Smartphones and Bluetooth

Closed

Just got a new phone today, a Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070), of course I instantly installed all sorts of apps on it, including steam and a few console emulators, along with an app that lets you connect a Wiimote as a controller via Bluetooth.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I looked up the problem, and it appears that Galaxy S doesn't natively support these bluetooth apps or USB OTG.
Is there any way to get it working anyhow? What's a good place to get started with that?

PS: I read that I would need to "root" my phone. Which I assume is somewhat like installing homebrew on the Wii. Which is easy to do if you know how, and it's easy to learn if you know the circles, but dangerous if attempted by a layman who doesn't know what he's doing. I don't know jack tits about Smartphones (just got my first one) and the circles, that's why I figured I'd ask.

Seriously, just google search "Wiimote bluetooth Android" and BAM! You have solutions everywhere.

yes, but if you search either solution in depth, it will reveal to you that Galaxy S doesn't natively support it. THAT'S WHY I ASK
You could have read the OP before simply being a twat.
