine without multi-touch on devices all the way back to Cupcake 1.5. The new version should be on the market in the next few days. I'll update the first post when it gets uploaded.
Also, so anyone can try out the multi-touch part of my game, I will add multi-touch to the demo version and release the update sometime after the pro version has been released.

Updated first post with new version and .apk file for download.

[Q] has anyone linked a keyboard via usb or bluetooth yet??

im determined to get down to some fallout 1 and 2 on the go on my dhd and iv had a look into the bluetooth keyboard routem just seems a bit much to spend 30 odd gbp on a keyboard online to discover it wont work on my DHD.
Pls someone put me out of my misery and direct me to a bluetooth (or micro usb) keyboard and mouse set up that will work on the DHD
i will be most grateful
meh

How are you playing Fallout 1 and 2!?!?
You will need scripts to get HiD working. N900 can use keyboard and mouse via BT (and USB now) but you need to get scripts, and I'm guessing this would be the same.
Look and see if anyone has it running on Desire or Z. Should be easy to bring them over.

This is my point I'M NOT PLAYING IT YET but this is down to the fact I have no keyboard or mouse yet. And as for how I would run the Games I wud use a dos box style emulator then play the Games. Th insides of the dhd specs show up as good as my mums desktop which I play fallout on so I imagine if u can get doom ported to Android fallout will be no buggy either. Can u imagine the joy of long train journeys with fallout to keep u occupied. As for the second paragraph of ur post I have no idea about any of that stuff. I have seen a MINI bt keyboard saying it is desire Hd compatible but until its confirmed I ain't parting with my cash.

Cyanogen includes a program called Bluekeyboard JP
I have used my logitech bluetooth keyboard with mouse trackpad designed for the PS3 with it before.
Detects it as an HID device and gives a keyboard option in input settings. Works farely well.
I have tried all the other bluetooth keyboard apps in the market and none of them enabled me to use it until I used cyanogen.

Using Freedom Pro Bluetooth keyboard with DHD
To original poster for this thread,
http://www.htcdesirehdforum.com/htc...tooth-keyboard-for-android/new/?topicseen#new
Australian poster in the above thread maintains she has got this keyboard to work. I have not bought one yet so cannot confirm that it works myself.
See item here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Freedom-Pro...IWJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294377170&sr=8-1
Good luck
M

Thanks Midgeslayer, that looks very cool. Just friggen expensive in South Africa. Just under $200

The safest option would be I'd say using a BT Keyboard like the Freedom Pro or maybe trying out Bluetooth JP or other software on another BT Keyboard.
The cheapest way if you don't own a bluetooth keyboard would be to use a USB Keyboard and create an adaptor or USB Dongle as follows. Again I'm still too nervous about this. If someone with a better understanding of electronics and the Desire HD could explain to me if solderding up this USB Dongle which shorts a pin on the USB connector is safe then I'll do it... The parts can be bought from dealextreme.com or ebay for next to nothing. Mini USB Keybaords are also very cheap.
Here's the link:
http://gigaom.com/mobile/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/
Which do you think would be better for saving battery, a USB keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard? I am wondering if any real difference as I am planning on doing this for full days of lectures and typing notes.

Possible Blueinput solution
I can't say about the DHD, but you might like to check at the teksoftco forum
I am running their Blueinput driver with an Apple Wifi Keyboard on a Nexus One v 2.2.1 OK. Only snag for me is that the keyboard has a Norwegian layout and Blueinput treats it as a US one..
Mvh

According to their website Orange UK are about to offer the freedom universal bluetooth keyboard for a measly £7. Does anyone know if this version of the keyboard is compatible with the DHD in the same way as the Freedom Pro?

Android Phone as TF Game Controller

I'm wondering if there is an app that exists where you can use your android phone as a game controller to play games on the TF? The TF is a little bit uncomfortable for playing games like Zelda for extended periods of time. It would be nice to know that I can just grab out my phone and prop my TF up to start playing.
I know that using an xbox controller, Wii controller, or PS3 controller via bluetooth or wired works but the problem is I only have a wired xbox 360 controller and I don't own the TF docking station (yet).

yo dawg i herd you like android, so we controlled an
android with an android so you can game while you game.

i lol'd too hard...... shamed

Im hoping this comes along eventually. I remember this on iPad + iPhone. You could install a snes emulator on iPad and the controll app on the iphone and use it that way. You had to be jailbroken for it to work because the app was in cydia.

