[Q] Gamepad IME app, possible to adapt to adam?

Original Post:
Alright, I've been lurking forever for Windows Mobile stuff, but I just got an Adam.
I was trying to figure out if there was anyway to use a USB gamepad with the adam, and found an app named "Gamepad IME"
Apparently it works with pretty much every program I want it for. However, as the Adam has no market access, I can't find it anywhere. I don't have an android phone, so I can't rip the APK that way, and I can't find the APK anywhere on the net.
If anyone can get the APK for that app and post it here, that'd be fantastic.
First result for it when googling is the androlib page for it.
Update 2/2/11:
Ok, So I picked up one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826179017
Which is a HID compliant gamepad. It's still not detected, I'm wondering if there's a compatability issue with the adam and the GamePad IME
Sven, the developer, has the source code up on his website: http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
Any intrepid coders care to look at it and see if there's any way to get it to function with the adam?

Here you go. I hope this will work, good luck!

You are fantastic. Thank you greatly.
Sadly, it seems that my USB gamepad(Which is just a PS3 usb adapter) doesn't function. I'll see if I can dig up any other USB gamepads that show up as general gamepads without drivers, and see if they work.

Anyone test the below
Xbox 360 usb controller
Wii controller via bluetooth
Ps3 controller via bluetooth
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Tested PS3 controller via bluetooth, doesn't get detected when attempting to pair.
It seems the PS3 only enables pairing mode via usb through supported devices.
I don't own either of the others to test with, sadly.

I've tried a random PC gamepad and the xbox 360 usb controller but no luck here.

I wonder what it would take to get the 360 controller detected via usb.. would we need to compile drivers from windows or how would that work?

Love to see the Wireless 360 adapter for wireless 360 controllers.
Or even a PS3 controller via bluetooth should be achievable given the right devs who can look at the Windows Mobile app. I think it pairs via usb too.

What was that gamepad ime apk originally designed for? I can test the xbox 360 controller when I get back home with that gamepad apk.
sent from gv1.5 on g2

It was originally designed for the Nexus S, but I don't know what controllers it was designed for.

Xbox controller?

I've been reading that the new Transformer Prime supports Xbox controllers. I'm rooted with Overcome 2.something and want to know if I have this ability already. I also read that people have been using a USB dongle that Microsoft sells but I'd like something that is already built in to work. I also have a PS3 controller if that'll work, although I prefer the Xbox controller.
HDMI out and an Xbox controller = big screen NES!!!

since the xbox wireless controller uses a custom wireless protocoll, you can't use it without the dongle. You can use a wired xbox controller though.
I also prefer the xbox controller, but the PS3 controller is better suited for this. Since the PS3 controller uses bluetooth, you can buy a app on the market called "Sixaxis Controller", which allows you to use a PS3 controller over bluetooth with the tab. It's really awesome
EDIT: I also fine the PS3 controller better suited for emulation, because the dpad is in a better position for this.

is there anyway to do this without root? i read somewhere in 3.2 reenabled controller support for 10.1 i have a stock tablet and don't want to root unless i really really need to.

So, just to check, will the Xbox wireless receiver USB dongle work with the tab?

Wondering the same thing. I tried to connect the dongle to my Tab but my controller wouldn't connect to it (just flashed the green light, searching but no connection it seemed).
Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller work if you connect the dongle to the Tab (or without it for all I care, just want it to work )

I just bought the 30 pin to USB and so far haven't been able to get a wired 360 controller to work but I am running stock so that might be the problem... If I were to root and get like 3.2 or something would this work?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...oller-support-on-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1/
I just did this, although I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they show up as when connected though? Going to test it right now
Edit: Blah, the only wired 360 controller I have is a third party one, it showed up but I'm not sure how to use it. I tried the "USB/BT joystick center" app and it wanted me to make a driver by selecting bits of input data directly .

Re: Big NES if XBOX controller works.
Pick up a WII controller - cheaper and closer to the old school NES experience )

Bluetooth Dualshock 3 PS3 controller?

Anyone try and connect a DS3 to the G3? Just checking before I go through the hassle of the setup itself, it was a massive pain in the butt on my M7 and I want to play emulators on the go and be able to actually play mobile games comfortably on this beautiful screen.

Bump.

Just get sixaxis controller from the playstore

We're asking if it works and connects properly...not every phone is compatible with it. HTC devices are a huge pain in the ass for instance.

Yes it does work with it on Bluetooth if you are rooted. here is the link for the GameKlip™ - Universal CaseMount http://buy.thegameklip.com/products/gameklip-casemount. As long as you have a case to mount too it.

Guys i have a G3 and i tried to hook a ps3 controller to it but either the phone or the controller wont read eachother cause it never lights up with an OTG cable ive tried 2 different controllers and still the same result and yes my G3 is rooted cause i knew i may need root but it never reads the controller please help

[Q] Gamepad, game controller

Anyone tried to setup a controller on the tablet? I just purchased a moga power pro controller but I wa unable to set it up. It is workig fine with my S4 and the bluetooth works on the tablet becase I managed to connect the phone to the tablet via bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to setup the controller or becase it is a 3rd party device the access blocked?

