Bluez 4.101 cannot use Wiimote Inside Plus since Ubuntu 13.04 and others

[J.G]

Hi everybody,

I tested in Lubuntu 14.04 Build "09 March 2014" (that have a kernel 3.13.0-16-generic) the use of a Nintendo RVL-CNT-01-TR Black Version (that I buy five days ago.
I have seen that bluez doesn't use correctly the 2nd generation of the Wiimote (asked always for PIN, bad detection with hid-wiimote because of bluez issues, etc)
I precise that the patch for use this new device exists since October 2012 thanks to David Herrmann works (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lin...z.kernel/31250) and you haven't yet applied it.

I applied so the patch for bluez version 4.101 (version used in Lubuntu 14.04) and setup/compiled new source code.
I add in /etc/modules the line "hid-wiimote" in order to load automatically the kernel module for me every startup of my PC.

I setup after the program XWiimote in "/usr" and add the xorg file of the project in "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" and the udev rule of the project in "/etc/udev/rules.d"

I can now use without issue the Wii Remote with his extensions (connect with blueman (push the red sync button) / disconnect with power button of Wiimote or with blueman).

Screenshots of the new version of bluez and xwiimote working perfectly on Lubuntu 14.04 :

The patch for Bluez version 4.101 :

Can you confirm us if bluez modification will be applied for 14.04 release ?

Can you make a more detailed tutorial or something to show how to install this?

This isn't necroing, I need this to work but don't really know how he did.
