Is there any type of software i can use to make my samsung galaxy s5 a gamepad contro - General Questions and Answers

Hey i really apologise if i have posted this in the wrong place or if i am creating an annoying duplicate post but i beleive that i have done a massive amount of searching on google and these forums and all that comes up is "how to sync a xbox360 controller to an android" and its annoying but is there any app i can use to plug my phone into my xbox360 and use it as a game pad
If you need specs here they are (phone only)
Samsung galaxy s5 (qualcom)
Ram-2GB
[email protected] quad core
Also if it were possible would that app be able to read information sent from my ps3 controller to my phone?
I know it looks weird and rediculous..using a ps3 controller to control a app on my phone that acts as a xbox360 controller
If you guys could reply asap that would be great

Remote Controllers for Android ?

I was interested in getting a remote control specifically for gaming on my Nexus One. Anyone have any idea? i.e. bluetooth remotes/usb remotes etc....(I would like to have a usb conntected remote unless the bluetooth ver can use a Wiimote or a PS3 remote ...but any is acceptable)...
please advise me, I searched and I do not see anything mentioned except for a thread asking if the WiiMote can be used with only one response saying "+1"...
Any1 have any ideas/insight?
there is a app to get ps3 bluetooth controler working on windows phones what are the chances of this happening on Android?
There is an app to use a Wii controller for your Android phone. Search the market.

Yes I know but I was wondering about ps3 Bluetooth controler, I hijacked this thread after searching...
I think using a mixture of this.

(which you use to fool the Sixaxis into connecting to your phone)
with ??
will get it working.
the top part is only half the battle there needs to be something on the phone to undestand the HID input it will get from the Sixaxis.
so what we need is something like....
Wii Controller IME (Found on market and Appbrain.com)
but for Sixaxis.
the best source I have found for information about Sixaxis + Mobiles
is above and The sixaxis with the HD2 look it up on youtube. video is called "PS3 Sixaxis on HTC HD2 using Fpsece"
So with the best will in the world it is very very possible to achieve.
you just need someone who isn't in there 3rd week of Android ownership and only in there infancy of Android development like me.
PS sorry I haven't Linked to information outside of XDA it is due to a restriction on my User account as i'm new. but I think with google you should be able to find all the relevant pages I have mentioned.
PS3 Paired with Android
I am also very interested in this. Does anybody know how to use a PS3 controller to control an android device?
Any updates on this in the past few months?

[Q] Sixaxis Controller on my android

Im using a ps3 controller on my android sometimes and it pretty neat. (samsung galaxy nexus)
The only think i dont find enjoyable is that i have to change the input mapping every time i dont play games like shadowgun (they dont use stock mappings)
is there any way to say save a profile only for shadowgun?
Sorry if this Q has been asked before, but could not find it.

Game controller with Bluetooth for games Question

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.

[Q] Any way to emulate Nvidia shield / xbox / ps3 controller ?

Hello,
I have recently tried and succeeded to make Portal and Half Life 2 work on my OnePlus One (I can't tell how because it's illegal and against the rules of the forum I think, do your own research). The only problem is, I need the Nvidia Shield controller, or a ps3 / xbox / or any other android-supported controller, as there are no touch controls. My problem is that I don't have any controller of this type (except a Wiimote which doesn't work with Android kitkat). Here is my question : is there an app / overlay which can simulate a physical controller so I can play it without a physical controller ? I know it's quite hard, but I'm pretty desperate, as I can look at the beautiful menu screen, but am not able to control it. Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Cm doesn't support wiimote? I thought they did.
Wrote you a pm, but it's for using the controller, sorry.

Look into the sixaxis app. I know it supported ps3 / wii motes in the past. I wouldn't see it going away now.

Thanks for your answers. Maybe CM supports the Wiimote, but at least it seems that the Wiimote doesn't work with these games. I think they need a classic controller mapping.

Galaxy S3 mapping and Bluetooth Problems.

Hi XDA community,
Hi everyone,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300 running android 4.3. Now here are my problems.
#1. I successfully installed Tincore Keymapper and the PS SIXAXIS apps, and I can apply mapping profiles in both apps, and both apps register my controllers, but when I try to use them in a game, nothing happens. And I know my controllers are not broken (Works with Dead Triggers Controller setup).
#2. I saw videos on youtube where people easily connected a PS3 or PS4 controller directly with their non SONY phone, even an S3. My S3 can read my PS3/4 controllers (Via BlueTooth), but not pair with or use them. So, is there a way to fix that; maybe update the Bluetooth or it's driver?
I reeeally would like these things fixed on my phone, please help.
Got the exact same problem with the SIXAXIS CONTROLLER app,the controller registers wirelessely,I've created profile for the Shadow Fight 2 game but it simply won't work+when switching to the S8XAXIS CONTROLLER app,the profile is set to NONE while before starting the game was selected the game's profile.I've been troubling for days and can't find a solution anywhere in the web or youtube.. My phone is GS4 GT-i9505 Jellybean 4.3.
cheers.
