'OK'ing and 'X'ing an application from the keyboard.

I find it frustrating when I've been working in the keyboard that to accept it or close it down that I have to move up to the top right of the touch screen.
Is there a way to do it from the keyboard (my old mda 2 had its own ok button). Assuming not can code be written that does the job via the Fn key. Say Fn then X.

you can probably use rhodium keyboard controller and map something. everyone swears by that program but i never got it working. the att version has an ok button anyway.

Of course the hardware button on the front of the phone does "Ok" but if you want to specifically close, yes you need something else.. I still use AEButtonPlus myself for stuff like that, but the keyboard controller would likely be able to do it too.

"Rhodium keyboard controller" works excellent!
And yes, it is possible to remap so that a button works simililar to an "Ok"-button. I use the letter-symbol-button as "Ok". The Ok often works as closing the program ("x").
I haven´t found anything corresonding to "x" but haven´t really missed it either with the above solution. But it would be interesting to know it there i such a function.
Good luck!

PS3 bluetooth keyboard works with Cappy

Not sure if its something that works out of the box on any 2.2 setup, or if its something about the Cognition release (using 2.3b6)... I was wondering if my PS3 bt keyboard would work with my Cappy. Wow! It does work ! No extras required to be installed beyond. Maybe next time I flash back stock I think I will check if stock 2.1 supports it too.
Makes typing much easier with a fullsize keyboard.
Thought I was going to need that apk called BlueInput but I didn't. Now for the weird stuff, the mapping. I haven't figured it all out quite yet.
Home =: Goes back to the Home screen
End := Turns screen off and on
.. I have some more experimenting for certain.
Anyone else discover this ? If so, did you find all the keyboard mappings ?

Shift key once, switches to uppercase for one letter. Hit it twice and its caps on.
Home key goes to Home screen.
End key turns screen off and on
Tab appears to work just like tab
Arrow keys work like normal
Alt key switches to different keyboard characters (like foreign keys)
Escape is like pressing the back button
F1 brings up menu
F2 nothing
F3 Brings up the call log (weird)
F4 Works like the End Key by turning the screen on and off
F5 nothing
F6 nothing
F7 nothing
F8 nothing
F9 nothing
F10 nothing
F11 nothing
F12 nothing
Even the mousepad works on the PS3 keyboard. Little clutzy, but it does work. So not exactly a replacement for your devices keyboard, but helpful when writing larger documents.

Did the same experiment with my wife's iPhone 4, and the results were very very limited in comparison, though it still was able to type. No mouse activity though.

I searched and found different models. Can someone please give the branding of a keyboard that works. I was looking for one a while back, but didn't know of one that would definately work. Can anyone confirm if it works with online games as well?

galaxy note gt-n7000 - bluetooth mouse

hi everyone,
i am to hoping create an exhaustive list of bluetooth mice for the galaxy note. it will help everyone looking for one, and i think it would make a wonderful device for remote desktop sessions.
if anyone can list any models they can confirm to work i would be greatly appreciative. also, please list any you have tested which do not work, as this will help narrow down the search.
thanks in advance.

So which is it? "Reportedly working" or "confirmed working"? It's one or the other but it can't be both.

it has been confirmed to work by a user over at phandroid.
so I guess we will take his word for it =]

Confirmed working (on AOKP) -
Apple Magic Mouse, complete with scrolling gesture.

magic trackpad works

The mouse on the Logitech DiNovo Edge is working as well.

Reserved for later: when I get home I will test with my razer orochi (the thought never occurred to me to use it with my phone!) The only thing I want now is a mhl adapter so I can use it as a portable media storage medium which I can connect to my tv
Edit: it works flawlessly

So do we have a list of bluetooth mouses that cab be mapped to all android functions on the gnote?
I am looking for a cheap one (maybe from ebay) that can perform all the android functions.
This guy states that his dell mouse can do it all (except for the home key):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEb-DICYCgg
Left mouse button = single press and hold to do long press
Right mouse button = back function
Wheel scroll = scroll/swipe up and down
Wheel button = Menu
? = Home

