I just got my USB OTG cable and I wanted to hook in a controller so I can use it for emulators. The PS3 controller doesn't seem to be recognized. Anyone know of any solutions?

Sixaxis controller app on the market will allow ps3 controller through bluetooth. Works great.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

When I tried the App, it stated that I didn't have the right protocol. Hence why I am looking for another option.
Did you do the other part on the computer?

Of course, that's not the problem, the problem is the Bluetooth Stack on the SGSII AT&T apparently doesn't support the needed protocol. This also was confirmed on their site where they said there was an inability to use it with newer Samsung Devices.
You need to be running CM7 of Muiu, which use the working bluetooth stack.

I'm running Cognition right now, I'll try to see about splicing in CM7's Bluetooth Stack then, though I've heard mixed things about CM7's Stack working properly in terms of displaying Track Names over Bluetooth.
Woah.. Call me a noob, but it's possible to plug USB controllers into our phones for games!? THAT'S AWESOME. Definitely going to watch this thread for more info.
Afaik, no. But i could be wrong. Has it been done with a powered hub?

It can be done with Honeycomb 3.1 I thought when they announced it a future update (anything past 2.3.3 I thought) was going to include it for Gingerbread, looks like we just have to wait for ICS
TBH the idea of a wireless controller is more attractive to me anyway. A PS3 controller can be combined with a market app to do the job? If so, would it be able to function as the input device for, say, NES/SNES emulators?

Yes, typically you can remap the buttons and do such. Since I have been unable to do such, I'm trying to track down a bluetooth gamepad that I could use with my device that isn't a PS3 controller. There are some on the market, just trying to find the best option.

Have you confirmed that the OTG cable is working for more "common" stuff?
The PS3 controller isn't a fully standard HID device, so requires a special kernel driver to work. I'll try to whip up a test kernel for you to try in a day or two.
FYI, in addition to the kernel support issue you may be subject to the same limitations as PS3 controllers on the Tab 10.1 - the PS3 controller MUST be fully charged prior to connection or it'll try to charge and trigger an overcurrent trip.

It's next to impossible to do stack-splicing between CM7/MIUI and Samsung stock ROMs. I've never seen it done.
OTG Connects a Keyboard and USB Flash Drives. I tested it with a WD 500GB desktop drive also, works well.
I can say that the PS3 controller works great with the EEE Pad when it is plugged in, no Bluetooth support in Honeycomb. Though once ICS comes out, we should have native Gamepad support through USB then. That's going to be a glorious day.

For what it's worth, I went ahead and got a DualShock 3 controller, the Sixaxis Controller app, and SNesoid/N64oid. After initial configuration they all work extremely well together, allowing some good on-the-go gaming. Now I'll finally have something to do on long car rides or between classes. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Note: I am running Cyanogenmod 7, which avoids the problem described here.
I just tried it with my PS3 controller. Works extremely well.
- First use the compatibility app to get a MAC address looking string, write it down somewhere.
- Then go on your computer, browse to dancing studio website and download the driver install app.
- While the driver install app is running, plug the PS3 controller into your PC, Windows 7 actually told me something like the driver has not been approved with MS, ignore it and proceed.
- Type the MAC address that you've obtained in step 1, and update the controller
- Download the Sixaxis app from marketplace for $1.79. Run it. Turn on your PS3 controller. Everything should be detected and it will ask to turn on Sixaxis Input method.
- Open up SNESdroid, map buttons, enjoy AWESOME gaming.
edit: I'm on Entropy's completely stock rom, but rooted of course.

Will this work with a normal stock without root? Thanks
hi brought an otg cable for my i777 and i can't get it to recognize my phone even with a power usb hub any help please using shostock rom 2.2.6
I was able to get a Playstation(2) USB controller adapter to work with an OTG cable in one of the ICS leaks. Also was able to get an original Xbox controller to work. But, since the leaks were found to be brick-happy, I've switched to AOKP with the Siyah kernel. The kernel works with keyboards and mice with OTG, but not game controllers yet, and the bluetooth stack isn't capable of connecting to a PS3 controller or Wiimote currently with CM-based ICS.
I tried connecting a pendrive, a mouse and a keyboard through an OTG adapter and they all worked fine.
However, I couldn't get my wired xbox 360 controller to work. The device doesn't show any sign that it's trying to detect it.
I also tried connecting a usb SNES-ripoff controller that I had laying around and it actually worked right away, but half of the buttons on it wouldn't get registered on any emulator I tried.
Has anyone managed to properly connect a wired xbox controller to their Redmi Note 2?
i tried to connecting the wireless one (im not have the wired version), and tried this tutorial, and can't get it work. I think its because original kernel not support it, its lack of xpad.ko module.
and im sure the wired one can't work too, because there was not key layout for xbox controller in /system/usr/keylayout/. yeah we can copy it manual, but our kernel not support.
CMIIWsorry for bad english.
Hallo!
I haven't been able to pair my Xbox 360 wireless controller (with the reciever, OTG) with my S6 Edge at all, is there something with the xbox profile that's located in the /system/usr/keylayout
The file name is: Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl
I know that file is for a USB xbox controlller which is a wired xbox controller and not a wireless controller, but what if i edit it *somehow* and make it work for an Xbox wireless? Is there any solution for this problem? @[email protected]
I mean, can i copy the XBox wireless profile from my S5 (running lollipop) and paste it into my S6 Edge running lollipop? I know it's a really noob thing to do and may seem senseless, but I'm just trying for my stuff to work lol.
Probably easier to pair up a ps4 controller since they use Bluetooth. Maybe ps3 controller would work? I can't remember if they use bt or not

