So i have a rooted xperia Ion. (Locked bootloader from Rogers in canada. LT28i)
I have since jumped to a galaxy s3 because i dropped the ion and cracked the screen all up (still registers touch and displays image)
So my intent is to mount this onto the back of my TV with an HDMI cable , and keep it plugged in/always on.
I have purchased the sixaxis app, and have it paired to a dedicated PS3 controller.
Basically I am treating it as a dedicated android gaming/movie console. Just to play android games that support controller, and emulation, plus netflix streaming/ web browsing etc.
I am going to use Nova launcher to setup a home-screen, and lock it to simplify. And with the mouse emulation, and sixaxis setup, i should have full control of my phone.
Has anyone here done this before? and if so, what tips/suggestion/tweaks would you suggest.
Hmm interesting set up . I also recommend purchasing a usb otg dongle for when friends or family members want play media from usb disks on that big screen. Acquiring either the XBMC or Plex app is also handy to stream media from device, SD or Usb disk memory to other devices. I would also recommend installing a cm10 and custom kernel for your device.... For the extra speed :s

I just installed the new Onlive app on my Arc S and it works pretty well (over WiFi anyway). The problem is the controls, the touch screen controls are just not fit for purpose, it's near impossible to play anything properly. I have the Livedock so I plugged in the Onlive control pad via the USB but it states that it's an unsupported device. Surely this Onlive controller should be supported by the Onlive app? Sony could be onto a winner with this service, imagine being able to play the latest games in HD, on TV using only your Arc, Dock and a wired controller.
It turns out that the current Onlive controller is only compatible with the Onlive console, the USB is only for charging the battery. A universal controller is on it's way so this will be possible sometime in the not too distant future, until then the service is only any use for certain games (and very patient gamers).
As the subject states, I was able to connect my WIRED XBOX 360 controller to my Note 1, Nexus 7 and Galaxy S4 Active using a USB OTG cable and play ANY games that support controller. NO mapping required - Dead Trigger, GTA, etc.
As a matter of fact, when I connect my XBOX 360 Controller, the analog stick work in the home screen and application folder.
However, with the Note 8.0.. nada. I know it's not the USB OTG cable because I can connect a memory stick to it and the Note 8.0 recognizes it.
Is there something in the Note 8.0 that prevent game controller to function?

it works with some third party apps (joy/bt center( enabling ime support but does not seem to work on it's own. seems like they disabled hid/game controller supoort or does not come factory activated game controller drivers.
the light on the controller starts blinking after a while, so something is there, but not enough to be any use.

Crap, that's not good. I didn't know that Samsung removed this specifically for the Note 8.0. Doesn't make sense at all, given that it works with pretty much all the Samsung device I own (S4, Note).
I like using the built-in support from the game (Dead Trigger) without installing 3rd party apps.
Oh well, I guess it is what it is. I may just replace my Note with the Nexus 7 then since I play games a lot.
Use ps3 controller. However there are many ways to connect xbox controller. Search in YouTube

TBH, some games might just still work out of the box,
I don't have any of those such games to try to check. (i'm more of a retro gamer)
Thing is if the USB BT/ Joy can use it then so should likely any natively supporting games that support Xbox 360 controller on android.
however for me it does not work on it's own in some of the emulators like drastic DS etc.
I know there were many topics about hidden HDMI under the cover, some people even tried to add hdmi port, I also tried to find a developer model of Xperia Play (without luck of course) with HDMI port. I know we can play videos, pictures and music through wifi in official app, but that's all I know. I also read about no MHL support even with Android 4+, cause it's a hardware problem, is it true?
So I'm asking is there any way how to play games on TV or PC for example through wifi (or something else?) or not?
It's not a hardware problem, it just doesn't exist.
There were early pre released play devices that did have HDMI out, but I don't think it's possible to get your hand on them, it would be a collector item if you can even find anyone willing to sell it.
What you should do is buy an Ouya or an Android TV stick, then use a wireless or Bluetooth controller. Or get an nVidia Shield.

Are there any roms being developed specifically for the Tab Pro 12.2? I've been following THEDEVIOUS1's thread and tried his test version for the 12.2, but it's not working and I can't post there yet. I rooted my tablet and modified the platform.xml file to get full access to my external sd card. The only thing left is to get rid of Knox and whatever else Samsung did that's preventing some apps from full functionality.

In order to use my Wiimotes with a SNES emulator I had to purchase an otg to usb adapter from Samsung and a Bluetooth dongle with a CSR chipset. This does work, but you can only play until the battery runs out. Does an adapter exist that would allow me to use a BT dongle and charge my tablet at the same time. I really love this tablet, but beginning to hate this one port for everything crap. It would be great to be able to play an emulator game with Wiimotes on a big screen. Breakout box maybe?
I have tried dozens of phone gamepad apps, ..i am looking for a way to make the s8+ an all in one gaming system now that you can use the phone while Dex is running as well. With physical gamepad triggers, collapsable handles, and screen thumbsticks, the phone can be converted into a gamepad and you would be able to play Android games and maybe even Windows games (via remote networking) and all it now needs is a type C to HDMI cable.
What i cannot find, is an app that you can install the server and gamepad apps on the same phone and have it actually work. Droidmote is possible, but requires root.
Has anyone else tried this idea? I am surprised Samsung has not considered this idea already, it would beat the crap out of hauling gaming consoles around.
