Minecraft Pocket & Sixaxis Controller

I have just started using Free Minecraft Pocket Demo with my sixaxis controller. You need to use a controller because the game requires physical buttons as its made for the sony experia. Works pretty well there are a few bugs but nothing major.
Here are the links if interested.

It's working fine on my Incredible.

When I tried that app to get the six axis working its said no. So you must have some magical Inc that allowed it to work, tell us what you did. I had a whole topic on this in the q+a section cuz I want to use my six axis for emulators. I had no responses of how to get it to work.

How do you map "enter" or whatever it takes to smash blocks? Also have you played around with the full version? Minecraft Pocket?

I'm using miui....not sure if it makes a difference. I am running a slcd Droid Inc with .92 hboot. I installed the app turned on Bluetooth and no issues. I contacted the sixaxis dev to see if I could get more info on mapping the input commands for 360 movement and smashing blocks. He hasn't emailed me yet but I will update the post when he does. I can't seem to find the paid app in the market does anyone else have luck finding it?

Are you running a sense based rom? I remember that the wiimote Bluetooth wouldn't work with sense based roms so I assume that its the same for the sixaxis. You might want to try switching to an AOSP rom (CM7, MIUI, OMGB) to use the sixaxis app.
Also we won't be able to see the paid version in the market. It only appears for xperia play devices.

Use the apk provided in this thread. It is fixed to work on the inc

I must have the only one it doesn't work on

This is just too funny my kids are into Minecraft. I better not let on that it can be played on my phone I would lose it. LOL!

Unfortunately, Sense framework's Bluetooth driver doesn't support connecting Human Interface Devices (HID) like a controller or keyboard.
You'll need to run an AOSP based rom, as they have a different Bluetooth stack that does support HID connections.
Also, another fun fact: TV-out only works on Sense based roms, so if you're like me and dream of playing emulator games on you DINC with a wiimote and watching the video on the TV, that'll have to stay a dream.

Ignore me. I just realized that even though I selected "Search within Incredible 2" I still wound up in the Incredible 1 page. Sorry about that.

I have the paid version of Minecraft PE, got it when Google had the $0.10 app sale last fall. I am running CM7 and can use my six axis controller with SNES and NES emulators. I am having no luck with Minecraft PE though. How do you get the controller to work with Minecraft PE?
Edit: I downloaded the demo in the OP and the six axis functions in the game. However, L3 and R3 both run. I can only run and jump. Am I missing something here?
What I need:
Edit Button Mappings
Work with paid verision

So.. what happens when this is turned off? Do I have to pair again with the computer?
I don't normally have a computer to get a hold of so I'm curious what would happen if I synced it to my ps3 after using it on my phone, could I just keep the address and sync it back?

So long as it's not paired with any other device again (PS3 or computer) it will still work with your phone. It would be great if I could pair the remote with the phone over USB.

I found the touch profiles and created one for Minecraft PE. I have the analog_left walking and cross controls the block placement/removal. I cannot get analog_right to work correctly. When trying to turn it only turns as far as a touch from the center of the screen to the right/left of the screen.
The app is listening for a touch and the analog_rght provides a touch for that amount of screen space and when the analog_right goes back to center, the guy goes back looking forward too. As if a finger was moved from center -> side of screen -> center. That's my theory.

I actually got this work.. although its still buggy..
I don't think this will work for this game. It requires a lot of pressing the controller don't have. In general it works perfect. But the GUI and crafting and closing are the problem makers.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2

I will be able to play it. I emailed the dev of the six axis app and he told me how to fix my analog_right problem. All you do is set the button to relative touch. To do this select analog_right Menu -> Button Properties -> Relative Touch. Now it works. I set the sensitivity to about 75-80%.

So close!

