Hey Guys,
I noticed the Amazon Fire TV was actually misreading the Dual Shock 4 Controller as The Amazon Fire Controller, which caused some mismapped keys and weird analog jumps and jitters and came up with a .KL file that fixes all that.
You need to be rooted for this to work.
Copy my file to you system/usr/keylayout folder and disconnect your controller, then reconnect. Your buttons will be set.
I mapped the buttons like a Dual Shock 3 but kept the axis items for GAS & Break the same. The Touchpad is mapped as Menu, With Back and Home being Removed for full control in Emulators. Heres all the info if you wanna make your own modded version. Just edit the .kl file i included and you should be fine.

With this method can i pair multiple Dualshock 4 controllers to the same Amazon Fire TV? Also is there a kl file for PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 controllers? from my understanding dualshock 3 dont work correctly.
Im glad it could help! I was thinking you could just have them copy and paste it using es File explorer?
@mejdam
I haven't tested that out yet and that was the reason I even started this whole thing lol.
It may be linked to the IME (Input Method) being locked. Im looking for a way to allow other IME's to work which should circumvent this problem, but i'm hoping that now that we have the matching Vender/Product.KL file for the ds4 in place, maybe it will read now. or at least make our lives a little easier.
Your Fire TV Box has the .kl file for DualShock 3 controllers already. You need to use Sixaxis tool to pair it correctly. I dont have any DS3 controllers anymore to test if its functional or not
would it be possible to make a red samurai controler from gamestop appear like a ps3 controller using this method?

I can't seem to get my ps4 controller to pair up with the FTV. I'm holding the share and home button on the ps4 controller to put it in pairing mode, then going to the setting on the FTV. It recognizes it as a wireless controller, but when I select it, it eventually just gives me an error message saying pairing was unsuccessful. I tried to get it working through the sixaxis controller app but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?

I have this exact same problem - here's a more detailed breakdown of what happens for me:
Have never attempted to pair (either of 2) DS4 to my FTV.
Installed this file to my FTV successfully, I think? There wasn't a lot of feedback from the terminal during the process so I assume it worked - I didn't get any error messages, at least...
Rebooted FTV per instructions.
Start controller pairing on my FTV
Put DS4 into pairing mode (light bar blinks to indicate pairing)
FTV sees controller
Select controller with FTV remote to start pair
DS4 goes OUT of pairing mode (almost as if it did pair successfully) and LED blinks slowly a few times, then turns off
Turning DS4 back on causes the LED to flash white a few times then turn off again.
FTV never successfully completes pairing process.
Anyone have any ideas on why this works for some people and doesn't work for others?
I have not installed any APKs designed to pair controllers like the DS3, but from what I know those are only necessary for pairing a DS3, and aren't necessary for pairing a DS4, correct?
I have NOT applied the "remote control" firmware update because it seemed kinda pointless, but I should have the latest AFTV firmware running. I doubt the remote control firmware is relevant here, but thought it bore mention all the same.
I've tried this with the DS4 unplugged, plugged into the FTV USB, plugged into a wall charger - no joy from any of these.
FTV does work with the DS4 via USB, but I'd prefer not to buy a 10ft USB cable to use my wireless controller...

@meadtj Yes, you can but you will need to find the correct mappings for the red samurai controller. Download Keytest.apk and write down the scancodes of each joystick push and button press on your joystick.

R2 and L2 not working
I'm having trouble with R2 and L2 not registering in games. Every other button works great. I've remade the .kl file as well without success. Anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it? Gamepad Tester shows that everything is mapped correctly on the Fire TV
To anyone with pairing problems, I got mine to work by installing the "Settings" APK and pairing it there. After that I didn't have any more issues seeing the DS4.

I'm having the same issue. I futzed around with the keybinds for a bit: I can rebind other controls to R2 and L2 (e.g. I can make the AFTV think I'm pressing A by pressing R2), but I can't rebind R2 and L2 to other controls (e.g. I can't press the triangle key and make the AFTV think I'm pressing R2). In other words, the scancodes 310 for L2 and 311 for R2 are working just fine, but mapping any key to BUTTON_L2 or BUTTON_R2 seems to make that key functionally inert.
My only other guess (based on the comments in the DS3 .kl file, and an offhand mention by the OP), is that this has something to do with the GAS and BRAKE triggers; resetting them to the DS3 defaults didn't seem to do anything for me.
No pairing problems on my end, at least.
EDIT: Found a solution (that works for me, at least)! Changing the GAS and BRAKE values to the following fixed it for me:
axis 0x04 GAS
axis 0x03 BRAKE
cant pair

