Ive seen some apps for iphone and the nokia n900 that turn them into a ps3 controller using bluetooth and the g-sensor and i was hoping this was possible on my fuze. it would make typing much easyer and i wouldnt haft to constantly re-charge my controller instead just bust out my phone
Agree
I would also love this app, i just want it for the typing. Using as a controller to me would just be something to show off and not really use. i know the anio can do this so its out there, im just not good with this stuff.
I can make a GUI for this. But not sure how to go about making a bluetooth driver for the PS3

im a bit of a noob but couldnt you use a computer with bluetooth to get ther drivers for the controller? i know the drivers are out there because you can get them to use the controller on a computer running on linux
A program called 'MobileRemote' will turn your phone into a bluetooth 'HID' with Keyboard and Mouse support. It works rather well, and WILL work with the PS3. Only hitch is that it won't work when the PS3 is in PS2 mode. No love for FFXI. ^^;
It won't emulate a CONTROLLER, but it's handy for firing off quick PSN messages or poking around in PS Home.
mobile remote

i dont see the use of buying something for a phone im about to change to a tilt2

Ah, well the support issue makes sense. The cost however - (It's on sale on the MS Marketplace for $2 right now) - is peanuts compared to the usefulness of the app.
I would like to use some sort of controller with my GTab for playing emulators such as: Snes9x EX
What would be the best way to go about doing this? Would a USB controller like this work? Or would any sort of Bluetooth controller work?
A wii mote + classic controller/pro is what youre looking for. Use the wii controller app to connect it via bluetooth.
Has anyone tried using a 360 Controller? I'd prefer that to the battery powered Wii-Mote + Classic controller combo.
I'd be interested to see if there are any USB controllers that work as well, that would be worth it! The Wii controller suggestion might be plan b for me, but its a good idea.
The wiimote option is honestly your best bet.. it works great and it doesnt have to be tethered to the device
I've tried a wired 360 controller. It lights up, but I can't get it to work in any application. One of the ROMS in the dev forum says it has gamepad support, but I couldn't find anyone that has gotten it to work. It's been done on other devices, so I know it's possible. Quite a shame because most of the emulators I've tried on the G-tab have amazing performance... even PS1 and N64. USB keyboards work pretty well, and are an easy-to-use alternative to a Wiimote.

which rom has gamepad support?
Is it possible to get a wired 360 ontroller working with the Note 2? I've seen it working properly with other android devices and can get the pad to work with a custom IME app but not working as a proper gamepad.
Any ideas or is it not possible with this phone with stock rom?

It is not recognised as a native gamepad on stock software. You can use it mapped with USB/BT Joystick Centre (using an IME, as you say). I've used one that way with the Note II.
There was a mod on the XDA front page last week about a mod for the Nexus 7 that allows it to be recognised as a native gamepad, that may work with the Note II also (although it was in relation to another device the brief perusal of the thread that I had made it look like it would be widely applicable).
Are there any pads that are recognised without any messing? I've seen people mention the PS3 controller with an app that gives full analog support, maybe I'll have to get one of them instead.
I've seen some drivers for the 360 pad, xpad.ko and something but couldn't get them to work with my Note2.
How many games work with them anyway?

I used the PS3 controller on my OG EVO 4G with the SixAxis.apk and it works great! It is compatible with everything because as far as the phone is concerned it sees it as another keyboard. So you can even navigate your launcher/apps with it once its enabled. You just have to download an app to your PC to change the MAC Address on your PS3 controller (very easy and straight forward and takes all of 10 seconds) and your ready to go.
I didn't know until I saw this thread that a 360 controller could be used as well. Ill have to look into that. I would rather do something that was directly connected for games because even though the PS3 Bluetooth is cool, there is a slight lag with Bluetooth. I would be interested to see if a wired controller fixed that.
I think game controllers in Android is still very much in its infancy. So many game still don't support the things, and I HATE touch screen gaming with a passion.
Once released, the MOGA will be recognized as a native controller. I'm not a T-Mobile customer but I'm sure you could buy one from them without a plan. They are set to release for approx. $50.
New games will already be mapped to this controller, I would assume that software to make this usable with older games is not too far behind.

So does it just map to key presses like the way I can get the 360 controller to work? Or can it also be used analogically? Is that a word? On the Sixaxis Controleller info it says:
Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers
Hmm, I don't think this is going to be as easy as I was expecting
PS3 controllers work as native gamepads, plug them in via USB OTG and they work without any additional software. Number of games they work in is limited however, only games that allow keymapping or that have inbuilt support for gamepads (like Shadowgun for example). If you use the Sixaxis Controller app then you can use PS3 controllers wirelessly, and also emulate touch as well, meaning the number of games that become playable with the PS3 controller increases massively - see here:

The reason I had to use the SixAxis.apk is because my phone only natively supports Gingerbread and so it needs the software. No OTG support.
I thought I was going to be able to use Joystick Center for some emulator goodness but it crashes every time I try to use it
I might have to try out my Wii remote, see if I can have some luck with that instead, although that doesn't have enough buttons for some games.

Strange, USB/BT Joystick Centre works fine for me.
You can use a Wii Classic Controller if you need more buttons for emulators (does require a WiiMote to plug into though, so cumbersome). If you can track one down the Datel Retro Wireless controller is better.
Strange. Wonder why it's not working for me. It works fine when I first run it and detects the controller but when I press back to save the settings the homescreen hangs and if I try going back to Joystick Center it displays a white screen and never does anything. I have to clear the app cache before it'll work again.
Please, I might be a little slow in understanding but just be patient with me. Just a simple question:
Is it possible to use either controller simply by connecting it with a usb without needing to root my phone? If so which one, if not both?

