Greetings,
I have an old DS4 controller and i used it to play on android before (on an old moto g device) but it seems i cant use it properly on a moto g5 plus device.
I can pair the controller and it seems it does recognize it as an input device, but i cant use it to navigate the android menus (i could in the older device) and i also cant use it with any emulators like ppsspp nor epsxe.
Is there any suggestion on how to get this controller to work? I am trying to avoid root solutions but if there is no other option i might give it a try; Also, if there is any tool to troubleshoot the usb connection with the controller i might be able to get more information about what is going on since it does connect.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos

I've searched all the forums, as well as the web, and followed every bit of advice and / or instructions I could find on the issue, but no matter what I attempt to do I can't get any games to work with the xbox 360 controller. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the skyrocket via an OTC cable?
More Details:
When I first plugged it in, the device seemed to recognize the controller (the lights on the controller would start flashing, the phone would give a message saying that a usb device is connected - but no games (I used emulators as well as games that are supposed to specifically support playing with an xbox controller, like GTA 3) were able to recognize or use the controller. Since then I've downloaded and installed a few different files on my phone to try to get the controller to work (.kl and .kcm files) as well as the app USB/BT Joystick Center 6 (which recognizes the controller and seems to work when I'm setting it up, but games are still unable to recognize the controller). I'm completely out of ideas of what to do or what the problem could be, so if anyone's had success with this or has an idea how this could be done, that would be fantastic. Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry for broken English, I can connect the Xbox controller trough USB and play game and navigate in the home screen with not problem , but when I try to connect the ps3 controller the phone didn't detect it at all, on my Android tablet I just plug and play even for Bluetooth. I Try USB debugging but doesn't work.
Do you have any solution ?
Thanks for help and have a good day
Someone who knows better may correct me, but this is something that needs to be supported by the kernel. So maybe a custom kernel will allow this in the future. Or possibly Motorola could release an update.
There is an app on the play store called Sixaxis Controller that might help.
yea i know but i need to pay .... thank you anyway
i have a question about ps3 controllers and my moto g. i am so sorry i know that the info is already provided in this forum but i have NO idea and info about rooting since there's too much info on what to do/what not to do, and information is scattered everywhere. all i see are gibberish. I am so overwhelmed and at a loss.
1. i have this after glow ps3 controller(only usb no wireless bluetooth pairing for ps3) and i used it with my otg cable on my moto G and it works. my ps3 controller doesnt but it worked on my nexus 7(now dead). is ps3 not supported by default or do i have to root it to use it?
2. If i root it just for sixaxis, will i lose my warranty? will i still be able to get the latest on the air updates automatically?
i want to use the controller for apps like fpse and stuff.
already tried USB BT Joycenter but that wasnt working, the controller was connecting and showing as First player but there was no input and i cant get any updated version of the app cause i cant find it on the appstore.
the other thing i tried was editing the controller layout files, but they werent even on the tablet.
is there anything else i can do to get this to work?
I tried to connect my xbox 360 wireless controller via dongle aswell. it kinda connects but i am not really sure. the moment i let the dongle and the controller search for each other they seem to find each other straight away, but the led ring just keeps blinking and wont find a channel so to speak.
i followed sleeplessninjas guide and copied over the vendor_45e_product_0291/0719.kl and kcm but it didnt change the controller problem.
the controller is not recognized by any app i tried nor does the system itself show any response to the controller input.
i can connect a mouse or a usb flashdrive without a problem plug n play out of the box. but the controller wont get recognized.
i read on a shop review that the problem would be that the lenovo tab2 a10 doesnt have driver for the controller shipped with it.
my question would be: would cooking up my own android rom help and would i even be able to make it work on the device, i keep reading about lenovo devices being *****y about bootloader and such.
and then again cooking up ones own android is kinda of a longshot for an android beginner like me. need to read more. propably doable but are there even drivers available for the device fitting the system?
would appreciate someone shedding a bit of light in all the confusion cheers
I have just put LineageOS (both 13 and 14) on the tablet and realized that both doesn't support the Shield Controller. Bluetooth was kinda flaky too so I couldnt connect a PS4 controller either. I am talking about the original Shield and Controller. Not the updated Battery tablet. But anyway I would still like to play my games with the tablet and a controller So I have looked for a 5.1.1 Rom with the hopes of Controller Support, but I have been unable to find any Lollipop Roms that the links are still valid to mess around with. So that is my question. What it the best ROM that will allow controller support (if any) of some kind and still protect me from the Tablet being deactivated.
Thanks for any help
Just a follow up to the original question. I couldn't connect the PS4 controller to the tablet by bluetooth. It showed up originally when I first turned on bluetooth but I could never connect. Now Bluetooth is going crazy and not finding anything. So I figured there were some Bluetooth bugs that still had to be worked out.
