Hi everyone,
Ok, firstly, I double checked, im posting this in the correct category... Oops
My question is, can anyone suggest A rom and kernel combo for the arc that will support the display of a mouse cursor on the screen while a mouse is connected. (either via bluetooth or usb)?

I know in stock mouse worked very nicely. Now im using JJ's and even though mouse is working, the cursor is not visible, and now im thinking who the hell thought removing mouse cursor (such a cool feature!) was a good idea???
i had this issue when i got my livedock and logitech k400 keyboard, it has a mouse pad on it
i settled with arconium 8.2 and doomkernel, its fast stable and mouse+keyboard work great
really annoying having an invisible mouse lol
In the end I changed to arconium ICS and arcknight kernel. The rom I was using, Dradle Arc 5.0 (which is since discontinued) had the necessary files removed. perhaps the cursor files are bundled in with something else and accidentally got deleted????
And I totally agree, why remove the cursor, when combined with the HDMI output connected to my tv, being able to use a wiereless keyboard and mouse with a cursor from the couch is amazing!
I'm now on Stock 4.1.b.0.587 with KTG 1.41 kernel and everything works as it should.

Looking for a bluetooth gamepad that works with my captivate, currently running the latest cognition rom, I need one with a d-pad, a, b, x, y and shoulder buttons, Basically, the layout of a DS. Im gonna attempt to do a project, and need these exact buttons. Im not sure if just any bluetooth gamepad would work with android?
Thanks for the help
A keyboard might work... they seem to have some working on the i9000 over here:

I'm not sure how well they will work on the captivate
This are the news about sixaxis working in android devices.. but I've used the compatibility checker from the markent and SGS II don't have the bluetooth protocols.
Maybe anyone with Cyanogen can try it?
I remember reading that someone using MIUI got the Wii controller to work, I assume that it would work for the PS3 controller as well.
I tried it on my old Milestone and it was fun, I hope someone can get this working on the Galaxy S II.

It can connect when you are on a CM7 rom.
However, I cant figure out how to make it work correctly in game.
It works once you flash a AOSP rom (CM7 or MIUI) because the bluetooth driver is the stock one, and not the samsung one.
You can use it in emulators but not in games because devs doesn't support controllers for now (Hope it will not take too long for them to support it )
I can not even make it work 100% in emulators. Some og the buttons work, but most of them don't...
What emulators have you tried ? I tried with FPSE, Snes9x EX, and a GBA emulator and all worked !
I'm on MIUI ROM and i use fpse, psxdroid and also gameboid, all work on this emulator have to use hardware key mapping.

i will not work because samsung use a different bluetooth protocol, the only way you can use this app is use aosp rom like cm7 and miui.

Isn't that the point of replacing the Bluetooth stack? It's definitely not an hardware issue if you could just load up a new ROM and make it work.
Help! Sgs2 does not recognize the SIXAXIS, even though I changed the Bluetooth address. What can be wrong? I have CM7.
What are the steps you did to pair it with your phone ?
r34p3rex=> I don't understand what you want me to answer... I already said that the bluetooth stack was the stock one in CM7 and MIUI (so yes, it is possible to replace it), and that Samsung's firmwares has a different one that is not compatible with controllers. If your question is "Can we replace the bluetooth stack in Samsung's firmwares ?" then I don't know, I'm not a dev ^^

This is what I mean. It'd be pretty sweet if a ROM dev could incorporate the stock Bluetooth stack into their Samsung-based ROMs
IMO AOSP roms are better than Samsung's roms. Have you tried one of them ? I swear you won't regret it ! ^^
If I remember correctly (I think I read it somewhere, but not sure) the Samsung bluetooth stack has dependencies with TouchWiz (and all other things added by Samsung) so it will be too hard, maybe impossible, to just change this. I may be wrong, but I think it would already be available if it were possible...
I tried to pair the SIXAXIS controller motioninjoy program, with usb cable. I switch controller to the computer, I downloaded the drivers from the application menu and changed the bluetooth address in menu, but its not working! =S

Try with SixaxisPairTool instead of motioninjoy.
Yeah try SixaxisPairTool. Motioninjoy is weird... I tried it first and it didn't work. When I used SixaxisPairTool I realised that Motioninjoy was not entering the MAC address correctly (ie: Instead of 11:22:33:44:55:66 it was 66:55:44:33:22:11 with Motioninjoy) So if you want to use Motioninjoy try to invert the MAC address, that way, Motioninjoy would put it the right way. Weird, isn't it ? ^^
I'm not a ROM developer so sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any way to port kernels from another device? Or at least, the bluetooth stack? My friend has the Epic 4G Touch (Sprint version of our phone) and he has both MHL and a AOSP bluetooth stack on a Touchwiz ROM, which is what I want! I want to hook up my phone to my TV through HDMI for emulators, but none of the ROMS that we have so far are compatible with Sixaxis Controller or Wiimote Controller. Currently we can't have both:
Use MIUI or CyanogenMod 7 and Sixaxis works, but no MHL
Stock rom, MHL works, no Sixaxis
For what it's worth, this is the kernel he has flashed - http://androidforums.com/epic-4g-to...6ghz-oc-quadrant-4000-acs-pre-rooted-cwm.html
EDIT:
Update!
I just checked the market and it looks like the developer of the Sixaxis Controller has updated his app (yesterday in fact) so that it works with the Galaxy S II now. In celebration, here's a video of our little device playing some N64 with a Dualshock 3 - http://youtu.be/KOwQ9lqwgFQ
Subscribing to this thread for sure!
this is old news!!! its been working ever since we got cm7. i posted about this weeks ago and i already have it working with my ps 3 controller
But what the OP is saying is that with the new update to the SixAxis controller app you can use it with the stock ROM, which is the only rom that supports the MHL adapter streaming to your TV.
With CM7 you could use the Six Axis but weren't able to mirror the game you were playing on the TV.

