I've been reading that the new Transformer Prime supports Xbox controllers. I'm rooted with Overcome 2.something and want to know if I have this ability already. I also read that people have been using a USB dongle that Microsoft sells but I'd like something that is already built in to work. I also have a PS3 controller if that'll work, although I prefer the Xbox controller.
HDMI out and an Xbox controller = big screen NES!!!
since the xbox wireless controller uses a custom wireless protocoll, you can't use it without the dongle. You can use a wired xbox controller though.
I also prefer the xbox controller, but the PS3 controller is better suited for this. Since the PS3 controller uses bluetooth, you can buy a app on the market called "Sixaxis Controller", which allows you to use a PS3 controller over bluetooth with the tab. It's really awesome
EDIT: I also fine the PS3 controller better suited for emulation, because the dpad is in a better position for this.
is there anyway to do this without root? i read somewhere in 3.2 reenabled controller support for 10.1 i have a stock tablet and don't want to root unless i really really need to.
So, just to check, will the Xbox wireless receiver USB dongle work with the tab?

Wondering the same thing. I tried to connect the dongle to my Tab but my controller wouldn't connect to it (just flashed the green light, searching but no connection it seemed).
Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller work if you connect the dongle to the Tab (or without it for all I care, just want it to work )
I just bought the 30 pin to USB and so far haven't been able to get a wired 360 controller to work but I am running stock so that might be the problem... If I were to root and get like 3.2 or something would this work?

You would need pershoot's kernel with the appropriate modules.

Which modules are the appropriate ones?
I feel like an idiot, asked this same questions (what do which modules do?) 3 or 4 times now, never got an answer... :S

I just did this, although I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they show up as when connected though? Going to test it right now
Edit: Blah, the only wired 360 controller I have is a third party one, it showed up but I'm not sure how to use it. I tried the "USB/BT joystick center" app and it wanted me to make a driver by selecting bits of input data directly .

Hi
I have a completely stock galaxy note running ICS (no root)
I picked up a PS3 controller yesterday from a boot sale for £8 (Sixaxis Dualshock 3) - i got it on a bit of a whim after vaguely seeing mentions of ps3 controllers working with android mentioned on here.
I have it working using my usb OTG cable.
I have a few questions and was hoping someone could help me
1. Is it possible to use the PS3 controller wirelessly without root? I have seen the sixaxis app and where it says it needs root but have also seen "USB/BT Joystick Center " which claims to not require root but cannot see people with our phone using it anywhere.
2. Is it possible to get an OTG cable that allows you to use devices such as the ps3 controller and charge the phone at the same time?
3. [Off-Topic] Since I dont have a ps3 - is there anyway to tell if the wireless portion of a ps3 controller is working? when the controller is disconnected I don't see any LEDs lit no matter what I press. Any ideas?
Thank you

1. I never heard about this options. You can buy bluetooth joystick for android\ios and use it without root.
2. No. Also there is no cables for using HDMI+OTG same time.
Why you are afraid of root? You can always unroot and back to stock without problems. You can also reset your flashing counter to zero and stock official samsung (if you need to sold your device or bring it to service center).

