I recently purchased a Motorola XOOM for a great bargain price and I've got it all customized the way I like it. However, there are a few things I'm wondering about that hopefully a senioer XOOMER can answer for me.
1. What would you say the best Twitter application for an Android tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich is? I've taken a look at a lot of them (TweetCaster, Plume, TweetComb) and most of them fall short or have slow dreadful user interfaces.
What would you say is the best?
I originally had plans to use the Seesmic Twitter application (shown below) however it isn't available and we haven't heard anything about it for a year now.

2. What game controllers are compatible with the Motorola XOOM? I'm looking to play some games on the XOOM and I tried using a wireless XBOX 360 remote with a USB cable into my USB host cable but it didn't work.
I purchased this device (DealExtreme) and when I plug a USB key in or a USB mouse it is deteced so I'm guessing it works, but now I just need to know what game controllers work.
3. What other tablet specific applications (preferably Ice Cream Sandwich designed) would you suggest I get?
Completely different note; is it just me or does the 8tracks application not work on the Motorola XOOM?
Thanks
I just use the standard twitter app from the store and as for controllers theres a guide on here how to set up a ps3 pad on xoom
Sent from my Xoom using XDA
Thanks.
Any USB gamepads will work. The Xbox controller needs drivers for the wireless dongle. Also, PS3 + Wii controllers also work.
As far as apps.. Evernote, Quickoffice HD (or similar), perhaps..

Since the interface seems draggy on the Tablet HDMI stick builds/hardware for 2.4ghz wireless control devices or bluetooth keyboards and mice, I am looking for something with a remote, so the lady has "ease of use", and "less complication...
Think one-trick-pony for Netflix.
Has anyone used the AndroidTV's that Roku seems to be based on such as something like these:

I want to know if these remotes function in Netflix, as I know their app really sucks with a pointing device such as mouse, mainly due to their foreground popup, not actually being a popup and when using arrow keys it scrolls the background... Do remotes on devices such as this work in the old Android (4.0) builds of Netflix, or has someone tried any of these AndroidTV boxes/sticks that work well with an IR remote and Netflix (assuming that it is IR)?
OR what is the cheapest functional stable Roku-like, or Netflix streaming device with a full remote (4-way cursor, back, home, and maybe power button)?
Are Netgear streaming players a good alternative to Roku?
Mainly because Roku's 90 day phone-support, and the remainder of the 1 year support all via e-mail (unless you pay an extra $12 fee) really pissed me off, not to mention having to activate EVERY DEVICE for a Roku sucks.
Bumpity-dumpity for input...
Does anyone have any RJ45-wired AndroidTV devices?
Well it's a long time coming and I haven't seen any threads with a how to use a Bluetooth Wiimote from the Wii for those gamers out there. Additionally I have been able to play using the Wii Classic Controller Pro attached to the Wiimote

(I want to note that it is the one on the right and optional as not everyone has these). Note that I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader, running the latest RageHD rom. So let's start the shenanigans..
1.) Download and install this free app from the PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid
2.) Turn on bluetooth on the phone if not already enabled.
3.) Open the Wiimote app, then press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time on the wiimote controller, it should start flashing.
4.) Press 1 Init and connect within the app, it should pick up the Wiimote and say connected.
5.) Once connected press 2 Select WiicontrollerIME to enable the Wii controller.
6.) Finally go into the emulator or game of your choice and enable Bluetooth devices and assign buttons.
Tested on:
My boy! Emulator, no lag and no issues.
Nesoid Emulator, no lag and no issues.

I'm just trying to see if anyone else has gotten Nvidia grid to work with an alternate controller. I bought the Moga Pro to try and use with it but it's a no go for me. It keeps saying to connect a controller which is frustrating when one is connected. I'm guessing they mean connect our proprietary controller. If anyone has a work around I'd really like to know what it is. I'm running the stock shield tablet no root or unlock BL, any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a MOGA Pro Power and works perfect. Do you use it on B mode?
Moga Pro should work in mode b, which is standard HID mode. Don't even need the moga software on you shield.
I've played with the OUYA controller for a long time. May be there's something in the MOGA settings...
I originally bought the Playpad Pro and it worked but there was lag due to the bluetooth connection. I switched to the Nvidia controller and it's basically zero lag now.
Hello all
as soon as i ordered my Mediapad, I know I'll use it for work
Thus, I was looking for great combo to be efficient and here is where I arrived...
I discover months ago DisplayLink Desktop docks, and bought one
Power of this dock is the capability to make me use VGA Monitor, Mouse and keyboard (USB) from a single micro-USB Plug
Then with experience, i recognize google launcher (and some of the apps are not so good in landscape on 21" monitor)
I just discover Leena Launcher some days ago, and will try it soon
anyway, it looks promising, as it includes :
- Multi Floatting Windows
- Browser
- File Explorer
- Twitter / Facebook Apps
- Gdrive apps
- Youtube Apps
- Apps launcher
Here is the Official Page
Demo :

this allow to see X2 pic on large monitor (using VGA / DVI)
Then, I plug on the dock a mouse and keyboard (USB) and use it on my X2
Therefor I download Leena Launcher as a kind of "Desktop" launcher
REALME 5 PRO.
Can Someone help me fix this problem,
My gamepad is working with my PC and Vivo V11i, also my OTG cable is new, working also with my Flashdrives, Mouse, and Keyboards.
When I plugged my USB GAMEPAD With OTG Cable and turned on the OTG CONNECTION ... it is not detected. I keep pressing the switch on my gamepad but the LED is not turning on red. I think there's no current flowing on my gamepad.
Is there a way to fix this without rooting my REALME 5 PRO?
What is your gamepad model? Give me picture.
Or search in youtube for a solution
I have already search a solution on youtube but none of them works. I found an app named USB JOYSTICK CENTER.. I use it but It just turned my gamepad LED Red light. I can't map the buttons to my PPSSPP. And then after a few minutes the app crashed and just turned off my gamepad again. I think the problem is the input method. The devs didn't include a fix for it last update of January 6.
Since I can't upload a picture of it, this is the picture of my gamepad in google:

I think that your phone doesn't support this gamepad
Try another model of gamepad
Or try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaozhuo.gameassistant
already tried octopus keymapper but still no luck ?. Yeah maybe, have to buy another one, by the way, is there a way I can connect 3 or more bluetooth controllers in my RM5 Pro? For example like the real Wii Console, I really want to play Dolphin Emulator with my friends.
Try one of this models: t3,s3,v8
