Hello all again.
I am asking if anyone has gotten controller support running on their GNex. I have the sixaxis app installed; however, my PS3 controller is dead so I haven't verified that yet. I am pretty sure it will work though.
I know that native controller support is there for ICS devices, but, what devices are working or do you have working on your device? I would much prefer a 360 pad or arcade stick to a PS3 one.
Having upgraded to the latest version of the excellent MaximusHD ROM + stock kernel,
I was disappointed to discover that the Sixaxis app does not work in MM, so I cant use my PS3 controller.
So as an alternative, I tried my Wireless Xbox 360 controller, but could not get it to work.
I made sure I have a keylaout file (Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl) and keychars file (Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kcm)for the wireless controller.
I unfortunately dont have a wired controller to test.
I did notice that there is no xpad.ko under lib/modules - is that still needed?
Does the stock kernel not support the 360 controller?
Any workarounds to get it to work?
Any input is appreciated.
For anyone interested - best solution I've found is to use ElementelX combined with "Sixaxis Enabler" app.
You will have to use the ps3 controller plugged in (no wireless), but at least you can still use it in Marshmallow.
Still no luck in getting the xbox wireless receiver to work though.
Ps4 controller will connect through Bluetooth but won't function at all. Anyone able to test and see if they can get Thiers working? I'm on Verizon version so no root sadly.
Hard to believe no one has ps4 controller to test
Anyone tried using one on 8.0 or any custom roms? (on 7.0 i didnt work gamepad would connect but no reaction.)
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
my gamesir g4 works fine

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.
