Want to use your Android based phone with your Play Station 3? Pretty cool right, you can do it. Guys at XDA forums found this software by which you can use your Android phone as Play Station 3′s wireless mouse.Application is named BlueputDroid, bad news is, its gonna work on rooted Android phones (some of them) only. List of supported handsets is given below. If your device is on the list you should definitely try this and let us know how it woked for you.

Here’s how to do this :

• Download the application here
• Run the application and hit the start button
• Scroll up the log bar to check for “ERROR:” messages, if you see only messages that starts with “INFO:” it’s all ok
• If you have some errors, press stop and send to me the logs by mail: there is a helpful command in the menù Send logs to developer (second screenshot) that will do the job
• Now turn on your PS3 and go in the bluetooth devices menù
• Hit on the PS3 menù “register new device” (as in the youtube video)
• If the PS3 prompt for an ID enter “0000″, otherwise look at the ID proposed (as in the youtube video)
• Now you should receive a “pair” request to your device: accept it and enter the same code displayed on the PS3
• IMPORTANT: your device is now register but you need to do an additional step (need to fix this in the future releases)
• Hit menù from your device and press “reload devices”
• The paired devices should now appear on the bottom of the application, the PS3 should be there.
• Click on the PS3 bluetooth address and the connection should be established now: please look at the log for errors (it should says “connect to <address> succeeded” or “connect to <address> failed”)
• If everything worked you are now ready for the real test
• The Android keyboard is not (only for the moment) mapped to PS3, so you need to “manually” send input events
• The “keyboard arrows” are mapped to 4 buttons as displayed in the screenshot: use them to navigate into the PS3 menù (for example try to select the browser and the hit on the “enter” button of the application)
• Open something on the PS3 that require text input (the browser for example, as in the video)
• Now you can try to discover some keycodes by entering a numeric value in the editbox on the left of the button “send key” (for example try to insert number 35 it could be lucky ) and press/release this last.
• Have fun
