How to connect to Freedom Pro Bluetooth folding keyboard

Here's a step-by-step to get your Freedom Pro Bluetooth folding keyboard
working with your G2x. It doesn't matter if your phone is rooted or not.
1) Download the android driver. Here is a direct link to
ProKeyboardSettings.apk
http://freedom.helpserve.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=downloadfile&downloaditemid=135
2) Make sure Bluetooth is on.
A) Settings=>Wireless & networks and check Bluetooth.
3) Install the driver (here's what I did).
A) Settings=>Applications and check Unknown Sources if not already
checked.
B) Navigate via a File manager to the .apk, choose it, and select open
with app manager.
C) Install as you would any other app.
4) Un-pair any other keyboards you have tried (see usage note E far below).
A) Navigate to Settings=>Wireless & networks=>Bluetooth Settings.
B) Long-press any keyboards in your Bluetooth device list
and Unpair them.
5) Pairing (you only need to pair the Freedom Pro once).
A) Switch the Freedom Pro Keyboard protocol to SPP. HID is not supported.
B) Turn the keyboard on.
C) Navigate to Settings=>Wireless & networks=>Bluetooth Settings
D) Depress the recessed pairing button on the Freedom Pro for 5 seconds
and release. The blue status light will be blinking.
E) If the "Freedom Pro Keyboard" does not appear on the G2x in the
Bluetooth device list, press Scan for devices.
F) Press the "Freedom Pro Keyboard" selection and you will be prompted
for a pairing PIN. Enter 0000 (four zeroes) on the G2x using the
on-screen keyboard.
G) If everything went ok, the device on the G2x will show that the
Freedom Pro Keyboard is "Paired but not connected". The status light
will stop blinking. This is normal. We will connect to it using the
driver we just installed, and not this Bluetooth control panel.
6) Connecting to and activating the keyboard (you do this each time you
want to use it).
A) Navigate to Settings=>Language & keyboard.
B) Check the Freedom Pro Keyboard checkbox if not aleady checked.
C) Settings=>Language & keyboard=>Freedom Pro Keyboard settings
(right below the check box).
D) If you see Disconnect in the G2x's list of controls, you're already
connected. Otherwise, press Connect. In a few moments, you will see
the status change, and the control will rename itself to "Disconnect".
NOTE: You may get prompted for another pairing PIN if for some reason
that has been lost. Enter 0000 as you did above using the
on-screen keyboard.
E) Navigate to Settings=>Language & keyboard=>Input method
F) Choose Freedom Pro Keyboard from the list.
You're all done. Optionally, you can return to
Settings=>Language & keyboard=>Freedom Pro Keyboard settings and
choose "Type here to test your keyboard".
To quit using the Freedom Pro and revert an on-screen Keyboard.
A) Navigate to Settings=>Language & keyboard=>Input method
B) Choose Android keyboard (or Swype).
C) Uncheck Freedom Pro Keyboard in the control list to shut off the
driver.
D) Turn your Freedom Pro Keyboard switch off.
Optional: Settings=>Wireless & networks and uncheck Bluetooth to save
your battery.
Usage NOTES:
A) The Freedom Pro Keyboard will time out after a period of inactivity.
It's 5 minutes or so. If this happens, go back to
Settings=>Language & keyboard=>Freedom Pro Keyboard settings and
choose Connect. For some reason Auto Connect doesn't keep the
keyboard connected as you would expect.
B) It is important that you do not change your input Keyboard to Freedom
Pro from on-screen before you have successfully connected to it. The
reason is, it may have accidentally forgotten about the keyboard, and
it will prompt you for a pairing PIN. You'll have no way to enter it
from the G2x if you've already selected the Freedom Pro for input.
C) If you fail to Uncheck the Freedom Pro Keyboard in Language &
keyboard before you shut off Bluetooth, the Driver will fall into a
writhing fit of Force Quits. So, shutdown the keyboard as shown above
to avoid unpleasant side affects.
D) If you need to force a re-pairing for some reason, navigate to
Settings=>Wireless & networks=>Bluetooth Settings.
Long-press Freedom Pro Keyboard and choose Unpair.
Then you can pair again.
E) If you have other keyboards (I have lots of them) and you've tried to
pair them, you've noticed they all say "Paired but not connected" and
they don't work. The Freedom Pro Driver gets confused with multiple
paired keyboards in the list and will complain that it only works
with the Freedom Pro Keyboard. Just unpair the others so that the
Freedom Pro is the only paired keyboard in the list.
F) Shortcuts on your Home screen can make managing your keyboard
settings quicker.

[Q] wii controller xoom ICS nightly stringray

Hi All,
I have a xoom wifi / 4g lte running the unofficial ics nightly roms (currently stingray-93)
I have the wiicontroller app running and the wii control pairs just fine (output displays when buttons are pressed) but reguardless of what I selected in the settings for a default/enabled input devices, no emulators allow mapping. If I go into the emulator and click on a key to map and press and button on the wiimote it never registers that I pressed anything.
Does anyone else have this problem?
is there a solutions?
Thanks,

Use ps3 controller without root on tablet and no dock or cords

I would like to say that I take no credit for any of this except typing out these directions.
These are instructions to use a controller with at least the two emulators I have tested this on which are supergnes and mupen64 plus ae.
Hardware you will need :
Computer with usb connection
Blue tooth controller ( I'm using ps3 controller)
Android phone ( rooted) I'm using a inspire 4G with ics rom.
Android tablet ( does not have to be rooted) I'm using a asus infinity stock with jb.
I recommend buying the programs if for nothing else but to show support
Software you will need :
An2an by locnet ( I have paid version not sure if it makes a difference)
Sixaxis by dancing pixel studios ( have paid version not sure if it makes a difference)
Sixaxis by dancing pixel studios for pc ( link is inside of the app description in the market)
Emulator that accepts keyboard input.
1) download An2an and Sixaxis from market and install on phone
2) download An2an and install on tablet
3) download Sixaxis to computer from Internet and install.
4) turn on wifi and blue tooth on tablet and phone.
A) access Sixaxis on phone
* step one : tap "gamepad settings"
> tap "enable gamepad " (uncheck box)
> tap " keyboard emulation"
> tap " default input method " and set to android keyboard ( or keyboard of your choice)
> tap " bypass IME ", ( uncheck box)
* step three : start Sixaxis
B) access An2an on phone
* step one : tap menu and access settings
> tap " connection mode ", tap wifi
> tap " text input mode ", ( uncheck box)
C) access An2an on tablet
* step one : tap # 4 optional settings
> tap " connection mode ", tap wifi
> tap " remote address 1 " enter wifi address of phone ( setting -- > about phone - - > status., on phone)
> tap #2 and select An2an receiver
D) have An2an accessed on tablet and phone.
* step one : tap menu on phone and "start transmit"
* step two : tap menu on tablet and tap" setup receiver"
* step three : on tablet tap #3 and tap " connect "
* step four: on phone tap menu and tap "input method" select Sixaxis
Note : phone must be on An2an main screen while playing not sure how it will effect battery life (probably will drain quite a bit) . I recommend setting phone screen to stay on while charging and plug it in.
Now just start game and play
This is my first intrusion manual so be nice if you have any questions feel free to ask but I can't promise I will have any answers.
Last
To set up Sixaxis
* step one : download Sixaxis controller bt changer from Internet and install. The link is in the app description on the market.
* step two : connect controller to pc and start Sixaxis program. Change code to your phones bt code. The bt code is found in settings - - > about phone - - > status remember bt must be on
Unplug and it's set.
Thank you for reading.

[Q] Any idea on controller mapping?

Hi, guys.
I connected my xbox controller via OTG and it works good in game, but it's working wired in just system operation.
The D-pad and left joystick works right to go through the menu, but every other key is defined as "confirm". You click any these button on the app icon, it launches the app; you click any these button in the menu, it goes to the sub-menu.
So, is there possibility to modify some configuration files to fix this? All I want is some keys mapped as the three classic keys.
Thanks.
P.S. I've tried some devices on 4.2 to 4.4, and I will try to find something on 5.0.

How-To: Fix unrecognized controller input in Half Life 2 (inability to select weapons

Hey everybody,
i hope this is the right forum to post this. I was dying to play Half Life 2 on my Shield Tablet, but i was not able to change my weapons in game, and also the i couldn't use the Playstation controller in the Options or Controller menu. I know that this is a problem for everybody, who tries to play it with a PS4 (and i think also PS3) controller.
But i've finally found a workaround and after enjoying Half Life 2 for a few days now, i wanted to share it^^.
First off i don't remember all options i enabled/disabled, but i'll list those that i think i did something too. If i find out how, i might just share my app's profile. These are a few steps right here, but only because i went into detail a little, in order to make it as easy as possible to follow.
1. Get Gamekeyboard+
2. Go to "Settings" in the app
3. Look for "Input Device" subcategory -> "Use Advance Input" - check that
4. Below is the "Operation Mode" subcategory -> "Joystick Mode" - check that too
5. Go into "Internal Options" at the bottom of the settings screen
6. "Find 8-way D-Pad" - check that
7. Find "Use Analog" - check that
7. Go back into the apps initial screen - press "Start"
8. Start Sixaxis Controller to connect your PS3 or PS4 gamepad (doesn't matter if you do this before you start GameKeyboard, or after)
And now, better press the volume-up key on your device, which by default should bring up GameKeyboard's onscreen buttons, which emulate physical input. Do they appear? If yes, good. You can turn them off, by pressing volume-up again.
Now open Half Life 2 and enjoy full support of your controller!
So as i take it, Half Life 2 does a better job at recognizing this gamepad, which is actually just a soft emulation, but since you can use GameKeyboard's buttons with a physical controller as well, even if they are not on screen, GameKeyboard in this case serves as the missing link to make this 100% compatible with Playstation controllers.
I hope this will help a lot of people out, who were just as bummed by the fact, that they could not change weapons in the game, let alone access the Options/Controller menu (or not be able to navigate in them, to be precise).

Thank bro I am about to take a long road trip this weekend and I hope this works so I can play and beat half life to on the way!:laugh::laugh:
