Hello there and sorry if this has been asked before (tried a search, didn't find anything)
I just got my Fire TV 2nd Gen (4K) and tried connecting a PS3 controller using Sixaxis app. But it won't work! I have rooted the FIre TV 2nd Gen using the known method and granting access to sixaxis. But the Fire TV Remote is still working after enabling sixaxis server and no PS3 controller is connecting to the Bluetooth MAC displayed on the bottom.
Am I the only one with this problem? Anyone already figured out a solution?
Thanks in advance!
Same here...
Ditto
I was able to install Sixaxis Controller apk and hacked around to get settings menu for IME on AFTV2. I used Sixaxis Pair Tool to write local bluetooth MAC to controller. I am seeing the same thing... it wont pair. I tried it on my phone which is running 4.3 JB and everything worked great with the same tools. It's literally the last step that fails on AFTV2. I havent been able to see anything in the logs, either. :crying:
Anybody tried a WiiMote? I couldnt get that one working on my phone so I gave up even trying on the AFTV2.
I also have this problem...
I recently got a Fire TV 2 and I wanted to play with some emulators using my PS3 controllers.
I rooted my Fire TV 2, installed Sixaxis Controller APK, updated the master bluetooth address on the controller using the Sixaxis Pair Tool for Windows, but still no dice.
I also noticed that the Fire TV remote still works while the Sixaxis app is listening for controllers.
I will try messing around with the app some more. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on this problem.

Ive not tried myself but have you tried seeing if it works with the wire plugged straight into the usb? The sixaxis app dont work on here maybe you could email the developer? i use a wired xbox 360 controller & that works great with Mame, SNES 9x Ex +, & ePSXe for Android.
Check my compatible apps & accessories thread below for a work around device-

Sorry mate like I said before it's just not possible, there are a lot of compatible controllers (some cheap alternatives) that do work though, check out my thread In the post above yours.

I have a soution to this problem which I can confirm works. It involves installing sixaxis on your android phone along with droidmote client, and installing droidmote server on firetv... although you need to installing google olay services/account manager because droidmote server is a paid google play apk and needs these for license check. I followed these guides. (This is assuming you have droidmote bought on google play) here is video i watched to installing google play (for license verification)

And here is the video i watched to get sixaxis work around.

The firetv tv 2 remote still works while listening for controllers as its wifi, it was changed from bluetooth with firetv 1

Although this is not a fix more a workaround to use ps3 pad with firetv tv.
The first video contains & tells you to download a 3rd party Android market which can be used to download wares (android paid apps for free!) From a certain website, this type of thing Isn't allowed on xda & you will get you self into trouble posting It here. I think you should just wright the guide & make your own video If you want to keep it here or not Have your account banned @sconnyuk
Gave up on the PS3 controller for my 2nd gen Ftv and having a phone or tablet on to droidmote it all the time is a battery ball ache.
Grabbed this Giotech vx2 PS3 controller from Argos for £12.99 and works a treat!
Tesco have them as well if your in the UK

I had no idea of the links to warez, as i already bought these apps and use them on my phone. The video guides where how to setup the programs on firetv and android mobile device to get sixaxis workaround working. Will double check content of others videos etc before posting anything.

Can you please show us a paid app on 1mobile that is offered for free? I cannot find a single one, and 1mobile is not known for warez?
If not, I will clean up this thread of the accusations.
Thank you!

I thought they did, I just downloaded & checked & saw some emulators with the same icon as the pro version but with different authors, comments said contains mailware & fake app. I could be wrong? As long as your ok with it I'm happy with it. I won't be installing anything from there though

it looks like IR might be an option too if you can manually add the codes in your remote app: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/93-remote-control-area/2126570-discrete-ir-code-list-nvidia-shield-tv.html
Google just released an iOS version of their Android TV remote app. Works fine! Nicer way to enter text!
Now that I'm enjoying my Moto Z2 Force on T-Mobile and with Android Oreo 8.0, I wanted to know if this model supports USB-C to HDMI, or is it just as limited as all the previous Z models? Basically, I'm looking for a single cable or adapter (or the least contraption-looking solution) that will allow me to mirror whatever is on the Z2 Force's screen onto a TV or projector.
People have pointed previously to this adapter cable for the previous Z models, but it's currently out of stock on Amazon and over a month delivery time via AliExpress.
It supports mirricast so far with root

If you root the device and change the build prop lines you can get it to Miracast wireless in 1080p with a Belkin Miracast hdmi Dongle 100%
As far as HDMI out video streaming with a mhl adapter I had no luck right through a HDMI or av cable only Phone I know the supports that is the S8
Buying isimple medialinx female HDMI to AV converter and the Belkin Miracast Dongle on Amazon works wirelessly...
root the phone edit "ONE LINE in build prop with a build prop Editor app

If you don't have an HDMI port you need the HDMI to AV converter mainly this is for like car radios if it's a TV all you need is the Belkin Miracast Dongle has to be Belkin model like 29 bucks on Amazon

Thanks for this. Just out of curiosity, can you unroot afterwards and still keep that setting? I use my Z2 for corporate use as well.
Yes root is only with magisk manager V15.3 apk believe you can unroot from within the app if you unroot you still have permanent modified build prop files unless you faatboot flash all original firmware I'm not rooted and have the functionality
Follow the Oreo rooting procedure you need to unlock your bootloader first there's a few steps that's not simple if you aren't savy with this stuff .
Have to know if your on nougat or Oreo have to unlock your bootloader with ADB and fastboot files command prompt on your PC you can manage to unlock your bootloader that's the biggest step than rooting is just simply installing the magisk root APK and installing root

Mirricast under settings/cast is just disabled by default changing one line in the build prop enables it some reason Motorola disabled it on this phone

Hi.
I am running a OnePlus 6t on Android 10.
I have fond memories of some of my old Windows mobile games on my SPV 500 back in 2004.
Lemonade tycoon game
Slurp
Tennis
Is there an emulator or some way of playing these games on my android device?
Thanks for any help.
