Sixaxis Compatibility with N7 2013 for FF9 use - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I know that Sixaxis used to work when I got this tablet back in 2013, but now I'm trying to set it up again to use for FF9 (with PS3 controller) and I can't seem to get past the "Sixaxis Compatibility Checker" app. It tries all 4 connection types and fails on all of them (yes, I am rooted).
I've tried the PS4 controller and it connects via Bluetooth, but the button mapping is all messed up. Up/down is left/right, no buttons work, 1second delay, etc... Are there any other options to play with a controller on FF9?
Was Nexus 7 (2013) support discontinued for the Sixaxis app? Why are the Bluetooth connection methods not working?
Thanks.

I believe it is marshmallow in general. Having the same issue with my n6 after the mm update.

[Q] Sixaxis

Has anyone been able to use the sixaxis controller simply by just plugging it in with a usb otg or is it still more complicated than that? Do you still need the sixaxis app for it to work correctly?
I'm also curious to know this
I was only able to pair the controller via otg cable and the app. That's better than always reconnecting the controller with my PC when I played on my PS3 before.
Is playing via bluetooth not a possibility for you?
Shadowgun is working fine for me with bluetooth. I don't like it when cables are hanging around and it's better when I play on my TV via MHL.
I just tried the new function of the sixaxis app which emulates the onscreen controls in Nova 2. That was still buggy for me, only moving worked.

[Q] Game controllers (Logitech F710) - How to connect? USB Host cable?

After seeing Transformer Prime + Logitech F710 in action, how do we get the same from HTC One X? Tegra 3 was said to support all game controllers like PS3, XBOX360. Does it really work and how to do it so there would be no apps needed like sixaxis and no compatibility issues?
i bought a ps3 controller just for this, but as I sent my first HOX back because of backlight flickering and haven't received a new one yet I haven't been able to try it. I don't think it will work via bluetooth without something like the sixaxis app.
Cant get my ps3 controller connected with the Sixaxis app, the compatibility checker says I'm compatible, used the sixaxispairtool to change the master Bluetooth on my controller to match the phone but when trying to pair it just says no controller found.
There is a video on YouTube of it working on a HOX with stock rooted ROM but I'm using Coredroid.
EDIT
Scratch that, managed to get it working, instructions on the sixaxis devs website a a bit misleading. Makes Shodowgun so much easier
Is it possible to use the Logitech 710 with the HTC One X? If so, how does it work?

3rd party ps3 controller

Hello,
i'm having difficulty connecting my arsenal bluetooth ps3 controller to my rooted verizon galaxy nexus running cyanogenmod 10.
I got the MAC adress matching, and i even get the sixaxis controller app to confirm "client connected: 1"
but the controller never flashes 1 light and eventually disconnects.
when i try to pair under bluetooth setting it gets as far as telling me to enter a pin, but on the ps3 controller...
is there a way i can enter a pin on the controller itself?
i know the sixaxis controller app recommends sony brand controllers but i made the foolish mistake of buying a 3rd party one to save a few bucks...
i have also tried tried bluez IME settings and blueinput to no avail.
any help is appreciated, thank you!

Bluetooth Controllers on 4.4+

I know that since the release of Jellybean bluetooth controller support was broken. I found sort of a work around. Download Bluez IME from the play store and turn on Bluetooth. Make your controller discoverable and select it. It should connect but have a toast message saying it failed. Go to the settings and force close Bluez IME and your good to go.
Your results may vary with different controllers, I'm using a PS4 controller
I've been able to use my PS3 controller just fine since updating to the latest Sixaxis controller release (November 2013)

Wireless controller with galaxy A70

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.
