Not freeware, but much anticipated. Installed the demo today and got it to work with my laptop. But on the PS3 it just keeps searching and doesn't pair.
Im trying the demo now and its ipossible to get it to pair with my HP Laptop.
This is the third aplication im trying to get it to work as a remote, im giving up soon.

I know I am not the first one to think of this but I was wondering if anyone is aware of development of a remote control/keyboard app for use with the PS3 and 360 (wii gets no love)? I would love to have the functionality of using my phone for both devices at home.
I was playing around with a remote play option on the PS3 and app called BD remote but it doesnt seem to pair the two. I got the idea after downloading pocket blu app and I was able control Inglorious Basterds via wifi. That in of itself was cool but I craved more control.
I dont write code so Im of no help here. I could try but I dont think that will be fruitful.

This should probably be in Q&A or Apps section, so try posting there next time.
As for your question, it would be virtually impossible on the 360. The 360 doesn't use bluetooth or wifi, and it would be virtually impossible to have a server application running on it anyway. Maybe if you hacked your 360, added wifi and did a lot of jerryrigging, you'd get it to work. PS3 uses both bluetooth and wifi, but I don't know if its possible to port applications to it without hacking. Again, I think the real challenge is to run some sort of server on the device. The app for your phone is easy, the server side would be really tricky. Don't have a PS3, so I don't know much about it, but 360 is definitely out.
Maybe this will give you a hint. I've successfully tried it in Windows.

Not the same as what you're looking for specifically, but Gmote and Remote Droid will do that.
Gmote is awesome. I love how it turns your phone into a laptop like trackpad for your PC.
So i recently bought a ps3 sixaxis controller from amazon ( apparently not sony oem, but it cost me like 40 bucks) and ive been trying to make it work with my GS2 for the past week with no luck... Ive downloaded the sixaxis program for my phone and the pairing tool for my PC .. Ive already made sure that the Bluetooth address matches the one from my phone with the pairing tool, and so then i start the sixaxis program on my phone, I click start (and power on my controller, all the lights are flashing) it says its trying to start the first connection but bluetooth connection failed .. so its attempting a second connection, and finally it says client connected :1, my controller though is still flashing all the lights and then it eventually stops and my screen reads client disconnected . What am i doing wrong ? ive tried the deodexed rom and seamster rom , nothing seems to pair it up, anyone else have this problem? Ive checked other posts but it seems to either be working or not working for some people .
Maybe it doesn't work because it's not sony oem?

Hey team,
Ive just joined this site in the hope of getting some assistance. I have a Z1 Compact, android v5.0.2 and I'm hoping someone can help me.
Im trying to get my device to work with Ps4 Remote Play - I realise its not one of the sony supported devices (I bought it too soon sadly). I have managed to get the remote play app itself working, I can stream my ps4 fine and it works with the on screen controls. However Im looking to take advantage of the DS4 controller. I can sync the controller with my phone, and most of the buttons work fine, but the analog joysticks don't really respond. Now through my research it would seem I need an additional app called sixaxis controller because my phone isnt strictly speaking one of the official devices for remote play.
This leads me to my question... is there any other way around this to get the DS4 controller working? If not... the sixaxis app requires that I root my phone. I have not done this... never done this... am a bit cautious bacause a google search renders 100's of different ways to do this..
Could someone please talk me through an easy, safe way to back up my phone so I do not lose any apps/images/contacts etc. and then root the phone. Im not trying to achieve anything fancy, just enable remote play. Also - ideally I would like the option of unrooting too incase I decide to go back.
Any help would be so so appreciated! Im not the most tech savvy person so easy methods would be great if there is such a thing. Thanks in advance!
5.2.6.0 broke my PS4/ds4 connection to my firestick v1... I don't know how it lasted as long as it did, but it was amazing n convenient for gaming.
I know it's a old topic on pairing the PS4 remote to begin with, but I did have it working flawlessly untill a few days ago.
I've tried everything to re-pair it to no avail. it would be wonderful for someone smarter than me to perhaps find a workaround.
also does ds4 work smoothly with all current rooted fire[sticks]?
Why didn't you block updates? Lol. I'd have a rooted test device to test the waters of the update before letting it on your main system.
What is a pain.
Wish I could help. My post is as equally useless as the one above, though with a bit of compassion.
Good luck.
ive had no luck with pairing two ps4 controllers ds4 either.
i have latest rooted rom firmware 5.2.6.0 firestick gen 1.
otg working with scripts,
the ps4 controllers work if your wired to your stick. but cannot pair.
i have use the Six axis pair tool and changed the bluetooth mac address.
still no joy.
but im tempted to flash an older firmware rooted, to see if it works.
unless someone knows the issue we are facing???
Hi everyone this might be a dumb question but i really can't find the exact answer anywhere. I bought a new smart tv with android tv and chromecast built in. It uses a regular type remote however coming from a roku box with a WiFi remote, this feels like a bit of a step back. I tried searching for WiFi remotes but i only get results for apps. The kids are having a hard time keeping the remote pointed to the tv especially during games. I saw bluetooth gamepads that are supposed to work but is there a remote like the one that comes with roku. Man that roku remote really spoilt me, especially with the headphone jack for when everyone's asleep.
So i didnt set up the google search function because it just wasnt happening when i tried so i skipped it. Well i finally got it and it said remote paired and now voila it works just like the roku one does. ? I knew it was a dumb question, i just couldn't figure it out.
