[Q] sgs2 wiimote and mhl both working (on one rom)? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I searched for info on this and found a few old threads but the last replies were in August, and the threads only addressed half the issue, so I thought I would post a new thread.
The Problem: AOSP roms can connect to the wiimote no problem but they do not support MHL out. Samsung based roms support MHL out but cannot connect to a wiimote.
I would love to be able to use my sgs2 as a portable emulator setup
Is anyone working on any kind of solultion to this?
Will AOSP roms be able to output to hdmi at some point or is there a licensing issue i dont know about?
Does anyone know a workaround to get the wiimote to connect to a stock rom (by replacing the bluetooth stack or something)?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Was also wondering this same thing. I have also tried to find out if ICS will be pushed out to our phone anythime soon as this is rumored to fix this also.

The simple solution is ditch the wiimote and use a PS3 controller instead as https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller works on stock Samsung ROMs.

[Q] PlayStation Controller

Does anyone know if this App works for Stock Software or CM7 on our SGS2?
I read that it does not work on the Stock software, but the test app says it should work on my SGS2 running CM7. I dont have any of the controllers, so I need someone to confirm this!
According to this link http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html, it should work on CM7 because it use the correct protocol for BT.

Youtube video, vary cool!

reguarding the BT stack to make the dualshock 3 work on android, can it not be pulled from "somehwere" and inserted into our stock roms? Or is there more to it than just that? can someone please educate me as to what would have to be done to make dualshock controllers work on any rom?
I bought i ControlPad - works fine with stock BT drivers.
Swyped from SGS2.

[Q] Sixaxis Controller with TV out

Hi there.
This is my situation, I want to find a rom that has the generic bluetooth stack (like CM7 or Oxygen) so that I can pair my PS3 controller to my phone. In the same breath I want to stream my phone to my TV (using micro USB to MHL) so that I can play my SNES emulator on my TV.
At the moment I can find a few roms with the right bluetooth stack but none of them have tv out working.
Anyone else having any luck?

Have you tried it yourself? Criskelo is based on stock and has no mention of changes to the bluetooth stack. In other words, that won't help.
In answer to the OP, there is currently no way for you to achieve what you want. You can only have one or the other.
AOSP based rom for bluetooth (i.e. sixasis), stock based rom for TV-out.
there are none afaik.
For a dirty work around you could try CM7 with this app
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/mymobiler-for-android-presenting-android-screencast/
It should get you running on a pc monitor at least
Until CM7 gets tv out i think your outta luck sorry, this would be an awsome feature tho
Well at my my assumptions have now been confirmed and I'll be able to stop scouring the internet for a solution. Guess I'll just have to wait till CM7 gets it running.
Thanks for putting my mind to ease... at least for a little while.
Hi guys,
It's time for a new update...
Just checked the new version of "Sixaxis Controller". The SGS2 is now supported!
So now it works with a stock based ROM + TV Out! I tried it on a Criskelo ROM with the Siyah Kernel. It works fine!
To pair the controller with the SGS2, just follow the instructions listed here:
dancingpixelstudios. com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
To activate the buttons of the Dualshock in FPse you should first disable the touchscreen buttons and set new hardware buttons. F.e. press "Start" hardware button while the optional field is on "DOWN", then press down (by the steering cross or the analog stick) the proceeding with the other buttons is the same..
here i've done a short video to proof the stuff.

Any way to integrate AOSP Bluetooth support into a Sense rom?

I haven't been able to find too much about this by searching, but I was wondering if there's any way to integrate the Bluetooth support of AOSP roms into a Sense rom. I'd ideally like to be able to use Wiimotes via Bluetooth while outputting to a screen via HDMI.
Thanks in advance!

get in line, that's something a large majority of us want. lol. I saw that Chad.Goodman's kernel "Anthrax" had some updated Bluetooth HID drivers but when I tried to get a PS3 controller working it was a no go. so, I think it has to do specifically with Sense itself.
Well, I don't claim to be a developer or anything (yet), but I just wonder what the technical reasons for not being able to integrate this are. Is it really impossible to separate the Bluetooth stack from Sense? If not, shouldn't there be some way to replace it?

Which Rom has full bluetooth HID support?

Been putting off installing a custom Rom on the SGS2 (UK) because it's been working fine for what I need, but now I'd like to use it as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my Windows PC (without the need for a server app).
I've read about an app called Bluputdroid which will connect to a PC via bluetooth and be recognized as a HID keyboard and mouse but requires a coustom Rom with a specific bluetooth stack.
Which Rom should I try?
Thank you
only way i know to get around it is to use an AOSP rom, like cm7/cm9 or MIUI, i did the same thing to get my playstation sixaxis working hope this helps

As coffmad said, any AOSP ROM should work for what you're looking for, as they will utilize the generic Android bluetooth stack, instead of Samsung's.
That said, I know you said you don't want to install a server app, but have you considered looking at GMote? It works over wi-fi. There's a very thin app you install on the computer, and your phone connects to it over your network. This is what I use to utilize my phone as a remote for my computer.

FYI, SixAxis works on Samsung based ROMs, and has for quite some time. I think since October or so. I've got it working just fine, and I'm on stock XXKI3.

PS4 remote play

Hi everyone,
This little thread so you know that the PS4 Remote Play port is working great on my 32Go Wifi Touchpad running the 4.4.4 Cyanogenmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147
The Touchpad is a unbelievable little piece of hardware refusing to give up (thanks to the devs).
Thank you for posting this. It force closes on cm 9 4.0.4
Will be updating
Ps4 remote play now works , but Sixaxis does not. Does anyone have it working over usb otg? As I understand cm11 builds have Bluetooth issues
Anyone find a rom that works with both?

Strange.
My DS4 did work over Bluetooth. (Except the home, option and share buttons but this was not a problem as there is shortcuts for them on the screen).
I'll test again soon and get back to you.

Ok, so i did get a little bit over excited.
The L2/R2 buttons do not work.
I'll investigate and post here if i find a way to make them work.
Sorry about that.

Ok, was your ds4 linked to your ps4 primary account?
Mine isn't (and i do not want to do it ) but this might solve our problem.
Can you try and give me a feedback ?
Thanks.

I think we may be having some miscommunication, I am trying to pair the DS4 Directly to the touchpad via the App Sixaxis Controller. I am aware of the 'use a secondary account with the ds4 connected to the ps4 itself method' but I was hoping for remote play outside of the home.
Haven't gotten mine to work yet, touchpad is being stubborn from a different network. But you should be able to use the sixaxis pair tool and download the version of the app that has invisible touch buttons and there is a pre made key map in post 3 of the remote play thread. Works fine on my phone and should scale to work on the touchpad screen.
with some of the new 5.1 builds i've been able to get the sixaxis to show up, but still doesn't work properly. hopefully this is progress at least!
Hi guys wanted to know where can I get the latest apk version cause the last remote app I downloaded the PS 4 refused to connect because it wanted me to update the remote app
