I think I have found a way to connect a wiimote to 4.2 devices like the Nexus 10, but I need some help. In the Bluetooth menu off 4.2 you are able to find the wiimote and then it asks you for the PIN. Now here lies the problem: What is the PIN for the wiimote? Well I know a way to solve the PIN but I am not skilled enough to actually solve it. Allow me to elaborate below
1. Download the App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.bluetoothmacfinder it will allow to find the wiimotes MAC address. Mine is: 00:19:1D:C2:25:CF yours will be different.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO ACTUALLY CALCULATE THE PIN! I AM NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE IN C AND HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE OUTPUT OF THE CODE WILL BE!
2. Use this method to calculate the PIN of your Wiimote:
Lets assume my Wiimote is being used and has the bluetooth address "00:19:1D:C2:25:CF". If you want the PIN for bluetooth pairing in a simple string, do the following(This is 'C' code):
char pin[6];
pin[0] = 0x00;
pin[1] = 0x19;
pin[2] = 0x1D;
pin[3] = 0xC2;
pin[4] = 0x25;
pin[5] = 0xCF;
Now "pin" contains your bluetooth pin that should be used for pairing your devices.
I HAVE NOT MADE IT TO THIS STAGE YET AND WOULD LIKE TO TEST IT!
3. Press the the red 'sync' button on the back of the Wiimote and then search for devices on your android device. When the Wiimote shows up, tap on it and enter the PIN you received from the 'C' code earlier.
I only assume that this would connect the Wiimote as an ambient bluetooth device.
4. Now install Wiimote Controller App (THIS IS JUST FOR THE WIIMOTE IME SO THAT THE INPUTS ARE RECOGNIZED BY EMULATORS AND OTHER APPS): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...BjcmVhdGlvbnMuYW5kcm9pZC5XaWlVc2VBbmRyb2lkIl0
5. Now you can use the Wiimote as you did before on your pre-4.2 devices
***NOTE: THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK! AS STATED EARLIER I NEED HELP DECIPHERING THE WIIMOTE'S PIN!
Are you sure, that this function creates the PIN for the Wiimote? Haven't found a source for this, but would be interested just 4 fun.
Edit: found something but doesn't work for me: http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,6850
--Found out wiimote mac address from "wiipair" (GUI version...this quoted the wiimote MAC as 23:53:81:81:02:05, whereas windows thinks its 05:02:81:81:53:23)
--Typed out "23 53 81 81 02 05" in notepad (maybe try reversing this depending on how you found out the wiimote MAC)
--Select all, copy, paste from notepad into hex editor ("HxD")
--Saved file from hex editor

So, afaik now you don't need any pairing code, on windows 8 you leave it blank and it works.
Tried this (just converted straight from hex to ASCII values). Didn't work.
No passcode, 0000, & 1234 did not work either.
Anyone figured out a way to get Wiimotes working on 4.2.1?

I'm in the same boat. I've trid 0000 and 1234 but I don't think either one of these will work. From what I understand, each Wiimote's pin is unique and tied to the BT MAC address, hence the decode methods discussed.
I assume the OP was suggesting a method to decode the Wiimote pin using the BT MAC address to pair using the standard BT recovery method in Android's "Settings" menu. Similar to how you would pair a BT keyboard or a BT headset. Can the OP or anyone confirm if any of the methods used in this thread work with JB 4.2.1?
Translating the MAC addresses to ASCII won't work for me, because all four of my wiimotes' MACs begin (or end!) with null.. (and so does the OP's, I just noticed). There's no ASCII character for the hex value 00...
More info: http://www.wiimoteproject.com/bluetooth-and-connectivity-knowledge-center/perminant-wiimote-sync/
Why must Google mess with things? Oh yeah, because we keep demanding new stuff...
I'm next to useless in C programming but I believe a more complete version of that sample would be
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
// insert code here...
char pin[6];
pin[0] = 0x3A;
pin[1] = 0xA1;
pin[2] = 0x6F;
pin[3] = 0x69;
pin[4] = 0xA7;
pin[5] = 0x64;
printf(pin);
return 0;
}
The main addition being printf which will print the contents of "pin". You can see the output if you compile and run it such as I've done at codepad.org/o1lpe4Kb
The problem of some values not converting properly remains unfortunately. The output should be 6 characters but a1 and a7 give funny output. a1 converts to i easily enough in most calculators but a7 is ยง which I could see causing problems. The fact remains that some bytes in most bluetooth MACs cant be properly translated. At first, spoofing the device MAC seams like an easy fix and it may be on some devices however my rom doesn't seem to have any simple options to accomplish this. I have read some success stories based around entering the MAC hex values in a hex editor and then saving as a text; anyone who has had success with this method, please post your results so we might see exactly what the wiimote is looking for. If i continue researching this tomorrow, I'll be looking at /data/misc/bluedroid/btconfig.xml. This is the only file i could find which references my MAC address and it appears as though it includes device pairing info, my hope is that info can be manipulated to bypass the pairing helper.
I hope a solution is found. Pairing a Wiimote would open up the way to some really cool applications.
Google supposedly changed something in the way that bluetooth functions as of 4.2.1 and this is causing your problem of the wiimote not connecting.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36616107&postcount=1
So, I assume that there still is no solution for this? :/