I came very close to getting this figured out. I had the left controls set with the D-pad because if you set it with the analog you would hop around randomly. I set the minecraft options to Split controls, then set an area on the right to the right analog...this is where I came into my trouble, I will inform later on. I set my brick inventory to circle and jump to X. Then I set in the middle of the screen R1 to break and place blocks. Everything was find except for the right analog. It would sense a touch, making it place and break blocks when using the right analog, plus it would reach all the way over to the left controls and just freak out. So if you came up with a solution to this problem please let me know what you found out. Thanks.​

I'm sorry to bump this, but is anyone still interested? I've mapped my left analog for the movement( I just changed some button properties) and right analog for view(and building blacks and stuff). Its not complete, but you can play with your controller. My only hindrance is mapping to your block selection. I've mapped triangle as the inventory, but you have to use the touch screen from there. If anyone's interested, send me a PM and I'll send you my mappings.

Using ANDROID G-sensors as a game controller in windows 7?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded Bluetooth PC Remote software which allows me to control my PC Via my ANDROID phone.
It's a great bit of kit, and I was wondering,
Can I send G-sensor data to the PC?
Can I use said data to make a games controller out of my phone?
As far as I know, the app sends the data, and I have installed a driver to my PC so it looks like its found a sensor... (screen print attached), though the sample app from developer site where I got the software doesn't seem to react. minor setback to cool project, no?
Hope someone can help!
PS, FYI, the app name to control my PC is called PCRemote Advance.

Sort of.
I know that for all the mobile platforms, there are games that use accelerators.
I can (supposedly) send my accelerometer data to my PC, but I cant actually find any accelerometer game for windows 7 ultimate. so I will go for the next best option...making a controller out of the accelerometers so I can control my PC games (bragging rights mainly..how many of you can play SHIFT on YOUR phone? )
only problem is, I don't know how i would go about making a games controller out of the driver.

Try AndroG Controller
Try this app AndroG Controller
Watch video youtube.com/ watch?v=WFqEClRF6iI
The app is free but the server costs 1.99$.
Supports multi-touch. It has a D-Pad, 5 button pad , Touch-pad (all on one screen) and G-motion support.

Why Root the GN 10.1?

What facilities does rooting the GN 10.1 with ICS provide?
Mahalo and Aloha.. Al

The SwitchMe app provides reason enough for rooting if you're married or otherwise involved. It allows you to create two completely separate profiles, like you would be able to with Windows, that have unqie Google accounts and applications and settings.
Being able to delete some of the preloaded applications that you can't normally uninstall is also nice. Titanium Backup requires root access as well which is what I use to back stuff up in case something unfortunate happens.
So if you're single or all you're doing is browsing the internet and taking notes on lecture slides, then you may not need root.

This should really be in Q&A, but, for me one of the biggest reasons is to be able to use Screencast to record video captures of the screen. Could potentially use it for recording lectures (i.e. where the teacher writes on his lecture slides using the Note and uploads the video of him writing on the slides).

Sixaxis Controller was my primary reason for wanting to root stock.
The other was to get clean dumps of all partitions so I can restore when the REAL hacking starts.
(Less necessary now that a full update showed on Kies.)

The six axis controller app on the market, a computer or an otg cable to pair your ps3 controller with your tablet. Enable game mode in six axis app for games like max Payne and gta3 . Then you got to make some touch profiles for games that don't support game pads natively

I'm reading a lot of people having problem with the S-Pen after the OTA update and rooting, I think I'll keep the S-Pen working until those wrinkles are ironed out. Thanks for the quick explanation!

Quesrions should be posted in Q&A section. That's my first and last warning.

modern combat no gyro?

I recently baught modern combat 4 on my s2 and it had gyro option and it was great' then i got it for my tab 7 2, but it didnt have any gyro option, and then i tried moern combat 2 (original tab version ) and it had a gyro option but it doesnt do any thing, and i also tried nova 3 and the gyro isnt working either, and i really want the gyro cause gyro +touch = perfect play, so if there is any soliion i hope u can help.
Thanks in advance

