Sixaxis Controller + g2x

youtu.be/bGulIF85SnM
I saw this in youtube and it's pretty cool!

Yea we've discussed this in the Transformer forums. Download the PC and Android Version. You have to connect it to your PC first to read the MAC address. Input the MAC address into the Android App and your done. At that point you just press the HOME button and it syncs up.
I haven't tried it yet as I am out of town (and don't own a PS3 anymore). I comtemplated about running over to a gamestop and picking up a PS3 controller just for giggles for emulators.
I have a Daltek (Nintendo wii Wireless bluetooth) but it is gimmicky and cheap feeling. While it does work right, it requires you to find a toothpick or similar to jab the SYNC button on the back. AND it seems to contantly eat batteries even when it is off. Every time I go to use it (after a few days since prior usage), it is dead.
The transformer will natively use a WIRED 360/PS3/PC gamepad but not wireless without this program.

haven't tried this either but I read on some other forums that few phones are supported.

need to run cm7 or cm7 custome roms to get it to work on g2x

or miui right?

I use it with the CM7 nightly. Works great. Except sometimes it doesn't connect, but turning the bluetooth off and then back on fixes it. I would like to know too if it works with any other custom roms besides the cm7 based ones.

wow.... why is there not a legit system like this yet?.... with more then one controller... I think it would take off like a wild fire... the ability to turn your phone into a multiplayer platform that plugs into your tv... This would blow anything sony, microsoft or netendo is working up out of the water. Come on google get your butt in gear! Why is it that the community has to hack things to come up with great ideas like this.

We can use it with any game now?

Yea I went out and purchased a White PS3 controller. Supposedly it works with 360 wireless controller too.
But the PS3 DualShock works great. On my Transformer (Tegra II) I have it OC'd to 1.4ghz and the PSX emulator FPse works flawlessly. With HDMI Out, it could work with your TV too.
The PS3 controller kinda sucks because the way it is programmed to work with your device. You need a PC to pair the controller to the MAC address of your phone/tablet... so you can't easily go back and forth between them. It would be nice if the DualShock Android App developer made a Android MAC Mapper... but it requires special drivers and stuff to sync up.
Very cool though. The controller works well. Much better then those cheap Chinese knockoff bluetooth controllers and such.

That's likely the flaky Bluetooth on the G2X not the App.

I have problems with the buttons working on faux 1.3.1 oc with Trinity 2.6.32.45 1.56 ghz. Anyone else having problems or is it just the emulator that I am using?

Serious issue with bluetooth after update to 2.3.6 Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g

On my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g (aka Samsung Exhibit II 4g) I have not been able to use Bluetooth ever since the update to 2.3.6. I have tried to un-pair and re-pair my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but neither of those device work. The phone says they are paired but it wont let me connect to them and input from these Bluetooth devices does not work. Also if it matters, I am rooted...

They all worked fine under 2.3.5 ?
I also ran into the same issues, but I only started trying after stock update to 2.3.6 >> rooted ROM >> RebelROM
Bluetooth keyboard doesn't work on either custom ROM
Headset works just fine. But not with Skype. I tried some BT mono app to reroute the audio, but the app claimed it's a issue w/ Skype / Samsung.
I wonder if a stereo headset would work.
I'd really want to use the kb though. Please keep us up-to-date w/ your findings. Thanks !

edit: wanna do further testing before i come to more than half-baked conclusions...

USB Audio

I recently purchased a headphone amp/dac and am trying to use it with my phone. Is there a ROM/kernel that has full USB host capabilities. I am struggling to get the amp/dac to work with my phone. I can see the device in an app called USB host controller but the problem is that there is no audio being output over USB. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or if I can?
Update: I can get audio with USB audio tester, but I can not seem to get any music to play over USB

Are you on a Jellybean ROM, that has MTP mode for USB? I've read from other users here that MTP breaks USB audio on some car stereo head units, so this might be the same issue.

I have tried CleanROM, the Sense 5 port, and Vanilla Rootbox. None of them have worked thus far. They see the device but for some reason are not sending audio. I am unaware whether the roms have MTP mode.

Vanilla rootbox does not. I can't remember if sense 5 does but it probably does. Cleanrom surely does. So you know the problem is probably not MTP if it doesn't work on Vanilla rootbox.

I plugged it straight into an HTC One and it worked right off the bat. There is obviously something preventing it from working but whether it is kernel or ROM related I have no idea.

Try ruuing to stock and test. Msake sure youre s-off before ruuing

Did anyone found any solution for custom roms?
USB Audio works fine in stock but I'd like to use cyanogen-based rom. Maybe someone knows is there any plans to realize this feature in foreseeable future?

My Touch 4g and the ELM 327 interface for OBDII data - BT compatible ROMs?

I've been cruising on cyanogenmod 7.1 for about 2 years now, and since the auto store no longer reads OBD II codes for customers, I decided to purchase one of the $10 Bluetooth ELM 327 devices off ebay, and use the Tourque app to read the data from my car.
The app works great, but it only works if you have a notification pop up asking to pair with the device, and I've only been able to get BT to work with this device so far with a 4.2.2 ROM --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204963 (only JB one I've tried). The other ICS ROM's I've tried so far along with CM 7.1 just won't connect. Has anyone else found a good ROM that works, or a way to trigger a bluetooth notification?
Basically, I turn on Bluetooth in all the ROMs, it detects the device, I select the device, and it says "Paired but not Connected" If you long press or hit the gear symbol, the only option is to "unpair". Pairing with other phones works perfectly fine, but with this device the option/notification to connect never comes up.
Anyone know of any ROMS prior to Jellybean that work with similar BT devices? .. Dunno if there is a way to trigger a notification; I do like JB, but once everything I need is working, my #1 goal is then responsiveness.
Any ideas/insights/experiences are much appreciated.

Have you tried any Sense roms?

Well, as it turns out, after I did a complete wipe, and was trying cyanogenmod 7.2 out, I was able to connect..... in fact, I'm able to connect on good ole 7.1 as well, and mytouchUXv3... which I didn't want to uninstall- seemed to have a snappier ui. I have no idea why I was unable to connect yesterday, but on whatever ROM i've tried today, if I start bluetooth, then run the torque app, then go back to the bluetooth app with the torque app running, and select pair/unpair/pair/unpair, it connects pretty soon. *scratches head*
One reason I stick to cm 7.1 is that I've read of many users experiencing diminished battery life with cm 7.2

Yeah I've read the battery life thing too.
What do we lose if we stick to 7.1 instead of 7.2

I've been using CM10.1 for the past year and have had sucess with my Bluetooth OBD II reader.
Here is the ROM I have been using. The camera is a bit slow on this ROM but other than that I love it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204963

Just to confirm, it ALSO works well with Vipertouch 2.1.4.
Buddy of mine passed me his cheap ELM ODB II Bluetooth unit, (he could not connect to it, since he had some chinese S3 knockoff phone).. Worked perfectly first time.
Paired no problem, and connected using Torque Pro and read quite a few of the sensors on my honda without an issue.
Thanks to all the devs for keeping these older phones alive..

360 Wireless Controller Reciever

Hi guys, has anyone had any luck getting the 360 wireless controller receiver to work with the N5? I've tried the various methods posted around xda for other devices but non of them work, has anyone any ideas? The Receiver is detected correctly as It's listed as a usb device but nothing happens when the pad is connected.
Edit: I've just tried it with my Galaxy Nexus and it's working fine, that's also running a kitkat ROM so could it be a kernel issue?

Interesting... I always thought it needed to be a wired controller. I'll have to try this out when i get home and report back.

I can't get it to work either. Tried following the guide by sleeplessninja.
