Root Looking for a ROM with PS3 and Wii Controller support

[jmstrat]

I'm on mobster rom and I thought the ps3 would work with it but I guess I'm wrong. Is there a rom that supports these controllers? Thanks

I believe it's the kernel you need to change, not the ROM. The Anthrax kernel should have PS3 controller drivers, if I remember reading that somewhere correctly.

Yes, added functionality like this is typically made on the kernel level

Sense uses Bluetooth in some weird way that breaks Wii and ps3 support.

I believe cm9 has it working. Any aosp rom should work.

Koopa kid is correct. Although support was added in the anthrax kernels it never worked for me until aosp was available. I haven't tried with the newer ones.

It works on my ego 4g lte running sense. So its not strictly a sense issue.

I believe it worked n the OG as well

No it's not strictly a sense issue, is strictly a sense 3.6 issue

It's a Sense issue for all versions 3.6 and older. HTC seems to have added/repaired the HID profile in the bluetooth stack in later versions of Sense.

With that said, the "wiicontroller" app/IME from the market coupled with the "HID enabler" (link found in the description for the wiicontroller app) does allow a wii remote to work with Sense 3.6.

PS3 controllers over bluetooth still do not work.

HID enabler?

I saw that someone swapped the Bluetooth.apk from aosp with the sense Bluetooth. It was for a different phone though. Think I'll try tonight and report back.

 

[Rxpert83]

Just make sure to nandroid

No go for me. I just copied devils toast 7.4 Bluetooth.apk to my sd card, deleted the Bluetooth.apk on sense (root explorer) copied cm9 to system, apps and installed. I think this could work if someone who knows more about deving could look into it.

You'll probably have to set permissions

Have you gotten this to work? I tried it months ago and never made any ground.

 

[phw8558]

Any idea on what to try for permissions?

Tried bluez ime with hid enabler after changing permissions of the cm9 Bluetooth.apk to rw r r . Phone only recognizes wiimote, does not connect. :thumbdown:

 

[phw8558]

Gotta be a way to do this on sense 3.6 and above

You don't need the bluetooth apk from a CM rom (this doesn't fix bluetooth in a sense rom anyway) to get bluez IME w/hid enabler to work with a wiimote.

bluez ime w/hid enabler works on Midnight rom for me with the stock htc bluetooth stack.

I only tried it because hid enabler won't work for me. But you can connect and use your wiimote? Can you provide details of what you did and what kernel.

When I try to connect via bluez ime I get a pairing request in the notification bar that takes me to this

 

[phw8558]

Ok now it actually does say connected and the wiimote lights keep blinking. Have to restore an emulator to test.

right, at which point you need to input 0000 to complete the pairing.

It helps to have already typed in 0000 somewhere and copied it to the clipboard since once you get to that stage your IME will be the wii remote and not your keyboard.

On my original EVO the light stops blinking on the wii remote when paired, but with my EVO V it keeps blinking even though it works. At least I think that's what it did.

Thanks, somehow it connected without me putting in any password. I could map the keys in the emulator but they didn't work in game. (Nesoid) however now I can't get it to even pair without that pairing request. I will try 0000 copy,/paste however when I enter this in settings
