hey guys im trying to use the touchpad on my dock for qiii4a to play open arena, im currently running cromi-x and have tried using /dev/input/event4 and /dev/input/event5. back when i was on the original cleanrom i tried lots of different events that i thought might be the touchpad but none worked, any ideas?
Hi, there should be an option for using external mouse in the settings of the game, so you don't need to do it anywhere else. It's actually one and only game, that I know that supports mouse look.
Anyway, it requires Root, but it works amazingly
lol that dosent help at all, i dont think you understand. i know the game allows for use of an external mouse, i want to use the touchpad that is built into my dock. cromi-x is rooted, and the option in the game to use a mouse asks for the event device that the mouse registers at, i keep trying to give it the touchpads event but its still not letting me use the touchpad as mouse for the game. anyone?

Hi,
Just wondering if its at all possible to control the Transformer from an Android phone, the Xperia X10 on 2.1 in my case? I ask because I now have Plex on my transformer and would love to have my phone as a remote control for the tablet so I can keep it near the TV on HDMI while I can pause, play etc in Plex? Would also be nice if you could control other things on the tablet but just controlling Plex would be nice at this stage.
Thanks.
My question will be different can we sync SMS from my phone to transformer?
I am also very interested in this sort of functionality, albeit for a different reason. I currently own a G2 and am planning on buying a transformer in the next few months. I want to be able to use my phone as a game controller for emulators or games running on the tablet. I am wondering if there's an app that can do this already, and if not I might be interested in trying my hand at developing one. Now don't get too exited though, as I'm still a beginner with app development, and it would more than likely take a while for me to figure out how to do it. But I guess this is doubling as an offer to any other app developers out there with more experience than me, if you want to work together on something then I'm more than willing to help
you can use textab on android market
I believe Blueput Droid can do this

I'll second Blueputdroid. Phone has to be rooted, but it works great for me on HTC Desire.
sorry ignore.
DroidMote Server/Client
Long time lurker first time poster. I had this question and on another post somewhere it was suggested to try DroidMote Server. I installed Droidmote server installed on TF and client installed on phone(Droid 1). I can control everything I need to and it has a built in mouse function with mouse cursor on your tablet. Im not sure specifically about the Xperia. You could try it and have a 15 minute window to return if it doesnt work or just contact the developer.
is this even possible? ive always rooted devices in the past, but with the hardware issues that some people are having, id rather not have to root my TF. is there any way to connect my datel bluetooth controller for use with emulators without rooting? really dont want to void my warranty.
thanks in advance.
erm.... I've got wiimote installed and its working fine with no root .....
how are you syncing it? i can find it in bluetooth, but 0000 and 1234 arent working to sync.
i was under the impression you need the wiimote app (which says it needs root right away)
I had that problem too. Dont sync it the built in bluetooth app. Just turn on bluetooth then try to sync in the app. It will auto see it and sync.

The wiimote controller app does not require root. However, I don't think it works with 3rd party wiimotes. You need to buy an official Nintendo one. Also, there are a couple of different apps (there is a paid one). You should be using the free one in the link below. For some reason I can't find it on the market anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672884
used the link below and it worked great. that is a nice app without root.
and it worked like a charm with my datel retro wireless... being able to play emulator games and quake etc with a wireless controller is amazingly nice.
now i just wish i could find a true mame emulator that worked.
Hey guys I want to get the setup for the wiimote but want to make sure I know what I need. The threads I see with people using the Classic controller with the Wiimote are using 2 parts right? The wiimote + another controller that connects to the Wiimote? I've only used a Wii a couple of times so I'm not familiar with the setup.
And to confirm aftermarket Wiimotes are not working? You need a Nintendo one. I saw a nice aftermarket one in Frys but it didn't say anything about bluetooth but it was wireless.
TIA!
Anybody get it working with nesoid? Does the mapping have to be messed around with?
I gave up on nesoid and decided to try NES.emu .........it works awesome, has built in support for wii controller (however you still need wiimote) and it has full screen.
It is a paid app though.....

