Ive been eyeing that mini one for a while now. I think TV out + emulators would prove to be pretty awesome. The only thing thats keeping me from getting it is that I havent seen any evidence of being able to map hardware keys (menu, home, back, search, or trackball/arrow) to it.
EDIT: Actually we are probably going to have to wait until Froyo is released before something like this will work. JI6 doesnt support Bluetooth HID's, so bluetooth keyboards and Wiimotes are no go. Though snooping around on youtube, this thing has more potential than I thought. The most in-depth video showed a guy using the special function keys (volume up, down, mute, media keys and the like) they all worked as expected, so Im hoping the same experience can be achieved on android. If not, Ill probably end up getting it for my HTPC anyways.

This guy has his attached to his HD2. Also, the Vibrant is just about the same size as the HD2, so this makes for a good size comparison. I kinda wouldnt mind having that hinge thingy, and long as I could add it to my black gel case, and have it fold back instead of over the screen.

I believe the problem before was that it didn't have the Bluetooth HID drivers. I think those are supposed to have been added in.
Well weve got perfectly working Froyo roms now. Anyone here have a Wiimote they could try pairing?
I am running bionix_obsidian v2 froyo build. I also have a wii remote and can confirm it does not work!!. it will reconise the wii and will try to pair but asks for a pin. to my understanding the wii remote does not use a typical pin to pair.

When pairing, Vibrant asks to input one time PIN from keyboard. I just typed what it said then all fine.
Awesome!

And also any way to use Menu Home Back and Search with this?

still no more movement?
I would be interested in this as well, getting a wii or PS3 controller to work with the Evo.

$50 to whoever gets this working. This is probably the reason I'll be switching to the Epic. I want my phone to be able to do unimaginable things. Looks like the EVO is happy with... just... normal things.
I've been working on a full Sega emulator (Master System/Genesis/SegaCD/32X) under Android and this is one thing I have planned on implementing with it. The Wii remote with the classic controller attachment is the perfect control set for the emulator. Granted, not everyone has one so touch controls will be implemented too.
Anyhow, what type of functionality are you looking for with the Wii remote on the phone? I am familiar with pairing it and gathering reports from it. I have some examples in C# but I'd need to port them to Android 2.1+.
I'd donate for a working Wii mote or PS3 controller compatibility!!!! Get some God of War on this biotch LMAO!!!

Samsung Vibrant Does NOT Support HID
Hey everyone,
I've been looking for Bluetooth controllers and Keyboards for the Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile). According to my research the ITON Mini Bluetooth Keyboard uses a Bluetooth driver called HID to communicate with other devices.
The Samsung Vibrant does NOT support HID. This means the ITON Mini Keyboard will NOT work with the Vibrant.
However.... there may be a work around. BlueInput (Google it) is a HID Driver sold on the Android market for $10.00. So in theory... ITON Mini Keyboard + BlueInput Driver + Vibrant = Working Solution.
However, I've read many post about the BlueImput Driver which state, it doesn't work on the Vibrant.
The only other options are to wait for the Vibrant to get Android 2.2 or a custom Cyanogen ROM which supports HID.
I flashed teamwhiskey's Onyx rom (froyo with touchwiz software removed and black theme) and my bluetooth keyboard (uses HID) works flawlessly. The rom has been completely stable so far and has a lot of other features, so if you guys are up to it you may just want to flash to froyo rather than buying unproven software.
SHOW US!

You don't have to take my word for it, check out the vibrant development forum. Team whiskey's roms, along with eugenes macnut roms, are possibly the most popular and well respected roms available for vibrant at this time.
I've checked them out and they seem legit. I'm interested in flashing Onyx but I need my swype keyboard. Do you know if it's painless to have my cake and eat it too?
I've also seen that there is a front facing camera jack for the vibrant... Very interested in that as well

Correct. I just paired a Sony Wireless Keypad for the PS3 to this Vibrant running Macnut v12! Just go to Wireless settings, Bluetooth, make device discoverable, power up the keypad by pressing the left blue button before powering the device, pair devices, and type whatever pin number the phone asks you to type on the keypad. It took me a few times to go through it but I am amazed that it works while the phone is being charged.
Now see if I can pair the keypad again after I power it down?
At least you can find this keypad almost anywhere Playstation 3 accessories are sold.

So i purchased the RII Mini BLuetooth keyboard excited to have it work with the Webtop...and alas there is an issue with the drivers. I was super excited as it has both a keyboard and a wireless touch pad and thought it would be perfect but it just aint working.
Has anyone been able to get this working? Or considered trying it?
Edit...got it paired. not drivers needed. Unlike other devices where the pairing is coded on one end, the keyboard requires that once you've inputted the desired code on you Atrix, that you put the same code in on the keyboard and press the enter button. Voila. A great product - highly recommended especially for webtop users.
goog-ed, nice looking product. glad to have a confirmed all in one solution when i need one. Thanks
quick link to goog shopping results for n e 1 wanting to check it out http://goo.gl/FEb6M
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this too... just FYI, there are two different models, one for 2.4 Ghz and one for bluetooth, and they are not well described on Amazon and the like; I'll post the appropriate links below:

You need the Bluetooth one
if it says 2.4ghz, it's the wrong one.
I've been using one of these with my HTPC setup for a while and I love it!
Can't wait!
I just ordered one, since I was seriously looking for a portable bluetooth keyboard to take around with me and use for my phone and laptop. It should be coming in today, and once I have time, I'll probably make a video on using it, just like I did one when I had the original Droid.
I'm also waiting for mine to be delivered, along with a bluetooth mouse. Should make the webtop experience much more useful.
I don't know, now I'm thinking of going this route: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011FOOI2/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
The question is, do I really use webtop that much???
For your dollar, well spent
I sent an email asking the quality, more importantly will it work with the atrix? And has anyone complained about it and the atrix combo.

I ordered one of these and it went back to Amazon immediately. Quality was bad..two keys didn't work; one not at all and one only if you pushed really hard. Too expensive for that kind of thing. I wound up buying the Moto keyboard and paired a Verbatim bt mouse....
i was thinking about getting one of these for usage with webtop and when traveling. I actually ordered one, but had to cancel the order when i realized i got the non bt by accident and haven't reordered yet. There is also another version on amazon thats a keyboard only thats a bit cheaper but might actually be better designed for tapping out lonf messaves.
For fhose that have one, how comfortable is it to type a message/email with the Rii? Im still not a fan of these touch only keyboards which are much slower and less ac urate than say the slide out keyboard on my old tilt.

I had the webtop hack working with a bluetooth keyboard (Motorola) and mouse (Verbatim brand). It worked fine. Since I upgraded to .83 firmware I didn't reinstall the hack since I mainly use the lapdock now.

Well here I am tyoing in this keyboard while my atrix is connected to my 52 inch plasma using the webtop hack. Its a fantastic combination that cost me $40 imstead of the $179 Motorola wamts. As soon as it saw bluetooth, the atrix went into big clock mode, which in itself is nice. Keyboard is small but useable but does take some getting used to. It has a tracball for a mouse, which works but isn't so easy to navigate. Also pairing isn't well explained. When atrix asks Dor code put 1111 THEN 1111 enter on the bt keyboard!
Whole combination is amazing. Browsing the web on the tv is an exoerience.
This atrix really is unique.
I was also able to go into the entertainment center and can go forward or back through a movie. And keep it picture in picture.
And answer a call.

Disappointing. So the 'Analog' sticks aren't Analog after all, hence running everywhere in Mario and the sniper issues you mention. Pretty pointless upgrade from the original then no?
Or is it that the emulators are just not programmed to understand the analog instructions?

It'll work with any HID supporting device - which at the moment is a lot more devices that you'll find with PS3 support.
True PS3 support is starting to get out there though - if you're on CM7 or MIUI you should be able to use a PS3 remote right now, since there is a software out that can do it (forget the name, search for sixaxis in the Market brings it up).

If you have a custom ROM with a normal bluetooth stack, yes. There is a sixaxis app in the market for a couple of dollars IIRC, there's also a free app to make sure it'd work before you buy it.

Yeah that's a big plus for me at the moment I guess - I'm now rooted but I'm happy with stock (and don't fancy playing with buggy nightlies again).
It just struck me as a little pricey for something that sounded very cheapo (maybe it was just the recording). My Datel retro controller only cost £17ish - although that's as limited as a PS3 controller with regards to bluetooth, sadly.
Do we have MIUI for SGS2? I might look into that...
In hindsight, I think I'm gonna try and get one of these - there's a crappy dilemma with the PS3 controller:
- Put custom ROM on, allow PS3 controller to work with 'normal' BT stack, sacrifice TV-Out via MHL/HDMI
- Stay stock, retain TV-Out but obviously unable to use PS3 controller.
Seems Clove decided not to stock them though, that sucks.
Ive ordered one from the phonejoy website. I was using CM7 before to play with my ps3/wiimote controller, but I need my TV out too. So back to a rom which allow my TV out and buying that controller.
I was going to go with an Icontrolpad, but its at least X2 more expensive than this one... Gonne give a review when ill get it, it should take +-1-2 months... that suck haha

Yep, the TV Out is an important aspect for me, and part of the reason I'll be sticking with the Phonejoy for now at least.
iControlPad is just plain worse for use with TV Out, while it is better for portability the price seems pretty unrealistic to me. Phonejoy have been developing a similar control pad to the iControlPad style, no ETA on availability etc, but its in the works.
Incidentally, the latest Jirioni Arcade update is compatible with the MAME4ALL ROM set, pretty good with this set up!

And why icontrolpad is worse for tv out? You dont need to have the cellphone right to it, so icontrolpad or phonejoy will do the same thing in the end. I know icontrolpad can have some claw to hold the cellphone, but theyre not needed to use it.
some Phonejoys are appearing on ebay UK now.. i got mine for like £41.00, cheaper that his website and shipped from the uk
I'm really quite impressed with it, love using the sticks in games like Syphon Filter. So good using TV out on a big screen, my phone is now basically a super portable multi-console. love it
Reason the iControlPad is worse is that its a worse controller configuration for emulating systems like the PSX/N64, if you're tethered to the TV then its mobility advantage is irrelevant.

Coldfustion has quite a few great videos on his YouTube channel. One of which is a how to on how to set up your note the way he has it set up. It's more of a how to for go launcher than anything. But it's very helpful. His review of the new Apple iPod was even entertaining, as he references is no note 2. LoL!

Yeah, I have my note 2 setup like his and people are blown away on how I did it. I am using most of his wallpapers so the phone's background never is the same. He is pretty artistic in the way he has everything setup.
That's awesome! Maybe I'm missing something, but from what I see, everything he's using is native, there's no special software except that floating browser software. Then obviously the hardware (adapter, mouse, keyboard).
Does anybody know what UI he's got?

No, both apple lol. I am guessing he might be using blue tooth for one and usb for the other.
Both bluetooth. I used to use em with my iPad (which I sold to buy a non contract note 2). The apple magic mouse, however, only can use its nice touch features while connected to a mac so its really just a simple, thin mouse. The logitech version of the keyboard has a nice case that it comes with, might be a good alternative.

It might be confusing in the beginning but as you watch the video, pause it and do each step as he tells you. The end result will be so worth it.
Great video, as soon as that dock releases, I plan to do something like this.
Nice video. It would be great to see how well Ubuntu (or some other favorite linux distribution) does. This would give you many other office and math applications to use. Anyone try linux on android yet? Downside would be that it has no audio. But performance should be very good.
Amazing stuff. While I'd have to wait for a dock myself, the USB-to-go cable looks like a wonderful alternative. Now, if I can find a reasonably priced portable monitor, I could truly go mobile - no need to worry about lugging around a laptop.
I wonder where he got the tripod or phone holder for the Note 2. . .
Yeah, can't wait to play all my games on the big screen, Arcane Legends, NFS MW, Shadow Gun Dead Zone !!

After seeing this I decided to give it a go. Sadly I don't have a mouse or the MHL connector yet, but it seems to work, at least for productivity. Got ubuntu 12 running with minimal effort, working on debian right now to see which I prefer. It seems pretty hard to use without a mouse, and I am lazy so instead of searching my house for a spare mouse, because I am unwilling to unplug the mouse from my desktop, I instead ordered a cheap bluetooth mouse. When I have everything I will probably make a video for myself.
