Controller for Optimus 4X HD

Hi everyone. I'm looking for controller for Optimus 4X HD to play games like Shadowgun, Sonic 4 or GTA III (I never played this game) on my HD TV. To be honest, I'm fan of Xbox 360 controller, so maybe you know similar design controllers, which would work on mine 4X HD?

Not aware of any xbox looking bluetooth controllers but PhoneJoy might work for you, though it's a copy of a PS controller.
I think you can connect a wired xbox controller to your phone.

According to this at least the Tegra chipset should support usb controllers such as the Xbox 360 wired controller.

However from what I can gather from this forum USB OTG is not supported on the 4x. I dont know if these 2 are connected or not so maybe you should ask someone who has more experience with this phone.

The Moga Gaming Controller looks pretty good. It's also compatible with quite a few Gameloft games. I'm very tempted to buy it but it doesn't seem to be available in the UK. I would have to order shipping from US.

But does it really work? I mean, the USB host of the O4X is locked or something, so one can't use USB Sticks or USB keyboards or mouses.....

Actually it works fine only with wireless bluetooth controller(like PS3) but not with wired or receiver based wireless controller(Like X-Box).
I have PS3 wireless dual shock3 controller - all I needed to do is to connect it via Bluetooth using any app(I used SixAxis) as soon as its connected you don't need to configure anything else for above list of tegra games since they support controller by default however for other games you'll also have to create on-screen touch profile so you can play
I enjoyed hours(~4-5hrs) of game play with controller specially when connected to my 50inch tv - phone gets hot but who cares if it runs game buttery smooth until battery drains off completely
But I still feel this mhl concept is downgrade technology it would have been much better with separate HDMI port and fully functional USB port so we can have more options for USB devices simultaneously with TV viewing.

Is it maybe possible to unlock the usb host by changing something in build.prop?

I don't think it can be possible because the USB port is not able to deliver enough power to the attached device, however I think it can be possible if we can deliver power from separate source.
In any case I wont be able to use TV-Out function and USB devices simultaneously since both uses same usb port.

It might work... On my old tablet, I simply connected a USB hub to it and then I could use my USB keyboard and mouse @ the same time... plus i wanted to watch a movie that I had on my USB stick, so I also connected it to the hub and the keyboard, the mouse and the USB stick were working... so if we could get the USB port working, this should work too...

Thanks for sharing your experience however can you confirm the same with 4X HD that hdmi is working with any other device like mouse using usb hub?

I tried mouse alone and it doesn't work.... it's because the USB hub is locked or something... although hdmi should work...

Due to how 5-pin MHL works, you can only do either HDMI out or USB at any given time. You cannot ever do both simultaneously.

i bought this one.. unfortunately...
i recently bought a bluetooth ps3 compatible controller for 10€ on amazon (not allowed to post links, <10 posts)
search amazon-de for "DualShock Wireless Bluetooth Game Controller-Golden" by "generic"
well at least it says "bluetooth" in the description and on a sticker glued to the thing.
i havent been able to register a bluetooth signal from this, be it on the phone or on the pc with a usb bt dongle.
so i guess it in reality is a 2.4GHz Wireless pad (not bluetooth) or its just broken.
i wont send it back, because i pity the seller, he sent me this for 10€ from the USA.
i think that the production costs and delivery ate up the 10€, he probably put in the wrong price for his offer, so i let it be.
but i will test this on a real ps3 today and if its not working i put it into the trashcan and let you know.
still wasnt able to connect even a wiimote to my phone, but thats perhaps because the only wiimote i got here and that wasnt grabbed by my niece is a bit broken (doesnt sync anymore when pressing 1+2, only when i press the buttons next to the batteries, and that doesnt seem to work)
so i still search for a way to connect a controller to my phone without buying an original ps3 controller for 45€

Is there any USB receiver for your new controller? B'cause I have Thrustmaster 2.4GHz wireless PS3 controller but it had receiver so all 2.4GHz controller will have a separate receiver (Like small pendrive) which will receive controller signals. If not then it should be bluetooth controller.
Also phones default bluetooth app will not search your device no matter what you press on your controller, to pair your new controller you have to have bluetooth controller pairing app - I am using "SixAxis Controller" without which my Original PS3 Bluetooth Controller is useless.
Also any bluetooth controller should work it doesnt need to be PS3.
If you need any more details just search about it, if anything specific you can always ask me here.

