Hello,
I cant post on the 8.9 development page because i am a new member and i did not see a Q and A for 8.9 HD. I am just trying to connect my ps3 sixaxis controller through the OTG usb. however, it will not recognize it and i cannot use it. Is there an app or something i have to install before i can use this controller? I am not rooted, as i am not to tech savvy and i need an idiots guide to root it lol.
Thanks for the help!
You can only connect a sixasis by bluetooth as there isnt otg usb, but pairing it with the kindle(any) is not easy. Follow this guide:
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html to save the kindle bluetooth address inside the controller.
But you want to pair with a kindle not a PC and they have an utility on Google Play called Sixaxis Compatiblity Check(free) to do the pairing, and then Sixaxis Controller(it isnt free...) to play with it.
I'm trying to use this app Game Controller 2 Touch which says it is compatible with dualshock 4 and nook hd+, but it doesn't work with just ime and I haven't been able to get any support from the developer. The touch emulation works, but I want to just use the controller on emulators. Just pairing with bluetooth normally works, but there is a huge delay so I wanted to try this app since it says it stops the input lag. Can anyone else try the demo version to see if they can get it to work or know of any other ways to connect lag free with bluetooth?

Tested the free version. My findings:
The app will work with the PS3 controller via cable following exactly the instructions in config -> help section.
However, I believe bluetooth, ps3 controller, and the nook hd+ never worked before and it seems like this app does not do anything different there. Also...
It states, "A Game Controller i.e. Any Gamepad/Joystick which can be paired via Bluetooth or Connected through OTG to the Device". Nothing about being able to do bluetooth on the nook hd+ with the ps3 controller.
So I could be wrong but the only advantage of this app appears to be (in my brief test) that it can be used to assign buttons to touch only games - which also appears to be a rather horrible do-it-yourself button assign to touch areas on the screen thing.
If I'm wrong on both of those then its worth it to me, otherwise not.

Well there is a list of tested devices and nook hd+ is one of them, but he does not say how he tested it. It could be that it is just tested with an OTG cable. Is it common for even the PS3 controller to have input lag through bluetooth? If so I will just do the workaround for OTG if that is the only way to get decent input

Someone else might know about it via Bluetooth. I definitely don't know as its never been working for me.

It looks like he says his app doesn't do Bluetooth connections? That is, the controller must be enabled via bluetooth outside of the app -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47224131&postcount=31
In any case, I think before people couldn't get Bluetooth and the ps3 controller working via the mentioned app with the nook hd+ anyway. So unless that changed...
This review is found for the sixaxis app on Jan 21 2014 "Controller does not connect with CM10.1 on a Nook HD+ I'm able to write the master address to the controller using the app, however, the controller cannot connect wirelessly. Looking around on the internet, I don't seem to be the only person with this issue. It'd be fantastic if this could be fixed. Till then, two stars. "
So thinking bluetooth is still a no go.
Hello, I'm trying to connect a wii rvl-cnt-01 controller to my galaxy tab 4 via bluetooth and is just not working. ... I can't seem to figure out how to get pay the Bluetooth pin. .. since the controller doesn't require one, I've tryed all the apps in the play store and no such luck. Thanks
Hello everyone, so I was attempting to connect my Dualshock 3 (PS3) controller on my device but it seems to be impossible with the old tools that I have. For instance I've had rooted my phone successfully with TWRP + Magisk and everything work well, but the old Sixaxis controller apk or even the Sixaxis enabler apk doesn't recognize my controller or Bluetooth. The only thing that happens is some light blinking on the controller when I try to connect with USB + OTG. Did someone ever was able to make the Dualshock work on XT1926? Thank you since then.
Hiya, managed to pick up a Tab S 8.4 recently, was hoping to use it with a controller for steam link and/or moonlight game streaming. Tried to connect both an Xbox One controller and an ipega 9023 controller via Bluetooth but could not get either to work. They pair and connect to the tablet and show up as a connected controller under Bluetooth settings but they don’t do anything.
Anyone any idea if there is something in Android 6 or Samsung’s software that stops these working? If I upgrade via rooting and a custom rom am I likely to have any more success?
