Has anyone managed to get the wireless xbox 360 controller working with the Note II?
I have seen a forum discussions about the wireless controller, but these seemed to be specific to individual devices e.g the S3 and the Nexus 7.
If anyone knows how to do this please give me an idiots guide.
Ps3 controller works. Xbox is not good imo.

If memory serves, xbox360 doesn't use bluetooth. Wii controller will sync, and I've read that ps3 could work. The game would need to support the controller to work. Even android specific controllers, like the Moga, only work with a limited number of games.

The ps3 controller uses bluetooth. With the app six axis you can play any game with the ps3 controller. Six axis is a very robust app. Look for it in the play store. Worth every penny especially when you pair it up with an emulator and mhl adapter.
Only problem is the ps3 controller sucks Imo. Wish I could use the xbox 360 controller.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am aware that the PS3 controller will work. However I don't have a PS3 controller, I have 2 Xbox 360 wireless controllers, and a wireless adaptor, and therefore I would like to use them!
I know that it is possible to make make the nexus 7 and the samsung s3 work with a wireless xbox controller, so in theory there is no reason why the note II will not. As the Xbox controller uses a propriety wireless system (i.e not bluetooth like PS3 and Wiimote) it is necessary to be able to somehow connect the Note to the usb xbox wireless receiver dongle. I can do this through the Note smart dock.
here is a guide for getting the wireless xbox controller to work with some android systems:
(edit - sorry cant post links yet, a quick google will turn up a few hits)
But it is missing an xpad.ko for the Note II, and I don't know how to make one.
I'm not familiar with trying to use Xbox controller. Obviously you're doing to need a OTG USB cable to use the Wireless gaming receiver dongle.
What you may want to try, and make sure you do a Nandroid prior, I would trying using S3 xpad.ko from the S3. I'm not sure what it references, but since are both touchwiz, it should give better odds for working than once from other devices.
PS3 i've gotten to work but xbox would be worth looking into

I intend to use the smart dock but that should work the same as the OTG.
I believe so. I think the more important, and potentially useful bit is trying the S3 ko file.

This thread should be in the general Note II forum, not hidden in the sprint sub forum. Can anyone tell me how I can contact a mod to get it moved, or should I just repost it?
when i was trying to track down my old thread on the same question i came across this one. anyways i thought id show you sprint users some love too and this may help you. ive got my wireless 360 to work and here is how i did it.

Yep.
I have no problems connecting my PS3 controller with OTG, then connecting it via Bluetooth.
I map out the buttons "touch emulation" with an app called "sixaxxis controller" and that makes it so I can even play Gameloft games with it.
And of course I have the usual emulators, dead trigger, etc.

Any good suggestions for a bluetooth gamepad for the Xoom?
I could use the wii remote's but was wondering if there's any better alternatives that anyone can suggest...
Thanks!
Also wondering the same. I think there's a good demand for a nice bluetooth controller. Something similar to the Xbox 360 controller would be nice.
I don't have a ps3 or xbox but i'd happily buy a controller if it worked!
Wii controller, while great - would be slightly annoying as if you use the classic controller the actual wii remote is attached and dangling loose...
Ps3 is bluetooth so could theoretically work, if an app provides support. I picked up a Datel wireless wii Retro classic controller or
whatever on ebay for $20, which should work with one of the wiimote apps. Its basically the wii classic controller without the need to tether it to a regular wiimote for wireless.

Let me now how that works out for u so I can get one as well
Icontrolpad is great little control pad for phones and pc. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered
PS3 Controllers wont work based on the way they pair with the PS3. Tried this and have tried to find apps that would make this work.
Wii!
A Wii controller of course! I got mine up and running fantasticly a couple days ago when N64oid was released. Its very simple and uses bluetooth (obviously). You will need the assistance of the app "Wiimote Controller" that can be found in the Android Market free of cost though to actually pair, but from there on out, your good! And hopefully you didnt even need to go spend any money Hope this helps. Take Care

For those keen on a Classic Controller, but not wanting to have the hassle of connecting to the WiiMote, take a look at the Datel Retro Wireless controller...
Does anyone know what games work with the wii remote / retro controller? I know the emulators work, but I don't think games like Samurai Vengence, Vendetta Online, Airattack HD, or Angry Birds works. Anyone know if there is a way to get them to respond to the controller input?

If you find one for sale somewhere, than let me know. Everywhere I have looked, they have all been sold out, and not a single one is on ebay!
Codejunkies.com I ordered one from there... no mention of out of stock or anything like that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
also ordered one from codejunkies on Tuesday. Haven't gotten a shipping confirmation though.
Turbojunkies, used Shipito to get it sent to me here in NZ. Did get one from Ebay also, but they are only occasionally available via Ebay.
EDIT: Not sure what happened there, mine should read codejunkies also, not turbojunkies (awesome brain explosion though).
Here's what CodeJunkies just said about my order.
Your order is currently in transit between our UK office and our office in the US. Once it arrives in the US, it will be shipped out via UPS with the following tracking # 1z***********
Got my wii controller working finally, I was just being stupid lol. So that dattel Retro controller works well? All the buttons function? Any problems so far? About to order one if its still working well. Thanks for your time!
So now that we have got full HDMI out, are there any devs looking into getting the PS3 controller working with our beloved EVO? I'm aware of the ability to use the Wiimote. I've also heard they have gotten the sixaxis controller working on maemo, another linux based mobile system, and supposedly there are drivers for using ps3 controllers on windows 7? Let's get some reverse engineering going on this bad *****, I know I would love to see this!
On a side note, thank you to everyone in the community, lurkers and active members alike, especially the devs who work day and night so that we can play with our toys to their full potential!
From what I remember reading in here somewhere it has to do with the Bluetooth stack(s) used on android, where the protocol* wiimote uses is compatible and the ps3 one isnt.
*correct me if I'm wrong people

Yes this would be excellent! But how long will it be before the market devs start converting their games to be compatible with such epicness lol!?