To add to this, SixAxis controller has worked for AOSP roms (including, but not limited to CM roms) since the beginning of time. CM roms incorporated the correct BT stacks needed for SixAxis to work properly. Stock roms, for the most part, did not. I'm guessing the dev was somehow able to bypass the need for those specific BT stacks. I wonder how far the compatibility spectrum goes, now? 2.3?
i assume pairing the Sixaxis controller with BT is required?

Yea, that's not the point though. It finally works on the STOCK rom, so now you have HDMI out capabilities as well. CM7 and/or MIUI doesn't have MHL capabilities.

Yep that's correct. When you run the app, it will show your phone's bluetooth MAC address. You then plug the dualshock 3 to your computer and run a pairing app that will let you change the MAC address that the controller is paired to.

I think I read somewhere that at least Froyo is required, but don't quote me on that. I know the app works on my HD2 when it was at 2.3.2, so it goes back that far at least.

Does anyone know if this will work with beastmod 4.0?
Also anyone using an aftermarket ps3 controller or does it have to be original?
Can anyone chime in?

The app will work on all Roms that our device supports (Beastmod, Domination,CM 7,etc) but not sure if it will work with third party controllers. In theory it should though!
So I got it working, but i'm running into a problem. For n64 emulator the right analog stick it keeps triggering c-right while still working as a right analog stick. I've tried tweaking the keymapping but obviously i'm doing something wrong. Any ideas??

Hi there ! Im having a real hard time to get this working with my t989 !
when I run my Sixaxis Controller it says
Could not start driver. Check that your device is rooted and has giben permission to run Disconnected.
Im on 2.3.5 perfect stock
i though i heard that the new app work with stock now ? can anyone help me out plz ??? Thank you !!
-==-=-
Ok ! Update 1) I rooted and put a rom on my t989 and now I can use my sixaxis controller (ps3 controller) with my cell phone now !
but... for some reasons n64oid wont let me link it... it kinda freeze when im scanning for devices !! anyone else had this trouble ?
with others emu such as Snes it works flawlessly
still cant figure this out.
i have seen videos of this app working correctly on t-mobile samsung galaxy s2... mine is the white one. not that it matters... when i run it it says failed to configure bluetooth... then 2nd attempt says cant bind pipe for device... what do i do to make this work...
just emailed the developer because my friend has the same phone and it works fine on his... the only difference is the color of our devise... he has black and i have white... but the dev said that it is a known bug and he will be releasing an updated version in a couple of days... so if you have a t-mobile galaxy s2 and it is giving you these errors,.... just wait a few days because a fix is on the way as per the dev. hope this helps someone because there was nothing else on the internet about my issue.... all were reported to be working fine... and mine was not...

Are you and your friend using the same rom? Maybe your rom didn't have the correct Bluetooth libs?

Umm.. always had sixaxis compatibility? Twas 1 of the reasons I got the GS2, that n my foldable BT keyboard xD..
Worked on GB wit no issues, n usin it since I first installed ICS... donno where u got ur info but its incorrect, as for MHL, can't verify, don't got the cable, can't buy here yet n never looked at importing. But to say Sixaxis don't work on stock is a load of bull, either that or my ps3 controller is magic xD which would suck, gotta get a new 1, right anolog is startin to go loose, n I donno where to buy another "magic" controller that obviously shouldn't work in the first place as per your statement.
Hi guys,
if you've bought a samsung desktop dock for yout GNES, I've compiled a pure stock jelly bean kernel with the hdmi mirroring mode enabled for official samsung desktop dock.
If you want to test it, here is the thread and download link:

I wondered about this. When I got my GNex it had ICS and I had one of the MHL adapters from my Samsung Infuse (I think that's what it's called) and it worked flawlessly. I haven't tried this with JB yet but I wonder if this type of tweak will be needed or if it will just work. Thank you for this solution btw.

With android 4.0.4 or newer, the samsung desktop dock is recognize in a different way to mhl adapter.
The dock haven't hdmi mirroring functionality out of the box, while the mhl adapter still have it.
So, to use the hdmi mirroring with the dock, just like an adapter, is necessary thi kernel fix.
Is there any kernel out there that has this tweak allready in it, like franco kernel or lean kernel?
I cant find any information about this. Unfortunally im not allowed to post anything to the developers section.
Or is there anybody who could apply this tweak to the newest franco kernel (which im using at the moment)? Because the Kernel you posted here is the stock one without any functions and its pretty old now, right?
And what is the amount of time needed to apply this tweak to a kernel for someone who has kernel-compiling-environment? Im just wondering if this is much work?
I've got Desire Z with the original earphones with the remote on the cable.
The buttons on the earphones' cable (play, forward, backward) don't work.
I can hear the music through the earphones however, so it seems that the cable is ok.
Is it something that can be fixed in the system?
I've got CM ILWT 564

You should ask roms'developer. It works fine for me now (gen.y), but didnt worked on another rom.
Thanks.
What's gen.y? What kind of rom is that?
I'd like to try it if it work for me.
It's ICS 4.0.3 with Sense 4 (soft version).
I think it's the smoothest ROM with ICS and Sense.
