I don't think so. There is no app for that. It would only work if ur tablet was running windows 7

A www that would be great... thanks
I think it would be awesome if I was able to somehow mate my G2 with my PS3 using bluetooth and use the touch screen as a mouse and the hardware keyboard as ... well a keyboard for the PS3.
I think the app blueputdroid is very useful for what you're trying to do. I tried using it for my plan, but I kept getting force closes, if you try it, post your results good luck

Today was the day Minecraft Pocket Edition was released for all Xperia Play devices, and I tried to run it on my Droid Inc2, but it won't use the touch screen, so I had a question/request.
1) Can we use a PS3 Controller (as you can sync it with your Droid now) to play?
2) Is it possible for someone to mod it and have it for non-Play devices?
Also attached is the demo version, so I hope it's not against the rules.
I really wish it worked with our phones... Looks awesome so far. I am pretty sure you will be able to use a PS3 or Wii remote to play it with non-play devices. I don't think its going to be possible to make it work on our phones until its official.
I read that some controls work when using a sixaxis controller
Yeah. You can run around, break and place blocks as well as jump and crouch. Problem thus far has been inability to look around... still playing with sixaxis button mapping.

You were able to break and place blocks? How'd you manage that? I was only able to move around, jump and crouch
In the sixaxis mappings use button_R1 to place and button_L1 to break.

So from Sixaxis Controller's app, set the mapping for R1 and L1 to button_R1 and button_L1 ? Cuz even when doing that I can still only jump crouch and move around..
Not that it should matter but I have them flipped so R1 = Button_L1.

Has anyone figured out how to look around?
I tried every button mapping available in the sixaxis controller app. No can do.

Forgive me for digging up an old thread, but I have a question about the Sixaxis app, and you all seem to be using it with your Dinc2's which to me implies the app works with the phone. I haven't actually bought the app, but I ran the compatibility checker and my phone failed. So I'm a little hesitant to just give it a shot.
Is it a false failure?
Do I need a certain ROM to have comptabitility?
I tried searching for this(Google, and here on xda), but all I ever get are threads about how to do it with an Incredible 1, which apparently involves loading a custom ROM, and giving up the TV out functionality.(Dinc1 owners seemed to dislike that tradeoff) I also read that the incompatibility involves Sense's Bluetooth driver, which is why a custom ROM makes Sixaxis work with the phone.
I am running 2.3.3, and am rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If starting a new thread is a better option I will do that. I just figured I'd post about it on the only thread that came up when I searched "sixaxis" in the Dinc2 forum.
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

Also make sure before flashing that ROM that you don't need hd video playback or 4g. Those are the 2 things that don't work on cyanogen right now, but they're actively developing it right now.

Is 720x480 h264 considered Highdef?
I don't think so, but i'm not an authority on that subject. I know it doesn't play hd video from YouTube, and it doesn't play back video recorded from the phone, but i'm not sure what the limitation is on the resolution

Just make sure u make a nandroid backup from clockwork mod before flashing cyanogen and if u find it unuseable u can just go back to how it was before

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299621
It is by no means perfect, but nice none the less. I'm going to continue testing this but since it doesn't pertain to this topic I'll probably not post to this topic unless someone asks any questions. I have this topic set to send me a notification. 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 Sixaxis should work fine on other roms using Sixaxis Controller from the market. So far I've tried it on Bonsai B16 and Thunderhawk, and it works flawlessly on both.
Touch screen controls annoy me so I am looking into one for my phone anyone know of any?

A PS3 controller. You need to use an app to make it work though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Which ones?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
You can use a PS3 controller if you have root I believe and the app to make it work is called "SixAxis" on the android market.
You can also visit your local gametstop and pick up the Android Bluetooth Controler. Heres the link of the one I bought http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838 Works decent and great for the emulator apps such as n64oid and gensoid ect....
Would a stick on type analog joystick be out the scope of options here?

I was considering this prior to finding this tread.
I use a Sixaxis PS3 controller. Everything else seems simply uncivilized.
If I could find a way to get a fightstick working on it, that would be even better.
Have any of you been able to hook up the wiimote to this device and play any games (N64, SNES, etc.)? I can't figure how to get it going.

Then use an emulator and individually map each button to each action e.g 1=A 2=B and so on, but this is kind of advanced and I don't remember exactly a how to do it but I did eventually map the wiimote to mimic a NES gamepad and play SMB

Thanks for your reply.
Have you tried this app? Like most other Wiimote apps, it warns: "This app doesn't work on phones with HTC Sense UI and most newer Samsung phones (Galaxy S included). More info on the website." I'm assuming that the Note 10.1 2014 is one of the "newer" Samsung models.

I tried it on my old 4.1.1 tablet and it worked. May not work for the Note 10.1. I don't own one so I couldn't tell you. I would just try and see if it works. If not, I would look around for others

If u can, id recommend getting a cheap ps3 controller off craigslist or somewhere. Mapping controls for higher end Android games and emulators is a breeze.

if you use the said app you must ensure your android version is below 4.2. this is already mentioned in the app description:
Incompatibility update: Android 4.2+ is not compatible with this app. The reason for this is that Google changed an essential bluetooth component in this version of Android. We are looking for a solution.

in this case, the note 10.1 2014 is highly unlikely to work since it came preinstalled 4.3
