haha I like calling it blu toot!
anyone had success using six axis ps3 controller app with nook hd+?
I was looking forward to finally having jelly bean on this tablet since
ICS has a tendency to change blue tooth addresses every time it's rebooted.
I ran the free compatibility checker from the play store, it said the nook would work.
So I used the pc pairing tool to change my ps3 controller to the address of the nook.
It won't connect.
I even got a usb gender changer to connect it directly to the nook and pair it, it won't do it.

USB connection with the controller most definitely works, I tried it myself (you can also see it working in my original usbhost video).
I did not look into BT support as it sounds to be somewhat more involved than just pairing (usb connection very easy on the other hand, just plug the controller in and it jsut works (don't forget to turn it on by pressing the "start" button (triangle shaped)).
Where's the video?

Referenced from the original usbhost support announcement
aha! but you used a usb hub in the middle! didn't know I needed that.
The thing is though, the ps3 controller SHOULD definitely be able to connect
over blue-tooth, but it isn't with CM 10.1 for some reason...
I can't be the only one that would rather connect it wirelessly.
It works on nearly every tablet ever made as long as root is enabled.
if you don't mind, maybe you could download the free six axis compatibility checker
so you can see what I mean.

You would know if you'd check your dmesg to see that the ps3 controller claims it needs too much power to operate (Which it does not).
Also it's addressed in all other usb threads that devices that claim they need more than 100mA need to be hidden behind USB hub (unpowered is usually fine too).

With BT overhaul in Android 4.2 a lot of things broke on fundamental level, I know wiimotes are totally broken, it well might be that ps3 controllers are in the same boat and you'll need to wait until Google gets around to actually release unbroken implementation in 4.3

I guess I might try it one day. But my cursory reading indicates thre's some nonfree tool needed at one point in the process.
The six axis compat checker seems to only check that you have rooted device, and that's all it does.
That makes sense...didn't know it was broken implementation.
thanks very much for your words.
I can verify Sixaxis does work with CM 10.1 because I am running CM on my At&t Galaxy S2. I do not understand why with Verygreen's CM version it does not work. I mean since he is building from CM source.
very interesting...I wonder if it has to do with tablet aspects of cm 10.1
thanks for posting that Ederok.
I did get the controller working, by hooking it up to a non powered hub via usb cable, but would be so much better to use wireless blue tooth.

If it's not fixed soon I might be getting the new N7 when it releases and give my nook to someone else. A big reason that I bought this thing in the first place was so I could have a bigger screen for playing games wirelessly and knew that it was supported by CM but apparently not without its quirks
I could have sworn when I had my Samsung S2 I would plug in an xbox controller via usb through a USB OTG cable and it would just work in games. This isn't happening with my Verizon LG G2 that I thought supports USB OTG. When I plug in a media card reader for example I actually see a popup like something is working. Nothing pops up when I plug in the xbox controller.
Anyone get a gamepad to work or have suggestions?
Here is someone else with the same issue that seems to have made some progress:

I'm on Moga and Moga Pro Bluetooth controllers! Don't have a OTG cable. I did get a slimport cable though, and let me tell you, it is sweet playing Modern Combat 4 in 720p on my projector (don't have a 1080p projector) with a wireless controller ON A PHONE!
so you love the Moga? I guess I just figured since I had an xbox controller I'd save the money and only have to worry about battery life on the phone and not the controller. Also the xbox controller is awesome. What to do.... ugh.
Anyone else with gamepad setups they want to share? I guess I'll end up pulling the trigger soon if I can't resolve this. My gaming impatience will get the best of me : )
Another reason why I want wired is to reduce lag etc.. although I don't have experience with bluetooth lag but any perceptible amount is not worth it to me. So check out the email I wrote to LG:
to: LG
How come when I plug in my xbox controller through a usb otg cable it doesn't work? It should. Please see this post:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/54617/wired-xbox-controller-not-working-with-lg-g2
By the way, I really love this phone. Just hope you guys can enable gamepad support and pay to click using google wallet and the nfc chip.
Please advise,
Thanks so much,
Tahl
Here was their response... ha:
I apologize that you are having problems with the phone. If your xbox controller is not working with the phone you would have to get repair or troubleshooting information from Customer Care of Xbox.
If you are reading this, hope you had a good laugh too.

I do the same.
I have no solution to connect my wired xbox 360 controller to my LG G2 (if anybody has one, tell me)
I really like my phone and my controller
I hope LG will reply me in a good way but ...
wait and see.
Please ... tell me there is a solution.
Out of curiosity, did you try an AOSP ROM to see if it worked? I did not at this point.

I like the Mogas but they Feel similar to a 360.
Personally I think you can't get any better then a PS3 controller. It will work Wired out of the box (haven't tried on the G2) and also wirelessly through bluetooth with the rooted sixaxis app.
The PS3, I think, is a much better controller because of the separated DPad that becomes very very handy in retro gaming. Try playing SNES Mario World with a Moga or 360 and you'll hate it. I currently have 2 Ouya BT Controllers, a 360 Controller w/ Wireless Sync USB, and a PS3 controller.
I'm also curious if the PS4 was ever successfully paired to Android yet. The PS4 is similar to my Ouya Controller in a sense that it has the touchpad built in, which makes it very handy for navigating Android apps on a TV that aren't 100% gamepad compatible.
For gamepads to work, they need the specific .KO file that has the profiles. LG may not have included it. Custom roms should work out of the box though.

