You guys might have heard the new N64 Emulator for Android came out. I know we can't use the wiimote, but is there any other sort of device/controller that is compatible with our phones? Thank you for your time.
Its there anyway to get the wii remote or the ps3 remote to work on the epic? Is it a software or hardware limitation?

Software, once we get cyanogenmod working then it will be a go.
if there a reason that other roms don't have that support? From the looks of it cm7 will be a ways off before we see anything official.

I was wondering if those guys were going to work on this. Apparently you can use a wii mote with the Nexus S because it uses Google's bluetooth stack instead of Samsung's. We just need someone to work on making those changes for us.

Pick up an apple TV 2 for 99 bones. Jailbreak it add xbmc and there are plugins which will give you access to more than either can offer at $0 per month. Google is your friend.

I believe #2 is the newest. The 3rd Gen not out yet. Seas0npass the the jb to use. iOS 4.3 is what you want. Got mine off amazon and came with 4.3 installed. Another option is search eBay. They are selling them pre set up for around 139. Best part is they did all the work for you.

I can do the jailbreak stuff myself assuming I can downgrade if it comes with a higher version. So I'd be able to stream hulu and movies off the internet with plugins for free? Count me in

Hulu is ad central. I'm going to say Netflix wins here.
Netflix runs in every room in my house
Hmmm interesting
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'd say netflix as hulu is too jam packed with ads for the same amount cost of netflix. Wish I could get the two combined into one minus the ads.
I have hulu but cant stand paying for adds plus their website is a jungle going with netflix all the way

I had to make a choise the other day because I never used both before....
For me it came down to which has the most device support including our phone which has HDMI out to a TV and of course...
Netflix wins in this area....
So long story short....
Netflix...
I have both, when hulu plus works it works great! But the problem is getting it to work (outside of the computer, the LG tv app of Hulu plus has never worked and whenever my ps3 gets an update Hulu plus never seems to work).
Try Hulu plus out, google free month trial hulu plus and they will let you test it for a month free of charge (currently that's where I'm at and I probably won't renew it because of all the issues on ps3/LG tv).

For those looking for other options. This option would require an apple TV in each room you wanted the service but it is a small investment considering you would be able to get rid of all other services including cable or dtv. This would also include getting rid of services like vudu. Enjoy my fellow xda members.
If life was like a box of chocolates wouldn't there be a layout on the inside of the box telling you which are the good ones? Until then use Google.

I use both. Netflix, if it has it, is ad free. But hulu has all the new stuff. If you want first run programming, Hulu is the way to go. If you want movies and archived shows, Netflix.
anyone wanna share a login for my birthday? haha jk. thanks for the input guys but cash flow is not permanent for me

Roku supports plug ins out of the box. Plus it is cheaper for lower models. Also there seems to be sales on Roku on a regular basis. Lower models are not bad though.
And if so with what rom, will it work with jellybean?

Does it work or are all of these posts saying its works just repeating what they have read?
[I really dont think people should be posting answers in an FAQ if they are just repeating others words]
I have looked and looked and I can not find anything beyond the same reply: "OTG cable and dongle"
If someone can share a link/thread that shows actual success with a Bluetooth dongle and results that would be great!
Thanks!

It doesn't work, there's no driver support in any Kf ROM for any type of Bluetooth dongle.
These posters have all read it doesn't work, they just refuse to believe it.

People are getting confused here, and that's understandable.
Before Bluetooth was around and usable on PCs, you used to be able to buy keyboards with an adapter that would sit in the USB port. They would only work with that specific keyboard and nothing else. They were proprietary and use the standard USB drivers apparently - Which is why the guy who is using the dongle and keyboard in the video is able to do so.
Bluetooth on the other hand is totally different, and while you need the dongle, you also need the drivers. But I think we've come far enough that no one is going to write them.
I was wondering if this story I heard is true.

I don't see why it would be any different from a normal Fire, just different software for demoing.

He is talking about the Kindle Fires that stores use as a display, they usually have some sort of demo reel on it so it can't be used as a regular tablet.
I did this with a demo Xoom but I had to re partition it. It had a special partition that help the demo software and even when I rooted the tablet and put a custom ROM it would re install that demo software on the first boot. I found the partition info on the tablet here and seen that it was different, so I re partitioned it to the stock setup deleting the demo software and its been great ever since. I had a demo Nokia Lumina that simply flashing the stock rom removed it.
So I am sure it can be done, just may take some extra effort. Rarely are the demo units physically different that real models.
Yes you can. I got one off ebay and rooted. I was able to install the stock rom and register with amazon. I have since loaded jellybean. I did a backup of the demo software but didn't need it.

You should upload a zip of the demo software, I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in seeing it.

I never thought about it, but a good way to go buying a demo unit that 'most' people wont know how to root and install a custom rom to it.

I've looked online for adapters to use the wireless Miracast technology to link the New Droid line to HDTV's but I see a lot of mixed ideas on what works well and what is junk. I figured I'd try and start a discussion where we can get this straitened out. Anyone have any leads?
No idea on the miracast wireless display. I use the phone to download torrents and stream them to my TV via roku and app on phone called twonky.
Verizon store tried selling me a miracast adapter for $49.99

I bought a netgear PTV3000 to play with on my Maxx. It took a bit to set up (definitely need to do firmware update) and the initial connection was finicky but after that it seems pretty rock solid. Pairing is slow (like 30 seconds) and there's a definite lag (anywhere between half a second to a second or more) but for video use or general sharing it works fine. I wanted it to try a dockless system (keyboard, mouse, screen) but the lag is just too much for that.

I can report that the PTV 3000 works awesome. Watched a football game from the Sunday Ticket (with the Madden 25 deal) and it was just about flawless. Clearer than a wired connection we started with on my son's Razr Maxx.
Really impressed.

I use my Raspberry Pi and RaspBMC install and the Yatse app to send video to my TV. It's a great combo, but not as mobile as a Miracast adapter would be though.
Anyone please share the link.....looking for one...did not find at ebay....
I bought the Netgear PTV3000 from Verizon. Could not find anywhere else. It works good. I keep the phone close to the adapter to avoid choppy playback. The unit requires an HDMI cable which nobody tells you about. HDMI both ends. Total outlay ends up being $100.
