Help with getting WII remote to work on my Gtablet

Hello all,
I need a Little assistance getting a Wii mote hooked up to my G tablet for gaming with emulators. I got the program from the market that uses blue-tooth to hook up to the Gtab. It does hook up but i cant get it to work in the emulator. I try to map the buttons which it does but it wont work on the actual game. Anyone know the settings I am supposed to use within the wii mote program and the emulator? I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks, Rob

I'm to much of a newbie here to post links, but this should be easy to figure out...

I use simplewiicontroller.
Open the app hit the connect wii controlled button...you should get a message to sync it (make sure blue tooth is on) by pressing both buttons at the same time. Now hit the use simple wii controller another box will pop up select it again....loan up your emu app of choice then map the buttons. Works for me have fun. When you are done playing open the app back up an select android keyboard or tapntap keyboard. Otherwise you wont have a keyboard.

I know emulators like snesdroid have an additional option in settings to enable Bluetooth control that needs to be set even after mapping keys.

Thanks! That streamlined my seach for the right app and the propper steps. On my phone the on screan keys are perfect distance appart, on the Gtab its a different story. Playing anything faster paced than final fantasy tactics advance was difficult. This makes playing games a dream.

[Game][2.1+] Musikr v2.1 - Take "Music Quizes" to the next level

News! version 2.1 released with some bugfixes. Changelog:
Function to Include/Exclude folders now working.
Added vibration option Fwhen time is up in Arcade and Challenge modes.
Back button killing app on level selection screen problem fixed.
Option to toggle transition effect added.
2.0 Changelog:
*Whole GUI redone from scratch!
*Tablet support added
*Internal code improved, some bugs solved
*Song random start point option added for all modes
*Bunch of other stuff done long ago and forgotten...
Hey all. This is a little game I've done for Android, hope you enjoy it
With Musikr, take the classic "Music Quiz" to another level!
You'll have to test your knoledge about music. It will randomly pick a song out of your local music repertoire, play it, and put it on a list along with 4 songs selected randomly as well.
Since version 2.0, it (in theory -> in AVD's seem to be fine ) supports all kinds of screens. You will need to have at least 5 songs in your local library. Also, it has support for two languajes: English and Spanish
Musikr has 3 game modes:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Free Mode
This is the simplest mode of the whole game. We'll only have a hits, failure and score counters. If you hit, you'll win one point. And if you fail, you'll lose one. As easy as that!
Arcade Mode
The arcade mode is similar to the free mode. It just adds a stopwatch to see how long it takes for you to select an answer. This mode has 5 diferent levels:
Super Easy
Easy
Medium
Difficult
Impossible
Each one has a diferent time limit. If you guess correctly inside the limit, you'll win a point. If you guess but it takes you too long to answer, nothing will happen. But if you fail, no matter how long it takes you, you'll lose one point.
Challenge Mode
This is the most "complicated" game mode. In this mode will add lifes (5 at start), and a new value called "Next", which indicates how many songs you have to guess correctly so to win a life. It's initial value is 10, and it will decrease each time you make a hit (regardless time). But it will go back to 10 if you miss one. Just as Arcade Mode, this one has 5 levels too.
Level - Time limit table:
Level - Time Limit (Seconds)
Super Easy - 15
Easy - 10
Medium - 7
Difficult - 5
Impossible - 3​
Options
In the selection (mode or level) menu, you are able to enter preferences. In which you'll see the following options:
File Selection Options: This will help us if we have some sounds in our memories, which we don't won't to be on the list.
Folder to skip: If selected, it will include all songs in the memory EXCEPT the ones inside the folder specified.
Folder to include: If selected, it will ONLY INCLUDE songs inside the specified folder.
Note 1: If you select both options at the same time, they will cancel themselves and you'll have the same result as if you had selected anything.
Note 2: So that you don't have to type the whole path to the folder, you only have to type a string and Musikr will compare it with the path to any file. And if any part of any songs path matches with the string, it will just pass over it, or add it to the list.
For example, if you have a song called "/sdcard/Metallica - Nothing Else Matters.mp3" and a folder called "/sdcard/Meta", and your string is "Meta", it will skip/include both, the folder and the song.
Splash Options:
Show (or not) initial Splash: Will let you select whether you want or not to see an initial Splash.
Change default splash for Musikr's one: By default in this version, you'll see a "Scenery Beta 2011" splash (a little homebrew competition Musikr is in). If you check this option, you'll see Musikr's original splash (which will be seen in future versions by default).
Information:
Version information, this doesn't need explanation at all xD.
I'm completely open to ideas, critics, feedback, etc. Any question, suggestion or comment you may have please post, don't be shy!

thanks! this is just the game i was looking going to test it on my SG3 and asus Transformer (tablet)
too bad that all of my songs are on my Transformer but i think i will move couple of hundred to my phone so i can test this great work

Nice game idea!
I've test on my HP TouchPad, it works on tablet
Some adjustments will be needed as you can see in the screenshot below (the clicks on the song titles are correctly accepted), but it's kinda playable
I've encountered one bug (?) while trying to do the screenshot : I've clicked on home and was sent to home, but the music didn't stop. Nothing visible in the task manager, and a restart of a new game didn't stop the song.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
BTW, your app made it to the portal today!

I'm using Google Music so all my music is located in "sdcard/android/data/com.Google.android.music/cache/music"
How do I get it to find these files?

Yes, it works. But as I haven't defined a layout for screens bigger than HDPI, it shows everything out of place. In next version I'll add support

Love the game, great concept. Only bug I have found is on all game types [classic, arcade, and challenge] when questions come up, music doesn't always play. Since I don't know what song it is, hit a random button and it goes to next question. So, sometimes the music for a question plays and sometimes it doesn't.
Great job though, it is a great start!
And below are the phones I am running it on.

I also had this problem, but i think here the problem is that the app starts the music from the very start and theres a small silence or too little volume before the actual song starts and the machine starts playing the song... so the problem is our music ) it would be nice to have the app start the music from the seconds 20 onward though

awesome game man. you should add some highscore lists or something like achievements

First of all: great game, I really like the idea!
I am not sure but I think in Challenge Mode you will also get points if you exceed the time limit. As I understood it it shall be +1 if you guessed in time, 0 if you guessed but out of time and -1 if you failed....
Thanks again, I am playing meanwhile for 2 hours on my A501 (it works with the stretch option of honeycomb 3.2).

Hello! Please just add proper support for higher-than-WVGA screens (I read it's in progress), I just love your game core, seriously. Thanks for the app!

It has some kind of highscore system for each game mode. But I plan to enhance it and make it more 'graphical' and user friendly.

Today I had some spare time, and did some clean up. Solved the bug you mention, the one angelus mentions, and also improved the way the game handles music playback
Next thing to do: see if I can make the song start from a random point; add support for tablet screens

Am i doing something Wrong?
I followed these instructions and i got Wifi Keyboard working very quickly (for emails, text messages etc...) however it will not activate the Cheats in GTA III for Android... I am using a Motorola Bionic and just downloaded this game yesterday. In addition to this method, i also tried game keyboard and could not get any cheats to work either. The one i tried most was "gunsgunsguns".. i tried hitting "enter", and not hitting "enter"... am i supposed to type anything else? i've really tried everything. I'm almost thinking i downloaded an updated version of the game that disabled cheats... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

wow, its working! thx man

Howdy everyone, this is the thread I'm putting together to walk everyone through the step-by-step process fellow ACS member ShabbyPenguin and I have concocted to get Google+ Huddle on your desktop. There's a video, there's files, there's awesomeness! But first...
Shout Outs
If you Google search "Get Huddle On Your Desktop", there's a number of tutorials on getting Android to work on your desktop. We used these tutorials to get started and used user comments to help troubleshoot problems we had. I'd list individual links but we used pretty much all of them.
Shabbypenguin for getting the Market to work better, getting Google+ to work on the emulator and creating the file everyone will be downloading and using. I really couldn't have done this without his expertise. I linked his name to one of his posts so you can give him thanks as well
Me for getting the Market to work in the first place, getting interwebz to work in the emulator on a permanent basis, having the idea and writing this thread
JunkDruggler and Greenmuggy for the awesome on-the-fly graphics!
Lastly, of course, is everyone who helped by testing to be sure it worked. Thank you!
Why?
Huddles are a brilliant way for a large amount of people to keep in touch with one another. It uses social networking to make adding people to the chat easy, it doesn't use a lot of battery life and makes it convenient for getting a hold of people wherever you are. One massive, gaping problem, though, is no desktop client. Instead of trying to talk everyone I know into using Skype, IRC or other ways of talking to mass people on a desktop, it was decided that Huddle must be ported to be used on a desktop. It was the only logical conclusion.
With that in mind. We got Google+ running with full internet and market access. However, it was a hell of a process and took many hours of troubleshooting and collaborating. To simplify the process, Shabbypenguin exported the entire set up into a universally importable file so that anyone with Virtual Box can port it in (with a few tweaks made) and start using their Google+ Huddle on their computer. Once Virtual Box is installed and the .zip for the import is downloaded, it takes 5 minutes to set up. We are not the first people to get it to work, but we are the first to make it a painless, easy process to make it available to a mass number of people with minimal effort.
Features
*Android 2.2 (FroYo) emulated in Virtual Box (We had to use FroYo, it had the most stable internet connections)
*Market works...mostly.
*Google+ and Huddle work flawlessly
*Full internet usability (such as web browsing)
Specifications
*Has been confirmed working on Windows 7 and Linux. Since it's an environment run in Virtual Box and not on the actual OS, there's no reason to believe that it won't run on a Mac as well.
*According to my task manager, Virtual Box running this uses between 75MB and 90MB worth of RAM. There's no conceivable way you have less than that...but if you do, your computer is going to lag hardcore.
Installation Instructions
01. Download and install Virtual Box from their official website. Do a normal installation, no special instructions required.
02. Download the VHD (virtual hard disk..*snicker*) from the original thread at ACSyndicate.
03. Move the VHD you just downloaded somewhere where you won't forget it or accidentally delete it.
04. Use your favorite archive program (I prefer 7zip) to extract the contents right there in the folder.
05. Double-click (or otherwise open) the file that was unzipped entitled "Froyo". Not Froyo-disk1. This will open up Virtual Box and import our pre-made FroYo emulator into your Virtual Box.
Now it would appear as though you're done. However, because this was ported from a computer that wasn't yours, there's some stuff you need to check (and maybe change) to make it specific to your computer. Please follow the remaining directions as they'll likely solve your problems.
06. Before booting up, there's a couple of settings you need to change. So go to "Settings" (should be a button at the top), then select "Network" from the left margin. Make sure "Enable Network Adapter" is checked. Then select as follows:
Attached to: You want "Bridged Adapter"
Name: Use the drop down menu and select your primary network card / network adapter / whatever. Usually the first thing in the drop down menu.
Click *advanced* to drop that menu down if it isn't already.
Adapter Type: PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)
It is very important that adapter type is set to PCnet-FAST III. Not sure if the numbers in the parenthesis are the same, but the essential part is PCnet-FAST III
Promiscuous Mode: Allow All (not sure this even matters, but it can't hurt to be sure)
MAC Address: should be filled in automatically.
Lastly, check the box that says "Cable connected". That was a long step.
From here if you double click "FroYo" in Virtual Box, it will boot up Android 2.2 inside the emulator. It'll get to a pre-boot menu asking about which one you want to boot, just select the top one (hdpi).
Important
Once you hit the Android boot screen, go up to where it says "Machine" and click "Disable Mouse Integration". This will allow you to move freely within the emulator using your mouse. You MUST do this on every boot. So if you close out, remember to do it again.
Lastly
When you go to sign into Google+ for the first time (you'll find it in the app drawer), it'll ask for your gmail and password like normal. Type in your username and password like normal. You MAY get some stupid error about using special characters in the email address. Hit "okay" and it'll go back to the prior screen. DO NOT RE-TYPE YOUR USERNAME. Just click in the password box and it'll auto-fill the "@gmail.com" part for you and work properly the 2nd time you do it.
Known Issues
*You will frequently get notifications that the system can't get updated Market data. Disregard, this is meaningless.
*Occasionally you'll get an error notification about signing into gTalk. Disregard, this is meaningless.
*You will get miscellaneous error notifications. Ignore them. This is for Huddle and Huddle only with a few other basic functions. We're not going to be troubleshooting (read: fixing) these.
*Sometimes it appears as though the battery is draining. Do not be alarmed, your battery will not die and the emulator won't crash.
*Sound does NOT work and, obviously, neither does vibration so you will not hear any notifications. You'll have to open up the window to check your Huddle.
Pro Tips
1. The "esc" key and right clicks on the mouse function like the "back" button. The "Home" key on your keyboard functions as the "home" button in the emulator.
2. Once you're all signed in and ready to go, back out to the home screen, open the app drawer and go to settings. Then navigate to display and change the screen time out setting to "never timeout". This will prevent the emulator from dropping back to the lock screen.
3. You will not be able to copy/paste things from outside the emulator to inside the emulator and vice versa. Don't try it.
4. If you stay in the Huddle app, it'll automatically put the focus in the text box when you open up the window so you don't have to click in it to start typing. Just start typing.
5. If you need to scroll up and down in a huddle conversation real fast, click in the text box then use the up and down arrows. much easier than using the mouse to click and drag.
6. The "tab" key will not ever work. Don't try it.
7. Personally, I never exit Huddle, so when I open the Window it's always right there. If you plan on using this as a Huddle-only thing (like you're supposed to), then it's recommended to just leave Huddle open.

step 06: check the network settings to make sure they're correct
then double click froyo in virtual box and it should boot up in a new window. check out the video at the ACS site if you have more trouble. I do the whole process from start to finish on it.

huddle/messenger is open source and has an api.. i wonder why noone has made a desktop client yet..

Am I missing something? Can't you join a Huddle from a G+ browser window?

I must have been confusing. I double click froyo and all it does is open virtual box it doesnt set anything up or create a new virtual machine so i cant even get to step 6. So maybe i should say it does nothing at all.

Install bluestacks.

probbiethe1...i don't understand why it won't work for you. did you get virtual box and not vmware (i don't think you can use either, i think it's gotta be Virtual box) and what operating system are you running?

this is awesome bro. thanks for your time and effort for this

It was our pleasure. I'm sure Google+ will make a Huddle/Messenger for desktop (or at least a web browser) eventually, but hell why wait?

Am I the only one that seems to be having this problem?
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Froyo.
No error info.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ProgressProxy
Interface: IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}
I have followed all of the instructions and all of the settings were correct. (and the numbers in the parenthesis were the same too..)
Thanks

Sorry about the thread necro (of sorts)...
I think this is brilliant... however, I just tried setting this up and for some reason it won't let me log into my Google account (says wrong username/password)... rest assured, I know I'm using the right login information. Anyone know if something has changed?
Thanks!
PS I should add, the network otherwise appears to work fine e.g. I can log into Google via the virtual Android browser just fine.

Does this still work for people? I have followed the instructions, and can access my gmail in the VM, but trying to sign in to either google+ or Messenger fails.

The Inactive Skyrocket Projects Thread

This thread is dedicated for the skyrockets no longer being used for service. The purpose of this is to see what kind of life we can give this phone other than keeping it in a drawer. as of now this does not have any original development but ideas and hopefully we will get some developments with this. please feel free to share your ideas, links and screenshots of things you may be doing with your device if it's inactive.
1. XBMC
Whether you are wanting to use the device around the house or on the tv xbmc is an awesome solution for your media needs. I have a media server in my house with dvd .iso's, music, and games all being delivered to my networked devices so one cool way to access the media is xbmc. for those of you who don't know xbmc is xbox media center it was originated for the original xbox for those who moded. It has evolved into one of the best open source multi-platform media solutions around.
I downloaded the app from here personally I'm using 13 RC1 gotham the app itself seems to be downloading as a .txt so you need to rename it to .apk before installing. once installed launch the app and any media on the device will be detected any media you have on your home network can be set up to access it by browsing to the source. The app will play most popular formats and will play .iso videos directly. If anyone runs stock firmware I'd like some input on if you can use mhl with xbmc as well as a bt mouse and keyboard giving you a decent tv experience on the cheap.