ye, but the topic here is an Xbox 360, not a PS4, it's too easy to say just buy a PS4 controller and pair it with my phone. Playstation controllers are easy to pair with, no denial in that.
Solved on s6 active!
After about a week of trying, I have wireless 360 controllers working on my s6 active. I'm using a Microsoft 360 controller receiver and an otg cable. I had to find a legit USB BT Joy Center apk (not the gold version, it kept disconnecting my controller) and then I found an app called Lucky patcher that let me remove the license verification on the app, since it has been abandoned by the developer. No root required! It allows you to keymap, so I can use multiple 360 controllers for emulators (Mario kart tested), and I even used it to play games streaming from my computer with Moonlight. I have the fixed apk file upon request, or you can diy with the instructions above.
Basically the title. I'm wondering what wireless controller you've guys gotten to work with the Pixel. I don't really won't to get anything expensive because I'm probably won't end up using it much. I wouldn't mind getting one that holds the phone though. I'll mainly be using it for emulators and such.
Also, has anyone successfully gotten the Sony Dualshock 4 controller to work with it? It seems to pair just fine but I can't get any buttons to work with it. It'd be awesome if I could get it work because I already own one.
Thanks in advance friends!
I believe with a PlayStation controller you need a way to map the buttons like Sixaxis Controller (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller).

I haven't tried Sixaxis yet with my Pixel, but it worked pretty well for my previous phone. It does require root.
Good news, I got Sony Playstation DualShock DS3/DS4 controllers to work on Google Pixel.
I have a pixel, rooted, with SixAxis Controller app installed.
Wired USB:
dmesg for ds3/4 show the devices connecting via USB, but does not create a hid/dev input device. sad, this worked perfectly on Galaxy S3 on Cyanogenmod
Wireless (Bluetooth):
- Program the master address using SixPairTool on Windows (use phone's Bluetooth MAC address)
- DS4: pair natively as "Wireless Controller" in Android, holding PS+Share. Buttons will not work at this point.
- DS4: Start SixAxis app, and touch start. it 'just works' now, tested in JohnSNES and DosBox, NO LATENCY! Zelda / CommanderKeen
- DS4: Touchpad/Sticks/Buttons works natively in android, sweet. No need to switch to SixAxis IME
- DS3: No native bluetooth pairing. Start SixAxis app, touch start.
- DS3: Hold PS button to start pairing mode, phone will popup with request (0000/1234)
- DS3: Latency seems good, but didn't play that long (JohnSNES).
- DS3+4: XY/AB buttons seem to be swapped, but easy fix in SixAxis settings.
So ROOT is needed for both controllers and wired support is broken.
I got an ouya controller to work. For what it's worth. Of course I wouldn't recommend spending $50 to get one if you do that have it already
I prefer to use the USB a to c doohickey and plug an Xbox controller right in. Works perfectly. Noted for future research though, thanks.
My SteelSeries XL works very well with my Pixel. It's easily the nicest looking controller I've seen that is meant for use with a phone.
At the moment I am using it with DraStic NDS emulator but it likely to work with any game that supports external controllers.
Hello, everyone!
As I have not found anything on this, neither on XDA, nor using friend Google, I'm posting this hoping to find a solution.
So I have an original PS4 bluetooth controller and it works like a charm with other devices (Win 8.1 laptop, K1 Shield on Android 7, Sony ZX2 on Android 8). but not on the M5.
Trying to pair it with the M5 first brings up an error message "Pairing failed Incorrect pairing key or the device you want to pair with is configured incorrectly. Tray again after viewing Help." ... which doesn't help.
A second attempt will then magically pair the device, but to no effect. It is shown as paired and coected, but will not work with the tablet and apps supporting controllers will not recognize that a controller is connected. Also the controller itself shows the "idle" instead of the "connected" light.
So, does anyone have any ideas how to solve this? I re-paired the controller with all other devices, just to make sure, and it worked. So the controller is still functioning.
If it's anything like the DS3 (dual shock 3) then the controller is very finicky and requries custom software. There's probably an app for it, the Sony phone will have the driver pre installed because it's sony, and probably the shield too.
If it's connected, then yeah there's no hardware fault, just needs the driver.

Well, PS3 controllers truly are difficult to set up, but not so PS4 controllers: Turn on bluetooth, put them into pairing mode, pair, done. I had my PS3 controller with Sixaxis running after much hassle but the PS4-one is really easy to set up. And I did it on multiple Android devices.
And then comes the M5 ...
By the way: Sixaxis does not support the M5.
Yeah I did notice the same thing on my M5 Pro.
I wanted to play the odd mame game with it, and as you say it paired on the 2nd attempt, but I couldn't get any controls to respond to any buttons/triggers etc.
I haven't tried using an OTG cable to see if it will work via cable, but disappointing that it connects but still doesn't work.
Can confirm that DualShock 4 and wired Switch controllers work with a USB C OTG cable.
Hi, it looks like that the Pad have a general Problem with Bluetooth controllers, because i tried a snakebyte controller:vr and the controller hangs or it is "endless scrolling" and in games very unprecise. the same Controller work with a P20 Pro like charm. So it looks like the Problem ist the m5 Pro. Oh, and the same with the PS4 Controller M5 + wired Ps4 working, M5 + Bluetooth PS4 "He´s dead jim", P20 Pro wired/bluetooth Ps4 working.
