does anyone know if the wiimote app wil work if you are running cognition? the dev says it doesnt work on the captivate but it will work on the captivate if you are running something like cyanogenmod
http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller/wc-compatibility
would be cool to pickup a wiimote and use it for game roms
According to the Dev's site, it won't run because of "Samsung's Software" which could be TouchWiz, or something more like the Bluetooth drivers or software stack. Cognition always tries to be the closest thing to stock but freeing limitations and making it faster and smoother. So I doubt he removed too much Samsung software. A more aggressive rom (like Phoenix) might work or maybe you just need a different kernel/modem combo.
i have it installed, i just dont want to buy a wii remote to try it out, ill just wait until i go over to a friends that has a wii and test it out
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
Has anybody managed to get there xbox controller to run on there One yet? I tried my wired controller with the OTG cable and had no luck. Worked fine on my One X. Cant remember if i installed something else to get it to work.

No, i've tried both the xbox controller and the ps3 and none work, both with six axis app or usb bt center. I'm afraid it looks like everyone will have to wait until a custom kernel comes out that supports it.
This is an age old sense thing which has been happening since the days of the Hero, trust me i remember.
A vanilla rom and or a kernel that supports it. I think with sense it's only happened a few times where someone has been able to get it to work. I think on the Desire HD, but i might be wrong about that.
It's a real shame as it's one of the features that i was looking forward to, MHL out whilst playing tekken 3
I'm looking for a Note 3 ROM that has /dev/uinput support so I can run apps like USB/BT Joystick Center. I want to be able to use my Xbox One Controller to play games and fly drones and use the Xbox controller instead of the touch screen. There seems to be issues with stock Samsung kernals.
- Samsung: "Can't access dev/uinput". This is a known Samsung KNOX Kernal issue. You have to use a custom rom with clean kernal. Or try this fix: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53343683&postcount=105
I've done the troubleshooting suggested in the LINK, now I'm on Option 3: Find a rom with a different kernal.
hxxps://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pokes-android-apps/sME_vV9pPcE
Samsung has done something that has broken the /dev/uinput that is expected with other android manufacturer builds. I've tried AllianceROM, etc but since they are built off of the stock Note 3 firmware, they would have to fix this issue specifically like other roms have done in order to make this work. According to the above group post, non-at&t roms like 'Clean Rom' & FlexCat work, but unfortunately they do not have N900A revisions =/
Does anyone know of a ROM that does at least have a good possibility of working? I don't mind flashing a few, I just dont' want to blindly flash everything =/ Any help would be much appreciated.
If it helps I can use a ps4 controller no problem and a 360 controller as well. Have you tried pairing it like a normal Bluetooth device?

No. I wanted to stick with the Xbox One controller because I have those on hand so it wouldn't be an extra expense. Did the 360 controller connection need to be wired, or does it work wirelessly with no extra hardware?

360 was wired but ps4 was over Bluetooth.
So I'm guessing there isn't a solution other than changing my controller?
I've been trying use a Bluetooth gamepad, but ever one I've tried (I think three different ones) have given me severe input lag on the order of 4 seconds (so nothing happens for 4 seconds l, but if you hold it long enough, it will stick for another 4 seconds) Anyone else experience this?
I also tried connecting a wired Xbox 360 controller through the USB-C with an adapter, but it only seems to power it; doesn't know what to do.
It could be partially the controllers' fault. I have one of the newer Xbox One controllers with Bluetooth. I haven't tried it yet but will see when I get home.
To support the 360 controller I believe you need a key layout file or something. There's a Magisk module that claims to add it ("1 Controller")
Ok, just tried the Xbox One controller and there was no lag at all. So it's possible, just maybe need to keep trying controllers
I've tried it with two off-brand Bluetooth controllers (the kind you get on Amazon when you search Android controller), and the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. All had the same symptoms.
Hmm. From a quick Google, the Joy Cons lagging on Android seems to be a common issue, but entirely random depending on device, even ones with good ROMs like the Nexus series. Seems unlucky.
I just picked up an Ipega 9023. No lag and works beautifully. It does help having octopus installed
Loved It
Thank you
