Hi all, I just flashed the aosp-galaxian.soup.gt7310-beta1.7.3 rom and has breathed some new life into my galaxy tab. Though there are minor issues here and there, I am very impressed by the overall performance of my tab.
I connected an Xbox 360 controller to the tab and I can control the home screen with it.
However, I can't get it to work with my emulators or games. I have tried USB/BT Joystick Center 5 and it can also not recognize my device. I will just like to know if anyone has a fix for this. Thanks in advance.
Okay, I've searched and searched and I can't figure this out. I have an original Xbox controller (with USB OTG cable) that works on four of my Android devices, but not on my Galaxy Tab S2. And when I mean "it works", I mean that I simply plug it in and I can use the controller to move around the screen. I don't have to install anything. Is there something I'm missing to get it to work? I couldn't find anything in the Settings. I tried a USB Device Info app, which showed that it can see the controller. I also experimented with the USB/BT Joystick Center 2015 app and it also saw the controller. So I don't think there is anything wrong with my controller or OTG cable. Before I spend anymore days working on this, I need a sanity check that I'm not missing something obvious.
It works on:
(2) Nexus 7 (2012) tablets with Android 4.4.4
(2) Galaxy S5 phones with Android 5.0
Does not work on Galaxy Tab S2 with Android 5.1.1
None are rooted.
Thanks,
Chris
I read on a Reddit page of users using the PS4 Controller as a game pad. I was able to pair the controller with my S7 Edge no problem but when I put on my VR and fire up a game, it does nothing and on same games says I must plug in a game pad.
Is it possible or do I need to buy a separate game pad?
I just got my VR tonight so I'm still playing around with it. I'd rather not drop $30 on a controller if I don't have to because I know it'll be short time before I get bored with using it and then have a controller I'll never use again lol.
Thanks guys.

Won't work with gear vr for some reason. Read back in December and maybe even when Galaxy s7 first came out in early March. But ever since a firmware update it won't stick or work with gear vr. Not sure with a rooted phone thou. I have a tmobile galaxy s7 edge , was just able to root yesterday. Gonna try later today. There is a guide on wololo.net a gaming hack side that has a way to use the ps4 , DS4 controller with ps4 remote play to your phone. Wondering if that works around will make it work with vr.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. That's unfortunate, I don't want to buy a separate controller but there looks like a few really neat game on there.
Let me know what you find out if you can.
I use the GameSir G3s Bluetooth Wireless Controller. It feels just like holding a PS controller, analog sticks located in the same places, works great with Samsung Gear VR and it's less than $30. I purchased mine from Amazon Prime, but make sure to read the reviews on how to pair it to your phone if you choose this route. That is honestly the only thing people have been complaining about, but if you read the reviews a lot of people give directions on how to properly pair it up without any problems.
sure it has function! install the app sixaxis with your rootet device and than set your bluetooth adress on ya ps4 controller on the PC with sixaxis pair tool to the same like your phone. in my case its perfekt
I know this is ancient but i use ps4 controller on vr. Like above says, use sixaxis app if ur rooted, get sixaxis pair tool on pc, i unplug power from ps4 and reset controller so unpair/wont turn on ps4. Plug controller n2 pc, open sixaxis tool type in bluetooth address displayed on sixaxis app on phone, change input method to sixaxis default, turn on sixaxis in app, turn controler on, make sure Bluetooth is on and if asked pair it with controller and done. I also habe used an app called vr controller. Install on phone and other phone or tablet, open in both, choose use as controller for whichever one u want to use as one and the other option for the other and pair bluetooth. Also need to change input method by first enabling it and then using it as default. Change back when done or u wont have a keyboard.
Xbox 1 wireless controller (white) works
I just got a xbox1 wireless controller works right out of the box!! With my stock s7 edge and gear vr 2016.
I was able to control the oculus launch page and play minecraft vr flawlessly! Hope this helps!
Hi all. I have a problem connecting my ipega BT controller to my note 8. I used this controller with my s8+ without problems but When I connect it to the note8 it connects withoUt problems but doesn't work in the game (tried few games). the only thing that works is volume controls and in the internet browser it can move up and down the page. It seems to me my phone recognizes the controller as a keyboard. Does anyone have any idea What I could do? Thanks
Hiya, managed to pick up a Tab S 8.4 recently, was hoping to use it with a controller for steam link and/or moonlight game streaming. Tried to connect both an Xbox One controller and an ipega 9023 controller via Bluetooth but could not get either to work. They pair and connect to the tablet and show up as a connected controller under Bluetooth settings but they don’t do anything.
Anyone any idea if there is something in Android 6 or Samsung’s software that stops these working? If I upgrade via rooting and a custom rom am I likely to have any more success?
