Gamepad to work on the A500? (Richardtrips and Thors Kernel works!)

I'm running stock 4.010.38 right now and I've tried XBOX 360 remotes and a Generic USB Gamepad but I can't get it to work.
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to use it for Snes and N64oid emulator.
Cheers!
Edit: Please for those who are successful and unsuccessful with this, post your builds and your settings and gamepads! This way we can see whats what.
Edit: Progress (DEV)Richardtrips kernel 2.3 and Thors kernel they have generic USB gamepad support enabled! Awesome!

I'm running rooted stock and was able to get something from a final fantasy 14 gamepad. Gameboid couldn't detect some of the buttons, so it may be a limitation of the driver.

using a Saitek generic pad
Have a old USB saitek 6 button - plugged it in, works fine. Only can use 4/6 buttons but it seems to work fine, tested with a snes emulator, using 4.010.04 stock.

My wired 360 controller worked on 3.0. I haven't tried since updating to 3.1 since no games use it.

Guys dont forget to post your build number

I'm useing the new Virtuous XooM v1.1.2 HC 3.2 rom and my a500 works just fine with my ps3 controller hooked up through usb

Pretty sure all 3.1 firmwares sould work with xbox , some USB and ps3 controllers the main issue is that you can only use them in some apps like the emulators.
you can not controll eg the browsers with them. and dont think games like NFS work ether.
4.010.40, N64Droid, ps3 = yes, usb = yes

works great
...running 3.1 stock rooted, use the honeyvillian rom too. Logitech wired gamepad works great on nesoid emulator

4.010.11 com Gen 2. Wired 360 controller is working with cordy, snes9x, and n64oid. For cordy, no setup required. For the emulators, go to the button setup, select a button, then push a button on the controller

3.1 with the Picasso mod.
WiiMote works great, even the motion works.
Had to download an app from the market, WiiMote Something.
Not sure if the ubs remotes are the same, but I have to change my keyboard input, from stock to Game Pad, then map them in the games.

Unable to get the Xbox controller on mine to work.
It isn't an official MS one, its called "After Glow" which connects via a USB cord. When I plug it in the light flashes on the Xbox symbol but have not been able to remap it in Snes9x or any other emulator i have tried.
Build: Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1
Tempted to pick up a Logitech Dual Action Game pad as I can get one cheap and heard that it does work, anyone else have experience with this model?
*edit* Borrowed my mates official Microsoft Xbox USB controller and it worked fine so looks like I was just having an issue with the generic brand, shouldn't be surprised really.

thats good to know i just picked up an after glow yesterday and it didnt work i was afraid to go get a official xbox wired controller and have same problem good to know it worked but did all the buttons works this would be great for psx and n64 emulators

Just for info both Thors kernel and Richardtrips have USB Gamepad support.
It didnt work before but it works now, but still not with my xbox 360 controller.
Cheers!

Wiimote Controller app.
Works great.
EDIT
I couldn't get a Logitech Precision USB controller to work, unfortunately.

Using Taboonay wit thor kernel, mine did not work (ps3) connected with USB.
Did some googleing. found out i need a OTG cable.
Too bad wireless and normal USB are not working. (or maybe im doing something wrong)

Its working perfect for me im using a generic ps3 look-alike.
I think that generics should all work because it basically acts as an outside navigation tool like a mouse and you can move around the Honeycomb UI as soon as you plug it in the/USB port.
Will upload a picture of my remote later.

Is anyone else having issues with the Start buttons on controllers taking you to the home screen?
I ended up having to map start and select to L3 and R3.

Theoretically you should be able to navigate the entire UI using the gamepad so I dont think that is strange behaviour.
Nothing to worry about.

It is when it prevents me from being able to map buttons correctly.

[Q] How to get Power A USB Xbox360 Controller working with Nexus 7

OK I have a Power A Xbox360 controller that I purchased from walmart and I am trying to connect it to my nexus 7 (which is rooted and running 4.2.1 CM10) but I can't seem to get it to work. The middle button flashes green as if the controller is connect, yet it will not work for any game or allow me to map any buttons to get it working. I have searched Google and found as long as you are at least running 3.0 and above it should be just a matter of plug and play. Can any one help me and let me know is there is anything I am doing wrong or is it maybe my controller model is just not applicable for this task.
P.S Yes I am using a OTG cable and attached below is a picture of my controller if that helps.
Thanks

[Q] Issue with controllers - lag

I have tried 3 different controllers with my phone so far and nothing works very well.
I have an ATT version of the Note3 running Android 4.3 on Baseband N900AUCUBNB4 - rooted of course.
I tried the Sony Ps3 Dualshock 3 controller with the Sixaxis app, and found the analog sticks worked great and the d-pad worked well in the main android windows, but as soon as I launched a game there was extremely bad lag on all buttons except for the 2 analog sticks. I'm talking a full second and up of delay before the system responds. I tried bluetooth and connecting to USB and it's the same.
I tried the xbox 360 controller with USB connection and tried to use it natively, but it has the exact issue that the Dualshock 3 had.
Fine, I figure maybe It's not meant to be and decided to try the Moga Pro Power which is actually made for android. On this controller, the buttons work great in the A mode, but the analog sticks have a gigantic deadzone in the middle! Not only that but the buttons all feel really weird. Not impressed one bit with this controller. Then I tried the B mode to see if the analog deadzone would go away. It stayed the same, but then the button lag appeared as it had on the PS3 and 360 controllers.
I'm at a loss here. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the stock ROM or what. I'm going to try a new ROM in the meantime but I find it rather odd that I can't find a single person having this issue via google or this forum...
Thoughts?