2. Child Friendly device (WIP)
For me this is going to be a proof of concept more than an actual thing. My son is 4 years old and sometimes to entertain him in public settings or if he's been good we let him play games on one of our phones for a while. this obviously has some issues since he's an evil genius and likes to tinker. I'll be using nova launcher prime for this use case. First add any apps you wish to allow the child to use to your homescreen, delete the app launcher button and hide the notification bar (set gestures as needed). make sure you hide any apps you don't want them using from the app drawer, also make sure you have play set up to ask for your password every time, alot of the free apps have links to other apps which they try and buy (trust me my son pulled it off on the wife's iphone). The pics are just a quick mock up of what you can do to handle most of the little things kids try to do. i had two finger swipe up for app drawer and down for notifications hide anything i don't want him using and I have my password set so he can't buy anything without me.

im fimiliar w/xbmc , openelec, xbmcbuntu etc. but i never tried the android version, which one did u try, the arm or x86.
btw on firefox they both dl as an apk file

I was using chrome So that may be why, arm is the one you need for the rocket.

Nice note for those at home. If you rename libril.so it kills the no sim warning and stops the cell radios. So for unused devices it will do wonders for extending battery life.

I use mine as an MP3 player/GPS. I removed all telephone/SMS/MMS related apps from vincom's superlite AOKP and get 5-6 days on a charge with 3.5-4 hours screen on time, and with GPS and Bluetooth always on. I didn't rename libril.so like you suggested but it doesn't seem to search for a signal nor does the status bar have that black triangle you get when you don't have a signal. I've been running it like this for about a month. @TheCybertronian, I think this thread is a good idea. This phone still rocks even when you don't use it as a phone anymore. :thumbup: Now I'm wondering what else I might be able to do with it...

@1BadWolf I was never a fan of the rockets audio quality so I used my evo 4g for mp3 but I will do a write up for it in the next few days.

No, it's not great but installing King Beatz helped it out a lot.

My plan is to build a mount for it and put in my car semi-permanently as a digital dash using Torque and a BT OBD-II adapter, and navigation using CoPilot. I also want to try using a mini BT keyboard/mouse to control it, so that could get interesting.

@rpr69 if you do id like to see you do a step by step with materials used and pictures, think you can pull that off?

Can I? Of course. Will I? I'll do my best. I'm still missing a few parts, but I'll probably start looking at it this weekend. There will be some software components as well, I'll try and list them.

I have tried installing KingBeatz (current version, test version and 2 older versions) from http://goo.gl/C83XrX (xda link just shorter). I can't seem to find it in my app drawer or in Apollo's settings. Can you give a play by play for your install method (maybe with flashable zips)? I see the Beatz app as a system app when using "System App uninstaller" from the Play Store.
I removed Apollo and DSP Manager to see if that helped, no dice. Maybe because I'm on an Avatar 4.3 rom?

I just flashed the zip posted in the thread that you linked. The app that it installed is called Beatz and is similar to DSP manager but with a few changes. You'll need to have one of the MP3 players listed in the op of the King Beatz thread, though because the zip file doesn't install a separate player.

Baby Mon/Security Cam
I realize I'm not breaking the mold here, but I've always kind of thought that I'd use it in conjunction with a IP Webcam App to serve as a security camera or possibly baby monitor if we end up with another baby. In combination with DDNS it can be used remotely and cost next to nothing to maintain.

Do it provide instructions and pics and I can add it I'm still thinking of creative things.

If I get time I'll try to throw together some screenshots and walk-throughs but it's really pretty simple. The app I've used is here , it's easy enough for anyone to use and can be viewed on a browser. If you get on your router and forward the port you choose (8080 by default) to your phone's IP you can view remotely. It even has a dedicated mode, which I've not played with but is what planted the seed to begin with.

its pretty easy
1st find your phones ip address
from phone open ip webcam> start server
pc browser "put phones ip address here w/out quotes":8080
webcam browser window>video>browser or which ever method works for you
you can record, take snapshots etc

Just found this thread - good idea. Sometimes I use the SR as a backup with Magic Jack while I'm fixing whatever I was trying to do with the new one (SGS3)

Realized that my Skyrocket had been sitting in a drawer for almost two years now and I want to make good use of it. This is exactly the type of thread that I was looking for when I came back to this forum. Any other ideas floating around out there??

Well..for those who like to play around with stuff, this phone has all the required hardware for packet injection and WiFi monitor mode. Using the bcmon app you can enable and disable monitor mode on the WiFi chip.. Cool for penetration testing and general fun. Also I was able to get Kali Linux running and on-screen viewable using linuxdeploy app and vncviewer.. Runs pretty decent. Also I agree the audio on the skyrocket is awful. I may check that kingbeatz thing out.
