[APP] OnLive Helper - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

OnLive is on the Android Market!
AND IT SUPPORTS XPERIA PLAY CONTROLS!
I WILL NO LONGER DEVELOP FOR THE APP
...
But it does not support Xperia Play game pad. So until support is added I've made an app...
OnLive Helper
LATEST
Added option to toggle between between an alternate profile.
Added option to donate and remove ads.
Added alternate key functionality.
Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.OnLiveHelper
Price:
Free with ads in the configuration menu.
Description:
This app will technically work with any phone! Visit the official thread to discuss!
This application will enable Xperia Play users to use the game pad to play games using the OnLive Service.
Currently only "LEGO Batman" and "Dirt 3" are included.
You can create your own custom profiles or use community created ones. Please visit the official thread on XDA for more information.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382899
Usage:
1. No Root Is Required.
2. To enable this app, you must change the Input Method Service to "OnLive Helper"
3. You can have the input method screen automatically come up when you open or close your keyboard by checking "Auto Prompt" in the options.
Custom Mode
You can now create custom profiles.
All phones should be supported (not just Xperia Play)
You create them by using Android KeyCodes: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
To create a custom profile:
1. Create a txt file, name it anything (it does NOT need the .txt extension).
2. In line 1 type the keycodes you want to press.
3. In line 2 type the keycodes you want it to do. If you map a key to -1 then it will go to the third line to translate key presses until you release it. If you map a key to -2 then it will go to the fourth line to translate until you push it again.
4. In line 3 type alternate key codes.
5. In line 4 type the key codes that the app will toggle to.
5. Save that file to /sdcard/Android/data/com.hatcyl.android.OnLiveHelper/files
6. That "profile" will now appear in the settings.
Notes:
I've attached a sample file (Lego Batman) and a "Template" file for the noobs.
If you create a profile, share it here!
Some buttons like ESCAPE, MOUSE BUTTONS, etc. are not supported. They were not added into Android until a later version. I will see if there is anything we can do (at least for root users) if anyone knows please share!
Coming Later Maybe, No Promises
Mouse Support + More Keys Support (Maybe just for ROOT users)
Maybe a way to emulate the OnLive Controller instead of keyboard.
Support for touch pads.
An option for multiple profiles in one (i.e. press a button to change button mapping quickly) - DONE
An option for an "Alt" key, so if you press two buttons at once it does something else. - DONE
Something about international keyboards, if I can figure out what ps3taker is talking about.
A way to create custom profiles from within the app.
Some kind of In App purchase for some reason. - DONE

Waw this looks promising, I will try this in a few minutes!
One suggestion I have is could you make a list of all the xperia plays buttons and let users assign any keyboard button to that xperia button.
For example on the list of keys would be the X button, I then click on the xbutton and get a whole list of keyboard keys to choose from which I can assign to the X button.
I know thats a bit of a confusing explanation but I think you know what I mean.
EDIT: Your app works great, I dont know why something like this hasn't been made before. an app like this could also be used to make the xperia play work with flash games too.

Heck yes! This will do until it's official. Analog sticks would be amazing, but I noticed that your program syncs the buttons to keyboard strokes, like wsad on the dpad, nice idea!

Cool I really hope you can make it happen.
I think custom mode should be top priority because then users can play any games without having to wait for you to add profiles, Also another good idea could be for users to make thier own custom profiles, but this app is still in its early stages so maybe im thinking too far ahead haha.
Oh and I clicked on an ad to support you

can someone explain how to make this work i start up batman but nothing happening when i press the buttons

yeah hes made it on a custom rom his keyboard settings are diff it dont work for me either looks like a rush job to beat the rest off but cool when he gets his working. someone found another way here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20119438#post20119438

You need to set onlive helper as your default android keyboard, enable it in the settings then go into the text app or something and change it to your default input method.

yeah cheers that worked the text message thing, hold down on the message and select input. But he needs to make another setting menu in with the onlive helper method tick box like the sixaxis app and wiimotes. and also let people know on the discription.

