Xbox 360 controller to Galaxy Note 2.

Hi guys.
I have got a USB OTG cable and a wired Xbox 360 controller. I have used this to connect my Xbox 360 controller to the phone. However, when I try to play Shadowgun Deadzone nothing happens when using the controller yet my touchscreen responds ok in the game. I thought Shadowgun natively supports the controller? When I connect the controller to the phone all that happens is the four green lights around the large "X" button simultaneously flash on and off and nothing else. Could any of you guys possibly tell me what could be wrong please? Thanks for any help.

i have the wirless xbox 360 pad and i´ve managed to get it working by using this :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wb2tlNjQ3MzgudXNiam95Il0.
plugin the pad, start app,configure,works =)

what is every one using to control there favorite games

So im curious, since the controller dosent really work smoothly with most side loaded games from the plays store. what is everyone using to play them (ex minecraft)? Are you using a app to smooth out the bumps or have you used a ps3 or wii controller and one of the many apps for that? i havent really found a good way yet what about you all?:fingers-crossed:

I am mostly removing apps which are not working good with controller but would like to know how to get them going.
but there are quite a few application which are working too good with the controller.

Well considering Ouya goes retail at the end of this month they really need to start working on the controller issues. And clean out a lot of those games, half of them don't work and the ones that do really really need work on their controller. Also a really nice feature would be if I could hold down the Ouya button to have the option to turn off the console like Xbox and Ps3, I hate getting up to turn it off.

How does ones get a ps3 controller to work?

you can connect the ps3 via blue tooth and use a ps3 controller app like (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd)
and that should work havn't tried it yet though

You would only need that app if the game doesn't natively support it.
If the developer has done a good job, then the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers should work just fine.
For example, Bomb Squad natively "just works" with the standard Ouya controller, wireless and wired Xbox 360 controllers, and PS3 as well.
This weekend we played 6 player Bomb Squad (you can have up to EIGHT players on one TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!) with 2 Ouya controllers via BlueTooth, 2 off-brand USB wired Xbox 360 controllers, and 2 official MS wireless Xbox 360 controllers (connected via the Xbox 360 USB wireless adapter).
BTW, the adapter I am using for Xbox 360 wireless controllers is http://www.ebay.com/itm/370777929957?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
was like $11 and works great, also works on my PC.

Nope, you just plug in the ps3 controller via usb and push the reset button on the back and/or the ps3 button. Bluetooth will get messed up and refuse to turn on. Shut down the Ouya by holding down the power button, unplug the controller, start it back up and all your Ouya and PS3 controllers will connect just fine (if it doesn't work right away, go into the menu to pair controllers and just hold down the ps3 button instead of the ouya button and it will connect). I use 2 Ouya controllers and 2 PS3 controllers.

Dual Shock 4 + Chromecast mirroring = killer app

I managed to get this working and I'm really surprised the ds4 works natively via OTG cable (couldnt get wireless working).
1. connect ds4 via otgcable
2. use this if the controller doesn't instantly work
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homesoft.otgtroubshooter
3. start favorite game or emulator
4. press cast screen under the quick settings
can confirm it works with leos fortune.. enjoy
btw im stock rooted 4.4.4 but i don't think you need root for this...

Isn't the lag huge using this method? Games like sonic or Mario would be near unplayable

Curious about this as well. I would think any Chromcast/Miracast type technology would have too much lag based on controller input to screen lag..

mario kart is playable... this isn't my video but i also tested with leos fortune and its playable too

In one of the latest PS4 firmware updates, it added a pair function to the DS4 controller so you can use the controller with a PS3 too, and I just tried it with my Nexus 7 2013 and it paired instantly through bluetooth WITHOUT having to use any 3rd party app
- When the DS4 is off, press and hold the Share button and the PS Button and it enters pairing mode
- Search for bluetooth devices with your phone/tablet and it came up straight away as Wireless Controller
:highfive:

I've tried to play "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" via Chromecast and a controller...: About 1-1,5 second lag, Quality drops extremely and ther's no Sound....

I love you for this! I got it working on my Nexus 7 2013 using the Android L preview...
No luck on my Samsung Note 3. It just says pairing.. and doesn't do much.
Either way, thank you very much for this info!

It really depends on your network tremendously. My friends miracast has a ton of lag while on my chromecast there is less than a half second lag, sonic was very playable, except for the random moments of lag.

I've got 150Mb/s, shoud be enough for that. Other (more powerful) things work seamlessly over the same network

I'm having an issue with wirelessly pairing my dualshock 4 to my nexus 7 2013. When I enable pairing mode on the controller, the light will blink on it and it'll show up on the tablet. I tap 'pair' on the tablet and it pairs successfully, but the light on the controller continues to blink, then it eventually stops blinking. Again, it states that it's paired on the tablet, but I can't actually use the controller.
Any ideas?

