Wired Xbox 360 Controller Not Recognised - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey Folks,
As the title suggests - I did read somewhere that Samsung has removed support in some form or other but can't for the life of me recall where.
I have searched and unfortunately can't come across any answers - a few questions similar but no answers.
So what I'm trying to find out is - why the xbox 360 controller doesn't work with my brother's S7 (UK variant) & if there is a way to re-enable it. He is running a stock, rooted ROM (which one I'm not sure, but it's not been flashed over).
Cheers folks

[Q] samsung galaxy game controller questions

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

[Q] Galaxy S 4G ~ About Gingerbread/Mods & WiiMote Use

Hello, I'm fairly new to the Android OS (just got this GS4G last week, and it is my first android) so I'm pretty noobish to all of this and searching these forums and the web have only gotten me so far. I currently have a few questions that I did not find answered anywhere else (for this device at least).
I have the official 2.3.6 Gingerbread just released awhile back and realized that my TV out seemingly doesn't work (tried red, yellow, and white for video). I have no idea if it worked before I left Froyo but I'm just wondering is it supposed to work now (not really looking to troubleshoot this; I just want to know)?
Is there any Mods that allow the use of the Wii Controller? I know CyanogenMod is not released for the GS4G.
And, does the MIUI mod allow the use of a Wii Controller?
Thank You in advance.

[Q] Want to use old Motorola Xoom tablet for PS4 Remote Play. Where to start?

Hi all, I recently found my old Motorola Xoom and I figured it would be perfect for using the PS4 Remote Play Port. I also want to use the Dualshock 4 controller with it via OTG, so I need to root it. I looked around the Xoom part of the forums, but I really have no idea where to start. I can't look at any info on the tablet right now because I'm waiting for a charger for it to be delivered - all I know is that it's an original Xoom tablet that I sent in for the 4G upgrade. If anyone could point me in the right direction with some instruction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Did you ever figure this out? Dug out my old xoom looking to do the same thing but haven't got it working yet

[Completed] OTG cable w/ Windows 360 controller

Hey guys Hoping i might be able to get some insight on a minor issue i have,
I recently bought a few otg cables online and for the most part they work great aside from one thing, I have a Nextbook 8 running android 4.4.2 i DO have my android rooted and the otg cables works with usb jump drives/mouse and keyboard flawlessly, oh the other hand when i plug my Microsoft windows 360 controller up to it it does not register it. I tried on my friends cheap 99$ asus tablet and works right away thru menus and auto setup for alot of games he has. i tried a few different apps and even tried adding .kcm files into the keylayout folder under system/usr via rooted file explorer.
Pretty bummed out not being able to use my controller hopefully somebody has a solution for me and anybody else with the same issue
Thanks for your time!

XBox 360 Wired controller with USB OTG adapter

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
