Android PS3 BD Remote & ICS Android Tablet & Any XBMC/KODI - SOLVED!
#1
After a two weeks of fighting with the many joypad softwares on android ICS I finally make PS3 BD Remote (also known as a PS3 Media Remote) to fully work with XBMC 13.2 on ICS. Work all 51 button on Android Launcher and probably on any version of XMBC/KODI (tested on 13.2). No connection problems, everything is working perfecly.

If anyone is interested in step by step guide, can post here.

OK, first of all, this will work on any Android 4.0+ device (up to 4.3 probably) that support USB/BT Joystick Center from Playstore, and the every software used is free of charge Big Grin

I am not sure if this is needed but i use this software to pair the Playstation 3 BD Remote from Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...ooth&hl=en

This remote is pinless device and can't be paired in the regular way.
Maybe this step can be skipped because the USB/BT Joycenter gold has his own bt search engine, like i said I am not sure. Because my remote is paired already.

Next, I recompiled the installation of XBMC 13.2 apk. Need to edit all .xml files in /assets/system/keymaps/ folder to remove the default keymapping, because of the conflict with newly keymapped buttons.
Sadly there is no software that is used to control the joypads (and this remote is joypadpad in android) that support this remote. Firstly I tried with the BluezIME and Bluez IME HID enabler.
I has partially success with Bluez ime (used HID keyboard profile), but about 20 keys are working, and sadly the left pad button not work (can't be mapped in XBMC), and there is no option to change the mapping in bluezIME.

For some time my remote is worked in that way, but then i found USB/BT Joysick Center on store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...free&hl=en

This software support about same type of joypads like BluezIME, but have one interrested option, and this is driver editor.
Because this remote is not supported it is nesessary to manually select joypad driver. I found that best match is iPega Controller, that respond to every button pressed, but in bad way. By default setting key can not be mapped, and moddifying driver is real pain in the a.. Big Grin. But finaly I made good driver configuration, and after mapping every remote key can be mapped to some keyboard keys.

After a good mapping, the only thing that is need to do is to download the keymapper plugin for XBMC (because the default key mapping is deleted with the modified apk) and remap all remote keys in XBMC.

That's it, everything is working nice, there is no random disconnects.

This is the modified iPega driver that u can use for USB/BT Joystick center: https://www.sendspace.com/file/jnf9oz
Just put this file in /sdcard/USBJoyGoldData

And if you are bored to manually map all 51 button this is my gen.xml from XBMC: https://www.sendspace.com/file/qbg8ja

If it is not against the forum rules, a can upload here modded XBMC apk (modded by me).

Thats it Big Grin

Good luck and if u have any questions I will be here to help.
