Rom that works with Wii remote? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello, I am new to android, the skyrocket being my first Android device. I have learned that the samsung bluetooth stack is not compatible with Wii remotes. I've tried a couple of roms now which I'm assuming are based on the samsung stock rom as I have had no luck in getting Wii remote to connect. I'm currently running sky ics. Does anybody know of a stable custom ROM that currently exists for skyrocket that has the correct bluetooth stack for connecting a Wii remote? Thanks!

People have reported it working with ICS roms.

Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566820. It should work fine with a wiimote, and you should be able to flash from your current rom.

OK, I installed that rom and after some messing around with the modem and apn settings everything is working great. I can confirm that the Wii remote works fantastically with ics. Thanks a ton for the tip and to all the great devs making all this stuff work!

Wii remote

I remember hearing something about using one with the fascinate. Can I use any remote? I'd like a lot if buttons for my emulators.

Someone has written a driver for it. Last time I checked, it wasn't free. But, I've heard it works. Never tried it myself. You can find it in the Market by searching wii remote.
did anybody try this on there fascinated froyo?

I intend to try with cm6. Just need to find a friend with a willing wiimote
OTB'd CM6 FTW
It works with AOSP based ROMs, there was another thread in this very forum about it... You need the app from the market by the way, you can't pair with it through settings.
Now that the 2.2 OTA update is out... Which BT gamepads/Wiimote will work?
Will we still have to root/load a custom ROM to get it to work?
I'd be psyched to go buy a Wiimote if it will work w/Fascinate now that 2.2 has finally been released (officially).
You still need to use an aosp rom, the ota froyo update still has the Touchwiz bluetooth stack which still doesn't work.
I really wish that you could just import the bluetooth from a aosp rom lol not that simple but still.
Honestly, you should try one out. The only things broken in froyo aosp roms are bluetooth calling, camcorder, and mms. Everything else works pretty well and aosp roms are so much faster than Touchwiz roms, just try out MIUI or Cyanogenmod 6.2, they're both amazing.

I tried it and loved it for a month, but eventually not being able to send/receive mms and the flash not working most of the time lead me right back into the community rom when that came out.
Will have to try this now that I'm on omfgb

[Q] Cant get wii remote to work with TBOLT

me and my kids always used to play emulator games with a wii remote on my droid x. No matter what rom i used it always worked. Now with my tbolt no matter which Wii app im using or which tbolt rom im using, sense or senseless, it will not work. Does anyone know of any wii controller app and tbolt rom combo that it will work. Thanks in advance.
NOTE: Most Wii remote apps say that they will not work with Sense or Motoblur. I could get them to work with motoblur. Hopefully I can do the same with Sense
I used Wii Controller IME in the past on a Backflip, haven't tried yet on the TB though.

Pretty sure I tried that one and it didn't work. Will try again

wiimote ime does not work. thanks though
It will work as soon as a aosp rom comes out. Sense Bluetooth stacks sucks
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
tried Tesla Coil rom last night and couldn't get it to work
but i guess it's because it's still using the sense bluetooth stack?
the senseless roms that are out right now aren't 100% senseless?
The problem is to so called "senseless" roms right now are still based on sense but have a majority of the apps. until a fully built-from-source rom if built, we are going to be out of luck,
Been working fine on cm7 alpha

CM7 is the only working rom at the moment that you can do this with.

Wiimote app

Has anyone got the wiimote to connect with their infuse? I would really like to use it with n64oid but it just wont work! Any ideas??

not compatable with the samsung bluetooth stack, if you want to downgrade to bt2.1 it might work but i ont really know how to do that. better off waiting for cm7

what's there to kid about. many phones can connect to the wii mote. search the market. there are a few app that accomplish syncing a wiimote to android. unfortunately the wii mote is not compatible with the Samsung bt3.0 stack. cm7 is bt2.1 and fixes that problem.

No joke...thanks for responding before doing a basic Google or market search...its working on my atrix but the infuse has a much better screen and HDMI mirror function

Ok sorry I didn't know you 2 are kids, because I can't see adult using this on a smartphone.

umm wii mote + hdmi+ smartphone + sega emulator = portable entertainment and a way to make friends envious. it is a common request actually and its great for travel and parties (my friends are geeks-hence me frequently visiting a cell phone forum) and it is great especially if you have kids or a nephew (I have 2 nephews)
This sounds awesome. Any other non-conventional devices connect to the phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
well the wii mote doesn't work on the infuse(works on most other androids) , but you can use a standard mouse and keyboard to game and navigate the ui. there are some game controlers that work but I can't remember which ones. search the sgs sections if you are interested.
Awesome, keyboard/mouse would come in handy considering these come with HDMI adapters, tomorrow will be a fun day. Lol

Anyone know of a way to change the Bluetooth stack manually because I had it working on cm7 captivate........
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
CM7 uses "googles bluetooth stack which is why it works. This might point someone in the right direction as I have no idea on how to change it.
On all non AOSP kernels the "Bluez" Stack has to be cooked into it. It's tougher than..., well I don't want to mention it.... and easier done with CM which is based off of AOSP.
Same with Sense roms as well, which is why I had such a hard time bouncing between AOSP and sense roms when I had my N1.....
Plus with our HDMI output, wouldn't it be just as easy to use the onscreen buttons on the phone even though there will be an overlay on the main screen...?
Well I got it to connect to my Infuse (and Touchpad). All the keystrokes are detected. Only problem is that they don't translate in N64oid or Tiger Snes--as if they aren't working.
Anybody find a workaround?

Most emus with external controller support have the option to disable the controller overlay. Doesn't do you any good to not have the overlay without external input though, but I have tested this via HDMI output on the *-oid emus
havent tried wii mote, but i have successfully connected a ps3 controller & used it with psx4droid & snesoid

Wiimote

Wiimote not supported man!! Anyone got it working with infuse?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
the problem is with the bluetooth stack, im not sur ehow but i know it can be downgraded to bt 2.1, that was an experimental feature in designgears cognition rom a long time ago, he went back and forth with it a couple times but said there were problems. that's not to say gtg or razor or h8trift or mikey couldnt figure it out but i dont see anyone showing interest in that on a samsung base rom. you might have to wait for the infuse to get an aosp rom, donate to a kernel dev like netarchy of razor who may have the ability to make an aosp compatable kernel for cm7.
I see OK is there anything than wiimote work with infuse?

Blood and Glory on Rooted EVO

Has anyone gotten the game Blood and Glory by Glu Mobile to work on their rooted Evo?
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5nbHUuZ2xhZGlhdG9yX25yIl0.
Glu Mobile support is claiming that they do not support Rooted devices (which is pretty lame if you ask me) but I'm wondering if there is some technical reason they're doing this.
Thanks in advance.
It is working just fine for me on my rooted evo with Cyanogen nightly 256.
Never knew there was an issue... I play Blood and Glory every so often but its always worked on whatever ROM that I flashed and played it on.
Works on mine rooted eco 4g

I was using the MikG roms as well when it wasn't working. I switched to CM7 and works like a charm.
It's interesting for sure.
Was working fine on cm7 switched to SOS and the game no longer worked.

Go to manage apps and move to sd card manually. Didn't work for me either until I did this.
Switched back to CM7 stable and runs fine.
