[Q] Anyone having issues with Moga controller? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using a rooted N6, stock ROM but with the Franco Kernel and I'm having trouble getting my Moga Power Hero controller to work. It connects fine, but none of the games work with it that are supposed to. I tried Ravensword, Riptide, and RiptideGP2. Nothing... not even in HID mode. HID mode DOES work in Leo's revenge and on a couple of other things... Could there be some sort of Android 5.0 controller compatibility issue going on or might it be the kernel?
I contacted Moga, they said to take it up with the game devs - no support. I get that, but not even a word of general issues with Android 5.0. I contacted the dev of Ravensword a few days ago inquiring about it, but so far no word on the issue either.
Anyone else having an issue?

[q] tvout+wiimote?

Hi all,
I know this is at the back of lots of gamers mind's who are using an i9000.
I am running a Darky Rom so I still get TV out - which is a big thing for me.
I got rid of my HD2 for this i9000 - and I still have not been able to connect a Wiimote to my device.
I was playing FPSCE with the wiimote on the HD2 and I really really miss this functionality.
I am aware that the bluetooth Kernal is the issue and that the Cynogen mod roms and others based around this are running a different BT imp which addresses and resolves this issue, but if I jump to Cynogen, I loose my TV out which is sadly more important (blame Ttorrent).
Has anyone heard of anything happening anywhere that will let me play with my wiimote whilst TvOUTed?
I am not holding my breath
Many thanks

[Q] 8-bitty Controller

Anyone on here used the iCade 8-Bitty Bluetooth controller with any emulators on the HTC One yet? I was able get one cheap but I know how buggy this stuff can be with different phone manufacturers. I really wish Android supported Bluetooth controllers without having to use an app. I play a lot of emulation on my phone and the on screen touch controls just aren't the same. I have read that some custom phone Rom's have capabilities of supporting devices like Wii-motes and PS3 controllers. But it seems neither work on HTC devices with Stock Roms. I hope it works when it finally arrives! :fingers-crossed:
Actually, the Wiimote does work on the Sense rooms with BluezIME. You have to download the separate file as per the instructions in the app, but works fine. It emulates an HID device so I don't believe the joysticks work on a classic controller, but good enough for SNES games. Hope this helps - maybe I should post a separate thread so people know about this method.
Btw I checked BluezIME and with the hid enabler, it has a setting for iCade. Even better!

Wow I will have to check that out. I did a lot of searching online the other night and downloaded an app for Wiimotes but it wouldn't connect to my controller. It came out with some error saying it had known issues with Sense Roms. I also tried the PS3 one and it also had issues. SNES games is exactly what I wanted a controller for. Thanks!
Newer Wiimotes won't connect. To any Rom You'll have to find an older one. Theres literally no way sense could cause a Bluetooth controller to not work.

Granted I have a limited understanding of this, but it seems to me the blue tooth stack is integrated in to Sense (or Touch with for Samsung phones)
My relatively new Wiimote (the new motion plus) and classic works fine in BluezIME. And the wiimote/sixaxis apps both say they usually don't work with sense roms. BluezIME works because it emulates HID mode, natively supported. Fwiw.

I should reword. Newer Wiimotes won't work. Wiimotes with motion plus do. It has something to do with the Bluetooth key in the wiimotes themselves. They won't even work on pc.
I don't see how a bluetooth lib would be changed to the point it breaks functionality(or at all really) but I suppose sense could be an issue.

I believe the old ones I have are from a launch system, so I can't speak for new ones. But they never worked on my Evo 3D (I don't recall if I tried BluezIME, only the Wiimote app. Once Cyanogenmod was ported, they worked without a hitch. So it seems to be some issue with how HTC implements Bluetooth, beyond that I can't say. Oddly, I believe One X users were able to use them, I'm not sure, but if so that's very unusual that it's back to not working. Oh well. BluezIME works fine for my purposes, usb-otg cable is in the mail and I'm hoping that works, if not no big deal
I have an original launch Wii controller and I was able to get it to connect. It took a couple tries it kept asking for a passkey. But eventually it took. So it does work which is great. But when I plugged in the classic controller it got a little crazy. Setting up the button mapping in SuperGNES didn't go very well. It was almost like a button was auto pressing everytime I selected a button to map. I'm a little too tired to figure it out tonight but will probably dig into it a little more tomorrow.

