am i asking you to do it?
Ive been eyeing that mini one for a while now. I think TV out + emulators would prove to be pretty awesome. The only thing thats keeping me from getting it is that I havent seen any evidence of being able to map hardware keys (menu, home, back, search, or trackball/arrow) to it.
EDIT: Actually we are probably going to have to wait until Froyo is released before something like this will work. JI6 doesnt support Bluetooth HID's, so bluetooth keyboards and Wiimotes are no go. Though snooping around on youtube, this thing has more potential than I thought. The most in-depth video showed a guy using the special function keys (volume up, down, mute, media keys and the like) they all worked as expected, so Im hoping the same experience can be achieved on android. If not, Ill probably end up getting it for my HTPC anyways.

And full support for hardware buttons. You can even designate a camera button!
EDIT: Right now that app is sitting at two stars in the market, mainly because it isnt working on Evo's or Galaxy S phones... Oh well...
I definitely wouldn't want to "carry this around," but it would be amazing for emulators and other games.

This guy has his attached to his HD2. Also, the Vibrant is just about the same size as the HD2, so this makes for a good size comparison. I kinda wouldnt mind having that hinge thingy, and long as I could add it to my black gel case, and have it fold back instead of over the screen.

wow! i hope that would work on vibrant.
Once this 2.2 that our developers are getting tonight is in our hands then all of these things will work.

My opinion? If you want a physical keyboard, sell your Vibrant and get a G2.
Why? With the 2.2 update they should work... I'm just not at home so I can't test atm.

Wasn't the wiimote not working because we have bluetooth 3.0. So what does froyo have to do with it?

I believe the problem before was that it didn't have the Bluetooth HID drivers. I think those are supposed to have been added in.
Well weve got perfectly working Froyo roms now. Anyone here have a Wiimote they could try pairing?
I am running bionix_obsidian v2 froyo build. I also have a wii remote and can confirm it does not work!!. it will reconise the wii and will try to pair but asks for a pin. to my understanding the wii remote does not use a typical pin to pair.

yes I did to no avail. people that are using it for pc games can get around the pin but not on android.

I'm currently using this one, and works fine with bionix Obsidian
When pairing, Vibrant asks to input one time PIN from keyboard. I just typed what it said then all fine.
Awesome!
Would you mind testing out some of the function keys, like volume and media buttons?
And also any way to use Menu Home Back and Search with this?

Thanks. Now, notice how that S3 goes into the Tablet UI? With no modifications to the firmware. We need to find out how to enable that independently of docking.

I would assume its because its displaying on the laptop dock which has a larger screen and smaller DPI. You can force your S3 into the tablet UI by simply lowering your pixel density, but then everything is so small.

Yeah, but I mean w/o manually editing the DPI. Like a toggle or something built in to ROMs. Would be kinda cool, at least IMO. Especially if someone already has an MHL adapter and plugs it up to their HD TV.

Shut up and take my money!!!
I've been waiting for something like this since I bought my iPod Touch 2g back in 2008. The Atrix would have been nice, but laptop dock was ridiculously overpriced, and only available on AT&T.
Has anyone been able successfully find anything else on these? I have been searching high and low and have yet to find it.

What i would want to see from a device like this is an integrated dock for the phone. Let's say I'm on a plane or a train, i dont want cables between two devices, i would want my phone to clip into the netbook somehow. Maybe on the back of the screen? Or even better, screen up, in next to the trackpad flush with the keyboard, with the Capability to use it as an auxiliary screen. Or why not use the phone itself AS the trackpad?
Even still, as it is now, I'd buy it.

How are you able to connect to the OG? I used to be able to connect my wii remote to play nes.emu rooms but for some reason google changed something in 4.2.2 and now it won't connect. It asks for a pin but I've searched everywhere for an answer.
idk how I got here...

To be honest I haven't tried yet on 4.2.2 I just started using Rootbox about 2 days ago. Glad you said that, now I'm having issues with gettin the Sixaxis app to work.
***Update*** I cleared the data of the Sixaxis App and it updated the bluetooth address, it now works for me.
Sounds nice, will try a wireless Xbox360 Controller later on, been messing with those quite a bit ( SCREW YOU MICROSOFT I MOD MY XBOX OUT OF SPITE!! )
and I've done some work with the Xbox360 but I'll try.

I buddy of mine got the Moga Pro, and it's great for the LGOG. I don't have to take my Diztronic case off of it, and it still fits into the mounting bracket. Overall, it is very comfortable. The only bummer, and it's not due to the controller, was that I couldn't map any buttons for Call of Duty: Zombies. You have to use the screen to control the game. Worked flawlessly with Dead Trigger. Moga's app is kind of lame, too.

And this is the only advantage of using the Sixaxis app because there is touch emulation. Would be sweet if there was a universal app that did the same thing with other controllers, there may be but I just haven't discovered it yet.
I've always wondered how people use their sixaxis controller to play games on their Android.
How do you play? your both hands are holding the sixaxis, what's holding your phone? Or is there a way to hold your phone on top of the sixaxis.
I would like to know because I want to use my sixaxis, but feel really weird holding the sixaxis and my phone on my lap. I want to know if there is a controller that can hold a phone similar to the MOGA controller but much less expensive.

Well I was using a Gametel to play all my old favorite NES, SNES, SMS and Genesis games, but after minimal use the right side of the d-pad stopped working. Seems to be a common problem.
As much as I love the design and the way it fits in my hands the durability makes me say avoid at all costs.

You need a MHT Compliant Micro HD to Full HD Cable. Many of the cheap cables in the market are made for Galaxy S2 with its 10 pin layout. They don't work for Galaxy S3 with its 11 pin layout. If its work related and want reliable cable then I'd suggest buy from Samsung or a Samsung Branded one on Amazon.
If you want Portable Android on TV then take a look at Smart Stick in my signature.

My boss actually ordered some smart sticks like that, he doesn't have them yet but needs me to get them working the day of when he does get them, and wants me to test some apps to see if they scale to an HDTV properly.

I'll ask here instead of starting my own thread, I have a similar question. I had TW 4.1.2 and a S3 specific hdmi connector cable that worked just fine for plugging my phone into my tv. I've since switched to a CM11 based rom and the cable no longer works. I want to play movies from my phone on my tv, What's the best way to do this?
Hey guys! Check out my new psp? awsome controller i got for my pixel. Works perfect on everything. Gta, emulators, and moonlight all work perfect. Paid around 30 bucks for it, LEDs are beautiful too!

So how are you connecting the controller to it? Via Bluetooth? I have a PS4 controller connected via Bluetooth and the latency issues were unreal and all the fixes I did didn't help. I ended up just using a cable to connect I directly which then works flawlessly.
Let me know, I'm curious.

I might have to pick up one of these once fortnite hits Android. The description on the Amazon product page references that lag is less than 6 seconds.

Game support can be hit or miss. Most emulators or games with on screen controls tend to work. Most decent button remappers require root these days (someone prove me wrong )