OUYA Controller with CM11

How do I use the ouya controller like a mouse? e.g. freely movable d-stick instead of having to scroll left or right through the clickable objects?

My controller works fine on CM11 using the trackpad in the middle as the mouse with the normal tap to click.

Id like this as well. My nVidia Shield has this and itd be much better than using the track pad on the controller.

really? any settings you changed? right now i am at vanilla cm11, i haven't changed any settings. do i need to disconnect keyboard for it to work? thanks

I only loaded the nightly and the controller overlay zip but nothing else. I just paired it and that was it.

Work fine here too

I think he's talking about using the analog stick, not the trackpad in the middle of the controller. I find the trackpad be very hard to use especially when trying to click and drag. Having the analog stick control the mouse would be great imo

Hi guys, I'm new to posting on here but have been following all over XDA for a while.
The track pad on the stock Ouya controller is very buggy when not running on the stock platform. If you connect the Ouya controller to another Bluetooth device, you will see for yourself the controls become erratic. I was using the track pad on the controller while running CM 11 on my Ouya but found it annoying at best. I have read all over, that if you connect most any 3rd party Bluetooth controller, they will work much better with the Ouya than then stock controller. Personally, I purchased a powered 7-port USB from Amazon, the Amazon basics brand. It has 2 USB 2.0 USB and 5 1.1 USB ports. I can plug in external hard drives, keyboards, USB mouse, and charge my phone while I'm at it. Bluetooth media remotes work well too, check amazon. But they are pricey and can run you more than a decent media keyboard.
As for successfully get the analog stick to control the arrow, it would be great. But I haven't seen it yet. Try a computer mouse. You have a powerful computer at your disposal.

using a game controller for mouse functionality...

I am currently using the Sixaxis app with sony ps3 dualshock controller to control my fire tv - it works great - has support for home button, mouse mode and can be customized very well.
My only problem is that, the controller will not charge no matter what - from the fire tv directly, or when connected to pc, or from a wall charger.
The only way to charge it is to reset it (via the small pinhole in the back), or connect it to ps3 - this will make it lose the pairing with the fire tv and it will start charging again. I will have to set the bluetooth address again via the SixaxisPairTool from PC to get it to pair with the fire tv again.
My first question is - does the charging work for you after you have used the SixaxisPairTool from PC?
I also have a gamestop red samurai v2 controller. This pairs and works with the fire tv without any special app. However, misses mouse control.
I went through the threads here and understand that by creating a custom keyboard.kl file we can get the behavior we want for that controller. Can that idea be used to control mouse behavior as well? Any pointers would be welcome.
Thanks.

hah, so you're here as well... I also have/had ps3 controller paired with sixaxis, but I haven't used it for a while and ATM does need to be charged with actual PS3.
So, to answer your question PS3 controller did work(charged via phone charger and xbox one usb) for me after it was paired with sixaxis for long time until eventually I stopped using it and then ran out of juice. Now it needs PS3 to charge again (maybe once), before I can reuse wall charger. Problem is, I don't have PS3 on me.

yep. the ps3 controller with sixaxis app works so beautifully with both regular apps and side loaded apps (that require mouse), it is a shame that it cannot be charged.
i have it setup such that the right analog is mouse (always in mouse mode), left analog is rew/ff/prev/next, d-pad is d-pad, L1 and R1 are left and right mouse, etc.
the problem is the sixaxis tool works only with sony ps3 controller. is there any other app like this that will do the same with any controller? thanks.

well there are xbox 360 and xbox one controllers "how to" here, but I haven't tried them since both somewhat requires usb cable or dongle because they are not bluetooth based. and just repeating myself here, but ps3 controller does charge using other options and NOT ps3 only. BUT if it dies, then PS3 is required to recharge because you'll have to reset it.

ok. i am not sure why the charging does not work for me though. it won't even charge from PC once the SixAxisPairTool changes the mac address.
i saw the tincore app and i am planning to try it today with my gamestop controller.

How did you configure the sixaxis controller app? Whenever I try to connect the controller it never finds it even if i have the correct bluetooth address paired.

SUCCESS with tincore app. configuration is a bit difficult due to access via the fire tv remote and due to some menu items not showing up fully. however, once configured, the gamestop red samurai v2 remote works flawlessly - for necessary buttons as well as mouse.
i cannot get it to auto apply on restart and will investigate that later. for now, i am happy . thanks.

not sure what you are missing, but you can try this:
1. start the sixaxis server in fire tv and get the bluetooth address from bottom left
2. use the SixaxisPairTool in PC to set that address on the controller (for good measure you can reset the controller first by the pinhole in the back)
3. now pressing the glass PS button on controller should pair it