Here's what you need:
CM9 ROM - sixaxis support without root
ANY ROM + root + sixaxis app - great support (with profiles, and multiple controllers)
There's no risk or rooting your device if its just root. Just apply it as per the instructions of the developers.
1) I don't know the answer to that.
2) Yes you can. Get a USB-OTG cable. Then plug it into a USB-HUD, it will need to be externally charged via charger. Now your NOTE is getting Data only from the Gamepad, and it isn't wasting power for the connection.
Anonymous is right, you can't have OTG and MHL at the same time.
The best solution for you to is:
root + sixaxis + bluetooth connection + mhl=hdmi If you want BIG SCREEN gameplay.
3) You could have a Chinese clone controller, which might NOT have bluetooth.
Quickest way would be to try pairing it to your PC. If discoverable, then obviously its got the blue teeth, though it could still be chinese knock off.
@anonymous572 & @Kangal Thanks for the great replies
@anonymous572 I'm not so afraid of root - I'm more afraid of bricking - I have rooted & flashed every android device I have ever owned apart from my note and the reason is that I am scared of bricking. With the bricking issue seemingly so random I'm scared that if it hit me I would be without warranty. Admittedly though I have done any reading for a while about whether rooting increases the chances of bricking or not. Am I worrying about nothing?
@kangal great tip about the powered usb hub - I'll have a look at whether I have any in the house to try.
I might order an MHL cable for some big screen action aswell - especially as XBMC is now working on our devices.
I'm pretty certain my controller is not a clone - the person selling it at the boot sale was selling it with the console and I managed to persuade him to sell it me separately.
root + sixaxis + bluetooth connection + mhl=hdmi If you want BIG SCREEN gameplay. >> This solution sounds great - I've just got to convince myself to root and spend the money on the sixaxis app
Thank You
Well I've been searching for a while trying to connect the S3 as a laptop using MHL+USB OTG, but seems it is not possible or simply hard enough to consider other options. Several options have been considered:
1- Using BT keyboard/mouse is not always suitable since most of us use 2.4Ghz USB keyboard/mouse and it does not consider connecting HDD or other stuff.
2- I found an application that allows you to use your keyboard/mouse connected to your PC to control the phone, "takecontrol", take a look here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5kcm9pZGNvbnRyb2wudGFrZWNvbnRyb2xsaXRlIl0.
Using this app you could also share an HDD connected to that PC solving one of the previous problem BT has.
But this configuration forces you to have your computer switched on... a bit useless if what you want is to connect the S3 as a PC instead of using an actual one.
3- After this I thought of using a wifi USB HUB, but hey! most of routers have USB ports, so why don't we use them instead of buying a new equipment? Then I realised it should work fine for sharing contents from a USB HDD but for USB wireless mouse/keyboard...
(those of you who have a BT mouse/keyboard but don't know how to connect the USB HDD to get "full" PC experience with the S3/S2/Note..., maybe it's still interesting this option)
So my question is if it is possible to connect a USB wireless mouse/keyboard plugging it to a wifi USB HUB. Maybe with an android app? what do you think guys?
I'm still thinkin about this.
Would be possible to use a wireless USB Hub, via wifi or BT?

I'm trying to connect the unifying receiver to my Nexus 7 (2013) with an OTG cable, but it doesn't work.
USB diagnostics app by Chainfire says the kernel detects it, but the Android API doesn't (not sure what that is). All other USB devices I have tried seem to be working.
I think I read of other people having the same problem. I was wondering if this was a problem with the 2013 Nexus 7 in general. If so, is there a fix? or will there be one?
Also, I was playing with my tablet and OTG cable; I was wondering if anyone else has USB devices "sleeping" when the tablet is put to sleep.
I noticed when I plug the cable in the tablet while it is awake, and then plug in a USB device, the USB device will work fine until I put the tablet to sleep. After I put the tablet to sleep, the USB device would power off, and after waking the tablet back up, the device would remain off and unresponsive.
The workaround I found was to plug in the cable while the tablet was asleep, and then waking up the tablet before plugging in USB device. I would then be able to put the tablet to sleep with the USB device remaining powered (while it's asleep and) when it's awakened.
Sorry if this was confusing.
Thanks!
I've got a working OTG fix that does not require root after much messing about!
Go to settings and disable security lock screen then select English US as the language.
Insert OTG cable and start Nexus Media Importer.
Reboot.
Nexus Media Importer should now pop up as usual and OTG should now be working.
Change language back but do not reboot as you will have to repeat these steps.
Same problem..
I have tried nexus media importer or custom kernel, ETC.. however, the problem is occurred again.
Everytime, kernel has error like..
Code:
logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0018 : claimed by neither input, hiddev nor hidraw
logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0018 : logi_dj_probe:hid_hw_start returned error

Any News in this area? I Bought my Nexus 7 to use it during class (as a studytool ofc) . But without having my external keyboard it isn't of much use
I've been having trouble getting my Logitech K750 keyboard to work on the nexus 7 (stock ROM, only rooted). Does anyone know if the Logitech Unifying Receiver is supported on this product? It works perfectly fine on my Galaxy Note N7000 running CM10.2
I can get other USB devices to work on the Nexus using the same OTG cable, for example Logitech MX Revolution wireless mouse, Xbox 360 controller and USB flash drives.
Same problem
I have the same issue with a stock/non-rooted Nexus 7 (2013) and my Logitech unifying receiver. Sadly all I can really say is what did and didn't work.
Does work:
OTG adapter from monoprice.com
Trendnet Powered USB 2.0 Hub (TU2-700)
Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000
Every USB flash drive I've tried has worked via the 'Nexus Media Importer' app (FAT/FAT32 devices). Even multiple plugged-in flash drives connected simultaneously via the USB hub works just fine.
Custom built USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (using a Nexstar enclosure and Western Digital 320GB hard drive; powered off USB hub)
Apple iPhone 4s (iOS 7) - The tablet called the phone a MTP device and viewed the media (pics) through the built-in Gallery app importer
Does NOT work:
Logitech unifying receivers - Specifically, I tried with the K360, K400 and K750 keyboards and a M510 mouse
USB 2.0 10/100 Ethernet Adapter from monoprice.com (no apparent model # but it's their PID#: 9468)
USB 2.0 Logitech C910 Webcam
USB Logitech Headset G330 ...I was just curious
So far compatibility seems arbitrary. I would have thought the Nexus 7 (2013) would have better compatibility with Logitech, a maker of Google TV's, versus Microsoft or even Apple but that has not been the case. If this is a bug, it's a big one considering the popularity of Logitech devices. Sadly, I personally don't even have a keyboard that will work.
Any more details about this problem? Surely this must be a driver issue, since I don't see any other reason why the unifying receiver would refuse to work on the new Nexus 7. As stated above by others, it works perfectly fine on other devices, including the stock rom running TF101 transformer tablet.
I'm running CM nightlies on my Nexus 7 and was really surprised to see that it doesn't work with my unifying kb & mouse
---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------
Just tested with a different USB tester app - the receiver is obviously recognised. The OS can see it, and gets the device/vendor ID, and the device name... but no mouse cursor
http://i.imgur.com/moYVDet.png
http://i.imgur.com/OjFGzaw.png
Tested it with an older Logitech mouse that I have (doesn't use Unifying receiver), and that worked just fine..
http://i.imgur.com/aHdk6Qv.png
http://i.imgur.com/Z8qhoFr.png
But I need the new unifying one to work, mostly for the keyboard.
This issue is discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233849
I'm also having trouble with this. My K400, which would be awesome for tablets, isn't able to work, for it uses a Logitech unifying receiver. It seems it's a simple fix within the kernel. I've tried flashing many different kernels for this device, yet none have added support for it. The device works well on my Galaxy S4, if that means anything.
We'll need to get ahold of one of the developers and hope they're willing to add in the necessary stuff to their kernel if we want to fix this.
Could it be that a current Nexus 7 dev has to integrate some of the patches listed in some of the roms posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233849 ?

