this one works, i havent tested myself

After some research I've discovered an app bundle called Droidmote Server and Droidmote Client. It claims to be working with Xperia Play's physical controls. However I haven't found any video proof, only a couple of vague xda posts.

Personally, I don't mind the touchpads not working, as long as the gamepad is responsive. How is it? When connecting, phone and tablet via Wifi HOtspot, does data get eaten up?

AFAIK it wont work via hotspot as your kinda not on the same network

It can be connected via hotspot, but i doubt it would use actual data

Then how is the connection made?

I am currently using Samy Go remote because it is the only remote that works in Tablet Mode. But my quest ion has to do with bluetooth and not wifi. I love streaming thru wifi. But why do they have bluetooth?

I'm guessing it has to do with options. I imagine not everyone has wifi.

yeah I used the remote app before. Works fine, has all the buttons the normal remote does. All of them don't fit on the screen though. You actually have to scroll up and down the remote from what I remember.

I don't BT to my TV, bt on my TV runs my keyboard.
That actually seems really cool to me. Do all sammy tvs do that?

Allot of the newer ones do. Mine does allot more MINE. Dont even need a PC for the TV now.
I have a Panasonic viera plasma instead of a Sammy set and it works great from my phone. It uses wifi to connect instead of bt.
With Allshare, I can view pics and stream music but not videos.
Comes in handy because my couches tend to eat my remotes, the phone is always in my pocket
It looks like the general consensus is that bluetooth from the phone to the tv is worthless and wifi is way more useful.
If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
I connected my phone to my google TV made by Sony. I can use it as a remote to control the TV but that's about it. I'm sure you could transfer files if you found some reason you needed to lol.

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
That works!

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)

Not to derail, but knarfies...are you using a ROM? I've been trying to get my S3 working with my AllShare Cast hub and am having no luck. Tried two ROM's.
Stuck on the black Connecting screen on my tv. Settings seems to crash during the connection. Not sure what to do or try. Been searching all over the place.
Ahhh im on the stock rooted software. No custom recovery. Your rom has the allsharecast toggle under settings?

You might want to try triangle away app that might get things working for you.
I just use the allshare cast built into the stock based roms, and connect it to my ps3 or xbox.

Yea, I actually went and bought traingle away. That didn't seem to help. I've tried different ROMs and different modems and not having much luck... I actually just got a replacement as I broke my other one. This one has the same issue.
It's like it's almost there... just Android hangs up when making the connection.
To the OP. You can purchase a MHL adapter that allows you to plug your phone into an HDMI slot on your tv.

I know this wasn't in reply to me. It is really the simple solution... but loses the wow effect of showing someone your phone screen on your HDTV wirelessly. I'd give anything to just to be able to try it out.
On another note...
Still haven't made any progress with my All Share Cast wifi hub, yet. I've tried complete stock pre-root from the factory (that's what I meant with my replacement...phone not the hub), custom roms and various modems. each time android settings seems to force close. This came straight from T-mobile.
Tried triangle away, as well. Each time I connect I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
The odd thing is, if I go back to look at AllShare Cast in settings, it shows I'm connected. However, it does not mirror and cannot receive any video I even try to share to it. The tv still thinks the hub is trying to connect.
I was so excited to use this too
edit: All ROMs I've used have been stock based (Wicked v7. Frosty's JB, and now XquiziT v40 with modem T999UVLEM)
Maybe play around with more modems tonight.

Running stock I can watch movies that are on my phone through my Xbox. PS3 too although Xbox is with one touch from the phone, with PS3 it just acts as a media server. Doesn't work for videos that aren't on the phone already, for example YouTube.
Can anyone else verify that what the OP is trying to do works?

lol are you chewing gum in the vid?
Ive also been wondering if non sony controllers will work but I dont think they will cause the sony dualshock ones use bluetooth built in to the controller and a lot of the cheap ones I've seen have their own usb reciever over a diff wireless frequency. like a usb you plug into the ps3 to make it wireless. Don't think those will work.
Just wanted to say that Dead Trigger (and some more games like GTA:VC) have native controller support and you don't have to edit the key mapping (but you can do it if you want to change something).
I have setups that fill well to Real Racing 3 and PewPew if anybody is interested.

Acro S V4L2 enabled?

Hello
I am planning to buy the Acro S soon, and I wanted to know whether the kernel on the device is V4L2 - enabled. I want to use an external webcam with the SimpleWebcam application and I also need ANT+ support so I guess I have to use the stock ROM.
This phone support ANT+.

Yes, I know that. The actual question is whether I also can get it to show me a picture from a webcam connected to the USB OTG port. I need Video4Linux 2 support enabled in the stock kernel for that.
