Best idea for controller for games on my phone?

With how much i love my phone and how it plays games so smoothly now like dead space im playing alot more games on my phone so im really looking to get a controller for it. I was looking at the Zeemote controller
http://www.zeemote.com/
Anyone use the zeemote and what do they think?
But could i use any game controller with usb as long as i get the otg kernel
[KERNEL]Zedomax T989 Kernel - [OTG USB Host] - Connect USB Peripherals!
So what do i have to buy to make the usb cable fit into my phone using the zedomax kernel??
Any help would be much appreciated???

You can search on amazon or ebay for "MicroUSB OTG" and you will see microusb to usb adaptors, which should do the trick.

You need a custom kernel to support USB On The Go.
Also I have no idea how well OTG would work with a generic USB games controller, or even a wired 360 controller.

new nexus 7 user with some questions

Hello, I've had my 32gb since Jan 10 and I have some questions. Is this normal for an IPS display? It seems fpse won't see my 64gb USB stick. Works fine when ROMs are in internal. Is there some way to tell fpse to check external storage? Would Google play movies and ota work if I'm rooted? Came from Toshiba Thrive which is ancient now.

Ok, so, as far as I know, there's a problem with FLO devices that can't read USB Sticks via OTG Cables.
There's 2 ways to make USB devices work:
1. BUY the app "Nexus Media Importer" from Google Play (and when I say buy I mean you can't hack it, it verifies its' licence with the server, no matter how you patch it)
OR
2. Root your device and install "StickMount" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount). It will mount your USB Drive and create a new folder in "Internal Memory/sda1/blablabla".
Hope this helped!

If it's just a matter of what dragancia sad, then it's very easy if you use StickMount. External storage gets mounted under /sdcard/usbStorage, and most apps should be able to access. I've never used fpse and can't tell you if needs files to be in a specific directory, like the Kindle app does. Nor have I ever used Nexus Media Importer.

Need help with OTG and USB Y-cable. Don't want to blow my Kindle up.

So basically I would like to use a gamepad with my Kindle.
Would it be safe to attach a USB Y cable to the kindle, power supply and gamepad?
Here's the setup.
Would this work fine? Or will it blow up my Kindle? I'd rather ask before having an expensive paperweight. :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: This is because I read that OTG only outputs 2.5v, so this should work.

even if you hooked it up it wouldnt work, otg is disabled in the kernel. You would have to compile a kernel with it enabled in order to use it.

Thanks stunts.. but I read that some people were able to use low powered devices and others actual made a Y cable (or powered hub) and flash drives, devices, etc worked.
Maybe this is with amazon stock rom, I don't know.
I'm using CM 11.

The weakest point

For the tablet is the micro USB port. It can fail due to the daily plug-unplug action. An easy solution is to use an adapter permanently plugged in. See pic.

More likely to accidentally knock the protruding adapter and therefore permanently damage the device female socket in the process. ....

One helpful solution is to turn the tab upside down when plugged in and viewing it in portrait mode. This keeps the plug at the top rather than pressing against your lap and stressing the socket.

Did you actually damage the port or is this just a "precaution"? From my experience the headphone port fails way faster, the microUSB port is actually pretty robust on most devices.
Anyway, there is no way I use one of those ugly adapters.

Just a precaution. I keep the earphone always plugged in .

My solution is a wireless receiver connected through the USB, but you need a wireless transmitter and charging time will be slower.

Manufacturers (for the most part) aren't idiots and know the MTBF (mean time between failures) for every component they select. Things like jacks and plugs which are prone to damage from high use are spec'd accordingly. My two Samsung devices I've had since November show no sign of their USB ports weakening. People looking for problems are usually the first to have them. Ironic, no?

I strongly suggest a Sandisk Ultra Dual USB, I bought it two weeks ago and it's perfect. The dual interface is sooooo useful.

I purchased this recently but haven't received it yet, just add your own microsd card. Can't go wrong for 99cents.

Data Traveler microduo 3.0
I went with 16GB Kingston Data Traveler microduo 3.0
I got it from eBay for just $9.95!
MicroUSB 2.0 from one side, regular USB 3.0 from another.
You can easily detach the plastic thingy if you wish so.

The Kingston microduo is a convenient option but if you have a thick case like a ballistic, the microusb plug will slip out easily because it doesn't have the spring loaded prongs like a normal plug.
Alternatively, The meenova snaps in great even with a thick case. Only downside is that you need the adaptor for the regular USB port for your PC. Also its only USB 2.0 transfer speeds.
