Working Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse on tnt lite

---

I was able to use the interface of the Blueinput.apk (from Teksoft) by installing it under the alternative keyboard method of moving the apk from data/apps to system/aps and then reboot. You should be able to select this "keyboard" on long press. Assuming you have already run the program with BT on and your keyboard paired and connected, (and in my case my Mogo BT mouse) you can type with your bluetooth keyboard.

The mouse has no cursor and is a bit jittery, but it works. My mouse functions as a three button mouse and the center button backs you out of a program to the home screen.

BlueInput force closes

---

Sorry to revive a slightly old thread, but I figured it would be better than starting a new one.

I tried to do this with my gtab on TnT Lite 3.1.1, but BlueInput force closes on me when I try to launch it, press the pairing button at the bottom when an input box is active, or access the keyboard settings in the settings menu.

These are the exact steps I performed:

Downloaded BlueInput version 1.7.202 from www .teksoftco. com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid&tab=download
Copied the blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk to my /sdcard/
Opened Root Explorer
Copied /sdcard/blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk
Navigated to /system/app
Mount R/W
Pasted blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk
Longpressed blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk
Permissions
Checked: User Read+Write, Group Read, Others Read
Mount R/O
Restarted gtab
Opened a text input field (Google Search widget)
Longpressed text boxt -> Input Method
Selected BlueInput
Pressed the pairing button on the bottom left (BlueInput icon)
Force Close

I've tried this with bluetooth off, bluetooth on but not paired, and bluetooth on and paired but not connected (Apple Wireless Keyboard).

Would anyone happen to have any tips as to what I've done incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I just installed 3.1.1 for the first time last night. I also just installed Blueinput from my saved APK. I ran it.. it loads fine. I then did the fix by moving the apk to /system. Ran it fine. Turned on Blue tooth. Paired my Mogo mouse just now. Went into a dialog box. Long press and select Blueinput as the keyboard (it does not render a dot in the box, but it activates it as the keyboard). Mouse works fine. I assume my keyboard will work as well. Not sure why you are getting FC. perhaps is is an old version or something. I am running BlueInput 1.6.131

@joncwchao

Did you also install the ap? I got the fc folling your steps, then i installed the app...

Did you try to install it normally first to see that this new version runs? If not, try to get the previous version install it normally, make sure it runs, then move it to /SYSTEM/APPS. Then reboot.

EDIT: I downloaded the new version 1.7 and confirm it works. I am typing with it now.

What Bluetooth Keyboard are you using? I had the Microsoft 6000, but it would not work. It would show up and act like it was working, but would only make a clicking noise. No letters would show up. Now I am using a USB keyboard which works pretty well. Thanks!

I am using a DEALEXTREME apple BT clone. Works great. Small enough but not miniture either.

Whoops

Yeah ok that was my mistake, I was moving the installer .apk instead of the installed app .apk.

Both the 1.7 and 1.6 versions work.

I'm using the official Apple Wireless Keyboard, which I got for 65.99 (WOO $4 savings on boxing day sigh).

Is there any way to make it so that it DOESN'T come up with the text input box taking up the entire screen every time I press on a text input field? I know that this BlueInput fix is (hopefully) temporary since bluetooth will be rolled into the custom firmwares eventually, but it's a little annoying lol.

go and send a text to someone and hold down in the text area for a few seconds then select input method. choose blueinput make sure you have it enabled under keyboards/languages.