Totally possible to get the PS3 controller working.
Would require a custom bluetooth stack, custom kernel with usb-host mode to do the initial pairing, then finally pairing it with the custom bluetooth stack.
See link for more info: http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html
This would really be amazing. The wiimote ain't that great for playing many emulators unless you connect a classic controller to it.
Cobaltikus said he'll look into porting his CobaltController (Dual Shock 3 for WM6) to android about one month ago, so it might happen soon.

Yeah, I wish Nintendo made a classic controller that was standalone with bluetooth (that didn't need to be tethered to a wiimote).

Would that one be possible to use with the phone (with the already existing wiimote-app, because I doubt anyone will make a new one for that)? If so, I might consider buying it.
Edit: Googled, and found out that it works! Can't link it however, due to my low post count, but it was the second result when googling "Wii Wireless Retro Controller datel".

Yeah it does, at least for the Sixaxis Controller app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
Make sure you buy a genuine controller. Chinese copies won't work.
I was able to use sixaxis just fine with my official Sony PS3 controller on my rooted Verizon Galaxy S3
Im running it and it works fine, currently playing Nova 3 with it.
Thanks for the replies, guys. Ordered one today. I'm also looking at the GameKlip in this section, which looks so badass. Only issue with it is it might not fit with my TPU case. Hopefully he can get a model to fit it with most gel cases.
Well, as convenient as wireless connection would be, I was able to connect my PS3 sixaxis to my TMo GS3 using my OTG USB adapter. Now I just need to look into getting a gameklip type holder.

Using USB OTG adapter to hookup PS3 controller on my Verizon S3 stock NO ROOT. Works well, was playing Dead Trigger with it. Root is only required if you want to use bluetooth to connect it.

The maker said if you give him the exact size of your phone with the case he could make a custom one for you. And he said if he said if it didn't fit you could get a refund I think.
I can confirm the xbox 360 controller is supported. The wireless one too, if you have the pc receiver.

Root is required if you want to map controls for games that don't support a controller. The majority unfortunately... This is done through the sixaxis app of course.

The wireless xbox controllers "for windows" come with them. You should also be able to find them on ebay, etc.
I guess I’m confused. I downloaded N64oid and have a couple roms (Mario kart64/goldeneye) and they both work well using the on screen controls but when I plug in my PS3 sixaxis controller via OTG cable the controller will control things like navigating the home screens but once I’m in the game it does nothing. Pressing start takes me back to the home screen. Do I have to root in order for the PS3 controller to control my game controls?

I was having the same issue running a custom ROM (CleanROM 2.5), it was bugging the hell out of me and I didn't see anyone else having the same problem. What I did was restore back to factory (reflashed in my case), did not install ANYTHING except sixaxis and N64oid and it stopped for some reason. Then I rooted, with stock ROM, still worked great. No idea why restoring worked if anyone else has a work around please let me know.
Ok, heres the issue.i know that with an OTG adaptor and our phones we can plug in mice, keyboards, flashdrives and self powered external hdd's. We also have figured out that you cannot plug controlers into it and expect it to work but we can use the sixaxis ps3 controlers to utilize our emulators. Now i was showing off to my son's whom have laptops and they where bragging about the n64 emulators on their respective computers, so being the caring, loving father that i am, i couldent let them gloat so i downloaded the n64 emulator and some roms on my phone and showed them up. Now mind you playing Zelda on it is not easy, so i was thinking to my self since the wii controllers do not work, "self", thats what i call my self... "self, i am cheap and dont want to spend all the money to get a ps3 controller but i want one now....Hmmm what would happen if i took my controller that i using for my mac and used that..." so i plugged it in and DAMNIT TO HELL IT WORKED!!!!!!! I was able to map my key to my emulator, control alot of the os form the joystick, which had me wondering... What if "we" only tested a small selection of controllers like only xbox360 but what about the thousands of generic controllers out there? The one i was able to get to work was the Saitek: p2500 Rumble Force. The company is still around and it seems to be just a regular controller. Just a thought.......
Nice find...but i rather stick to my wireless ps3 controller. No wires is better for me.

I'll have to 2nd that. I enjoy the PS3 controller's design. I can use it on my PC when I get home too for my other emulators.
I remember the XBOX 360 dongle works with the FireTV, but has anyone tried this new one for the XBOX One controllers?
Assuming you can root the FireTV... There's a Thread 'round here that describes how you can add the correct profiles to the /system partition, that'll allow you to use the XBone Controller out of the Box.
Otherwise I'm pondering on getting one of these to play games with. Seeing as I have a couple of x360 Pads that haven't seen the light of day in years.

Are you referring to the mod where you connect the controller through USB?
I was under the impression that it would just work wirelessly. But, I'll have to be straight with you. I made the mistake and read that as Xbox Controller, at first, and NOT as XBone Controller. Once that was made clearer I Stopper right there. But AFIAK both the PS4, and XBone Controllers should be fully Bluetooth kompatible. From the Way I read it the ~hack~ was Just to get the proper *.kl (Profilers) installed so the AFTV knew what to do with it.
lol Wouldn't ya know it yeah it seems to wired only... Ain't that a -itch!
And the 50€ Amazon piece 'o crap, like the Remote is also WiFi, and NOT Bluetooth! So probably useless outside of the FireTV. Leads me to think that I'll just pickup an old Asus Pad from an old Nexus Puck. Which should hopefully work, as well as be a bit cheaper too.