Any standard bluetooth mouse should work.
ie as long as you don't need to install proprietary mouse mouse drivers to use it in Windows, it should work on Android.
In regards to the right mouse click mapping to the back button, I believe they changed that with ICS.
In GB, right click used to map to the back button, but in ICS it no longer does. I presume that change was to allow applications to support the right click function.
I have a Buffalo BT Laser mouse BSMLB01.
It also has a back and forward button for back and forward in a web browser in Windows.
The back button maps to the back button on ICS.
The forward button doesn't seem to do anything.
The touch pad on the Rii mini also works fine.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah i have connected one from work before, but it has no Menu button mapped.
It is so useful so have it, instead of pressing the Menu button on the phone.
At work - I tested a Logitech MX laser (M-RBA97) mouse and it only has the Back function mapped - not the Menu button. It has so many other buttons, but none are usable.
There must be a mouse out there that can do all, Menu, Back, and maybe even search.
Or maybe an app that can remap buttons on common bluetooth mouses.
I am also looking for a bluetooth keyboard too, and would also need the Menu, Back, Home functions.
Wouldn't it be really informative, if we had a sticky post that listed all known and tested bluetooth devices and their pros & cons, purchase price & place, etc. ?
Everyone can just edit or add their findings to keep it updated.

Logitech have an Android keyboard that has back, home and menu buttons.

I was looking more towards cheap/ebay ones around $20... the mouse and keyboard are not critical but would be nice to have...
Office shops sell same ones for $40+ so a bit too much.
I think if i get a bluetooth keyboard with the F1, F2, F3, etc. function keys, it will do it all..
ESC = back
Menu (on right of the Space key) = Menu
F2 or F3 is Home
I dont think this kb has been reviewed here yet.. the F keys are secondary so its going to be a pain to press 2 keys every time..
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/26105960...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_7078wt_1224
There seems to be 2 key layouts on ebay for the same model/design.

I have Toshiba Bluetooth mouse which was working in GB 2.3.6, but I updated to ICS 4.0.4 and the mouse can not be paired. When I try to pair the mouse it gives me a pop up that I should enter a PIN to pair the device, but the mouse never wanted a PIN in GB 2.3.6 and was working good. The stock pins 0000, 1234 are not working either.

Logitech MX5000 Revolution Working
Hello all,
Have just tried my Logitech MX5000 Revolution bluetooth mouse and paired (with code 0000 ) straight away with the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 running stock rooted rom fine.
All buttons seemed to respond OK and mouse pointer was working fine.
Cheers.

You mean the logitech mx5000 has a button for Menu? or just single press and back?
thanks

And i have an A4Tech mouse that used to work fully with my Note N7000 while i was using the stock GB ROM. But now when i have upgraded to Stock ICS (i have tried 3 ROMs), It aint working fully. It gets paired and left mouse button and scroll button function properly but the right button aint functioning as Back; it is performing the same function as of left button i.e., selection.
Anyone knows what could have happened?
Anyone with the same issue?

Thats exactly what im facing with ICS ROMs.
But whats the point in changing it? It seems more like a bug bcoz without back, its functionality is far too limited.
Cant there be a MOD for that?

[Q] bluetooth mouse

hi guys,
I am using a Bluetooth mouse with my note 8. The left mouse button works as expected, but I would like the right mouse button to work roughly as it does under windows. Is there a way to assign functions ( like copy/paste) to the right mouse button. Right now it will close a window if I press it.
Incidentally I am using both a Bluetooth and a USB keyboard( with the docking station) and many of the keys don't work as expected. For instance, the escape key will close a window. Is there a way to assign a function to a key?

bump
Hi guys,
Just giving this a bump. It has been here for a week and no reply. Please let me know if there is a better forum for these types of questions.

Last I tried my wireless mouse I had the same issues which I think are either android related or touchwiz implementation. So rightclick works as a back button however if you hold left mouse button for a while you should get the context menus or what ever you expect rightclick to do. Not ideal but works. In win7 I get same behaviour with my wacom tablet pen.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk

i think its an operation system issues , how to react on right mouse click.
i use a mouse on my n5100 when i need to connect rdp to my WIN7 desktop,
and there, right click works just fine.
i think, if you want to call context menu with right mouse button on android,
(which is done by long clickin), maybe try searching for apps that control those kinda functions.

Best remote for FireTV with keyboard + IR controls for TV power, volume?

I am looking to consolidate my TV remote, keyboard, + FireTV remote to one remote with keyboard + IR controls for my dumb TV power + volume. What is everyone else using? Recommendations?
I've been eyeing the Aerb MX3 and MeLE F10 Deluxe. I'm leaning towards the Aerb because it allows the IR buttons to be used without switching to a TV remote mode. I'm nervous about the air mouse kicking on all the time and selecting things I didn't intend to.

Which one did you get? I just ordered the aerb mx3 as am hoping it works good with stb emulator and am happy that it can turn the tv off and on too.. will do up a review after i get it.

I use a harmony smart keyboard. It can send IR to TV and pairs with FireTV using bluetooth. I also have the basic remote. So I use the basic remote 90% of the time but when I need a keyboard and mouse I use that.

