Connecting gamepads on LineageOS 18.1 firmware - Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At the moment, my Pixel C tablet has LineageOS 18.1 firmware (if you look at it like that, the fastest of all based on Android 11). In general, such a problem, at least with Dualshock 4 v2 (well, I just don’t have others. 3 gamepads and all Dualshock 4 v2).
I connect the gamepad via bluetooth - the connection is made, but in theory the indicator light of the Dualshock 4 v2 should change from white and blue, to blue (well, or red, green, white, depending on the connection order) does not switch. It just stays glowing blue and white and that's it, no reactions to button presses, nothing, although the checkboxes "Exchange contacts" and "HID device" are enabled. Yes, gamepadtest online does not see gamepads connected to the tablet. Although I connect a mouse via bluetooth - it works, a keyboard via bluetooth works, I connect a gamepad - and such a story happens.
Although if I connect Dualshock 4 v2 via USB OTG, then the indicator light changes from white-blue to blue, and then there are reactions to button presses and it works fine.

[Q] PS4 DS4 will not pair

I can not get my DS4 (PS4 controler) to pair. These are the steps I am following.
Settings>>Controllers>>Bluetooth Game Controllers>>Add Bluetooth Controllers
Put the DS4 in pairing mode : Share + PS home button = Light blinks 2x fast
FireTV Discovered controllers shows : Wireless controller. Select it with the remote
DS4 light stops blinking and is solid white for 3 seconds then turns off.
Firetv sits at pairing the controller for 10-15 second then pairing not sucessful try again shows at bottom right of the screen.
I have tried it on 51.1.1.0_511070220 and 51.1.3.0_513011820. With and without DualShock 4 Correct Keymaps & Controller Bug Fix - .KL File.
I have sideloaded the settings.apk in the bluetooth settings I can get the controller to pair but it shows up as wireless controller still. Once it pairs the controller will turn off. Every time it connects the controller will just power off.
I have tried all these steps with it plugged in to power and to a computer, nothing.
It works via USB.
What am I doing wrong?

using a game controller for mouse functionality...

I am currently using the Sixaxis app with sony ps3 dualshock controller to control my fire tv - it works great - has support for home button, mouse mode and can be customized very well.
My only problem is that, the controller will not charge no matter what - from the fire tv directly, or when connected to pc, or from a wall charger.
The only way to charge it is to reset it (via the small pinhole in the back), or connect it to ps3 - this will make it lose the pairing with the fire tv and it will start charging again. I will have to set the bluetooth address again via the SixaxisPairTool from PC to get it to pair with the fire tv again.
My first question is - does the charging work for you after you have used the SixaxisPairTool from PC?
I also have a gamestop red samurai v2 controller. This pairs and works with the fire tv without any special app. However, misses mouse control.
I went through the threads here and understand that by creating a custom keyboard.kl file we can get the behavior we want for that controller. Can that idea be used to control mouse behavior as well? Any pointers would be welcome.
Thanks.

hah, so you're here as well... I also have/had ps3 controller paired with sixaxis, but I haven't used it for a while and ATM does need to be charged with actual PS3.
So, to answer your question PS3 controller did work(charged via phone charger and xbox one usb) for me after it was paired with sixaxis for long time until eventually I stopped using it and then ran out of juice. Now it needs PS3 to charge again (maybe once), before I can reuse wall charger. Problem is, I don't have PS3 on me.
yep. the ps3 controller with sixaxis app works so beautifully with both regular apps and side loaded apps (that require mouse), it is a shame that it cannot be charged.
i have it setup such that the right analog is mouse (always in mouse mode), left analog is rew/ff/prev/next, d-pad is d-pad, L1 and R1 are left and right mouse, etc.
the problem is the sixaxis tool works only with sony ps3 controller. is there any other app like this that will do the same with any controller? thanks.

well there are xbox 360 and xbox one controllers "how to" here, but I haven't tried them since both somewhat requires usb cable or dongle because they are not bluetooth based. and just repeating myself here, but ps3 controller does charge using other options and NOT ps3 only. BUT if it dies, then PS3 is required to recharge because you'll have to reset it.
ok. i am not sure why the charging does not work for me though. it won't even charge from PC once the SixAxisPairTool changes the mac address.
i saw the tincore app and i am planning to try it today with my gamestop controller.
How did you configure the sixaxis controller app? Whenever I try to connect the controller it never finds it even if i have the correct bluetooth address paired.
SUCCESS with tincore app. configuration is a bit difficult due to access via the fire tv remote and due to some menu items not showing up fully. however, once configured, the gamestop red samurai v2 remote works flawlessly - for necessary buttons as well as mouse.
i cannot get it to auto apply on restart and will investigate that later. for now, i am happy . thanks.

