There I'd this bluetooth keyboard that is on gear xs and was wondering if anyone knew if the evo would support it since its hid. Oh and I'm running cyanogenmod 6. Just google gearxs mini bluetooth keyboard.

while i dont know for 100% sure i dont see why evo wouldnt. it looks like it is just a standard bluetooth 2.0 device which should work fine.
I recommend the freedom pro keyboard with the driver downloaded from their website. It works great on all programs. I do not believe that the evo can use the HID format, however. Use SIP format. Follow the directions on the keyboard website.

Seen the freedom pro and don't really like the size of the thing. That's why I wondered about the mini keyboard I mentioned earlier. Small and fits in your palm

EVO has no HID support unless you use CM6 rom.
he is using cm6 thus why i dont see a problem
I haven't heard anything about the keyboard the OP mentioned, but I did read a tweet that said the Ipazzport Bluetooth Keyboard, which is very similar to the one the OP mentioned, does work with CM6 on the N1, so I would say there is a good chance it will work on the EVO. Here is the link to the Ipazzport:
http://www.amazon.com/iPazzPort-BLU...D-SIZED/dp/tech-data/B003URPPY6/ref=de_a_smtd
BTW, when compared with the keyboard in the OP, I think the Ipazzport is a much better buy. The Ipazzport is slightly more expensive, but it has backlit keys and has built-in media player controls.
I was going to order the Ipazzport but then I saw this which suits my needs better since it includes a trackpad (no need for a separate BT mouse):

I found one positive review but I have no idea if it will work on the EVO.

He mentioned he intends to, but for the hundreds of others that search and ask the same thing, maybe they'll see it and not post another thread.
Well I went ahead and ordered it since out was on sell and if it doesn't work I'll just use it for my ps3. I'll post what happens.

Alright that's what I wanted to hear cause I know its HID from reading on other forums about it. So only problems should be in landscape that's not a biggie.

Was looking at that yesterday when doing my searches. Gonna have to give the trial version a shot

I bought and returned the freedom pro keyboard for the evo the keys were a terrible layout and nearly all the fuctions don't work correctly on the evo. Hopefully HTC will make something that would work well for this phone
Just received my mini bluetooth keyboard, don't know the brand since there was none anywhere to be find on the box. So my thoughts are..........I like it. Still getting use to the layout, lots of. Accidental m key presses instead of n key. But overall very happy with my purchase. Using it for emulators works very well after a bit of key mapping, was able to comfortably play street fight 4 hyper with all the moves at my disposal. But yea I feel like I made a good buy and for anyone else looking for a descent mini bluetooth keyboard just google the topic its the black one with soft keys.

What details can you provide?
Looking at this: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZWGEW8/ref=mp_s_a_3?qid=1286173037&sr=8-3
Or this

you should look into Android and bluetooth HID support. A lot of bluetooth keyboards require you to use HID bluetooth profile (which is actually a pretty standard thing) but Android doesnt natively support it.
It looks like theres a way to manually get HID bluetooth keyboards to work by typing in some command switches and maybe writing a script to semi-automate it. Or there is a for-pay program y ou can download but reviews seem to suggest it may not be reliable and might be buggy.
So in short, if the keyboard uses HID bluetooth (like my stowaway/igo bluetooth keyboard) it wont work out of the box with our phones. It'll see and try to pair, but thats the end of it.
Quite sad really, as my 5 year old Dell Axim winmo phone could do it, and so does the iphone/ipad/ipod as of a few updates back...
Apparantly the galaxy s 2.2 supports HID according to an xda member ^_^

thats great! I hadn't seen that. Too bad we don't have official 2.2 yet, could've been very useful for me personally too, as I'm going oversees for 1 month next week, and am going to try and not be bring a laptop.
I sent mine back to Amazon for a refund. I truly wish it worked, the keypad is almost the same dimensions as my phone and feels decent for a keypad. But I have a HTC Incredible and the device driver won't work with the Incredible's lousy Bluetooth stack.
Has anyone been able to install Swype on their tablet? I purchased the Acer A100 tablet today and have not had any luck.
I did a good amount of research this today, and have learned that it took a few months for Swype to correct the bugs for a few other Honeycomb tablets, but they said they were not going any futher. Oh well, I'll continue with the SwiftKey app. Thanks.
Kinda got it to work
Hey, i just did the nooby thing of copying my swype apk file from my infuse that has the latest updated version like 3.26.blahblah to my tablet and installed (no root on the tablet) and boom. works perfectly fine. it doesnt do the special repositioning but its defiantly not all low ressed out of proportion and its skin it all black when it doesn't look like that on my phone. it is a bit big however (same size as the stock keyboard) but i find swyping in landscape much more comfortable then the stock or the split design swift key has.
have you guys tried slide-it keyboard? works pretty much like swype.

