Please forgive my ignorance, I'm completely new to the Android world. Has anyone been able to root a tab to allow Wii controller access?
Searched multiple forums but could not find a definitive answer.
Thanks!
I've rooted mine, and actually thought about trying the wiimote app again. (I used it on my Nexus 1)
I'll give it a shot...
It doesn't work. I'm guessing for the same reason the Galaxy S phones won't work with it either, the bluetooth isn't compatible.
I confirm also that it doesn't work. I've tried 2 different wii controller apps. And my galaxy is rooted. It just won't sync.
Yeah I tried em both also. I'm sure the BT hardware is the same on the Tab and the SGS phones, and they don't work either. I was very disapointed when I couldn't use this after switching from my N1 to my Captivate.
10-4 thanks for giving it a shot.
One of the developers of one of the apps says it's to do with TouchWiz. Sounds more likely to be a software issue than a hardware blutooth issue, which means it could be fixed or hacked Hope!
similar issues on my T-Mobile tablet; I tried to connect a Wii controller to my tab and the wiimote app keeps telling me to enable bluetooth.
i can confirm it works well on archos 101 but not on tmo gtab
im hoping they patch this im looking forward to using it for gaming

Me to, with a hdmi out cable and a couple of wii controllers. The tab could be a neat little mini mobile gaming system. Hopefully with 2.3 or 3.0 we'll get that support. But then again I don't even know if the hardware can support a wiimote.

Any news on this? I was really hoping to play mario on my galaxy tab? : (
Anyone know of any other controller for android?
I also still waiting on some news.
Having brought Snes,Nes,Gba, psx emulators on my tab I dieing for some news.
I thought is was do to with the bluetooth stack used by Sammy?
Yes, I believe you are right about the bluetooth stack. I think our most likely option right now is to wait for the cyanogen roms to be completed for our tabs.

I wonder if it's possible to change the one that's used in a stock ROM...

Would like this to happen also.
I poked around with the Wiimote and the Tab last night and it looks like L2CAP support is needed in the kernel before this will work. I haven't built a kernel for an android device yet, so I'll leave it to the chefs to build it in.

Yes Please do!
I hope we can alter what ever needs to be altered in order to uses a WiiMote with the Samsung Tab.
Seeing that the Dell streak 7 doesn't have Hdmi out, this tablet still really is my only chance of having real Gaming emulation on the go without adding much bulk!
Has anybody out there successfully paired a bluetooth controller (either sixaxis ps3 or wiimote) with sprint galaxy tab? No problem pairing with my droid x, so I know how to pair, why is galaxy tab bluetooth so different?
As I understand it, Samsung created a half-baked Bluetooth stack for the Galaxy Tab, which doesn't support a lot of profiles.
I think the only way to get this working on the Tab would be to run a build with better Bluetooth support. I seem to recall someone saying in the CM7 thread that Wiimote works if you flash CM7. Now that we also have MIUI, I wonder if it might work there.

Thank you so much for the info. Unfortunately i have a sprint tab without their service (i only use wifi on it anyway) and reading in the forums as of yet it seems any rom (i have found anyway) seems to bug out the wifi so i am very leary of flashing until i see confirmation of it working... As of now i dont want a paperweight, as i am new to rooting/flashing and am not schooled in android programming. Again thank you so much at least now i know there is a way to fix this bluetooth issue. (i guess now i know why my bt headphones wouldnt pair either, thought they were just cheap)
Well i tried CM7 and it does work, i was able to pair PS3 controller just fine!!
The problem is that i dont like CM7 very much, if we were able use CM7 BT protocols on overcome it would be perfect

BloodyViper, are you using a cdma tab? And does your wifi work? If it does then i will gladly flash cm7. I havent had any luck finding cm7 for cdma tabs though i have only found cm7 for gsm... I have searched all forums and android dev forums for cdma cm7 and all ive found is a work in progress (miui) with no wifi.
MIUI and CM7 are works in progress for CDMA tabs. Check the Developement threads by OldMacNut he's got a small group helping him put these together.