where did you get settings apk?
I believe he is talking about the settings.apk in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714494
I am having the same issues as you. I sideloaded the settings.apk a few minutes ago. You then open it from the Firetv and go into the bluetooth menu.
It says I'm paired but cannot use the controller for menus currently as it turns itself off after being paired.
Will play with this a bit and report back if it works.
Update: Not working for me. DS4 still shuts itself off like it's timing out. I've spent 3 hours on this, getting very frustrated, time for bed.

Try this, once you select wireless controller pair hit return key on fire TV remote it should be paired but battery is off. Can’t figure that part out.

Hi there - i'm new to both xbmc and amazon tv. I'm looking to map the Mele F10 Pro remote - in particular the microphone on it so that it work like the stock remote. Is there a tutorial on how to go about this you can link me to?
thanks
This file works for some games, but not for others. I was able to remap the gas-break for Airborn 8. However, some games will not recognize the PS4 controller. For example, I cannot use “Naught 2″ because it does not recognize the D-pad or the ‘A’ button. Also, the game “Hero to Many” does not recognize the L/R triggers or the D-pad.
I have repeated the install instructions and completed a factory reset… same issue.
Perhaps the controller needs an update?

So I've been toying around with my PS3 controller, and Transformer (plus dock) all morning and for the life of me I can't get it working correctly.
From every article I've read you should just be able to plug it in and go, but whatever was working for those guys clearly is missing from my own Transformer.
Anybody else been able to get it working?
I'm also wondering if my dock didn't update along with the 3.1 like it was supposed to. I remember updating the tablet, but there was never a separate dock update like there has been previously.
I'm running version EP101-0209
Is that the newest version?
I noticed that it only works with certain games natively or you would need to map the buttons through the game's OPTION (if available). The only native supported game I had found is called "Cordy" which you can download and play from market for free. It would also be a good start to test your controller though.
Anyway when they claimed that it supports PS3 controller, I think they meant via the USB port and not via BT. The only BT supported controller is the Wiimote but you need to download a new IME to run with it. Hope this helps, cheers !
PS3 controller with USB cable works perfectly in the dock. I tested it with SNESoid and cordy.
99% of market games will not work with any controller, they have to actually be coded for it to work. if the game has a key binding setting (like the emulators) then your good cause you can bind it and set everything up.
I also couldn't get it to work then realized you have to actually turn on the controller (long press PS logo) for it to work. doh

I should have mentioned I've been trying to get it working with SNESoid to no avail. It's not that it's entirely non-functioning rather it just doesn't read the buttons correctly.
Despite remapping it's very janky and, for example, the start button always goes to the home screen and triangle force closes the game.
Was there anything special you did to get it working with SNESoid or was it just plug in and go?
I know I've been having similar issues with PS3 controllers on 3.1. The controller would be detected, would get all the keys mapped, but I haven't found any emulator/game that reads any input from the right joystick. All other buttons and the right one work perfectly. Tried it on two Sony Six Axis controllers and a wireless logitech with a usb dongle. All 3 do the same things

don't think i did anything special. took a bit for it to finally recognise it but then i bound everything and i had no issues. no issues with start or triangle.
Been playing on mine with the PS3 controller and some roms. pretty damn awesome!

You should be able to over Bluetooth which is how it connects tot he NP. I known that emulators support controllers so why not give it a try? If you don't have the NP I'll try it and let you know
My controller successfully gets connected with my phone and my laptop. Just press the home and back button together for a few seconds to get it to pairing mode and the simply pair it via bluetooth.
I don't have a NP, it doesn't seem to be good enough to order (have a Chromecast), with the limited memory and stuff. But the Gamepad looks so cool, I thought why not get it for my Android games? Wanted to have a Bluetooth gamepad anyways for some time...

