Hey all, Just wondering if there is a way to get an Xbox 360 joypad working on the Galaxy note.
I have the OTG adaptor here, But If i recall correctly, joypads only work on Honeycomb.
Anyway, Connecting it up just makes the 360 joypad ring of light flash and then nothing.
Is there an app that adds support or is it a kernal only kind of thing.
I think it would be great to get it working on it as the galaxy note is amazing for gaming and my iControlpad doesnt cut it.
Code:
I'm running Midnote3 at the moment. My wireless keyboard and mouse are recognized through an OTG cable
The wireless Xbox receiver is not though. It gets power and connects to the controller, but does nothing else.
I've seen it working on honeycomb and ICS tablets. Surely it should work on the note.
Has anyone tried with an AOSP or AOKP rom?
How are these USB-OTG devices recognized?
What files do we need to recognize additional devices?
Would it be possible to port something from the Motorola Xoom?
edit:
USB/BT Joypad Center 1.93 recognizes an Xbox 360 controller, the light stops blinking and the controller is set to "1"
It doesn't get any input though.
Does anyone have version 5 of the above mentioned app? Maybe it works on that one.
Still think it's a kernel/driver issue.
edit2:
Flashed Imilka's v08. The controller is still not recognized.
edit3:
After some Googling I found that we need xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko in /lib/modules/.
Or we need to put them on the sdcard and run:
Code:
# insmod /path/to/file/ff-memless
# insmod /path/to/file/xpad.ko
This has to be done after each boot so we should make a startup script.
However, when I try to do this with the files found in this post. I get the following error:
Code:
insmod: init_module 'ff-memless.ko' failed (Exec format error)
I think these files are compiled for the Asus eee Pad Transformer, so they will not work on the Note.
My theory is, that if we take the source files from a Ubuntu distribution like this guy here.
And compile it for the Note, we should be able to insmod xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko

Hi guys / gals... I've stumbled on a fix to make the Xbox 360 wireless controller work with our nexi..
I basically adapted this from the fix in the galaxy s3 forums. Credits go to that man!
This requires a USB wireless receiver for your controller and a USB otg adapter
Using terminal emulator type...
Code:
su
cd system/usr/keylayout
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl
chmod 0644 Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl
chmod 0644 Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl
exit
exit
Then reboot and enjoy
Have only tested on one game myself but all was working well

Nice. Not able to test it yet though, since I don't have the wireless receiver.
Any way to get it working via Bluetooth, without the receiver?
Not an Xbox controller since it doesn't use Bluetooth

Tested and is working fine on my Nexus 7. Shadow Gun is now playable =D
For those of us that don't have the wireless received the wired one works without any mods at all. Just plug in a usb-otg cable then the controller and go. Checked it on sonic 4 episode 2. Note that it may need some sort of mapping software to work with other games...

yes
Waiting for my OTG cable to arrive (hopefully today!) then I will be trying this.
Is there anything that needs to be done when I'm done using the controller? Is it safe to just unplug it?

should be fine just to unplug, nothing is mounted anywhere, basically you just reprogram the system so it knows what's plugged in.
Cool, I'll try this when I get home. I've been using a wireless 360 controller as a remote for XBMC on a media center PC. I'm gonna need to download some games first though.

This does work. I actually made a post on this in this forum a couple weeks ago. I have a video that overviews the issue as well as a video showing how to solve the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531
Some people do not have the file on their Nexus 7 for some reason. I also have attached in that thread the xbox controller keymap file that makes this work.
Hey guys, I'm coming from the GS3 forums and need your help.
Saw this before and that was really impressive.
But the main thing is, that nexus 7 supports natively the xbox 360 controller and we GS3 users would need those keyboard layout (or whatever) files to make it work with the s3. Cause personally I dont want to use mapping software, cause this is mostly crap and doesnt work properly.
It would be a giant breaktrough if you guys could help us desprate gs3 users to make the 360 controller work, no matter if wired or wireless, I have both of them^^
thx in regards

