Droidmote on Nvidia Shield wont work - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA,
can anyone help me or have a tutorial for Droidmote. It will not work for the Games with Touch Profiles. Although I have seen videos, but it just does not work as it should.
Thanks for Replys

I have not used Droidmote, but I believe you need to root your Shield TV first in order for all the functions to work.
Is it rooted?

I have Root Access, but the Controller works very bad. need perhaps a moga controller?

You need to be running both the Droidmote server and client. Launch the server, then launch the client, pick your profile, and connect to the server.

Having an issue where even when I have a profile assigned the X button still activates the voice search. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Should add I've got the client and server on my shield TV trying to use the shield controller to play FIFA. Have made a profile and the left d pad works but the buttons don't.

Tincore Keymapper + Root

This is pretty cool, thought I'd start a list of games that work great with Tincore Keymapper. It seems you have to have root to get it to work.
So far I've got these games mapped and work great:
Wild Blood
Samurai II: Vengeance THD
GT Racing 2
Great app, adds lots more games to play on the MOJO :good:

I don't see why rooting is required
maybe @tincore knows?
Root is required, because otherwise you can't map touch input buttons to hardware gamepad buttons.
Since not all developers take care of external gamepad support, sometimes, it is necessary to remap touch activity to a hardware key.

Yea, definitely have to root to get the app to work. App is actually very easy to use to create different profiles for different apps. Pretty much any game that has on screen controls can be mapped - as long as you can get through the menus in mouse mode.

Rooting is needed to simulate touches and more. Those are Android limitations.
Another option would be a custom modified firmware.

Awesome. Take into consideration that there is a central server where profiles can be uploaded and downloaded automatically from the app.

Cool, I wasn't aware of the server containing profiles! Ill definitely be checking that out + upload mine!
I feel idiotic, but I cannot for the life of me get Tincore to work. I've set the buttons to activate the program, but they don't work. It tells me "No device detected" and I have no clue how to get the controller detected.
Suggestions?

Yep.
I've been able to get my PS3 controller to pair through Sixaxis which was pretty cool. I'd forgotten how light the PS3 control is after using the CTRLR for so long.
Anyhow, I followed a few of the videos on YouTube to get myself started. I cannot get the CTRLR to show up as a detected device. Strangely, I was able to set my button combination to get tincore running within the app (so the button presses registered then), but the combination doesn't bring up tincore when I'm in a game. I really like how your app works (from the videos), so I'd appreciate any info or insight on getting it up on the MOJO!
Seriously, though, your app looks pretty awesome. Once I get it working, I'll throw down some cash and buy it.

CTRLR with the USB dongle? I've tested it last night and it was working fine. I plan to check how a few the BT gamepads are working on the MOJO asap.
Click on device discovery just in case.

I haven't had any issues really with tincore. Whenever I started the app, the CTRLR was already loaded in the column - as well as any other devices such as a mouse. All I had to do was put the controller in gamesmart mode to get my buttons out there on screen, then switch back to mouse mode and place each button/control where I wanted them and then went to the column and chose how I wanted the button presses to react. Although, I could never get the app to work within a game. I didn't know how to do that. I would always just load the game, then go back to the homescreen and then back to tincore to make my adjustments.

In the case of devices without touchscreen you can use a key sequence to invoke the mapper on top of the app. Default sequence is Vol- Vol+ Vol- and it should work from the CTRLR.

gamepad mapperon 4.3?

I am just wondering if anyone has tried the gamepad mapper on 4.3? That is about the only thing that I really like about 4.4, so I was just wondering if anyone has installed it on 4.3 to see if it would work? I extracted the apk from my tablet, but don't want to go through the work of downgrading to find out it doesn't work. Hoping someone could give it a try if they are on 4.3.
Thanks
Brew
I could give it a try. Need to get a controller to find out first. But I'll install it to see if it runs at all.
EDIT: your link failed to download from the tablet. Could be the brackets blocking it.
Edit 2: Downloaded via laptop and sideloaded on the tablet. There's no change from the 4.3 game mapper that I can see. Must be a 4.4 thing. I installed it twice to double check.

