[GoogleCodeExporter]

If possible, the Wii-mote should be supported as well.

I have the Samsung transform ultra. I downloaded the program and the apk. I 
cannot get the wiimote to function. It recognized the wiimote but That is all. 
I have changed all inputs to wiimote but again no function. It seems to be 
inopportune at the moment. Any advice?

Got two not original Wiimotes from Great Britains eBay. Tried connecting them 
to my HTC Desire with Cyanogenmod 7 (no HTC Sense). The BT settings connection 
as well as Wiimotecontroller IME did not want to work with it - asked for PIN. 
Red a lot about what goes where - tried to enter the backwards BT MAC of both 
Wiimote and my phone, no luck. I even got some hex to string converter and 
pasted the result in PIN request window, no luck - once crashed the BT part and 
had to reboot. Then tried to get Bluez IME working. And after kinda trying 
everything for few hours, all of a sudden it connected, showing one led 
(connected as controller nr 1). And works well. But few things to work on - 
second unoriginal wiimote connects as well, but also shows and reacts as 
controller one - one led showing. Not sure, but I think I got them working by 
pressing the home key - it changes some "modes" (legacy ... not sure). 
Connection only possible when pressing the red sync button under battery cover, 
not with 1 and 2. Each time Bluez IME is activated, have to open its settings 
and connect with the red button under bat cover. If I do not open the Bluez IME 
settings, then no connection. And, dont know why, my wiimotes sems not anymore 
able to wait for connection with 1 and 2 - something gets stored in them even 
after batteries removed.
Hope this helps getting some improvements.

Hello. I'm not entirely sure how best to lodge my problem/complaint... I bought 
the Thinkgeek 8bitty controller and am trying to get it working on my Samsung 
Galaxy S2 as an all-purpose game controller. I understand how your app is 
supposed to work, I've downloaded the HID enabler and I have the the Bluez IME 
showing up. For some reason, the controller repeatedly refuses to connect. One 
of two errors then pops up. When I leave the controller to connect on its own, 
the error "connection refused" pops up after a few seconds. If I try pressing 
any buttons during this, the error  "connection reset by peer" pops up. These 
errors only occur when I switch to Bluez IME from Samsung IME. I'm in Ireland 
if that makes any difference. Any insight would be a great help, thanks.

Okay, I've tried reading all of this and I don't really know if it applies to 
me. I have a Samsung galaxy Exhibit 2 and I've downloaded the "bluezIME" app 
and the HID. enabler.apk,, but when I select bluezIME as my input method and 
try to connect to the Wii remote, it says "error unknown: 0". My phone is 
2.3.6, by the way. What do I do or is it unfixable?

Hi Kenneth, first of all thank you for your work with this app, I can see in 
this thread that you put a lot of effort in it. I have a Nexus 7 with Android 
4.2.2 and a Wiimote that shows as Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR, when I try to connect 
it I get an error that says "BT socket connect failed" is there anything I can 
do to solve this and connect the device? Thanks again for you'd help

To those having connection issues:

Wiimote uses something called HID to connect.
Unfortunately, the device manufacturers put their own version of Bluetooth 
libraries onto the devices. For Android 2.x, almost no vendors supported HID, 
so you need a custom ROM if you want HID.

For never versions (3.x+), most venders DO support HID. However, Android now 
automatically connects to paired HID devices. Even though the Wiimote connectio 
does not work, Android keeps the connection open, preventing other apps, like 
BluezIME, from connecting.

For Android 4.x+, the undocumented API that enables apps to connect with HID 
appears to have changed.

In most of these cases, you get an error message like "unknown error: 0".

As you can see Android really does not make this easy, and as I have no control 
over any of these issues, my interest in BluezIME is diminished.

If anyone can elaborate on these problems, or provide workarounds, I would 
appreciate it.

Otherwise: Sorry, can't fix it for you.

I'm trying to use Bluez IME on my new Kindle Fire HDX.  When I click on "Select 
IME", I only see English as a Keyboard Language.  How do I enable Bluez IME?  
The app says to access "Settings -> Language", which doesn't exist on the 
Kindle.  There is Settings -> Device -> Language, and there's Settings -> 
Keyboard -> Languages, but Bluez IME is not shown under either one.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying this on Android 4.4 on a 2013N7, and just get "Error: bt socket 
connect failed".
Any ideas? I'm actually trying to get the Wiimote to pair with Google Glass so 
I can try and make an immersive shooter.

Same exact issue on HP touch pad.

Original comment by rhyvio...@gmail.com on 3 Dec 2013 at 11:13

@dclar: Kindle Fires have to be rooted to change the input method. They run a 
basically locked-down version of android.
@kenneth: Dumb question, but does a BT keyboard count as a(n) HID device? Also, 
I installed the HID plugin and still get no response from my BTKB. Remapping 
with External Keyboard Helper Pro doesn't work either. Everything gives "Error: 
connection refused", I have a feeling that it's an Angry Andy. (that green 
bastard doesn't like us too much, does he?)

I just wanna use my keyboard's WASD keys instead of the DPad to play games on 
RetroArch, because the down button is a little weird and you have to press down 
harder to make it work but then you'll press both the left and the right 
buttons too.(It's a square button that has four different buttons, one on each 
side.)

Proposal for the 4.x+ problem: Read up on the Android Developer site. :P

One last thing: Does this support touchpads for joysticks? If not, it would be 
a good idea.

Sent from my unrooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 running Android 4.1.2.

Guys, if your wiimote is not working, go pester Google. They apparently changed 
the bluetooth stack for NO PARTICULAR REASON WHATSOEVER. =.=

I am having issue using the latest bluez ime wiimote with the HID enabler.  I 
am running on Lollipop on nvidia shield tablet.  I've followed these particular 
set of directions - 
http://androidforums.com/threads/bluetooth-wiimote-fix-stock-sense.692392/

After I finished step 10 in that guide, I get stuck at this particular step "2. 
Hit the menu button and click "Search for devices".  Which menu is it referring 
to?  I see no search for devices option and also when I try go to the bluetooth 
menu in settings and it automatically looks for devices, all it says is 
"Error:bit socket connect failed".

Any ideas?  I'd like to get my official wiimote paired with the classic 
controller to work for emulators but I can't seem to get past this part.

Is it possible to support the Fire TV box or Fire TV stick?  Does Fire OS 
support L2CAP now?  I sideloaded BluezIME and BluezIME-HIDEnabler.apk and it 
detects my wiimote (RVL-CNT-01, not RVL-CNT-01-TR, though I have one of those 
also).  But Bluez's "connect" button only says "BT socket connect failed".  
Specifically, I'd like to use RetroArch, as it is free software and it supports 
the most emulator cores for maximal compatibility.  Thank you.

This is the guide I followed:
