[Q]Apps to remapping usb games controller button

I bought a cheap usb games controller,use it with otg and it work natively, it work with shadowgun but one problem occur, joystick on the right hand side not working properly..when I move the joystick vertically the screen will move horizontally and vice versa..that the only problem I have when play Shadowgun..And with GTA 3, only left hand side joystick work and other button is not functioning..Is there any apps that I can do to remap the controller button..I try usb/bt joystick centre but it can't detect my controller..I hope devs here can cook something so we can remap controller..
I have similiar problem - all the buttons function, but they are in "wrong place" square is x, x is circle and so forth. I have tried many applications, but have not found a functional one!
You can try using Gamekeyboard to remap any usb controller. Go to settings and remap physical keys.

[Q] Keyboard Dock Functionality

Hey all,
So I just recently bought the keyboard dock (a little late to the game I know ) and I was wondering if I could add some functionality to it.
First am I able to change what apps open with the function keys? Mainly I want to change the browser button so that it opens Chrome Beta instead of the stock browser.
Also can I add keyboard shortcuts in various apps? Specifically is there any way I can add cntrl+T or cntrl+F etc to Chrome Beta?
Finally, when I lock my screen using the lock function key I cannot turn the screen back on without reach up and clicking the button on the tablet. Is there a button on the keyboard that does this? Does it not work in ICS?
That's about all I can think of right now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know the answers on all your questions yet.
You can bring your tablet to life by swiping your finger over the touchpad, then press the home button to unlock.
Don't think there is a function to attach buttons to self-defined apps for now, anybody: correct me when i'm wrong.
See here for the browser button issue. As far as remapping other keys, that's dependent upon each application.
And if the TF101 w/ ICS is anything like the TF201, there should be a setting for dock power saving. If it's enabled, then the tablet won't wake up to key presses on the dock.

Thanks for this! I was wondering how to do this. I just recently gave out trying to figure it out since the key press is one inch away from my screen icon LOL. I have to say, Google needs to replace the stock browser with Chrome in future Android versions. What an improvement!!

Analog triggers

Anyone know how to map the analog triggers? So far I can't get any emulators to recognize the L R triggers.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
Supern64 recognized mine. The buttons on screen don't look like they are recognized but they are. It's the only one I've really tried so far.
I've noticed it too. I kept downloading different emus to be able to map the triggers. ppsspp(psp emu) has a GIT build that lets you map the gamepad
I noticed they don't work in some emulators too. Most importantly N64oid. It doesn't recognize the triggers or second joystick. Had to use mupen.I don't think they work in supergnes or myboy. It's annoying..
Edit - I forgot you need root to use tincore keymapper. I always root my stuff so I didn't even think of that.
The app Tincore Keymapper can do it. You need to have the app running while you play whatever emulator you want the keys mapped to. It can detect the right stick as well. It can also detect which emulator or app you are using so it can switch to that profile without you needing to change settings if you want multiple profiles.
A couple of pointers about that app if you use it.
The app doesn't seem to be able to detect the home key very well so it doesn't really work while the app is running. What I did was map the nvidia key (which tincore sees as the power button) to home while the tincore app is running. Not really a big deal since the nvidia key is really only useful if you are rebooting or planning on playing tegra games which wouldn't need the tincore app to be running.
The volume key needs to be mapped to volume_mute as otherwise it is going to get set as the "Select" key and your volumes won't work.
For touch based games, I have to use "Swap scale" and force the orientation into landscape under "device natural orientation" in the tincore app settings in order for the touches to be mapped to the proper screen location in touch based games. This wouldn't matter if you only ever use it for emulators though. If you don't select these your dpad or other buttons may not map to the proper location on the screen.
For the right analog stick to function without having a mouse pointer floating all over the screen you may need to disable the mouse pointer before you run the tincore keymapper. You can disable that mouse pointer in the android settings under controller.
Anyway, this may seem confusing but once you mess around with the app a little you will understand what I mean.
I had to download the app to my Galaxy S 3 and pull the apk out and sideload it to me Shield. The dev said he is working on getting the Shield to show up properly in the play store and he recommended side loading it for now.

Always show soft keys

I've looked around for this answer, but most people seem to want to do the opposite.
What I'm trying to do is always display the soft keys, even in immersive mode.
Android 6.0
Running an X64 device so using xposed isn't possible.
The reason I want this is for my kids.
They haven't learned to swipe up well yet, they are used to ipad physical keys.
There is a physical key on the device that can be mapped, but it's not detected by button mapping. Long press activates a projector, I thought I could use a single press to take it to the home screen...
The other issue is the cases on their devices block the bottom area a little bit, so swiping up is difficult.
Instead of a floating keys app, I'd like to be able to display the system soft keys all the time.
Anyone know how to accomplish this?
I have easy Solution:
I you have fingerprint you can try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep
Or try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bs.smarttouch.gp
I think this would be the easiest and perfekt way
I think the on-screen buttons can't be set on permanently without root.
Hope it helps

The smarttouch app looks good. I'll try it.
I am rooted, and would still like to always show the system keys to get the kids used to the back, home, and recent keys

Just deactivate stock navigation buttons and try this app:

I think this would be perfect

How do I use Right Mouse Button properly on Android

I use an app called toolbox to play Minecraft with mouse and keyboard
When I go to Minecraft settings
it show place block as button 3 and when I remap it and press right mouse it shows butpn 3 again and instantly goes back.
I think that toolbox interprets right mouse as button 3 and Minecraft instantly thinks it's back
Any way to fix this by using adb?
