What would you like to see ported to the Epic?

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.

[Q] [Solved] Wiimotes and Epic 4G?

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.
Sent from my PC36100

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

[Q] Wiimote/SIXAXIS Controller on t989

Has anyone had any success with getting a Wiimote or SIXAXIS controller on their t989? I've attempted to get a Wiimote to work to no avail. I haven't been able to test a SIXAXIS since I don't have one. I'm using the Gingersnap rom on my device.
Any thoughts, suggestions or solutions are welcome!

The Wiimote does not work, however I have seen that the Sixaxis controller will work very well

I've got a sixaxis controller working. You need the sixaxis app from the market. I got it to work with whitehawxx stock rooted rom and macnut's revenge. Just follow the steps on the sixaxis' dev's website and it'll work fine.

here is my video on youtube using the ps3 controller with my old white galaxy s2. http://youtu.be/23lXN3hK1nA
u need this app. this will run a test to make sure it will work for your phone, before u buy it. https://market.android.com/details?...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd
then if it says it works then just buy the app for 1.99 in the market. then u need to be rooted in order to even use this app.
hope this helps a little bit for you.

the market is telling me that the SIXAXIS app isnt compatible with my device.

The Wiimote works when using CM7

Well thanks for all your replies. I was able to get the SIXAXIS controller working. For those wondering how to get it connected, first you have to pair the device with a computer by using a tool like sixpair for linux which basically spoofs your Android device's Bluetooth MAC address on your computer's Bluetooth adapter. Once successfully paired with your computer with the spoofed MAC, the controller will easily pair with your phone.

onlive gaming on nexus 7 with ps3 controller?

hello,
I know there is a patch to make any controller playable on onlive but that is for desktop onlive correct? is there a way make it so we can use a ps3 controller on onlive on our nexus 7?? Or do i have to buy there controller to use with my nexus 7? i need something until the nyko android gamepad comes out!
any info would be greatly appreciated....
ty

As a wired controller it worked out of the box with no additional apps.
My setup being OTG adapter and a standard mini usb lead to the controller
Only tested with deus ex and saints row on onlive.
To use as a wireless controller requires the sixaxis app or similar, I've had no luck with this so far although the app makes has the option to show the wireless controller as a sixaxis so it should work.. I might test that one again..
I'm when I did try i could only navigate menus. it was like the onlive didn't accept there was a controller and came up with that message (a controller is required to play this game)
Just tested and what I've said is correct.

Install this onlive app and u can use any controller with it. Onlive will recognize them as an official controller and u can play any game. Including six axis over Bluetooth. http://db.tt/nn0hUg8e

Yes, using the patched app and Sixaxis you just need to tick the 'Enable Gamepad" option to enable native gamepads.
Not really a tutorial, but proof that it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwSW1N7rtBw

Awesome, thanks! Now I just need to have a decent internet connection I guess.

Yes it works well, this is one of the first things I did with my tablet when I got it. Now I just need to figure out how the patch was done, cause unfortunately it uses the on live version before the last which had some performance improvements. Got it decompiled now I gotta dig around in smali. I'll definitely post anything if I can isolate the patch and apply to newest version.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I install this? I have tried multiple times and it tells me that the install fails because there is a pre existing program with conflicting signatures.
Thanks in advance!!

how do you map?
So it works but the buttons are mapped in a fashion that makes is unusable - where do you properly map the buttons on the ps3 controller (don't see how within onlive)

note 3 PS3 controler

I have an UNROOTED note 3. I purchased the official Samsung OTG cable to connect my sixaxis ps3 controler to the note 3.
phone. I have sixaxis checked under language and input.I hit the ps3 button and it just flashes for a while and turns off. The phone recognized that a usb device is connected.

You still need sixaxis app. To configure everything. With root the only difference is blue tooth versus being connected through OTG.
