I have seen a lot on the internet about getting PS3 and Xbox controllers to work on android phones and tablets but I haven't had any success in getting it to work. I connect my controller up to my OTG cable and then connect it to my GT-P5110 and when I do the controller lights up and continues flashing, but it doesn't work on any of the games that support it and doesn't seem to send any input to the tab. I also own a GT-I9100 and have tried it on that too with no success. Any information would be very helpful thanks.
NOTE: The OTG cables on my tab and my phone are both working fine for other things such as mouse and keyboard and usb flash memory. Also my phone is on stock 4.0.4 Rom and rooted with cf-root using the siyah kernel and the tab is also on stock 4.0.4 Rom and rooted but with stock kernel.

Xbox360 - SmartGlass
Not quite what I was looking for. I want an Xbox controller to control games and emulators on my tablet or phone. Excellent app though will have to try it out with my 360 later.

tried it with no luck alas
Me too... I have used my XBOX Controller on my Prime but not working on GTab2 7.0.
the apps I've seen are for connecting controllers thru BLUETOOTH, i don't know if it can be done WIRED.
does not work natively, need to use USB/BT Joycenter

Is there a specific rom port for our phone that would allow me to pair a sixaxis controller over BT?
I remember GS infuse allowed me to pair my phone with my laptop and transfer files like that. It was tedious but it worked, at least.

Any news on that?
Most custom roms should work, but on most custom roms BT is not working

I know on the Nexus 7 Sony PS3 SixAxis bluetooth/USB is supported out of the box with USB connection and seems to be the universally supported controller. I don't have the cabling to try but the Sony controller works fine for me over bluetooth with SixAxis app (requires root) on GN 10.1.
Wii also works
You can also use the Wii with the classic controller attached.
I'm using it and works great.
You need to use Wiimote controller app for some to work.
I think most people have a Wii... Try it.
Ill try it out with other controller then. I find it weird because on the tf700 I used to have it worked great maybe because of the powered USB on the dock?
I got my OTG USB cable and mice etc. seem to work fine. Tried the wired xbox controller and while it is detected via the BT joystick test app, it wont work in any apps.
Tried another generic USB gamepad today and nothing, not even recognised in the test app.
So has anyone managed to get a gamepad working natively? The main reason I ask if that my mum likes to play the odd old arcade game (cool huh) and she would need gamepad support and wont bother if she has to pay out and configure another it all via another app!
thanks
guess not
I have gotten a wireless sixaxis controller to work via bluetooth, but my wired xbox controller will not work.

stock 4.0.4
Use a ps3 controller. No wires = boss. And you can even use it for touch screen only games.

yeah if I could get one cheap then it would be great, my mum wont be up for spending a fortune
I have the same problem here. In my case I have generic USB controller and totally the tab and BT joystick test app cannot detect it. Did you manage to make it work?
For those who were able to get the game controller to work on tablet, which ROMS have the sixaxis program installed?

you'll most likely require a rooted devices and the appropriate keylayout files. Some devices already have them installed in /system/usr/keylayout or /data/system/devices/keylayout but I haven't looked to see if the Tab 7+ does or not. I have noticed that alot of the really cheap tablets have a crap load of keylayouts already installed but the more expensive devices do not...
I tried to use a xbox controller but the tab wouldn't recognize it. I have used a keyboard and it works great. Any usb keyboard should work.

from my experiences I was never able to get it running on ICS only JB
I wish there was a way for it to work but I think you would have to contact the developer for that
CyanogenMod have better bluetooth utility add-in, and yet, one more problem - some Sixaxis controller requires USB-OTG to get bluetooth ID. (my paid-for version requires USB-OTG or it can use bluetooth ID pulled from PC with Windows utility).

I have an ipega Bluetooth controller and pairs fine out of the box with my 3D optimus Cube without root.

That depends on type of joystick drivers. Some doesn't require root, other do strictly require root (due to nature of Bluetooth IO).