Don't know if will help but someone tried making an app that used the touch pads as trackball to control a mouse on internet browser its on a page in here somewhere. I also tried another game without touch pad support on onlive and the mouse was emulated on the touch screen. or paul that made mupen64 plus has touch pad control values and codes on his site and recons they can be added to most emus why not this, i understand they would only work as digital button presses as you are only mapping to the keyboard but would free up extra buttons for others. Hope this helps.

I dont think you can use the touch pads with this method, maybe with some sort of complex root app you could but this is essentially a virtual keyboard so I think getting mouse support is not possible.

i know it would not be analogue but he could use the touch pads as the d pad just like the sixaxis app uses sticks and sonys ps ports app type 4 setting to map the d-pad on a keyboard, then the other buttons would be free for others. Also why would you need root apps like mupen64plus use the touchpads it is not a virtual keyboard he is mapping to its a hardware keyboard if you notice square and trangle are really say x and y on a qwerty keyboard hes just changing them to say a and b. so why could he not fool the touchpad into thinking it was a trackball or mouse. I maybe wrong but was an idea.

[SOLVED] Toggle Wi-fi with Long Press of Search Soft Key?

Hi all,
I would absolutely love to be able to toggle my Android wi-fi connection with a long press of the search soft key. This would be ideal when launching some app that would benefit from a faster connection and would save me returning to the home screen, activating the wi-fi and then returning back to the app.
I've searched everywhere to find an app, or combination of apps (Button Shortcut + something else) that could achieve this but have hit a dead end.
Anyone know of an app that could achieve this?
Alternativily I do have the Android IDE set-up at home, does anyone know how I can hook the long button press (from within all app's) and toggle the wi-fi connection?
Thanks in advance,
Nexus One user (I'm not rooted)
Ok, so I've come to the conclusion there's no apps out there at the moment that will do this so I have started writing my own.
I have successfully hooked the search button and can get a basic activity launched with a long press of the search key from the home screen and within other apps.
All I need now to is to find the code that allows me to enabled/disable wi-fi. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good example?
Thanks, will share my app once its finished!
I now have this working on my Nexus One, needs a couple of tweaks but it's nearly ready to release to the Android Market.
Would anyone care to do a bit of beta testing for me? If so I can PM the apk once it's ready.
Also, if appropriate can a mod please move this into the "Android Apps and Games" forum.
I have now released this to the Market as "In-App Wifi Toggle".
awesome app, thanks for sharing!

Works great on my HTC Legend with 2.1 Sense!
Thx!

I have a friend with a G1 who's been doing some testing for me. The version on the market at present will only work on a short press of the green/call button. The search button on the pull out keyboard doesn't work. Now obviously a short press of the green/call button is normally assigned to shortcut to the phone app and most people won't want to re-assign this and so I have made some adjustments so it will now work on a long press of the green/call button. I will be releasing this update to the market in the next couple of days when I get a moment.
FYI I've just uploaded the new version with the added long press of Call/Green button.
Vary nice app, works as described on HTC Droid Incredible. Like how the systems gives me the choice of Wifi toggle or google search on the long press now. Very nice. Would have paid for it....
Any chance of releasing the source code for us wannabe devs to learn from? I'd love to modify the app to call a specific person on a long search press, as I find the dialer to be the most annoying part of Android.
Hi just downloaded it and works fantastic on my Legend!!
Thank you very much!

I will eventually release the source code yes once I've put my website together but not right this minute I'm afraid.
On a seperate note I've been beavering away coding "In-App Bluetooth Toggle". Frankly, its been an absolute slut because I would like the app to work with all versions of Android from 1.5 upwards but the bluetooth API only became available from 2.0. I've been using a complex combination of hacking and reflection to get the pre 2.0 versions working and now have a single app that works on both a v1.6 G1 and v2.1 Nexus One.
Are there any v1.5 (Hero/Moment/Magic/Pulse/CLIQ) users out there willing to do some debug testing for me? I can email you a APK file.
Any help appreciated!
You know what I'd love, it if there was a way to emulate all of the hardware keys, like Menu, Home, Back, etc on the screen rather than by using the hardware keys. Any possibility for something like that using your idea here for Wifi toggle?

