After seeing Transformer Prime + Logitech F710 in action, how do we get the same from HTC One X? Tegra 3 was said to support all game controllers like PS3, XBOX360. Does it really work and how to do it so there would be no apps needed like sixaxis and no compatibility issues?
i bought a ps3 controller just for this, but as I sent my first HOX back because of backlight flickering and haven't received a new one yet I haven't been able to try it. I don't think it will work via bluetooth without something like the sixaxis app.
Cant get my ps3 controller connected with the Sixaxis app, the compatibility checker says I'm compatible, used the sixaxispairtool to change the master Bluetooth on my controller to match the phone but when trying to pair it just says no controller found.
There is a video on YouTube of it working on a HOX with stock rooted ROM but I'm using Coredroid.
EDIT
Scratch that, managed to get it working, instructions on the sixaxis devs website a a bit misleading. Makes Shodowgun so much easier
Is it possible to use the Logitech 710 with the HTC One X? If so, how does it work?
Okay, here's the deal xda peoples I recently rooted my phone for sixaxis support. Now, sixaxis compatability reads my DS3 and even gives input feedback, but when I try and use sixaxis controller to connect, it says "connection initializing......connection failed". Wtf is up with that?? Anybody know what I've done wrong/what I NEED to do?
I think it has to do with the bluetooth stacks...
I actually think the first time we actually had bluetooth remote support was when cm7 was being developed because they use the aosp stacks, not tw.
But this is all moot if you're running cm because then I don't know what the problem is lol

1) did you purchase the sixaxis controller app? if not, the app needs to be purchased to use it. the compatibility checker is only used to check to see if it's compatible, which it is with the epic. if I'm not mistaken, it has worked for me on tw gingerbread, cm7, and cm9.
2) did you d/l the sixaxis pair tool from www(dot)dancingpixelstudios(dot)com? it is needed to program the Bluetooth address to the dual shock controller. the bt address you need to program to your dual shock controller shows up on bottom of sixaxis controller app, and you need to enter that bt address into the sixaxis pair tool to program it. just follow the instructions on the website, fairly straightforward.
fyi, once you do that it won't work with a ps3 until you sync it again, which in turn makes it not work with the sixaxis app until you reprogram the bt address again. once you get it working, you'll never wanna play most multi button games on your phone without it! hope this helps and good luck!

Hi everyone,
I've searched all over but can't find the answer. I've used the sixaxis app on many devices before. It doesn't seem to work on the tab s, and I believe it is because newer Samsung devices are missing a certain Bluetooth protocol.
My goal is to connect two PS3 controllers to the Tab S to play emulated games (nes, snes n64,etc.)
Does anyone have any information on how to get it working? Thanks!

I tried all the tricks I know, to no avail, it's really hard to make it work, unless you're willing to do it 'oldschool' style, wired via OTG.
we managed to do this in samsung tab 3 before, 2 PS3 controllers for 2 player fighting games, dunno, seems like we have bluetooth compatibility issues as the PS3 bluetooth is already outdated.
let's here other chime in
what ? sixaxis controller works perfectly on my tab s 10.5 :v no issue . even with wire
Works on my 8.4 too.. have you tried the compatibility checker first ? It only worked after I used it once

you dont need to install that app , just set the host IP for the controller and play . that's all
Well, like I said, didn't work until I tried that. Can't tell why though, never had too before. But I tried it since I remember a while ago, sense and touchwizz used to be not compatible with sixaxis app

ok, wait...so are both of u guys saying that u have a PS3 controller working through BLUETOOTH with the tab S?! If so then could one of u please provide a screenshot as proof and describe your connection method...did u use the pc program or bond with an otg cable through the sixaxis app then pair and what version of the sixis app are u using? Also..are u using original oem sony controllers or ebay branded ones? :confused

@better33
to answer all of the basic questions...yes i'm rooted & yes i've used the app before successfully most recently on the tab pro 8.4 . i really need the above questions i posed to the poster above answered...also as @sku|| suggested i doubt if the compatibility checker helps but yes i've tried that too. Thx for the screenshot though...are u using original sony controllers and more importantly what version of the sixaxis app are u using?
Like I said, it wasn't working the first time, so I downloaded the compatibility checker since I remember there used to be issues with touchwizz, and it said it was compatible. I'm using the official ps3 controller. Are you root ?
Forgot to say, I connected the controller on my computer to change the master address and then connected it through Bluetooth

I'm using the 0.7.4 version, what else do you need?
Hmm interesting. What rom version are you using? It could be regional issue?