I've spent the last 2 hours looking for a way around this infuriating pairing issue. None of the wiiremote apps work, the pin is always asked for and whatever I type is always refused. I'm not even running Android 4.2, but 4.1.2 via Cyanogenmod10, so I have no idea why I'm even getting this PIN screen.
So I ended up dropping $15 on a wiimote that won't work when I was lead to believe that it did. Just have to wait, I guess.
On 4.1.2 it should be possible. Running a Wiimote app and pairing it with your device should not be a problem, and neither ask for a key.
Maybe you should check out some youtube videos that show how easily this is done. I recommend videos made by Armando Ferreira. He's done one or two about gaming with a controller on Android.

I know how it's done, as I said I've used multiple apps. Every time, the pin is asked for. I've tried XDA threads aimed at ascertaining the pin, but they don't work either. My only choice now is to run a different ROM.
Oh man. I just got off a flight that I was planning on playing some super Mario bros world on my Xoom. Just upgraded it to 4.2.1 and no go on the Wii mote sync. Looking forward to a solution. I wonder if 4.2.2 will fix this. Worked fine for me on 4.2.1.

It's so sad to see that there's still no fix for this, even after the fix of the SixAxis app 2 months ago. I think we'll probably never see the wiimote connected to android anymore. Unless there will be a dev to look into this...
The dev for the wiimote app in the play store is aware of the issue and claims to be working on it. I havent given up hope yet.

This is a work in progress. I fixed the code at http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc/ . It has limited value right now, but someone may have a use for it.
It listens on standard port 5900. I copy the fbvncserver app to /data/local/bin/ using adb:
Code:
adb push fbvncserver /data/local/bin/
From adb shell (with wifi on) run the commands:
Code:
# chmod +x /data/local/bin/fbvncserver
# fbvncserver
From your desktop computer, use any Vnc client to connect to your phone using its wifi ip address.
To do: Compile and test the keyboard driver. Add code to enable using a mouse to control the session, as theres no code for that yet.

Well, right now at least (unless I'm doing it wrong), neither -- you can watch your phone with your PC. A just because kind of thing.
Get this thing running, fire up a vnc client on your machine, get cam studio humming and there's your video screen capture.

Actually this has nothing to do with any bugs in the Sixaxis app or otherwise. All of the *oid emulators require that you enable Settings->Other Settings->Use Input Method.
Alternatively you can try the new 'Bypass IME' setting under preferences, which will allow you to still use a soft keyboard while the app is running.

Yes, it is open source. When the code is a little bit more polished I will publish the code. The VPNService is part of Android 4.0+, so nothing is required regarding tun. (On custom build ICS images thing might differ, but that is bug in the image)
Perfect. Thank you. I will try it and give you feed back.

Excellent! I had almost given up hope on being able to (successfully) use OpenVPN on my Android device when I learned that ICS would make it easier. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I have also created an OpenVpn application, mainly ported for Cyanogenmod 7, which retain almost all CM7 OpenVpn features. Sure, it is open source, check it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591585
Too bad that the effort was made twice now :/ I did not know of your porting attempts. There was a discussion on the openvpn-devel mailing list a month before and nobody knew of any porting attempts.

Sorry, that I respond so late. Thanks for the suggestion of hash algorithm. I will look into implementing a hash algorithm preference.
With latest version, using "--auth sha256" in advanced options, works perfectly.

I do not understand your question. What do you want to know?
This question may be stupid, but when OpenVPN is connected, does all network traffic on the phone go through the VPN channel?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Depends how you set the routes. If you set default route on then all should go over the VPN channel. You can check the routes with show information from the log widow.
It took me a while to enable 'redirect gateway' and configure NAT on the Linux server side, but after that this app works great and all traffic are going through the VPN tunnel! Thanks a lot!

To the OP: which version of OpenVPN did you bundle in the app? Does it support IPv6?

2.3.0pre and it does support IPv6

Very helpful developer.
I like this program the best compared to the other one in here for ICS, as this one has more options, nicer layout, and is the only one working properly for me.
However I did have to put in my DNS settings automatically, but then everthing also worked correctly
Now I only miss a on/off widget, the app would be perfect!

