Got my Xbox One yesterday and I wanted to use my Xbox One controller on Android, simply plugging it via USB OTG won't be enough so i'm wondering if there are any free apps that could make it work? i want it mainly for GTA San Andreas, won't even bother buying it until i can use my Xbox One controller.
By doing some googling i found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygold i tried the free version but that's useless, won't let me test it in any games, just the app itself.
Any suggestions?
Still nothing ...
It's Feb 2015, and there's still no app that allows the Xbox One controller to work on Android ... root or no root.

Heya all,
I thought I'd ask quickly if anyone else thinks WP7 could use an official MS gamepad. Considering the level of gaming that we could potentially be experiencing on our devices, I'd think a gamepad would be a must! Even if it were just a regular 360 controller that links with the phone, it would have a place in my bag/pocket.

a 360 controller won't connect to the phone because the xbox controllers don't use BT to connect like the wii and ps3 remotes.
I also wouldn't mind some sort of official controller, but I haven't seen one yet for any phone and I doubt microsoft will allow one.
er, theres no way i could fit an xbox controller in my pocket.
Can I use a bluetooth wimote or bluetooth playstation controller with the Note 10.1. I would like to play some old Nintendo games I used to play back in the day with the emulators. I read that you can use bluetooth controllers when playing games which I would prefer since the whole on screen controls don't appeal to me and I find it difficult. My question is do I need root in order to set this up or can I do it with stock on the 10.1. I heard of some sixaxis app or something but don't know if I need it. looking for some help since I'm sure others on this board know a lot more about this than I do. If anyone has any other advice for me...I'm all ears. Thanks

I'm not sure about the Wii mote, but the Sixaxis app is specific to playstation controllers I believe and requires root so i doubt it would work on the stock 10.1.

+1 for this query.
On the TF101, you just needed to connect a PS3 pad via the USB port and press some buttons to verify it worked. This in turn synced the controller. After this switching on the tablets blue tooth and pressing the PS logo on the PS3 controller would allow it to work via blue tooth. No root or sixaxis app needed. I'm guessing that won't work here?
What about purchasing the usb connector kit for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that supposedly works with the Note 10.1. Get the connection kit plug in the usb controller into the usb port on the connection kit and see if it allows it to synch with bluetooth like you listed above. I would love to know if this works.
If you want to play Nintendo games I suggest the NES.emu emulator from the play store. It will discover wii motes in app and you can use them to play. Works very well with no root.

PS3 Sixaxis controller needs root and the app. You can always use an xbox controller wired or wireless (with dongle via usb and app) more work though. Or connect a bluetoothe keyboard or wired keyboard.
As for emulators I recomend that you get droidemu lite and support the developer and get the full support as this emulator has all worthy emulators in it except n64 and ps1. He is very responsive to issues and fixed issues in a timely manner.
I just tested with mine and I was able to connect a Wii Remote using WiimoteController in less than 5 minutes. I tried it for a few minutes in GTA3, no problems so far.
Can confirm Sony PS3 wireless bluetooth controller works with SixAxis but requires root. Aside from the convenience of wireless controller it also extends the life of your port connector from wear and tear.
I was looking for an app that would emulate an XBOX 360 Controller on android and make it work via wifi to my PC.
It's like this apps of Mouse/Keyboard remote, so I could play away from PC, like laying on the bed. Is there an app like that?
Hello,
I never seen that kind of app.
How could an android (phone?) device replace a gamepad?
Or so, how could you use it?
To have an idea, test a snes emulator and you'll see that's not realy playable without true buttons/cross/sticks...
I would buy a wireless gamepad for computer or use a PS3 controller with a BT dongle.

The same way there's a WiFi Mouse & Keyboard app could be one WiFi Controller app.
I agree it's not as comfortable as a real gamepad but you get used to it. I have no problems playing games on ePSXe for example.

Ok, for me it's unplayable... Wish you will find
So I'm sure this question has been asked and answered but I'd like to use a PS3 controller (or possibly another Bluetooth controller) on my Shield but I'm not sure how. I wanna be able to sit on the couch and play emulators without looking at one screen in my face and be able to play games multiplayer. Help would me much appreciated. I'm semi-new to Android. Before owning the shield I had a phone for a bit last year but couldn't get a controller to work on that either.
I also would like to try that.
with ipega or moga controller.
Don't know about the PS3 controller, but I use the OnLive BY controller and use the HDMI port on SHIELD to my TV...

Yes, works great.
You can use also a Xbox controller with a USB receiver.
If you want to use the PS3 controller you have to root your shield and use the famous sixaxis app from google play. To use the Xbox controller you don't need to root, because you're actually connecting the receiver to the USB in the shield.
Now that I tried both I prefer PS3 controller, because involves less cables and with the sixaxis app you can map buttons and change a lot of things.

Hi, does anyone knows how to make this controller work with the Galaxy S6?
When plugged in nothing happens. Tried pairing couple of times. Still nothing.
Tested the same setup on my GS5 and it connected right away...
I swear I thought I saw a vid before buying my S6 about how to pair a 360 controller to the S6, but after doing much searching I must have been mistaken :/. Really bummed that the S6 can't just straight up pair a controller with an OTG....my S3 did back then with no effort or root whatsoever -_-
Same here my logitech gamepad f310 also not working in otg but working in lg g2 flawlessly .
Having the same problem. Really frustrated after testing with 2 PS3 pads and one xbox 360 pad, all over OTG - no response at all from my S6. Tried 4 OTG cables now...
Doesn't work for me either, but works perfect with my nexus 5 and nexus 7. Did anybody manage to make it work on the s6?
Has anyone found a solution to this? How can it be recognised perfectly on all my other android devices but not my s6??
Solved on s6 active!
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. I have the modified apk file for anyone who wants it, or you can diy with my instructions above.

PM a link to download the modified apk please. I'll use it with my ps3 controller for the same game
The sixaxis app requires root.
Here's the youtube link to my tutorial.
