Hi I own htc tp2 and htc wizard is it possible to use the htc wizard as a remote keyboard to the htc tp2 over Bluetooth or wi fi connection while the htc tp2 is connected to the tv ?
I really think it will be cool
Thanks for xda-developers : )
You might want to try this. I've never used it, but it sounds like what you want.
Strike 1!!! It work very good almost perfect, i can't get the Touch screen support to work but the physical keyboard and d-pad is working great thank you very much dave : )
This is for those who are having problems connecting Desire with a Bluetooth Keyboard, in my case a Chinese mini Bluetooth keyboard (model PA-BK03- $ 27.00).
Things you need:
1) Rooted Desire (in my case OpenDesire 1.3b)
2) 3 files (hidd, hcitool and hciconfig) from code google
3) Recovery console (unrevoked for example)
4) And a Bluetooth keyboard…
The basic principle is to copy these 3 files to /system/xbin and set the permissions to 755, and than, after you enable Bluetooth on the phone and on the device, run the follow command:
#hcitool scan
Scanning ...
DC:2C:26:B3:C6:46 Bluetooth Mini Keyboard
Than
# hidd --connect DC:2C:26:B3:C6:46 (use your own MAC Address)
After it, you mini keyboard will stop blinking the blue led….TADA….is done!
I just cook the blu_sign.zip that contains the 3 files…you can use your recovery console apply it. And I recommend to use gscript lite to write the “hidd --connect” command and shortcut it in your home screen.

And please I’m not a developer just curious and I hope that some noble developer make an fancy apk better than this.
Brasil na final da copa…

Would it be possible to pair a BT mouse this way, too?
Hi that's very interesting, will this method help with connecting other bluetooth devices? ps3 controller perhaps... or the wii one which apparently wont work with htc sense..
hup Holland hup
The ps3 controller isn't a hid device, but afaik a wii nunchuck is.
They did get ps3 controllers working on PC though , so it might be possible.
That keyboard looks nice btw. If it had one of them weird nipple things that old laptops used as a mouse I'd deffinately invest in one.
S60mike, I just connect my mighty mouse from apple and guess what...its working. Amazing for some games

When i try to pair my apple magic mouse it shows:
Can't create HID control channel: Connection refused
Where can/must I enter 0000 as pairing-code? Isn't this required? Now I try my Apple BT Keyboard
When I enter hidd command android popup to enter mighty mouse code. Try first at android bluetooth setting.

It worked. After a lot of trys and typing the damn Mac-Code etc. into the terminal on the phone ^^ I've got the english keys on a german keyboard while typing - but thats not so bad ......
Great Work !
Thanks
According to the keyboard on dealextreme, it supports android apparently.... I would have said it was out of the box support
Tried a couple times with my foldable keyboard from Palm,, it keeps telling me that "stderr: Device is not available: No such device"

Got a Nexus One here.
There is a major internal difference between the two and three battery keyboards, with many saying the three battery keyboard works better.
Well that's good news for me as I have the 3 battery! But not had any luck yet. Tried on a rooted rom but got device not found on hciconfig. So running stock again for now.
Does anyone know if Froyo will make it any easier and is it impossible to run hidd un-rooted?
How do i connect a bluetooth keyboard to the htc desire?
Is there an app that i need to install?
Please help.
App's here
Search for my app in Google Market. Just posted it today ;-)

will this work on an HTC Desire with Sense? Or do we need to root? All the correspondence so far suggests Sense and Bluetooth keyboards incompatible

i thought this too - similar to the wii remote doesn't work with sense phones
Yet another good reason to root!
I need the IME for Japanese language on my HTC desire. I have used various apps, like simeji, but have found them insufficient for my needs.
AFAIK there is a good IME in the Samsung Galaxy S 2. Is it possible to somehow rip it from that and use it on the Desire HD? Please help me, it is the only thing I don't like about my DHD!
Have you tried iwnn?

Hi to all,
annoyed of searching and not finding any solution to have a german keylayout on my German Apple Wireless Keyboard connected to the Zoom, i wrote my own German (QWERTZ) .kl and .kcm files. Now for all of those, who wants a german Keyboardlayout on the Xoom with their german Apple Keyboard, here are the files to install on your rooted device.
Please let me know, if it works for you.
Greetings from Germany
no feedback at all :-( ?
Well, what have you expected?
I guess most Apple keyboard owners own no xoom, most Xoom owners use the Moto one.
Never the less: appreciate your work and please keep it up!

Hope you still use and update this mod allready wrote to your thread on handy-faq.de today i have my xoom since two weeks and my apple wireless keyboard and apple wirless magic mouse since one week and realy love your work. I wish the would be F1 (menu should be F3) for home, and F2 for last used apps (with that and Tiamat 2.2.2 you could make screenshots when you longpress F2)
