Sup guys? I was wondering if there are any Bluetooth gamepads out that work with the EVO? Any help would be appreciated
First of all, you won't be able to use a bluetooth gamepad on the stock HTC Sense ROM. The only way that I know of to get it working is to root and install Cyanogen Mod. Then install Wiimote Controller from the market (free) and you can use a Wii controller with bluetooth.
If you want more buttons/options, there's the Datel Retro Wireless controller (wiimote replacement) or the Nintendo Classic Controller Pro, which has to be tethered to a wiimote. Same goes for the Nyko Wing.

Which one?
You can get a wiimote anywhere. Ebay is always a good option.
The Datel controllers are harder to come by, you'll have to Google it.

Oh sorry I read that too fast. I thought it was more complicated - thought you needed hardware in addition to the wiimote.
Are there any controllers you can use that have more keys than a wiimote? (or is that Datel)
wiimote woudl be great for NES, but for SNES seems like it wouldn't work so well.
So there is no possible way to get a Bluetooth controller to work unless my phone is rooted? That really sucks. If anyone knows of a way to get a controller to work without root please let us know

Right. It's not an Android issue, it's an HTC issue. Some (all?) of their phones, including the Evo cannot work with a Bluetooth gamepad out of the box for some reason. Speculation was that they mucked with the Bluetooth stack in Sense but the latest reports say that's untrue, there's some other reason it's not working.
Regardless, you've gotta root if you want Bluetooth gaming on your Evo.
On the upside, rooting rocks for a lot of other reasons so don't be discouraged

Yeah, that's what I was saying about the Datel / Nyko Wing / Nintendo Classic Controllers.
The Classic Controller is identical, button-wise, to a SNES controller
The Classic Controller Pro is like a mix between a SNES and a Gamecube controller. It's the best for PSX games since it has 2 R/L buttons and joysticks.

damn so we're looking at around $65 for that route. And it's annoying that you have to carry around two controllers! Wish there was another standalone bluetooth controller with more buttons!

Well you can get a Wiimote and a Classic Controller Pro for about $10 each on eBay, so it's not that bad.
Carrying 2 controllers does suck, yes. The Datel is the best option, if you can find it, but that's like $50+

Yes you can use a bluetooth gamepad with sense installed. I use the BGP-100 bluetooth gamepad with my stock EVO. However the wiimote will not work.

Really?? I didn't know that worked with Sense. Cool.
Though I always thought that controller looked sorta janky and wouldn't be the best to play on. What are your experiences?
What emu's have you tried it with? I play PSX on my Evo so the R+L buttons are important. Looks like that gamepad only has one each?

That's the Nyko Wing I was telling you about. It still needs a Wiimote - it's got a wireless transceiver that plugs into a Wiimote extension port (where you'd plug a nunchuck into). So it's technically wireless but you still need a Wiimote handy to use it.

The gamepad is more comfortable than it looks. But, there is a tiny bit of lag when pressing the button to when actually seeing an onscreen action. It works great with RPG's, but takes getting used to with faster paced games. I only played with the Gameboy Advance emulator so far.
I did buy the PSX emulator but havent had the time to play any PSX games on it yet. I also did a hard reset on my phone after installing FROYO so I have to reinstall the gamepad drivers. I'll have more time this weekend to play around with the gamepad, so I'll give you a better update. I'll also post some vids.

No dice. PS3 controllers don't work [yet, if ever]. The developer of the Wiimote Controller app recently got a PS3 controller to try to develop compatibility for it but the last I heard he said it was a completely different animal and would not be so easy to do. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Cool, thanks for the info. Sounds like I'd still probably rather stick with a Wiimote just for playability/flexibility. I like the compactness of yours though... and yours would be a great fit for FF7, etc with the PSX emu.

Yep. On the other hand the Wiimote is actually the best option for an original NES/Gameboy emu, if that's what you're after. Plus you can get a hacked original NES controller accessory for the Wiimote on eBay if you REALLY want the authentic retro thing
Personally I think the best options are:
NES / Gameboy: Wiimote only
SNES / Sega plus above: Wiimote + Classic Controller
PSX plus above: Wiimote + Classic Controller Pro
Or, if you can find it/are willing to splurge, the Datel Retro Wireless for everything.

Hello,
i want to know, what's the best Bluetooth gamepad for the galaxy s2.
I want to play game with emulator like Snesoid or game like Shadow gun.
Thank you
I use a Sixaxis on mine. Need Sixaxis app from the market though.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for this?
Tried everything to enable wii remote to my SGSII without sucess...anyone managed to do it?
Sixaxis PS3 controller is definitely the best.
I'm extremely sorely tempted by icontrolpad or the rip-off gametel version. £40 just seems a bit pricey to take a punt on, though. But love the idea ofthe control integrating with the phone!
I am interested to know if there is any chance of getting the analogue nubs to match on screen controls in Android like the icontrolpad pad team have managed on IOS.
If they managed that then I reckon the icontrolpad would be a must purchase.
They are frustratingly bad at getting back to your emails mind. Rather puts me off spending a lot of wedge on one.

