XBOX One Slim Controller Bluetooth - Shield Android TV Accessories

With the new XBOX One Slim Controller being bluetooth, do you think it will work on the Shield?

No One will know until it comes out could have proprietary aspects to it like the ds4 controller.

Yeah, they've already stated it will work with Android devices so this should include Android TV devices like the Shield.

It doesn't really work with the shield yet, even with the Xbox driver kernel. It's detected, and will pair, but a lot of the buttons are mismapped, and I haven't found a way around that yet.
Some games on Windows actually have the same problem as well.

after firmware update it works but you have to pair every time you start the controller on android.
and the button layout is different than the Xbox 360.
someone need to make an app to fix those small issues.
on my PC side everything works after the Bluetooth stack and driver update for the anniversary from broadcom.
my PC use a all in one Bluetooth and wifi chip from them.

The shield just doesn't map the controller to the Xbox 360 layout correctly. if you have an app where you can bind inputs, like an emulator, all the inputs are active...and you can bind them all manually and it's usable. But if your game does not have that, or is expecting xinput commands, the buttons are wrong, the bumpers seem to be Y, triggers don't seem to do anything etc.

This is disappointing. Surely there will be an update that fixes this :'(

If your controller is updated and you have root, you could try to use a new keymap for the controller.
My keymap: http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/anLAfS7e/file.html
Download that file and copy it to
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/
Then set the permissions to 644.
This should work.

Didn't work.

worked for me , thanks for sharing.
For those it didn't work this is what I did , downloaded file on Shield TV *rooted btw* copied to /system/usr/keylayout/ , unpaired controller , restarted shield tv, repaired and now as far as I can tell all the buttons are working as they are supposed to.
Only issues so far is still seems like apps still dont like the controller even if properly mapped. Emulators for the most part work with every button.

The key layout works perfectly, thanks a ton.

Im having the issue where the controller will not "find" my Shield tablet or my nexus phone after being disconnected. I have to repair it every single damn time, and the pairing process is a massive pain in the ass that fails most of the time. I have updated the firmware and it just seems like the controller blinks endlessly.

I can confirm the Layout works without any issues on my rooted Samsung S7. Good job! Thank you very much.

There is a new firmware update for the controller that works perfect on my shield tv. No patch needed.

Can someone post a link to what exact model this is?

it is no more needed now,microsoft fixed this problem by releasing a firmware update on the controller.
you can update your Xbox one S controller by plugging it to your Xbox one or by using the Xbox accessories app on the windows store.

You need your A100 rooted in order to check where it is. I am currently to lazy but to look it up.

Thank for the info
I get heavy stutter with the Logitech Android BT keyboard and the V470 when using at the same time with HDMI display. Really disappointing.

[Q] PS3-Controller on the HTC One X

Hi,
on my Eee Pad Transformer it's possible to connect the PS3 Controller with the Tablet to use it as a game controller. Is that possible on the One X, too? Via bluetooth or something?
Thanks,

Yes, app on market called sixaxis controller will let you do it, your phone needs to be rooted though.

[Q] Spotify

Has anyone gotten spotify to work? I've tried the official apk and it displays sideways and only on part of the screen, and I've also tried KFSpotifyAndroid.apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417863 which displays properly but when you login the app immediately closes.

have you tried something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate to force the original app to rotate?
I'll give that a try this afternoon when I get home. Alternatively would anyone know where to find an apk for the official kindle fire version of spotify?

That did work to fix the orientation but the app is not responding to any key presses on the fire tv remote. I'm going to give a keyboard a try.

Ok, so using the official android apk from the spotify website, ultimate rotation control and my Adesso wireless keyboard with touchpad (WKB-4000US) spotify is working
Thanks for the advice on the rotation app.

You might try the Kindle tablet version of Spotify and let us know how it works. A working version of Spotify is the only thing holding me back from getting one of these things.

Well it is working for me with just a couple caveats. I have to use another app to fix the orientation and I have to use a keyboard/mouse to navigate, which isn't that big of an issue for me since it's nice to be able to type in my search queries easily.
And I believe in post #4 screwyluie linked me to the kindle fire apk. I tried that out and it still had the orientation issue so I just went with the official apk from spotify.
I decompiled the Spotify APK (latest version from my S4) and removed any android:screenOrientation="portrait" attributes from the AndroidManifest.xml file. It now shows up in the correct orientation for me. I used an attached keyboard/mouse to login, but after that I've just been using the Amazon remote to click through things on my playlists (on some of the screens, it helps to push the the left before scrolling up or down). If you hit the search box, the on screen keyboard shows up... so while it's not perfect, I think you can get by with the standard remote.
I've posted a build here if you want to try it:
httttp://d-h.st/Lel
Gave it a try but it's not letting me input text at all.

PS4 Remote Play

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147
It works on my Kindle 13.3.2.4. Haven't tested the ps4 controller part yet.
Just sharing maybe someone can create a more "attractive" thread.
Please move if it's the wrong section.
BIT of lag at times but it may be because I'm using 2.4Ghz. I'll see if I can set my modem to 5hz and leave my Router at 2.4Ghz for the rest of family members. See how it works like that.

[Q] mouse for Fire TV Stick - IOS

I know there is an app for Anroid; still nothing for IOS?
How about bluetooth mouse? an actual mouse that runs on bluetooth it should cost around 10-11$?
If you didn't sideload settings.apk all you do is sideload it and pair with via bluetooth menu.
Hmm. That might work. I use the stick mostly for when I travel. Do you have a recommendation for a cheap non-bulky mouse?

If you are looking to buy a BT mouse, why not just get the KB & Mouse combo. I have this and works good with the stick.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BALK9CM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a small size, light weight and ideal for travel.

The Nyko Playpad Pro at Gamestop might be more convenient than just a similarly priced mouse.

I am not sure how big that is but I tried one of those keyboards it was different company tho it was really small to type on. If I was using stick and needed keyboard&mouse I would buy both seperate and have full size (but that's just me) let us know how you like this one

I Love this little keyboard. Much smaller than expected and thus ideal for traveling. Also the fact that the on/off switch won't be activated in a bag is very practical. And the keyboard is backlit!!!

The air keyboard FAQ says that on non routed versions you can only run air keyboard light, which doesn't support mouse emulation. Did you get this to work with the fire TV stick?