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400r works with its unifying receiver and OTG cable plugged into the original Nexus 7:

Solution Anyone?
Can't believe that none of the N7 developers are using a logitech device! !
I got a K400. Works fine with my nexus 5. Not with the nexus 7 2013
need an updated or custom kernel
It looks like we'll need an updated kernel, which has some extra CONFIG switches activated, per these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233849#2
Has anyone had success with a custom kernel or rom that includes the kernel drivers for the Logitech unifying receiver?
It would be nice to have a minimally changed kernel that included support just for these new drivers:

Updates?
Hey all
Was just trying out the Unifying Receiver today and was surprised and disappointed that it didn't work at all.
Has anyone managed to get it working since the last post?
P
no
After my last post, I contacted Google support. They said that they could not help, and Logitech would have to fix it. I tried to talk technical about kernel config switches, and I begged to talk to someone who understood what I was saying, but I basically was told they did not have resources to troubleshoot every possible accessory.
I contacted Logitech, and they said that Google was right. They claimed responsibility and stated they did not support Nexus 7 (2013). It would not work.
Bottom line: This accessory will only ever work in a custom ROM, if it works then.
If anyone has any luck with this accessory on a custom ROM or in any other setup, please let us know.
Earlier posts say it is recognized by the OS, but not Android API.
Then, all it needs should be the files to tell Android it is a mouse and keyboard, right? Seems like the only issueis our device didn't have it in its device list.
What file to mod, what line(s) to mod?
Has anyone found a fix for this? I just bought a Google Nexus 7 2013 - 32GB and am trying to use the unifying receiver with an OTG cable (Logitech devices are the K800 keyboard and Experience MX mouse). The unifying receiver works fine on my galaxy S5 but no luck on my nexus 7. I am currently unrooted running stock lollipop 5.0.2. I am prepared to unlock bootloader, root, and install custom kernel if necessary.
Any info to get the Logitech unifying receiver working on my Nexus 7 would be greatly appreciated.
Hallo everyone,
I'm new in this forum and I hope I am right here.
So the Fire TV is new in Germany and I preordered it.
It would be fine if I will be able to use my wireless Xbox 360 Controller with it.
I have read that it is possible to use the original wireless receiver for PC.
But what's about the remake from it (the version from China)? For PC I have to install the drivers manually.
Is it possible to use? Has somebody tried it?
For example like the "White PC USB Gaming Receiver Adapter White For Xbox 360 Wireless Controller" on amazon.com
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links.
Thanks!

Hello
Yes, i have one from ebay (chinese clone) and it works fine. Lights in the controller doesn´t light up as usually but that happens with the official receiver also.
Hey,
I'm using a knockoff chinese receiver. I got mine on amazon for about 13 USD and it works great. It can be a little tricky to configure the controls with Mupen 64 or whatever emulator you are using, and the 'x' home key always takes you back to the games section of the kftv launcher (despite having xbmc set as the launcher, for example), but it works in game just fine.
Let me know if you have any questions- I'd be happy to help.
Can you connect more than one Controller on that adapter? I read, that 4 Controller + 4 headsets are possible with this adapter (on a PC). Whould be nice for multiplayer games...
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9295 mit Tapatalk
I haven't tried headsets, but I've used at least two controllers at once, and I also understand up to 4 per receiver works (theoretically more receivers = more players, but I'm not buying another one to test that theory).
How to hook up third party controllers correctly
I was searching the web up and down in order to get my third party controller (china) to work without a solution. Actually it was easier than I thought:
- connect the dongle
- restart the Fire TV (5 sec hold of Play+Big Button)
- press X on controller
The controller doesn't stop blinking but if you are able to navigate through menus everything worked well.
I bought this receiver from amazon (www (dot) ebay (dot) com/itm/271687378076?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) and it's not working when I plug it into the Fire TV. I believe the receiver works though because when I plugged it into my mac and I was able to see all the keys responding using 360Controller.
Everybody seems to have minimal issues connecting controllers to their Fire TV. Any ideas?
(Sorry, I don't have enough posts to post links.)