Eeehhh i tryed it a while back when google had there ten cent app deal amd i really found it like a watered down version of swipe with a less appealing skin and not near as good predictions.
I ran across this keyboard a few days ago. I thought I'd share
I am REALLY liking it so far; one of the reasons I went with this phone is because of the large screen. I was hoping that it would be easier on my hands; I'm dealing with an illness that is effecting my ability to use them. The layout using this keyboard definitely enhances that aspect to the Nth degree!
I believe that just because it fits so many more keys onscreen most people will find it more useful than the standard keyboard layout.
Its layout will take some getting used to but I am surprised how fast and intuitive it is to use right away.
So far the best $2.39 I have spent on an app.
here is a screenie of the portrait keyboard I use:
How can you use that keyboard it covers your entire screen lol

Yay at first was like . .uhhhhh ... but then i just tried it and then was really surprised at how easy it was to use. hehehe
I've been using this on my rooted nook dinner it was a daily give away on Amazon over a year ago, awesome on the 7 inch screen, but not as much on my then evo and now my s3. Awesome app though

Wondering if this is even possible. Ive tried the app An2An. This should let me pair the devices up via bluetooth. But they connected and when I began typing, nothing happened on the Note 2. Im running stock Froyo on the Infuse and Cleanrom on the Note2.
Any suggestions on what to do or any other apps that do the same thing, let me know. I would love to use my old Infuse as a keyboard for my Note. THanks all!
Vince.
Update:
In case anyone comes across this thread looking for a reasonable solution, I have found something that works with the app 'Blueputdroid'. It does exactly what I was wanting through a bluetooth connection. The response in typing was really fast as well. You can get the free demo app to see if it works. I suggest following the instructions from the app description to the T though. Because any wrong sequence can throw this thing off and make it not work. Also the app seems to only work using the stock Android keyboard on the transmitter side. Works fine for me and really responsive.
Now I just have to build a phone case that can house both my Note 2 and the Infuse 4g in clamshell fashion.
_------------------
Did you ever build a case? I'd be interested in seeing how it works.

Was a good evo. but ive "upgraded" love to stay on the evo i know it well. Ive Gone to a HTC one.
I refuse to ignore my evo though so just curious if anyone needs a test bedder or know of a good use for an evo without service.
You can use it for a media player. It it way better than an iPod plus it can call 911 in a pinch. I set one of mine up for my daughter. She watches netfilx, plays movies, games, facebook, etc.
Or you could use it as a backup. It is legal to clone your own device as long as you don't sell it. I have 3 phones (personal) using the same esn.

Media player would be the number one thing I would use an old device for. Although... I'm currently looking for a phone to replace my LG Optimus V on virgin mobile, and I've head you can flash this phone to virgin mobile.... hint. hint.

yea im using it for music n stuff now but the htc ones audio proccessing will blow the evo out of the water and shoot it into space and put it in orbit around jupiter lol. (not beats audio thats just software) im saying its a newer device its general an improvement.
and yea i dont doubt anything with the evo XD alot of developers have contributed alto of respectable work on the evo. heck its a miracle 4.2.2 is runnin on it the way it is XD
aaah ima miss coming to the evo 4g development threads :'D
now only if someone had a android 3.0 ROM for the evo i could just make it a lil 4.3" tablet :3...not a very powerful tablet but still...
I hope you have google music or a limited number of songs you want to put on your phone.... the htc one is a great phone, the lack of a sd card would make me never buy it, though.

Ubersonic is made for inactive devices. It's main one is for ICS, although if you want JB he does have some experimental builds in this post.

yea i had it on my evo for a while dint like it that much it was great but it felt too much like a refined just for music type deal. however id love to put android 3.0 on my evo :3 i might just put a 4.2.2 rom on it and drop the DPI to 120 and use it like a tablet XD
I am looking for something for my OG Evo as well. I have Ubersonic on it now, but it just does not play well with my bluetooth speaker, so I want to try something else.
Ideally, I'd like to slap a JB ROM on her so I can use profiles to share it with my daughter... but I'd also like HDMI out to work - which I am not so sure is possible on JB.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
I think cyanmobile has profiles. It is a highly modified gingerbread rom that has many ics/jb features added in. Everything works correctly except for mms. Which I am still working on a fix. Most users have been able to make mms work by using go sms.
