PS2 controller problems when playing

I have a PS2 controller that i connect trough an adapter to convert the PS2 port to USB, then i connect the USB Male to a Hub that i connect to the Female USB connected to my Galaxy Nexus... a little bit confusing...
Is necesary to connect the controller in this way, because if i connect it directly trough the microUSB to USB adapter it doesn't work, i don't know why.
The problem start when i try to play games, because it looks like the system detects the x axis is stuck! I try it with 2 controllers that i use regularly with the PS2.
I tested the controller with Shadowgun and Riptide, and both games are having problems... with Shadowgun the character is stuck in a circular movement that doesn't allow me to play, and Riptide seems to work fine, but when the character jumps just a little, it falls inmediately because he tries to make a stunt.
The problem doesn't stops there, because i'm not able to play Shadowgun until i reboot, because the character continues his circular movement, despite the fact that the controller isn't connected.
For the moment i don't have any games to try, but i know the controller works well, because i used it several times with a Toshiba Thrive without problems.
I'm using AOKP 37 + 3.0.8 - GlaDOS-v1.34.
Any help or suggestion would be very appreciated!

If you have a ps3 controller with cyanogenmod I know you can pair it using sixaxis controller app. But it costs $ on the market. At $60 retail you may be better off picking one up at a gaming store, eBay or Craig's list
Galaxy Nexus, enough said

I know the PS3 controller works, but since i don't have one, and i do have a PS2 controller with all the cables/adapters/connectors, i think it worths the try. Besides, the PS2 controller worked for me with Honeycomb! The only difference between the Toshiba Thrive and the Galaxy Nexus is the full USB port in the Thrive.

Ok, i tried it with GTA 3 and the character is spinning to the left...
I think maybe it could be the Hub, but i tried it with my PC and there's nothing wrong with it.
I was wondering why i need to plug the controller trough a Hub instead of plugging it directly to the Female USB? If i do it that way the controller is not detected at all!

C'mon, nobody have any clue about this issue?!
I'm going to try if it works using a Stock Rom of Ice Cream Sandwich without a custom kernel.
Again, your help is truly appreciated!

Ok, i was trying to get results with other Roms but i got the same results...
I installed the stock ICS 4.0.4 without Rooting nor Recovery, but i got the same results...
How can't anyone have a clue about this issue?!
I realized that when i try to set a button of the PS2 controller in Shadowgun, no matters what button i try to set, the Joystick Axis 3+ button appears.... and actually thats the one stucked...
Please! Any help?

360 controller on note8

Hey dudes,
I have a wired 360 controller and tried plugging it into my note 8.All I get is a blinking green circle on the controller and nothing on the note. Anyone know how to get it working? I'm using an OTG micro to usb cable.

I thought that although the PS3 controler is plug and play with andoid, the 360 controller is not, or at least not very easily set up.
I use my PS3 controller both as a plug and play controller and as a bluetooth controller (when I can be bothered to set it up, loading the address into it can be a bit of a pain since I use it with my PS3 as well).

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.

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.

[HOWTO] Using a PlayStation 3 Controller for Ouya

First of all, this is NOT my How To. It belongs to James Andrew Coote and the original Post about this can be found here: How to Pair a PS3 Controller
Maybe the Mods will find this Post useful for the users and will stick it, or it will be deleted :/
I thought that this is a very common question and i didn't see a "sticky-post" about this.
Here we go:
1. Turn your OUYA on and make sure you have at least one OUYA controller paired
2. Plug your PS3 Controller into your OUYA using a mini-USB to standard USB cable
3. Hold down the home button on your PS3 controller. This should take you back to the OUYA home screen. Make sure the PS3 controller is working by using it to navigate the menus. You will also note that the OUYA controller has been disconnected and won't pair. This is because plugging in the PS3 controller on USB turns off bluetooth.
4. To solve this, first completely power down your OUYA. You can do this by either holding down the power button on the top of the console for 5 seconds (recommended) or unplugging the power cable.
5. Unplug the PS3 controller from the mini-USB wire, and unplug the same wire from the OUYA.
6. Turn the OUYA back on. When it finishes booting up, you should see the usual pairing screen appear
7. Hold down the home button on the PS3 controller as you would with a normal OUYA controller to pair it. Other OUYA controllers should now also pair

And please do not forget:
It should be noted that not all OUYA games support the PS3 controller. However, it should allow you at a minimum to navigate the OUYA menu

Xbox controllers are not Bluetooth. They won't work without the USB wireless device.
I've tested this and it requires the cable at first to grab its MAC address and setup the wireless pairing. The controller only connects with to a device with a specific MAC address. Even on Android, you have to connect it up to your PC first before it will pair.
This is pretty easy though. Connect with USB, reboot, and pair.

Anyone else have there ps3 controller red lights keep flashing and not sync with the ouya at all?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app

Just tried it and it worked thanks

My red lights always flash, even after paired and when using. That is normal. Make sure you hook it up to USB first, make sure you can control it using Wired, then pull the power from the Ouya and remove the USB. When it boots back up, at the Pairing screen, you can pair the PS3 wirelessly.
Then it works just like the Ouya controller. You can jump in any time.

Anyway to turn off the PS3 controller once it's connected without manually turning off the OUYA? That seems to be the only way other than going into BT settings and disconnecting it.

Controller pairing

Hi, I've got the d855 g3, I play games on it a lot, a while back I tried using a keyboard and mouse to play gta San andreas, it sort of worked, except for the mouse which just made me keep spinning. I got a wired xbox 360 controller recently and plugged that into my phone. It worked, I tried San andreas again but I had no control of the direction I'd be looking, the camera was circling my character. So then I tried modern combat 5, it didn't work either, it just looked up, whilst all my other buttons and controls worked. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You can use Sixaxis app with a PS3 controller (Bluetooth) and it will work natively without setting up a controller profile.

That's not really what I meant, it's noth8ng to do with the controller profile, every controller just looks up, whether it's the mouse and keyboard or my wired xbox controller, I dint have a Sony console, so buying a dualshock would be a waste. Have you got a fix for the looking up problem?

Anyone else?

Nvm worked it out.had to enter some type of code onto a terminal emulator. Search it on xda forums if you need it.