Thanks! I think I'm gonna have to go for it. Hopefully I won't regret the spend as its probably a touch more than I'd like to spend on it.
definitely the PS3 controller. You also need the bluetooth gamepad app off the market.
ps3 pad along with the app works great for me... Even if i didn't have a PS3 pad don't think i could justify paying £40 for one of the flimsy bluetooth smartphone pads that are out there...
+1 for the sisaxis controller

I tried with a knock-off ps3 controller (which, incidentally, DOES work with my ps3), but it didn't work with the SixAxis app on my phone. It DID work with my OEM ps3 controller though.
It works on ohter roms than stock, im using mine wiimote on CyanogenMod 7. But only custom-input configurable apps allow to use it, like GBA or PSX emulators

Non-genuine.
Do any non-genuine pads work with our S2?
I want to buy a pad but dont have PS3 and getting the genuine controller is quite expensive and not worth just to play on my phone.

I just received my iCade 8-Bitty controller in the mail from ThinkGeek. I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to work in the few apps I've tried.
I have successfully paired the device with the tablet, but it doesn't seem to be receiving any inputs from the controller.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35167558
According to this thread, people have used the app BluezHID to get the 8-bitty to work as a keyboard, and successfully map controls in emulators, on the Original N7.
I've tried BluezHID on my 2013 N7 to no avail, i get an error: bt socket connect failed message no matter what I try.
Seems iCade support requires "L2CAP" to work with the Bluetooth stack. Any clue if this is supported on the 2013 N7?
Has anyone else tried the 8-bitty or other iCade sticks on the 2013 N7 yet?
I will keep trying a few other game apps and see if anything works. I'll update this thread as I figure stuff out.
Edit:
Initial tests indicate that the pad connects, is seen, but in MAME4Droid, every button is read as "unknown", making mapping impossible. Will keep trying.
Edit2:
Seems BluezHID will NEVER work as they changed the way Bluetooth connects in 4.2.2 (N7 is at 4.3), it never releases the bluetooth connection. A custom ROM may fix this. *SIGH*
Edit 3:
Seems with 4.3 Bluetooth gamepads are near broken, I need some general advice about using Bluetooth Controllers with the 2013 Nexus 7.
Bump for title change. I need some more general advice with Bluetooth Controllers.
The best bluetooth controller I've found is the the official PS3 controller. If you have a PS3 system then you're all set. If not, you can usually get one for less than $30 brand new. There are tons of knockoffs that can cost about half or less, but it's a hit or miss with those. If you don't care about being wireless, then just get a wired controller, xbox360 controller for example, which is cheaper and will also work.
Hmm, I do have a wired 360 Controller, I would assume a USB to micro-USB adapter is required. Is there any app needed? Does it require root? Is the 2013 Nexus 7 USB-OTG capable?
Tried my XBOX360 Wired controller and a USB to Micro USB adapter that I had lying around, and did not work. Didn't even light up. Granted, I'm not sure if this adapter ever worked, but I have no clue if the 2013 N7 even has the OTG capability.
Any other ideas?
I have the steelseries free that I bought used from eBay at 35.

Well, bought a powered USB Hub and it still didn't work with my OTG adapter, so its obviously at fault. I have another OTG Cable on the way, one recommended by an XDA forum thread, but it won't get here for a month. Blech.
I need to peruse the forums some more and see if there is a good list of Bluetooth controllers somewhere.
I have been using Moga Pro
and I have no complaints, came with a little tablet stand too. I have been using it flawlessly on emulators like Drastic DS and supergnes and MyBoy. Also, it works with the Moga software which is growing it's library of supported games all the time. I love it and honestly it feels better than the PS3 controller in my humble opinion. They just recently released a new line of Moga controllers where they charge youre device while playing, sounds cool but I always carry extra battery packs with me so it's not necessary for me.

Finally got ahold of my FC30, and I'm sad to report it doesn't work as advertised. Works fine as a USB PC controller, but I have troubles getting it to connect to my N7 (2013) reliably. The touchscreen emulation hasn't worked yet, as it will never successfully connect in the touchscreen emu mode with the included .apk. However, this gamepad has the ability to update the firmware, so its possible to fix these issues.
My conclusion: DON'T BUY. At least until they fix connectivity.

Just got my Moga pro and I have to say it does great for Games that support it directly and with the Universal Driver on the Play store it works great with the emulators I use. Pleasantly surprised that I don't have to be rooted for the Universal Driver to work either. I had been using the Sixaxis app with a PS3 controller up till now but I wanted to see if I really needed to root my new N7 so I grabbed the Moga to try.

Another vote for the Sony PS3 Sixasis controller!! I use a PS3 controller with my Asus Infinity, Note 2, Evo LTE, and of course N7 FHD. Best part is that it works flawlessly with EVERY game too!! Even if the game isn't set to support a controller, you can use the Sixasis app and customize the controller button presses to emulate a screen touch. Absolutely LOVE that feature and ability!! I set some custom game button mappings for some games that already natively support controllers, just because I prefer the button presses to do something different. You can make and save different controller button mappings (just called "maps" in the Sixasis app) for each individual game, or even make multiple maps for each game if you'd like. The app is very flexible and allows you to fully customize everything to your liking! I don't believe there's another controller option out there that offers as much flexibility and in depth customizations as does a Sixasis controller with the Sixasis app!! I'm excited to get the PS4 system and to use PS4 Sixasis controllers with my Android devices!!
Needless to say, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going with a PS3 controller and the Sixasis app!!!!

