Hey everybody,
Just a quick question. Any SD builds out there that support a bluetooth HID keyboard? I tried three so far and they aren't even pairing. This is my killer app and it's a bit of a downer....
I believe cm7 had it

That's what I thought too...but it's not pairing even though the same keyboards work on my other devices. The folks following the AmeriCanAndroid ROM says it's a known issue but not much discussion has occurred that I can find.
I'll see if I can borrow some "brand-name" keyboards like the Apple Wireless or something...
Soundds good

I use a mouse on my tablet quite a bit, however ever since I got the ability to use a mouse with it, after a while the mouse will freeze and no matter what I do I can't get my tablet to see the mouse again unless I restart it, I'm using the Microsoft arc touch mouse currently, but had the same issue with the mouse I used before it. I have the latest .10 update and I'm rooted. If you need anymore info just let me know.

Strange
I have used my mouse and a full sized keyboard on my a500 for weeks now - ever since the early leaked version of 3.1
Have since upgraded to the latest official stock 3.1, use my mouse and keyboard for hours a day and have no problems with any lockups or the mouse not responding.
Wish I could be of more help.
I can never get my mouse to work on this thing...

Are you on a 3.0 based ROM or a 3.1? As far as I know - mouse only works on a 3.1 based ROM.
Need 3.1 or root + mouse app from Dev forums. I've used a Logitech wireless mouse and a Gear Head mini-usb keyboard w/ trackpad with no issues. I suspect that the mice you're having trouble with may include power-saving hardware & shut off w/o constant communcation
Well both of the mouses I use are microsoft, and its right in the middle of usage that it freezes, the while system will freeze for a second, then I'm not able to user my mouse, the cursor will sit there until I touch the screen then it disappears, and no matter what I do I can't get the system to recognize the mouse again

I've actually find out that it is my usb port that just stops communicating, so I'm restoring it as we speak

Still crashing

So, as far as I know, this should be able to control PC's too, and maybe PS3's. But, I've only tried this on other Android devices. Should control anything on CM7.X, or anything on any form of Android 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.
Prerequisites(Epic 4G specific):
Has to be on an AOSP based ROM(CM, AOKP, Paranoid, etc)
Step 1.) Enable Bluetooth on your Epic 4G and other Android device.
Step 2.) Pair the devices together
Step 3.) Now, install "BluePutDroid" on your Epic from the Play Store.
Step 4.) Open BluePutDroid, hit the Start key on the top left
Step 5.) Swipe up the "Log" bar to make sure there were no errors. If there were, try step 4 again.
Step 6.) Tap the device you want to connect to(your other Android device)
Step 7.) When it finishes loading, the screen should be green. Swipe on this to move the mouse on the other android device. Tap once to click on the other device, and hold down till the screen turns red to do things like scrolling, drag and drop, etc.
If the S/W keyboard shows up, hit menu "Toggle Soft Keyboard" to hide it. If it keeps enabling itself, install "Null Keyboard" from the Play Store and set that as your input method while using BluePutDroid. Also, the H/W keyboard works great. So you can use that to type, or navigate with the Dpad
This app works on other devices as well, but I can't go into great detail on ROM compatibility and such.
If your device has CM7/9/10 or any AOSP based ROM, this will work.
This will work on the (rooted) stock ROM of some devices, such as Nexus S(all forms), Galaxy Nexus(all forms), and Galaxy S3 (all forms)
On other's it will not work on the stock ROM, regardless of root, such as Galaxy S(entire first series), and many older HTC devices(not sure of newer ones).
According to the app developer, this is kernel related and nothing he can do; if it works, it works. if it doesn't, get.cm
Thanks! I'll look into this.

I can confirm that this works with windows and linux - I've been using this app for nearly a year, and it works well
But I didn't know it worked with other CM devices - that's an awesome find

Would this work if the other device doesn't have bluetooth?
Amazing stuff though, I wish my netbook had bluetooth that would have made it even more amazing lol.

There's apps for PCs similar to this. Like RemoteDroid and gPad. I'd prefer gPad because it has many other uses, like controlling windows media player, microsoft powerpoint, and using it as a mouse/keyboard obviously. But again, it's over WiFi. Bluetooth is beta AFAIK.

This app has been around for at least a year - the benefit of bluetooth is faster response times than over wifi. I think that's partly the result of the direct connection, and partly because the wifi methods involve a computer-side server (often using vnc, which uses some processing time to send a live stream of the screen, even if the connected client app doesn't need it, such as with a remote kb/mouse app)

I can also vouch for this on the ps3. Donate, help him out and no ads.
My wife was giving me **** "you are so techy, why can't you ruin the ps3 with your phone". So i googled and XDAed until i found this app.

I love to log on while the wife is using the computer. Move the mouse as shes trying. Priceless. I use advance touchpad. Its via wifi but very responsive, and it gives me all the keys. I have to be able to windows key + p to switch to my TV.

Update: fixed with latest update.
Anyone that has an S4 and uses the sixaxis controller app; have you managed to get touch profiles working?
Games that natively support game pads work fine, though those which require manual touch profiles do not (for me at least).

I believe you can connect the PS3 controller to the phone using a cable without needing root (could be wrong though)

Have been trying to get touch profiles to work on the S4 for quite some time until I realized it wasn't just me.
Really hope this can be fixed with a Sixaxis app update. Are there any other alternatives for now? I'm guessing not.
turns out the sixaxis app developer has being working on a fix... he sent me a new .apk to test and it works perfectly! Hopefully he'll update it to the play store soon.

Yes. I do that and it works, but only works for some games. I would like to map out the buttons on unsupported games. So far I need root for to do that because the apps available are meant for phones that do not have PS3 compatibility by default.

yes well I believe there is no other way... touch emulation I'm certain, requires root, and this cannot be done otherwise.

Hi,
I'm using my new S4 and I cant get the touch profiles to work
I tested on Dead Trigger, follow the instructions carefully, but they don't work.
Have the developers made the fix already?
Nevermind: I figured out that I was using an old version of the app
Is anyone still using their Q now that it's been completely abandoned by Google? If so, in what ways are you using it? I was hoping someone here would hack the Q, but it looks slim. Should I throw this thing away? I want to use this things amp!

After they shut down the servers for setting them up, I quit using it. If you use cm 10. 2 with amp support and cheap cast its almost like it still works, but i haven't taken the time to put it on yet. There are guides. Don't trash it though. There are still people that will have uses for them as a desktop computer.
I haven't used mine in 6 months either but I am gonna dust it off and try to load 10.2 on it next week now that the hdmi and spidf are working. Does anyone know what keyboard and mouse combos work? I thought it was a Microsoft wireless 800 combo that I was using last time with wireless adb since there's only one USB.

I just installed cm 10.1 using the method posted by user ianandamy. Works great and my input methods are a Microsoft wireless mouse with with an OTG cable connected to the Q, and I have a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. The only things I would like to see fixed are the primal LED lighting function, and a way of powering off the Q other than unplugging it.

Does it allow it to run like a chromecast and stream media from the phone ? I miss my original q

Actually found mine in the cupboard the other week, got it working thanks to a few forum posts here, running CM on it, using it as a quick XBMC streamer + android games console with a Moga BT joystick... works a treat.

If you install CM on it and then install cheapcast, you can cast to it as if it was a chromecast.
since putting CM11 on this device it feels and works amazing!!
-full screen immersive mode
-transparency
-snappy
-play store works perfectly
If anyone is in the UK and willing to part with their Q, I'd love to make you an offer!
Just send me a PM
