Hello, i'd like to know how you can configure a 360 controller to use it on the galaxy nexus. I have a micro usb to usb host plug but the controller isn't recognized by the system by default which surprises me since google announced the compatibility since honeycomb.
thanks for your help
It works for me, however it is useless because the buttons are not mapped in a useful manner for anything lol
well maybe there could be an app to configure it somewhere, i'm gonna search and come back there if I find something.
thanks again

I use USB/bt joystick center. Works great but a little pricey.

I just wish it'd have game support.....controlling a serious game like Modern Combat 3 sucks using the touch screen.....

I checked the relevant threads but found nothing like it (i found similar threads but nothing too applicable)
Basically i have ICS on the HP Touchpad (bear with me) I also have an Xperia Play (using the Sony ICS beta) and i recently bought the sixaxis controller app from dancing pixel studios, i don't have a PS3 i bought it based on this idea:
Using the Sixaxis Pair Tool is there anyway we could tweak a driver to allow it to ostensibly pair via USB with the Xperia Play and make it think it is a PS3 controller? the purpose behind this would be to play games like Modern Combat 3, Dead Space, GTA III and others via bluetooth on the HP Touchpad (and other android tablets) using the Xperia Play as the controller?

I think this is not possible because this is hardware but part of the phone its not a PS/2 PC Controller so no But Only if someone made a complete Custom ROM for this. Then maybbe yes

Thanks guys, going to keep chipping away at this, im not a developer im still learning programming languages part time but ill see what i can dig up, recently found "PS3 pairing tool" on the market which offers some hope just need to get a usb lead to connect micro usb - micro usb which im going looking for tomorrow so will update with any progress.

Don't waste your money on that tool, it won't help you. The Sixaxis controller app does exactly the same thing anyway.
The only way you could make this work (if at all) would be write an app for the Xperia Play that creates a bluetooth connection with the tablet and mimics how a PS3 controller would connect. This is a fairly advanced programming topic, and as a beginner, you would probably struggle with it.

This sounds very similar to what you want to accomplish, but I don't know if it has Xperia Play/gamepad support:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...r-android-as-a-bluetooth-gamepad-for-another/
It sounds like the Ad-Free version might work:
Unlocking BT Controller gives you access to build, edit and download new controllers. You can also assign any key to each button and remove ads.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like the app I mentioned above requires the app to support it, so it may not work with the games you listed... it says it works with many emulators, which support it, but I'm beginning to doubt it would work with the games you mentioned... >_> Maybe worth a try though...

Let me me know how it goes.
I also just dug up this project:
http://code.google.com/p/androhid/
It's a Bluetooth HID client implementation that allows your phone to act as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse. I believe Gamepads are also HID devices, so it might not be too hard to take that and add Xperia Play support to expose the gamepad as a Bluetooth HID gamepad.
EDIT: Or nevermind... that only allows your phone to act as a Bluetooth keyboard, not mouse... and thus not gamepad, but still may be a good starting point...
Looks like the poor guy had to tackle a few nasty implementation challenges on Android:

Your app (sixaxis) is cool for if you want to use a ps3 pad with tab or something. but he want's to use his play which he could just use Droid-mote to do.
What would be more interesting is to use an app like sixaxis to enable the xperia play pad to be mapped to your touch profile set up. then us xperia play users could play any android game with are control pad not just optimized one's.

Fowl language? He was just saying that because your post started with "I think it's not possible..." and ended with "...so maybe yes", making it an awfully relatively long answer. But if it makes you feel any better, I don't find your post utter crap
BTW and off topic, I don't get why all kids, teenagers, and generally young people write like "What? That is Not Possible.. How Can That be??" (Yes, I'm talking about the Camel Caps, not about the actual post content).

Droidmote seemed the most likely candidate for this, unfortunately when trying to start the server i get "CRC32 check failed" i have stopped the app and cleared data (as suggested by others on the market) to no avail, i have contacted the developer to see if i can get this sorted.
EDIT: ok i managed to get this working by uninstalling the server, updating busybox and superuser and reinstalling it, its a great little app for controlling as a mouse, i havent quite figured out its controller setting yet but it looks promising, however it does seem to not respond to the xperia plays gamepad at all it instead uses the buttons to control the onscreen menus, but it's progress

with DroidMote installed on your Xperia Play you can use your phisical buttons to control a tablet, for the analog parts you have two virtual stick onscreen. you can use this to remote control all games that support gamepad on your tablet.
with the onscreen touchpad, now you can also have a remote multitouch touchpad like the apple magic trackpad if you hace ics on your tablet.