I have the F10 Deluxe and love it to death, but it took some keymap editing to get the thing to stop being more of an annoyance than a help, so if you're not rooted/can't root I really wouldn't bother. If you ARE rooted, however, it's pretty amazing. The keyboard's pretty responsive, the air mouse does what it should and only after I turn it on, and being able to charge it by micro USB is a huge plus in my book. I haven't touched the stock remote in almost two months now and I really don't have any complaints.
For anyone interested in it, here's my modified .kl file for the F10 Deluxe. I fixed the mapping for the home and menu buttons, remapped prev/next track to rewind/fast forward, and removed the F10, F11, and F12 mappings for My Box, STB, and TV respectively. If you don't change those last three mappings then any time you press any of those buttons you will minimize or close your current app, which is a real pain when you just wanted to click the TV button to adjust volume.

I was wondering do any of these remotes work on the fire stick since there's no USB port?

that would be a no. oth of these require a USB dongle..
Also. I got the MX3.. dont get it, it sucks.
air mouse mode turns itself on every time the remote wakes from being dormant.. the OK button does not work for most apps unless mouse mode is turned back off.. super annoying.
the back button has the wrong mapping for the fire tv. acts likes a mouse click. - deal breaker
If you're rooted you can remap the keys and i suppose it would be better, but you will still have the problem of the thing activating mouse mode every time you touch a button after it has been dormant for a bit..

that's a bit discouraging ... this morning I'd been eyeing the bluetooth/IR Aerb IBK02
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M32PBXO/
(and there seem to be a ton of clones of this, under the usual names like FAVI -- all of them cost more, some even 2x as much lolol. always have to wonder which is the original, which has better guts, which has better quality/durability keys & touchpad, etc. etc.)
and there was one other BT/IR one I saw today, but it seemed a bit forgettable and overpriced, so I can't remember the brand/model.

I also get tempted by ones like this BT/IR, every now and then:
http://www.amazon.com/Unisen-USA-iPazzPort-Commander-KP-810-18BR-Programmable/dp/B00AQHXQLC/
again, 7 million different brands and clones and variations: RF, BT, IR, laser pointer...
the one I used to have was a Rii (was that the original company for this style?) - bluetooth+laser, it worked rather well, then after a month or two (hoever long just past the return-period expired) some of the bubble-contact-things on the PCB became permanently crunched and there was no way to recover them.
(I actually still have the thing - the charging circuit still works and the laser still works
but also BIG WARNING: the Rii I had worked great with OUYA - but it never paired once with fireTV (that annoying PIN-code-swap-fail many of us have cursed about so many, many times...)

ended up ordering the Aerb IBK-02. because reasons.
no real review yet, giving it a couple hours to charge. at which point I'll complain more or some junk
but -
k, it now claims charged, which is probably a lie, but I turned it on and played a little -
chiclet keys, I can live with. the board itself is very flexy and not solid. but key presses feel much more durable than those mini Rii/FAVI type tiny ones.
- plus: finally micro-usb! we are out of the mini-usb age!
- minus: 250mah battery. seriously??!? this may require some rocket-surgery, I have 400mah batteries small enough to fit in there.
- super-minus: the IR keys go, in order left-to-right: vol- , chan-, "ok", chan+ , vol+ ...... what in the unholy ever-living ****??!?
- minus: incomprehensible "manual" (plus I literally needed a magnifying glass to read some of it...) eh ok I'll figure it all out eventually.
- PLUS!!!: the bizarre manual mentioned the usual about possibly needing to enter PIN codes to pair, which was not encouraging. BUT! using settings.apk, it paired and connected immediately with no problem. both kbd and touchpad working great. BONANZA!!!
time for lunch, so I'll comment back later about getting the IR keys working with the TV (or not, lol)
---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------
oh, the other IR keys at the top of the trackpad (the ones I'd mentioned are at the bottom) are:
I/O aka power, "A/T" (input?), MENU, M (??!?)
but s'posedly the thing can simply learn (as apposed to "programming" standard remote codes), so you have, like, a total of 9 buttons to assign any IR function you feel like.
we shall see, but for now, lunch.

yeah... long lunch.
so - the IR key programming is pretty easy, but as the tiny-printed tiny-manual sez, you really do have to get your remote right up next to the IR radiator on the kbd - a couple times the programming failed but I think it was just pilot error me not holding the remote close/aligned enough to the kbd. I managed to program on/off and volume and input - all working well enough now, and that's all I needed.
the IR keys are active / work, even if the main power / BT switch is set to OFF. which is unexpectedly sensible/clever.
