yup thats true :D

defy uses CWM and this the bootmenu to boot custom rom using 2ndinit. i cant find any screenshots of what the menus do or what functions they do and in what order.

also they mention about using a sbf base by lazlo i think then flash customs roms on this base

Hey guys, I posted this in the general section but I think it would be better to post it here. Could the Xperia Play controls be used with PC games? Even with Xpadder or something similar? What would we need to make this happen?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blagus:
As I already said, you need new kernel or kernel module to enable sharing of phone's PS controls via USB.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miles Wolf:
Why via USB and not bluetooth or Wifi?

And what that does mean? xD
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
I think the original poster wanted to do this via USB to have it function as a standard gamepad, like a HID compliant device. This would require new kernel modules and thereby a new kernel to use on the device (and probably an app as well).

If you wanted to generate gamepad HID codes via communications over BT or WiFi (or over USB Debug channels) data streams, you could likely do so, but would need computer side drivers and programs, as well as the program to use on the device.

This is totally do-able. However the want for doing so is up to the individual. I personally don't have much want of it, as I already have good controllers for my PC.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blagus:
I think it would be possible to make such app as well, which would log keypresses and send them via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. But additional software would be needed on PC side too. But that's an option too, which isn't bad at all. Actually, USB HID method would be, IMO, more advanced...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace518:
I've used software that lets me use my phone as a touchpad, mouse, and media playback controller for my pc. So i dont' see why it couldn't be done. that software used wifi.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
There are a few reasons off the start. A game controller would require nearly instantaneous reaction time to work properly. Secondly, people would expect it to work nearly flawlessly with next to no work or reading on their part.

Yes, it is _TOTALLY_ do-able. However, doing it just to do it, I don't see the benefit, as I personally wouldn't use it, and I certainly wouldn't receive pay nor even praise from the community. So it fails all the tests for me to engage myself in a project. The "Benefits Me", "Benefits the larger community", and "Benefits my ego" issues. If it benefitted the larger community, maybe. However it seems the consensus is that most people have dedicated controllers already that are low cost. I don't intend to use my phone as a PC controller, as I have several game controllers (from a 360 pad, to flightsticks, to a nostromo speedpad) for my PC. I also don't currently have a need to learn the Bluetooth or WiFi stacks so this wouldn't benefit me. Lastly, any product I were to produce would have limited market, and most of the market it would be presented to would be more likely to bash it than to even click a button to say 'Thanks' for it as they download.

If somebody is interested in doing this, go for it! :D It would be a nice little experiment project to learn the coding requirements for using the BT stack as a HID device or forwarder, or the WiFi stack and how to coordinate with a client side device driver and program as well. Just personally I won't be doing this.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispyduckling:
i remember on my old sony ericsson phone w810i i could control my mouse on my pc with my fone via bluetooth with a built in app called desktop remote

so now wouldnt it be better to have the control pad on the play, use BT

to play pc games etc?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waqas:
I believe GRemote does something similar. you can use your phone as a wifi mouse and keyboard or joystick or media controller. unfortunately, its fairly expensive so not really worth it. no way i'm paying $5.00 for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdz7t8:
It would be cool to see this working.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
I remember that, haha. Unfortunately it wouldn't work very well as a gamepad, there was like a half second delay between each button press.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blagus:
I doubt BT or Wi-Fi would be good, because of the mentioned delay. SE kernel sources do have USB HID driver but I don't know is it used for USB OTG or to be used as HID on PC.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] German-Guy:
Another question.

Is any App out there where i can use the Xperia Play Gamepad for another Android Devices like my HTC Flyer?

->

Start an Emulator in my Flyer and use the Xperia Play Gamepad over Bluetooth or wifi to play the Games on the Flyer.

For iOS with Jailbreak i can use a SNES Emulator on ipad and a iPhone or iPod Touch as Gamepad/Controller.

Thanks for help and answer!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benoitb85:
The PS3 and Wii controllers use Bluetooth.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
Way to necro a thread. :p

_YES_ they use WiFi, but they aren't multi-purpose processing devices that have other priorities and background processes. They also are dedicated to doing such actions, and are engineered with that in mind.

To get it to work on the Play, as a BT controller (or WiFi, which would be even laggier), would require a kernel module to be created and installed (meaning new ROM/Kernel and likely an app as well). Then you would need a machine that has the proper HID profile enabled via BT, or a separate app to mimic a HID USB controller via WiFi.