I have been using the wired 360 controller for awhile now, for both my PC and Nexus7 (both gens). Works well, though it is a little awkward finding a good spot for the tablet since your hands are both on the controller (unless you have a stand or are sitting at a table).
If you want a wired one then I would high recommend it.

i looking now this http://buy.thegameklip.com/
and this http://www.mogaanywhere.com/controllers/moga-pro-controller/
i want 1 for easy use w/o root
One is jsut a holder that you need a PS3 controller to use, the other is the clip built into their controller. Depends if you want to buy a PS3 controller ot use or already have one.
As for if they need root, I don't know, but they are kind of two different products.
So if you want to play emulators than the second one isn't something for you. If you already have a Ps3 then the choice should be very clear.

xbox 360 controller is good I am using it too
These are cool I have never seen them before. I just plug my regular PS3 controller into it and set the phone up on a stand. It works with no extra programs which is awesome. Best is if you are rooted you can make the PS3 controller work with bluetooth and plug the S3 into a tv. Using a PS3 controller and seeing the image on the tv is pretty amazing and makes you feel like it's a real video game system.
i actually use the red samurai controller from gamestop...the great thing about it is that my laptop has bluetooth capability so i can use it on that as well...ive had it for about a year now and still runs like its brand new
I'd recommend the MOGA PRO series, really. It's quick and easy to set up & configure, and it supports most of the games.
The Galaxy SIII natively recognize PS3 controller via USB so it's still cool. Configuring bluetooth for the wireless one can be a pain, though (you'll need root access and a third party app)
As a side note, the MOGA CAN play emulators. The latest version of PSX emulators for Android already support this controller. As for the others (SNES, GBA, NDS etc) you can just manually map the buttons.
I'd recommend the Moga Pro too. Had it for quite some time and works like charm. Good to hold and play and nice battery backup.
I didn't know you could use a xbox controller. Looks like I will be trying mine.
Hi guys anyone have any luck pairing the 7" hdx with any bluetooth controllers to use for games and emulators? i have searched online and all that i can see is that the fire tv controller can be used, but since it uses bluetooth is it possible for any bluetooth controllers ie. ps3/nyko gamepad to sync and be used to play games? thanks.

I'm running the HDX Nexus 1.4 ROM right now and have tried using the Sixaxis Controller app on the Play Store to get the PS3 controller working and have failed so far. I have been meaning to post here to see if anyone else has gotten it to work. Not sure if it is a kernel level issue or if it is with the ROM. I also have an iControlpad I have used in the past with iPhones and other computers that is bluetooth and should work just fine, but haven't tested it just yet.

Thanks for the reply guys. Yea i am also wondering why the ps3 controllers will not sync. I have not tried other pads since they might not pair and will be just a waste of money. Hopefully someone had some success with some Nyko gamepads/IPEGA pads since those are also bluetooth controllers that has some favorable reviews online.
Hi I've also tried the PS3 Controller app but I can tell you this controller from Gamestop works. Google "Tablet Wireless Game Controller V2" it selling for $15 and works well enough I'm sure there are better ones though. The Moga Pocket works (Tried it on stock) but, it didn't fit my needs. I've used it under stock and Nexus 1.3 I hope that helps I forgot to add mine is the Wifi 8.9 HDX
Yeah its currently impossible to get the PS3 controller working becuase of the kernel but other controllers like my MOGA Pro Power work perfectly fine. I have using it to play several different emulators. My only issue is that ePSXe doesn't have any audio playback on the Kindle Fire HDX
I've tried a micro to mini USB cable for a PS3 controller as well, but, as you can assume, that didn't work either.

I may need to pick one of these up. I want it for emulators and Limelight.
Has anyone been able to use a controller with Limelight? It's the app that allows you to stream games like the NVidia Shield. Same tech, reverse engineered.
I tried Nyko with my HDX8.9 and it works with joystick center in google play. But the gamepad itself is not really high quality.

Finally got around to picking up this controller. It's working great. I've tested it with emulators as well as with the Limelight app streaming from my PC. I am using the Nexus ROM.
Now that we have the signature bypass exploit, is there any way to enable support for this?

I can second this. I bought the gamestop branded controller, however mine is a version 1. It's (or was, not sure anymore) on sale for $9.99, I originally bought it to use with my phone over a year ago. I recently found out last week that it works with my HDX 7 3rd gen. Mine is stock, non rooted, and on the latest update. I've played ROMS on it with mugen n64 plus ROM emulator app. Works great after you assign the buttons you want to use within the app.
One of the best $10 I spent in my life.
The Nyko & the OEM game controller for the Fire TV also works on the KFHD, KFHDX, FHDX, Fire TV Stick & of course the Fire TV.