Would you expect such an emulator to be visible always, in every application? That would seem rather intrusive in my opinion.
Great App. It works good on the HTC Wildfire. The only problem is I(we) don't have a call hardkey, therefore I can either use the wifi or the bluetooth toggle or use the popup menu(which is not very "clean")
Hi!
Can you share how you manage to capture long press on search button by code? It will be greatly appreciate
Thanks in advance!

It's only going to be an Xperia play exclusive for the launch. It will be opened up to other devices, down the road.
It's already in the store for Xperia Play: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/16/minecraft-pocket-edition-hits-android-market-only-xperia-play-u/
I wonder if someone could try to port it to the TF. We have keyboard, and we have touchpad. And we also could have USB mouse. Doubt it will be possible without access to the source, but anyway...
We can always just wait for Mojang to release it for the tablets, ofc.

I was able to "enter" one of the menu options by accident, but don't remember what I clicked. It was in the bottom left side and I think I clicked on combination of buttons like alt- shift- something. I believe the keycode that needs to be pressed is 23 or 109
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/02/13/xperia-play-game-keys/
and pc keycodes
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa243025(v=vs.60).aspx
Has anyone grabbed the apk and tried it on a TF, just to see if it works?
I cant find that key
Ok it was 23 KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER
I didn't find the right combination to enter it from keyboard, but it can be sent using adb tool.
tada.
short guide:
1. install android SDK
2. connect via usb
3. adb shell input keyevent 23 in windows/unix console
It works pretty good, but most keys are missing.

Cool. I was looking for that. Thnx. I'll write if I am successful with this.
It doesn't need to be ported actually. It's java (cross-platform,cross-architecture) but screen size needs to be patched.(hopefully it's not hardcoded everywhere to only run in one resolution) I looked into decompiled code and saw couple of functions that return screen size, but haven't found where they are called from yet.

This works partially. I got it working using the sixaxis controller. I can jump, place blocks and all that fun stuff, except I can't really turn..
This is because of how the "Sixaxis Controller" app emulates the analog sticks.
I also tried hooking up the controller with a usb-cable, but that didn't work ant better.
Hey, at least i can explore forward
Edit 1: Oh btw just to be clear, i used the Demo-version. (guess thats ok?)
Edit 2: You can turn by using the touchpad

Yea, Experia Play has a touchpad on it.
Btw, having mouselook on TF would be great, from touchpad (dock) or sixaxis thumbstick =) Then it would be even possible to play FPS games via Splashtop remote!

That method doesn't work at all. :/ Removing kecode line makes button nonfunctional, editing it executes old code as if it wasn't changed at all. Maybe it's because of prime. I'll try this on pure rooted firmware.

Change Shoulder Buttons

SOURCE CODE ATTACHED
This is the official thread for the "Change Shoulder Buttons" app.
Compatibility:
At this point it looks like the app fully works for some devices, partially works for others, and not at all for some. Different ROMS may also affect functionality.
I am currently working on a "configuration" option which will allow users to calibrate the app for their specific device.
Update
This app has been updated.
No more restart required.
2.3
1. App is now free!
This app is now free!
Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Change_Shoulder_Buttons
Description:
This app will allow you to use the shoulder buttons (L and R) of the Xperia Play for different functions.
You can use them to:
None: Stops the service. Shoulder buttons will stay at default.
Media: L will be previous and R will be next for media.
Camera: R will be focus and take picture.
Volume: L will be volume up and R will be volume down.
Up/Down: L will be up and R will be down.
Navigate: L will be browser back and R will be browser forward.
Advanced:
Tasker Support! (Kinda)
To change button modes do the following:
Action -> Misc -> Action Intent
Action: "com.hatcyl.android.Change_Shoulder_Buttons.ACTION_CHANGE_MODE"
Extra: "Mode:XXXXX"
See screenshot, no quotes, case sensitive.
Note: The game function of the buttons never get disabled. This app just listens for those buttons and then executes a command.
Coming Soon:
1. Custom Mode
2. Support for more Xperia Play devices / ROMS.
3. Real Tasker Support Way Later
4. Some automation maybe
Please post all questions, comments, bugs, and requests in this thread.
Thank You!
How about assigning the keys for volume control? In book reading Apps, L and R are much more convenient than the volume buttons when I have to flip the page.
A widget for quick mode switching could be nice as well.
Sure I can add that. But remember, a restart is still required.
Widget, probably not ... or maybe later ... im not so good with them.