I have Modern Combat 4 Zero Hour on my tab2 and didn't know there was ever a gyro option lol. What is it supposed to do? Change ammo or weapon mode like in Dead Space? I'll check on mine and see if there is any gyro. By the way, I found the game absolutely horrible... and I usually love all combat games :/
EDIT: I'm in OPTIONS > CONTROLS and the three control options I see are "classic controls" (slide it to the left for the other two), "screen tap" and "virtual sticks".
No gyro here.
Loaded the game and tried all kinds of things, shaking, gyro rotate left/right, up/down, and nothing happened.
Keep in mind that, if you got it from legit Google Play, the store will send the correct app for your device. Tablet versions of the game simply may not have gyro enabled by the developer, whereas your S2 version of the app will be correctly designed to make better use of the phone design. I've run into this a hundred times while testing non-legit sourced app versions, for example: Plants vs Zombies, the Galaxy S2 version is a totally different file size than the tablet version and won't load on my tab2... but it works great on my Droid 2!
You could try something, sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't... It isn't supposed to work so just be surprised if it does lol:
On your S2, find the .apk file for the game. It should be in /data/app/ folder and titled something like "com.gameloft.android.anmp.GloftM4HM-1.apk" or something close.
On your tab2, find the same .apk file and rename it, simply adding a ".bak" to the end of the name.
This is so you can rename it back to the original .apk easily if this doesn't work.
Copy the game .apk file from the S2 to the tab2 into the /data/app/ folder.
You usually do NOT need to actually install the app, just paste it in there.
Reboot and look in your app drawer for the game and run it.
It might run, it might not, but you may be able to have gyro this way. The graphics will probably be all kinds of jacked up, it will probably ask you to download more sd card data (cuz of the different version), and it probably won't be worth the trouble. But I like trying new things, to see what works and doesn't, so I would try it just for fun. Can't hurt anything. If it's a fail, just go into the data/app/ folder on the tab2 and delete the .apk you copied over and then rename the proper original .apk back to the stock.

thanks for the fast reply and i tried what u told me to and it didnt work, so it looks like the game doesnt support gyro on tabs
edit: aw i just saw videos of ppl playing it on tabs with gyro like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irp7zQt54gU

The answer is easy.
The tab 2 doesnt have a gyroscope
Check the specs if u want

what if, it still has accelerometer which i played black ops zombies with, unless the game doesnt support it and it only suorts gyrocope.
and f so sn't there any way to ........like simulate it?

It doesnt support accelerometer
They are both completely different technologies and impossible to simulate

App Idea for any interested developer

Virtual Trackpad Mouse
Connect the Gear 2 / Gear 2 Neo to another device, ie Laptop, Car PC, etc, via bluetooth, so that you can use the watch as a mouse. You can map the home button to the left mouse key and long clicking the button for right mouse key.
I think the smart watch would be a great platform for a wearable mouse.

Interesting idea, not sure how practical that would be though. Why not just use a mouse?

I like the idea, and for a laptop it would be great, as I never carry a mouse with mine, as I use a thin laptop sleeve and not a larger case where you can carry other items in it.

I would like it and even to use it as a mouse pointer for my note
Lazy as hell but holding my note in left hand(same as gear) then holding my right hand on the wrist and swiping on gear with my fingers. That would be extremely comfortable!

I am sure there would be several uses for it. Me personally, since I can now turn on my TV and control my Directv box with my watch, it would also be nice to control my music/video server, which uses my TV as a 60" display, from my watch when I want to play/pause a movie, select a new music track, etc.
I also know people with tablets or car pcs in their vehicles, it would be a great interface to control those as well.
It could also be used as a "mouse" for people doing simple laptop to screen presentations.
Saying "Why not just use a mouse?" is like saying, "Why buy a smart watch, why not just use your cellphone?" - I think the answer is clear, we are tech nuts who like shiny new toys and love to tinker around and find more uses for them. If the dev made this app, I'd use it daily.

