I have the 360 adapter that I use via the OTG cable. It works, but kind of?
I can scroll and access menus just fine, but no such success in game. Any ideas?
Have a similar problem with my ps3-wireless sixaxis controller... also connected via usb-otg... walking and driving works - but not perfect: f. e. viewing (up & down) is inverted - and you can't press the horn :'(

It does but have you figured out the buttons for starting missions and locking on to different targets? Can't figure them out myself... :-/

I hate when someone says something "works" but doesn't elaborate. It would help many people out.
Post your setups guys so that we can get our GTA on this weekend.
I wonder if my WiiMote controller would work.....
I have tried 2 generic wired game pads and a wired sidewinder joystick, all work with my emus, but not for GTA. Just walking/steering like mentioned before.
Same here, many pads but no one working with GTA

I'm going to try Droidmote right now. Droidmote Client is free and Droidmote server is $2.10 in the market. You install the client on your phone (hopefully it's an Android) and the server on your tablet.
Theoretically you should be able to use your phone as a remote for GTA. I will try it and then post my configuration. I hope this works.
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
So in a nutshell, I have a PC with games installed on it. I would like to be able to stream games to my phone and play with it with the PS4 controller attachment. The PS4 already has streaming options to the device, but what I'm looking for is the ability to play PC games as one does with the Nvidia Shield (and other Nvidia branded devices). With some tinkering I got the app installed but doesnt work. (really nothing more than downloading and installing the apk)
I would also like to use the PS4 controller, but I am unaware of the compatibility.
I tried out Limelight (playstore) on my htc one, nexus 7 and z3c and it works fine with my pc games, even over the internet with a good connection. It works from pc to pc(ultrabook) too. On Android I used an xbox360 controller.
Hello all! I have recently bought the Google I am cardboard, and it's
Amazing! I've found a game ( a flight sim) for cardboard, that needs to have a joystick
Connected, and asi do not have any specific android controller, I wanted to connect my ps3 controller. But there's a problem! I have connected the controller to the phone using the otg cable, and once I open the sixaxis enabler app, and tap on enable sixaxis, it sais "no sixaxis detected" . I have tried using a different controller cable ( leaving the same otg...I only have one of those. ..) , i have tried rebooting the phone, and i have also tried leaving the controller off until tapping "enable sixaxis" and also turning it on as soon as u connect it.
Also, the controller isn't getting charged when I attach it, nothing happens.
Is it the otg cable's fault? Or can I do something about it? Is there any other non-root method to connect the controller?
Thanks !!
Yo! If you are rooted you can use the sixaxis controller app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller
It has a native gamepad setting that works flawlessly. Ive been playing odd world with native game pad. It rocks on Note 4.
I'm really not sure if it would work on Cardboard. I guess if the app is native gamepad compatible then it should be OK.

Sorry. Just re read and saw Non Root. My bad.
As far as I know you should be able to pair it via Bluetooth. if you have a cable Plug it in so it registers then go to blue tooth settings. And you should see it in there.
That's how it worked on my old desire HD.
Peace
Make it easy on your self and use an Xbox 360 controller. It works without software. But plugged in. The ps3 controller needs the six as is app and has issues on its own.
That's all or get the official controller for the note 4.
Does the Xbox one controller work on Android?

I think I'll have to buy an android specific / note 4 specific controller, I don't own xbox 360 ; ( Anyway, it might be that there's a problem with the cable, might be broken, because the controller doesn't even flash the red lights ( as it should whenever it is plugged in and charging)

You can get a 360 controller pretty cheap through amazon. the only other one I would recommend is the Moga controller because it works with Modern Combat

Cool, thanks, I'll give it a look , and decide, but first I want to take the otg cable back to the shop, and test it with the shopkeeper, hoping that if we find out it's broken, he gives me a new one!

Is it possible to use two Bluetooth controllers to play games on our phone using an emulator?
Of course there is Root your phone and get sixaxis controller app. I believe you can have up to 4 controllers connected through bluetooth.
