Hello to the Community. I first want to say thank to all you great people. This is the BEST forum going and you've been a huge help to many times.
OK so I'm a new owner of a 16g Nexus 7.
The main goal of this thread is I'm trying to find a gaming controller, the cable to allow the controller to function, and then a cable that will allow me to play games or watch movies on my big screen. I have some knowledge of what I'm looking for but not enough. I didn't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong thing, especially on line.
The other day I go and buy a micro HDmi to HDMI and realized after that is no go on either the N7 or gnex. So I'm here: I'm confident I can get good Info on all three of these items that work well and for cheap.
I have searched around here, other forums and on line but I haven't find anything definitive enough on what I would all need and works most current.
Need to buy on line asap:
The gaming controller: I don't care if its wired or wireless. Whatever you experts recommend is fine with me.
HDMI capable cable to TV.
If I have made any mistakes in posting or didn't include enough info please let me know.
Thank you all ahead of time for taking the time.

I am no expert either....just picked up my N7 today as well.
but i am pretty sure you need an MHL adapter...which is micro SD to Full HDMI female plug. then an HDMI cable from MHL to the TV.
as for the controller, i would probably stick with Bluetooth. you can use a PS3 BT controller (make sure it is official sony sixaxxis as some nockoffs use a wireless transmitter which isn't as easy and may not even work on the N&)
the PS3 controller i believe requires Root and an app which costs Money.
or there are other ones that gamestop sells called the Nyco playpad or something like that designed specifically for android gaming.
the Nyco requires a free app in the play store.
hook everything up, and you should be gaming in no time.
i personally can't wait to play some Old school NES games on my bigscreen.
There"s no mhl on the nexus 7.

Hey there and welcome,
I have done a couple of the things you're aiming to achieve.
For the controller, I have purchased a cheap micro USB OTG host (Right angled) from eBay for about £1.
This enabled me to use wired controllers, mount USB sticks for films etc.
I purchased an unofficial Xbox controller from Argos for around £17, it didn't work 100% from plug in, I had to modify the key layout file which took 2 mins, now it's perfect.
With regards to the HDMI, I don't think the N7 supports MHL, android 4.2 however will support wireless screen sharing via a dongle you plug into the TV. I forgot what its called.
Anyway, hope that helps, enjoy the nexus 7!
Edit: software is called miracast, looks promising. And if this method is preferred I guess a wireless controller is preferred too!

Yo thank you for the reply buddy
Sucks no Hdmi but o well gaming with a controller(wired or not) will work for now. What i wanted was to specifically find some ppl who had experience with a setup that confirmed working as recent as poss.
Price wise 1 for the cable and 17 for the controller works for me.
Do you mind linking me to the 2 products?
I wanna order something on line like now. Lol

Hey dude thanks for the reply
OK so see this is why i can get confused. The one reply below yours says n7 has no mhl support which I did hear multiple times other places online. But your saying it IS POSSIBLE with the MHL adapter( and I've seen it done on YouTube somehow). If it is me.that is misunderstanding what is being said, please 4give me,
--all I want is to game with a controller on my N7, if its possible to do it on a big screen...GREAT, if not no biggie at all. I just want to understand it however it is.
Make the purchases asap so they can get here asap. Lol
This can be really frustrating lol

I basically just ordered a cheap, non-branded game controller (about $5), got a USB OTG cable with the same specifics (cheap, non-branded), and found a custom keylayout that works for cheap, non-branded controllers. Combined all those together, and I now have a nice controller that can play games like DEAD TRIGGER

Yeah no problem, as long as the gameplay has the same layout as an Xbox controller, I know how to make it work. Other types will be a bit different buy I'm sure other people have got them working by editting the keylayout file, just send me a pm and I'll help with what I can.
With regards to the Argos site, you may want to find it locally for cheaper.

Hey guys.
OK I got this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280894965492 for $7
I haven't had much time but with the testing I've done with the time I did have here is what I know:
dead trigger- I see that this game has a built in option to use a game pad and map the buttons. It seemed pretty simple to do. The one small issue I couldn't figure out was how to map the control to lower w/e weapon I'm using. With the normal touchscreen your able to move that up/down. With the controller it stays about right at a level where w/e weapon I'm using shoots the zombies at head level( which is great when shooting) but sometimes its nice to be able to move that, especially when you are moving. If anyone knows how to do this or anything else Im missing i would appreciate the help very much.
NFS Most Wanted- could not figure out how to get the controller to work. Any info would be great.
Asphalt Heat-I haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure there is a built in option to use a gamepad as well. Correct?
MC3-Iv seen and heard this game is capable of using USB controller but I don't know how to get it work. Any info on this?
NBA Jam-tried straight plug and play with this game and had no success?
Beach Buggy Blitz- built in option for gamepads worked. Pretty simple.
Any other games that anyone has experience with plug and play or simple modifications would be a great help to me.
Thank you.