In addition, using your TF w/ Dock as a PS3 keyboard...

There's an app for that! (c)

Android phone as game controller on pc
In order to use your android device as a game controller on your PC you need 2 applications. One for your android device called "agamepad.apk", and another program for your PC called "PPJoySetup". PPJoySetup is currently being made compatible with Windows 7 64-bit, and perhaps a few other OS. Here are the instructions on how to install and use, as well as a few links to the directions and pertaining to this subject:
aGamepad allows you to use your Android based phone as gamepad for Windows. It supports three analog axes and up to 32 buttons (currently implemented 4).
Special thanks to:
Tsutomu SEKI
Windows side of application is based on his sources.
Deon van der Westhuysen
For writing such a great application as PPJoy.
How to use
Download aGamepad.apk and install it on your device
Download PPJoySetup and install it on your PC
Download controller.dll and extract it somewhere
After installing PPJoySetup run Configure Joysticks (Programs->Parallel Port Joystick)
Press Add
Make sure that Parallel port field is set to Virtual Joysticks. Press Add
Wait for drivers to be installed
Choose currently added joystick from list and press Mapping
Press Next
Choose any number of axes (max 3)
Choose number of buttons (currently max 4)
Set POV to 0 and press Next
Make sure there is for each axis set Analog N and press Next
Press Next and Finish
Press Done
Now everything is ready for use
Run PPJoyDLL (Programs->Parallel Port Joystick)
Choose DLL type to Callback DLL interface and press Load DLL
Point the dll you saved earlier
Now run aGamepad on your phone (assuming that you have connected with your PC using wifi)
Enter IP address of your PC and press Ok
If you see in PPJoyDLL's window line "Sending joystick updates to PPJoy" it means that everything works.
Apparently, I cannot post any links because this website fears spam links, but you can google it. I just read that PPJoySetup 0.8.4.5 supports 64bit, there might also be .6 out now.
Enjoy.

MoffoCobain that is useful but not quite what the OP was after... the ability to use an android phone to control an android tablet.
Would be interested in doing this as well

Yay works on Samsung Captivate running cm7 but not any of the stock firmware. kind of a pain to use though as it only supports one touch at a time.

not work here. agamepad force close error on my LG3D stock rom 10K.

How do I update my Bluetooth stack to use this app?

[APK] Onlive Viewer For Android 2.2+ Devices

Here is the long waited Onlive Viewer app for android extracted from HTC Flyer Tablet's latest firmware update. The viewer allows you to use all features available on the desktop version of Onlive except for playing games (Yes, you cant play but you can go to arena and watch others play for now). Lets hope that onlive releases an update soon that will allow us to play onlive games on our android devices. If you dont know what onlive is, here is a piece of text from wikipedia:
OnLive is a cloud computing, gaming-on-demand service. Onlive itself is not a platform. The games are executed, synchronized, rendered, and stored on remote servers (running Windows) and delivered via the Internet to clients running either Windows or Mac OS X.
The service is available using the OnLive Game System, PCs running Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Intel-based Macs with OS X 10.5.8 or later. A low-end computer, as long as it can play video, may be used to play any kind of game since the game is computed on the OnLive server. For that reason, the service is being seen as a competitor for the console market. All games on the service are available in 720p format. OnLive recommends an Internet connection of 5 Mbit/s or faster, and a 3 Mbit/s connection meets the minimum system requirements. The average broadband connection speed in the US at the end of 2008 was 3.9 Mbit/s, while 25% of US broadband connections were rated faster than 5 Mbit/s.

HTC Desire works fine

does not work on Xperia X8

Works a treat on the HTC Desire S

Any chance on getting this on the Android Market? would be excellent so if there are any updates released we can get them automatically via the market.
Thanks for the app though

Works well on the samsung galaxy tab 8", thanks

Works well on the Galaxy Note, cheers.

