Hello, I didn't see anyone post anything on this yet from either device (HD, HD+) but I haven't been able to connect a controller when on the 7/8 build of CM 10.1 or Carbon 7/7. I'm not sure if is an isolated problem or if there is known issues with bluetooth. I was able to get it working on Stock + root but much prefer Carbon or CM (Great Roms!!). If anyone has found a workaround I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions! :fingers-crossed:

Several of us have tried sixaxis to no avail. We can only hop this will get fixed at some point. I personally would love to see BT and the PS3 controller work rather than using USB. Time will tell.

Thanks for the reply. How did you get USB to work with the proprietary cable connection of the B&N devices?

Been a few days and wondering if anyone found a workaround or fix for this.
you get a small usb hub, and a female to female gender changer.
hookup nook usb cable to gender changer, plug that into usb hub pc connector end, plug ps3 controller
into it via usb cable. then change it to force usb host or vice versa. It's explained in the other Nook forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358535
I hate it, but it does work.
hoping for a blue-tooth working fix as well...

Recognizing my controllers
I'm using a ps2 controller with a generic USB adaptor. I set up CM 10.1 (awesome awesome awesome) and have a gender changer but no USB hub. When I do forced USB host, the controller lights up when I press the Analog button on the controller so I don't think I need a USB hub. How do I get the Nook to recognize it as an input method? I have done lots of research and tried the USB/BT joy center app and still my controller is not recognized. I also got a generic SNES controller and same issue. Is this because they are generic and there are no drivers for Android to recognize these devices, or do I just need a USB hub? How can I get an emulator to recognize these? Thanks for taking a look.

Wow yeah I have no clue. It would be much easier to just have sixaxis working. Otherwise I got to buy a bunch of stuff to get it working and carrying a bunch of wires around kinda ruins the portability factor of having a tablet in the first place lol
Was wondering is there any update on this issue as i would like to try out one of these roms but this is putting me of doing so
any updates? im yet to get mine going =/
you need to lean on the developers of sixaxis app.
It appears to be the only one not working.
I got tired of waiting and just got a cheap 20 dollar blue-tooth controller from gamestop (red samurai controller)
works great.

It does not work on mine. Tried an USB OGT adapter and an adapter cable (both worked on my Xperia S) Tried Dualshock 3 (because of that native support thingy) USB Keyboard and USB Mouse. No reaction. Device is rooted but bootloader is locked and I have stock firmware on it.

I tested it with an xbox 360 controller and it worked fine! The battery drain with it is ridiculous though!
I have two different OTG USB cables, with one it works fine with my ps3 controller, no reaction with the other cable. The one which works is a very short one, the not working cable is very long. But I don't thing the length is the reason.
i've got a feeling not all OTG cables work, i bought a generic one from amazon and when i try connecting a usb memory stick it says it has too much devices connected and i need to disconnect one for it to work. Has anyone bought one recently and it has worked, if so please provide a link if possible. thank you

I bought this one from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FUNQXS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
It arrived yesterday and I plugged the PS3 controller into the phone and it recognised it straight away.
I don''t know if it works with USB Drives or not, I don't have any to test, but it worked fine for what I needed it for, and cheap too.
Thanks mate, I'll give that a go

Just tried the USB OTG clip that i used on my HTC One and it doesn't show up a simple memory card? Which is weird as it's still working on other devices.
Would be good to find out what the problem is, is it a missing pin ? Or just the grade of the kit, plus certain USB OTG cables / clips are working for certain things and not for others, so PS3 will connect but memory won't mount on some, some nothing works on and others everything works, would be an idea to get some clarity on what cables do everything.
I'll test a few more when i get home, just confused as to why this one i've got doesn't work.
I tried connecting a PS3 controller through USB with no luck, it wouldn't recognize anything plugged it. Strange considering my USB flash drive works great with USB OTG on this device.
I was expecting plug and play. Anyone have any success connecting their controller?

As long as you use an otg adapter, the controller should work fine. My ps3 controller works wonderfully when I plug it in through a small otg cable....although the cable sometimes doesnt connect too well. Might just be a crappy cable.

I thought I saw somewhere that the Stock LG Rom lacked the standard Android controller profile?
Yes I am. So with a different OS I should be GTG?

Hi,
I just rooted my blu r1 hd and confirmed it by opening my #supersu app. I have root access. But I still am unable to make my phone detect my otg usb. I tried usb otg helper - but that doesnt seem to help. I tried stickmount and it doesnt work.
Can someone please help?

Out of Box the R1 doesn't support OTG, there was a report of someone making it work with a powered hub. But BLU states no OTG.
Used other checker
Hi,
Mi used otg checker and it confirms that my rooted device supports otg. It did not say that before rooting. But still my device does not recognize otg.
Please help.

As stated, the R1 does not support OTG. You can try a powered OTG hub, but your not going to get enough power from the USB port alone on the R1.
Hi Kal250,
Thanks for your reply. Please excuse my ignorance. What is a powered otg hub?
Can you please give an amazon link as a product example?
Your help is much appreciated. I understand that you are saying that it may/may not work. But I want to give it a try.
Thanks so much

I can't verify that this will work, there was only one user who reported success using an adapter, though I can no longer find the post, anyhow you can give this a try, you will have to supply power with a charger cable, but I make no guarantee as to if it will work. BLUs official statement is no support for OTG. I'm not responsible if you damage your device(s)!!

