If you are rooted and own an play station 3 you can use the ps3 controller if you buy the app on the playstore.

The SixAxis app uses bluetooth to connect your Playstation 3 controller, I have it working on my rooted N7105.
Try the SixAxis compatability checker first to check whether your phone will run SixAxis

I have read that you can use a usb otg cable to plug a playstation or xbox 360 controller in to your phone but I haven't tried that.
There are also MOGA controllers that were released last month but there are limited games that work with the controller.
Another new controller is Nyko.
If you have a Playstation 3 controller and you phone is rooted then the sixaxis app is definitely the cheapest and best way forward.

Yeah, if you have OTG cable, Note 2 will recognize the ps3 controller wired with no additional software.

Another option is to use the free app wiimote controller in the app store to connect a wii remote via Bluetooth.. You can use the standard wii controller if you only need two buttons. Or you can use the Wii classic controller or Classic controller pro if you need a more PS3/Xbox like controller. My daughter had the Wii classic controller pro lying around, so I didn't have to buy anything. Its works fine on my Gnex and Nexus 7 (waiting on Note 2) with NES, SNES, PSX, and N64 emulators and some apps from the app store that allow you to choose your input method.

I have xbox360 controllers and from what I read it works out of the box with the wireless transmitter.
My question is does it work with normal android games or just with emulators?

Some games have controller support. A list of games that work with controllers can be found here:
http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4
moga, 8bitty, iMpulse
go to google and see which fits you. The other solutions mentioned are great as well.
I definetly tell that PS3 sixaxis bluetooth gamepad + "Sixaxis Controller" (~1,5$) with touch emulation makes every games compatible.
It's really amazing ! Trust me you won't regret ! ^^

No, it doesn't make all games compatible. There are some games that still cannot be matched due to how the controls are set up. I'll grant you a huge number are able to work, but not every game. Spreading overly optimistic untruths isn't helping the OP or anyone else make a good decision about which controller to get.
(PS3 controller + Root and Sixaxis is my favourite though)
Well i was maybe too much optimistic but despite the fact that the sixaxis ps3 gamepad have 'only' 10 buttons two joysticks and a cross to map on the screen .. i understand that you cannot play easily a game that have plenty of buttons ... But with the sixaxis controller software you can also enable mouse support (as for me i use the right joystick plus r1/r2 for left and right click) and i can assure you that you can play any game !
Tell me what game you cannot use with this solution ? I'll take a look for you ...

No, it doesn't.
Nyko playpad pro looks good to me. Ive been doing lots of hunting online for a decent gamepad myself. Moga, snakebyte idroid, nyko playpad pro. Are the 3 wireless dual analogue stick android controllers ive been looking at it seems there are advantages and disadvantages to all of them. check em out on you tube and see which works for u. It seems there all due to be released here in the uk soon if your in the usa there released already. The nyko playpad pro is available in sainsburys in the uk on the 7th of december for £44.99.
Android gaming and game controllers is work in progress there doesnt seem to be one to use with every game yet as the games themselves have to support controllers the controllers have apps which are supposed to let you remap your buttons for games which dont support controllers but this is not full proof yet.

So I can get HD on my nexus 7 (2013), but streaming to Chromecast is only SD, with no control over the quality.
Does Chromecast automatically determine HD/SD based on the WIFI connection or is Chromecast SD only?

I use my Chromecast for streaming YouTube and Google PlayMovies. HD source streams in HD. My TV shows 1080p while playing. Experience made by a German user.

Thanks, my Chromecast connects at 1080p, but the picture quality of Google play movies is rubbish definitely not HD.
So for you Google movies actually look high def?
Yes, it is high def for sure! Test it with YouTube! There are enough 1080p for free.

It depends on the Wi-Fi connection the cc key has. With a good connection HD is played as HD, with a medium connection HD is played as SD.

If you can access Play Store, Market Helper might work. I have to use it to install certain apps on my Galaxy Gear as Play Store either hides the app or says it's not compatible.
Hi
I did already post it here once, but I think nobody recognize:
the milkVR app is able to play all kinds of videos. Flat 2D, Flat 3D, 180°, 360° ... aso. MilkVR is also open to stream videos via http. I did play around with it a lot and it is working verry well.
This is the reason why I made a android app that will forward urls to milkVR to give a way to send the adress to milkVR. This will work with video sources from the internet, DLNA Media servers and all kinds of web servers. NAS, emby, Plex or wireless HDs.
try it, it is free and open source ... =)

There is a very big faq in the wiki.
Sweet! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing
I will also try it when I get back home. Looks promising.
Edit
Just tried it and it's. . .it's. ..it's AWESOME!
For me it's so far the best option to watch 3d movies. The quality is just awesome comparing to cardboard players.
Very very good job.
maybe a stupid question (yes it is) but can I also use it when my phone is unrooted. (Still to recieve the VR).
of course this is no stupid question: You don't need root!
My app does not do anything crazy. It only creates one file in the /milkVr folder and calls a milkVR:// url ...

This is great! Gives me access to my plex archive AND live TV via Mediaportal & Ampdroid
One note: i had to manually create the milkvr folder in the root of the internal storage. But it has been smooth sailing since then
Live tv work very good with enigma2 and transcoding.

Hmm, regarding movies and all other local content, it seems that plex -> external player refuses to do reencoding, thus all matter of trouble with unsupported codes and very high bitrates (especially a problem when on LTE or outside wifi)...
Also it seems that MilkVR will stretch the videos to full 16:9 regardless of contents original aspect ratio (4:3, 2.35:1 etc etc) ;/

Why did your .APK trigger a reinstall of Samsung Pay? This was on a stock S6.
No idea dude ... I would say It's random and MilkVRLauncher isn't the reason for the reinstallation ...

Thank you! I will try it!
very cool, thanks.
One weird thing, for some files I can just click them in a file explorer and your app appears as open with. For others (both mkv) your app doesn't appear and I have to open it manually and I have to actually type in the path, which is taking some time... Is there a reason it sometimes appears and sometimes doesn't? Once I have the path in your app one way or the other, it works great.
Thanks!

Hi
I have no idea ... But I found a bug: The app will not longer appear for https streams. Bugfix will go live soon ..
Which file browser are you using? Local files or files on a network storage? Smb?

Someone an idea: Starting MilkVR via MilkVR Launcher... but any video/stream I select ... MilkVR starts with its little Jingle/Logo... but then it hangs, screen stays black. (MilkVR Version from "Indian" Thread, Note4 GearVR Innovator Edition)
Hi
this may be a problem with the codec. Can you play the video with the stock video player?
Gesendet von meinem SM-G928F mit Tapatalk
@heavykick Thanks for your work. I'm in love with your app.
I have question for you. I think I can launch only one video each time, is this correct?Do you think that could be possible create a Playlist or a queue? Now we must stop and start, put, remove...the Samsung Gear, and a playlist could be a great addition.
Thanks!
