Hello.
I watched many tutorials and videos about using ps3 on android but all I see is 2 options:
1. OTG cable
2. Root + Sixaxis enabler.
I do not want to root my s6edge+ and can't use otg cable while phone is connected to Gear Vr since it does not recognize it.
Is there any way to be able to use ps3 controller without root on Gear Vr?
Thanks
BR.
I might be wrong on this, but I think the PS3 controller needs root to manage the bluetooth driver. The PS4 controller would be the "no root wireless" option, but right now, i'm having issues getting it to work. I'm able to pair the controller, but not connect it. It seems that once it's paired, it defaults back to the PS4. I see this is a common problem with the new flagship Galaxy devices. It seems maybe a bluetooth problem.

Not only that, but you usually also need a custom rom/kernel in order for it to work (at least on my Note 4; stock rooted rom won't work with the PS3 controller).

I am also having this exact same issue. It's been driving me insane. I have bought an OTG cable and everything trying to get them working together but it also doesn't seem to work for me cabled.
Has anyone found any resolutions to this yet that anyone knows of? Really wanna play Demonhalls etc on Gear VR but can't get the controller to work! :'(
Yeah I can't get the ps3 to work either. I can pair the ps4 controller and it works for a little bit then it starts acting crazy. I bought an ASUS controller for $25 that works great except for not having a start button lol. Can't play anything in the arcade. I can't win.
I have a note 5 by the way.

works for dreadhalls as well-i cut out the controller buttons with those pads for chair legs with sticky back-only drawback no tactile feedback
Who ever is facing a problem in connecting the remote through cable, try to use a new cable and it might work.
It worked for me

I'm trying to use this app Game Controller 2 Touch which says it is compatible with dualshock 4 and nook hd+, but it doesn't work with just ime and I haven't been able to get any support from the developer. The touch emulation works, but I want to just use the controller on emulators. Just pairing with bluetooth normally works, but there is a huge delay so I wanted to try this app since it says it stops the input lag. Can anyone else try the demo version to see if they can get it to work or know of any other ways to connect lag free with bluetooth?

Tested the free version. My findings:
The app will work with the PS3 controller via cable following exactly the instructions in config -> help section.
However, I believe bluetooth, ps3 controller, and the nook hd+ never worked before and it seems like this app does not do anything different there. Also...
It states, "A Game Controller i.e. Any Gamepad/Joystick which can be paired via Bluetooth or Connected through OTG to the Device". Nothing about being able to do bluetooth on the nook hd+ with the ps3 controller.
So I could be wrong but the only advantage of this app appears to be (in my brief test) that it can be used to assign buttons to touch only games - which also appears to be a rather horrible do-it-yourself button assign to touch areas on the screen thing.
If I'm wrong on both of those then its worth it to me, otherwise not.

Well there is a list of tested devices and nook hd+ is one of them, but he does not say how he tested it. It could be that it is just tested with an OTG cable. Is it common for even the PS3 controller to have input lag through bluetooth? If so I will just do the workaround for OTG if that is the only way to get decent input

Someone else might know about it via Bluetooth. I definitely don't know as its never been working for me.
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------
It looks like he says his app doesn't do Bluetooth connections? That is, the controller must be enabled via bluetooth outside of the app -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47224131&postcount=31
In any case, I think before people couldn't get Bluetooth and the ps3 controller working via the mentioned app with the nook hd+ anyway. So unless that changed...
This review is found for the sixaxis app on Jan 21 2014 "Controller does not connect with CM10.1 on a Nook HD+ I'm able to write the master address to the controller using the app, however, the controller cannot connect wirelessly. Looking around on the internet, I don't seem to be the only person with this issue. It'd be fantastic if this could be fixed. Till then, two stars. "
So thinking bluetooth is still a no go.
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?
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...

your english is perfectly fine dude.
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.
bubble bobble here we come!!

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.
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!
I'm trying to get either an xBox 360 or a PS3 controller connected to my S2 but so far have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Has anybody managed to do it without rooting the device or flashing a new rom?
I've tried both, connected through an OTG cable that I know works because I can use both a flash drive and a wired mouse with it.
I'd rather not root it, it's still under warranty and I don't want to lose that and I definitely don't want to flash a different rom. I like it as it is.
One thread I found implied that the Sixaxis app would allow me to connect the PS3 controller by using the USB cable I have for charging it but I've found this not to be the case. It just tells me that it can't find the controller on Bluetooth and doesn't even seem to look for a wired one.
Searching has shown me that the controllers can be connected to other tablets but I'm yet to find anyone who has done it with the S2.
Please can anyone help? I'd love to be able to play games on my tablet without using the on screen controls which I find very awkward.
I should say that my S2 is an SM-T713
You would definitely need a keymapper, I'd say. Unless the game in question nativity supports a gamepad/controller.
Did you check the Nvidia Shield Tablet threads?
I think they came up with a *no root* solution, which should be applicable for all sorts of Android devices.
Thanks, I'll have a look
I was in a similar boat to you a few week ago on my stock T715:-
-Xbox 360 Bluetooth, no connection
-PS3 Bluetooth, no connection
-Xbox 360 Wired/OTG, no connection
-PS3 Wired/OTG, connection but sometimes with calibration issues
I went to a shop in the UK called CeX and asked for a Bluetooth controller. They had a used Gamesir S3 for £15 which is cheaper than a wired PS3 controller. The Gamesir is excellent, it's connected every single time. They supply a micro USB to micro USB cable so you have the choice of wired or Bluetooth. Both work flawlessly without any calibration issues.
Best £15 I've spent this year. :victory:
Fail.
I can recommend gamesir s3 too. It also came with a clip that you can use for your phone.