I tried this with my xperia play and ICS tablet, i installed GTA III on the tablet but the most i can do is walkaround using the analog stick in droidmote, the x/b/a/y etc.. buttons do nothing and the physical buttons don't respond at all.

I'm searching for a way to connect my glide to my note 10.1 so it can be easier to type without the need to buy another physical bluetooth keyboard. All suggestions welcome .
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
There was one that allowed the glide to be used as a bluetooth keyboard but unfortunately I tried it and did not work very well. It was called blue something (don't recall name exactly). Maybe it got fixed was about a year a go I tried it.

Was it a blue icon? Cos i tried out the tablet remote, and it connected easily. The problem was when I opened the keyboard and tried using special characters (/ : it just got stuck there. I heard an2an works but I haven't tried it yet.

If you have root, try LANmote.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote
You should be able to type any characters (unicode) using LANmote.
If any special characters you type doesn't work, let me know what you did and we will fix it.
Last time I tried Droidmote, it didn't support unicode..
Sorry for the late response, I have been busy lately. Droidmote didn't work well with this phone, and neither did LANmote. But LANmote has nice features. The button mapping for the physical keyboard to my tablet is off, and has a small lag to it when typing fast. Using the buttons to move about the tablet only brings up the search bar, and pressing other buttons inputs character. Using the mouse moves the cursor, but when I click on an application, it doesn't open. I do like LANmote however. It has a simple setup feature which is easy to use.

You can always change the keyboard input mode to "Send text manually", so you type all your words first and then press enter before entire string of text are sent across to the device running LANmote.

This is obviously keymapping issue. Yes, the mouse click is also related to key mapping.
I suppose you have root on your device, right?
If you can provide logs, we might be able to see why keypresses didn't work the way it should.
As far as I know, LANmote works fine and keypresses works without issue on my Galaxy Nexus.
Does Droidmote have the same keypress issue on your Android device?
because both app use similar method, if Droidmote also have same keypress problem... the issue is likely to be with your device's OS rather than the app itself.

Using the OUYA's default keyboard with the touchpad is an aweful pain. I was wondering if there is a keyboard out there that plays well with the controller (D-Pad especially). I was able to install Google's Keyboard but it is not really better than the default one. Anyone found an alternative ?
Blue Board
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Ditto for blueboard.
is that the only one that works well for it or possibly the only one that works at current? swift keyboard?
Blue Board is an app that you put on your OUYA, and on your phone or tablet. Once you parent connect them, whatever you type on your phone or tablet pops up on your OUYA.
Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).
Thanks !
Thanks for blueboard. Anyone has another option that does not require to switch to a tablet or phone ?
You'll never find a good option while using the controller, your best bet is to use a phone like otheres have said, or bt keyboard I suppose.
I have a couple questions reguarding this though. Does blueboard also have touch pad function? I used droidmote on my mk802 and it was great, it had keyboard, mouse, directional, media controls, even a touch gamepad mode. Has anyone tried this on ouya yet?

Is there a Remote control/RDP/VNC/Whatever app that supports 1:1 S-pen to mouse movement?
I have tried many apps so far, but none of them supported hovering, just clicks (mouse was standing still until I clicked something).

doubt it... have you tried team viewer? cause they are the only ones who managed to perform a remote control into a Samsung phone from a pc and vice versa meaning they have intensively worked with touchwiz software libraries I guess so maybe they have s pen support !!

GoToMyPC seems to do just that. While hovering the S-Pen over my Note 3 it mirrored a mouse movement on my PC. It was a nice improvement, but not as great as I it could have been, since the resolution is way off and you still need to use movements to move the viewable area or be left with really tiny screen. And more importantly, GoToMyPC is extremely pricy to maintain - about 10$ a month... Really isn't worth it for me, but feel free to test it with the 30 days trial.
I'm also installing right now the VirtualTablet app. Remote controlling the PC isn't their main aim, but it does mention as a side feature of the program. It might prove to be helpful.
For everybody that is still looking for that: official RDP app from Microsoft does that job wonderfully. And if you are running AOSP based ROM, you can also hold S-pen button to right click.