You mean because you press L and R right?
Once I figure out how to change the buttons without a restart then we could use something like Tasker to change them based on different conditions. Camera if CAMERA is open, Music only if music app is opened, Game otherwise. Or maybe just manually change them faster.

This seems like a paid version for an app that is already free.

Same functions, same results.
Yep, there's already a free app by an XDA member.
any way to achive this without restart? Would it work if you assign each button to a separate app (similary to assigning to camera currently I assume and probably restart first time only). The app you assign simply check what is required in an extra config file which can be changed on the fly without need to restart. Is this possible at all or is there a particular limitation how android works with those buttons? Thanks in advance

Yup, I actually posted that in the OP.
It hasn't been working for some people including me, maybe different models are different.
Anyways, if this app sells at all that developer will be first in the donate list along with the guy who found a way to use the official PSX emulator with custom images.

This is coming soon, it was in the market description but I posted it in the OP.
About your idea, it wouldn't work for two reasons.
1. You can't assign a button to an app (that I know of)
2. You wouldn't want to open an app every time you hit a button (especially when playing a game) it would be too slow.
I am exploring two ideas to get this working.
1. Find what causes those files to be loaded. Find away to restart that and force it to load the files again.
2. A much harder way, but this one will work for sure (I've got a proof of concept but no time yet.)
Thank you for explaining. I look forward to the no reboot version. Page up and down option would be great. Many thanks in advance

Can you add functionality to the default web browser? Like make L be the back button and R be the Forward button?
I really liked that function on my PSP browser (years ago when I used it every so often).
Also, add the functionality to the default Launcher? L for next left screen, R for next right screen. I'm not sure if either of these is even possible, but just throwing some ideas at you!
I'd be down to purchase it if you added either one. Thanks!

I'd settle for the web browser L and R function
I will settle for pgdown pgup or even dpadup and down for shoulder buttons as long as they don't overwrite their function implemented already in games, emulators and camera mod apps. There is another post regarding shoulder buttons for ereaders - i'm away from my pc so cannot link - but it recommends another app there too.

Sorry, the files are different in 2.3.2 vs 2.3.3.
I will disable the app for now. I deserve that 1 star rating for that.
Anyways, download the attached file, extract the file inside and copy it (using any file manager, I use EStrong) to /system/usr/keylayout override any existing file.
Reboot afterwards, this should fix your issue.
Again sorry, I'm bringing the app down for now. I'll almost done with a big update that will not require restarts anyways.
It's alright dude! I fixed it myself, just restored from my backup. Thought you outa know though! Look forward to the no reboot version!!
(p.s. Yours is the only button change app that actually worked...apart from the obvious issue ...so thanks!!)
For anyone who was waiting. App has been updated.
No restart required anymore.
More modes coming soon.

This app pretty much uses the same approach I am going to use to translate buttons presses into touchscreen presses.

Modern Combat 3 Sixaxis

Just wanted to confirm that the sixaxis controller does work with Modern combat 3 on the transformer...ITS AWESOME! Need to edit touch profile but that only takes 5 min

When I am able to root my Transformer again to use sixaxis, I'll make a video if nobody else has. Just waiting for a root method for my B90 on .21

Sure ill make one soon. Its not really hard though just keep switching between the customization screen on MC3 and sixaxis to align to the controls. Once you have them exactly over one another save the profile, go back to the main menu on sixaxis and click on active touch profile. Then choose the one you created and your good to go. Im so happy with the controller now it makes turning and aiming much smoother.
Here is a screen shot of the touch profile i created for MC3 along with the customization screen. If you superimpose them over one another you can see how it works out. Check out the attached images

Could you possibly post the .map file for your touch profile? If you have one that is working well, that would probably be the easiest way.
When I use the controller in game it stops my movement every few seconds...any idea why?
did you change the build.prop in order to get this game to work?? is so doing this affects/effects (?) any other non-gameloft apks?
build.prop? explain.