As said before, since this thing tends to have other priorities than _JUST_ its gamepad (data synch, OS/VM GC, memory mgmt, etc), there are times when it will lag out even with a high priority on the module and associated game-controller app.

This _IS_ possible, just nobody is as excited by the idea who would be willing to code it. Honestly, if you wanted to do it as a starter coding project for via WiFi, it would be interesting to see your take on it. If you want to get your hands dirty with coding a kernel module to offer a HID profile via BT, that would be an even more elegant solution. However, it would require a bit more advanced knowledge. I haven't written any kernel modules by hand, ever. I've only adapted existing ones and patched a few on my own machines, so I'm certainly not a candidate to go after this myself.

We are not saying it isn't possible. It is. Via WiFi it just isn't a good idea (lag), and via BT would require some more involved and in-depth modifications and coding. Getting coding to set it up as a USB attached controller would probably be a bit easier and possibly even easier to code than the BT HID stack inclusions. I encourage those who think this is a good idea to try coding it themselves. I'm sure others would be interested in it (based upon this thread).

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper_Max:
I've been interested in making Android devices act as USB HID devices for a while now, just haven't devoted time to Android development, and in the case of making the Play into a USB joystick, the benefit isn't that great as others have mentioned. If you're at your computer might as well use a more comfortable gamepad - Play is better for on the go gaming when you don't want to carry an actual gamepad around. IMO anyway

I also noticed this project where someone got Android to act as a Bluetooth HID mouse/keyboard and thought about messing with it, but haven't even tried it out yet >_>

http://code.google.com/p/androhid/

But maybe that could be modified to let the play act as a Bluetooth HID gamepad, which could be paired with computers or tablets. If the Android tablet supports bluetooth gamepads you might not even need any special apps or anything on the tablet!

EDIT: Not sure what the delay would be like...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
I just got my Infuse on thursday and installed the Refuse mod on Friday, then over the weekend I installed Handcent SMS to replace the default messaging app.

It works great and all, except it doesn't save it's settings. Sometimes it will keep the last settings it had, but other times it just randomly decides it wants to pretend like I've never ran it and delete all of it's settings and shows me the release notes when I open it.

Is there anyway to get this to stop?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Grim Reaper:
It happend to me too. If its a big deal to you I use infused and it dosnt do it.

Sent with my Infused Infuse using XDA Premium App
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Frooty:
Well I guess I'll switch to Infused then. I like how you can theme Handcent and customize it a lot. I tried chompSMS since I heard it was more or less the same, but I don't like how they have ads and would rather donate money to a dev making a new ROM here than someone making an SMS app.

Is it possible to back up all of my apps/data for them and then restore them when I get Infused running? I don't really want to have to go through and download all of my apps again.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] astarling10:
I was having the same issue with Handcent and I'm using Infused 1.2.1. I got tired of dealing with having to reset all my setting and specifically the notification sound. I moved Handcent and all its plug ins onto the phone and it didn't fix the issue. Now I'm using SMS Go Pro and I haven't had any issues. It's just as customizable as Handcent IMO.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Grim Reaper:
I'm using Infused 1.2.1 and I have it on the memory card and its working perfectly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] side808:
Go sms, handcent and sms pop up all reset after short while. I got fed up changing my fonts and settings and I don't use then anymore. Very frustrating.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] astarling10:
Hmmm, interesting. I don't know how you have yours setup but it seems like you have it much like I had mine. Every time I would reboot, the icon would disappear from the dock. It also would arbitrarily change the notification sound to this weird long ass notification tone that I could not stand. I like Postbox not whatever the one it was selecting. I reflashed the ROM and wiped cache and it still did the same thing. No issues with SMS Go pro (for now) so I'm sticking with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mde2272:
I know this is a little old, but I was having issues with Handcent resetting all the time...here's how I fixed it. You have to be rooted...after you uninstall the app, go to the dbdata folder, then database. find the folder that is com.handcent, etc. Delete it, then reinstall the app. My bet would be everyone that's not having issues have only installed it once, and never uninstalled it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] infuzable:
I don't know about the settings on handcent but I use go SMS and it works awesome and is very customizable. Hope it helps.