Q
works in galaxy s3 ?
been using this kernel for awhile, and pleased with it. however, got myself a brand new wired xbox 360 controller, plugged it in with USB OTG, and the controller just sit there with all 4 parts of the ring blinking. it is completely unresponsive whatsoever. no button works.
tried it on my friend's console, working fine. tested on his pc, works fine. on my pc, ditto.
it just somehow failed on my s4.
so i borrowed his wireless controller, tested on my s4, and still, same result. blinking light with no response.
done some digging around the net, strangely everyone suggest the controller should work as simple as plug-and-play. but i couldn't get which android version they were at.
disabled OTG helper, USB mass storage enabler, revoked SU permission, still no luck.
is there any explanation to this? any workaround? thanks.
EDIT: strangely enough, a cheap 8$ controller works with this s4.
but i still want to use my xbox's though
Hello,
I'm trying to connect a generic usb gamepad to my HP Touchpad (vendor:0079; product: 0006).
Right now i'm having trouble with the firmware, since android (i'm using CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 JB) does not have a module for this gamepad out of the box.
Could someone tell me how or where to get the module (the *.ko file) or compile it for my specs?
Thanks!
So after a few days of research i managed to compile the needed modules myself (feels good, man: )
Theoretically i need to insmod a hid-drff.ko module.
I did that and noticed, that i have an insufficient bus power error, even though my otg cable is powered through a Y cable (it's plugged in to the PC for testing purposes). If i run a command like echo -n 1 | tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bConfigurationValue and the hid-drff.ko module (joystick driver) is loaded the tablet reboots.
But if i run the same command without the module there is enough power. I tried only loading the joydev.ko module without the joystick driver and though the gamepad is not working on it's own the usb/bt joystick app recognizes it.
I will buy the full usb/bt joystick app anyway, because of the easy joystick setup.
But it would be interesting to know why hid-drff.ko reboots the tablet as soon as the joystick gets enough bus power?
Hello XDA Community!
I own a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 (Android 4.4.4). When I connect my xbox 360 controller with an OTG cable, nothing happends. I've tried to connect it before I start a game and while in game. It only starts blinking and nothing else happends. I can connect a keyboard/mouse to my OTG cable and it works like a charm. Is this a common problem? Can I fix it somehow? I've tried to follow some post which led me to download .kl files which I put in /system/usr/keylayout but it didn't change anything. I really want this to work.
Is there noone with any knowledge about this problem?
Hello. Your phone may not be powerful enough like a tablet to be able to run Xbox 360 controller.
And most of the game will support this out of the box without configuring like on PC games.

Well, in this video you can see it works with the i9300, I have the i9305.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrZ-xnzYVLA
And I can see my controller show up and read button activity inside "USB/BT JoystickCenter GOLD".
Basicly I think the controller communicates with my phone, but my phone doesn't understand since it's missing something?
Yes it's funny as I also got the samr model as you. Did your controller flashed rapidly like mine did? Left/Right bumper should swipe to different pages and the d-pad should select the icons you work. This didn't work either.
Try a Bluetooth controller maybe?

Mine flashed rapidly (like they always do.) and my problem is also that my bumpers doesnt swipe pages or select any icons. I have no bluetooth controller and I can get x360 controller to work with apps, such as USB/BT Joystick Center GOLD. But I dont want that, I need "native support" or w/e you want to call it. I want it to work with limelight to play games.
I decided to make this a separate thread apart from the general questions post mainly for anyone who has a similar issue, it will be much easier to follow and ask questions, as well as update it myself when I have more data.
So to begin, I wiped my Touchpad with TPtoolbox v.40, installed CM11 4.4.4 with standard gapps and philz recovery. Everything was working great and going smooth until I tried to use a USB Logitech G11 keyboard and a wireless G700 mouse with the dongle attached to the keyboard. The touchpad will recognize the first device installed to the OTG cable but nothing else I plug into it unless the first device is removed. Let me give some examples of things I have tried.
----OTG Y cable (1 male Micro USB, 1 Female Micro USB power input, 1 Female USB) powered by PC or AC Power supply----
-TP>OTG>Keyboard>Mouse dongle = Keyboard input only
-TP>OTG>Non powered USB hub>Keyboard + Mouse = input based on first device plugged in, if both are plugged in when I plug in the hub, they keyboard always loads first but the mouse does work when keyboard is removed.
-TP>OTG>Non powered USB hub> Keyboard + wireless mini keyboard/mouse combo (Rii i8) + USB flash drive = Everything works, I can type with both the USB keyboard and the mini keyboard with functional mini mouse pad as well as access USB storage. However, when I add any type of dedicated mouse, be it my G700 or wired usb G500, neither work unless I remove the other two input devices.
Cont...
Continued from First Post
Notes: The OTG cable itself works fine using several devices, whether it be flash drives, external hdd, keyboards including a Rii i8 wireless keyboard/mouse combo (touch pad feature works as a mouse with the keyboard, probably because its considered one device.) but I cannot get it to work with a dedicated mouse in conjunction with a keyboard. If I remove the keyboard, again the mouse works fine on its own. If I have the mouse plugged in first, the mouse will work fine but the keyboard will not.
Some of you might be asking, why use a dedicated mouse if I can get the mouse pad on my mini keyboard to work? Gaming
Why not use a Bluetooth keyboard? I do not wish to purchase one and I enjoy my current keyboard
Does anyone have any ideas or a solution? Its driving me insane and I really want it to work with what I have. I even tried making a DIY OTG cable, same results haha.
Update 1: I know this combination works on other devices including Galaxy S3/4/5, and a POS tablet (Envizien or some crap), it really is slow haha but perfect for web and youtube. I figured if this same setup works on all these devices, why not my Touchpad... and here I am lol. Both mouse and keyboard are HID devices so it shouldn't be a problem. I know it has something to do with the touchpad itself, be it a settings and software hack, or I simply need to try a few different roms. I know the touchpad is capable of it, I have seen videos of it being done with what I have. That is what leads me to believe it may be ROM/kernel related.
Update 2: while creating the thread: I wiped the TP again using TPtoolbox v.41 and installed Shumash's Pacman ROM 4.4.4 hoping it was ROM related. No luck. I have attached an image that the TP does indeed recognize the keyboard if I plug it in after the Mouse but I am unable to type anything. I have set the language and default layout to be sure it didn't need to be set, again with no change. I will try an older ROM next to see if it will help.
Thanks again, cheers!

