ive noticed that the evo 3d supports HID when i connected my bluetooth keyboard and mouse to my phone last night.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can confirm if a bluetooth gamepad, such as the MSI BGP100 will work on the Evo 3D.
Also, does anyone know of a bluetooth controller that has the same type of buttons as a playstation 1 controller that also works with the Evo 3D?
it does support HID!? YES!!! I was holding off checking because I didn't want it to sour the whole experience!!! HAHA YES!

I can confirm that the Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard works - it's a folding keyboard that you can fit in a big pocket. Also - I used the HID option on the Freedom keyboard and connected absolutely painlessly. I was also able to connect a ThinkOutside bluetooth mouse without needing any drivers.
I also own the MSI BGP100 gamepad. I can get the Evo 3D to see it as a "GAMEPAD" and I can pair them, but can't get it to "connect". No matter what I do - I see "Paired but not Connected".
If anyone has any ideas or drivers I could try - I'd be happy to report back.
Edit: I just downloaded the "bluez" gamepad driver from the market - and I'll report back on it later tonight when I get home from work.
I can now confirm that the MSI bluetooth gamepad works a treat with the bluez IME drivers you can download off of the market for free. The drivers will work for the most common bluetooth gamepads available for phones it seems.
The process is not so clear. First you pair as I stated above, just using the regular phone's bluetooth settings. Using the touchscreen keyboard, I typed 0000 to connect to my MSI gamepad.
After that, I opened up "settings" "Language and Keyboard, enabled bluez ime. Then I went into bluez IME settings on the same page. I activated bluetooth. Selected the "gamepad" I had most recently paired to. I selected the proper device driver ie "MSI Chainpus BGP 100". I selected IME, specifically ticking on the Bluez IME keyboard. This disables the touchscreen keyboard by the way. Then I configured keymapping for each of the gamepad's buttons - matching them to a standard keyboard.
After that, I went into the emulator (in this case GENSOID) - went into settings, other settings and enabled "use input method". Finaly I went into "Input Settings" and changed the key mappings for each of the emulator's buttons. At this point, the inputs should be responding to the bluetooth device's keypresses - that's how you know you've succeeded.
So far - I'm very impressed. I'd only used this bluetooth gamepad with my HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile 6.1). With these drivers I notice next to no lag. I played about a half hour and got no disconnections either - the signal seems strong - unlike my experience with the Touch Pro back in the day. I haven't played extensively - but it did get me through two levels of "Altered Beast" and one level of "Golden Axe".

try the phonejoy gamepad
http://www.phonejoy.net/index.html
Sweet im getting one ASAP.
If it supports HID, which it sounds like it does then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks!
Has someone tested the Wiimote with the 3D. I have one laying around somewhere and I'd rather not buy a new controller if I don't have to.
I could not get wiimote to work. I read somewhere it has something to do with the new bluetooth 3.0 not being compatible or something. In any even it would not work for me.
It's not BT 3.0, its HTC's non-stock BT stack that is the problem.
Wiimote doesnt work, however I.done remember where but someone was saying that other bluetooth gamepads have worked on the e3d!! Ill try to look and see if I can find it again

The one in my video on the first page of this thread will work with the Evo 3D, as will the iControlPad and Zeemote (Zeemote doesn't have enough buttons to be particularly useful however).
I have done some research and found that the only Bluetooth controller that works with the Evo 3d is the Gamestop wireless Bluetooth gamepad for tablets. I have been trying to get a hold of one but they're always in short supply or the only way you can get one is to buy a tablet and they give you a free gamepad with your purchase.

The Wiimote definitely works, but only on an AOSP gingerbread rom, like CM7. I have a backup of cm7 and everytime I want to play a game with a gamepad, I switch to that rom and connect. Works everytime. Been doing this since I had the OG evo.
Also, using a Sony Dualshock controller, the one that Sony makes, not a knock off, and using the app sixaxispairtool works flawlessly on an AOSP rom. I used to use the wiimote and the classic controller but it was just too much. Two controllers and a wire (wii) compared to just a wireless ps3 controller, the ps3 way is just easier.

