So we can outright say that the Pocofone F1 is an absolute beast in terms of raw power and that makes it a perfect candidate for budget portable gaming station. The only thing that we need now is an app that can help to play touchscreen games via a gamepad. Since most games(and some emulators) don't natively support gamepads, an app that'll emulate gamepad buttons to touch presses on the phone will be a necessity.
I've been googling a lot to find an app of such kind but couldn't really find a perfect solution. So far I've tried these :
1. Tincore key mapper : Requires root and SE set to permissive. Works but touches are getting pressed at all the wrong places and not at the user defined places. So discarded.
2. Octopus : works but is spammed with too many intrusive ads , requires a lot of permissions and most of all not all analog sticks work. So discarded again.
3. Gkm touch: not working
4. Game controller touch 2 : not working.
5. USB/BT joy centre : not working.
So as you can see I can't find any app that works perfectly. I'd really appreciate it if someone can point me towards an app that works or if there's another perfect solution.
Thanks in advance.
i'm having the same problem
I spend like 2 weeks to use my wired xbox360 gamepad on miui 10,
I have rooted my phone,
I put permission files and .kl files
Use octopus,tincore,panda gamepad,controller keymappers,joystick center
Nothing happen,
Now i try to downgrade to miui9
And i search for pros and cons of downgrade
But i'm really scared this may brick my phone
I on the edge,
Suck miui 10
They try to sell their great ass xiaomi gamepad,
It's kind of cheating, i think??

I think that you are right. It is MIUI. The Redgear gamepad which my grandson has, works with my OP3 with Octopus. But it doesn't work with Octopus on my son's F1 running MIUI 10.
i tried panda gamepad pro but it doesn't work it has bean instaled and activated and everything thing is goin will but in the games doesn't respond to any key
I use app called "Shooting Plus V3" with my Ipega PG-9156 gamepad (via bluetooth). App works good without root.

Hi,
Just picked myself up a 16GB Tablet Z-£315 in the airport in Australia, thanks very much!!
Loving it so far, after returning a Nexus 10 with a dodgy screen.
One big reason for me to keep it stock and not unlock the bootloader and flash AOSP or CM10.1 is the built in dual shock support.
Well I've just purchased a Dualshock 3 controller and paired it up and I've got to say/ask, how crap is this?? I'm seriously disappointed, it seems like none of the games I have work with it:
Delver:can move with left analogue stick, can rotate left and right with UP and DOWN on the right stick, can't attack.
Minecraft: Doesn't work.
Pixel Dungeon: Doesn't work.
Bridge Constructor: Doesn't work.
Lode Runner: Doesn't work.
Etc...
Particularly disappointed with Minecraft-on Nexus 10 framerate was like crap-works perfectly on Tablet Z but the onscreen controls just kill my RSI riddled hands and forearms, this version of the game would be so f&&king sweet with a PS3 controller on this screen.
Is there any knack to getting the controller to work? Does the rooted Sixaxis app work better than the 'built in dualshock' support? Do any games at all work with PS3 controller?
Thanks.
I was a little disappointed that more games didn't work with the controller natively myself, these are the games that I've tested that do work though: GTA vice city, dead trigger, shadowgun, and snesoid for SNES emulation. If anyone else has been using the controller successfully feel free to share

I'm not sure the list is correct. For instance, I downloaded Temple Run (which is on that list) just for the sake of seeing if the controller worked with it, and it does not.

I've only used Shadowgun which was pretty good with a controller. If you look further down the list, he didn't link to Temple Run and also there was a Sony site linked that was a store of supported controller games.
I've purchased Another World and already own GTA 3, both work a treat with PS3 controller. Just a shame that Minecraft doesn't work!! Dammit
I think for now only game available on Playstation Mobile app (or Playnow) are compatible with DS3.
I don't know if the offer is still valable on Xperia Privilege app with 25euro gift, if yes use it to buy from PS Store.
Mega Blast work wirelessly.
edit : didn't see comment above before posting.