Can someone please please help me. I got a USB controller that works. The game in question is modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7. This is driving me fricken crazy. I been at this for hours and I'm about ready to go nuts. I'm at the point where I'm trying to map the buttons on the touch screen. I figured out how to maps most of the buttons EXCEPT FOR HOW TO MOVE/RUN AND AND AIM. I'm trying to map the left analog stick to move/run and the right analog stick to aim/movie the gun around. I'm kind of able to but the direction I'm moving are all fed up and I can't get it right.
I'll be able map the right analog stick to move the gun around but up moves left down moves right left moves up and right moves down. You understand what I mean? It WILL NOT let me to get right how its suppose to be.
If someone can somehow someway help it would be a huge help. I've literally been at it for 2 day on and off and I can't figure it out. Its so darn frustrating.

Edit:
So it seems the consensus is that this will probably not have HDMI out (through a cable)
But obviously it can stream it's video over wifi (or bluetooth?)
So I want to know if anyone knows of a cheap solution. Like using Apple TV or Nexus Q (But MUCH cheaper)
Also, would wifi streaming, say Netflix, AND wifi streaming to the TV destroy the streaming quality of Netflix?
Let's figure this out!
So I don't think this has an HDMI port (Maybe micro to Hdmi?)
But does anyone know cheap wifi HDMI out solutions? Like Apple TV, but CHEAP.
This is one thing worrying me about this tablet. ($300 for the Q is horrible)

Sadly no, but if you watch the keynote you can see them using it on stage to display the screen
picked up a Samsung one for my phone from a local pc retail store last week... $45 Canadian. Had other models around $15.

The one used on stage may have been one of those with that mysterious 3rd port that we won't have.
It's a great tablet, still planning to get one, but they probably left it out the spec for a reason.

That's may not the same model that's shipping though. We may not get this feature on the consumer version.
Check out around the 9:00 mark of the keynote. Whether it makes it to production is to be seen but obviously they are putting video out.. also on the Google Play Store under tech specs they don't mention the Galaxy Nexus has MHL.. but it does
Once MHL is confirmed I'll probably have to order up another Nexus 7 to use as a media server. I'd just mount it to my stereo cabinet and run it through my receiver. Too bad the HP Touchpad never had MHL support, it'd give new life to my soon to be retired device.
The Q would upset and confuse anyone who didn't already know what it was if they saw it in my living room. I'm not very impressed with the amplifier on it either.
Yeah If they confirm MHL I'm in. It does look like they had special versons with hdmi though. I'd be saddened to learn that I can't hook it to a tv. It was a deffinate buy for me before but without hdmi I'm out.

So prbly no HDMI, and if it has MHL we won't know until it comes out. So we may as well prepare for it not having MHL.
If it has it, well then this thread could be useful for a different device.
If it doesn't, then this thread is important
Either way. This will help people feel better about their purchase if they know there is an HDMI alternative.
I agree. I hope there is MHL but if there is another HDMI alternative I'm all ears.

Actually I re-watched the videos, and the only cord they are using is plugged into the Micro USB SO:
A) There is MHL (at least on the display, but why not all of them?)
B) They were just keeping it charged while they streamed the video through the Nexus Q (more likely)
If only we could ask someone that just got one free at the event!
Edit: Just tweeted to Aaron Baker of PhoneDog.com who received a free Nexus 7 at the I/O to let us know in his full review if it has MHL/HDMI and Tablet support. We will see what happens.
Engadget has posted their review and says that you can use an MHL adapter. Can we take this as gospel? Hmmm...

Update: We received some bogus information on the MHL. We've now confirmed that the Nexus 7 does not support MHL, meaning there's no way to connect this over HDMI to get video output.
Will slimport allow me to hook up a nexus 4 to an atrix lapdock using this accessory?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...IN=B009UZBLSG&linkCode=as2&tag=phandroid01-20
Just wondering if the keyboard and mouse will pass through the second micro usb. Thanks!
I know this is an old thread but having just joined the n4 family from the atrix 4g i've spent the past day trying to find out if i could put my lapdock to good use.
I thought the slimport cable with correct adaptors should work but needed to find out for sure before buying one since i have no interest in using it with anything other than my lapdock.
Anyway if anyone has a lapdock or would be interested in getting one to play with, check out this link i just came by...(ok i tried to post the link but since i don't have 10 posts i wasn't allowed) So type 'Atrix Lapdock Other Uses - Rob86wiki' into google There's a section for the nexus 4 there.
I apologise in advance if this has been posted before or is common knowledge but i did a search and only this thread came up.
Cheers
Oh i'd just like to add i'm not saying it works completely or would ever work like it did with the atrix. Tbh i don't have enough knowlege of this stuff but i find it interesting.
Hi,
Quick question- will a cheap USB gamepad work with my N10 through a OTG cable?
Thanks in advance.
The answer is not such a quick, or simple one.
Esentially it depends on what you buy.
All I can say with certainty is that a PS3 controller and an XBOX controller will work with software (games). Your best option is to find a particular controller and ask people is it works, nobody is psychic and we can't guess which controller you want to buy.
I'd suggest you look at the description for a game called "A Bards Tale", the developers have added extensive support for controllers, find one in that list and see if anyone has tried it.

