[Q] Best Keyboard App ? - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using the OUYA's default keyboard with the touchpad is an aweful pain. I was wondering if there is a keyboard out there that plays well with the controller (D-Pad especially). I was able to install Google's Keyboard but it is not really better than the default one. Anyone found an alternative ?

Blue Board

Ditto for blueboard.

is that the only one that works well for it or possibly the only one that works at current? swift keyboard?

Blue Board is an app that you put on your OUYA, and on your phone or tablet. Once you parent connect them, whatever you type on your phone or tablet pops up on your OUYA.
Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).

Thanks !
Thanks for blueboard. Anyone has another option that does not require to switch to a tablet or phone ?

You'll never find a good option while using the controller, your best bet is to use a phone like otheres have said, or bt keyboard I suppose.
I have a couple questions reguarding this though. Does blueboard also have touch pad function? I used droidmote on my mk802 and it was great, it had keyboard, mouse, directional, media controls, even a touch gamepad mode. Has anyone tried this on ouya yet?

Actually, for some reason, the gmail button doesnt work :-/ But the other back, home, browser, etc buttons work
Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and keyboard both work. I'm going to play around with the keyboard layout files and see if I can improve it but it works as is.
I've tried to connect my microsoft keyboard and it doesn't get seen, did you do anything specific to get it to connect?

Any specific ms models? I'm going to my local best buy in the morning... doubt they will have accessories but I'll see... I may end up with a xoom keyboard or a genuine sammy kyb if they have them in stock tomorrow...
Freedom Pro keyboard works
I decided not to link all the threads I found for bluetooth devices... A conservative count would put the number of bluetooth device threads at about 1:12... that's pretty good odds that you did not search, let alone read before posting.
Just a thought. BTW, it helps to put a topic in the thread title.

Modern Combat 3 sixaxis nexus touch profile map

Right joystick-AIM
Left joystick-move
Square-reload
Triangle-switch weapons
Circle-Crouch

help is appreciated and ill thank you for your help.
I would like to know if this works for the Moto xoom
Is there any way to map the military support icon when it's available? I'd hate to have to run to my tv just to call in an air strike! LOL

This isn't working for me. What am I doing wrong?
I downloaded the file and set it as my active profile. Set the controls in the game to analog sticks. Also made sure my input was six axis controller.
The L1 button works to shoot, and the RIGHT joystick is to aim (which only works left/right/down, will not move up). Everything else including left joystick will just fire the gun.
Any ideas?

up! It's obvius that to make this works we need to adapt the scheme for each resolution. For example, I'm trying to do this on my Nexus, but for some reason it doesn't work. This is my actual configuration:

Someone could tell me what I'm making wrong?
Up! I've done it on my own. Try it and tell me if it works! [it's just for Galaxy Nexus]

Xbox 360 controller on Galaxy nexus

Hello, i'd like to know how you can configure a 360 controller to use it on the galaxy nexus. I have a micro usb to usb host plug but the controller isn't recognized by the system by default which surprises me since google announced the compatibility since honeycomb.
thanks for your help
It works for me, however it is useless because the buttons are not mapped in a useful manner for anything lol
well maybe there could be an app to configure it somewhere, i'm gonna search and come back there if I find something.
thanks again

I use USB/bt joystick center. Works great but a little pricey.

I just wish it'd have game support.....controlling a serious game like Modern Combat 3 sucks using the touch screen.....

PS3 Remote

Is there an app that acts like a play station 3 remote? it would be nice to use my tablet or galaxy nexus to control the PS3 for movies or other things like the browser and menu.

I think he means remote, not controller.
In any case, I'd like to know as well. So far I haven't had any luck.

Yes, just set the buttons accordingly to a real PS3 controller
It's actually quite funny how it works Using you phone as a controller and tablet as console really gives a "yo dawg..." Xzibit-ish impression. However, I noticed my phone battery dies really quickly using this app.

I used the blueputdroid app....it is ok...i wish it had a keyboard so you can type in the web browser or search fields. It has a gesture remote control where you just gesture around with your finger and it draws a line with it. but i am looking for something more that has more features.

Sweet thanks, I may have to give that a try. I'll need to root my device first I guess.

[Q] is there any apps where you can connect the glide with a tablet to use keyboard?

I'm searching for a way to connect my glide to my note 10.1 so it can be easier to type without the need to buy another physical bluetooth keyboard. All suggestions welcome .
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
There was one that allowed the glide to be used as a bluetooth keyboard but unfortunately I tried it and did not work very well. It was called blue something (don't recall name exactly). Maybe it got fixed was about a year a go I tried it.

Was it a blue icon? Cos i tried out the tablet remote, and it connected easily. The problem was when I opened the keyboard and tried using special characters (/ : it just got stuck there. I heard an2an works but I haven't tried it yet.

I've heard good things about Droidmote. Haven't used it personally though.

If you have root, try LANmote.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote
You should be able to type any characters (unicode) using LANmote.
If any special characters you type doesn't work, let me know what you did and we will fix it.
Last time I tried Droidmote, it didn't support unicode..
Sorry for the late response, I have been busy lately. Droidmote didn't work well with this phone, and neither did LANmote. But LANmote has nice features. The button mapping for the physical keyboard to my tablet is off, and has a small lag to it when typing fast. Using the buttons to move about the tablet only brings up the search bar, and pressing other buttons inputs character. Using the mouse moves the cursor, but when I click on an application, it doesn't open. I do like LANmote however. It has a simple setup feature which is easy to use.

You can always change the keyboard input mode to "Send text manually", so you type all your words first and then press enter before entire string of text are sent across to the device running LANmote.

This is obviously keymapping issue. Yes, the mouse click is also related to key mapping.
I suppose you have root on your device, right?
If you can provide logs, we might be able to see why keypresses didn't work the way it should.
As far as I know, LANmote works fine and keypresses works without issue on my Galaxy Nexus.
Does Droidmote have the same keypress issue on your Android device?
because both app use similar method, if Droidmote also have same keypress problem... the issue is likely to be with your device's OS rather than the app itself.

I am glad to know someone like LANmote.
Please feel free to put a comment on market.
We are working to improve LANmote and will have a new version as soon as we are done
