I've searched all the forums, as well as the web, and followed every bit of advice and / or instructions I could find on the issue, but no matter what I attempt to do I can't get any games to work with the xbox 360 controller. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the skyrocket via an OTC cable?
More Details:
When I first plugged it in, the device seemed to recognize the controller (the lights on the controller would start flashing, the phone would give a message saying that a usb device is connected - but no games (I used emulators as well as games that are supposed to specifically support playing with an xbox controller, like GTA 3) were able to recognize or use the controller. Since then I've downloaded and installed a few different files on my phone to try to get the controller to work (.kl and .kcm files) as well as the app USB/BT Joystick Center 6 (which recognizes the controller and seems to work when I'm setting it up, but games are still unable to recognize the controller). I'm completely out of ideas of what to do or what the problem could be, so if anyone's had success with this or has an idea how this could be done, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I really tried to do my due diligence on this before I posted. Everything I've read seems to indicate that ICS can pair PS3 controllers natively, with no need for the Sixaxis Android app, and no need for rooting. But I simply have no succeeded in doing so. I was trying with an older controller from the first generation of PS3s, and though that perhaps it was too old, so I went out and dropped $60 on a new official Sony Sixaxis Dual Shock 3, and I'm still have no luck. I have tried plugging the controller in by USB to the dock first, because some people seemed to indicate that that would help the two devices pair better. And while plugged in by USB, it works fine, I can map the buttons in emulators and use them with no problem. But when I unplug the control pad, hit the Sony button in the middle, and let the TF700 search for devices, it never finds my controller. It's found a Wiimote with no problem, but then of course it wants a pin, and that's its own problem. It's even found my Xperia Play on bluetooth, so I know it's not the bluetooth hardware. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Sixaxis obviously won't work since there's no root method. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I couldn't connect my ps3 controller to my galaxy nexus without sixaxis. With root and sixaxis it worked immediatly.

There is in fact a root method (look for debugfs, don't have the link handy), I use sixaxis and have my PS3 controller paired to my Infinity the day I got it.
I was able to use my PS3 Sixaxis controller on my TF101 with ICS (via bluetooth), but not on the TF700 for some reason.... It only seems to work while cabled (with the TF101, after using it for a minute as a "wired" controller, it automatically paired itself via bluetooth - after the first minute, you didn't need the cable anymore... Not sure why it doesn't work on the TF700. Strange...

It seems like (for whatever reason) Asus did not include the drivers for Ps3 controller in TF700. On my Prime and OG TF, it would automatically pair after using it once over USB. Not a big issues though as I had already purchased Sixxas app.
SixAxis app works great to connect the PS3 controller to the device, but it does *not* satisfy all requirements that the built-in drivers that other tablets and CM9 does. For example, I am an OnLive subscriber and the PS3 controller does not work whatsoever with SixAxis. However, I can plug it in via USB, or use a Xbox360 controller and they work great. This isn't a HUGE issue at the moment, but I did have dreams of having multiple Ps3 controllers and plugging the 700 in to my 60" on occasion. I have also found that when using the PS3 controller even with SixAxis' gamepad emulation, it often doesn't allow the right analog stick to function. At the moment, this is working much worse than on my TF101 w/ CM9 on it.

I wish I could run OnLive here in my country, because as far as I can tell, the app should behave exactly the same with OnLive when the 'Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad' option is enabled. Evidently there are some differences that are causing issues. I'm not sure what problem you're having with the right analog stick, but you should ensure that you don't have any touch profiles enabled when in native gamepad mode, as they will override the gamepad inputs.
Can we expect Asus to resolve this (Bluetooth built-in connection) along with JB?

Don't get your hopes up.
About the only "viable" way I could see ASUS doing this would be if they made and marketed their OWN controller that could also be used with teh PS3 systems. But that would be still a limited market and would not be financially viable for them.
Well I thought I let you guys know pairing PS3 via the dock is working Idk if it's jellybean or clean room 2.3 feature but I have out working so far, check it out

