Hi, i have gamepass app installed and working on Firestick max, also i have an xbox controller paired.
My issue starts when i press the Xbox button on my controller (home button) when playing with gamepass app. Instead of having game menu popped in, it kicks me out the app and moved back to firestick home screen. Sadly, amazon firestick maps xbox home button on my controller as firestick home button. Is there a way to prevent this or to remap that button? Thanks

There is Sixaxis https://market.android.com/details?...udios.sixaxiscontroller&feature=search_result
And their compatibility testing tool .. https://market.android.com/details?...xiscompatibilitychecker&feature=search_result
You're right. Bluez IME doesn't support PS3 controllers (they're working on it I hear) so what you will have to do is bind every button on the PS3 controller to a hardware key. This is going to be annoying, but you'll only have to do it one time.
Open up the Sixaxis App, then press the start button to open the bluetooth connection. Once the connection is listening, press the PS button on your controller. The app should tell you that there's one client connected. Press the menu button on the phone (far left, looks like a paper I guess) then go to preferences. Press the box that says bypass IME, then select input mappings. You can then select which controller you are mapping then for each button, assign it a letter on the key board (like left = a, right =b, etc). After you're done, open up n64oid, go to settings, then input settings. Press key mappings and press they key mappings button for the controller you want. Then just go through and bind all your keys like normal.
Tyvm thats exactly what I did, works like a charm ! playing mario kart 3 players battles on our 60" tv eheh portable consoles ftw !
How do you bind the keys like normal at the end. When I am in n64oid i click on key mapping and d-pad left it says press a key

You first map the keys to the controller, so it simulates keyboard input, then in n64noid when it asks you to press a key you hit the appropriate button on the controller ... (of course you have to have it paired and working at the time)
Ok in sixaxis app i mapped each button with letters a-z
And it said client one connected
So i went to n64oid and to settings and input settings and clicked left for example, so it said hit key, so i hit left dpad on ps3 controller and nothing, its like its not detecting me pressing the button on my ps3 controller, why is this?

You have to go to input settings, and change it to sixaxis controller instead of keyboard, under normal android settings ...

followed your directions still nothing :/
Once paired, unplug the USB cable and press the power button on the controller. If successful, the lights on the controller will stop blinking and a single light will remain on.
My controller pairs, i even downloaded the comaptibility checker and my controller and phone passed the test, but all the lights blink on my controller but when that is finished they all go off instead of one which is supposed to stay on.

