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.
http://www.tegrazone.com/support/game-controller-support
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...

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:

I've seen others with devices that can do OTG and was able to use a usb 3g modem to get internet access. As far as I know OTG is not possible on the kindle fire hd right now. I personally use a 3g/4g WiFi hotspot on the go.

Sorry if I'm beating a dead drum here but I couldn't really find a definite answer. In what way is Bluetooth limited in the nook HD using CM 10.1? I see that keyboards and mouse via wired USB are no problem, but are they working normally via bluetooth? I've tried my PS3 controller via Bluetooth and that didn't work so before I go out and spend a bunch of money on wireless Bluetooth peripherals (keyboard, mouse, joystick), I want to be sure they're working. Can anyone report Bluetooth peripherals that do work?

I've got a real one and it doesn't via bluetooth. I've read it does via wired usb connection, but we're talking about wireless Bluetooth here.
I'm not interested in using wired peripherals.
It needs app(s) and games that support gamepad.
PS3 controller app is one - requires reprogramming of BT key using a PC though.
Would like to hear other apps that work (with both XBOX360 & PS3). One that doesn't require reprogramming would be great.

Nope I've tried the app. It's my understanding that all Android devices require the app for PS3 joysticks to work via Bluetooth. In the case of the Nook HD+ running CM 10.1 it doesn't work at all. I'm wondering if that's exclusive to the PS3 controller, or if I can do retro gaming with any bluetooth controller.
Anyone have the Nyko Playpad Pro for Android/Bluetooth?
It's on amazon and has decent reviews.

My Moga Pivot bluetooth controller works great especially with the 3rd party universal driver. So glad i bought it when they were on firesale for $5.
All of my blue tooth controllers work that I have tried. I have three.
The six-axis app for ps3 controller DOES NOT work on CM 10.1 on the nook.
I tried every way possible. It only works if you connect it with usb, which i don't like either.
but six axis still won't function = useless.
The MOGA works as does the cheapo GameStop blue tooth controller.
I got a moga...tired of waiting for six axis to get fixed.

Hi all, I've got a KFHD7 with CM11 running the tate Kit Kat ROM (thanks for your work Hashcode), but I can't seem to get a mouse or keyboard to work over bluetooth or USB OTG. HDMI output works fine (would be nice to have HDMI output resolution settings, but that's a bigger issue with Android AFAIK). We really need to be able to use it with a mouse and keyboard as I'm intending to use it as an Android desktop in our open device lab where I work. We test websites and apps and I'm trying to get it through to people that Android is (and will continue to be) much more than an OS for small touchscreens.
Do you guys know of any stable, recent ROMs at all that will work well with a mouse and keyboard?
Thanks!

I'm running CM11 as well, and I've got a bluetooth keyboard that works just dandy with it (wow, I don't think anyone says that anymore, but whatever ). I haven't tried a mouse, but I have no idea as to wether or not that would work. As for OTG stuff... well, the kernel used for the KFHD doesn't really support it yet. It's been talked about for a while, but there's still no option for it.

Can't make any promises about mice, I don't even have a bluetooth mouse to try it, but I am running kinology 3.2 (planning on updating to 3.3 soon) and my bluetooth keyboard is working perfectly with it. Maybe just a lil better than it did with original amazon os as well.
Hi. I could not find something about this (maybe i overlooked it):
My Problem is with the Kindle Fire HD (3Gen, 2013) that I cannot get a Microphone working.
I rooted it and installed Android 7.1 (Evervolv) on it. I want to use it in my car with Headunit Reloaded (android Auto emulator). I can get it to work with Wiifi connection but the google Assistant features only work if the tablet has a Mic. I looked into it and I know there is no mic in it. So I tried with IPhone/Android Headsets and Bluetooth Headset. No success. I saw on the device Page, that Bluetooth Mics don't work with the Kindle. But as I am Using a custom Rom I thought that it could be possible. Is it a hardware issue? Does anyone have a Microphone working
Also I tried an external sound card with an OTG cable. This works on Samsung Galaxy S7. So the cable works. The Kindle does not recognise the device. Also the OTG could be used for Headunit reloaded. Success between Samsung S7 and S8, but not on the Kindle.
Sorry if there is a Thread about something like this, but I could not find it
