[REQ] MIDI Controller - Android Software Development

Hi!
Was looking for some good Midi controller app and found only ONE! it's Finger Play app, but it's quite not good...
There is one not finished app, with support for only small screens.. but i think it have much more potential, it is called MIDI Pad.
Soooo
Maybe there is someone who can start development of that kind of app.
From my side I will help with graphics and design, testings and with any kind of help I can provide.
For development start we can take MIDI Pad's source, as it's open and it's developer will be glad if someone continue it.
Midi pad is working through bluetooth, but it is too slow... I think we need wifi here!
source can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/androidmidipad/
Looking forward to you guys!

Why not write the dev?

It does look pretty interesting. I'd be worried about latency with a wireless controller? Have you ever used a controller over wireless?

HDMI IN?????

Is there any way to use the Epic as a mini monitor? I'm assuming not but I figured I'd ask anyways. Would it be possible at all?
That's actually a very good idea but I don't think its possible.
epic
No HDMI in for the simple reason that there is no hardware support.

Doesn't really make any sense since our resolution is so low the HDMI input video would look horrible. Also, considering we can't even get the standard video out to work I seriously doubt the reverse is going to work.
Not wired, but there's this app: http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=idisplay&platform=android
Theres another that I can't find right now (magic something I think). Both are based on VNC mirror display drivers, do you need a pc, a server app for the pc and the client software for your andoid.
Good luck.

Wiimote and SGS2

Hi all,
First , i'm french , so my english is maybe bad at moment...
So , i see that with the cyanogen mod , we can use wiimotecontroller to pair Wiimote with SGS2. but with touchwizz it's impossible (i'm with revolution rom..)
Someone try to take "bluetooth" files of cyano (with permissions of course) to try it on touchwizz ? or all the system block it ? thanks ..
Blue.
I wish this would happen too, but I don't think it will anytime soon.
And why would someone want to use wiimote with am android device. Could you give practical examples? I have a wii but I dont know what to do with the remote on my android

Emulators. They play amazingly on the SGS2!
Can you imagine having everything on your phone, your favourite classic games, and you are just bored waiting around for a flight for example? Can just take out the SGS2 and Wiimote to kill some time, perfect.
Or if you have an MHL cable, hook it up for TV, and play. Better than packing up a whole console to take around with you (for example to a friends place) than having everything almost perfectly playable on your SGS2.
jpxdude +10 ! i play to Secret of mana (a old game i have on Snes) and with a wiimote , i can have a better gaming experience
Once one of the AOSP roms is ready you'll be able to link up ps3 or wiimotes to your hearts content. Not long now... Could always load the tw launcher in if you really miss it

The issue isn't Touchwiz but the bluetooth stack which Samsung (and HTC) use doesn't support the method of pairing to the Wiimotes, where as the Cyanogen which is based on AOSP does.
The only option would be to flash an AOSP based rom.
This will be genial... Im waiting a stable pt br rom with this function

Yeah, instead of the Sixaxis use the Wiimote. But I doubt that, because of the different Bluetooth protocol?

Arf , i don't really like cyanogen or any AOSP rom .. i want to keep my Revolution roms :'( , there is no solution to changes files in systems ?
cyanogenmod doesn't have bluetooth support of any kind yet, so we'll just have to wait.

How did you do it?
Why not just use said emulators on a PC that has a Bluetooth card installed? It would make more sense. I'd rather not use a controller on a device that I need to play close to my face to read the text designed to be viewed on a much, much larger display.

Anyone knows if the leaked ICS are still using Samsung's BT Stack or if they rolled back to the original one?

Lol wow indeed, I never said "just for emulators" but nevertheless, if we can have a better experience with the phone (specially for gaming) then why not?
Disadvantage of using an AOSP ROM is no TV-out with MHL support.
FYI, SixAxis Controller works on stock based ROMs. I am on stock XXKI3, and it works... so you can use this in conjunction with MHL out to use ps3 controller (tested; only works with original Sony ps3 controller - knock-off I tried does NOT work) and pipe video out to TV using MHL.
@ctomgee
did u try it out on sgs2?
i heard that sixaxis does not work on sgs2

[Q] How to create HDMI ONLY rom for broken vega?

As i have smashed my vega's glass does anyone have any ideas or advive on how to create a rom with HDMI as the default/main/only display? as id like to use it as a smart tv/media box! I am a novice with rom making but understand the therory and im willing to learn!
Currently trying to find where and how androids hardware dispay settings are/work!
could it be as easy as unplugging the lcd and restart with hdmi pluged in?
Hi,
you don't have to create your own ROM for that.
The easiest way to achieve what you want is to buy the official dock station (£30 I guess), plug the HDMI on your TV and stick a wireless USB Mouse-Keyboard combo on the back of the dock (I have used before with my Dell branded, but I'm sure should work with anything). Done!
Vegacomb still does not fully performs with the HDMI so I suggest you to use Corvus5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043506 which is the snappiest and most bug-free ROM around I've seen around.
Sit back on the couch, use the mouse as if it was your finger on the screen and the keyboard is just a nice touch for when typing e-mails or searching on you tube.
---
if you don't fancy buying the dock station, there're some ways to make the Vega USB port be a host USB, so u can stick the mouse direct on it, but then you can read to find it out how.
thaks for the reply! i was thinking of going back to corvus5 or maybe cm7 because as you say they have usb host also the dock for the vega is hard to find. The thing id like to do is have the resolution increased to 1280x800 like the xoom or 1280x720+? instead of 1024x600 in a 720 or 1080 box?
what im aming to do is turn my broken vega into a smart android tv box like...

