Using joysticks to emulate on screen controls? - Xperia Play General

I'm sure this has been been asked before but is it possible? I have the nvidia shield and you can set the physical joypad controls to emulate the touch screen in certain emulators/games that can't use controllers. Hope I worded this question right. Thanks.

I think that you have to touch the screen while locked for the controls to come up

G-sensor rotation question:

Has any of you programmers considered disabling landscape mode when sliding out the keyboard? Maybe that is the problem, we (TP users) don't need that if the programs will work by disabling that.
Maby its that tiny little code inserted by HTC that prevents those programs working on the Touch Pro... maybe....
This is actually easily programmable.

I just said that so you know this can be made. Now it's up to the developper if he wants to include that feature or not. If you use GController and want its rotation feature to work like you described, post your suggestion in the GController thread and I will for sure have a look.

Use X1's Optical Pad as On Screen Mouse!!

Hi,
i found this in another thread, i was just wondering whether any devlopers would be able to use this file and adapt it to work with the x1? I would do it myself but im useless at all this stuff... (and plus i dont know how.)
The file can be found through this link-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440141&highlight=screen+sensitivity&page=2
What good would it do you to have a mouse pointer on the X1 screen? If the OS isn't optimized for it, there'll be no real benefit.
I used the demo of True Connect for a while which lets you move your PC mouse off of the screen onto the X1 screen. Very slick, but ultimately just a novelty because it didn't add any useful functionality to the X1. If they added drag and drop they would be on to something.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, I think the only reason why this hasn't been done already is because on the driver side the optical pad output is digital, eg: just 4 directions, and not coordinate output, like say a mouse.
samsung omnia has this option, (change from 4 way scrolling to a mouse).
Would be great to have this on the Xperia
wow my first post xD
@korval
i have to correct you....
a standard PC mouse with an oldschool trackball has also only 2 axis to get 4 directions but you can move the pointet over the screen like you want....
jo do not need more than this two axis but the only thing is to detect both of them simultaniously......
and i Love the pointer on Omnia but i dint like the Omnia itselve...... its only my second "emergency" device
ah and sry für bad english im a german one xD
On Screen Mouse
I'd be keen for this as well - it would be a nice cool UI feature.
What is really annoying (and spose off topic), the use of the optical pad doesn't register as a button/screen press, so the password lock screen comes up while you are using the optical pad to scroll!
(i was forced to set a longer timeout.. ah well, can't have everything secure..)

Yip, thats what I meant! I think you explained it a bit better than I did.
And now i will quote here what ive also written in another thread for this:
I will donate 50€ for the one who do this that its working like on my Omnia.....
this is a promise!!!!!!
would anyone use a laptop touchpad only like arrow keys instead of a mouse pointer??? NO!!!!
Greetz
i dont get it.
why not use the touch screen?
what reasons would u need this for?
the reason is that i want to use my device some times (if im on the walk) with only one handy.... also to use the browser......
the TF3D and spb etc is good to handle in one hand but not the browser like obera and opera mini..... also the small checkboxex in some programs are too small.....
on omnia i never have to use the stylus and i want to have this feature on my X1 because it MUST be possible!!!!!!

yeah but it is too slowwwww
I dont understand some people here. Why are certain users against an additional input method? Isnt it a fact that everything that broadens the spectrum of available possibilities is generally a good thing? Have we fallen under Apple philosophy that condemns options that were not intended by the developer of the phone?
For me its clear that I would highly appreciate any additional way to control my device, especially a mouse pointer since this could replace the stylus when on the move. Even the small checkboxes would not force me to pull out the stylus anymore. How can anybody not support this? I dont get it. Isnt WM about freedom of choice?
I dont think anyone is against it, its just any developers who have read this dont think its important enough at the moment to spend time on, especially if they have other ongoing projects. But feel free to develop it yourself, no one will criticise you for making it, and if you do make it I am sure plenty of people will use it. No one here is Steve Jobs. lol.

Screen Sharing for Honeycomb

Hello,
Does anyone no of any way to do screensharing on a device that has honeycomb?
thanks
Jason
what exactly do you mean by screen sharing? Do you mean having two or more apps on the screen at once? If so, then no, that is not currently possible.
No, I mean I have someone that has problems with their device and I want to troubleshoot from a distance through some remote access program.
They exist for PC/MAC. Trying to find solution for Android
oh, I see. that would be nice.. haven't heard of anything like this yet though
You mean remote desktop connection? I know you can sideload TeamViewer which allows you to control Mac OSX or Windows 7 computer from your Android device, don't know if its tablet optimized yet or not.
See if WebKey works on honeycomb. I don't have a Tab yet, but use it all the time for demoing apps/giving presentations from my android.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I thought someone was deving a VNC for Android. The current beta has a lot of problems and doesn't work really well..but I think it'll get there eventually.
Until then there's no easy way to remote to a Android "desktop" yet.

if you want to view someone else's screen, i'd definitely recommend the join.me app.

Ouya Controller on Mac/PC

Since if you google Ouya you get so much trash about will it make its way or not, I couldn't find detailed info about this. Sorry if I missed something. (The intro video makes you feel really welcome).
Pairing the Controller is absolutely no deal and as far as I know on PC it works. On Mac, the keys are mapped really strange and I couldn't even figure out to wich buttons. D-Pad works perfectly. Most other buttons just move the mouse to the top left. My general mapping software didnt work with it, so I'm wondering if anyone had the same idea.
As well as that I would like to get my own software to run with it, so it would be super to know which buttons are wich or so. (Mapping propperly alone would be great too).
Thanks for any comment here.

I was trying USB-Overdrive, and now ControllerMate.
For the latter I managed it to be playable, but I can't figure out how to turn of the "default" behaviour of everything. Because the curser still jumps to the top left of the screen.. On many games no problem, but sometimes...
