Dear all,
if i understand that right, Bluetooth always needs two communication sites.
One Site acts as device, the other as host, in BT environment.
The Idea would be to use my Android mobile phone as Bluetooth Keyboard (mouse) to contorl the Remix Mini.
At least my Remix supports Bluetooth profile for keyboard, testet with Logitech keyboard.
I believe this comes with Android generally.
But what would be needed to use my Android mobile phone as BT Keyboard.
First at all I believe an APP (without root), which is BT keyboard profile compliant, offering the Mobile phone as Keyboard to the Remix Mini.
Has anybody experience, or is there such an APP (which does not need root) ment for that.
Most of my Apps I´m using the remotly control devices in my home, such as: TV, media Center and so on, are using Wifi interconection and using proprietary protocolls
regards Claus
could be the solution

How sad. again a software software which requires root
Hey Claus,
Greetings!
It sounds like that you want to use a remote control App with your Remix Mini. I am sorry that Remix Mini currently don't support any remote control App (e.g. Teamviewer). I've noted it down as a feature request. Please stay tuned.
Cheers

That's good to hear. Remix would definitely benefit from being controlled via bluetooth and another phone like a mouse.
Does remix os support a legit bluetooth mouse? Ive been considering ordering one from Amazon specifically for use with remix.

Does anyone know if something like this is out, or if someone is attempting it? I think it would be a great app that many people, including myself, would pay for. I don't have the know how to try and make it myself, does anyone else?
I believe the ps3 uses a proprietary bluetooth protocol and the bluetooth stack on android is not fully developed. I'd love to see it too, I have a ps3 as well. I just don't see it being likely at this point.
Here is one more vote for a PS3 controller app! I don't use it for a DVD/Blueray that much, but when I would do it would be nice. Or to control the Music player VIA bluetooth OR uPNP maybe?
that would be crazy. i had a ps3 but sold it. waiting for something better by sony.even tho "it does everything." haha.
This would be FANTASTIC!!!! I know where my phones are at all times...my remotes...not so much.
I want this! I'd pay $$ for it!

agreed.... this would be awesome.
I would be all over a ps3 remote app. I hate the official remote, I don't want 30 buttons on a remote. That's the whole reason to get the remote, so you don't have a complicated controller. And stop should reboot the ps3 everytime you accidently hit it.
bump
does anyone have the know-how to make this happen?

That looks interesting but it relies on the Bluetooth HID profile. So it should do most stuff but probably not the power. Unfortunately it's for WM and Android doesn't have a developed HID profile yet.
I'd like to state my support for this. It would be very convenient, especially for movie playback.
Wishing that the Android devs can get the speed up to fully implement the Bluetooth protocol/-s, including neccasary HID profiles. That's one of the major flaws with the entire platform - the lack of proper BT implementation!
I would love to have this too! I had MobileRemote 1.1 for my HTC Diamond (WM6.1) device, and it worked pretty well - although it seemed a bit bloaty and unstable. I believe a fresh developed application for the neat Android platform would be much better!
add me to the list. I would also pay a little $ for an app that would control videos and be a keyboard. Wish i knew how to make this happen... I could use the money.
ive got a psp but no ps3 yet (the girlfriend said its my xmas present though) so i could control some things with the psp but id rather do it on my phone
id pay for it
I find it odd with as advanced and feature rich as android is we lack proper bluetooth support. I too would love to see an app to at least provide the basic functions of selecting music/movies and ff/rw.
Id spend a few dollars on it
android.bluetooth
Wonder if Android 2.0 (SDK out now, 2.0 in Nov '09) will help out development of one of this kind of application? The developers added a Bluetooth class to the framework. I think it's mostly for file transfering, but perhaps there's some other protocols supported here too?
Anyone with knowledge, please have a loop at this package.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/package-summary.html
EDIT: About 1 minute into this video they talk about Android 2.0 BT abilites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc
"Android 2.0 includes a bluetooth API that let's apps turn on and off Bluetooth,
discover and connect to nearby devices and send and recieve data"
The BT API now enables:
"Peer-to-peer communication"
It could be possibel as long as you can connect the phone to the ps3 you just have to figure out the keyboard commands to send. The ps3 does some bluetooth keyboards.
wireless keyboard app
Someone needs to make a wireless keyboard app for ps3 xbox macbook laptop etc
I have the Logitech Revue with google tv and I was wondering if it would be possible to get that controller to work as a wifi keyboard with the NC. The revue is android and there are Apps that allow the NC to control the revue, I just want a reverse capability. Thoughts?