Sixaxis and Connecting PS3 Controller
Hello there,
This is my first post ever. (fyi)
Any ways... You need to use the sixaxis pair tool on your PC to ultimately connect the controller to your phone.
The reason:
When a controller (PS3 Spec.) connects to a console, the console exchanges its (Bluetooth in this case) MAC address with the controller to create a solid connection between the host and the periphal device.
The solution:
Sixaxis pair tool will allow you to manually manipulate this MAC address reservation through use of a USB B cable, a PC using the software, and finally a PS3 controller...
Once the software is launched simply type the number from the bottom of the sixaxis application (Android) into the sixaxis pair tool (PC) and click update...
Finally:
Restart your sixaxis application (Android)
Once restarted, click the start button...
Wait until it says listening for controllers...
Turn on PS3 controller.
VOILA!
Hope this helps I had some problems getting it to work as well...
I have tried many build of Retroarch and could not get the XBOX360 controller to work. I have read many posts people got this to work but I cannot replicate this.
The controler works ok outside in the menu and allow me to select the game. Once the game starts, I could only use Start button which brings up the RGUI and Back button which goes back to the Retroarch menu.
Anyone can give me any tips?
Also I am using the XBOX wireless dongle. If I leave this plug in, the Amazon Fire TV will start in Safe Mode. No idea
In the Retroarch input settings, if you disable auto detect you can scroll way down and enter custom mappings into controller 1. The left joystick was detected as dpad but only the dpad works for me in game.
I'm just going to copy and paste the post I just made and what I did to fix it.
I have tired the controller with Sev Zero and Deus Ex. I have also tried an Xbox 360 controller. They work in the Fire TV menu, but not in any of the games. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? The only thing I can think of is that somehow the buttons got mapped funky when I mapped them for XBMC using FireTV Side App Installer.
I figured it out. For some reason the Xbox 360 Dongle was causing the problem. I still had it plugged into the USB port. Once I removed that and restarted, everything seemed to work with the fire TV game controller.
I bought the Harmony Hub in order to have a single-remote solution for my home theater setup. The Harmony Hub can control things via Bluetooth, which is why it can control the FireTV even though it's missing an infreared port.
So I set up a Watch TV activity that powers on my TV and my receiver, and then controls the FireTV with the playback and directional buttons. Everything works great until I turn the activity off. and then back on. When everything powers back on, the remote has lost its ability to control the FireTV. it can still control the TV and receiver, however.
To fix it, I have to open up the Harmony smartphone app, issue a single command to the FireTV (which forces some sort of re-pairing) and then the remote works great again.
Does anyone else have this issue?
My Firetv is rooted, btw, so if any possible solutions require root I can do that.
You need to setup two activities:
1. Watch TV (the FireTV should not be included in this activity.)
2. Watch Five TV.
Open "My Harmony App" on your computer. Go to Add Device/Amazon/FIre TV. Then create a new Activity. The presets on your remote and your phone or tablet do everything you need except there is no Home Button. You can map an unused button (using the "My Harmony" software) to Home. I used the "Red".
This works flawlessly for me. If I am watching TV and and I hit Watch Fire TV, the cable box turns off, and the input on my receiver switches. Then I hit enter to wake up the FireTV. Works the opposite way, too.
Thanks! Your reply helped me figure out the problem: I didn't have the "ENTER" command mapped to a button, so no button I hit would wake up the Fire TV. I'm working now!
anyone know the centre button for amazon remote does not work as a select option
so i cant use some apps i.e. spotify
this is the wifi remote, which is bit temperamental to be honest
anyone know how to adjust the keymapping of buttons
thanks
I tried to remap the forward and backwards buttons from the fire tv remote as long press volume buttons.
They worked with xposed and xposed additions but after that the shield controller didn't work on games, just the directional and android buttons worked.
It was such a bummer because xposed additions could be a nice tool to get more functionality out of remotes but there seems to be some bugs.
same prob here, fire tv 2 remote, ok button dont work in some apps.
like amazon video.
is there any solution for that.
cheers Martin
Is there anything new on this?
I downloaded an app called Button Mapper that allows you to remap basically every button on your remote or controller.
Sadly though, while it actually lets you remap the 'select' button on the Fire TV remote, it does not have an option to remap it to 'Enter'. You can change it to other actions like home, back, volume up/down, mute, play/pause, next, previous, power dialog, turn screen off, etc.
I don't know why 'Select' or 'Enter' isn't an option though. Such a shame. I thought for sure this was going to be the solution to this issue.
I was able to remap the FF and RW buttons though. I don't use those buttons really, so I remapped them to control the system volume UP and DOWN. Works great for that at least

Not tried it with the FTV remote but has worked a treat for all my other remotes i have used.
Side load this Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner&hl=en_GB
This should be fixed I think in the Oreo update. The remotes should now correctly send the DPAD_CENTER command when pressing select on the remote. I know it was fixed with the Alexa Voice Remote (Fire TV 2nd gen i think?).
Voice button is still crap as it rarely works properly (activates the assistant but doesn't record voice) .
Hi,
I just got a Fire TV Cube 2nd generation and I was trying to pair it with a game controller to use Steam Link, Shadow and Geforce Now. I've been able to pair both a Xbox One and a PS4 controllers via bluetooth but both end up having the same problem; the home button doesn't work as expected and the start button doesn't work at all.
With the Xbox One controller the home button takes you back to the Fire TV launcher while the start button doesn't do anything. The select button seem to do what the home button should do as by pressing it the Steam overlay pops up but it takes it quite many seconds to realise I have pressed it.
So apparently Amazon has dropped support for game controllers, even theirs, but I don't get how the option is still available, controllers can be paired but then there is no way to configure them to fix these issues.
Does anyone know if there is any way to fix this problem?
Thanks.

You can use button mapper app.