not sure what you are missing, but you can try this:
1. start the sixaxis server in fire tv and get the bluetooth address from bottom left
2. use the SixaxisPairTool in PC to set that address on the controller (for good measure you can reset the controller first by the pinhole in the back)
3. now pressing the glass PS button on controller should pair it

Yes and no. Ds4 works perfectly outside of shark space (the gaming mode) with zero issues.
With sharkspace enabled the ds4 looses connection and fails to reconnect untill sharkspace has been disabled/quit.
We can load sixaxis controller app from inside sharkspace, so in the future with root access (we currently don't have root) it should be usable in its gaming mode. But at present your going to have to play without one of the black sharks main selling points if you want to use your dual shock for.
This is also the case for all my 3rd party controllers, one user has claimed success with an ipega controller, but I've not got one to test, note planning on getting one.
The official controllers for the blackshark 2 are probably going to be the best option for full compatability unfortunately
Thanks bro!! I appreciate the time and dedication in the response, greetings. Maxx.-
Which controller have you guys tried? I tried my wireless controller using otg but seems like it doesn't recognize otg connection ?

I've tried a DS3, ds4, c.t.r.l and a nvidia shield bt controller, none worked inside sharkspace all worked outside.
I also manually changed the master addresses of the controllers aswell via a pc to match the blackshark2 with no success, tried various gamepad mappers also with no success.
As above there's a post on here somewhere someone recogned the i.p.e.g.a controllers work but personally I am not willing to buy one to test, maybe if someone with a legitimate blackshark2 controller would mind sharing the master bt address the controllers use we could use a pc to change our controllers (ds4 etc) to match, and maybe the blackshark would recognise our Bluetooth controllers as the official ones in sharkspace and stay connected.
That's my only other suggestion/idea untill we have Root access, and even then if they connect and they still probably won't, I dunno if there would be input issues caused as a result of the hardware not matching the software
As far as your otg controller is concerned does it connect and function as intended outside of sharkspace?
It doesn't work at all using otg. It says charging device ?
Just tried again, so my controller has two config dinput mode and xinput mode. Turns out one of them works and the other is not recognised. I think the xinput mode is what works and when I switch to it the controller works outside and inside shark space as well. Although, the button are a bit wrong but i remap them in game and i can play fortnite without any issues. I will still buy the black shark gamepad 2.0 though.
Your absolutely correct buddy thank you.
Dinput controllers such as the ds4 are not working inside sharkspace.
The nintendo switch joycons use xinput and work with the blackshark inside sharkspace. I did notice some input lag on the joycons but to be honest I wasnt playing the best game to test a controller. The switch pro controller also uses xinput so will assume that works aswell, but again not got one to test.
I have the Black Shark Gamepad 2.0, which is unfortunately a bit of a disappointment. It has some very strange aspects to it: Y button cannot be mapped in Shark Space mode, it acts as some toggle between touch screen emulation and mouse cursor mode, which I don't understand why someone would use that. It's useless to me as someone who wants it solely for emulators.
When used outside of Shark Space mode, the DPad and the lettered face buttons both register as the same thing A/B/X/Y buttons. Also, the right touchpad does not act like a stick, instead it acts like a mouse.
On top if this, there are no start, select or L3/R3 buttons. This amounts to playing in Shark Space mode leaving you 5 buttons short of a full controller and outside Shark Space to playing 8 buttons short.
I could get the master BT address for you but I am not exactly sure how to do it. Do I just need to pair it to a PC and do... what?
Has anyone tried using the Xbox 360 controllers

Philips 55PUS7909/12: Both Rear joypad and remote control not working

Hello,
Help needed please, I have a 4 years old Philips 55PUS7909/12 Smart TV. since yesterday, I cannot anymore control the TV: when using the remote control and the rear joypad button, the red led blinks but TV does not repond to any comand. Cannot change source, volume, enter the menu... The only thing I can do is plug and unplug the power cable to power on/off the TV.
When TV powers on, I see philips logo, then video and sound work perfectly on HDMI 1 input But then nothing else works, cannot switch to other HDMI or to TV cable since joypad/remote control are not working.
I have tried to use philips MyRemote app on my smartphone but it does not find the TV anymore, like if TV is not connected to WIFI.
Any clue please?
Hi,
MyRemote is the wrong app - try TV Remote App...
Try to connect an USB Keyboard... maybe some keys are working...

Hello,
I finally used recovery mode to:
1- wipe all data
2- reinstall the firmware copied from philips support site to a usb key.
Joypad is now working, remote control also, but when I press Home or source buttons, TV displays the "waiting/progress circle" like it is trying to display something but finally nothing happens.
I dont know, maybe a hardware issue is causing issues but I cannot identify it for now.
One question, after wipe and firmware reinstallation, I found back my old HDMI source names and icons, like if some parts were not wiped. Am I doing something wrong?