Are you just trying to connect via bluetooth? I haven't done this in a long time (way back on my Xoom) but I thought you needed a 3rd party app and Root access to link them.
Someone confirm? Would love to play Soulcraft II - with a gamepad.

Moga has an app can be downloaded from the play store (moga pivot) and yes it uses bluetooth. This should work without root. If you google moga is a big name which should work on android 2.3 and above. I think the reason is samsung which is now blocking all 3rd part devices from 4.4.2 but I am not sure. I think the only option left is the samsung gamepad..

Not for $100 bucks. That's plain crazy

I use an OTG cable and PS4 controller.

It just supports it. Yes I have rooted but I have 3 Tab Pros as well that are not rooted and it works just fine on them as well. It also worked on my Tab S before I rooted. OTG is always supported on android devices.

Did you have to download any apps for button management?

I use my ps3 controller as gamepad with an adapter and it's working flawlessly. I've tested it with Dead Trigger 2 and Rayman Fiesta Run.

If anyone gets a wired xbox controller to work, please let us know what you did. I was totally just hoping it was going to work and it doesn't. (at least for me). I just get a blinking light on the xbox controller. I have the 10.5.
I even rooted and installed USB/BT JoystickCenter Gold Demo but then that gets a 'can not get access to /dev/uinput error'

Thanks so much for suggesting something but I'm too anxious to try it, since that thread says it's only for the SM-T700 (8.4") and I have the 10.5". He even specifically states it in post #3.

Has anyone been able to get the sixaxis app working? I can't... I believe it has to do with a missing Samsung Bluetooth protocol in newer Samsung devices.
That was one of my main reasons for getting a tablet!

Not that it matters but I emailed Samsung support and their response: Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that you would like to know whether Galaxy Tab S supports hooking up to a wired xbox USB controller. I do understand your concern and requirement. However, this Tablet does not support wired xbox USB controller. Unfortunately, as of now theere are no compatible controllers that use an USB OTG cable for this model from Samsung and Samsung does not have any tested results on using PS3 controller with the Tablet. I hope the above provided information address your concern.

controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet? so the tablet is not drained while playing games.
(i asked this in the accessories forum too, apologies)

I use PS3 Controller wireless using Sixaxis Controller app.. For the first time setup need otg, but after pairing no need the otg . Can use wireless.

Thanks for the info! I just ordered an otg cable. Are you able to get two controllers working with the six axis app, or just one? My goal is to be able to use emulators with two Wireless PS3 controllers. Thanks!

I tried that, but the Galaxy Tab won't find the controllers. I've set it up on multiple devices, but couldn't get it working on this one.
I read that the newer Samsung devices don't come with a Bluetooth protocol that is required for sixaxis to work... I hope I'm wrong!

[Q] Dualshock 3 USB-support.

I can't seem to get the Dual shock 3 (PS3 controller) to work wired with my device. It works without problems on my brother's Nexus 5. Wirelessly using the sixaxis controller app it works without problems, but through an OTG cable it doesn't. Is the device not supported? Is there any known way to add support to a ROM?
Cheers

Why not using the gamepad with Bluetooth...if it works use it with that instead of breaking your head because wired it doesn't work

The only reason I can think of is the idea it would use less battery but I don't see that being true.

Because I want to use it with gamestream and since Bluetooth and WiFi uses the same antenna it interferes and gives me lag.

Normally both shouldn't be a problem together....do you tried if your pad is connected to start the service in sixaxis app? It worked always for me doesn't matter if I used my old one x or the m8

No you can use the app without Bluetooth ... You can use it even if you connected the ps3 controller wired ...Normally it should work ... Also if it's connected wired look in keyboard settings if the pad is mentioned there.
And in sixaxis app you also need to enable the option that the pad like the native gamepad

Are you sure? The Sixaxis controller app is made to be used with bluetooth. Normally Android devices supports ps3 controllers wired natively. I'm still having troubles understanding your suggestion.
I start the app and connect USB, no luck.

If you go into the settings inside the sixaxis app you can enable that the pad will be saw by system as native gamepad...try that also ...if not it could be that your otg cable doesn't work good with the gamepad...mine works really fine without problems ...only some games aren't able to be played with this controller

That's strange because M8 supports X360 controller natively

That option only makes it look like a gamepad to the system when it's connected through bluetooth. Does it work for you? What ROM and kernel are you using?

Using renovate 4.0.1 so latest Rom and stock kernel as flar's kernel is not updated yet ... It always worked for me on every Rom or kernel and also on hox it always worked... Hm
Edit: like I said it could be the OTG cable too...often it doesn't work with some...try to get another one

I just flashed flar's kernel. The controller now works. I haven't ran into any problems either even though it isn't updated.

Yea if could be that on stock kernel some OTG features aren't working like on custom kernels were many things are added or tweaked..but orbits working now then good

The dualshock 4 controller works natively on the m8 wired.
You can use it scroll through the screens and select apps. Not all games work, minecraft being one, but a lot do.
The buttons can be a bit odd though. For example in goat simulator, the options button is headbutt. Quite frustrating.
Does anybody know if there is there anyway of remapping the buttons?