Help please
Tried 6 ROMs total with no luck.
4.3.1: Evervolv
4.4.2: Evervolv
4.4.4: CM11, EOS AIO, and 2 Pac man builds
Same symptoms with each.
Is anyone here with an HP Touchpad currently able to simultaneously use a keyboard and Mouse, wired or wireless through OTG?
Quick update: while running EV 4.3.1, I tried to test it again while at work and when I plugged the Mouse dongle into the USB hub, the mouse showed up but then wouldn't let me move it. I ordered a different OTG and USB Y Cable to better replicate what someone else was using in a youtube video. I just cant see how it works on every other device but this one though.
I really have no idea what to try next so i'm at a standstill.

Yep, just did it with my latest CM11 build. If it doesn't work for you, please provide kernel log (i.e. dmesg).

My work Pc allows me to do basically nothing but visit and post on XDA, is there a way to get the log file through the tp using terminal emulator or another means through the pc without ADB?
Thanks BTW.
Edit: was able to use Terminal Emulator and will email it to myself and upload soon. I hope its what you were looking for haha.
OK attached is the dmesg using last attempted ROM, ev_tenderloin 4.4.2
Kernel Version: 3.4.80-tenderlon+

I intend to go back to your CM11 build, as It seemed to be the smoothest and most reliable of those I tried so far. Im guessing when I do, the kernel will change so my attachment may be useless, i'm not sure. Can't do it here at work though, no Novacom for TPToolbox and the SD card partition is tiny if I were to try and do it using recovery.
New Log, no fix yet.
OK, I am back on cm-11-20141125-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin , attached is the kernel log.

Did you plug in the keyboard and mouse before getting the log?
From that log, it doesn't look like you plugged in any OTG devices.

My apologies, I did not.
Added a second log:
dmesg = TP>OTG Ycable using PC usb power>Keyboard with mouse dongle plugged into the keyboard
dmesg2 = TP> OTG Y cable using AC power adapter> Unpowered USB hub> Keyboard and mouse dongle
Tried the new OTG and Y Cable seen in video that had it working. Didn't make a difference, I am guessing something is wrong with my Kernel like you mentioned. Find anything in my log that I can try and fix? @jcsullins
Thanks

I did not intend to suggest there was something wrong with the kernel.
I think the problem is you are trying to use an un-powered (or bus-powered) USB hub.
Use a (self)-powered USB hub instead.

I misunderstood, my apologies. I will look around at buying a powered USB hub. Can't seem to find any less than $20 with decent reviews, that's in Bluetooth keyboard realm.. I will look at both options I suppose. Thanks again.
Edit: I was just thinking, I had the BUS powered USB hub working with several devices at once, including the wireless mini keyboard, usb keyboard, and a USB flash drive. Wouldn't that be an indication that an Externally powered USB hub is not required? I find it strange that I can get everything to work fine except when it comes to using both a mouse and keyboard at the same time.
