Hello, i'd like to know how you can configure a 360 controller to use it on the galaxy nexus. I have a micro usb to usb host plug but the controller isn't recognized by the system by default which surprises me since google announced the compatibility since honeycomb.
thanks for your help
It works for me, however it is useless because the buttons are not mapped in a useful manner for anything lol
well maybe there could be an app to configure it somewhere, i'm gonna search and come back there if I find something.
thanks again

I use USB/bt joystick center. Works great but a little pricey.

I just wish it'd have game support.....controlling a serious game like Modern Combat 3 sucks using the touch screen.....

Actually, for some reason, the gmail button doesnt work :-/ But the other back, home, browser, etc buttons work
Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and keyboard both work. I'm going to play around with the keyboard layout files and see if I can improve it but it works as is.
I've tried to connect my microsoft keyboard and it doesn't get seen, did you do anything specific to get it to connect?

I decided not to link all the threads I found for bluetooth devices... A conservative count would put the number of bluetooth device threads at about 1:12... that's pretty good odds that you did not search, let alone read before posting.
Just a thought. BTW, it helps to put a topic in the thread title.
this is a touch profile custom map for the nexus.. works great. it includes all this bottoms..
Right joystick-AIM
Left joystick-move
Square-reload
Triangle-switch weapons
Circle-Crouch
R1-fire
L1-scope
R2-grenades
L3-Run
Start-Menu
make sure you have the virtual sticks set on the game.. and the sensitivity set to high.
Hope it helps.. let me know if you any suggestions
would this work for the evo 3d?
edit... i know that sixaxis works on the 3d, im just wondering if this profile will, since its in this section. i just did a google search for modern combat 3 sixaxis and this is what i came up with.
help is appreciated and ill thank you for your help.
I would like to know if this works for the Moto xoom
Is there any way to map the military support icon when it's available? I'd hate to have to run to my tv just to call in an air strike! LOL

This isn't working for me. What am I doing wrong?
I downloaded the file and set it as my active profile. Set the controls in the game to analog sticks. Also made sure my input was six axis controller.
The L1 button works to shoot, and the RIGHT joystick is to aim (which only works left/right/down, will not move up). Everything else including left joystick will just fire the gun.
Any ideas?

up! It's obvius that to make this works we need to adapt the scheme for each resolution. For example, I'm trying to do this on my Nexus, but for some reason it doesn't work. This is my actual configuration:

I checked the relevant threads but found nothing like it (i found similar threads but nothing too applicable)
Basically i have ICS on the HP Touchpad (bear with me) I also have an Xperia Play (using the Sony ICS beta) and i recently bought the sixaxis controller app from dancing pixel studios, i don't have a PS3 i bought it based on this idea:
Using the Sixaxis Pair Tool is there anyway we could tweak a driver to allow it to ostensibly pair via USB with the Xperia Play and make it think it is a PS3 controller? the purpose behind this would be to play games like Modern Combat 3, Dead Space, GTA III and others via bluetooth on the HP Touchpad (and other android tablets) using the Xperia Play as the controller?

I think this is not possible because this is hardware but part of the phone its not a PS/2 PC Controller so no But Only if someone made a complete Custom ROM for this. Then maybbe yes

Don't waste your money on that tool, it won't help you. The Sixaxis controller app does exactly the same thing anyway.
The only way you could make this work (if at all) would be write an app for the Xperia Play that creates a bluetooth connection with the tablet and mimics how a PS3 controller would connect. This is a fairly advanced programming topic, and as a beginner, you would probably struggle with it.

This sounds very similar to what you want to accomplish, but I don't know if it has Xperia Play/gamepad support:

It sounds like the Ad-Free version might work:

EDIT: Actually, it looks like the app I mentioned above requires the app to support it, so it may not work with the games you listed... it says it works with many emulators, which support it, but I'm beginning to doubt it would work with the games you mentioned... >_> Maybe worth a try though...

Let me me know how it goes.
I also just dug up this project:
http://code.google.com/p/androhid/
It's a Bluetooth HID client implementation that allows your phone to act as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse. I believe Gamepads are also HID devices, so it might not be too hard to take that and add Xperia Play support to expose the gamepad as a Bluetooth HID gamepad.
EDIT: Or nevermind... that only allows your phone to act as a Bluetooth keyboard, not mouse... and thus not gamepad, but still may be a good starting point...
Looks like the poor guy had to tackle a few nasty implementation challenges on Android:

Your app (sixaxis) is cool for if you want to use a ps3 pad with tab or something. but he want's to use his play which he could just use Droid-mote to do.
What would be more interesting is to use an app like sixaxis to enable the xperia play pad to be mapped to your touch profile set up. then us xperia play users could play any android game with are control pad not just optimized one's.

Fowl language? He was just saying that because your post started with "I think it's not possible..." and ended with "...so maybe yes", making it an awfully relatively long answer. But if it makes you feel any better, I don't find your post utter crap
BTW and off topic, I don't get why all kids, teenagers, and generally young people write like "What? That is Not Possible.. How Can That be??" (Yes, I'm talking about the Camel Caps, not about the actual post content).

Lol "fowl" language. Cluck cluck xD
Droidmote seemed the most likely candidate for this, unfortunately when trying to start the server i get "CRC32 check failed" i have stopped the app and cleared data (as suggested by others on the market) to no avail, i have contacted the developer to see if i can get this sorted.
EDIT: ok i managed to get this working by uninstalling the server, updating busybox and superuser and reinstalling it, its a great little app for controlling as a mouse, i havent quite figured out its controller setting yet but it looks promising, however it does seem to not respond to the xperia plays gamepad at all it instead uses the buttons to control the onscreen menus, but it's progress

with DroidMote installed on your Xperia Play you can use your phisical buttons to control a tablet, for the analog parts you have two virtual stick onscreen. you can use this to remote control all games that support gamepad on your tablet.
with the onscreen touchpad, now you can also have a remote multitouch touchpad like the apple magic trackpad if you hace ics on your tablet.

I tried this with my xperia play and ICS tablet, i installed GTA III on the tablet but the most i can do is walkaround using the analog stick in droidmote, the x/b/a/y etc.. buttons do nothing and the physical buttons don't respond at all.

It's actually quite funny how it works Using you phone as a controller and tablet as console really gives a "yo dawg..." Xzibit-ish impression. However, I noticed my phone battery dies really quickly using this app.

I used the blueputdroid app....it is ok...i wish it had a keyboard so you can type in the web browser or search fields. It has a gesture remote control where you just gesture around with your finger and it draws a line with it. but i am looking for something more that has more features.

Sweet thanks, I may have to give that a try. I'll need to root my device first I guess.
Using the OUYA's default keyboard with the touchpad is an aweful pain. I was wondering if there is a keyboard out there that plays well with the controller (D-Pad especially). I was able to install Google's Keyboard but it is not really better than the default one. Anyone found an alternative ?

Ditto for blueboard.
is that the only one that works well for it or possibly the only one that works at current? swift keyboard?
Blue Board is an app that you put on your OUYA, and on your phone or tablet. Once you parent connect them, whatever you type on your phone or tablet pops up on your OUYA.
Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).
Thanks !
Thanks for blueboard. Anyone has another option that does not require to switch to a tablet or phone ?
You'll never find a good option while using the controller, your best bet is to use a phone like otheres have said, or bt keyboard I suppose.
I have a couple questions reguarding this though. Does blueboard also have touch pad function? I used droidmote on my mk802 and it was great, it had keyboard, mouse, directional, media controls, even a touch gamepad mode. Has anyone tried this on ouya yet?