I got it to work last night. Map the buttons (select, start, B, A) through wiimote and you should be good. Playing Double Dragon 2 right now.
Hi everyone.
For those of you who keep up with gaming news, a huge breakthrough in Android gaming has arrived today: the addition of the alpha version of Minecraft has been added to the Marketplace.
However, it only shows up if you are on an Xperia Play phone. Of course, this does not mean you cannot get it and/or its Demo in other ways (which I will not link here), but there's a problem...
It does not play on anything else but the Xperia Play.
I have downloaded the Minecraft Demo for Android and successfully installed it onto my Transformer. It runs, albeit in a small window (and does not give me the option added in 3.2 to make it full screen.
The game does NOT have touch controls. In order to move to other options, you have to have either A. the keyboard dock or B. a controller plugged in through USB.
I have tried both methods. I can use the arrow keys and/or d-pad to select different options. However, I cannot actually choose those options to start the game up. I would assume the X button or the Start button would work, but neither of them do.
Has anyone else tried to get Minecraft working on their tablet and had better luck than me?
Doesn't matter, even if you get into the game (which I have), you cannot do anything. No moving, no dropping blocks, etc. It only works on Xperia Play for the moment.
Decompile the apk and change the controls, then remove device restrictions.

How did you manage this? I don't understand why the arrow keys would work for the menu, but wouldn't work for moving around in the game.
Moving isn't enough, you have no way to control the camera. You might be able to move, but without being able to look up/down the game is still pointless, not to mention lacking controls so you can't drop blocks/use items/etc.
Good to know. They did say that it would be available to more devices asap... and no intention of iOS support (which is funny to me but stupid financially)
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI or CM7.1
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver/Custom Kernel

Minecraft would be awesome. I don't have the dock though, so no touchpad or mouse for me.
Do bluetooth mice work with the transformer without the dock?
right now its a Xperia Only app for a limited time, probably for a month or so then they will allow it to go to other tablets. Im sure a modder can mod the controls in for touch screen.

Wouldve been nice.. I need a gamepad for my tablet, About to buy that onlive universal controller.
Funny, I'm looking for the same thing.
Is there nothing out there that can do this?
Hope no one minds if I bring this thread back - I've been looking around for solutions for this (even before this thread) and stumbled upon androdhid a while back, but I still haven't tried it out:
http://code.google.com/p/androhid/
I more recently found android-bluetooth-touchpad and actually gave it a try:
http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-touchpad/
I couldn't get it to work with Windows, but maybe I was doing something wrong or maybe they were running into the same problems that androhid ran into (they talk about it here: http://code.google.com/p/androhid/wiki/AndroHid ), but I did get it to work with my Android tablet and was able to use it to move the mouse pointer around and click, but the keyboard feature didn't seem to work very well. In contrast, androhid claims to provide a working keyboard, but no mouse support due to technical hurdles, although a commenter mentioned he had extended it to get mouse support working (I tried contacting him, but no response).
So anyway, we have here two at least somewhat working solutions that at least work with Linux/Android, if not Windows. And they're open source.
How interested would ya'll be in adapting these into something with the Xperia Play in mind, so you can use your Xperia Play as a bluetooth gamepad compatible with Linux/Android tablets? (and also as a mouse/keyboard) I may try and work on this if I can find/make the time. It'd be nice to get it working with Windows too, but that might be further off. Or if someone else wants to spearhead it, I'd be willing to help as I'm able. I'm not promising I'll have much time for this any time soon though, but it hopefully shouldn't be too hard.
Or does anybody already have some other good solutions for this? Seems like the solutions I've seen either aren't very good, or rely on custom software on both sides of the connection (both a client and a server, whereas by following the HID standard, you only need custom software on one side-use app on the phone and connect to any android tablet with bluetooth hid support, which most ICS and beyond tablets will and maybe some Gingerbread).
Further down the road I'd even like to get USB HID working, but I'm pretty sure that would require kernel-level development. (ie connect your phone via USB and it acts as a USB controller too)
EDIT: Or maybe I necro'ed the wrong thread, but not sure this one had any good answers either:

If it helps, such an app would be relatively easy to make for the buttons and dpad but not the touch pad.
The problem is no one had any incentive to do it.
It would be awesome if the maker of TabletRemote would implement it, he already took care of all the grunt work (nice ui, register each other, settings, etc.)
I made a proof of concept app in a few hours and it worked just fine.
I don't know what the point if this post is.

Use Tablet Remote for bluetooth remote control, use GameKeyboard to map physical buttons to touch events and you're done !
(However I think GameKeyboard needs root access ...)

I was really just hoping to stir up some interest to motivate me to actually do some Android development. I'd like to spend some time doing Android development, but I rarely have the motivation since I do enough programming as my full-time job and tend to want to relax and do other things when not at work.
You're right, it seems like there isn't that much incentive for this, so it would be nice if developers who already have apps that are so close to what we're talking about to extend their solutions to cover this.

Good to know that that combination works out, even if it is a bit roundabout! Shows that having a workable solution matters more to users than following standards. (EDIT: And I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm just saying getting something working is what's most important, worrying about following standards and implementation details is something programmers worry more about than users)

In fact it works, but you can't press some buttons at the same time ... so I must find an other solution ...
There should be an app that allows to use the Xperia Play as a gamepad on PC. I thinks it's an idea that would completely rock.
I think you can do that already. Just acts as a HID.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pcon&hl=en here ya go. Think thats the one.

Yeah, I would like that eventually too. Unfortunately, that's more difficult to do, at least as a true HID device... both the androhid and bluetooth touchpad projects I mentioned ran into a roadblock trying to work with a Windows host (because they don't quite emulate a true/full HID device, just almost, which is "good enough" for Linux). Connecting to Linux distributions which use the Bluez bluetooth stack is very doable, however. Maybe it'll be possible to modify/recompile the Android Bluez bluetooth stack to overcome this, but that makes it much more challenging and puts it further off.
There might be other strategies involving custom driver software on the PC to make it work though that would be easier. (The advantage of operating to the HID standard is that it works with PCs/tablets/phones out of the box without special drivers/software on the host)
Do go watch the demo linked to on the page below, he uses his app in gamepad mode to control a mario-like game running on Linux:
http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-touchpad/
EDIT: Or guess the non-HID solution already exists as Mysticales pointed out above. Note that it is likely not truely emulating a HID device since it requires Java software on the PC. Still, it should get the job done!

I just managed to use my Xperia Play as a controller via wifi for my PC and it works WONDERFULLY!
Heres what i did
downloaded and install this :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pcon&hl=en&rdid=app.pcon&rdot=1
you also need to download the PC client for it to work
Theres a Xperia play mode included but its awful , some buttons dont work and the X button fails to register after using the dpad.
So what i did was use Joypad 1 (the one with the on screen controls)
And used GameKeyboard with a 6 button controller.
End results? it worked perfectly.
First off, if this thread is made in the wrong section, I apologize.
Secondly, I've finally gotten around to installing Emulators for the SNES and Genesis and I've been using my Ps3 controller flawlessly since I've a dock with one USB port.
I thought i'd be a bit enterprising by getting a USB hub and plugging in a second controller so that me and a friend can enjoy some classic side scrolling goodness but unfortunately both controllers never work simultaneously. Any button that's pressed on either controller will register for both characters so neither moves Independently. (Example:- First controller hits up, both characters jump, Second controller hits left, both characters move left)
Is there anyway around this? I'm quite sure I'm not the only that's tried to do this, so I'm hoping that you lot in the know of this stuff can help me out somewhat since I've not been able to deal with this on my own. Cheers.

Multi controller support needs to be built into the app. You'll need to ask the app devs.
That's an awesome use of a tablet/dock!

To answer your thread's title, yes. A hub on your tablet works just like a hub on any other PC. The ports are treated independently rather than clones. It sounds like whatever app you're using accepts any control inputs it recognizes as controler 1. As sdbags pointed out, that oversight is within the app. From a system perspective, multiplayer gaming with multiple controller inputs is totally possible. Just look at Ouya.