not sure about that, but cm7 has bluetooth and i sometimes use a bluetooth keyboard with my nook
Sent via CyanogenMod7 Encore/Tapatalk Pro
Although I'm not 100% sure about this, I've read that wifi keyboards are not supported by the Nook (or any android device, at least not anything from 2.3 and below). The hardware has to be specifically programmed to work with an app on android, and that is why the controller-type apps (like you're talking about, and also the one that allows you to control a PC) work but a keyboard wouldn't.
I've never heard that, but it doesn't apply to all android devices because my google tv is running android 2.1. I emailed the developer of the application that allows an android device to control the google tv to ask if reverse compatibility is possible. He responded asking what device in wanted to use the keyboard with. We'll see.

well cynogen mod 7 works. i havent done tuns of testing.
It becomes annyoing having to flash and test every single cappy rom.
That is the main reason why im also asking people to test it using the test app on thier roms post a reply so i can post it in the forum
https://market.android.com/details?...patibilitychecker&feature=more_from_developer
BUT asop or not it doent matter it is just a bluetooth protocol that any custum rom can have.
This looks super cool. I wish I had a playstation. Xbox controllers don't use bluetooth, do they?

im almost certian they use infared. I THINK it would be possible to play with the 360 controller with an ir dongle. sort of like how you can connect your phone and tv and use your phone as a remote. It would need a special app and dongle.

The 360 Control is not IR based. It is RF based, however it is not Bluetooth based, it is proprietary. There is a USB receiver for the controllers but it can not work directly through Bluetooth.
FYI, this has been digested and discussed on many a thread, and just to save everyone a lot of trouble: yes, you must be on CM7 or MIUI to use this. It requires a corrected Bluez bluetooth stack, which only AOSP ROMs have. For Samsung ROMs, the only controller you can use is iControlPad (which you can buy here: http://icontrolpad.com/) to use with the Bluez IME app (from the market).
Hey Guys!
I bought a Remix Mini and I'm very Happy with Design, Performance and Features. Now I only need two things but I didn't find something yet :/
1. Which Controller Works with RemixOS Mini? (Gamepad) I want to play Android Games and emulated Old Nintendo stuff. It would be great when This Controller also works as a remote/Mouse to navigate through Media Apps and Remix OS Settings. Do you know which Gamepads Work with it Well? (Bluetooth, WiFi, Funk,...) I didn't find a "Perfect" Solution on Google and other Forums...
2. Is there a remote I can use for Media Apps? For example for Kodi, Live TV/IPTV and other non-game-android-Apps? (Similar to a mouse but more comfortable)
And another question I have to ask:
My Mini has a Problem. When it's shut down or longtime on Stand-by, I Can't Wake it Up with Touch or Mouse click. This Touch function only works the first 1-2 hours. After that time it only works when I Switch Off and on the Power cable. Do you know what's the Problem?
I'm very thankful for answers!
Nice Greetings
Air mouse MX3 and KM800 works well. Can purchase it on ebay.

I need a remote similar to the fire TV remote because I use the remix mini as a HTPC. I prefer a simple remote with few buttons- Play, fast forward and rewind buttons. I don't need a keyboard or trackpad. Which remote will you recommend?
Thanks for your replies.
Hi,
Quest:
I am trying to find an easy way of controlling my Philips Android 7 TV from my Note 8 phone, using voice commands (Google), without using a separate device.
Status:
The TV does not have a built in microphone, nor does it's remote. I am also using a Rii Mini i13 remote that does have a built in microphone, but the microphone part does not work with the TV.
Question:
Does anyone know if that is possible, and if yes, how can i do it?
Thanks,
Daniel

It works fine with this remote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.bouyguestelecom.remote
Just as the official Google remote it is extremely bad at keeping connection when restarting the TV though. I have to pull the plug.
