I can not get the Moto G to recognize a PS3 Sixaxis controller while its plugged in via usb>OTG.
The same controller allows me to navigate through the launcher on a Nexus 7 connected the same way with nothing else installed and no root. I have also been able to navigate like this on the Moto G with a wired Xbox controller via USB.
I planned on mounting the Moto G on top of a PS3 controller, wired or wireless, has anyone got this working wired, or wireless wile rooted? I haven't rooted yet but will if this works.
I'm sure someone else out there owns a Moto G, PS3 controller, and an OTG cable, if anyone would be willing to give it a quick test I would be very grateful. :/
Ok after some testing I have discovered a few things.
1. The controller show up in the USB host controller app as a PS3 controller.
2. The first LED lights up like it is supposed to when trying to set it up with this app: Sixaxis Enabler
So it appears that apps can see and communicate with the controller to an extent, however I have not been able to use it successfully in anything like dead-trigger or emulators. Is it possible that the communication works but the implementation for it's input just isn't there in the ROM? Does Sixaxis controller have it's own implementation that will fix this if I pair it to Bluetooth?

Working Rooted
I finally rooted, and I can confirm that is does work with Bluetooth on the stock ROM after rooting! (thanks for the help everyone /s)

Thanks for the info in your post! I've been trying to get it to work too. I have a question about rooting. I've rooted every android phone I've had up to this point and used Cyanogenmod. However, I really love how the Moto G has great support with rom updates and such. So can I root my Moto G without compromising the rom or any of this support?
No one has a Wii controller to test?
Anyone got PS3 working on Moto G via Bluetooth? I haven't tested yet 'cause I will only buy my Moto G tomorrow.

It´s just a few post back that you can pair it with Moto G, you have to root your device though.
I tried to paur it with my wiimote but as I sooon found out the wiimote is no longer supported since jellybean 4.2. Android developers modified the bluetooth stack and it dosn´t work anymore. AFAIK it doesn´t work on Kitkat either.
I would love to root my moto g right away. There are some minor software annoyances that could be easily fixed, but I´m afraid that I´d lose warranty

i was wonderning if xbox 360 pad can be used with our sensation for gaming.
i'm saying this because ps3 pad can be used for gaming and all it takes a driver which enables it.
i'm not a dev but i would love it if someting like this can be done.
please dev can you give some insight about this thread.

What way does the 360 controller connect to the Xbox wirelessly? If it's Bluetooth, there *MIGHT* be a slight chance. But if it's not Bluetooth, no way to get it working.

it only says its use wireless at 1.4 ghz protocol to connect
othere than that i could not find anything
Ok this is what I do know about your question. I do think the X-Box 360 does use Bluetooth for the wireless controllers, but do not hold me to it as I have not researched it in depth. If it is Bluetooth then you should be able to connect it via Bluetooth if your device supports the service the controller uses to communicate. But this is where the problem lies at, I do not think the services or supported in Gingerbread. Now if the Sensation suppers USB host functionality then you probably can use a USB hub to connect your Sensation and the X-Box 360 controller to and use it that way.
Now in ICS I do know that game pads are supported. You can read the article on Engadget to read more about that.

Hi,
Unfortunately for you the 360 wireless controller works via radio rather than bluetooth (unlike the PS3 and the Wii)

one of many reasons why I can not wait for ICS!!!
p.s. I do not believe Xbox controllers run on Blutooth... PS3 controller yes.

Thanks for correcting me, as I said I had not ever really looked into it. I knew the PS3 controller worked via Bluetooth, so it was a incorrect assumtion on my part.
Also thanks to someone I consider a friend malybru.
Even so if you dont have a stock build of android like CM7, or MIUI, Bluetooth wont work with the ps3 or wii controllers... HTC needs to fix that in their next update. i love sense and i love gaming it sucks i cant have both
360 = rf
ps3 = bt
Yeah, you will never get a 360 controller working without a hardware mod of some sort.
Wii is BT as well.
i just want to know how does cm7 or miui allow the users to connect to ps3 pad
if they use different bluetooth app or driver files than i think it will be good for us to just move them in our phone and we are good to go.
if any 1 can tell me the reason these two rom can connect to ps3 pad. and what is it that allows them
U need a radio reciever in your phone at 2.4ghz to use xbox controller. Our phones dont. So no go. End of story
I know there are usb adapters for the xbox 360 controller , would it be possible to use a usb to micro usb cable and use USB OTG to get it to communicate, then creat some sort of driver to get it to work? Sorry if its impossible, just throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks.
LOL we work around science.