BT KeyBoard as Game Controller?
I have a GearHead KT-1282 BT Keyboard... On the 3vo running ICS Stock-Rooted, it Pairs & Connects fine, as does my Logitech RCQ142 BT Mouse. I've been trying to get the BT KB to function as a Game Controller while I play Mass Effect: Infiltrator... I Need HELP...
I've gotten BluezIME, Game Keyboard, & Sixaxis Controller from the play store, and have been screwin with the configurations of each of these for a while...
Using Game Keyboard as default IME, I've gotten the KB Keys mapped to certain GamePad buttons, enabled "Perform touchscreen action with physical key", etc... and that, nor any other attempt has yielded any results within the game...
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance...
so i wanna use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard on my sgs2.. i was thinking of gettng an MHL cable and hooking it up to my monitor, and hooking up the keyboard and mouse to the phone, to give me android on desktop.
will any bluetooth keyboard/mouse work? or do i need to get some specific ?
Hi, I'm wondering is there any way to force atrix games to work with some gamepads different than PS.
Today I installed Need For Speed Most Wanted and game is nice but it's hard to drive turning phone or on that little stering wheel.
So I have HD Dock and tried it with Xbox360 wirelles pad with original USB adapter but phone said that it's not compatibile USB device. I tried same thing with Ligitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 and there is no error message about USB Device and adapter blinking when i hit buttons but no reaction on the phone. I know i should use some emulator but none from market is working.
I don't wanna buy PS pad only to play few games so I figured that maybe somehow I can use USB keyboard to play.
So maybe someone have some emulator to remap keys on USB keyboard to work with NFS??
International Atrix, 2.3.4, non rooted, locked. Ofc I can root phone if it's needed.
I'm sure there's apps to remap keyboard.
Also try a wired Xbox controller not the wireless one and not the charge kit.

I just have Xbox360 wireless pad and Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 and I'm trying to avoid buing 3rd pad only for Atrix cause it have no sense.
Thats why I'm trying to deal somehow with what I have.
There is a guide in another forum that was posted a while back on how to edit your rom to have it read the wireless controller as a wired one and apply the same profile to it, I suggest you search for it and try it.
I tried plugging my wired Xbox 360 controller on my lapdock using CM9 (Yes it was open) but it didn't stop blinking... I don't even know if the USB supports other things than USB storage on the Atrix.
USB keyboard and usb wireless mouse working fine so it supports more than memory sticks. As I said before adapter from Logitech pad is not shows as unsupported USB device like Xbox adapter but I have no idea how force it to work. I read that most working pad emulators isn't working on Gingerbread so maybe it's the problem.
If the USB pad in question supports the HID protocol, you could be in luck. Otherwise, you're probably screwed.
Thats right, completely forgot about HID. If I'm not wrong all HID devices should work. I'll check that Logitech pad but as I remember under windows it's discoverable without any Logitech drivers so maybe it gonna works. Otherwise any tweak to remap keyboard to work with games?? I know keys can be remap from /system/... but I don't need to remap keys permanently but only for few games so it can work even on some emulator.
I'm wondering that anyone work it out how play games on external keyboard yet cause it could be very easier than typing on screen or rotating phone and now smartphones are bigger and bigger and it would be very comfortable to play on full keyboard and big screen.
It's easy to add usb support for the joystick/gamepad generic and xbox controller but you need to recompile the kernel avec joystick and xpad module.
I'm working on a keys mapper for the 360 controller and I built a kernel for that but I shared it only at french users on a other forum ...
It's only the kernel build with this source : http://sourceforge.net/projects/atrix.motorola/files/Atrix EMEA/4.5.2A-74_OLE-20/
And 2 or 3 options to get ntfs, cifs, ext4, it is not unified and I have build a little software with java 7 in french to add the command line in it with tegra part and serial as a original.
It works fine on the retail fr 2.3.4 rom.
If you want to try it : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11889182/kernel/Kernel_2.6.32.9_djeman_v1.0.rar
And the original thread : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/12...adjoystickxpadcifsutf-8ext4ntfs/#entry2078963
I don't found any good mappers for the 360 controller on the market so I'm working on mine.
If others peoples are interessed by it, I will make a translated version and a subject here.
I can confirm that my regular (not wireless) Logitech controller works fine, although not with all games.
Connected to a Lapdock.
heres what i discovered from experience.

Custom ROM (cm9+) and stock roms ...with many kernel changes, I've always had same result.
1stly on the Atrix, unlike most tablets, the USB port doesn't give any power to the device.
I tried an otg cable with no luck so I modified it so power ran through the cable.
I also have a multimedia dock which produced the same result.
I can run and mount usb devices (storage) so I can transfer data or watch films; mounting is aided by a USB host app on the play store.
Any time something like a Xbox game pad is inserted dmesg shows it was noticed but not identified, so it doesn't look like it will work without manually adding the drivers/modules to support the device.
I have a friend with a nexus 7; Xbox control will work on that with a basic otg cable; only need to map the gamepad keys and in some cases such as emulation apps the keys are already mapped.
Hi
I assume you can not buy the nexus bluetooth gamepad anymore. What buetooth game pad now would work with the nexus player please. Like it to be wireless please.
Bluetooth is universal (for the most part), should be able to use any bluetooth gamepad. I don't think this model is available anymore, but I'm using a Matricom G-Pad BX Wireless on my player, phones, and laptop.
