Will 2.3 have better bluetooth? I ask because I would like to go back to sense but only if I can use a wiimote for my emulators.

Would love to know if anyone can get a hid keyboard to work on a newer version of sense, which I believe is the problem, not android 2.2 or 2.3.

I believe I read somewhere that the new Sense 3.0 that will be on the Evo 3D will have HID bluetooth, finally. If that's true, in theory, a wiimote controller or hid keyboard should work. I'm not 100% sure on that information, but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere in the recent past.

I've successfully linked my BT HID based keyboard with cm7.
I haven't tried the leaked rom as I don't intend to run it anyways. AFAIR, the issue was with the 2.2 stack not containing a HID profile. I can't recall if this was the case with aosp 2.2 also, or just 2.2 in general.

I would like to be able to do this:

on my Evo..
i see that rooting will be required for a keyboard, but i haven't heard much about the HID drivers including support for a mouse
HID would be very nice then we could use the wii mote on this phone. Shame HTC fawked up and screwd the bluetooth up.
I hope someone gets this working because I've been wanting to use a wii controller, like they did with the Nexus!
so no movement on this?
I figured Froyo would have added this but apparently not. The Froyo may have fixed the SPP profile though. Anyone have a SPP keyboard and Froyo want to try it with Keypro?
This is Working in CyanogenMod 6 RC1 - Ive been running it about a day and I thought I would test out this functionality

So you could technically pair a Wii remote with CM6... interesting...

I believe there is a whole thread about doing that exact thing in the Dev section - at least a bunch of posts
Aaaand I've been using my Wiimote + Classic Controller to play GBA and SNES emulators the past week and a half.
Time wasted = >9000
Could someone potentially add BlueZ (like in CM6) into a Sense ROM? I read somewhere on the forum that you couldn't, but they didn't back it up with any details. Just tried searching and got nothing relevant.
It's in the netarchy kernel, you'd just have to make an app or edit the ROM.

That's interesting. I already have netarchy's kernel and Gameboid; if I had a Wiimote then it would work, correct?
Edit: Apparently it wouldn't work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7357170&postcount=1621
Anyone have froyo on their EVO and want to try Wiimote Control?
I'd like to do it but if someone already has froyo and a wii remote..could you see if it pairs up?
Thanks!

This is the closest so far. Also visit the QandA section to have your questions answered by the fine pros here
I think someone said that bluetooth doesn't work at all... or something along those lines.
I really want the wii mote working, you know... kick stand + wii mote, you are going to look so rad!
Only thing it needs more is 3d glasses.
i think i have it working. i just got bt profiles online for it. so let me check something and we should be able to use bt for wiimote

Awesome. Keep me posted bud!
I tried using the Froyo ROM with the "Wiimote Controller" app, the Bluetooth repeatedly failed to initialize. I believe it is more a problem with the ROM than anything. Maybe it would be possible to carry over a Bluetooth profile from a Nexus One and use the 2.1 firmware? Just a guess, but I honestly have no idea. I figure something like the WiFi tendering work-around.

Thanks for testing.
I really look forward to this working. The EVO / Kickstand NES/SNES emulator and the wiimote will make a killer combination.
Using Avalaunch's Deodexed ROM (Reported 100% Bluetooth functions) the same issue keeps coming up. I don't think even a vanilla ROM would fix the issue, but I could be wrong. I really wish I had the know how to fix this problem myself.
Has anyone gotten the current Droid-X keyboard working on the FroYo 2.2 update yet?
More specifically, the new Fresh Rom 3.x.x.x, thanks!

the new froyo has a multitouch keyboard too, i don't think we need the Droid X keyboard anymore!
Well, that's your opinion but it's not the multi-touch I like, it's the layout and spacing of the keys.
I dislike the new ForYo keyboard, I want the Droid-X keyboard back. Went back to Fresh Rom 1.0.x until the current Droid-X keyboard is hacked, or FroYo 2.2 is out for the Droid-X phone.
I also prefer the droidx multitouch keybaord over HTCs. Yes I know the stock keyboard in Froyo is multitouch, but I like the droidx keybaord's layout much better.
We won't see a Froyo compatible droidx kb until Froyo gets released on the droidx.
Until then all we can do is sit back and wait.

don't get mad, lol i was just saying!!
Froyo is currently being pushed out to the Droid X...
Oh I'm not mad bro, no no sorry if I came off like that. I as well as a bunch of others still prefer the X keyboard is all.
That said its working on CM6.

Iam using the nightly and would like to switch back to the droidx - i'm using the HTC IME MOD Keyboard for now
I would like to put a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo on my Christmas wishlist that will work with all 3 devices listed in the subject line. I have searched this forum but not found a good solution. I will consider all sizes but close to full size is preferable. It does not need to fold.
Anyone have any input?
This would rock.. So I'm curious too...

I seen the HTC Sensation supports bluetooth HID. Think the Dinc will be getting HID with the coming update?

no not possible since the htc sensation runs gingerbread with sense 3.0 over it which is what has the integrated BT HID which is not what the incredible will probably get with its gingerbread sense 2.1 or original sense.
I see. I assume evo 3d is also sense 3. That's a real let down. Think we will see the feature ported in the future. I've never really figured out the problem. I've read its dependent on the kernal but the framework must also be altered. But it doesn't seem like it'd he that hard to incorporate a few drivers
For a seasoned developer I mean