I'm sorry, but it'd be tough to replicate the issue without a device to test with. That receiver looks identical to the one I purchased, but I don't know if it is actually the same on the inside.
I don't know about on OSX, but I found that I could pair the xbox controller with the receiver on my windows PC (using the generic driver). Once I had paired on Windows, I could plug the adapter into anything running android and it would work just fine.
That's the first place I would start- try pairing a controller and making it work on a machine running Windows or OSX or whatever is 'supposed' to work. That way, you can at least tell if the hardware is bad. If you are able to pair and use it on one of those machines, plug it into your Fire TV and use the same controller and see if it recognizes it.
If it works on OSX or Windows but not on the Fire TV, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe pick up a USB OTG adapter and see if you can get it running on another android system. I haven't found a phone / tablet yet that hasn't been plug and play with the adapter.
Lastly, and this is unlikely, it could be that you are running a USB hub that isn't able to provide sufficient power. If that is the case, unplug all other USB devices and test it in the port. If it works there, the hub / draw of other devices is your problem. I'd recommend getting a powered USB hub in that case.

Thanks for the suggestions but I don't think the adapter will work with the Fire TV. I'm not using a hub anywhere in the setup.
I can pair the controller to a Windows machine using the adapter and the generic driver. I'm able to see the computer register all the inputs using the joy.cpl (app?) in Windows. When I plug the adapter into the Fire TV afterwards, I still can't control anything with the controller. Does the ADB debugging switch make a difference? I have the adb over usb set to OFF.
What's an USB OTG and where can I get one? What adapter did you pick up that worked? It might be better if I just picked up the same one instead of troubleshooting this one. Open to any other ideas though.

I'm still not convinced the device is not malfunctioning. Did you actually connect and use a controller to control the PC? It could be that the device is connecting and sending some information, but the part that actually connects to the controller is broken. On Windows, you can just download the driver and install it as per these instructions: https://krisrowland.wordpress.com/2...eless-controller-adapter-in-windows-7-64-bit/
I'm pretty sure this is the controller I bought. Like I said, it looks the same as yours. I'm confident you just got a bad unit.
I had one question:
-Does the rumble function work? (The vibration)

It's been a while since I've actually used it, but if I remember right it does work if you map it properly in the emulator you are using. For example, Mupen 64 has support for rumble packs, and I'm about 80% certain it works.
hi mate did you ever get this working, i have the same issue, bought a cheap receiver from ebay. hooked it up to laptop, installed driver, worked fine. connect to fire tv, nothing!
ARGH!!!!
The cheap china clones just making problems with Android aka FireTV. That's what I heard.
But the original adapter makes me sometimes Problems too. Sometimes the Box Start in security Mode (grey written in the left corner of the screen) or had to replug them After Start to let the Box recognice the adapter again.
I bought two very great Bluetooth Controller from "mi". Really nice. Like Xbox 360 Controller. You can buy it cheap @ allbuy.com.

Hi there, I'm having the same issue here.
HARDWARE: - FireTV 2.0
- xbox 360 wireless chinadapter
- xbox 360 wireless controller
I've turned off the dev settings on my firetv, connected the 360 controller via my chinadapter to my pc to verify that it's paired and working. Plugged my adapter into my firetv. Restarted firetv. Pressed the silver X button, the blue x button, the ))) connect button... Still nothing. I've gone into the "Add a new controller" area (where it tries to establish connectivity) and tried everything I can think of. I was really excited about this and am kinda bummed. Not wanting to buy extra controllers really.
- something noone else has mentioned running into - the firetv seems to crash or reset itself when I push the ))) connect button on the chinadapter receiver. . . weird. . .

I got it to interact randomly. Unfortunately it was unacceptably buggy. Crashing games, not recognizing inputs and, well, everything that might be awful about a controller. So I guess I'm looking into cheap bluetooth controllers. def not spending $50 on Amazons controller to play freaking android games lol let alone games in the amazon app store. Thanks for the thread and any advice on getting it to work properly you may have discovered.
I am having the issue of not being able to connect my 360 controller via the Chinese adapter to the fire tv....I have got it working in windows but it wont connect on the fire tv. I have disabled developer options restarted the fire tv and hit the x button to try to connect but I get nothing.
