You must have root and the app sixaxis controller installed
-When opening the Sixaxis Controller app, allow root permissions and allow Sixaxis as input
-Then press start
-you will see your local bluetooth mac address below
-press stop
-then connect the controller using a otg-cable and usb-to-mini cable
-press pair
-fill in your bluetooth mac address, (maybe it's already filled in, no problem)
-press pair and allow permissions
-unplug your controller
-press start on device
-when device say 'lisening for controllers' press the round middle butten on your ps3 controller
now it's connected
if you want your ps3 controller as android gamepad, go to menu-->gamepad settings-->enable gamepad
Work's great for me, Playing GTA San Andreas like a boss

[Q] PS3 controller to Fire Tv

What is the file location of the bluetooth xml or address file on the Fire TV?
trying to connect PS3 DualShock 3 SixAxis controller to Fire TV
Tried using SixAxis app, no root yet
Connected via adb, but having trouble finding file location of bluetooth xml or address
Tried netcfg , non of the interfaces looked like bluetooth (p2p0, lo, eth0, wlan0, ...)
Need help finding bluetooth MAC address of the console
I saw in the general forum that the PS3 wired controller is listed as working, not sure if this is the same. Tried my with wired USB connection, not working for me

I think they mentioned the ps4 controller

Try
Code:
cat /data/misc/bluedroid/bt_config.xml
Should get something back, look for something like
Code:
<N1 Tag="Local">
<N1 Tag="Adapter">
.....
<N2 Tag="Address" Type="string">bd:h5:cb:46:h4:86</N2>

At this time it isn't possible. People have looked into it and I guess it's something to do with the pin pairing mechanism not being compatible with the current HID on the fire tv? Dualshock 4 controller does work, but the buttons map weird.

Has anyone given this a shot since we got root?

5. Run Sixaxis Controller and go to settings - go to Settings-> Joystick-> put check mark on Enable Joystick.
6. Now click Start, the program will ask Ruth right and below you will see the Local Bluetooth Address, too, in the format xx: xx: xx: xx: xx: xx
7. SixaxisPairTool Enter it in the computer field and click Change Master Update. Then unplug the controller from the computer.
8. Turn on the controller button PS (round the middle)

ps3 controller works great.. only thing that sucks is the controller stays on and the fire tv doesnt go to sleep.
i was able to play GTA San Andrea's no problem

This works great!
I played these games so far and they work fine with the controller.
Asphalt 8
Dead Trigger 2
Shadow Fight 2

Does anyone know how to turn off the controller?

After connecting the ps3 controller can we disable the service to have the ftv sleep and turn it on when needing the controller?

A little help, if you please.
So I've managed to successfully pair the PS3 controller to the FTV, however, it seems to have issues with up and left, as they are nonresponsive. I did get the correct MAC address for both the FTV and the PS3 controller. I can navigate menus and launch apps, however some of the controls are not working correctly. If anyone has had a similar problem, please let me know how to resolve this.

Cool I'll try that

will someone who has successfully connected a ps3 controlled to fire tv please post a step-by-step? i've tried following the russian translated instructions but i'm not having any success at this point.
with the sixaxis tool on the fire tv, i usually get to the point where it says 'listening for controllers' after i start it and the fire tv freezes
any help is appreciated!

PS4 Wireless Controller

hello,
I would connect my ps4 wireless controller on my oneplus 3, I can do this but it doesn't work, i can't use it. Could you help me ?
Thanks

After pairing devices (press "Share" button in controller during some time and then look for it in BT options), you need to download the app "sixaxis controller" or something like that to map, or so I have understood

I tried but you need a rooted device.
Do you have a solution to use the controller without root ? Thanks

Dualshock 4 not working

Anyone knows how can i connect my Dualshock 4 to my Oneplus 3? I tried both Bluetooth and via OTG but non of two works. I used sixaxis controller app and im stucked at "Listening Controllers" what should i do? Please help

You need to change the Bluetooth Connection of the Controller to the Bluetooth Adress of your Smartphone, to do so, connect your Dual Shock 4 Controller via USB to your Computer/Laptop, download and install "SixaxisPairTool".
Edit: also your device if i remember right needs to be rooted for it to work aswell.

Dualshock 3/Sixaxis on rooted Sloane?

I am on the latest version of FIre OS (5.2.7.2_r1) and am using a first party PS3 controller, the version with Dualshock and Sixaxis combined
I know this question has been asked and ansered before, but the methods I have tried to use have not worked for me, sadly.
I have tried Using Sixaxis Controller from DancingPixelStudios. I enable and set the IME from a terminal (cannot get a Settings.apk to install) I have set the Bluetooth Master Address both from the USB pairing method built into the app, and with Sixpair on a linux machine (a raspberry pi running the latest version of Raspbian) Stort the server and try to connect, nothing.
I tried the app Sixaxis Enable, which is supposed to connect the DS3 via USB, and I get a message saying that it's not supported.
I found an app called USB/BT Joystick Center. After setting the IME for it and connect my controller via USB, and when I click Search in the app, it finds the Unifying receiver, the powered USB hub I am using (I think) and the PS3 controller. It says that I click on it and it says that it loads a built in keymap or something along those lines, but the controller doesn't work...Maybe I just don't really know how to use the app properly, but so far the help option hasn't actually been much help. It says that if I want to use my PS3 controller over bluetooth, that I will need to connect an external USB Bluetooth Dongle with a CSR chipset (which I don't have)
Something interesting I have noticed, is that I have been getting a pop up request to enter the pin for my controller. I have tried 0000 and 1234, to no avail., Using an app called Bluetooth Settings, I currently have my device set to be fully discoverable and pairable.. What I can take away from this is that my box IS seeing the PS3 controller over bluetooth.
It kinda seems to me like all the methods available to do connect a PS3 controller to the FIre TV are all dead, or I'm doing something wrong, which is more than possible.
So I guess my question is, is there a way nowadays to use my official PS3 controller on my FIre TV? I have no real preferece if it is over USB or Bluetooth. (Unless I have company over Iam usually no further than 5 feet away from the box when I use it) and how do I acheive it if it can still be done?
THank you for the patience!

Funny enough, I actually just recently found your reddit posts about this while looking for something else. Sadly it did not work for me that I know of.
After running your command via adb, my terminal gave me:
"Result: parcell(00000000 00000001 '........')"
Then I went to the Bluetooth menu, pressed the PS button on my PS3 controller, and tried to discover it as both a game controller, and under Other Bluetooth Devices.
Maybe im not doing something right, or maybe because I have the bluetooth master address in the controller set to the Fire's bluetooth MAC address, the fire thinks it is paired when it is not.
Further help would be appreciated if you know what im doing wrong with that method.
The good news though is that I HAVE discovered (or at least there are no nentions about it that I have seen) a method to use an official ps3 controller over USB, and will post a tutorial sometime in the next 24 hours.

Do you have busybox installed? Try it via the terminal emulator app on the device itself.
Also it sounds like you need to pair it again... In the settings forget the device. Then

Busybox is installed to /system/xbin
After trying to run the command in the terminal emulator included in Apps2SD Pro, I got the same response from the terminal and I still couldn't detect the controller over bluetooth.
