So I now have my Menotek Flexible BT keyboard and my Microsoft BT 5000 mouse both connected and working on my tablet. Here is how I did it.
First, download BlueInput version 1.8 from the market and install it.
Then, if you do not have it, get Root Explorer from the market and install it if you don't already have it installed.
In Root Explorer, copy the blueinputandroid_signed_1.8.203.apk from the download directory
Navigate to /system/app
Mount RW
Paste copied file
Mount RO
Long press the blueinput android apk file and give it full user rights
Close
Reboot your tablet
Upon restart, long press a text input area so that you can set your input to BlueInput. It will look like it did not work, but it is ok.
Open BlueInput from Apps and connect to your mouse and keyboard.
You should be all set.
This also makes it so when you go to a text box it does not pop up the virtual keyboard that takes up half the screen.
I am currently running the TnT_Harmony 1.2 ROM and have both mouse and keyboard working. There is no onscreen cursor, but the mouse works very well, just watch where it highlights.
Cheers,
P