We should probably keep this thread about sixaxis settings. Threads discussing getting MC3 to work have been closed due to some of the methods being discussed. I would hate to see this one get closed for it, too.
...but, no. I don't think any build.prop edits are involved.

Please do! This would help a lot
Hi,
No need to change build.prop for TF101 just use the version for a500
look the video on youtube and the instruction is in the video description:

Its not just changing the touch profile in sixaxis but also the button layout in MC3. Its doesnt really matter where you put the buttons just that they match up on screen to the sixaxis touch profile layout. Also i did not edit any build.prop what ever profile. Simply lay the controls over one another. How ever i do have some tips that make the controls easier to use...
-Make sure that you the set right analog to relative so that you get a full range of motion on aim. If you dont change this you will literally only be able to move your gun the distance allowed on the joystick. (this will solve some of the movement issues some of you have posted about)
-Make sure to choose classic control scheme on MC3. This will give you a static movement while allowing right stick to roam (look around). (this will also solve some of the movement issues some of you have posted about)
-Dont forget to set crouch and melee (stab) with the R3 and L3.
-VERY IMPORTANT: make sure to adjust the sensitivity on both the game AND sixaxis profile for right analog. This took me forever to figure out. The controls felt so jumpy when i first got it working. Could not a single kill online because the controls were too sensitive and no matter how low i set them, I could never get them just right. Once i figured out i needed to also adjust the sixaxis sensitivity...dead bodies everywhere!
If you run into any more problems just post your question here on the thread. Sorry for taking so long to respond ive been traveling for the holidays.
[EDIT] Button layout does somewhat matter. Make sure they arent too close to each other or else you will get input interference from other button. Dont wanna crouch when your trying to melee some noob online .
EDIT: How do you make this work? It appears in the Sixaxis Controller and I can move around in the app using the analog sticks but can't click anything. I first tried it in GTA which supposedly supports gamepads natively.
And how do you change the size of the buttons. I made your posted map the background, but my buttons are no where near as big as the ones in the picture.

You cannot resize the buttons in the sixaxis app but you can resize mc3 buttons by pinching and zooming. The only thing you can resize in sixaxis are the outer rings of the left and right analog (when you click on them the rings appears). I would not recommmend resizing this UNLESS they are interfering with other buttons in your layout. Just resize and move the mc3 buttons to match the sixaxis. They dont have to be perfect, they just have to be on top of each other and not interfering with other buttons.

Also what do you mean by click anything? Do you mean R3 and L3 or clicking with all the other buttons?

Meh, I fixed it now, got it to work with MC3. Just need to tweak the controls and sensitivity a little more. Moving the right analog stick selects things and walking forward is really slow.
Wasn't successful with GTA3.

[Q] game pad app for android

hi everyone, I have a motorola milestone & a xoom, I just downloaded & installed GTA III on my xoom, is there any app for the milestone, to work as game pad for xoom? (with wireless or bluetooth)
Try blueputdroid in the market. It works as a keyboard/touchpad, and it can be used as a Bluetooth game pad as well I believe.
Have a look at DroidMote as well. Works for me on other games, haven't tried on GTA tho.

best one so far...
but I can't find any button for the gas pedal, do you know if I can choose my own custom controls?
Let us know if you figure it out. That would be awesome. I wonder if it works with Onlive.

in the zip file when you download there are 3 files, one is readme file which tell you how to copy the other 2files
(here's the fille attached if you don't already have it)
put droidmote.kcm in /system/usr/keychars - If you have not already copied earlier.
put droidmote.kl in /system/usr/keylayout - for mapping the new game configuration.
for me after copying I thought it's not working but after few time force closing the app & reopening it, it worked. sometime also for the first time that I press the gamepad buttons it activates with a 2sec delay.
but other than that, I love it, it works perfect

Thanks. That was sort of a dumb question being that I didn't even download the file. I should have known there would be a readme in there.
The app is cool but it needs UI enhancements and the ability to move buttons around the screen. I wouldn't mind the exact layout as the in game controls on my phone.
I will try this tonight and see how it goes. Does this fix the inverted look?