So bad news - I bought a USB-OTG cable. Keyboard, mouse, thumbdrive, all plug and play. Works fine. But PS3 remote and an old off-brand I had lying around do not. Why do they insist on removing gamepad support? It works fine in stock Android - has since, what, ICS? Guess I'll probably jump to MIUI, supposing we see it. Maybe I'll take a stab at the kernel source and see what I can find. Doubt I'm skilled enough for that sort of thing, though.
My iCade 8Bitty controller finally came in today. It works great with the emulators I use. Didn't have to do anything fancy to get it to work, pretty smooth sailing. Simple set up. Looks like it will work with any app/game that says it supports it. :good:
Too lazy to look for the info at 4AM, but yes, Sense is a major issue that breaks Bluetooth functionality. Something in Sense was causing a conflict in the Bluetooth driver, so HTC disabled certain functions in the driver. As a result, Wiimotes, as well as some other devices, won't work. Apparently HTC finally got around to fixing the issue rather than just sweeping it under the rug. Good for them. And us.

Bluetooth Game Controllers slow down whole system

Hi there,
I love playing on emulators with my HTC One, namely DraStic, MyBoy! and Snes9x.
I've noticed that the whole system slows down when I connect one of my Bluetooth Controllers to the phone, namely Gametel Controller, PS3 Wireless Controller and the Impulse Controller.
I am aware that emulation, especially DS emulation need a lot of CPU power but I can see a huge framedrop of about 15fps and sound gets really choppy when a bluetooth controller is connected.
Is anyone else playing on emulators and has installed any Custom ROM, Google Edition ROM or a 4.2.2 or even 4.1.2 ROM and can test if the described problem occurs on these ROMs too?
Thanks in advance, hope that some guys are interested in investigating so we can have clarity and solve this issue.

Sixaxis Controller

Sorry if this question has been asked before but I did some searching and was unable to find a straight answer anywhere and my question is a bit different.
Is there any hope for getting the Sixaxis PS3 Controller app working properly on any of the Android builds for the Touchpad. CM9 is the only thing it worked on as far as I can tell.
CM 10.1, 10.2, 11, as well as the offshoots, none of them connect to the controller. They connect to other bluetooth things I've tried, like keyboards and speakers, but no PS3 controller. Any other controllers work that I'm not aware of?
I've heard people saying something along the lines of there being an issue with the bluetooth stack on the newer ROMs, or that it is just a problem with the newer Androids in general. Though my phone, Galaxy S4, is running a 4.4.4 Slimkat build, with the 3.4 kernel, and it connects to the controller no problem.
I greatly appreciate all the Touchpad developers and all you guys have done to keep this thing alive, it's simply amazing. I'm just wondering if any of you have any idea as to why this aspect doesn't work and if it is even feasible to get it working? As it's a large factor in determining what ROM I will run on my Touchpad. I have no problem staying on CM9 if that's what it comes down to, but if we could somehow get it working on KitKat or Lollipop, that would be fantastic.
I'm willing to do whatever to help if someone is able to help me. I'm no developer but I'm very comfortable with a computer and with flashing ROMs and whatnot, as well as troubleshooting issues, so I'd be able to test some things out, take some logs of things, in order to help someone more literate in the development side of things see what is going on and where the problem may lie. I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing this would work, and I'll help to get it working in any way I can.
Thanks in advance, guys.

I've got it to work, will try it on lollipop.

[Q] Nougat and Bluetooth contollers

Is there anyone in here that has attempted to use a Bluetooth controller for games on 7.0? Every ROM I've tried I have issues with my d-pad sometimes working but mostly not. Its a brand new Steel Series Stratus XL controller. I'm going to go back to 6.0 to see if maybe its a Bluetooth driver issue on Nougat, but just wanted to get others input on this issue.
