Wiimote

Now that some of you have gotten your hands on this device, could you try the wiimote app to test if it works? I know other htc devices haven't been able to connect, but with the new sense, I'm curious to see if it works. Thanks!

I am desperate to know this. I have seen people playing mario 64 with a wiimote and have yearned for that since. But dont really want a motorola to do it. Its not a deal breaker, but it probably should be.

Positive I read someone said it won't work. But if I had a Wii I'd give it a try.

More than likely won't work. Have not seen a bluetooth 3.0 phone work yet. You can check in the g2x forum I think they got the zmote to work.

For somereason devices running sense or touchwiz have never been able to use wii controllers. On my g2x I can only use it if I'm running cm7 or another aosp based rom

According to HTC's bluetooth spec it should work. Sense 3.0 BT stack has support for the bluetooth serial port profile which is I think what the wiimote uses. Have to wait and see, but there is hope.

Anybody able to test this?

Tested - Does not work.......
Hi guys, I tested this using the Wiimote Controller app by CCP [email protected] and can confirm that it would not pair with my Wii Controller.
If anyone has tried any of the other apps I'd be keen to hear from you as I'd love to be able to play all my old NES and SNES titles on my emulator on my new Sensation......

Damn...

Watch TV on Android

There's a pretty nice app on the market called Androidvideo Recharged. It has many tv shows to stream to Android. It doesn't use flash, so it is compatible on more devices than most streaming apps.

Cheers , but I do prefer Icestream.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream
It can't be beaten, and its free.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Regards

IceStream uses flash though, and just links to other sources on the internet that you can go directly to on your browser.. They can be removed at any time also. Androidvideo has their own servers and can ensure that videos won't randomly be removed.

Don't forget to tell everyone that the app is free but you have to pay to watch anything.

I prefer SPB TV, it has not that many channels, but enough for me, and it's free.

You don't have to pay to watch anything. What are you talking about. They do have a premium membership but they also have free videos. If your not smart enough to figure that out, maybe you.shouldn't be on XDA.

Uses flash? To do what? I don't even have flash installed and ice stream works perfectly...

Ice stream isn't even on the market anymore and none of the links on my version of the app work anymore nor have they for weeks. Least with androidvideo, when they have a server problem, they have their videos back up within days, not weeks.

currently still using ice stream and almost all of the links I have chosen work. Did you download moboplayer and select soft-decoding in the settings?

I love ice stream...I even use it for xbmc in my living room!!

I use IceStream as well for Android on my Tablet and Phone.. quite nice... although sometimes with MoboPlayer it crashes , It plays well with MX Video Player .. Too bad its been removed from Market and its no longer on the dev's website either... not sure why.. probably a C & D .

Should I buy the Transformer?

Hi guys!
I'm planning to buy the TF101, but I'm not sure about a couple of things.
Can it actually play 1080p videos? Or 1080p YouTube videos? Is the YouTube app streams over 1080p?
Or we must open the browser if we want to watch it in high resolution?
How many hours it usually lasts with watching videos?
Is it fine with the stock ICS, or I have to switch ROMs in order to get a decent tablet?
I would greatly appreciate an input from those who have the TF101.

If u buying new, rather get something else, ics is a hit n miss on the tf101 at the moment, and asus don't seem close to fixing it honestly
I've got one, no serious issues with mine, I enjoy it
Not sure about the video playback

Hi!
Thanks for your answer. Could you please explain what do you mean by "hit and miss"? I thought all TF101 got ICS OTA.

to tell you the truth i traded my ps vita for tf101 and never looked back this thing is awsome even on stock it was good with 4.0.3 had no probs then after root cwm custom rom and kernel this thing flys and is buddery smoth would recomend it to anyone as ive had no probs with mine.

Can you play 1080p videos on it? Youtube?
I can't wait to have it, but these things stop me right now.
Does it have a USB host option?

It will play hd youtube(720p i think) however the playback is not great, actual image quality is pretty good but as soon as there is any sort of fast moving action it starts to skip a second here, a second there Really annoying as it is a priority for me also. The last firmware update was supposed to have fixed this issue but seems to have made little difference. Have finally got round to rooting and am now searching for a rom that has sorted the issue. Its not a bad tab apart from this though and if you can get it at the right price there really isnt much wrong with it

That's what I was afraid of. That I'll not get it without putting a new rom on it.
Well, that means I have to look for something else
Usb host is basically USB on-the go. I know the keyboard has it, but I wasn't sure about the tablet itself.

The nexus 7 looks awsome and has killer specs and a price tag u can't beat. But I'm just new to the TF and I love it not one regret.

Android 1.6 Youtube Apk Anyone?

So I have a cheap budget 5 in tablet. It handles youtube mobile video very well, but it has a wonderful time trying to actually load videos in the youtube apk. So does anyone have a older version? Maybe like android 1.6 old since maybe it can work with that.

[MOD] Somebody enabled Miracast for Nexus 7

I just found this on GitHub:
Somebody, called Kensuke, enabled Mircast (Streaming screen over WiFi) for the Nexus 7. I don't have mine here so I can't test it.
Maybe somebody can try it out.
It seems that he compiled the complete 4.2.2 ROMs with the addional Miracast Support.
Try it on your own Risk!

awesome! Cm should merge this feature. And now, we know Miracast is a software-related not hardward-related. Oh yeah.

Oh man I hope this gets baked into some ROMs! This is the one feature that I really want that the N7 doesn't have...

I would love this baked into a ROM

Would love to see this become a common feature for Roms.

Tried the Tilapia package for my 3g. It almost works. I'm going to play with it some more. Documentation for his app would be great. It's not straightforward.

Have there anyone a image now?

If someone would like to test it I did include the patch on my ROM, take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43489843#post43489843

So anyone able to verify this working?

Well this is exciting. Hopefully there's enough demand for it so we won't be limited to just a handful of ROMs to take advantage of this.

I wonder if there is any way a mod like this could be packaged into an Xposed module? Or is it such a fundamental change that it has to be baked into the ROM?
I would test this out if I had a Miracast receiver already. Also I don't want to lose the tethering menu in my current tilapia ROM, so ideally if a ROM had both Miracast & tethering that'd be great.

So you streamed your screen to your TV, no problems at all?
Is it smooth? How much does the Allshare dongle cost, I should get this instead of Android stick PC.

Tried both allshare cast dongle and Android TV stick (dual core rk3066 one), all works. Pretty much the same experience as my Nexus 4 with native wireless display.
With android TV stick, it lags a lot. Definitely not for gaming, no. But with allshare cast dongle, it works much much better..
In my country, the dongle cost me around $80