Is that possible to include it ?
No answer from LG. I'm furious ! A so good phone and no way to play with a wired controller. I was thinking that the ability was included diectly inside android. Why LG did extract this ability ? Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa I'm not saying they excluded it, but probably did... or goofed it up somehow.
Just do Bluetooth. Wired controllers don't work well anyway.
Are you sure it isn't working? You usually are required to download an app from the play store to really start utilizing the controllers for gamplay.
You can also just root and grab an app to restore the .ko file.

i really want to try this but how can I proceed ?
there is a lot of .ko files and I don't know the one to restore and how to do this.
I really like this device.. especially when combined with ps4 remote play...
I got no problem using DS4 controller wired to shield.. but it's wired...
the problem is everytime i play ps4 using shield/any other controller it turns the right analog into mouse.. so I it's really hard to press R3 button.. and hate the mouse cursor keeps moving...
Is it possible to turn off the right analog as mouse? Or any other trick so i can use my nvidia shield/360 controller to play ps4 remote play?
Thanks in advance
I have the modded remote play with the invisible touch buttons. I attach the DS4 pad to the SHIELD with an OTG adapter on the micro USB port. The pads works perfect and there are no visual cues on the screen (i.e Cursor)
The adapters are very cheap and you'll find other uses for it I am sure. Hope this helps
He's referring to the nvidia shield, which recently updated and added "right thumb stick as mouse" for non TV apps. So when you try to look around it shoes a mouse, and the thumb stick doesn't work as intended. I'm having the same issue and wondering if anyone has found a workaround or way to disable it too.

I'm not a mind reader lol This section is for the SHIELD TV which uses the Android TV OS (it's not the same as what the tablet or portable uses). Perhaps posting or looking in that section will get you guys an answer sooner...I wish you all the best with it.

Sorry I didn't see the last part that said "ie cursor" and saw the "otg adapter" and assumed you were talking about the shield portable devices. I too was referring to the Shield TV and just misrepresented it.
I used the XDA port with invisible touch buttons as well, but still get a cursor popup when trying to use the right thumbstick. If i'm not mistake, it's a feature added in the newest update to the Shield TV for non-tv apps to help navigate them better. I'm also unable to use the PS button or touchpad, but I just assumed it wasn't possible.

Well I feel like a putz. I didn't even realize there was a micro USB on the back, or that it would function differently than the USB ports. Using an OTG cable like stated above does work, and there is no mouse prompts when using the right stick! Thank you @honosuseri

Sorry for the confusion, I thought you were personally having problems with the SHIELD Portable with the built in pad. I was definitely talking about the SHIELD TV as you now know.
I have a USB HDD connected (adopted as internal storage) and had a USB receiver in the other port for a keyboard and mouse...that only left the Micro USB port available for the DS4, so I gave the OTG a go! Didn't take long to notice it worked far better than when in the standard USB 3 port. Happy to have helped
so there's no solution for this in shield android tv.. that's a pitty...

Xbox one S updated with windows 10 anniversary edition. Maybe the latest version.
I have 3 different android devices on android Nougat 7.1, working with all of them.
1. Axon 7 2017 Chinese, 4gb 128gb - stock zte rom - ZTE_A2017V1.1.0B16
2. Xiaomi mi pad - LineageOS 14.1
3. Nvidia Shield TV - Shield Experience Upgrade 5.2
And buttons are mapped correctly too. I have played some games and ppsspp with it.

Hi,
I tried taking kmsg(kernel log) when connecting xbox one s controller to Axon 7.
But I was unable to.
There is no /proc/last_kmsg
And bugreport is not being collected for reboot.
And I cant access /data/tombstones
Additionally dmesg in non blocking on android. So cant take kernel logs when the system reboots.
Any suggestions?

Normally, the phone does not reboot anymore if you have a nougat rom installed, when you connect the controller. Or at least, that's what's mentioned in this thread.

Hi,
I am on Nougat Rom, as mentioned previously.
Initial support for wired xbox one (S) controller was added to xpad kernel driver in linux kernel 3.17.
Chinese Axon 7 Nougat B16 has kernel version 3.18.31 (dunno about USA or Euro versions),
So I theorize that restarts are being caused by kernel panic due to driver problems, but I am unable to check.
I any case xbox one S controller wired OTG is not possible without custom kernel(maybe?) on last years devices, as most of them are on 3.10.
Maybe wait for Google Pixel ).

Ravi
Hi Guys,
Since an Xbox One Controller cannot be connected over bluetooth to this device (check out other thread here), I was wondering if the ZTE Axon 7 does pick up the device when connected over USB-C otg.
I know that button mapping is incorrect or that the controller doesn't seem to work with android games. I only intend to use it with moonlight, which has its own built-in driver.
What I'm looking for is confirmation that the Axon 7 does pick up a USB device when the controller is connected, you can see that if you use the AIDA64 app, under the USB devices section. I'm looking for a screenshot of this app on the Axon 7 with the xbox one controller connected.
You can find an example here.
Thanks in advance!

I've not been able to test OTG yet, will do tomorrow. But already tested with Bluetooth, and it's picked up as a regular controller with correct button mapping for several Android Apps (tried Moonlight & Mupen64).
I can now sadly confirm that while running LineageOS 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.2) on the phone, my XBOX One Controller DOES NOT WORK while connected over OTG, even more, I experience the reboot loop issue.
I've not tried it on the stock rom, but will stay on LineageOS for now. The controller does work over Bluetooth (with correct button mapping in my experience).