Works with my Nexus 7 for mass storage and worked with Tablet Z to pair dual shock 3 controller.
LOVE this feature.
I use it for SNES emulators. Just had to map the buttons once, and it works flawlessly.
More Play store apps need to support controllers though, definitely.

What SNES emulator do you prefer?
I use snesoid but that's just because its what I've always used. It gets the job done and have never had a reason to check out any other emulators.
Such a shame they switched the upper left row of buttons with the lower right one, GTA 3 is kind of hard to play in this way. I'm using an SGP321 on .253 though so maybe it's fixed in .307?
Picked up a pair of these controllers from GameStop earlier this week. Only tried pairing one, but it works great! It has 2 modes, in one of them it acts just like the remote without the voice part.
http://m.gamestop.com/Catalog/Product/104425
I bought one today and it works perfectly. Tip: ensure the controller remains in the NP's line of sight during pairing. The first time it couldn't pair and the second time it paired but no buttons (in game mode) worked because of this.

I'm very picky about third party controllers and their directional pads.
This controller... is amazing!
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
One thing worth noting...
The controller pairs as two separate devices. If you pair it in "keyboard" mode, you must re-pair it in "gamepad" mode.
Just picked up two of these today based on reviews in this thread and after a few tests I can confirm that these things are amazing.
I was previously trying to use my Ouya controllers to play games here and there, but these $12 controllers are 100x better and most games and emulators I've tried so far "just work". They're actually comfortable to hold, buttons are responsive with good travel and I can operate the NP menu with them without any bizarre button config.

I agree. They feel so much smoother than allot of other controllers I have used. The Gamestop associate helping me recommended it. Glad I listened to him! The only real negative I have about this controller is that I wished it used micro USB to charge instead of the mini USB.
I hope this post can help those on a budget looking for a great gaming controller. Trying to give back to an awesome community that has helped me avoid many potentially bricked devices.
Just ordered mine from gamestop, it better be as good as you all say it is... Or else!
thanks for the heads up. i got two the other day ago and my girl got one for her kid. this is a steal. ive used several games as well as emulators and it works great.

Did you try to see if it works with 2 players simultaneous? I purchased a NykoPad Pro which works great and I want another to use for my MAME emulator. I read reviews (amazon) that users can pair a second controller but they can't seem to get the second Nyko Playpad to go into two player mode.
I hope the Red Samurai doesn't have his problem.
Finally arrived in the mail today and I LOVE the feel of it. Very comfortable to hold, maybe a little light, and aesthetically pleasing. Just need to figure out the easiest way to remap keys to work with emulators, and then I'll be golden!
Okay, trying to make this work with NostalgiaNES but they keys aren't mapped property, anyone have remapping recommendations?

yes at least for some games
I'm kinda in the same boat, should I get another one of these or something different for compatibility sake...?
I want to know what games you guys got working with the controller. I to bought one of these and it does work really nice. Getting another soon!

a lot of games work with this thing. in theory any game that supports bluetooth controllers.
if you install lollirok and amazon appstore the list grows a whole lot.
gta3 works really great btw. kind of funny that it shows as incompatible with android tv.
ive tried a few emulators and know forsure that you can use two of these controllers at the same time.
Going to start testing out humble bundle games!
I bought two of these controllers and they work great on Mame4Droid. I had to map the inputs for both controllers.
How do you remap the inputs?

I went into settings and managed the inputs for each player.
You may need a mouse or you cam use the controller to access the settings.
What is your roadblock?

Thanks for the response.
Where is the "Settings" menu for the controller?
Sorry - at work and not in front of my TV....