How do you connect them with phone I wana know ? I will try connecting my nephews xbox 360

a USB on the go cable

Well, after a few weeks of screwing around with the stock ROM and 3 controllers, I decided to try a new ROM. I flashed the firenote ROM and tried my xbox360 controller with the usb cable, and sure enough, it works fantasticly. Only one slight flaw- the green light that indicates which player the controller is pointing to just constantly flashes.
I would also like to say that I contacted Moga customer support a week ago and have not heard any response about the terrible analog sticks, so I returned that thing. A full week and not even a reply!

Update on this: it had nothing to do with the ROM. It's xposed additions module that screwed everything up.

Bypassing the Xbox 360 controller bug

Hey guys,
I guess many of you don't know, but this tablet has an issue with the xbox controller.
As far as I've tested, whenever I press the A,B,X,Y,R1,L1 buttons they don't register the releases.
I've tried many different things, such as changing the keyboard layout for the controllers, and even making my own. Not successful though.
Well, I've managed to "bypass" this problem by configuring the gamepad keys on the games (the ones that we can configure, of course) to don't use these buttons I listed.
I changed the A,B,X,Y to the right analog stick, and the R1,L1 buttons to the R2,L2 Triggers (which are analogic).
Then the controller may work flawlessly, specially with emulators.
For some(most) android based games that we cannot change the gamepad buttons, well, nothing to do. It an hardware issue.
It recognizes the USB 2.0 as 3.0, and that makes the controller (and other OTG-needy stuff) malfunction.
Does anyone know if LG is aware of this issue?

Same issue with lg g2 and xbox controller with wireless receiver... We need help pls!

Thx for the response.
The problem isn't with the Xbox 360 Wireless controller itself.
I've tested with my other WIRED Xbox 360 controller as well, same issue, even with the (missing) correct keylayout files.
And I bought this tablet purely thinking about gaming with my controller... what a pain in the ***.

Indeed this is an annoying issue. There were other threads opened about this but no one could ever solve it, including one of my own. Anyway, that's a shame, since I also bought this for gaming =(

Let me see what i can do

Bump? :'(
i'd love support for the controller.

Controllers not being recognized?

I was wondering if anyone has tried hooking up a ps4 controller or any other third party? I hooked an otg cable from my ps4 to the phone and the ps4 light stays blue when it should be orange? I tried connecting via Bluetooth and it sees the device and pairs wirelessly naming it wireless controller in the device list but the buttons don't register in emulators or supported android apps that used to work with my note 5? I used to use my controller all the time but now with my new s7 edge I can't get a controller to work? Can anyone else try for me and see if you have different luck? I tried the otg to an x1 controller and it rebooted my phone....

I got the same results with the Xbox One controller. Wireless adapter still doesn't work (expected), but when plugging the controller in via USB my phone would boot-loop until I unplugged the controller. And even then it still rebooted two more times before working again. I haven't been home to try my Wii or Xbox 360 controllers yet. I thought I would just grab the XBone controller and use it with the Gear VR today on my lunch break. What a disappointment.

I tried hooking ps4 controller and had same issue. I found it might be related to faulty not tested drivers in marshmallow system. Yeah I'm disappointed too.

Moga works.

My Xbox 360 wired controller works, PS3 doesn't (wired or bluetooth).

Same problem here. PS3 controller wired with OTG, just has the 4 charge leds blinking, nothing happens.
XBOX 360 controller, home button keeps blinking and also nothing happening other then that.

Same here ps4 controller not working, causing phone to crash and boot loop when connected. I have a wired Logitech pc x input controller that I tried and it seems to work just fine. But this totally sux as I love my ds4 and was hoping to use it with the gear vr. The Logitech is no where as near as comfortable as the ds4. At least I have something that works for now. Hopefully there will be a fix.

i have tried xbox 360 wired, xbox 360 wireless receiver and a xbox one controller, none work in the s7 but the xbox 360 ones work in my other phones...

Has anybody found a way to use an Xbox one controller with their s7 devices?

Xbox one controller not working at all
I was using my xbone controller with my s7 edge and it rebooted my phone after that it doesn't read my phone anymore and it won't work with me Xbox one, wireless or wired. When I push the guide button it won't turn on and when I plug it into the Xbox it just blinks twice and dies. Don't use your Xbox one controller on your s7!! If anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know lol

You mean to sync it to the Xbox? It does but it only blinks twice and then dies. I left it charging over night and that's all it would do. I left it charging again and I'm about to try it with my Xbox but yeah so far no luck lol

you guys know you need a custom kernel with xpadder support enabled and the xbox fixes for the linux kernel version. So if you want it build the support in the kernel and it will work.

no, the DS button I'm speaking of, is one that let u make a "factory reset" of the controller, making it like new (speaking of paired devices) so u can pair again as it was new, that ususally solves when the PS doesnt recognize it properly, but I'd never had an xbox so I don't know if that exists on their controllers

Hope they get a fix for this. Got an xbox one controller to play both on PC and my s7 edge. But.. fook this

has anyone found a solution to this yet? im now running on nougat . just getting boot loop error. it finds the controller for less then a second. soon as the xbox one controllers rumble pack generates the "connected" rumble. it shuts the phone off

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM- 900V Rooted Android 7.1 CyanogenMod 14.1 kltevzw Build NDE63P crashes and goes into boot loop when I plug in OTG cable with Xbox 360 controller attached. The second I unplug it, everything is ok. Different ROM maybe? Trying to play games using Google VR so I need to run a controller or it sucks. I have stock 360 controller and a Powera 360 mini controller (preferred)
