Greetings,
I'm an Android newbie and just got my Galaxy S2 last week...
Consider me being a video game-o-holic you can understand why I developed a sever case of finger spasms/reduced manual functions over the past few days
I wonder if someone tried one of these "GAME CONTROLLER GRIP / GAME PAD CONTROLLER" seen at eBay (mostly for the iPhone though...).
Is there something suitable for the SG2 as well?
Perhaps the iPhone models can be modified for the Galaxy !?

(I can't post direct links yet..sorry...)
i think one is icontrolpad, not sure who makes it but seen a few youtube vids , there's another type i forgot the name
iControlPad will work, but I don't think it can grip the SGSII (despite having a couple of sizes of side-grips). The other one is the Phonejoy, I have one, works great (although only the emulators and Gamevil titles will work with it, enough for me, but perhaps not others).
Actually - I've been looking for a more "passive" controller similar to the images I posted.
It's probably no more than "ergonomically" designed cover for the phone, hence, fully compatible with any game/app - especially in horizontal mode...
Its cheap and seem to make playing more comfortable then holding a bare phone...
BTW - looking at the "Phonejoy" ... I couldn't help myself thinking its probably feasible to utilize a more "universal" solution to work with other ,commonly available, BT controllers - perhaps with few bits of code trickery from an XDA wizard
!?!?!
Wouldn't it be cool?
Did I miss a similar existing project?

You could try this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-Nintendo-SNES-controller-into-bluetooth-/
Basically, the guy took a BGP100's innards and interfaced it with an old SNES controller. Apparently it works quite well, and it seems he takes orders for building one for you.
iControlPad has a set of rubber sides coming soon that converts it into a plain Bluetooth controller without the clamps to hold a phone. SGS2-sized clamps aren't available yet.
Not quite sure what you meant by "passive" tho.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know that info about the iControlPad? Anybody here tried the iControlPad with a SGS2?
BTW I contacted the Phonejoy dealer, and apparently he is hoping to be selling a new model based on the PS3 controller (IE: with added analog sticks) early next month!
That info is available at the iControlPad website.
Has anyone tried that controller with Captivate, specially CM7 roms that work with the Wiimote already?

Looks awesome.
I thought they should make something like this.
this would be great. I am always looking for more gadgets. I hope someone tries it soon.
This other on looks interesting, too. I hook my captivate up to the big screen to watch movies anyway, now I can play games, also. 30 US plus 15 US shipping.

I am about too since they are coming out with other clamps . The current one need to be cut to make it fit somehow but I am willing to put up with it while the new clamps come out.
Anyone tried one of these with the GT10.1? Are they any good?
Main use would be N64oid
Asked the same question in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322716.
Hope you have more luck getting your answers here .
I still think it looks kinda funny and could give you problems with a screen protector (if you use one).
Well the seller says screen protectors make no difference and if you look at his ratings he can probably be trusted, I wolud say it should work fine. I may buy just to see, just think, it would be great not having to connect a wireless controller to play retro games with an emulator
If you do buy one, make sure to report back . I'd really like to know how it works.
This might be stupid but I have the spigen slim armor case and I was thinking how awesome it would be to have all the gameboy buttons to use it as a gameboy. Something that would be compatible with the emulators currently available. Im probably not wording this right but I hope u get were im going with this.:good:
I have no idea what your talking about. But then again I'm purchasing a Moga Power Pro this minute so... close enough? I also have my Xperia Play sitting around if I need portability with my PSP games when I'm at school or hanging out with friends.

Hey sounds like a good idea. Draw up a couple of different plans on how it will work, and do a kickstarter. Maybe you can get enough money to develop it. They have the Logitech pads for phones, why not make an emulator pad for phones. Just mention my name when you are rich and famous off this idea.
Has anybody tested controllers on the fold 2?
For example the razer kishi or the moga ones that use a clip.
WIth xcloud being a thing now this big screen would be great for gaming.
Have you seen the Kishi? It would be physically impossible to fit the Z Fold 2 into that controller.

Use a case with a kickstand, works perfectly

I use a xbox controller, a razr would be bit small though ?
So you haven't researched the Kishi. The Kishi is a usb c controller so you will need to connect the phone into the controller in order for the setup to work.
moga controller seems to be the best, saw somebody mod a clip for it. can be connected via usb and has 2 extra buttons u can map

If you have dualshock, maybe this one is useful. It has no clip, has suction cup.

I'll be buying a flydigi wasp 2 for mine. It worked with the previous fold open, it's fits neatly into the pocket, and if we're being honest all i really need is one analog, so i can aim/steer, the second one is perfectly usable on the screen, and it has plenty of other button, like L1, L2 and even an attachable L3
Does the MOGA XP5-X+ that Samsung sells work with the Fold2 while it's unfolded? I'm just trying to find a controller with a clip that will fit the fold unfolded as an all-in-one without having to mod another clip or use the phone and the controller separately detached from each other.
I bought this 8 bit mini controller so i can play at work with low profile ..works great

Getting mine today. Will let y'all know how it fits.

Isn't that the one that has buttons for triggers? and not real analog ones? Thats a dealbreaker.
Moga XP7-X coming soon!!!!!!

I modified the MOGA XP5-X+...will throw up some pics when I get home tonight.
I cut off the prongs that hold the phone, and attached a magnet (like the flat car mount type without stand). I use the magnets everywhere for my phone mounts, lol...car, bedside, office, bathroom wall in front of the throne. You get it.
With the metal plate inside my case I am able to place the Fold onto the magnet (mostly secure...think I need a stronger magnet than the one I'm using).

I just got myself Flydigi Wee 2T. It does not work with the inner screen. There's some resolution /orientation related issue for the Flydigi software to work with Fold 2 inner screen. Outer screen works fine but who plays game on outer screen.
Other 3rd party controller mapper app like Octopus can work in some games. But I only tested it on very few games.
1) Among us + Octopus, works fine
2) Octopus doesn't work with COD Mobile
3) Asphalt 9 requires Google Play Games login which require additional plug in for Octopus to work.
Octopus app is a whole different story. There seem to be a paid version of it but I'm not willing to spend the money just yet. Review for Octopus ain't great.
TLDR. Flydigi Wee 2T doesn't work with Fold 2 inner screen. According to Flydigi customer support, unknown time frame, if ever, for Fold 2 support.
I'm still exploring for other workarounds (other than Octopus) for it to work with Fold 2.

Dammit, was waiting for it to arrive to really get playing with ps2 emulators and stuff, that's a damn shame. Maybe by the time it arrives they'll have it fixed. I don't get it, it worked for the fold 1 and they're not that much different in terms of internal displays..... Well let me know how it goes with an alternative fix, I appreciate the warning.

I just bought Panda Gamepad Pro keymapper app and it works great with Flydigi Wee 2T.
I could play COD with the panda app mapping. Could play Asphalt 9 too, without the need for Panda App since Asphalt support game controller.
Bummer that I have to pay for the 3rd party keymapping app for the controller to work properly though.
Anyway it works fine now. Will test out more games.

Oh nice, I might give it a try then. Keep me posted !
