[Q] bluetooth pair ps3 controller - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Has anyone been successful or have any tips to wirelessly hook up ps3 controller I tried six axis compatible but wouldn't work maybe something is wrong but would love to figure it out to play games mhl to TV and blue controller thanks for the help even if there is a ROM to flash

Try aosp rom im pretty sure it'll work, but idk if mhl works, haven't flash aosp rom yet so I wouldn't know
Edit: seems like it should work stock http://androidforums.com/international-galaxy-s4-all-things-root/717747-sixaxis-controller-s4.html

I'm pretty sure the TW bluetooth stack doesn't support it. Though AOSP works fine from what I hear (not Google Play edition).

Works fine for me on the stock rom, but you do need to be rooted. I use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
The "tester" app they have doesn't work FYI but the full one does.

Thank you the actual paid one works great thanks for the info

[Q] Good rom with RCA TV out?

Hi, I've been very, very happily using Galnet's MIUI and basically using MIUI for an age but I've recently had a housemate move in with a big TV and was thinking about going back to a rom that features RCA TV out. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good rom that features TV out via 3.5 RCA cable? Or if it's even worth it? It seems Froyo was the way to go?
Thanks.
I might be wrong but I tought that all CM7-based ROMs lacked this feature.
I assumed that all Samsung-based ROMs had it.
Yeah that's what I thought too. But thought some Gingerbread ROMs had problems with TV out? Can anyone vouch for the quality. I'm new to the TV hookup thing? Thanks for your response, mate.

It would be nice if it could be implemented in CM7
However it isn't a show stopper for me, as I have an N900 which has TV out which I now use solely as a media player in the car (as it already has built in screens) I tried it on the TV once, but to be honest it wasn't brilliant
Not sure what games would be like from the Galaxy on a big TV

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.

I try my wiimote on .. it's works !!!! (the wiimote is detect and butons too ..)
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

Xperia Arc S CM9 Issues

Hello guys.
I've been using CM9 for a while now.
Well there are some issues.
So i have a 3D tv and the 3d panorama function doesnt work.
HDMI connection doesn't work
Normal panorama mode doesnt work.
When i press the home button it takes a while for the phone to wake up.
Browsers randomly crash,I'm using dolphin browser wich also crashes like the stock one.
After unlocking the phne sometimes icons on the homepage wont show for a while.
In the car when im using the gps and the battery goes down i plug it into the car charger but charges slowly and discharges while connected,this doesnt happen with the wall charger.
HDMI is the most important from the list above,are these known issues?
If so is there a work around?
I hate apollo too,any free music apps you guys use?
I'm searching for new rom too,if you know any please post them
Thanks very much
HDMI isn't ever going to work in CM9 so you should try a different ROM. JJs Hybrid for example...
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Yup!
CM9 is a ROM for users who want a stock experience, i doubt they would develop any more features
HDMI won't be in CM ROMs, unless Sony makes it opensource.
Browsers randomly crash,I'm using dolphin browser wich also crashes like the stock one.

I use boat browser which is very light compare to other and it doesn't crash a lot. I recommend using it :good:

nothing beat Walkman you should use ThilinaC port (I use stock rom so I don't which work and which not) google music and mixzing are very good and free.

Ive got one, had it for xmas from my daughter, pretty happy with it, wifi is fine not sure about the range as my router is about a metre away from tv so cant comment on that, running xbmc rc3 on it and dvds and livetv works well, struggles abit with true HD as dont think its hardware accelerated. Only gripe ive got at the moment is altho it came with flash player installed it doesnt work ive tried updating it from the adobe archive page but the settings page is just greyed out, maybe someone on here can fix it which is why i just joined

I've got one, I think it lacks good video drivers.
Bad synk audio video, stuttering video.
It has a diffrenet wif/BT chip compared to the 802 but same SOC (I think) so the custom roms from the 802 work but you get no wifi & BT.
The BT exists but does not work with my mouse, it pairs but nothing more, I think the original ROM lacks BT mouse support.
I would say a 802 with working custom ROMs is a much better deal for the moment, but this could change anytime soon or never.
I've had one for a while and didn't use it that much until I flashed finless bob's rom for the imito mx1/2, which has the same basic internals. It is much smoother and faster than before, but this could be partly attributed to the newer kernel this rom possesses.

Not to sound like an idiot because I'm just asking you to repeat what you just posted, but you can confirm that finless' ROM will flash onto the UG007 with no modifications needed?

Sixaxis Controller Support

So just went through the process of setting up my tablet with my ps3 controller and have to say its awesome. I took a few steps that aren't required to be thorough but guiding someone else to do it would be a breeze. Played a few rounds of WoT Blitz and have been much happier with the controller instead of the touch controls. Thank God for "Droid Does"

I have tried a couple of games but am put off by there being no way to map the buttons. I used to use sixaxis app to use the ps3 controller on my note 10.1 and although it was a pain in the arse to set up mapped profiles for each game, gameplay was a lot better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6I4nmYkogM
This is what i did for key mapping.
That's what I did on my note 10.1. The whole point of getting the z2 tablet was because it supports ps3 natively. If I've got to use a third party app to use the ps3 controller then I may as well stick to my note as it's a more capable tablet than the z2.

Sorry I just saw this, its up to the game developers to enable the controller in their games. I can connect fine through Sony's app, but Sixaxis allows me to play any game even if they don't want controller support.

Trouble is to use sixaxis i need to be rooted, which on my note was fine as i always had custom ROMs on all my Samsung devices but I've left my z2 and z2 tablet stock unrooted.

There's a few easy workarounds for root on z2, I didn't bother doing a full flash of anything.

No, I use my tablet to watch tv at night when I go to bed. Can't have tv on in the bedroom because of disturbing my parrot. His cage is in my bedroom and having the tv on wakes him up lol
