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

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?
I am using the official Motorola otg cable and trying to map buttons in snesoid but while the directional buttons map normally when I try to map the regular face buttons it just says unknown. I have the same experience with a ps3 controller and a 360. Does anyone have insight on this?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I had a similar issue with two wiimotes with CCs attached. Some of the keys mapped as "unknown" but they did actually work ingame. Try mapping them all without worrying about the unknowns and see if it works.
Have exactely the same problem here, and keys dont work either exept for the direcional DPAD input. Any advice?

I'm experiencing the exact same situation, I've tried with a 360 controller, ps3 controller, and a plain logitech ps3 still usb controller that the system won't even recognize. main reason i got the otg cable was for this functionality, oh well. btw are you rooted? which method did you use to upgrade to 3.1? do you have the 3G xoom or wifi only?
Hey there,
Got a wifi.
Found out that the problem is just emulator specific, in the N64 and one PSX emulator the controller works as described.
When using fpse it works perfectly and I can play games without any problems: in the Settings it tells me the key number (192 for example) instead of unknown. Must be some kind of problem in the app-key handling I think.
Tried to change the keyboardlayout of the Controller, but I cant get it to work with the other emu's.
Regards
it's there any way to map de directional buttons (cross) and the analog stick in the same setting??? there are games that are unplayable without the directionals buttons and the analog stick at the same time for example brave fencer musashi(psx) or vagrant story and any game that use the dualshock control
I searched and didn't see this anywhere else (my apologies in advance if I missed it).
Has anyone tested a PS3 controller with a TF701t yet? I have a TF101 and TF201 and with those, I could use the dock to sync up the controller (if unrooted) or Sixaxis when rooted (I went back and forth). I read in the TF700t forum that there were some major issues getting the PS3 controller to work on some of the newer firmware versions. I'd prefer to wait a few months to root and I'm willing to buy the new dock, but probably 1/2 of the reason for me to purchase the dock is to pair it with a PS3. I got much less use out of the dock with my older two tablets than I had expected.
Thanks.
Works GREAT with Dead trigger 2, with it connected to the keyboard of course.
Before 4.2.1 (I think), you used to be able to enable bluetooth, pair it, and then you could disconnect the cable and the dock altogether and as long as you didn't use the PS3 controller on a PS3 or other device, it would stay paired to the Transformer indefinitely. This didn't require root or any added applications, it worked native. Have you tried that? If you've never done it, check out some of the links for a Transformer Prime or similar.
By the way, I did order the dock this afternoon anyway, but I'd really like to know if they fixed this issue as I much prefer the PS3 controller to Moga. I am also looking very forward to Dead Trigger 2.
Will PS3 controller work with GTS series?
I'm not exactly sure what GTS series you are referring to. I know that there are a few GT Racing games around (Gameloft has some). You should be able to search by "game AND controller". Also, Nvidia's TegraZone app always lists which games it's featuring have controller support. They are mostly going to promote Tegra enhanced games, but since you have a Tegra 4 device, it's probably not a bad app to check out once in a while.
If you aren't rooted, then pretty much any game with built in controller support will work (there are a fair number of these and more all the time). Under this mode, you are at the mercy of the programmer's implementation. In some games, you can map your buttons, while in others, you will have to live with whatever mapping the dev's created.
If you are rooted, you have more flexibility. You can install the Sixaxis App which allows you to re-map buttons, but it also does a lot more than that. You can take a screenshot of a touch-based game and then pretty quickly create a layout in Sixaxis to activate the onscreen joystick and buttons. It works a lot better than it probably sounds. Most games virtual joysticks emulate an analog stick where movement is faster the further you move from center. The PS3 analog sticks can be mapped very well under most circumstances. Playing GTA3 on my tablet, the dev's gamepad support was decent, so at first I just needed to remap some buttons. There is a sequence where you need to defend someone with a sniper rifle and you don;t have a lot of margin for error. The default controller support was almost unusable in trying to control the sniper rifle. However, I created a custom profile using the GTA3 touch controls and sniping worked beautifully. Hopefully this helps you. Let me know which game you are referring to and I will try to test it for you once my dock arrives (hopefully by Friday).

Sorry, I want to mean GTA. Do GTA VC and GTA III support PS3 controller?
Both games have decent PS3 controller support. I played all of GTA3 on my tablet (a really tremendous gameplay value, based on number of hours). I had only made it about 1/2 way through the game on PC about 11 yrs earlier. I completed Vice City on PC so I haven't played the Android version. For GTA3, the stock control mapping is serviceable, although I used Sixaxis to change some of the buttons. The car and foot controls are pretty good once you spend a bit of time with it and shooting is fine too. However, zoomed in sniper rifles were broken (hopefully this has now been fixed in a patch). I got around it by doing a touch screen map in Sixaxis. If you aren't rooted, then just switch over to touch controls for the small number of places where this is required (it is forced in maybe 2 spots). Then switch back to PS3 controller afterwards. It was kind of an amazing feeling to play such a huge game, for so many hours on a tablet.
One kind of funny anecdote is that I was actually playing GTA3 on my laptop in the hospital room (11 yrs ago now) when my wife was delivering our daughter. This was during the long 10+ hour waiting period before (not during the actual delivery). That was actually the point where I stopped as I got too busy and then moved on to another game. 10 years later, and I finally finished the game on a tablet. Still married.
I don't have a New Infinity TF701, YET, but I have no issues whatsoever using a PS3 controller with my Infinity TF700. Not sure what/where you read that there were problems using a PS3 controller with the Infinity, but I've never had a single issue. I use PS3 controllers with my N7 FHD, Asus Infinity, Note 3, and Evo LTE. I've never had an issue with any of my Android devices. I'm really hoping the New Infinity works fine with a PS3 controller as well. What I like about my Infinity is hooking it up to my 55" TV via mini/micro HDMI, and playing games with my PS3 controller! If the New Infinity can't do that, then that would be a deal breaker for me!

So I know that this thread briefly touched on attaching a gamepad (I don't really care if it's Moga, PS3, xbox or whatever). My question is based on having no dock, and using CROMi-x.
The only input i have would be the power for this operation, and i'm assuming i'll use an otg on that usb cord to hook in my gamepad. Is that correct? Obviously i'd prefer to use BT so i can charge at the same time as I play, though i could forego that. Maybe i'm having a brain fart, but am i'm thinking i probably need a usb adapter huh?
Thanks,
Larry
if you connect to dock works (using usb cable).. stock rom

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.

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.
Has anyone managed to get any game controllers working in CM on the fire?
Games seem to run well on this device and it would be cool as my main gaming device.
I've tried a Wiimote, I can get it to pair and it shows as connected as a Bluetooth input device (the LEDs continue to flash, which I think is normal behaviour) but nothing works and games like GTA don't recognise it. (Wiimote Controller app doesn't support CM as its suggested it was built in back on JB + lots of outdated information out there).
I don't have a PS3 or Xbox controller to test unfortunately.
I also pulled out an old PS2 to USB converter and a couple of non official PS2 controllers, tried. This seems to partially work. It's recognised in GTA and the analogous sticks work but none of the buttons work. In the launcher some of the buttons do seem to perform actions such as emulating the home button so I think this is a mapping ussue. Any pointers on remapping buttons would be appreciated.
I would be interested to know if anyone else has tested any other controllers USB / or BT?
Thanks.
Iirc wiimotes require kernel support & we currently can not run modified kernels. Nintendo did some crap that prevents them from working with the standard unmodified BT.
So has anyone tried a PS3/4 or Xbox controller?
