[Q] Sixaxis button config help - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I downloaded the sixaxis controller recently and connected my rooted s3 to the controller via bluetooth and everything went smoothly but when i play a game and press start it quits me out to the home screen on my phone. Do I need to reconfigure my controller mappings? Can I make my controller only work for games and not control my phone? This is a difficult thing to google so II'm hoping someone here can help.
Thanks.

Unfortunately I left my SixAxis at home so I'm unable to help you there, sorry!

I got it to work. I'm just an idiot and didn't enable the controller in the emulator. Thanks anyway.

Bluetooth controller

Does anyone know of any good bt controllers that I could use on my one x for games etc?

I don't have my phone yet (coming later today) I wonder if sixaxis works.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
anyone try it yet?
wont work on sense roms well tbh don't really know about s4.0 but on previos sense based roms sixaxis does not obtain the required permissions for bluetooth. should work on a ice non sense rom running on a one x.
Phonejoy's should work, they worked with other recent HTCs that I'd tried. I get my One X next week and have Phonejoy's, WiiMotes, Datel Retro Wireless, Logitech F310 and PS3 controllers at home. Will let you know which work!

I have a rooted and de-odexed rom running ICS. Have attempted to overwrite the bluetooth .apk as per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560647&page=2
Sixaxis won't ID my bluetooth, or pair after changing the master.
After pressing the start button, the sixaxis compatibility fails to connect.
Are there any ways to get sixaxis to work without removing sense completely? Can anyone confirm it working on a rooted vivid/raider??
Not sure exactly what your doing but i found the instructions for pairing misleading.
After changing the master ID you need to unplug the usb cable in order to pair it, instructions doesnt tell you to unplug it until after it's paired. if you try and pair it with the usb pluged in it says failed and tells you to plug it in when in fact you actually have to unplug it.
I have a sense rom and it works fine with it.
I never had to do anything with overwriting the bluetooth apk.
Shouldn't need to adjust anything what so ever, if you have a ps3 pad you can use sixaxis and it works like a charm, you can also set buttons on the ps3 pad to emulate as hardware keys on your phone, as well as emulated touchscreen controls,
You could add the left analog stick and a certian area of the screen, and it'll only go within the radius of that area.
I can confirm that Sixxaxis works like a charm on the HTC One x, I use it for FPSE (psx emulator) Cs 1.6, Shadowgun, Minecraft, GTA III, and BFBC2 ! If you like i can setup a video on how i done everything
You will need to root it and have SU !

I've got the stock at&t ics rom(rooted/su) and sixaxis compatibility doesn't seem to connect.
The compatibility checker says click start to show local bluetooth, however, when I start the utility no local address is displayed. Went into setting and checked the address manually.
I downloaded the pairing utility and ran it on my laptop to change the master id.
When I try to pair the controller it says connect via usb. I did try pairing it without it connected.
Without being able to pair it, the checker indicates an error: failed to configure bluetooth. Not a huge surprise. Am I missing some steps? I've tried this many different ways. Thanks for the earlier responses.

AT&T? Is your CPU S4 then? Maybe the Qualcomm uses a different Bluetooth stack because my Tegra3 works perfectly with sixaxis controller app.
If compatability checker doesn't succeed then it probably won't work for you.
Also it must be a genuine controller. Fakes don't seem to work.
After changing master on laptop to the MAC on the app and unplugging the lead you should power on the controller so it is flashing then just press START. That activates the driver and it should show text ending with "client connected:1"
The PAIR CONTROLLER button is for tablets which have USB host functions and can then pair directly without the laptop step.

If there is no address for your local bluetooth on your phone, have you tried checking what the ps3 bluetooth address is and trying to manually search for that address using sixaxis?
It'll usually tell you the address of the ps3 if you had it paired to it last, then just use that address for the manual pair on sixaxis basically

Sixaxis Controller

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!

Unofficial how to set up ps3 Sixaxis controller App thread

I have seen so many fellow members having trouble setting up ps3 dual shock to play games on android phones and tablets. So I'm starting this to help out the noobs trying to get their gaming fix on .
You need
1. A rooted Android device 2.2 plus
2. Official Sony ps3 dual shock controller
3. Sixaxis app from Google play store
4. A PC with the sixaxis pair tool downloaded from http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8cU1DBxuLQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
With that in mind watch this video I created covering the basics for profiles and initial set up.
I am in no way shape or form responsible for what you break or screw up. Nor am I affiliated with dancing pixels project.
This thread is for people to share profiles and settings they may use and for others who need help if they are experiencing problems.
Keep in mind using different display dpis will throw off profiles if they are shared.

The instructions here are somewhat out of date, all pairing with PS3 controllers in Sixaxis Controller can now be done on the device itself via a USB OTG connection. No need to PC clients or anything like that. I have a video in my youtube channel showing how to do it now and how to set up touch emulation profiles. Will post it later when I get home.

Some people do not have an OTG cable!
And out of date how. Many devices don't have a USB host so your otg cable dont work. ONLY a select few were deemed even remotely working for the nexus 7. And its pretty self explanatory if u have an otg cable that works along in the app that will recognize your controller.

I get it to connect, but none of my buttons are active, even with the native support games. Not sure how to remedy this situation.
In my experience it takes a little while to get the hang of configuring things in the sixaxis app

First time usng ths app and im impressed. I thought dead trigger was fun with touch but i kept accidentally reloading when i want to either aim or fire. I can already tell im going t blow alot of cash for games on the nexus 7. All i need now is a case with a kickstand or cover that will hold it upright.
Here's a DIY for tablet stands. I personally use the DVD case and its been the best for me using a pipe cleaner instead of string so i can adjust the viewing angles

[Q] Sixaxis with Tab S

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

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.

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 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.

Wireless controller with galaxy A70

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.

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.
