When the Razr is connected to HDTV with HD dock station, it would be great to control it with BT mouse and keyboard. But it could be even better using another Android device as such a remote controller.
I spent hours looking for application that I can install on my XOOM and use it as BT pad and keyboard.
Anyone here was lucky to find something like this?
Thanks!
Bump. I was looking into this as well

If you have games, especially cool gameloft ones.
You know how hard and frustrating it is to play with the fingers on your screen.
The only phone that lets you enjoy the game fully is the Xperia Play.
Is there and app where you can connect the PS3 controller via USB or Bluetooth wireless (how it connects to PS3) to play games?
Not like WiiMote that remote is confusing ......
It would be awesome if it was really especially if your phone has TV out support.
Well is there an app like this?
You couldn't use a ps3 controller with phones, because PS3 contollers are linked with their PS3's or PC via Mac Address, so unless there is a full-size usb-to-mini usb (or whatever the phone usb port is called) and someone develops drivers for the phone, you can't use a PS3 controller at all.
On a tablet running 3.1+ could use it wirelessly and wired but only them.

Just wondering what emulators you guys recommend ? Used to use Nesoid for my DX and my wii controller and loved it. Would prefer to use an Xbox controller but not sure if that's possible. Thanks.

Hey just saw your post and thought I'd mention the one I've been using because I use them pretty often. I was a big nesoid fan until I recently found NES EMU on the Market. I can't think of the guys name off hand but he also has one for Sega, neo geo, colleco, and some others I'm forgetting. Anyway they are extremely well made and compatible with Bluetooth controllers so I definitely recommend them. I'm not sure about using an Xbox controller, but I know you can use a ps3 controller with the app called Sixaxis Controller by Dancing Pixel Studios. I set up touch profiles for MC3, Shadowgun, and Gta 3, and it's almost like having a portable console! I played through and beat MC3 with my ps3 controller and the controls are almost flawless. I'd also recommend fpse for PlayStation games and n64oid for Nintendo 64 games.
Awesome man thanks, can you load and save games?

Hey sorry it took so long but yes you can save and load games. You can even set it to auto-save and you can access it all with a ps3 controller if you're using one. I'm impressed with the overall setup on all of his emulators. Hope it works out for ya man cause they are definitely my new favorites. I've also been messing around with the touch profiles in the Sixaxis Controller app, and if you have a ps3 controller hooked up you have to try Modern Combat 3 with it. I think it's a great game and nothing beats playing it with a ps3 controller because it's just like playing on a console! Let me know if ya need help setting up the touch profiles cause I can send ya the one I made. I've got all of the controls set up just like it's a ps3 first person shooter!

I think the former Apps like ROM Gripper (or was it ROM Grabber?) have gone away due to copyright and legal reasons. You can search for Emulator ROMs pretty easily though, I found one with one search.

That's pretty sweet. I may have to pick up a PS3 controller. Is there anything like this for the Wiimote (or Wiimote + Classic Controller)?

You can use a wiimote with most emulators using the wiimote app. I'm not sure how far they've come with the wiimote app though because I haven't used it for games in awhile. I have a windshield mount for my phone in my car so it's basically my car stereo, and I actually prefer using the wiimote as a remote because it's a lot easier to use when your driving. Other than that though I just use my dualshock 3 as my controller for my games because it works great most games and emulators.

Does it have to be an 'official' PS3 controller or any ps3-compatible controller works?

From what I've read it has to be a sixaxis or a dualshock 3 but I'm not 100% sure. I've never tried anything other than my dualshock 3 so I don't know if an aftermarket one will work or not. I hit up craigslist and found an official one for pretty cheap.

You need to get the app called Sixaxis Controller by Dancing Pixel Studios on the Market first. Then you have to follow their instructions to pair the controller to the touchpad. It's pretty easy and you only have to do it once, but you need the Sixaxis Pairing Tool for your pc. Plug the controller into your pc with it's usb cable and then run the pairing tool on your pc. On your Touchpad the Sixaxis Controller app will show you the Bluetooth address of your Touchpad at the bottom. Enter that address into the pairing tool on your pc so the controller knows what bluetooth address to pair with. Then hit start in the Sixaxis Controller app and it will connect to your ps3 controller and the light on the controller should change to number 1. From then on anytime you want to connect it to your Touchpad press the ps button on your controller then just open Sixaxis and hit start and it'll connect. If you want to use it with your ps3 again you just need to plug it in with the usb cable to the ps3 and it will re-sync to it. Hope this helps

alittle of top but i'm trying to run mc3 and i get stuck on the license screen it just stays on checking license over and over, anyone know how what to do to work around this?
You have to make sure you're connected to wifi whenever you start the game. If you are and it still does that I'd say remove the downloaded data then reinstall it and see if it works

I've done some research, and I realize you are not able to connect a SGS2 with a Wii remote. The posts I've seen are old, so I was wondering if there is any roms out there that do work. Thanks
From what I understand it has to do with SAMSUNG's bluetooth hardware that is incompatible. But PS3 controllers do work. There's an app called sixaxis that connects with the PS3 controller.

Do you need to connect PS3 remote with a cable to extract drivers??? My phone or tab can't find it via bluetooth
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
There's a windows app that will set the bluetooth address to what the phone app is looking for. You need to hook the controller up to the computer to manually set the address and then it will connect via bluetooth to the phone.
Also when you go to use it on the PS3 again. Either have the original address written down or connect the controller to the PS3 using the usb cable to reset it back to the PS3 address.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid it works on my GNex and it also won't discover the Wii remote using the regular Bluetooth method.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
So then how do you discover the wiitomes?
...
Press the red button that is in where the battery goes...
Or pressing 1+2
Both work or may not work in different cases. Try both ways.
EDIT: Oh btw, depending on which ROM (If you got a stock based ROM like SHO or Unnamed it will not work)
MIUI for example will work.
I saw this and was just curious as to why you would want to do this?
To play gameboy, nes, n64 games.

When I was asking how to discover Wiimotes, I was referring to this post. Haha i know pressing 1 and 2 sync the wiimote
If you have ps3 controller at your disposal, I would recommend it over Wiimote. It's so much better when it comes to gaming experience

Wiimote won't work due to Samsung's proprietary Bluetooth stack. A rom based on asop will normally work fine though (like miui) because it uses Google's stack. You can't swap them on the stock rom due to its tight integration though.

I have the Viper ROM installed and was wondering if it's possible to use the PS3 controller wirelessly on it?
I'm curious as well. Or if anyone has gotten a ps3 controller to work on any ROM for that matter.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I tried the Six Axis Compatibility tool and it seems it's not working. Is this a problem with the bluetooth version on the phone or a problem with the ViperROM? I see another program called Bluez IME that will let you use other bluetooth controllers. Will those work or will they have problems too?
It has to do with the Bluetooth stack HTC is using. I don't think anyone bas gotten it to worj yet.

Hey,
I like to connect my nexus 5 to the TV. Does anybody know a keyboard that supports easy inputs with the thumbsticks of a controller or dpad? I thought of something like the spider keyboard from google play. Unfortunately this doesn't work.