Sorry for digging out this topic but it might be usefull for some ppl. With new usb otg function i managed to control this wireless 360 pad to sensation. Here's my vid showing that Sensation and xbox 360 wireless pad
can you please supply the rom and kernel.
i tried several but no success.
Present ROM: cm_pyramid_userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76L eng.jenkins.20120810.032102 test-keys (CyanogenMod version 9.0.0 - pyramid)
Kernel Version: 3.0.40-TAMCORE-00689-gfe1a294
Android Version: 4.0.4
Still not working. Please provide your Rom and kernel version. Also the USB BT app please.
Thanks in advance
I tried everything but its not working. ROM and kernel that I'm using is posted in the previous post. Please help.
the USB bt joystick app is still not recognizing the wireless receiver.
Thanks in advance.
I have the Samsung galaxy note 10.1 (4.1.2 GT-N8013) I want to purchase a ps3 controller to play games on because some of the controls are not friendly for hours of play. I have seen that rooting the device would, potentially, make the sixaxis app work but, If there is a simpler way to do it with a PS3 controller i would like to know.
Could you run a wired connection without a root? highly inconvenient but would get the job done. I would rather bluetooth tho
If all fails and i need to root the device please post links to the best rooting guides you have.
P.S. i have searched for the solution and there isn't on that i found. I did see the compatible games thread but i figured it was dead.
i think it wont work without root and bluetooth connection. since samsung didn't build in the ability to use high performance device on the connector port the tablet just says that it cant use the device.
i already tried it out with the xbox360 controller and an external hdd. both give me the error i stated before.
we need a kernel that supports high performance devices but i dont know if there is already one. would be nice if someone could tell if there is such kernel at the moment!

seems like it works but your controller has to be fully charged
You should be able to use the PS3 controller as plug and play. I do so on my asus TF101 with games such as dead trigger and SG: deadzone, but it will only work with apps that are compatible with android conrollers. I dont this the same functionality is available for 360 controllers.
If you want to use the PS3 controller as a bluetooth controller, then you will need to root. you will also need a seperate app on your laptop so that you can load the correct address in to the controller.
It really is about time that Google added support for game controllers into the android os, considering the amount of games available and touch screen controls just don't cut it for alot of games imo.
Yes it's great that some games have built in support for pads like the 360 controller etc but the amount of games with that kind of controller support is very limited.

Ps3 controller plug and play does work but it's touchy, it connects fine sometime other times it resisters as a high power device why I don't know I have been trying to work it out for ages
So root and it will work if the games are compatible ? Whats the best root ?

Its working for me even with bluetooth. I think as long as you root, have the 30pin to usb extension from samsung, sixaxis will recognize the controller and set its bluetooth.
I have the NA verizon note 10.1 n8020 and used adamoutler Take Note jailbreak.
I just flashed my Moto G 1st gen to Android 5.1 GPE stock last night. Now the gamepad wont link up to my phone. The bluetooth radio is fine because it paired up to my bluetooth speaker without issue. The gamepad also links to my moms Moto G thats still on 4.4.4.
Im checking to see if anyone else has run into this issue with Android L on their phones. My controller is a Game Stop Red Samurai btw.

Hello, friends, I was wondering if there is a way to connect the Xperia Z4 Tablet to DS3 joystick using Bluetooth without root. I know that DS3 is not officially supported but maybe you have the solution.
Thank you [emoji2]

If you don't wish to root, I suggest you get something like this instead Telescopic Wireless Bluetooth Game Controller
Hi. I bought usb gamepad sqonyy sqy-862 (dualshock 2 copy), but my tablet z4 dont work with it. I have rooted tablet. Can someone help me?
Maybe with root you can install the ds3 apks the z2 series supports ds3 maybe it can be ported over. I recon it would have been by now but the support for this tablet is terrible not alot of people are developing for it, im tempted to go back to z2 tab because I can have root on locked bl.

Some info would help. You're connecting using a USB-OTG cable? What do you see in Android?
I purchased a UGREEN USB OTG Adapter from Amazon and I'm having some issues with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ (64GB). USB Thumb drives work fine, but I'm trying to connect an Xbox 360 wired controller and its not working. The controller works great on my older Galaxy S4; I can play a bunch of games and it's awesome, but not on the S6 Edge+. I downloaded a USB app from the Store and it detects it as a "Microsoft Controller". I've seen a video on YouTube that shows it working, so I'm not sure what I can do.
I'd really love to get a UtorCase for the controller and phone, but I want to make sure the controller works before I do.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does your system require IR blaster? If so the S6Edge Plus doesn't have one therefore won't work as a remote. Also since you have a Sprint variant you'll need to post any questions in Sprint threads you'll have a better chance of getting questions answered there. This is an international thread.

I have the Verizon variant with the same issue, I know these phone don't come with the IR blaster but from my slight knowledge that should have nothing to do with using a wired game pad with an On The Go(OTG) cable I've searched everywhere to figure out why my s4 could do what my s6edge+ cannot now. The most I've been able to do is guess that the s6edge+ doesn't support xinput yet I've seen many videos where people are using the 360 controller. I've recently upgraded to Android 6.0.1 my model # is SM-G928V and it seems the problem is still there least for my handset it still doesn't work...
I have the same problem with my internstional model..but im using ps4 controller..i can find it via bluetooth..but noticed button actions are very slow so i tried with OTG and sixxaxis app... my phone just wont find the OTG but only when i want to use a game controller..
After about a week of trying, I have wireless 360 controllers working on my s6 active. I'm using a Microsoft 360 controller receiver and an otg cable. I had to find a legit USB BT Joy Center apk (not the gold version, it kept disconnecting my controller) and then I found an app called Lucky patcher that let me remove the license verification on the app, since it has been abandoned by the developer. No root required! It allows you to keymap, so I can use multiple 360 controllers for emulators (Mario kart tested), and I even used it to play games streaming from my computer with Moonlight.
how you did it