I'll try it this weekend.
Holy crap, can confirm.
I first tried using this powered hub, as well as a powered usb otg cord (similar to this one), it read my generic usb stick, as well as a 500gb HD (well, sorta, it saw it but can't read ext4).. Then I tried just the otg cord, powered, and it worked. As long as it was getting external power, it seemed to work just fine.
Bare in mind, it "NEEDS" the powered OTG cord, running it without having a micro usb hooked up to power in and it didn't work at all, at least for me. Though you can run the hub without power, don't know why this is, but it was how it was acting.
Non drive testing:
It also sorta saw my Logitech F310. In that it pops up that it is disconnecting, but never shows up while connected (with gba.emu). A 360 controller did nothing.
Mouse and Keyboard worked just fine.
USB Audio seemed to not work, at least with my crappy Griffin iMic (think it is an apple device, I got it at goodwil). I also tried a Logitech usb speaker (not sure what model). No audio came though, thought the buttons worked (play/stop/volume/skip). All this with "Disable USB audio routing" not on (as well as on, just in case i was misreading it).
I also have a Pinnacle Systems AV to USB2 (old school rca video cables to usb) adapter I "could" check, however I know of no android app that can take that in. I do know it works with linux by default, ala V4L2, but android is a mystery. It does light up, but other then that no idea, looking through dmesg was a bust for me at least. Eh, nitch item anyways, doubt much here would use it.
Can't think of anything else to test at the moment, but I hope this helps you guys out a bit.
Tried the powered OTG cable and was able to mount a USB flash drive. I did not have to root my R1 HD to get this to work. The mounted drive did not show in ES Explorer or in Solid Explorer. But I can go to Settings -> Storage & USB and click on the mounted drive. That puts me in the system file explorer and I can copy files. (Do choose "Show SD Card" in the menu. Otherwise there are not many places to copy to.)
---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------
Following up: of course you have supply power to the microUSB port of the powered OTG cable. I tried supplying power from an AC adapter and from an external battery both worked.
Another note: to copy files from the USB flash drive to internal SD or external SD, click on the USB Drive (in Settings->Storage & USB) first, select some files. Then, navigate to the place where you want the copy. If you want to copy to the USB drive, then click on the internal or external SD card (in Settings->Storage & USB) and do the same thing.
I got OTG to work with a powered OTG cable but I couldn't get UVC to work

I bought a Blu R1 specifically to use in a pair of Gear-like VR goggles, as an FPV headset for quadcopter flight. I was hoping to wire (solder) a wireless receiver to a USB UVC stick, run Go FPV (split-screen Cardboard-like vid player), and power all with a 10k mAh power bank battery.
I'm hoping the UVC not working is just a case of a missing driver. Can you (moshiach101) load a webcam app from PlayStore and see if that installs drivers?

OK. I tried it with a USB wall-mount charger, USB-C micro in a brand new power OTG cable, with a Logitech V-U0007 webcam which was shown to work on a PC.
No dice. I conclude the Blu R1 HD does not support UVC via the USB port.
(and the phone is completely useless to me as I have a good phone and Sprint plan for the family already...)
Is there a way to add the UVC driver to the phone?
Is it part of the ROM, kernel?

It should be added by adding an app which needs it.
The UVC setup works with my HTC One M7. Not with the Blu, so I think this is a HW/FW limitation.

No dice (I just tried). Pretty sure it's an MTK processor, which doesn't do OTG, and probably why it's cheap enough to sell at this pricepoint.

Use a powered hub I have tried and it works for most devices (keyboards, mice, and USB drives), but for other devices such as an arduino, which is what I needed, use USB Host Diagnostics to install a patch.

Hey !
For me, using the Dualshock 4 via Bluetooth is impossible, it lags and duplicate commands, but it actually works perfectly via OTG
how?
Plugged it in my MI 9 and nothing happens.
I'm using original MI 9 charger cable and and otg micro usb adapter like this.
no reaction at all.
even tried a usb-c to hdmi hub (has hdmi, USB port and PD). nothing.

Is the OTG working on other devices?
I'm using a Samsung one (see attachments), it's the one included in the Galaxy S10 box, a friend gave it to me because he had one already, you can find it here
I just plug the controller inside the USB and then plug the OTG in the phone using the Type C
I think you are actually plugging the phone into the controller because the OTG you sent me is a Micro USB one, so you might be plugging your phone into the OTG that you actually plug into the controller
I see but also tried one of these:
RON 26.05 32%OFF | Kebidu Type-C Female Adapter Usb Type-C Hub Adapter 3-in-1 USB C hub to HDMI USB3.0 with Charging Converter
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2dG8IbBa
Which I'm essence is the same as otg using the hub and still nothing
unfortunately xiaomi screwed us again.
although android 10 comes with dualshock 4 support, it's nowhere to be seen in miui11
so here's the deal, both of my Dualshock 4 controllers are v1.
Borowed a V2 from a friend, no lag whatsoever. not sure, but I suspect a driver issue on the phone side with v1