yesyes
I have the Sixaxis Controller app, but as i said the controller isnt recognized even by the pc.
but you are right, theres no receiver, so it should be bluetooth.
oh my, i guess its broken and useless in the end
what else did i expect from a 10€ offer...
but still i will try it on a ps3 today.
maybe theres some sort of magic and it works^^

yay!
Well, magic it was.
I just had to use the "Sixaxis pair tool"
Connecting is done like that:
1. Start Sixaxis Controller App, dont click on "Start" yet.
2. Start the Sixaxis Pair Tool, available from http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
3. Connect the PS3 Pad to your PC via USB
4. After the Sixaxis Pair Tool has found your controller, enter the Phone's bluetooth address (as seen in the Controller App) into the Sixaxis Pair Tool window and click "Update". You change the comtroller's "master" to the phones address with this.
5. Disconnect the Controller USB cable
You can now click on "Start" in the Controller app, the controller will pair with the phone.
You dont need a profile for Dead Trigger, so its ok to test with it.
Just activate "native gamepad emulation" in the Sixaxis input preferences.
If you need profiles for games, you can find some here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956604
you can install them as described in the thread or just go to settings -> input methods -> sixaxis controller -> preferences -> touch profiles and import it there, after this you can choose it in the Controller App. (Notice: import it in the settings, chose it in the App. 2 completely different places.)

I think any replica of DualShock 3 should be cheap and fine, I bought original DS3 for ~54$ however I was getting Chinese make good bluetooth controllers for half the price (~25$). I am talking about branded pads (RedGear, Amigo) but these pads are not available every where.
As LamerDuck mentioned his un-named PS3 controller(for 10€ ) is working fine so even cheapest one should be fine for casual gaming.
However i feel below controller looks quite good and very similar to my DS3, At least its properly packed and looks good check out below links:

[Q] Gameklip + LG optimus 4x hd P880

Someone know a way to use the Dualshock 3 controller with the Gameklip on the LG optimus 4x hd ?

Thanks

I don't think you can use that as of now, you need to wait until the bootloader gets unlocked so we can use kernels. With kernels you can do allot one of them is USB host, and that is what you need to use that controller i believe.

Stop talking such things. You can use original ps3 pad with the aplication named sixaxis by bluetooth, before that You just plug in controler to Your computer and change its bluetooth adress to the phone ones.

That is true if you connect it with Bluetooth, but not with USB and i saw they connected the gameklip with USB and it wont work with USB.

yeah its done through Bluetooth and a tool called sixaxis for use with games,but I don't know of gameklip

gameklip is just an plastic holder for the phone, and the ps3 , isnt it ?

yeah from what ive just read it looks like its just a mount for the gamepad so all thats needed without even buying the gameklip is the sixaxis software which is free

Sorry, about my post, I just want to check something:
So we can't use any gampad that uses the OTG cable, but we can use any bluetooth gamepad - prefered one is the PS3 Sixaxis controller with the sixaxis app form the play store???
THanks for any help

SIXAXIS PS3 Controller w/ NESOID/SNESOID

Got my Nexus 7, rooted, and setup the Sixaxis app with my PS3 controller. It works great with epsxe, but when I try to use the controller with NESOID or SNESOID, I can't seem to figure out the mapping issue.
Is anyone successfully using a PS3 Sixaxis controller with their Nexus 7 and NESOID/SNESOID? I'd love to know how you got the keys mapped properly.

Try using RetroArch, it's a whole bunch of emulators built into one. I don't have time to test out my controller right now, will probably do that tomorrow at lunch.

Hit your settings button, Settings> Other Settings, and make sure under "User Settings" that "Use input method" is checked in the individual emulator (like NESoid).
Once it is you can map it under Input Settings> Key Mappings by just pressing the buttons. Make sure in the Sixaxis app you have hit the "Change IME" button and set it to the Sixaxis controller. It works perfectly for me on NESoid, SNESoid, and GENsoid across all my devices.

Thanks, that worked. What was throwing me off is that when you go to map the keys, it says <unknown> instead of the key. Still worked, though. Rocking.

Thanks for the tip. I had set this fine once, but after data wiping I forgot how to set up again. Back to normal...

ok im having a little trouble with six axis and some emulators here perhaps you guys can help me. ive been able to map most of them pretty well but i am having a hard time with gbcoid and snesoid not mapping my start and sometimes select buttons correctly. i can get everything else to work but when i press the two center ones nothing happens. I end up having to touch the screen to use these and that can be a hassle. Any suggestions on how to map it so i can get full function out of this controller?

hi guys..
ps3 controller must be %100 orginal..? or can we use the fake\clone (compatible with ps3 game console) ps3 controller which cheaper than orginal..

This is the one I use, not official. Works like a charm.

GAME PADS??

Hey guys.
trying to get an xbox one pad working on the tab s2 for my kids to play emulators.
no joy so far...
... is this actually possible yet?

I don't know, if this is possible, but I use the Asus Gamepad that is made for the Asus Nexus Player. It works fine on all my android devices.
Hope my english is good enough...

didnt really wanna spend more cash on another pad.
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.

Le2 x526 supports PS3 controller over OTG?

The light blinks on my ps3 controller but no buttons are registered when I press them. Also games do not detect my controller. While my controller works with my Sony tablet over OTG. Could anyone else please confirm that Controller is (not) supported with Le2? Thank you.