Im using 2 official controllers here, one that came with the ps3 that I used on my tab 7.7 with no issues (bluetooth) . And another aftermarker pink controller that I also used with no issues with tab 7.7. Only thing devious and I have in common might be our custom rom which he compiled
I tried connecting it through PC and change the mac address via sixaxis changer. Installed the compatibility checker and eas advised that it's compatible. Bought the sixaxis app. And.. boom. Stuck at 'listening to controllers'. I'll give it a shot once again

I'm having the same issue in my rooted Tab s 10.5. I changed the master to my tablet, then the tablet never sees the controller. Any luck?
Uhhh. Dunno what I did but.. it worked.
Heres what I remembered.
Uninstalled sixaxis.
Downloaded compatibility checker and run
-hooked up my controller via otg and manually typed my bluetooth MAC
Installed Sixaxis
-tried pairing via OTG. Disconnect cable and tried pairing via BT: unsuccessful
*frustrated*
Killed app compatibility checker
Killed app sixaxis
Reopened sixaxis
Clicked change IME - list of keyboard appeared. Tapped sixaxis
Clicked start. It connected.
Mine is :
1. Have a DS3 controller
2. Have a cable and OTG
3. Connect DS3 via OTG
4. Open sixaxis controller app ( v0.7.4)
5. Tap PAIR
6. Disconnect the controller
7. Change IME
8. Tap Start and connect with DS3
9. Done

Actually I remember doing that too (changing the IME BEFORE looking for devices), maybe that's why it worked for me. I'm on the last stock French rom, can't tell you more I'm at work without the tab.

I got it working on Tab S by changing IME to sixaxis > then go to "set up input methods" > made sure sixaxis is checked > into its general settings , checked auto start > then into game setting checking "enable gamepad. Presto!!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback! I am trying very hard to replicate the steps, but I still can't get past the "Listening for controllers" status.
Can anyone please delete all of the six axis settings, and post detailed step by steps from scratch?
Also, I noticed my bluetooth button isn't lit up (indicating that it is on) when I start Sixaxis. And when I try to turn it on, it doesn't.
Thanks for your help!!

Wait, you guys are right.... it is totally random, but I got it working! This time, I did retype the bluetooth address manually and clicked pair (even though it looked the same). Then, it still didn't work. Then I tried it with my regular swiftkey input, and it connected! Then I switched it to six axis.
This was the reason I bought the tablet, so THANK YOU guys for the help (even though we are still kind of puzzled )
I got another simpler method that works, so far so good,
-Force close all sixaxis apps (compatibility checker and sixaxis)
-at the back of the controller, there's a reset button, insert anything small enough and reset it
-connect the controller to your device via OTG
-run sixaxis controller app
-tap pair, then tap pair (the one on pop up)[ensure the bluetooth address is correct]
-disconnect OTG
-turn the controller on
-tap Start.
and there you have it.
edit:
and it will not work again as soon as you paired your device to your Samsung Gear LOL..
what you need to do, after using your Samsung Gear, disconnect it, reboot your device and follow the instructions above, it will sync once again

I got it working perfectly yesterday, but couldn't get it today. I tried your steps over and over again, but no luck!
Any way you can post a video? I will be very thankful to the person who can get this working for me! It is frustrating that it worked yesterday flawlessly with two controllers, but only after hours of messing with it (and it isn't working today!)

I was about to edit my post for the nth time LOl. Sad to say. I does not work again. I was simply lucky that I managed to do it 3 times in a row. Now. It simply doesnt pair. Could be something messing with the bluetooth becuase once you get it to pair initially. Even if you reboot, it would still pair. But once you connect your device to another bluetooth device such as headset/gear. BT will forget the sixaxis profile and you'll have trouble syncing it again. I'm close to giving up. I'm simply using it with USB OTG just to satisfy my game-cravings. Hope the others who got it working chime in once again if they manage to pair it all the time.
Hello, I've recently bought a PS4 controller and I successfully paired it with my phone but the problem is that it doesn't detect any key presses... I've tried the same controller on PC and another phone (running Android KitKat) and it's working fine.
Is this a software issue? How can I fix it? Have anyone tried this too?
Up. Anyone could test this with at least any Bluetooth controller? I heard that s10 had a similar issue and it got solved by an update.

