Sixaxis controller

Hi,
I'm wondering if I'll be able to use the Sixaxis Controller app with the One S. Anyone know if this works?
It says it requires root access and even then it depends on the kernel. Is there a stock rom out there that has root?
Mine is supposed to be delivered today.
Thanks,
~Eric

Don't know about One S rooting, but try the compatibility test before buying.
I sent this from my Motorola Atrix on MOTOBLUR™.

I already bought it. Works like a charm on my G2 with CM7

I actually tried this recently. Bumping this older post to see if anyone has any experience with this on the boards, dying for help.
Ok, so step 1, installed compatibility checker, test confirmed compatibility
step 2, installed pair tool on pc and set master address of ps3 controller to local bt address on htc one s
step 3 ran sixaxis app, start, searching for devices...
pres ps button on controller, no worky, lol.
No flashing pair lights or anything. Only flashes all four lights when connected to usb to pc.
running cm10 nightly with stock cm10 kernel

Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard+Tf300T problem

Hello, so I recently installed cynaogenmod 10.1 on my device, and everything went smoothly. I bought a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard(it comes with a pocket-like leather piece/stand). However, I'm able to connect it and the tablet asks for a series of numbers, i input them and then it says connected! I go to any app or even try the home/back keys on the keyboard and nothing responds. The keyboard works because I tried it with the iPhone and my laptop to make sure. Batteries are brand new, is this a cynaogenmod problem? Also, at times when I'm trying to turn on the bluetooth it'll go on and then immediately off no matter what. I have to reboot and then it works again.
Thanks!

I believe this is a known issue with CM10.1.

Using DS4 wirelessly with Android

Hi all,
Not sure whether everyone knows this yet or not, but in one of the recent PS4 firmware updates it added a pairing function to the DS4 controller so it could be wirelessly paired with a Playstation 3 as well.. Turns it out also works with Android too (I've tested with my N7 2013 and N5, both running PAC rom 4.4.4) and it works straight away WITHOUT the need of a third-party app
- When the DS4 is off, press and hold the Share button and the PS Button and it enters pairing mode
- Search for bluetooth devices with your phone/tablet and it should come up straight away as Wireless Controller
Just thought i'd post this incase anyone didn't know about it and wanted to try it out on their device too and see if it works :good:

I'm trying to pair my DS4 and rooted (but otherwise stock) N5 but it doesn't seem to work. I put the DS4 in discoverable mode (Share + PS buttons) and"Wireless Controller" shows up in the list of available devices, but when I try to pair them it just sits there "Pairing..." forever. It's been at it for almost 10 minutes now and nothing's happening. I tried restarting the phone and waiting like 20 minutes for the controller to restart but I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Same Issue

I'm having exactly the same problem @Farlo1.
I did read somewhere that the early DS4s don't work using this method.
But those released after a certain date do.
I've got 2 DS4s but they're both from launch, so neither of them is working with this. The only way I've seen to use the DS4 is to invest in a cable, which I don't really want to do...
Let me know if you spot anything different!

Hey, I had my DS4 working flawlessly in my z3 compact, but since I have a GS5, the mapping is all screwy. I tried installing sixaxis and it just added a massive 1+ second lag, with only part of the button press registering, and then it goes all crazy and scrolls everywhere. This gets even worse in PPSSPP, where as soon as I touch the analogue stick it goes haywire... but it was flawless with my z3!
Anyone know anything about this?

doesn't work for playing
I connected everything and started ninjumb dash(game) but the controller(ps4)didn't turn the colour blue and it is not working
pls tell me what to do next

if u have ps4 ,remove socket of your ps4(otherwise when u press ps4 button it will turn on and automatically connect your controller)
and then press(ps4+share) to turn on Bluetooth(ds4)and search in Bluetooth and connect(wireless controller.

same problem

Hi my DS4 connect to my phone normally but it works little bit slow and I don't know why ?

I know this is a really old post. Never mind. I am able to connect DS4 to my Android phone (using share and PS button), and play games (such as Final Fantasy from the play store), however the buttons are not configured correctly (X is cancel, O is confirm!). Is there any app that will remap the buttons. I have used Sixaxis for the PS3 controller, but would prefer to use the DS4. However each time you switch to Android gaming and PS4 gaming you need to reconnect the controller to each device with OTG cable which is a pain . I have tried Tincore app, but cannot get it to work as don't know how it works!

I was surprised at how easy this was, but yes seems to have some input lag,
I found this on reddit
"Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone."
I haven't had a chance to try this yet but seems promising

Ds4 controller syncs fine to my LG Aristo but it doesn't actually control ****, any game that uses a controller does not see the Ds4. I can use my ds3 with the sixaxis app but I can't do a thing with this Ds4.

[Q] Shield controller does not work any more?

Hello all,
My shield controller worked great when using KitKat.
I had no need for it for a while - but wanted to use it today. Since I used it last time, I have updated my wifi Shield Tablet to 5.0.1 (rooted). Th Lolipop update included a factory reset - so my original controller pairing was lost.
So I tried to pair it again - but the pairing did not work (the unit and the controller both just blink - but they do not connect). The I tried to select "forget all controllers" in the controller setup - when I click "Forget" at the prompt, the controller app seems to be crashing, as I get a message saying that Shield Controller Stopped Working...
I tried everything (factory reset the controller, multiple restarts, wipe controller data via titanium backup etc.) but no luck.
The controller does not connect. The fact that the app crashes when I want to forget paired controllers suggests that this is a software issue. But what is the issue? And how do I fix it?
Any ideas would be very welcome...
Thank you all

I had a similar issue happen to me when I first got my controller. The key difference is that my blink-of-death came after a firmware update for the controller. I tried for a while to find answers on Nvidia's page, but the only solution was to get a new controller. Have you reached out to Nvidia support to see what they say? If it's too late to return the unit to wherever you purchased it, Nvidia might offer to replace it directly. My 2nd controller came and updated perfectly. On a side note, how did you perform a factory reset on the controller? I wasn't able to find any information on that.

I got the controller a while ago (not even sure from where) - and it is too late to return. I did not update the controller firmware. The controller worked fine with Kitkat
And the fact that the controller app (on the Shield) crashes when I want to forget all controllers suggests to me that this is a software issue on the tablet
But I may be wrong. Lets see if others have other suggestions - I will also contact Nvidia about this.
Thank you!
Ps factory reset is by holding the nvidia button on the controller for a long time - I think 30 seconds

Update - cleared the controller app cache again, restarted and now it works. Really weird. Not sure why. But it works - that's all that counts

Steam Controller

I've got a problem with my Honor. When Steam enabled BLE on the Steam Controller, it worked about a week with my phone. Since then, when I try to connect it, it isn't shown any more as mouse-input.
Running B405 on my FRD-L09 without root.

AFAIK, stock EMUI doesn't support mouse and keyboard input. Because the Steam Controller runs in lizard mode by default, it will only pair but phone won't connect to it. I tried connecting the controller with Xperia Z Tablet and it worked absolutely fine. You could try another ROM and see if it works out, but I don't think it will work with stock one.

I see your point, yet it seems confusing to me that, after i updated the Controller for the first time, it worked fine without any troubles. But neithertheless, thank you for your answer.
Despite that I won't switch to another rom, as I will run stock as long as it is supported.
When Honor oficially ends support, I will switch.