What he said! One of the things I miss from my Pebble was using my watch to pause/unpause my XBMC (I have a gaming/HTPC connected to my 144" projector & screen). That's actually a thing that I would say the physical buttons on the Pebble would do better than the touchscreen, is that I expect it to be more reliable and easy to hit a physical button in the dark without having to look at the watch and focus enough to hit a small touch target. This is also something I noticed when working out and changing music tracks - I could do it without looking on m Pebble because of the buttons while the Gear forces me to slow my pace and focus on the screen so I can touch just the right spot for the music control UI. I often hit the wrong spot and invoke the wrong action with the Gear's small screen.
I use Unified Remote on my Android phone to control my HTPCs though and it's pretty handy. There's a mode of that app that does exactly what OP is asking for, which is give a virtual touchpad and keyboard that controls the PC. If those guys would just port a version to the watch, that would be awesome, although what could be accomplished in duplicating functionality in a much smaller form factor is questionable.

I've found this functionality useful in GMote when watching movies on a pc-connected tv. I'm not sure how much legs something like this would have on a smartwatch though.

recovery mode
Gear neo have recovery mode pleas wee what the root

Offline calendar and contacts
Sometimes it would be really nice to be able to access my calendar/appointments and contacts when offline (not connected to my phone).... ideal would be if appointment alarms go off and remind me even when not connected to a phone. The Gear 2 has plenty of processing power and storage to handle such apps.
This would essentially be an important step to for the Gear 2 to become independent of a phone (but the phone/calling functionality). A small organizer on my wrist so to speak.
Other suggestions: a password storage app (encrypted and protected and sync with PC: something like eWallet or "Safe in Cloud"), chess game, world clock with alarms,...
I am sure there are plenty of other ideas.

A laptop does but things like home theatre PCs don't. I can see it being handy for people with those kind of setups. Especially with stuff like the Steambox likely to make some inroads into front rooms this year. I wouldn't have much use for a mouse app myself but I can see a potential market for one if it's possible.

GPS/location/navigation app.
We really need an app for navigation or location. Glympse is able to do it so why not make a navigation app even if you have to input then info on the phone first.
Also the keyboard app that was stated to be on gear 2 at launch still hasn't arrived. So a keyboard would be great. That way we could reply to texts, though I know that wouldn't be so simple.
Another would me a browser app. Sony sw2 has one. Would be nice to have.
I know is easier said than done but hey....
Also what's up with this shealth crap not working at all. I got an email from samsung support telling me it SHOULD work on my sprint note 3 and gave me four different troubleshooting processes to try and none worked. Told me to call but I do not get hom until 2am. This is one thing that should have worked from the start.

Some people will hook their laptop up to a projector to do a presentation and need to be at the front of the room away from the laptop. This solution would be very helpful to them.

hey I thought of this first!! two weeks ago and yes it seems to be rather hard to find a way to implement this idea with a feture rich app. like Power point control for projector with VC(voice commands) and virtual trackpad with possible fleksy like key board or voice input. for not only PC.. but for HTPC . or mirroring or MHL connection for the phone its self. how great would it be to hook up(I have SGN3) via mhl 2.0 and jumping to the couch and contrilling a Virtual mouse with the Gear 2 swiping with 2 finger or something of the sort plus possiple use of voice to text dictation as an alternative to a tiny keyboard. it would gimickly exite even the most callus of Gadget Enthusiasts for at leasy 10 seconds (-;.
Anyway I am still trying to pull something like this together if anyone want to team up hit me up with a PM

Hey let me know if you need help testing this. Since I went over to the Gear, I miss being able to pause/unpause movies in XBMC like I could w/ my Pebble (it just sent the same codes that the pc accepts as the media control hotkeys). That's all I need for now, although with the Gear having a touchscreen I would've hoped someone could make it behave as the remote touchpad for a pc.

How about using the builtin camera sensor to automatically adjust the screen brightness level. That probably has to go into the firmware rather than an wgt type up.

Simply program waypoints into phone and watch displays distance and bearing to next waypoint swipe sideways and it moves navigation to next waypoint swipe other direction it gives direcyions to previous waypoint add speed over the ground in knots and ill be a very happy bunny i frequently do yacht races that use 4 waypoints done in various orders to complete course now yes i could just look at my phone but it would be so much easier to be able to look at my wrist change the speed unit and it could be used by hikers aswell add a save my position function and you have the perfect app