No worries, I'll explain as much as I can. Looks like you will need a mouse or 3rd party app to access the menu when your in the app. I use my DroidMote app. I couldn't access the settings with the physical remote or the remote app.
Once you go to settings, select input.
Select external controller
Select define keys and manage each player
Well, I have an 8bitdo Snes30 game controller and used it really easily on my previous Motorola G2, now that I have a Honor 5x I tried to use it but I havent been able to get it working.
I believe this thread must work for all type of controllers...
When I used it on my Moto G2, as soon as I paired the devices, the keyboard on the cellphone went useless and I could only use my gamepad, when paired on the Honor 5x nothing happens, they pair but its as though the device doesnt recognize it as a game pad, just nothing happens. I watch many videos of controllers such as PS3 or PS4 and Noga controller connected on Android cellphones and as soon as they pair, they work together great, but not with this cellphone.
Anyone knows what should I do, perhaps download an app or something?
Are you in stock ROM?
Sent from my honor 5X using XDA Labs
yes im stock rom, not flashed
Some devices doesn't recognize the Gaming joysticks . it might be honor one of them ! .
Huawei have a Designed For Huawei programme and the Betop G1 is a one of these devices. It is also the official game controller for the Mate 20 Pro, 20 X and Mate 20. This is my first impressions. Still learning about this https://youtu.be/exIxgaWckGE
Any questions, just ask here.
PUBG SUPPORTED After gamepads ban?
Since PUBG is banning all players using gamepads and third party apps like Octopus, is it still able to use Betop G1 in Pubg?
Amd if so, how could you map specific buttons since when I had tried to use gamepad before I found Octopus, I had only been able to use movement stick and that's it, no way to map buttons.
i have betop g1 and it works with pubg. mapping is like octopus.
Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk
Oh, thanks for feedback, that's good news. So you map it in "AppAssistant" or where? I just wonder if you use any third party app for button mapping
Honestly this seems kinda pointless for me.
A controller for the basic movement actions, and one shoulder button? Yeah I realize there is also the DPad but you cannot press it while simultaneously using the Left Stick.
Usually walking around with a Virtual Left Stick (no physical controller) is pretty easy, as there is no need to accurately touch a certain tiny part of the screen, but instead, the player only uses swipes. Swipe up and the character moves forward, and so on.
But the BUTTONS, like jumping, firing, crouching and others.. they are a pain. You need to keep close attention to where exactly on the screen you are tapping.
If they chose to only provide HALF a controller, at least they should have made the most useful half..
What do you guys think?
Seems to have stopped working for pubg. Anyone tried?

How to use sprint with betop g1 on pubg mobile?
You gotta double click on your virtual betop g1 left stick (after you have set it on left site so it can be used as left stick). Then you have to change the "analog stick range" (you ll find it in first "analog stick" section) to around 300 and place it the way that it covers sprint icon as well.

Don't believe so...
Hello everyone. I've fallen into a deep rabbit hole of troubleshooting with my Redmi Note 9 Pro EU with Android 11 and MIUI 12.5.8 on board.
I want to play Fortnite Mobile as a great break between everyday activities, so I found a cheap second-hand Nintendo Switch controller and tried to play with it. It's connecting by bluetooth but doesn't work in the game... I tried with USB OTG and it worked ONCE after some messing with the Octopus app in Fortnite and Brawhalla. I was so happy, but it never worked again.
So, I found another controller - this time designed for Android - Stratus XL - but this pad is even bigger mess. It connects by bluetooth as well as OTG but nothing works in games.
SOOOOOOOO I bought an original PS4 controller because I read many optimistic articles and people's comments, that Dualshock is supported by Android. And I'm used to this pad - it's my teenage memory
Indeed, it works beautifully with Android (the touch bar works as a mouse), but it again DOESN'T work with the games..........
Now I'm pissed off. I don't want to buy another controller... and Nintendo Switch pad worked once...
I'm thinking about what I can change in the system, to bind the buttons properly for the games I play...
On the XDA DEV forum, I found 1controller module, but it was written in the times of Android 9 or 10, and I'm not sure if I want to root my phone just to check it out.
Anyway, I'm sure that I'll need to access root at some point, but first I need a piece of good advice from someone who knows something about Android.
I was thinking also about updating Android to v12... but I'm also not sure about it. Maybe there is something easier I can do... because if Nintendo Switch pad WAS WORKING ONCE.... (this is so confusing xD )
