[Q][APP] PS3 Sixaxis Controller - Touch Emulation - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Update: fixed with latest update.
Anyone that has an S4 and uses the sixaxis controller app; have you managed to get touch profiles working?
Games that natively support game pads work fine, though those which require manual touch profiles do not (for me at least).

I believe you can connect the PS3 controller to the phone using a cable without needing root (could be wrong though)

Have been trying to get touch profiles to work on the S4 for quite some time until I realized it wasn't just me.
Really hope this can be fixed with a Sixaxis app update. Are there any other alternatives for now? I'm guessing not.

turns out the sixaxis app developer has being working on a fix... he sent me a new .apk to test and it works perfectly! Hopefully he'll update it to the play store soon.

Yes. I do that and it works, but only works for some games. I would like to map out the buttons on unsupported games. So far I need root for to do that because the apps available are meant for phones that do not have PS3 compatibility by default.

yes well I believe there is no other way... touch emulation I'm certain, requires root, and this cannot be done otherwise.

Hi,
I'm using my new S4 and I cant get the touch profiles to work
I tested on Dead Trigger, follow the instructions carefully, but they don't work.
Have the developers made the fix already?
Nevermind: I figured out that I was using an old version of the app

SixAxis app does not work with N10 :(

Well...I finally rooted and unlocked my device today only to find out that the sixaxis app does not work with the N10. It always fails to configure bluetooth and ends up messing up the WiFi and requiring a reboot. Huge downer as this is one of the reasons I bought an N10 was to use my PS3 controller on it.
Has anybody had any luck with Sixaxis and the N10?
Did you run the compatibility checker on it? If that doesn't help, you should email the developer. He probably just needs to update it for 4.2.
Yeah. It doesn't even load the local Bluetooth address. I'm not sure if he even supports the app anymore as there has not been an update on the website since December 2011. I emailed but curious if anyone has gotten it to work...
Edit: never mind. Posted on the play store that hes fixing it!

Sixaxis Touch Emulation?

So, Ive managed to get sixaxis working. It was straightforward and easy. But even though the controller works as gamepad, Im not able to use the Touch Emulation for games with no Gamepad option... Does anyone else have this issue?

Jailuis,
First step is to make sure you are Rooted and install Google Play Store. If not follow our guides below.
Once you have Root and Amazon Market (Google Play Store), then you open Google Play Store,
search for Sixaxis Compatibility Checker then Open the software. Choose Start, it will the attempt to initialize Root, click
"Allow" when you see the Superuser request. Wait for the results, it should come back "Success
Your device appears to be supported. If anything is missing, it will advise how to solve the problem.
Next you go back to Google Play Store, search for Sixaxis Controller. Then
you will need to pay $1.99 for the software, next download, it will automatically install.
When you are done, choose "Open", at this point everything else will make sense, if not,
send a reply, we usually respond quickly.
Note: You can not 'hack' or 'bypass' the need for the controller software, it just will not work
correctly without the Controller Software.
It works jist fine, I mean, I can use it as a native android controller. What I cant do is use the touch emulation, and im wondering if anyone else is having that issue.
Thanks in advance!

Should work, did you create a new touch profile using the Sixaxis Controller app, Press Menu > Preferences > Touch Emulation ?
I have some customers using Sixaxis Controller Touch Emulation without issues. I know it requires a profile to be setup. Maybe
this step was missed or did you create a touch profile? If you did, were there any issues or is this where your problem
exists, in the setup of Touch Emulation Profile?
I was able to create a profile, and I did indeeed, but after selecting it, it wasnt working. I will try again later and will com back, thanks for the help

I am sorry, we had a crazy day and I was out most of the afternoon. We called and left another
message at about 11am this morning. I also send another email. Some business closed this week,
so let's not worry until Monday. Send me a PM on Monday AM, anytime, just so I do not forget.
Mondays can be crazy, this is why I want you to send a reminder.

After 5 phone calls (left messages) and several emails, we gave up!
Did you see my new post? Did that help or is it still not functioning as designed? I am starting to wonder if Dancing Pixel Studios is out of business? Looks that way....................or they do not believe in supporting the end user.

I think most of it is down to the screen resolution not being supported yet.

Thanks for that, didn't know he had released a "non root" version as well.

Will the apps still run in full screen using this method as it tricks the display into a smaller resolution?

Yes, i believe it doesn't trick the display into a smaller resolution, just tricks the store to think it is a different resolution.....if that makes sense?

Gamecih won't work on 4.3 gives the system to deny root even though I granted it access. However gamecih worked better for certain games. Game killer is fine too but didn't work for some games.

Kit Kat - Did they finally fix the Bluetooth keyboard problem?

Hello all,
I am one of those people whose Bluetooth keyboard stopped working on my N7 after the update to 4.3.
For anyone else that had this issue and has upgraded to 4.4, is the problem finally fixed?

Yes, it works perfectly. I tested it with a Logitech keyboard and Swype, it finally recognizes even german characters like Ä, Ö or Ü :fingers-crossed:
Awesome news, thanks !!!

I never tested this on 4.3, but I reconnected by BT keyboard and this morning and it was working fine for my 5 second test.
I finally got a copy of the 4.4 ota zip and did a sideload. My Bluetooth keyboard does work like a charm again ! Finally !

Download wiimote controller.
Google how to connect wii remote to nexus 7.
Follow the instructions :beer:
It only works on 4.1.2 and earlier tho.
Thats why i went back to 4.1.2 and asking if it works on 4.4 because they changed something with bluetooth that broke the ability to connect to wii remotes in 4.2 i believe.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu............
Why is this such a task? To either fix or to develop for? It was almost two years ago that I was using a wiimote with the same phone I have now, the only difference is the software, the hardware is perfectly capable... So disappointing.
You have to be rooted I believe or you get no route to host even on 4.1 so i'd like a rooted KitKat use to try for giggles again with the wiimote app. from all the research I pull it's not fixed. something about the stack missing the ability to accept pairless devices. It's killing me too I built custom wiimote controllers for android and only way to use them on 4.3 is a annoying CSR dongle with OTG.

I haven't been able to get it to work on my SGS3 running CM11. However, I heard rumors of this app (Uh, can't post links. Search the play store for "USB/BT Joystick Center GOLD") working. I'm going to try the demo version of it when I get home this evening.
The "USB/BT Joystick Center Gold" has a free version that you can install to test and see if the paid version will work on your device as-is, or if you will need to order an external dongle to connect to your device. For us NOOK HD/HD+ folks on CM10.1 and higher, we might as well abandon the WiiMotes... for now.
