hey all!
I just got my samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet and am relatively new to the android scene... ive got Calkulin's_GT-P7510_HMJ37.UEKM7_ROM (touchwiz ux) on my tablet so far...ive been reading about some roms that have xbox 360/ps3 controller support, and i have some questions
first off im big into the emulation thing, so im looking for a controller that has similar button layouts to the ps3/xbox controllers just because they would work best with all the emulators...here come the grey parts...so far im not sure the best way to get a decent working controller for emulation...i know u can usb or bluetooth. does anyone know if that actually works? which is best bluetooth or usb? (with usb i know i would need to buy the samsung usb adapter but does that actually work with a usb controller?) if not what would be the best solution for a ps2 style gamepad (or ps3/xbox360). i dont mean to drone on but i am just trying to find a controller that doesnt suck for emulation purposes...any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
mods please delete this thread, as i posted this in the Q&A threads for the samsung galaxy tab in which this question is related to...thanks and sorry for the double post/inconvenience
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.
Hey Guys,
I just wanted to know if it is possible to play games on the Nexus 5 using an USB-Controller using an adapter and so on.
So a really simple setup. Does USB-OTG work on the Nexus 5 and is there any Controller you would recommend?
Also, does a simple USB-OTG Cable work or is there any external power needed?
Thanks in advance and sorry if there is already an thread like this.
Kind Regards

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?
