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 )
PLZ help me configure a gamepad on Android

so im thinking about buying this msi bluetooth gamepad for my g1 to make my emulation experience a little less cramped.
my problem is that i see no refrence to the use of this game pad on the g1 on this forum or on google.
Any ideas if this gamepad will be "plug and play" or "plug and pray"?
anyone have an idea?
Take a closer look at the specs. Android is not listed as a supported OS at this time.
Ive always wondered when someone would build a blutooth controller for phones
I wonder how hard it would be to get this working in android
it would really make the G1 that much better
I've successfully paired a Wiimote with the G1 but the system doesn't recognize any input from the Wiimote. hcidump -X shows you that the phone is receiving data but I don't think the phone knows what to do with it, yet . I'm thinking about digging a bit further and getting this working.
this is what i am afraid of. i should just get the controller and try to mess around untill i, or sombody else figures out what to do. i could be something as simple as writing a small app to reroute these lost commands to a keystroke or something.
or could be something more massive and complex than i imagine
probably just making an app..... it worked for the bt watches
That sounds doable, except the last program writing I did was with pascal in high school.
I got the android stuff started in eclipse but I'm lost after staring a new project. I should just leave this to a professional.
Anyone want to help?
If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.
Heyyooo folks!
Iv seen alot of people having trouble connecting their ps3 controllers to there note 4s and all they get is thoose crazy blinking lights instead of the one light that should be their and not blinking so i made a guide on how to do it easily, maybe people already know about what they need to do but if you don´t and want to learn how to do it just visit my youtube channel and check out the guide, it´s a very simple method and all you really need is the sixaxis app, a device that is compatible with the app, and titanium backup, i think this goes for all devices running 4.4.4 but im not 100% sure, but for our note 4 this is the way to go.
So if you got this problem please head on to my video and i explain it for you in real time and also i got a full description guide written in the video for thoose of you who never before changed the master bluetooth setting in your ps3 controller with your PC.
Here is the link to the guide, im also doing alot of game reviews, rom reviews, and all kinds android related stuff as im a android lover.

As far as I'm aware this isn't a duplicate thread, because all the gamepad-related threads I can find are about using existing controllers with the NP. I don't own one.
The official gamepad is sold out everywhere but eBay, for which I would have trust issues, and I don't know that an Xbox 360 controller is the best option for someone who doesn't already own it. I'd be getting a $50 controller with a $20 receiver, the official version of which I can't find from any Canadian retailer, and I'm getting mixed opinions on how well that setup even works.
So I'm wondering if there's a third party controller I'm missing. Bluetooth preferred, though I have an OTG adapter if needed. Or maybe the 360 is my best option, in which case I'd like to know if anyone's tried any of the plethora of third-party wireless receivers on Canadian Amazon. I once bought a crappy OTG cable based on user reviews that barely worked and eventually broke, and now I'm leery of accessories that aren't from a known brand.
I'm using the steelseries stratus xl and i love it best android controller out there, works for every game and you don't need to mess with the button layout all the time.
Woot's got the official controller for $30 shipped: http://sellout.woot.com/plus/asus-gaming-controller-1?ref=w_gh_so_11_wp_1
Prior to receiving replies, I ended up ordering the Tronsmart Mars G01 despite knowing little about it, because it was a cheaper option yet specifically claimed to support Android TV. It's not Bluetooth but it comes with its own wireless dongle. I haven't tried enough Play Store games to definitively state whether it's an out-of-the-box replacement for the Asus gamepad, but thus far it seems to get the job done.
And I really hope I don't have a compatibility issue with any one game, because if I do, I'll be scouring their website for a "game controller app" that I can't find for the life of me, nor would I particularly want a random proprietary apk file that requests root access. But hey, I haven't needed it so far.
This is what i'm using http://www.8bitdo.com/nes30pro/ works great, I have a spare 120GB SSD hooked up that I use as adopted storage and have tons of console/arcade emulators set up on the device I also have all the zen pinball tables I own installed (though some have to be installed through the play store website, I also use ARC Browser to sort and manage all of my roms and act as a launcher for apps that don't have proper android TV icons, I also have messed around with some native apps such as soul calibur and Minecraft and it works great for all of them, the build quality is good and feels very much like an NES/SNES controller, battery life is decent as well. there is an app for mapping controls on games that do not support it but I have not tried it on the nexus player yet.
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 ! .
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.
