HTC Sensation Wii Remote control AND MHL OUT! (VIDEO PROOF!)

So, like most of everyone with an HTC Sense based phone that does MHL out I have been trying since day one to play games on my big screen with my wii remotes as controllers. I have tried every combination up to date, and I can tell you that none of them worked.
That is until last night!
I installed the newest version of the stock HTC sensation rom repackged on deodexed by HdRevolution fam

and I tried, just in case my Wii Controller IME app from Ryan Frawley

There you go! have fun. I''m gonna go post this everywhere!

Can't wait to give this a try when I get home. Have you tried any of the other wii ime apps?
Thanks for the heads up.

I tried with one other app that actually told me that it couldn't connect to the device and didn't look like it was working. but I went right back to Wii Controller IME and started playing! Good Luck!

Oh myyyyyyyy......... I was actually hoping for something like this to give minecraft a shot.

what about sixaxis controller ?, does this mean bluetooth was fixed ?.

I don't know about any other bluetooth devices, but you are free to try and post on the status of that in this thread.
Good Luck

doesn't seem to work, im still amazed why is working for you with wii, bluetooth must have been changed.

good for emulators unless your wii is hacked to run emulators

My Wii has emulators too, but now I finally have a tiny portable gaming machine. Especially when my kids are always on the Wii anyway

Are you booted into the new Rom and using the correct Wii controller IME app? I am waiting for my buddy's Sensation to show up over here so I can fix his too. Then I will post again with my results. Make sure you flashed the required update to the phone listed in bright red above. Then full dalvik, cache, and data wipe. Then install Rom.

sorry i was referring to sixaxis controller.

i have never tried using a wiimote and MHL at the same time (i have used both separately though).. but i never knew there was an issue with using both at the same time? is it due to the bluetooth drivers?
also i cannot imagine using MHL to game with even if it did work with external controllers because from my experience the output through MHL has always been a bit laggy so i couldnt imagine gaming with it on current technology

I just tried the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 and InsertCoin 5.1.5 and my MHL adapter works, but on the screen it says "Input Not Supported". (I use an Acer computer LCD with 1080p HD Resolution)
Could it be ROM related issues, LCD because it just works with HDTVs? I'm confused, the MHL adapter doesn't even have instructions.

I was able to connect the WiiMote on MiiUi and combine it with MHL too, (Works well with USB/BT Joystick Center in combination with emulators of older game systems.) however I have not yet been able to consistently use it with an N64-Emulator.
I wrote more about my many many attempts here:
miuiandroid.com/community/threads/pairing-wiimote-with-htc-sensation.16406/#post-123414
but it doesn't seem that anyone is helping there, maybe someone over here has an idea about what to do.

Brighthouse app for Mini-pc

This will work on any device, but i made this for my Mini-PC.
Basically it's the Brighthouse app (BHTV) to watch Cable.
Mods
====
* Root check removed
* HDMI check removed
* Livetv_layout.xml changed the list_channel layout from 330 to 480dp (wider mini-guide)
* miniguide_row.xml changed to be bigger everywhere. Fonts increased, icons tripled in size. Result is about 3 times bigger guide. Nice size rows that you can see from your couch.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Sorry, but I can't understand use of this app for everybody.
How can I use this app? I have got MK808 and I'm from India.

you need brighthouse cable. By everybody, i probably should have said, every device, but you still need brighthouse. The thing is that the software is very limited for even Bright-house users, so i've unblocked it.

Trying this out, but got this message
On Epic 4G Touch over data. Will try on home WiFi in the evening...
The official app works, for the most part on my TF300T after I disable Debugging, doesn't seem to care about root anymore (the older version would not even load, complaining about root).

Nexus 5 USB OTG

Hi guys, I will buy new smartphone, Stuck Between Xperia ZL and Google Nexus 5
Anyway, LG tells that Nexus 5 Have USB OTG, and if you Googled: Nexus 5 USB OTG, you will get apps to run USB OTG On Nexus 5
What does that mean?
should i have an App to use OTG? doesn't it work out of the box? i'm won't root
I Might Use Joysticks, Mouse, Keyboard, Ext HDD,etc. so i want everything to be supported
I've also heared about Nexus 5 Unmount Devices Due to High Power Usage even if the usage is low?

No you can use usb otg out of the box with nexus media importer its an paid app or root it to get full functionality.
Since u don't wannt to root better go with xperia zl.
Xperia zl supports it out of the box, u won't need any app on it
Now its your call.

I Can always get APK's For Paid apps for free, we all know this :laugh:
That's OK But what About Other things like joysticks, mouse, keyboard, etc. Will They Work too? i thought the app was only for Flash Drives!?
Plus, Beside the OTG Thing, Which one do you advice me, I'm not a ROM Developer or those who Install Other ROM's, But i might Use some emulation things or try to Install WinXP as an Example
i Also Might root To use Terminal for Specific Purposes... "Might"...