Is there a need to be antagonistic? I'm not expecting anyone to be "psychic" or to guess what I want to buy. Its clear from the question that I dont know which controller to but.
Now, if we can be civil:
I understand that to get a PS3 controller to work via bluetooth you need to root? Is this the case when using an OTG cable?

My sincere apologies if I came across that way, it was not my intention. For USB, Android *should* support game pads natively, it has done since Honeycomb, but as many of us are aware, recent versions have severely broken such support.
I can certainly test a PS3 controller for you by OTG when I get home, but that doesn't necessarily meet your requirement of "cheap" unless you have one at hand.
EDIT: WRT root, if support still works like it used to, root will not be required, it did work normally and natively, and still should, unless it to has been broken.

It turns out a PS3 pad will work without any issues via OTG. I'm quite surprised. It also worked on my HTC One X.

No worries, glad you got it sorted. Out of interest, what software have you tested it with and it's supported?
Gamepad support is of course an API in the subsystem and needs to be implemented by the developers of games and apps to support it, "A Bards Tale" is the only game I've come across so far with true native support for it. Do you have / know if others?

Yeah its great! I also use it for shadow gun
You can buy a used controller or something I just used an old one we had.
But it was definitely worth buying the app

Yeah I tried to find something on craigslist but came up with nothing. ebay has some but I don't like buying electronics from other people. Best buy has them for $55. I just found a $25 gift card but still not sure if its worth it lol How good does it work with games? Main reason for all this is my xbox 360 broke and don't have the money to buy a new one. Also with the possibility of a new one coming out this year, I'd rather wait. But I'd like to play games still but the touch screen just isn't efficient.
Huh? You guys didn't know you could do it without an OTG cable? I was under the impression that 99% of people just used the PC Software.
BTW, MAKE sure you buy an original Sony controller. If not, you'll probably never even get it synced. Sir_earl has said countless times that 3rd party controllers aren't the same and he hasn't really been able to support them.

Dude its awesome with games, so much better the using the screen. + it works on all the games I like to run
Heck it is worth it if you only use it on SG dead zone GTA or NFS lol
Yeah and like its been said before make sure you have a SixAxis controller, doesn't have to be new "I'm using a old grey one" It just has to be SixAxis

okay cool. I'll probably pick one up but I'll wait for a sale. I'm not paying $55 for a controller lol a bit steep for something I don't know if it'll work with everything.

I tried downloading this but it says it's incompatible with my devices? I have a Nexus 7 of course. Odd.

Ok so I'm going to use a computer that has windows 7 on it. Now will the controller always stay synced up to my phone even if I use it with my PS3, or will I have to hook it up to the computer everytime I want to use it?
Edit - Windows 7 to the f'ing rescue! Playing Deadtrigger with a controller is so much better. Made the game 10 times better for me. Between flashing ROMS for the N7 and S3, I am in flasher heaven minus the tatas but hey that's what a girlfriends for right?

If you have an XBox One S or One X already, then the easiest and cheapest thing to do is to buy a phone clip for the XBox One controller for $10 from Amazon and just pair the controller with your phone. That's what I do and it works great. And its a controller I'm already familiar with. I believe you can do the same with the PS4 controllers, though I'm not sure.
Ps4 controller doesn't work, it's a bug on Samsung's end. I was hoping to use a ps4 controller for Cod to but it something different about the bluetooth in the ps4 controller that Samsung phone aren't familiar with they need to patch it already, I can't find the specific thread saying why this weird bug happens but someone on here gave us an exact answer as to why. So basically if you wanna use a ps4 controller on Samsung you have to be rooted or just use different phone. Sucks bro
COD removed support for controllers. Same for iOS

Focusing on the wrong point of his post lol. But there is an app called Octopus that gets around lack of controller support anyway since you brought it up.
For the controller, I use this one with my Note 10+. Use it in the third profile (you'll see what I mean when you get it). It fits mine WITH a TPU case on it still. https://amzn.to/2kkhmvH
Everyone always recommends that Wee controller but this one works just as well and actually has some comfortable grips to it.

Okay guys no one suggest anything else, you HAVE to get a wee and that's that. jemfalor is following the thread and will negate any other suggestions.

seems like you are quite fragile. octopus will get you ban on pubg.

Lol I'm not fragile it's just amusing that you are so adamant about the Wee. You already posted your controller suggestion, no need to brigade anyone else's. The point of my post was to link the controller, I just threw in the bit about Octopus existing in reply to the other person who didn't suggest a controller and just responded to say one specific game didn't support it. If you responded just to point out that Octopus is unauthorized, awesome. But then you tacked on the Wee yet again. We get it. Do you have stock in their company? Lol
I'm only coming back to this thread cause you keep quoting me and it notifies me. You're the one patrolling it.

If you search, there's a thread about the dolphin emulator. I replied with my setting for Dolphin which runs very well.
