[Q] Gamepad keymapping

Hi there! Is there any program/app that let's you connect your gamepad to play games and allows you to map parts from the screen to certain buttons without root?
Something similar with this guy's www[.]youtube[.]com/watch?v=GwrGpVquGyo,but i do not want to root my device.

Check out the Wiimote app I was going to post the link but it will not let me yet.

MOGA VK

An alternative to MOGA Universal.
Instead of handling everything Bluetooth related like MOGA Universal, MOGA VK uses MOGA Pivot to handle the controller connections. This change yields some benefits and some losses. Take your pick of app for what you need.
The star feature of the app is the automatic profiles based on foreground app.
Usage is as simplistic as possible. Add profiles, add apps to profiles, customize button mappings, play!
Feedback appreciated.

I have the MogaVK app installed on a Nexus 7 2013. It works flawless. Just curious, I havent found a solution for this as of yet but, does this support controlling the Android UI?
It seems MogaVK seems to only recognize user apps. I've tried to reinstall Android UI as a user app (which fails miserably). Any suggestion or works for a rooted version that can handle complete screen control?
My reasons are simply because I have a slight crack in the wrong place which has caused me to lose total touch control capabilities. So, I use Mobizen for setup and Dragon to open apps. My Nexus is pretty much just a monitor for playing retro games. But, I'm sure many people would find this useful.
Anyway, your app is great. Much better than the Universal Driver (in my opinion), which didnt even recognize my controller at all. Great work.

I want to play modern combat 5 using moga pocket. Will it work?

Game developing on pc?

Hey
So my pc kinda has limited capabilities, so i was wondering if there is an app to download that lets you write games on your android device, similar to AIDE which is used for apps, just instead now for games. Thanks

[Q] Would it be possible to simulate gyroscope with controller?

Hello there,
I build myself a vr headset (google's cardboard) for my phone so I could play around with some vr apps. Sadly enough most of these apps require a gyroscope. What a tragedy...
I started thinking, can't I just use a remote controller as a gyroscope, for example a wii or a ps3 controller? But I couldn't find any app supporting gyroscope control.
My real question is, if this would be possible, at what level would we need to build this app? Could it be done with the simple android library? Or do we need to dive into more advanced rooted solutions? Or maybe even edit our rom to make this work.
Anyway, this does sound like a fun project which I would like to spend some time in, if any of you have some tips or ideas on how to approach this, honnestly I have no idea how I would make this as I have never actually developed anything that required root components.
Thank you!

Touchscreen emulation on android console please?

Tldr: need to use controller for touchscreen games
I made a similar post before requesting some help and I was pointed to Droidmote, however that's not really what I was looking for and it didn't really do the job.
I have a mad catz mojo android console and a lot of games I want to play require I use a touchscreen. I've been digging around trying some apps and searching for a fix but I haven't found anything. I need an app that will allow me to use one of my controllers to emulate the touchscreen and I think there's got to be a reliable popular app I'm just not aware of any help?
For example final fantasy 4 looks great on my tv but I can't use a controller.
Ps: mojo console forum chat isn't active so I ask here because this problem applies to any android console thank you.
