Latest Generation console controllers, GS4 functionality, and you. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

***In case anyone was wondering this was formerly a question on asking if sixaxis/wii controllers would sync. Indeed they will. Since then I've turned this thread into a one stop shop on confirmation that console controllers will run on your GS4.***
So has anyone tried sixaxis and/or wii remote syncing to their S4? Even with root, the bluetooth keeps failing.. figured Sammy would've fixed this.
EDIT, 5/22/2013: Indeed, Sixaxis DOES work on the GS4 (and possibly Android 4.2.2 as a whole?), you'll just need the actual sixaxis app and a USB OTG cable.
EDIT, 5/28/2013: No ETA on Wii Remotes unless you're willing to install Cyanogen Mod or something (assuming they put the support back into 4.2.2 Android). However, it IS possible to get a wired XBox 360 pad to work with just a USB OTG cable, even on stock non-rooted firmware.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F-zMsVbuuA -- my video on getting sixaxis to work on the stock M919UVUAMDL firmware (there's also a quick otter box review FYI)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0g5NvtwXFs -- a video made by aLdaRiS demonstrating sixaxis functionality on the Wicked v2 custom firmware (which I believe is based off M919UVUAMDL)

Alrighty, sorry about that...

So I guess no one else got either of these to work on their S4s either.. bummer.
Guess the only thing I could do is wait for a version of Cyanogen Mod or something to come to the S4 and hope for the best.. (and yes I'm aware that they're working on CM and nightlies are out, personally I'd rather wait for a good, official, stable release before taking the plunge. also I know not to ask for ETAs or when it's out, etc)

so far no.. I tried the sixaxis app as well and it didn't work for me... we r just playing the waiting game... idk abt the wiimote tho... I tried a moga controller and it worked fine.... I might get a moga pro...

Yeah, unless he's running CM (or perhaps he put the code back into the BT stack somehow), it didn't work for me.. OTOH would using a USB OTG cable matter?
Oh yeah, and I made a video review on the moga pro, I just didn't post it here since I didn't know if it should go into Android accessories since it works with pretty much any gingerbread or higher device or do it in this thread, or...

Stock firmware on Android 4.2.x anything doesn't have the BT bits to get sixaxis or Wii Remotes to work.. doesn't matter if it's this GS4, the note 2 (when it's upgraded of course), HTC one, Nexus 7 (and that's as stock of Android as it gets, mind you), etc

Oh, so you basically used a USB OTG cable... I wish I woulda known this sooner, I would've been able to save $50 and not get that moga controller lol... (and save a lot of u-tube ranting space and saving space on this forum as well ) Oh well I got such a cable coming from amazoon along with the otter box, should be here tomorrow...
and all else fails, thanks for a good ROM recommendation till cyanogen mod gets a good version up

PS3 Controller Now WORKS

Before you had to be on AOSP (CM7/MIUI) to use a PS3 Controller as a gamepad on the SGS2, but now you can do it on Samsung Firmware. Download this app called Sixaxis Controller ($1.76) and then follow these instructions.
Does it double as a mouse also ? While not in game that is.. ?
I already posted about this in the accessories forum - I have a much better guide than the one at the official site here

[Q] Is this Fine If I make a CM9 ROM?

Right I've been Disscusing with ChaisFirzen About porting his ARC CM9 Build to the PLAY which I've done But can I post it?
In android Development
Depends if this is a port or a one-line change in the build.prop, like the recent 'ports' we've had
Porting Chaos's ICS ROM he asked me to do Yesterday Because he needed help in his thread, Atarii is there a CM9 Wi-fi Fix?

Yes, depends on the issue. It could be the build.prop persist.wifienabled=1 or it could be that you need to add the correct wifi modules for the kernel you're using
Atarii I have Build.prop as wifienabled=blank
Theres No wifi Modules for FXP'S kernel or is there?
Thanks For the help.
The problem is, "ChaisFirzen" (ChaosFirZen) has been caught out posting up other people's work, making extremely minor changes, and then calling it his own. When he was called out on it, he pretends to be remorseful, but then tries it another way. He is more of a copycat than a dev. He claims to be just this innocent little 12 year old that doesn't know any better, but how many times does someone have to be told this is wrong before that excuse comes up bogus?
If I were you, I would steer clear of him before you get some of his "reputation" smeared all over you.
I'm with netizenmt on this one, you pair up with him and NOBODY on the play threads will take you serious. I got his thread shut down last time and he was reported for stealing. Watch who you pair with, that's all I'll say.

Meh I'd hope if you're an xda frequenter you could have figured this out on your own, not sure it merits a walkthrough eh. BUT I want a MHL adapter with the option of still using the USB to go functionality of the phone. I've heard of this being their plans in the future.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I thought about all this back when the EVO 4G and Droid X came out with the built in MicroHDMI ports. Of course, back then neither device supported USB OTG, and I don't think they had great support for USB HID devices, but I'm not 100% sure. All I know is that it's taken too long for these companies to list this PC-like setup as a major feature over the iPhone, or even in general. Granted it's not practical for everyone, but for us geeks, it's certainly a viable option for an instant-on, extremely productive, lightweight, portable PC setup.
Imagine if they could set up internet cafes or or PC labs were you could just bring your compatible Android phone, and hook it up to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and be productive right away. For students who just need to type up a paper, browse the internet, print something, etc etc., this could be a great low cost option for both the student and the university/college/other institution. Of course it might come with tech support nightmares, but it would still be a great idea in theory.

That would require carrying around a separate device which wouldn't be useful to you outside of this setup. Most people always have their phones and most people's (high end) phones have better CPU's and GPU's than a lot of the Android-on-a-stick devices.
This is pretty cool.

AT&T ROMs work on T-Mobile phones

I flashed this AT&T ROM, and it works. You just need the T-Mobile modem. If you want to use JellyBean "gap," just look for and install it. My Internet is too slow; it doesn't let me search for it to include the link. Sorry guys. Just letting you know that AT&T ROMs work on our phone. Be safe and back up first.​
Now, as far as this post goes, I'm not sure why it was posted in the first place, seeing as the same ROM is available natively on the T889.

2. Thank you for that.
3. Is this really the case? I thought I read that several of the Roms for the AT&T note were not compatible with the T889.

Well actually to be fair, the OP posted this before that ROM was available in the T889 forums (and it's actually not native for the T889, it's the same exact rom that was first posted in the AT&T section and it's from an AT&T build)

There is no information at all how to actually , make any dac work with S3, if my nexus can use it then why not my S3? I'on jellybean , all it says is shot like s3 > otg > headphones > dac which makes no sense.. I just plug it in my nexus and it works if I reboot the nexus 7, I can't get the dac to work the s3, but the other cable works with connecting my camera or a flash drive. Wtf do you mean help myself?
Did you even bother to read the second link for the sgs3, that link he gave you was to a page listing devices compatibility with dac, and the second link under sgs3 is to a forum that had your answer. I breezed thought it for about a minute and found the answer you were looking for. Maybe instead of lashing out at Eddie, you can thank him for pointing you in the right direction.

Yep, it is THE premier USB-DAC and Android OS thread on the entire Internets.
If the answer isn't in that thread (i'm not going to research it for you), then the people you need to ask questions are at least part of the thread.
Just join the forum and ask questions AFTER reading at least a few pages of material so you can at least educate yourself enough to ask the correct questions. :highfive:
