I'm interested enough that I'll be a guinea pig and give this a shot over the weekend but I thought I would see if anyone else has tried this first.
I successfully used the siaxis app along with a ps3 controller plugged in through USB.

I haven't had any luck with sixaxis or usb flash drive. Won't recognize either. Keep forgetting to try my logitech also. I need to get it working so I can test a powered hub also to see if charging will work.

I'm guessing you're not rooted yet?
I already heard that USB storage doesn't recognize but that apps can pull it off if the device is rooted.
I have used my Sixaxis with GTA. I have also plugged my other phone in and was able to get adb shell to the other device (which also subsequently was charging as well). USB thumb drives work as well when used with StickMount (found in the market created by one of our own). USB hubs work, powers itself and worked with a USB keyboard, mouse, and the thumb drive.

You can also use the Wii controller, that works fine, is BT so it's wireless - you just need to install an app to get it working:

Edit: Sorry the wii controller works on both n64oid and gameboid, and im assuming every other emulator, you just have to go into Other settings and check the input method option.
Btw what emulators does the Sixaxis ps3 controller work with? The idea of bluetooth + dual analog sticks + awesome build design and a recognizable controller is worth $50 . Does it work with n64oid/gameboid and other emulators? How about just android games, shadowgun maybe?
Edit 2: Played Super smash bros with the wii controller, worked great. Played it with Zelda OoT .. was a f***ing nightmare; virtual controllers are better. (I attached the nunchuck for this game) The deadzone of the analog stick is ridiculous, and you can't use the B button on the controller at all because N64oid (and the other emus) register it as the "Back" button so you cant use your sword at all and all it does is bring up the stupid emulator menu every single time ... I tried remapping the button in the Wii IME app to no avail ... what a pain -.- I hope the PS3 sixaxis works better; it definitely looks better than the nunchuck/controller with the wire and everything ...
USB game controller support was introduced in 3.2 and should be carried over into ICS.
Best solution IMO is the Six axis app and wireless bluetooth. The new six axis app supports virtual screen presses to make it compatible with virtually all android games.

One quick way around is to root and install ChainFire3d and install the necessary plugins <Tegra, Qualcomm> and then installing them and playing the game!

Did you download it from the Android Market or from Samsung Apps?? Samsung Apps has it for free but specifically states that it is only for the oringinal SGS1 and not the SGS2.
I downloaded it from the android market and thank you everyone for your support. I feel so bad that I can't install the beloved game my 4 yr. Old loves to play on his ipod, I feel definitely really bad since I paid $749 for my GSII that I can't play a simple high end game like NFS.

Ok, the game is playing fine now, but the only problem is that every like 3 minutes it pauses or turns off completely, so I have to turn the power buttom on my GSII and the game comes back telling me that it has been paused.
Strange every time this happens I see the lock screen, have to unlock the lock screen and then un-pause the game.
Is anyone else having a similar problem like this?

I am looking for an app that will wirelessly send my Android screen to my TV through my XBOX360 or PS3. I have found app that send specific media on you phone storage, but I want to show everything that is on my screen. Specifically I want to view my Jetflix shows to my TV, which is streaming the media. Or do the same with DroidTV Primtime.
I found this YouTube video that seems to do exactly that, but can't find any actual application information or download information.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0QwWYzzW_8
Anyone have any ideas how this can be done?
Edit: I have searched Google for Android Phone to TV and Internal Sender, which are the only clue I get from the video.
Edit: found that it is AWIND INC company that made the app...

Edit: looks like they make servers, so a media server might be necesarry....?

Anyone know of any apps out there that might be able to send Android screen to a XBOX or PS3 wirelessly?
I believe you need a dlna enable TV or if not a dlna receiver plus both your phone and the TV/receiver would have to be connected to the same wifi.

I You can get the Allshare dlna app to play to xbox360 and ps3 without a dlna ready TV. So with the proper app, I thought it might be possible to do the same, but view the android screen instead of just specific media files.

Essentially you want to mirror your phones GUI on a tv screen right?
As far as I know one way is having a pc connected to your tv and then using a particular app installed on your phone & then using the pc's browser to mirror the phones GUI.
The other only works on the EVO (the app is called FullHDMI) but it's via the EVO's HDMI port not via wifi.
Having said that I don't think there's anyway as of yet to route it thru your 360 or PS3, though you may be only to stream the contents. Sorry.
Big time lag!

Yes that is what I want to do. Mainly just so that I can view TV shows that I am streaming on my phone. I can do this with an hdmi contected from phone to tv, but very inconvenient to have to go to the TV each time I want to pause/play or switch shows. "I know I'm spoiled" hehe
I have found I can plug the phone into the tv via hdmi to view content and then install Droid VNC Server to the phone and a VCN client on my laptop and essentially control the phone on my Phone/TV remotely with my computer. This works pretty good. The only problem is the phone is trying to keep my laptop screen "updated" with the TV show and the phone get very hot. So I am looking for a more convenient way to essentially do this.
Not extremely important, just like to mess around with it and see what I can do, and thought maybe someone knew something I did not...
The only thing I can think of would be to get a multimedia bluetooth keyboard for your phone & use that as a remote control.
Basically you connect your phone to your tv via HDMI (MHL adapter) & then use that keyboard as the remote control.
However I cannot speak as to it's abilities and or its limitations. I'm just throwing some ideas out there.
Hopefully someone else can chime in.
Something like this maybe as it has a built in mouse

hi i've been looking for a while now and ive found a few 7' tablet cases with keyboards and was wondering if anyone has tried one with the kindle fire.
It's highly unlikely right now.
The chip set in the Kindle apparently supports Bluetooth, but Amazon chose to not enable it. There are talented devs at work to enable it, but nothing so far.
Bump
I am not the most tech savy person out there, but is there no other portable external keyboard that would be compatible with the KF that is not necessarily Bluetooth. I started school, and love using my KF for simple note taking, but i can only swype so fast lol, and would love to use it for faster and longer note taking.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great!

At the moment, no. The only options for keyboards are bluetooth and usb, neither of which are currently available on the KF.
You will either have to wait for a ROM that can support it (thus rooting and flashing your KF) or wait and see if Amazon will release an OTA which enables the support.

Get a stylus and use it on a journal type app? That's what I'm doing at the moment. Then I go home and type it all out on Evernote since it's a bit sloppy. I'm actually going to give Quill a try next week which supports Evernote too.
I dont know why amazon would have bluetooth and the other stuff that ppl would use disabled.
I think it only hurts the sell of the KF if you ask me, haha I wouldnt have the one I have if my wife wouldnt have gotten it.
It's unfortunate that this isn't possible yet, it's something I would really like to see.
so there isn't any keyboards that work over wifi that could work? That's kinds what I was thinking. I know its possible because I got a app that uses one aneroid device to control another over wifi.

Yes, there are apps that use a computer to do the same thing. HOWEVER, there is no such thing as a dedicated wifi enabled keyboard. Why? Because the speeds wouldn't be fast enough for daily usage. It'd be like using dialup, except that instead for webpages taking a minute to load up, it'll be all your keystrokes.
Wifi connections are good for home sharing files/music/video, but not for something that should only take .0000000000001 milliseconds. Lol.
Which is why Bluetooth and USB are the mainly used interface. They're faster, they are not dependent on your router, and are far easier to plug & play.
A little bump but is there anyway this thing can help?

You cant use that cable, Kindle Fire doesn't support USB host. Developers are trying to make ICS work fully and neither bluetooth or USB host are priority to them.

Bumped into a RIM guy with a playbook. He was testing out a bluetooth enabled keyboard and showed it to me. Very nice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI
Not thinking "ground breaking" or anything, but very nice stuff none the less.
I had an Atrix 4G with the Lapdock accessory (+webtop mod) before the GNEX, so using my android phone as my computer is something i'm familiar with, even though it was in a different way.
I also have the Rii mini bluetooth keyboard and tried once with the Nexus connected to my TV. Just that one time because I received the MHL adapter very recently.

I just use a Bluetooth mouse and a cheap bt thumb keyboard off eBay with a good layout for direction keys. I don't have an MHL adapter yet but it should work. I think your issue is your keyboard\mouse combo may be too complicated without some software.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - CM9 AOKP
Asus Transformer - Revolver
Something else I've tried is installing ubuntu in a chroot, accessing it through VNC, and using bluetooth mouse+keyboard with MHL output. Results are shaky at best. VNC is the bottleneck - none of the VNC clients I've tried really work perfectly.
Some typical issues:
- Double-clicking doesn't work
- Keys are not always mapped properly. Escape, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, for example.
- Audio doesn't work at all.
- Because it's through VNC, graphics are not hardware accelerated.
The efficiency of using a full linux install with a keyboard is lost when the keyboard doesn't function as expected.
Looks promising. I would like to see desktop programs like spreadsheets, real time financial apps, or maybe sending something to the printer.
I did. No add ons. Everything was from the GN and the MHL adapter with the back cover off.

I dont plan on using mine as a desktop computer but for my galaxy tab 10.1 I have this bluetooth keyboard from logitech that sync'd perfectly and works well with the nexus also.
It is, I would say, about the size of a laptop keyboard so you can get a good rhythm going once you get comfortable with the keys and the size of the keyboard.
As for mouse, I have no idea. I have this cheap one from that is bluetooth form logitech also but I dont like using it. But in a pinch its better than nothing.
Where did you purchase the serioux keyboard?
I bought the serious from a local store (I found it by chance .. I was not looking for it on purpose). I see that lots of online stores here in Romania have this keyboard in stock ....
If you want to make an idea about the size, compared with a full sized keyboard....
// sent from my green robot //
I have a google t.v. Keyboard Which I thought would work but its not discoverable by default so I will have to buy a bt keyboard and mouse. MHL is nice though its great that this can be done.
I have been using this setup off an on for a few weeks now. I actually had an Apple keyboard and mouse sitting around the house and they paired with the device perfectly.
I also did the Ubuntu install and you are absolutely right... VNC is the bottle neck and it makes everything unusable.
While its fun to toy around with, it is still too clunky of a setup for me to make it my permanent laptop replacement. If I could get the output on the monitor to be a tablet layout instead of a close up of the phone screen, it may be a different story.
My GN has basically become my multimedia hub/ desktop. I used the Samsung mhl adapter to avoid some problems I heard about with other adapters. I use the Logitech bt Android 3.0+ keyboard mouse combo. Got these on Amazon.
On my TV I use Gmail, Calendar, GDocs, Netflix, Music, Weather, Market Movies, etc... I love it.
And even use Google Video Chat off the back camera using the keyboard case stand!

So, I have an iPega Bluetooth gamepad that worked fine during the day of 4.2.2-4.3 (on my Nexus 4) but after the KitKat update, it doesn't detect other buttons than the directional pad. Skip forward 3 months, I got my self a Nexus 7 FHD and definitely fell in love with the USB OTG support. Then, I had the idea of plugging my computer gamepad through the USB OTG and the same thing happened, only directional keys are detected.
Did KitKat break some gamepad support? How was playing games with gamepad before the KitKat update? Were you guys able to play games with PC gamepads?

Yeah, before the KitKat update, I could play many games including Asphalt 8, MC 4, NOVA, etc using the Ipega pad but since the update, none works as explained.

You might have to hack together a Vendor_*_Product_*.kl file for your device ID, here's an example of a kl file for xbox's controller. You can find the identifier and product on your system logs when the device plugged in. You may even be able to use an existing kl file, just rename it.

That is really interesting, I'll go try it out. Thanks man!
So I read the link you attached and as suggested checked out what my USB Game Controller is via logcat and found out it's a "Dragon Rise USB gamepad". I Googled it and found the driver file from this thread (download link here). Extracted the zip file, moved the .kl file into /system/usr/keylayout, changed the permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) and restarted.
It doesn't work on other games than Asphalt 8 and The Amazing Spiderman 2 but at least I can play those two games now, so yeah...

There should be an app that spoofs a controller(from many popular ones) then you map buttons/keys/sticks to it.. ie to fix gameloft no mapping options

Yeah there are apps like that such as Tincore Keymapper but the interface is really confusing, I haven't found a user friendly app for that :\

Actually if you buy some good branded controllers, there are specific app for them that lets you do this. Even the SixAxis Controller thing can too, but nah, I don't feel like spending that much money on mobile gaming