Ok, dumb question. I though the gamepad mapper was added in 4.4, and wasn't in 4.3? I thought that was one of the new things they added with the sd card killing update? I really appreciate the time you spent for me too.
Brew
There's more to it than just gamepad mapper apk I think. Don't forget under 4.4 there are new menu options under 'controller' in settings which allows you to choose whether or not to allow the gamepad mapper to be activated. Someone with more kmowledge than me will be able to explain what else you would need in order to get it working under 4.3. It's a great idea though
For what it's worth I'd be happy to roll right the way back to 4.2 (.2) if I could still have the full screen toggle. At least under 4.2 you could safely unmount an external hard drive without it also unmounting the microsd card (which was broken under 4.3, then fixed on 4.4.2, but rendered fairly useless because you don't have RW privileges under 4.4.2 without root and a hack). Sigh... I quite liked the transparent notification bar under 4.4.2 as well, but I want full SD RW... Sorry, i digress.

Not a dumb question, and you're right, the gamepad mapper was not present in 4.3.

Thanks, it is all way over my head too, I was hoping it was as simple as the apk. My tablet worked very well on 4.3, and has a ton of random weird things going on with 4.4 so I was just hoping I guess. Maybe someone smarter than us can give us some help or push us in the right direction. I bought the moga pro power controller and it works great with the tablet and mapper on 4.4, but I would like to go back to 4.3 to solve a few issues.

Yep, I rolled back to 4.3 and I don't regret it. I'm thinking about going back to 4.2.2 because I use an external hard drive a lot and the unmounting problem with 4.3 is very annoying. Also, under 4.2.2 I could 'zoom' in on a film whilst connected to a TV via HDMI to get rid of the black bars on the left and right of the TV screen. The downside is I would miss the full screen option of 4.3. Decisions decisions....
I hear you. I rolled back to 4.3 after that train wreck of an update broke things in a way I just couldn't stand it. Like the above poster said, I'm not regretting the rollback. By the same token, it would have been nice if we had gotten prior warning about the sdcard fiasco so we could refuse to update and not get so worked up about losing our warranty.
Something tells me that a lib file might be missing that would unlock the game mapper options that 4.4 has in 4.3. Then again, it could be an api issue.

Madcatz Mojo with Mele Pro F10

For those of you that want to use XBMC in the living room without having to turn on the Madcatz C.T.R.L.R controller or using an Android/IOS xbmc remote application then here is a simple solution. Out of the box the device works amazing.
http://www.amazon.com/Mele-F10-PRO-...8&qid=1395186879&sr=8-1&keywords=mele+pro+f10
Im going to be modifying the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl file to achieve some custom keys that i want. Feel free to customize your remote I've even uploaded the original generic.kl file in case you forget to back up yours.
to get the keycodes for the buttons install Keytest.apk on the mojo and write the keycodes down.

I can't use the Left mouse button on the MeLE F10 PRO, like with my MeLE M9, to go back one page if i click on it.
Thanks.

I thought xbmc is down and possibly looking like it's gone forever? At least after telling people in a forum it is having new servers then not landing them in the 6 week period stated at the same address navixtreme i'd say it's looking more and more like it's been shut down?
Unless it miraculously reappeared in more recent days or the last few days any way?

[Q] Help with duplicate or cast phone screen to tv.

Hi guys
If can you give me some apps that can cast the screen of the phone to the TV via WiFi. I was looked for one but requires to access to a setting called "duplicate screen" but it is not on the settings of the phone (stock rooted 5.0).
Thanks very much.

Now we just need dex.
And a spare monitor.
And a spare keyboard.
And a spare mouse.

The note 9 doesn't need a physical dex dock, just a type c to hdmi cable. I have one plugged into my TV and a keyboard that connects to 4 devices over bluetooth. Phone screen acts as a mouse.
im really hoping i can get this to run on my s9 plus. They have released the img file already, i just need to get ahold of the apk for the dex/linux app.
I registered but the registration page talks about a free trial version of linux for dex, but what does that mean? that after will be paid?

Just tried it,to see if I could replicate your issue:
No problems here,got an immediate confirmation email,stating a link for the app will be sent soon (11/12/18 or thereabouts,I'm guessing,per the signup page).
If you're on mobile,perhaps try on desktop PC with any ad blockers & such turned off (Ghostery/AdBlockPlus/etc...).
Another thought came to mind,check to make sure when you enter your gmail address,leave off the @ gmail.com,as it's already there.