The Xbox 350 controller for Windows works without Root, but requires the paid app USB/BT Joystick Centre.
PS3 controller works without Root and without any additional apps.
Number of games that will work with either controller that way is quite limited though, only emulators, games with native gamepad support (Shadowgun, Riptide, a few others), and games that will allow control button mapping (like Meganoid). With Root you can do a lot more with PS3 controllers because you can use the Sixaxis Controller app to set up touch emulation, which makes many, many more games playable with the controller.
Well I finally got the controller working with joystick Center. I installed he Omega ROM and it's now working. Shame it won't work as a gamepad. My Bluetooth speakerphone isn't working perfectly with the new ROM though :S
Hmm, I tested it too and my xbox 360 wired usb controller works not the right way .....
I have the N2 smart dock station and the xbox 360 wired controller
Also I bought the BT/Joystick center, here the stick works fine but in gta 3 onlz the left stick to move and rotate works fine. no kezs to jump ......
I use wanam 1.5 rom Android 4.1.1 with redpill .10 kernel
I have tested other roms with 4.1.2 but theres the same problem.
Perhaps this is only a key mapping for the controller.
... the smart dock is awsome !
Has anyone been able to get the wireless USB dongle working via. an OTG cable? This is for a wireless 360 controller. I've seen it working on other android devices...
Moga lacks some buttons. Best hassle free controller out there right now is the onlive wireless controller. It like a cross between the ps3 and Xbox controller. Simple Bluetooth pairing. No rooting required. Downside is that it cost 50 dollars. I've bought scuf controllers though so price was OK to me.
Best controller that works out of the box via USB is a genuine Sony PS3 SixAxis controller. If you want to use PS3 controller's wireless capability you'll need to root and buy the SixAxis app which is well worth the few bucks for it.
My XBOX 360 controller works perfectly in conjunction with USB/BT Joystick Centre.
A great app and well worth the money. GTA vice city plays very well and on the Note II.
I haven't played Need for Speed™ Most Wanted yet but I expect it to change the game completely
Can anyone think of any other good uses for the controller on android as the buttons can be mapped to pretty much any keyboard stroke so im sure there some handy uses
Hey @ All
Simple Little Question.
Is it Possible to Connect the HTC ONE with the Playstation 3 for the Remote Play?!
I just want to get the Ps3 Screen on my ONE
Possible?!
There's no way... :/
Good idea though!
you need a video input card for your pc to view the ps3 screen on your pc... then use splashtop app to view your PC screen on your ONE
yeah this could be a joke sometime ago, but since splashtop uses your Lan to do the "mirroring" of you PC to you Android, if your pc can handle without problem the video input of ps3, and you have a VERY good router and conection, this joke is possible... the only and really problem are the controls, you can play in your house but only because the ps3 controller is wireless, and obviously not out of your house...
I have seen movies playing on my PC in my one, played zelda and borderlans 2 (installed on PC) on my ONE, Is not comfortable but possible, and if you manage low resolutions is a LOT more even possible XP
now imaginate someone make a virtual ps3 controller that could run from a PC, and using a bluetooth dongle can connect to the ps3 as a normal controller, then uses sixasis to asign common butons to the gamepad thru splashtop on the pc...then this joke could be even more possible... LOL i worked a lot today, I'm hella high xDDDD

i was thinking of Taking a closer look at the method of data transmission both through Wireshark ect... and DPI's i got at access to at work, not sure how feasible this idea will be, to Hi-Jack the data trasmission at a lower layer level to the ONE...... not sure the resolution would adjust the the One's screen though.
Hey guys.
trying to get an xbox one pad working on the tab s2 for my kids to play emulators.
no joy so far...
... is this actually possible yet?
I don't know, if this is possible, but I use the Asus Gamepad that is made for the Asus Nexus Player. It works fine on all my android devices.
Hope my english is good enough...

your english is perfectly fine dude.
didnt really wanna spend more cash on another pad.
i have 4 xbox one pads and also a microsoft wireless adaptor, a couple of wii pads and 2 x ps3 pads knocking about. ps3 pads have borked batts tho.
something amongst that lot must work?! :crying:
If you really wanna use your Xbox One Controller, you can use an otg-adapter to plug in the wireless-adapter of your controller. If this doesn't work for you, you have to root your device and set up the controller via an extra app. An easier way to play emulator games on your tablet is using your smartphones as bluetooth controller. For this method you don't need to root your phone. Just load the app "BT Controller" via Playstore on your phone and your tablet and follow the instructions to connect them via bluetooth and easiely setup the buttons layout. You can set up 4 smartphones as controller at the same time
Hope i could help you

the tab s2 is rooted.
i have tried it with OTG, wired and using an adaptor.
the tab sees the controller when its wired using the USB/BT joystick centre but thats as far as it goes, no key presses on the pad register.
i havent tried to use my phone as a controller, that kinda defeats the object tho', i may as well just use the tablet screen.
ok,
so it seems Play station pads with OTG function flawlessly.
bubble bobble here we come!!

I can confirm this; I use a Playstation 3 controller via OTG and an adapter regularly. I always start the Sixaxis app whenever I do, but not sure if I need to... I haven't even tried using it with blutooth, but it's an easy way to switch the IME to the controller.