Works also with stock JB.
Confirmed JB works
Just confirming that the JB update includes the drivers to use the SIXAXIS controller. I just got my TF700 and it wouldn't even detect the controller in ICS in the bluetooth menu, but it did respond when it was plugged in via USB.
Just updated to JB and plugged in the controller. As soon as I turned it on it added the controller to the paired devices list in the bluetooth menu and now it works flawlessly!
Cheers

hey guys,
thought id share that splashtop 2 now supports controllers, mainly the xbox 360 controller but ive been testing with a ps3 controller (bluetooth) and it works surprisingly well, the ps3 controller seems to have an issue with deadzone with the analog sticks (ive contacted suppot) but other than that latency is low and very playable, ive been testing it on a 801.11n 2.5ghz network about 20+ meters away from my router and it was still playable.
To enable controller support, you need to install a driver,
open cmd with admin permissions an run cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Splashtop\Splashtop Remote\Server\GamePad" then install_driver64.bat (or install_driver.bat for 32bit e.g.)
Restart splashtop and it should work, still the fullscreen game limitation but most games support borderless and/or windowed mode.
Enjoy

I'm having a little trouble with this. I've seen a few other people online with the same problem, just no answers yet. I did everything just as you said there, just as the splashtop website says, that is. I had it say "echo off" and then a few seconds later, windows asked me if I wanted to install the driver. So I did, it installed, and I restarted splashtop. I even restarted my pc, when that failed. Either way, when I plug my Xbox 360 Controller for Windows into the usb of the dock of my ASUS tf300t, it just blinks the green circle and the only control I have is the left analog, and maybe like one other button. Any ideas?

Hmm are you using a custom rom? with my tests i used a ps3 controller and sixaxis app to access it, also does this happen on native android games? try recreate a driver using usb/bt control app

No custom rom. I do not have the tablet rooted at all, which disables me from being able to use the sixaxis app to test my ps3 controller or the usb/bt app. However, you are correct, both the PS3 controller and the Xbox360 controller for windows work perfectly on native android apps like GTA:Vice City and various emulators. So I guess that just leaves Splashtop. I'm nearly 100% certain that the Splashtop software the tf300t comes pre-loaded with is Splashtop 2. But I could be wrong.

Oh make sure you download the latest splashtop 2 app from playstore, if you haven't already thats almost certainly your problem

Yeah, I did that too. lol. Still no go. I then went back and uninstalled and reinstalled all the software. Still no go. I was now thinking I'm just going to have to use a ps3 controller connected wirelessly to my pc upstairs, but that would require me spending another 15 bucks on a bluetooth usb adapter. I don't want to do that. lol.

Maybe time to switch to CromiX and try? im actually surprised there are people who haven't yet its far...far better than the laggy stock firmware
Hello guys, i've got a problem with xbox 360 controller triggers on android games. I've got an OTG and i tried to plug in a wireless xbox 360 ORIGINAL controller and a wired xbox 360 NOT ORIGINAL controller. Both of them works, but have problems with triggers (RT and LT). Triggers aren't recognized at all by any game. I've got a oneplus one rooted with custom ROM Exodus 5.1 with latest open gapps mini. I don't think is a rom problem because i had this same problem with two other roms before. What can i do?
You have to keep in mind that triggers are technically no buttons (like A,B...).
They are axes and are basically a third analog stick split into two. In the end they are both analog.
On PC, games access the controller via the xinput api (in directx).
This api is just not available under android that's why games don't recognize the triggers as buttons.
There might be a wrapper which could fix this, I don't know.
thank you for your answer, but i saw some videos in which people use those triggers.... someone else knows how to deal with them?
i want to use the controller for apps like fpse and stuff.
already tried USB BT Joycenter but that wasnt working, the controller was connecting and showing as First player but there was no input and i cant get any updated version of the app cause i cant find it on the appstore.
the other thing i tried was editing the controller layout files, but they werent even on the tablet.
is there anything else i can do to get this to work?
I tried to connect my xbox 360 wireless controller via dongle aswell. it kinda connects but i am not really sure. the moment i let the dongle and the controller search for each other they seem to find each other straight away, but the led ring just keeps blinking and wont find a channel so to speak.
i followed sleeplessninjas guide and copied over the vendor_45e_product_0291/0719.kl and kcm but it didnt change the controller problem.
the controller is not recognized by any app i tried nor does the system itself show any response to the controller input.
i can connect a mouse or a usb flashdrive without a problem plug n play out of the box. but the controller wont get recognized.
i read on a shop review that the problem would be that the lenovo tab2 a10 doesnt have driver for the controller shipped with it.
my question would be: would cooking up my own android rom help and would i even be able to make it work on the device, i keep reading about lenovo devices being *****y about bootloader and such.
and then again cooking up ones own android is kinda of a longshot for an android beginner like me. need to read more. propably doable but are there even drivers available for the device fitting the system?
would appreciate someone shedding a bit of light in all the confusion cheers
