everything would be fine for me, as long as you will be able to hold the nexus one (the wiimote solution makes no sense) when you play. And there should be separate hardware buttons, because thats the whole point.
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
The idea is more of an external keyboard with a game buttons overlay.

The keyboard will be attatched to a protective case which you'll be able to put your phone in and take it out whenever you like.

So yes, you won't need to sit the phone on a table or use the on screen buttons. And the keyboard is the size of the phone, but putting the phone in the case will double the phones thickness. Is that much of an issue for you?

I'm testing out some variables now and hopefully should have a finished product in the coming weeks.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
You can use a wiimote over bluetooth, I'm sure there are other bluetooth gamepads... Google is your friend.

[Nexus One General] Forge94:
Up to how much do you reckon you would pay for one?

Pairing would be via Bluetooth if you're wondering.
[Nexus One General] miker2431:
Look into the BGP 100 gamepad. You can pair it to your N1 using a piece of software called MMG gamepro.
[Nexus One General] xanatos00:
Yup I use this too! Great for NES emulators, but yeah not enough button for other consoles.

Bubble Bobble and playing Contra bring me back ^_^
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Sounds perfect to me. Where can I order one? ;)
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I know. But the wiimote solution is a bad joke.
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
Not available yet, still under development.
[Nexus One General] bjonesy77:
how does the wiimote solution make no sense? If you've got a classic controller and a wiimote, you've got yourself a wireless controller to your SNES/NES/Genesis. The wiimote soultion is the best, and only solution at this point.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
um...the nexus one is supposed to be a "handheld" device. There is no sense at all to use a wiimote, and then have to put the nexus one on a table or something to play. It does'nt get more uncomfortable than that.

Can you imagine using this approach on the go?
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
That doesn't look bad. But it seems like this pad is hard to find...and pretty old. i don't know if it will work with the nexus one.

I really like the concept though. Only thing i don't like is the fact that you can't play in landscape mode, as the controller only holds the devices in potrait mode...
[Nexus One General] player911:

Landscape would be an issue, but I think you'd find that on any gamepad/holder you come across. Perhaps you can take the thing apart and make your own casing. I'm thinking a combination of a 2x4 and a coat hanger + some foam pads + duct tape.

Yeehaw.

I wonder if any 3rd party Wii controllers have an "All-In-One" solution. Having a Wiimote hanging off of your Wrist via wriststrap while grasping the classic controller is hell. You would think that some smart 3rd party designer would simply mix the wiimote inside a classic controller and be done with it.

[Update 1]

Looks like this is an AIO solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd-bw5UxxsA

Googled: Wireless Classic Controller

Some use a little nub to communicate to the WiiMote but this looks to communicate with the Wii Directly.

[Update 2]

Yea I think I am right. This Controller has bluetooth built in so it eliminates the use of a Wiimote in the middle. It works by using android software from the market, perhaps the same one we're used to with the Wiimotes

I have that Datel one, it's absolutely perfect. Cost me around £15-17. They're getting harder to track down for a fair price lately, so if you have the opportunity to buy one, do it!
[Nexus One General] knightnz:
I thought it was quite ingenious and worked pretty well.

I've also got a mini USB bluetooth keyboard that is roughly the same size of the N1 that I can use. I got it from some site in China, (EDIT: here) but it's one of these things:

http://www.adapt-mobile.com/multimedia/product/view/adapt_adk_100_micro_keyboard

The same thing is available under lots of different rebranded labels. It works pretty well though.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Thats actually pretty cool. I guess it would work well for some games. I kinda like the idea of having a DPAD though. I could see the keyboard getting use out of things like a USB or a Bluetooth media streamer like a Boxee (if it has bluetooth, I dunno).

I think when I grab some dough I'll pick up one of the $40 gamepads. I don't mind having to put the screen on a table or something. I love to play old school games and I travel alot. So as long as I can play and play with ease.
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
There isn't really an elegant solution with any existing Bluetooth gamepads simply because Bluetooth doesn't require a physical connection between devices, and manufacturers are of the opinion that there isn't much demand for gamepad docks for Android and iPhone. Not only that, but most games also assume you'll be using touch controls, so you're limited mostly to emulators and smaller third party developers for support for extended input methods from Bluetooth gamepads.

For now if you need a way to combine the phone and gamepad so that they operate as a single handheld unit, you can feel free to modify them, such as can be seen in this video. Kinda sucks to ruin a Wii remote like that, but there are probably other ways to do it with some velcro and Sugru that won't destroy a perfectly good controller.
[Nexus One General] miker2431:
It DOES work with the nexus one, and it DOES fit around it perfectly. Yes, the gamepad is old, but it has the perfect setup for Genesis, Super Nintendo, and the older systems. You can find one for $25 on dealextreme.com
[Nexus One General] player911:
Didn't you read my huge post linking to a 3rd party Wii Classic Controller that has the "WiiMote" guts built in, thus eliminating having a WiiMote+Classic Controller.

Also linked was a bluetooth keyboard which would provide extra keys to map for gaming plus double as a keyboard for emails or web use.