Most devices just don't have the keylayout files for controllers. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to make them work.
If you have magisk, there's a module called 1controller which you can just install to get that file.
If you don't, I also have the specific file you need to get into /system/etc/keylayout, but obviously, you're gonna need root for that.
I'm having the same problem too.
can you please upload a link

The default connection via bluetooth using Playstation controllers doesnt work. Or it doesnt fully work at least. I have experienced it on my ps3 and PS4 controller. The only way a controller works is from a Bluetooth Controller made for Android. Or if you really want to use PS controller, you need an app called Sixaxis Controller.
If your phone is not rooted, the only way to do it is by using sixaxis and connect the PS controller directly via Wire. The sixaxis for the wired and wireless are different so dont buy it on the playstore right away
If you have rooted Access, then you can connect it wirelessly bia the sixaxis app.
Only then it will work as it should be.
The thing is, it actually works with my low-end tablet. So why not with this expensive phone?
Works fine with my Xbox One controller. Son uses it to play minecraft...

Wired or wireless?
Actually, after September update, I just tried to controller again and it's perfectly working through bluetooth.
Xbox One controller works fine via bluetooth, buttons are already mapped.

I dont know what tablet it is but it might be a feature of the tablet. Ps4 controllers have D-Input mapping while android works natively with X-input controllers. Xbox controllers work right away as it works under X-Input
Sixaxis converts that input to a readable input for the android if youll use a ps4 controller.
Edit: good that you had it working.
I am on the latest version of FIre OS (5.2.7.2_r1) and am using a first party PS3 controller, the version with Dualshock and Sixaxis combined
I know this question has been asked and ansered before, but the methods I have tried to use have not worked for me, sadly.
I have tried Using Sixaxis Controller from DancingPixelStudios. I enable and set the IME from a terminal (cannot get a Settings.apk to install) I have set the Bluetooth Master Address both from the USB pairing method built into the app, and with Sixpair on a linux machine (a raspberry pi running the latest version of Raspbian) Stort the server and try to connect, nothing.
I tried the app Sixaxis Enable, which is supposed to connect the DS3 via USB, and I get a message saying that it's not supported.
I found an app called USB/BT Joystick Center. After setting the IME for it and connect my controller via USB, and when I click Search in the app, it finds the Unifying receiver, the powered USB hub I am using (I think) and the PS3 controller. It says that I click on it and it says that it loads a built in keymap or something along those lines, but the controller doesn't work...Maybe I just don't really know how to use the app properly, but so far the help option hasn't actually been much help. It says that if I want to use my PS3 controller over bluetooth, that I will need to connect an external USB Bluetooth Dongle with a CSR chipset (which I don't have)
Something interesting I have noticed, is that I have been getting a pop up request to enter the pin for my controller. I have tried 0000 and 1234, to no avail., Using an app called Bluetooth Settings, I currently have my device set to be fully discoverable and pairable.. What I can take away from this is that my box IS seeing the PS3 controller over bluetooth.
It kinda seems to me like all the methods available to do connect a PS3 controller to the FIre TV are all dead, or I'm doing something wrong, which is more than possible.
So I guess my question is, is there a way nowadays to use my official PS3 controller on my FIre TV? I have no real preferece if it is over USB or Bluetooth. (Unless I have company over Iam usually no further than 5 feet away from the box when I use it) and how do I acheive it if it can still be done?
THank you for the patience!

Funny enough, I actually just recently found your reddit posts about this while looking for something else. Sadly it did not work for me that I know of.
After running your command via adb, my terminal gave me:
"Result: parcell(00000000 00000001 '........')"
Then I went to the Bluetooth menu, pressed the PS button on my PS3 controller, and tried to discover it as both a game controller, and under Other Bluetooth Devices.
Maybe im not doing something right, or maybe because I have the bluetooth master address in the controller set to the Fire's bluetooth MAC address, the fire thinks it is paired when it is not.
Further help would be appreciated if you know what im doing wrong with that method.
The good news though is that I HAVE discovered (or at least there are no nentions about it that I have seen) a method to use an official ps3 controller over USB, and will post a tutorial sometime in the next 24 hours.
Do you have busybox installed? Try it via the terminal emulator app on the device itself.
Also it sounds like you need to pair it again... In the settings forget the device. Then

Busybox is installed to /system/xbin
After trying to run the command in the terminal emulator included in Apps2SD Pro, I got the same response from the terminal and I still couldn't detect the controller over bluetooth.
