Angry wiimote support [request]

I know sense and touchwiz (htc/samsung) phones dont support the proper bluetooth profiles for controllers like ps3 or the wiimote, but i believe we should band together and do a bounty for someone to develop such a method (kernel?) that allows for them to connect.

currently im on cognition beta 4 for galaxys2 att, so if i can stay on cognition and be able to connect to ps3 or wiimote id be forever happy!

Sure does. Personally used and loved it. (Before I bought a dual shock 3)
It works because CM7 , being an AOSP ROM, actually uses a standard BT stack. (Come on Samsung!)
With that said, I'd be in extreme favor of any Dev who could mod Samsungs BT stack to work with the Wiimote.

Ohhh yeah it does, I remember reading that. The only problem is you cant use MHL Tv out which is pretty much the whole reason I would want Wiimote support, haha. I did hear though that ICS's Bluetooth stack is modified to work with the Wiimotes, so once that rolls out, we could have both. but. only time can tell :\

Doesn't work over here for me..
I just ran across a thread in the i9100 forums that said it now works on stock CM9 but I can't get it to go.
Even if I manually enter the address of my Wiimote in Wiimote Controller, instead of the BT PIN code screen popping right up, now I get a notification in the notification bar that I have a pairing request. Clicking the notification just brings up the PIN code entry screen.

I guess both the Wiimote and MHL are working for the i9100 with CM9 and the Samsung stock ICS but doesn't work for me on the i777.. I haven't tried the latest ATT ICS leak but I may give in and try it tonight after work..