If you don't want to buy the app I recommend use total commander + USB plugin its free one

I have also tried a wireless mouse and keyboard which work fine.
Game controllers are touch and go.
Ones that use the standard hid drivers should be fine but anything else (Xbox controllers etc...) Will not work as they need modules that haven't been built for the n5 yet.
External storage requires 3rd party apps to Mount

Just root/unlock your phone. You get a Nexus phone and you don't play with it? surely you will eventually. And then , you can do anything to you phone

[Q] How to use a xBox One Controller?

Hey guys!
I want to buy some kind of tablet and controller holder, but I cant get my controller to work with my tablet.
Does someone know how to connect it properly and use it?
I got one of these OTG cabels.

Pretty sure you can't do that. Only with a 360 controller, and it needs to be a wired one.

Well, thanks kinda disapointing.
But I still got a old PS3 Controller, and its working with most of my games.
Expect the menus in Portal and Half Life 2. Is there a way to fix that? I cant scroll through them
/e
Just found a video showing that the xBox One Controller is compatible with "USB/BT Joystick Center "2015"". I got the App, but my tablet still dont recognize it. Is this just a Shield problem?

The Xbox one controller uses neither USB or Bluetooth, so I find that hard to believe.
Was the guy in the video actually using it on his phone/tablet?

It is possible to connect it via USB OTG, but my shield just dont recognize it.

Hey guys!
Just a quick update for everyone who got the same problem.
Looks like the stock rom seriously dislikes the xBox one controller.
So everyone who is willing to flash another ROM. After flashing unoffical CM12.1 the controller is working like a charm with an OTG cable.

No problem, man. Just try to not sound so aggressive next time. Mistakes happen.

So, I am currently a bit confused about this thread. Is it somehow possible on stock or not?
I recently tried the XBox One controller via cable on KitKat stock, but to no avail.
A wireless controller for PC isn't available until later this year, so I don't think this is a valid solution right now.

Xbox One controllers do not transmit data via USB ever.
The usb on the XBO controller is for charging only.
It is a wireless only controller as far as data is concerned.
You will never ever get usb to work because ghe controller does not have that capability with any system. It is an all wireless controller except fof charging.
That is why the guy who said you have to use a wireless pc reciever is correct.
Sorry there is no possible work around as the usb port doesnt physically support data transmission.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

But it is news at all. It is good to know.
Has anybody tried the wireless XBox One so far?

100% untrue. Xbox One Controller works via USB on my Windows 10 computer, no additional drivers. I don't have any wireless adapters or Bluetooth installed.
Unfortunately, this isn't the case with android. Neither USB/Wireless will work without support from Microsoft.

You will find that windows automatically installed drivers for the xbox one pad as it did for me when i plugged it in. due to being a MS device it has its own repository to aquire the driver from and as such may of updated without you even noticing
EDIT: i stand corrected as of windows 10 the driver is bundled into windows, but there is still a driver, its just windows 7 and 8.x users that need to run a driver update to download them, again this would happen when they plug in the pad anyway

That is why the guy who said you have to use a wireless pc reciever is correct. Based on the previous 3 points being totally false this is also likely not accurate
Sorry there is no possible work around as the usb port doesnt physically support data transmission. Where do you even get this information from?? My pc has NO WIRELESS capabilities and works with the Xbox One pad i bought specifically for the PC

Inaccurate statement, you are just the bearer of in correct information
so all that is really needed is for someone to figure out how to port the usb drivers that windows uses for the xbox one pad (which is fully supported over usb on my gaming pc as well) to an android version. I am very tempted to scour the net for any such development already occuring, failing that i will mayb e develop it myself with the people who are developing on the Nvidia tablet who achieved root on it in the first place. I am considering buying one of these devices myself, but i may look to see if a newer version is in the pipeline anytime soon and if there is save my money for that one. if only they had a shield tablet x1 edition like the tv box

No need to keep quoting me.
I was provided and in turn provided inaccurate information.
I apologize.

what is your favorite game controller for the S6?

Post your favorite game controller for the S6.
Please state wired or connected through bluetooth.
And tell us about your experience with emulators.
I personally tried to connect:
A wiimote to the S6 through bluetooth to play snes games without any luck.
A wii U controller through both bluetooth and USB > no success
A xbox controller through USB > no success

I use my ps3 controller via bluetooth. Had to download a key mapping app (available on playstore) to get it to work properly. I'm contemplating whether to buy a cellphone mount for the case so I can attach my phone on the controller (to achieve something similar to nvidia shield).

Rakcoon is probably going to tell you a different way (or maybe the same way.. dont know we will see) but this is the way i did it.
Your phone must be rooted for it to be able to work with these apps.
First get Sixaxis Compatibility Checker if you havent. and check if your phone is even compatible at all.
IF yes get the Sixaxis controller app. it costs €1,94 but i'm sure you can get the apk somewhere for free.
Have a good day!