Well works sgs i9000 why dont they just release it, even if its only a beta?!

Worked perfectly on Nook Color (MIUI / CM7.1) over LTE... Insane!
So, let's get this party started and get one that actually lets you play?

Works good on SE Xperia Pro and Neo, although stuff is hard to read I guess it is because this was made for higher resolutions like the flyer has.

Hm, now the official app is available .... in some countries ...

New version needs uploaded.

So far, the new Onlive client APK doesn't work on my 2.2.2 Device. Any chance of a fix for older devices?

[Q] [REQ] Bluetooth protocols required to pair SixAxis Controller

Wondering if there is any way to easily add-on / flash the 'required protocols' needed to pair a rooted Sensation with a SixAxis controller.
I downloaded the compatibility app to check, and it said the Bluetooth 'required protocols' were missing.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to pair a SixAxis for gaming on the sensation...
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html
Important - Due to the non-standard protocol that the controllers use to communicate with the host, this application requires root access. Additionally, it is incompatible with most HTC devices and some newer Samsung devices. This is due to the required bluetooth protocol not being implemented on these devices. We are actively looking into a work around, but currently the only solution is to install a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, that supports the required protocols.

Thanks to all the dev's in advance.

Not to crush your hopes, but I believe this is the same issue with connecting WiiMote controllers to Android phones...
... HTC has messed with the Bluetooth stack so much that on Sense roms they never got it working, and as far as I know nobody ever fixed it (or tried to fix it).
I believe that the HTC Bluetooth stack just misses portions for this (like raw device access I believe) and it isn't just as simple as 'adding missing files'. You can replace the entire Bluetooth stack with the AOSP one (if you got the drivers and all) but apparently that breaks Sense since the Bluetooth stack libs or such as needed to run Sense.
So AOSP / CyanogenMod ROMs (which aren't up and running yet on the Sensation I believe) or hope that somebody has a brand new idea on how to tackle this.

i saw sense rom with modified bluetooth stack and gut such apps working back then for the HD2 ...
i think it is possible to change the stack on sense roms if we would find the right dev to do it for us !!!!!

would also love to see this. even with Sensation's huge screen, my fingers covers half the screen when playing games with onscreen controls. hope this request gets solved.

Hi, I have read if I get my phone (HTC Sensation 4G) "rooted" (not sure how to do this) and install CyanogenMod 7 (could not find it for Sensation) I could use the SixAxis PS3 controller app on my phone.
Does anyone know where I could find CM7 to install on my Sensation (they have it for the MyTouch 4G which seems to be a similar phone, could I install that version of CM7?)?
How can I "root" my device?
Perhaps is there a different method to "tweek" the bluetooth protocol for my phone to pair with the PS3 controller?
I have seen a few youtube videos with the sixaxis working on other phones (Samsung Galaxy S, x10 mini pro, HTC Desire, HTC HD2) and since the Sensation 4G is the newest and best T-Mobile device I assumed there would be some way to get this app to work.
Im desperately trying to use the Sixaxis app (want to do 4 player Mario Kart and 007 via HDMI on my tv with 4 PS3 controllers!!) on my HTC Sensation 4G and if anyone has a way to make this work (or an update) please let me know- thank you!

Well, 4 player Mario Kart via HDMI is going to have to wait a little longer. First, we need AOSP or CM ROM's written for the Sensation (which they aren't), then we can go about trying to get it working.

1: Not out for sensation yet, wait. and No you can't, it's a different device.
2: There's a sticky on the Development section
3: Rewrite the bluetooth drivers
4: Yes there is wait for CM7 or rewrite protocol
5: And again, wait.

I know in the desirehd thread, one of the developers by the name of xxxpachaxxx was able to get six axis to work on a modified kernal for sense roms. Works on his rooms but may try it on others. You should see if he made one for the sensation and is not pm him and hope he can. Just proof to show it is possible. I wonder if they fixed this in Sense 4.0.