Thank you BloodyViper I am so excited for OldMacNut's MIUI build he and his team are working on. I did just see on the thread that he might have to sell his tabs to get through a rough time he is having. Since I can't post on his thread yet can someone let him know that I am looking forward to his build and I will pray that he gets through his rough patch?
Under MIUI are you still having market issues?
I so want Sixaxis support for my Verizon SGT, This is the only thing I really care about My gf hates touch interface for gaming and so do I. If I can get my controller working, she can play Spyro and I'll be a happy man!
Go Oldmacnut Go!!

No, market app for now works fine the only downside is the batterie drain, but for me that is not really a issue. If you have a good voltage control app you can undeclock to portability and when you want to play you can overclock.

Awesome! I can't wait for MIUI you lucky [email protected] with gsm tabs already have so many options BloodyViper you make me so jealous... But then again I shouldn't be because I won my galaxy tab in a contest so I guess I'm lucky too Once I get MIUI I will post here and let everyone know how it pans out, since I'm a noob and can't yet post on development forums
Update:
Running CM7, wiimote and sixaxis work now.
Sprint SGT + CM7 = AWESOMENESS!!!!
I am looking at buying a refurbished HP touchpad (16GB version)...what doesn't work if I put Android on it? I saw a reference to the Mic, but that wouldn't be a big deal to me. Does most everything else work on this unit? Thanks!

P.S. I did do some reading, but wasn't finding a lot of info...

A little more reading should help you make up your mind.
In the mean time, CM9, which is what I am running, runs beautifully on TP. Other than the camera and the mike issue you mentioned, everything else works fine. There are a few people with sporadic wifi issues but I am not complaining with my TP's performance.
Nowadays just camera and mic don't work. Wifi can be buggy at times but its been getting better in the latest nightlies, I don't really have issues anymore.
Even with the wifi issue, most people have had success switching their routers not to use high channels, keeping them on 6 and under.
Another thing to note is that the speakers dont work so well if the screen is turned off, having a bit of a garbled sound to them. So dont plan on listening to music on it with the screen off.

Riptide works just fine. Most gameloft games work if you spoof another device in build.prop. Some EA games can be made to work with Chainfire 3D.
I got it delivered yesterday...so far cm9 works great...I had one issue with wifi, but changing the channel to 3 seems to have fixed it...pretty happy so far.
there is also software at google play that will help with the wifi issues. look up wifi fixer, free and does the trick

thats why i said maybe, cuz right now i'm too lazy to edit the build.prop or work with chainfire 3d, i am aware of it though thanks anyways
apart from that i can't think of much else wrong with cm9 android on the touchpad
It is honestly the most stable alpha I have ever used on any device, using it for a month and not a single fc/freeze.
if you can afford a tablet that comes with android, your better off with that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's perfect. Best Android ROM on any device I've had. No mic and camera, but minor, minor details.
I've just had battery 'issues' with CM9. Not really an issue, but my battery just seems to drain more rapidly than CM7 does. IE: When reading on CM9 with Aldiko for an hour, in airplane mode, it seems to drain about 20%. I guess that's normal?
CM9 works great for me on the touchpad. Only issue I personally had was not being able to hide the status bar for certain games I'd prefer fullscreen, but there are apps out there that can get rid of it.
Overall best android experience for me so far, I've got cm9 running on my Atrix as well, but that's still a bit buggy compared to this!
the magnetometer/compass doesnt work. it worked wonderful in webos, but it gets no love in android.

Sorry to veer off topic, but what do you like better in CM9 on the Atrix, compared to the current stock Gingerbread?
Back on topic, I thought that Alpha 0.6 was pretty good, then I thought Alpha 2 was awesome, and now with a recent nightly build, I think it's damn near perfect. The front camera would be nice at some point, but I don't need it right now.
awesome
I've been using android since the CM7 alpha 1 and playing around with different roms along the way since then.
I recently switched to OAT's light and tasty from the forums (CM9 based) and my TP now works just as well you'd would expect any fancy android tablet to work (without a mic or camera). Since this finally fixed my wifi issues, the tablet is now super smooth and flawless to use. Plus it has faster community updates than even the high end android tablets.
to the dude above me who's getting 2 hours of battery life, that is not normal, I can read books on aldiko for much longer than that, you should try making a backup and installing one of the most up to date releases.
Hey guys,
I just ordered my Touchpad today, should be here by the end of the week. It is used and the previous owner had ICS running on it I believe. My question is, what would you guys suggest I do once I receive it? Upgrade to JB? Any certain mods or kernels that everyone uses now? Just trying to familiarize myself with the Touchpad forums so I can get right on what I need to do once it comes in.
Thanks

There are multiple roms for hp touchpad users and each have there own weaknesses and strengths
The best way to familiarize yourself with rom types is to download the free app goomanager in the play store.
It will help you get the roms
In my perspective i beleive that the rom in the attachments is the best
It has no visible bugs and works smoothly on Hp touchpad
Mic works
Camera works- 1.3M
Cm 10 is new and beta so i would not recommend it
Try the one that is recommended in text file
Happy Flashing

Thanks a lot for the rom suggestion. Any other suggestions (from you or anyone else) regarding kernels, overclocking, any particular apps that run really well on these tablets or any apps that are great for tablets that aren't so much for phones...? If it helps, I want to use it mainly for work (attorney), like viewing and editing documents, etc.

Westlaw (Next, not classic) has a meh app (basically a glorified mobile web app), but text is much easier to read on a bigger screen. LexisNexis doesn't have one as far as I know. Google Drive is good for documents.
I don't agree that CM10 is not ready as a daily driver. I use it as one and have since the latest preview came out. That's something you will probably need to try for yourself.

I've never run Ubuntu on any hardware (Arch) and I use only CM10 on my TP, so I can't really speak to that. Maybe someone else here who is running Ubuntu on the TP can help you out. I would imagine that the software repositories in Ubuntu could be helpful, like LibreOffice or a LaTeX editor, but I'm not sure how that would work out on a touchscreen.

over clock with rom manager
95% of the apps in play will be compatibe with hp touchpad on this rom
the only app that i couldn't install is vice city
Office suite is a great app that can edit documents, powerpoints, excell sheets ext.
"There's an app for that!"
Ubuntu is too slow to use as a daily driver unfortunately.

I am thinking of releasing an app that can mirror any android devices (starting from Android 2.3 up to android 5.1) to Chromecast receiver.
Since google's Chromecast app can support quite a lot devices, I am not sure if there are still enough interests to mirror android devices with old versions？or to mirror new android devices that Chromecast app do not support?
I did develop such an app, but never released it to public, it's working quite well actually.
Please let me know if you are interested in it, and I can post free versions here.
Please , go ahead. and Let us have a look at it .

We will release a version that works on rooted devices first, just to check our native implementation for the chromecast mirroring protocol.
Yes, we also have a miracast receiver, more info will be revealed here.
Thanks for your patience on this app.
Is this still in the making? Really want to screen cast my mx3 android box to my Chromecast
@timdoggg, Yes, it's beging developed, and working very well, but right now, it requires rooting to get the audio. Can you tell me your Android version? why is google Chromecast app not working for your device?
I will try to post something in this thread late this month.

Have a rooted Nook HD+( on CM12.1 - lollipop 5.1 ) and chromecast 2015(new version). Regular casting works fine, but there is something preventing mirroring . When hitting casting selection the screen abruptly disconnects. I've tried a program called Mirrorenabler and it also will not mirror. A report by someone using CM11 and some custom rom reported mirroring working fine on Nook HD+ so its not a hardware issue. Does anyone have any thoughts ??
Thanks,
Al
In order for Chromecast app mirror to work, google play services must be installed into system partition. Your android most likely does not have it.
Our Chromecast sender app does not use Google play services, so it should work, please visit this thread later for the apk.
Hey,
I can also confirm that unfortunately on Nook HD+ on CM12.1 mirrorenabler doesn't work, nevertheless on cm11 latest built mirror enabler works great. But still both CM11 and CM12.1 for me are unstable, actually cm12.1 is worst for me getting a lot of download and apps installation slow down, on cm11 I get a lot of keyboard droppings when typing in the browser but gennerally the experience is a lot better.
So would love to test on stock (4.0.4) your app apparently with root.
Thanks

My CM12.1 on Nook HD+ is not as good as 5.01 that I previously had. If you get Trickster Mod ( to increase responsivness ) and increase read ahead buffer 768 and get Glove Xperia ( to adjust screen sensitivity if needed ) you might like CM12.1 better