Both are better solutions then gluing a WiiMote to a Classic Controller.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
You are right, I didn't think about keyboards yet. That would also be an option...
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
The solution being asked for was not simply to combine the remote and controller into one unit, but to combine the phone and controller into a single portable unit, presumably turning it into something like a Nintendo DS or Sony PSP.

In case you missed it:

Regardless of whether you're using Nintendo controllers or third party controllers, the fact of the matter remains that the phone and controller remain separate unless you mod the controller to double as a dock for the phone, because otherwise you're just stuck with setting the phone on a table while you play. The OP is looking for a good quality gamepad that integrates with the phone to form a single unit, and there simply are none currently available.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Well, what about this one?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/08/icontrolpad-finally-available-for-order-shipping-next-week/

I seriously think that is a huge waste for the Iphone, but if the slot hole is large enough for a Nexus one... I guess we have a contender here.
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
If anyone is interested...

I'm still in the process of developing and designing a keyboard case for the nexus one and other similar sized phones. There will also be a rubber gamepad addon with plastic buttons to slide onto the keyboard when you feel like gaming.

Now that the iControl pad is out, it will probably offer a better gaming experience than my design. The advantages mine will have though is a twist-out design along with better portability and flexibility.

You won't be stuck with it only for gaming, which means you can use it for typing emails,SMS etc. and just slide on the gamepad when you need to.

Hopefully there is still some sort of interest in this product.

If so, I'll continue with it.
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
I just ordered it, so I can let you guys know how it works when I get it. I think it should work on the N1 as the dimensions are not that different from iPhone 4:

Nexus One 119 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm

iPhone 4 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm

3.8mm is, well, not a lot (around 1/7 of an inch for the metrically challenged)

[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Yep I was thinking of pledging so that I get a unit once they've started manufacturing, seems like a good deal. Out of interest, what happens to your donation if the project doesn't reach the desired amount?

If the project fails to meet the goal then nothing happens. The product isn't produced, and your account is never charged.

Hi everyone!

I used to use Gallery Enabler (later renamed into Media Hidden) to exclude folders from SD media scanning, but I seem can't find the app on Market anymore. Could anyone please post a download link to the app?

More information about the app can be found here:

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/media-hidden_gxdt.html

Thanks indeed!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seventyfivein:
You could try Pandora or Private Media as well. In my opinion pandora is better as it lets you play files without restoring them to their original location.

Otherwise a very simple way of hiding a folder from gallery is to insert a .nomedia file in the folder. Creating a .nomedia file is easy. Just open a text editor & save a blank file with the name ".nomedia".

Hope this helps.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
What does the smartass governor do?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sheek360:
smartass governor - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.

I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.

Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 352Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 352 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 528/176 kernel, it will sleep at 352/176. No need for sleep profiles any more!

i googled it lol, seems like its a bit more responsive then interactive, and it ramps down quickly too. could give some battery savings
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vw671:
What ROM's will this work with?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Deuces:
keeps cpu at/above 768mhz, will not go below until you switch off smartass gov.

liking the "sleep" enhancement, but seems like it should let the processor scale on down to 245 when idle with screen on
[myTouch 4G Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I'm running this with CM7 Nightly #16 and it's running really well. I'm getting a little more battery consumption than I do with zinx's kernel, but that could just be because I've only been using the kernel for around 2-3 hours. It may need a little more time to settle? I'm not sure, but it is definitely snappier! If it does scale down the cpu during screen off, you can't tell at all! It doesn't have any lag when unlocking like setting profiles usually does. So I'm really stoked about this kernel! Great work as always Dumfuq! This will be my new kernel for at least a few days to give it more of a chance.

PS: I'm only getting around 29 on linpack at 1.017 GHz, where as with zinx's I was getting 38's. Smartbench scores are at 1320's for productivity and 1869 for gaming. So those both beat out zinx's kernel. Just wanted to put those out there so people have some kind of a comparison point.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dumfuq:
posted a v2. The difference is frequencies are changed to match glacier frequencies instead of hero's.

The only noticable difference here is that when the screen is off the frequency scales between 245 and 368 instead of being stuck at 245.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sheek360:

I don't know what it is about this kernel but when I flash it over any version of cm7 my benchmarks are lower and continue to get lower the longer my phone is on. I,actually get better performance with no custom kernel set at 1 gigahertz than this kernel overclocked at around 1.4 gigahertz. I do get better battery life on the other hand.

if your doing it for battery life, i almost don't see the point. with the stock kernal i let my phone idle for 9 hours and still had 100% battery. been usin it all day and still have 73% lelft. i basically haven't charged it since yesterday and i can see it going til tomorrow easily. not saying this kernal isn't awesome, just don't see the point if the purpose is solely for battery life, when the stock kernal is awesome all alone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] missinglink111:
Smartass is awesome!

Like my title says, that Smartass Kernel is awesome! I flashed RC1 a few days back and my battery was drained to like 15% within 5 hours...

After I installed smartass kernel, I just did 1 day or so and I was at 35% with moderate use... I didn't even install SetCPU... I just used Smartass as governor in the Performance settings in Cyanogenmod settings...

I think that's definitely worth installing... :)

Oh you'll see that my battery is at 68 percent because I was trying to figure out how to use ddms to take a screen shot! hahah while figuring it out, I forgot that I had it plugged to the pc...
