What are some things you'd like to see ported to the Epic? ...I'm talking modifications or something, because I know everyone would like a perfect working GB, or CM7, or Sense or something like that... But what Mods would you like to see ported? ...I see we have all the lockscreens now, but is there something else you would like to see ported?
Please post some ideas here, I'm back, and I'd like to get my hands dirty... So what do ya'll think?
Ability to use wireless controllers such as the wii or ps3

To use your phone as a controller or use a Wii remote for your phone? ...Because I know there's an app that allows you to use your Wii remote to play games on your phone... Never really tried it, so I don't know the validity of it, but you can always try it out if that's what you mean?
Also, what other Galaxy device allows you to use your phone as a remote for your game system? ...Is there one?
First of all, glad to see you around these parts again BThomas
I would love to see a well made RDP app that works like it's supposed to, for free. I know there are plenty, but none that work flawlessly.
Oh, and a stable N64 emulator
In terms of mods, I would absolutely love to have USB input of some sort. The possibilities from there would be endless

I know that the transformer can use wireless ps3 and 360 controllers. I think it has to do with the kernel.
I remember early in the epic development that people tried to do it with bluetooth but I don't think it went very well. Something to do with our bluetooth.
I'm getting a transformer once I see that the defects are taken care of and I'll just game on that for emulation. Plus ill have a real keyboard and usb to hook a controller up to.
Probably going with the sg2 as well since one of my reasons for the epic was emulation with the keyboard but found it to be bad unless I use the game gripper.
I've gone off track.
I think focusing on kernel tweaks is the way to go for the epic if you are looking for something to do. Again thanks for your past development.

Oh and that script you linked to, I took a look and it would be a breeze to port. Would most likely either have to be included in a ROM init.d script due to the fact that it would need to run on boot, or have an app associated with it to change the values. Most users on here wouldn't be capable of configuring it themselves.

Think of how awesome this would be...
I have a 55 inch Samsung LED television. SmartTV enabled with AllShare and all that fun stuff. So here is my question...
I want to use my Epic to control my tv. And if it's not possible in the whole sense...how about just for the keyboard function. I'm trying to avoid buying a keyboard so I figure if my phone could serve that function...not only will it be so useful but sooooooo cool!!!
Basically rather than using the remote it came with to type on the Internet or chat or Facebook....I would use my phone to type. Can AllShare be used for any of this? Or does anyone know if this is possible?
I actually think I may have just found my answer in the market....
If anyone has a similar question..."samsung remote" in the market will accomplish all of these requests!!
I already use my epic to control my directv

I actually think there is. My brother in law was telling me about an Android App he found which would do all of this. I think he heard it from someone else though, as he didn't have it all hooked up yet, but I do believe he said it was somewhere in the $20 range for the app itself.
If you could use your smartphone as a remote for all that fun stuff...that would be..well..yeah, it's coming, EPIC.
Can you ask your brother in law what is the name of that app.

I did and he mentioned something called "pocketblu" but it only works via bluetooth. Since our phones don't have infrared, they won't work on standard TVs for the most part. He did mention AllShare but didn't get into the details of it.
I know he's looked into this stuff quite a bit, but the above information was through just a few texts. The next time we're together (probably Easter weekend) I'll be sure to have a better discussion with him.
Recently I managed to get N64noid, however I also found out that the Samsung Epic 4G can't pair with a Wiimote. So I was wondering, is this a ROM issue or a hardware issue?
[I searched but the closest thing I found was regarding the Epic 4G touch and I'm not sure how similar the devices are.]
Update:
I flashed CyanogenMod located here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299621
After that my Wiimote and Sixaxis tethered to my phone. The Rom isn't for the feint of heart as it's not complete. It's almost complete however and my emulators run fine on my Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700. I can also play some Android games with my Wiimote and Sixaxis that were originally a real pain via touch screen and keypad.
So this topic is solved. If this topic helps you, scroll down and give thanks to 'bender beerman'.
Also it was mentioned by 'tbob18' that it's possible to use Bonsai B16 and Thunderhawk to achieve the same results. I'm not sure as I haven't tested them yet, but I will soon.
I think it's a driver issue. The BT driver doesn't support HID devices.

i agree with ^^ both them. u can't pair a wiimote with an evo until u flash cyanogenmod onto it... may be the same with the epic? i haven't tried yet.
in case you're still monitoring this, i did actually successfully sync my wiimote to my epic running cyanogenmod 7, the 10/22 release, with the wiimote controller app.
I recommend FPSE and the SIXAXIS app. I have an Evo running CM7 and playing PLAYSTATION 1 ROMs (Street Fighter Alpha 3) and a dual shock 3 controller is sweet. I've got the apks if you want to try. This is the main reason why I dumped SENSE. Just PM me.

I'll keep monitoring this topic. I'm going to look for this cyanogenmod. My dad uses it on his EVO, though he won't let me test my mote on his phone.
Time to look into flashing the mod.
I'll update this post once I've figured it out and tested the theory. I really hope it works. It's straight up murder trying to play Legends of Zelda on a key pad or touch screen.
Edit: It seems my model SPH-D700 isn't compatible with Cyanogenmod. Now I'm bummed out.
Just a question.. I've tried messing with the wiimote app thingy from b4 but never really understood what it is exactly.. does it turn my phone into a nintendo wii controller or does it just allow my phone to be controlled by the nintendo wii controller?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It allows you to use a Wiimote as a controller for games and emulators.
Basically you can bind keys to it, such as (A) would bind to the a on the phones keyboard. It's much easier to use a controller than attempt to use the keyboard on the phone.
I read that Samsung is going to release Android 2.3 sometime this year. Maybe that will fix the bluetooth issue. I hope so anyway.
I have it on my sph-d700 epic, look here on xda in the Android development section

I've installed CyanogenMod and both my Wiimote and my PS3 Controller tether just fine now. Unfortunately Cyanogen is defiantly not finished. Not that I mind too much since this phone isn't going to be a phone for much longer.
QQPlayer works just fine for video playback.
Images taken with the camera don't make a thumbnail. It's only a little annoying. However critiquing Cyanogen isn't what this topic was about.
So let it be written (Is someone writing this?) that if anyone wants to use a Wiimote or Sixaxis controller with their Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700, they will have to use CyanogenMod located below:

It is by no means perfect, but nice none the less.

I'm by no means good at this, but I'll try to help.
hey, u should just keep posting here or in general until u get to 10 or 25 or whatever it is where u can push the thanks button and post in the development section. i'm glad to hear u got everything running. if you are having problems u can flash your roms over themselves without wiping any data (i usually flash my roms 3x, just like i wipe data, cache, and dalvik 3x) and it helps more often than you'd think. with cyanogen, i think after u reflash the rom, u may have to reflash the gapps.zip again too.

The only time I've ever gotten a Wiimote to work with an emu on my Epic 4G is when I had CyanogenMod on it. I remember reading in a thread somewhere on here (XDA) that you simply can't pair a Wiimote with the Epic 4G if it's running anything but CyanogenMod because of the Bluetooth stack written/created by Samsung. Something about it being too proprietary. It was a while ago, so I don't have a link, sorry. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Yeah it has to do with the Bluetooth stack that tw uses, you could try miui.us if you don't like cm7 but I'm not sure if it works. What I do to play 64 is use the game gripper and the button re-mapper app to make the power button become a search button, that way I have a left and right trigger. Almost feels natural and it works on any rom.

My parents just got one of those HD sets with it built in and so I finally tried this feature. It worked really well aside from some pausing, which I'm guessing is choking due to it being a 720p video from my phone and maybe the connection. The video itself was only about 45 seconds.
But what chiefly impressed me other than the proof of concept was that the devices recognized each other right away. Does anyone use it and is it smoother than my experience?
I've used it once before and put my music from my phone onto my ps3 other than that not really but I agree it is pretty awesome

Does it ever choke or stutter on larger video files? Is the DLNA protocol somehow bandwidth limited? Maybe distance is a factor, or is it CPU/memory of the phone? Just curious because my one test choked some.

I've found that if I use the samsung task killer widget to kill apps (just hit the X), then go run allshare subsequent videos all run fine.
If I don't and just start trying to share videos, yeah it stutters badly.

Iam looking for an attachment or dock to attach your phone to a ps3 controller. I already linked a ps3 controller to my e4gt via six axis app and just need to secure the phone to the controller. I remember seeing somthing similar online but now i cant find it anywhere. any suggestions?
Use this link http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
The android app just is for the phone, you need to follow the directions on the sixaxis site. You basically need to change your BT address on the controller to match your phone. No wired connection to the phone is necessary.