I saw those links and find them very tempting.
But the fact is that those are very special versions of android with some extra dedicated hardware for video decoding. Tegra2 is for sure a massive powerhouse, but, as a control systems (automation) engineer and Android App (not ROM) developer, I don't think there would be a way to "just trick it out" some existing Vega ROM to do the job. You would really need to built your own version of Android creating some own specific drivers. But that's kinda of my guess based on my knowledge of hardware, I hope I'm wrong cause I would definitely want to take a look in such ROM.

i know those have special hardware for video decoding but the vega will play 720 or even 1080 in the right codec etc!! im not to worried as i use my ps3 for hd content. im realy looking for internet gmail gtalk youtube iplayer etc and some games on my tv for my wife and children (they love angry birds!)
As for drivers the vega must have some kind of hdmi driver already?
I want to dissable the lcd and have hdmi as default display insted of mirrord?
Does android use edid info to set resolution etc can this be taken from the tv?id like to up the ui resolution to make it less pixilated, as youtube and media will run at upto 1080 over hdmi can the ui and apps be forced to?
sorry to ramble , im learning lots!!

Looks the same as the Vega dock, I just walked into PC world and grabbed one for £25(reduced from £30) shame you don't get a extra power block with it.
Mods please move this question to the general section. Thanks.
seems my post got hijacked i dont care about docks its still a mirrord ouput! My real question is can someone please try to point my in the right direction...
I want to dissable the lcd/digitizer use a mouse and have hdmi as default display running full UI at 1280x720 or higher, i beleve that i have to edit the kernel driver/module? im shure this is possable as it can be done on the tegra 250 dev kits?
not rely fussed what android version, ive gone back to corvus5 as 2.2 is nvidia supported drivers thought it should be best approach?
Any links to help me get started with the vega kernel would be very much appreciated!

from my understand of hardware, YES, that would be your best approach, I wish I could help.
and if you're really up to the challenge I wish you the best of luck and make sure to keep the forum informed, as I would be definitely wanting to give it a try.

Oh, it works - perfectly.
Sure, it says "ViewSonic" on the front, but that's no different to plugging in speakers that say "Sony" to me, so no worries.
Vegacomb - hostmode works like a charm. USB keyboard and mouse are brill

Got an android phone? Control your tablet with it :) Link!

You might wanna have some fun with this.
It might not work with all set ups, but you can give it ago.
I found that the keyboard only worked for me via the blue tooth.
Post your results.

No what I mean is that if I want to control my tablet from my phone or vice versa, I can't see the screen of the device I control.

Sweet, I have an Xperia Play, if I can use it as a controller on my tablet, that would be awesome! Will have to try later!
works fine with nexus 7 and Samsung galaxy s3
I downloaded it so I could use my tablet to control my s3 which is docked into a hdmi cradle I'm looking for something that duplicates my phones screen on my tablet but this is working fine. even the keyboard works perfect can't actually click on a video tho after searching YouTube but I'm sure in future updates the option will be there not bad for a free app tho!

Connect your Moga in Mode B. Once connected, start an app/game that you want to create a profile for. Once in the game, long press the Start button and overlay will appear on screen. Part of the overlay will be a toolbar with various icons on. Drag the function you want to assign to the screen and place it where you want (LS = left stick for example). Once you have placed something on screen, long pressing it will bring up a menu that allows you move the item or select other functions. For the analogue sticks you can use buttons Y and A to increase or decrease the size of the stick which will change the way it responds in game. Trial and error

Cool
I was hoping to use the mapper with Modern Combat 3 but for some reason the Kit Kat update seems to have killed that particular game - it crashes after checking the licence which is really annoying...
I'm having a weird issue where I have to move the analogue stick up and down for left and right when a game map is in use. Is there a setting somewhere which will correct this?
UPDATE:
Figured out it's just on Real Racing 3 (I haven't got many games installed yet) and I presume it's down to the gyroscope problem which TN7 owners seem to have.
Hopefully RR3 will get a fix for that. Quite annoying though, as using the analogue stick on mapping instead doesn't seem to fully turn the virtual steering wheel so I can't get round corners, ha!

In case anyone is still interested, RR3 implemented controller support into the game. My Moga Pro works well.
The only issue is after the last OTA update from nvidia, the game is pretty much unplayable. All audio is horrifically choppy and the game feels a bit laggy too.
To say I'm really cheesed off is an understatement. I do love that game
According to me, EA does not love a Taiwanese Tegra, Nvidia