Hotspot Control is a tiny app that enables or disables Portable Hotspot functionality of Android. Usually you could just do this in Android settings, but on some devices this option is hidden, or only works if you have a SIM inserted.
Hotspot Control does away with those requirements, assuming that the hotspot functionality itself is actually still present and operational on the device. Rooting is *usually* not required.
THIS IS NOT DESIGNED TO BEAT YOUR CARRIER'S TETHERING PROTECTION - For some people it does (it depends on how that protection is implemented) but this is not what the app was made for. It's no use complaining that it doesn't do this for you. This app is designed to circumvent some issues when setting up a local hotspot so your devices can communicate with eachother, not with the internet (though that also works on several devices).
You can configure the access point (hotspot) name and password, encryption used is alway WPA2 AES + TKIP, to keep it simple.
On some devices that do not have a cellular data connection capability (like the Nexus 10) the hotspot will not give out IP addresses - the app will auto-detect this situation and fix it, but root is required for that option. Note that without root on these devices, the connected devices can still communicate if you configure their IP addresses manually, but that is something for the advanced user.
I personally need this to create a private network (even without a SIM, and thus without an actual internet connection) in the field between a number of my devices. Some genius at Samsung decided that my Note II shouldn't create an access point if no SIM is present - I beg to differ! Maybe someone else has use for this as well.
This is probably not useful for more than a handful of people, but still ... I had to build it for myself anyway, might as well share it !
Download from Google Play
REDISTRIBUTION IS *NOT* ALLOWED
Changelogs
2013.04.12 - v1.1
- Added (automatically detected) feature to fix the issue with some devices that do not have cellular data capability (like the Nexus 10) that they do not give out IP addresses. Unfortunately this does require root to fix.

Thanks a lot for the app. Its really nice. I could get wifi hotspot up and running on Micromax-P275 tablet without any difficulty.
I wanted to share my internet connection over the wifi hotspot but found that the routes were not getting set in the mobile. I am not sure where the problem lies. I had to run the following set of commands to get the desired routing done.
----------------
<pre>
#!/system/bin/sh
# script to enable internet sharing over wifi in micromax tablet.
# run this with root permission after starting the wifi "Hotspot Control" software.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

I can't speak for this cool app, but on CM and AOKP (ASOP roms) tethering was not initially functional on Jelly Bean 10.1 . This now has been fixed on most AOSP 10.1 roms. So it could be that or both.
Here, I've coded this in a weekend when I ran out of ideas for my other project, and just wanted to share it with you
What it is?
XPlayR is a remote bluetooth gamepad (no analogs for now!) implementation to be used with the XPERIA Play.
It implements an InputMethodService in the server side to send key events to the controlled application.
As there are no non-rooted way to inject touch events into the UI, i'm not bothering to implement remote touch events (i.e. On-screen controls only games, like games that doesn't fully rely on key events). If anyone knows how to do it, then tell me!
Actually it's designed to support up to 4 clients (a.k.a. 'Controllers') via button mapping at server side (only 3 possible mappings are implemented), tested it with 2 controllers at a time, but don't know what would happen if more than 2 clients are connected, as I saw some lag because it uses bluetooth, there are some keycodes that are available only after SDK 11 (min version is 10) and maybe the device could handle only a number of key events at a time.
Installation
Install the client on the XPlay's that you would like to use as gamepads.
In the server (tablet or somethig like that), you must enable and change the input method to that of 'XPlayR Remote Pad'
Remember to change this setting back after you finish gaming because it doesn't handle text edition for now!
How to use it?
First, you must pair the clients with the server, using the device's own method to do so (i.e. Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth > Pair device...)
Then in the client, open the menu, and select 'refresh devices', touch the server name, and then wait for it to connect.
Remember, the fastest to connect gets controller 1!
You'll know what controller you got looking at the LEDs on the bottom of the screen.
I could've made this a paid software, but I'm too lazy to do so...
Also, I like to return something to the community because what I get from it (ROMS, KB, and so on) is far expensive than what I'm giving.
Tested it with RetroArch, DraStic, PPSSPP and Mupen64Plus AE on a Galaxy S4 i9500
Server and Client attached.
So, hope you like it
I did what you said to do and then it just keeps getting errors saying unable to connect :/

Bluetooth was on? Have you enabled the input method in Android's settings? Tried to re-select it after the error? It gives any exact error? What device(s) are you using it on?
Sorry for so many questions

I installed both server and client in a xperia play, xperia mini, and a galaxy S4, ranging from GB up to JB. they ran fine, just some random FCs when BT was off. I need logs to search for possible bugs in other roms.
Retroarch was hard to configure because it has a somewhat complex input config, it's not very user-friendly atm
Some other emus like the *oid series doesn't correctly catch key events sent from the server, at least on my setup.
Can't redownload, the link is dead? Or maybe my connection error, I'm using gin2jellbean v2.20

The apps are in xda's servers so maybe you got a connection error
Yes, it's okay now ..

Some users just don't know how hard coding a single app could be

I second this! I'd love to hook up my xplay to my computer and use it as a gamepad.
So can you make it work on my pc
Please

yeah, yeah, im posting, and maybe breaking rulez, but this app is awesome!
i tried it on mi sgTab2 with cm11 and my old and loved xperia play stock+lupusv12full
and works perfect.
Awesome work!
thanks!!!
TYWM!
It works great!
xPlay is gin2kk and it works without problem on Xperia ZL in ppsspp.
Only problem in client (Play) is when in landscape mode (slider open) and when is to much paired devices, i can't scroll down, but once deleted list of other paired devices, i can see and connect without problems.
Thanks again

As some said, what the Xperia Play really needs is an app that allows to use it as a gamepad for PC. THAT would be awesome.