A normal windows laptop with Bluetooth
What edition of windows? I couldn't see available for pairing it on my MSI GT70 with Windows 8.1 64-bit. Other devices pair just fine.
I got it to pair on my laptop. But the buttons and pads aren't mapped correctly, e.g. it didn't work on Steam Big Picture or on any games. It's stuck going top-right. I assume they have the triggers mapped on the wrong axis. If anyone knows a way to remap the buttons, d-pad and sticks, I'd try it again. And it connected perfectly with my phone (Oneplus One.) I didn't test every button, wouldn't know how. Was able to remap some of them in MAME4Droid.
I paired the np remote with my nexus 6 and have an issue, when using it in Kodi, the select button ( the big center round one) does not do anything, any ideas?
I couldn't pair it with my G4, any tips?
That's right, I currently have a PS3 controller working via internal BT on my rooted TN7 running 4.3 JB.
It all started with me looking for any new info on if/when we will get Lollipop and I found a Tegra Note Google+ page ( https://plus.google.com/communities/107930429626808861984 ) . Then I saw this post https://plus.google.com/+LeidivalSilvaSales/posts/TnDVpXqUCau and in the comments on this post a guy claiming that it was working on his TN7 https://plus.google.com/113859637427636372771/posts/22eAWCYqN1W
I hadn't tried to pair the controller in awhile and there were some updates to the Sixaxis app since then so I reinstalled installed Sixaxis Compatibility Checker. At first it didn't seem to work but here is the key, assuming the BT address in the controller had already been changed to match your device the controller has to be off or charging and you unplug it AFTER you hit the start button on the app. If the lights are blinking before you hit start it won't pair. After doing this the app paired the controller and registered all button/joystick inputs! I immediately bought the full Sixaxis app and with a little configuration was using the controller with ePSXe. Vibration doesn't seem to work but all the buttons/joysticks do. I haven't tried the tilt function yet. I'm so happy, I don't own a ps3 and bought the controller specifically to use with the TN7 and its been collecting dust for over 6 months because it didn't work.
If anybody doesn't believe me I can post a video.
I do not understand
I do not understand your tutorial, I am sorry.
What do I have to do?
I have
- rooted TN7
- installed Sixaxis Controller App
- DS3-Controller, with changed BT-Adress to fit my TN7
- USB-OTG-Cable
What is the exact order to make it work via bluetooth?
By connecting my DS3-Controller via USB-OTG all lights are blinking (there is no way to prevent this).
Thank you in advance!
--
Update1:
Oh, nevermind my post I found out myself..
1. Change the DS3-Controller Master-Adress to fit TN7 (by using MotionInJoyDriver and Configuration with BetterDS3_1.5.3)
2. Have the SixAxis-App running
3. Connect the DS3-Controller via USB-OTG to the TN7
4. Press Pair in the App, and set that checkmark to always set that adress for your usb-device
5. Press Start in the SixAxis-App (wait a few seconds, until everything is loaded)
5.1. Now the lights on the controller are blinking (or they were blinking before)
6. Press some buttons on your controller, by still having it connected via USB-OTG, to look, if it is working.
7. Hide SixAxis-App and bring it to front again
8. Hide SixAxis-App and unplug for Controller from that USB-OTG-Cable
9. Bring SixAxis-App to front and try to push some buttons on your controler (it is now working wireless).
Now you have successfully configured your DS3 with your TN7.
To make it always work via bluetooth finally do the following:
1. Make sure your gamepad is turned off
2. Open SixAxis-App and hit Start
2.1. Wait until everything (that driver stuff) is successfully loaded
3. Press Home on your DS3-Controller (now your Controller is connected to your TN7)
4. Celebrate that day and have fun playing games
Perhaps a few steps mentioned here are not necessary, but that is the way I made it work with my TN7.
It's also still working after a (soft) restart of my TN7.
Yayness!
I'm not exactly sure what the revelation here is... I've been using my PS3 controller with my TN7 for ages with the Sixaxis app. Glad it works for you too!
I have tried through bluetooth and the phone is unable to pair with the controller. Is there any other way to work around this issue and connect wirelessly? Also will a USB-C OTG cable work with the 6P?
I haven't received my 6P yet but on my 6 I use sixaxis controller with my ps3 controller. Not sure if ps4 controller does native Bluetooth gamepad or you need to use the app.
Use this to set the parent address to your nexus 6ps bluetooth mac address (you can find it in settings->about)
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Then connect it as a standard bluetooth device.
Unfortuantely after 30sec it starts lagging terribly
So I successfully got the ps4 controller to pair over Bluetooth without adjusting any settings. It wouldn't work at first but it added it as a device. Then when I tried again the next day after restarting the phone it connected.
you have to hold PS button and share at the same time until you get the flashing white light.
However, the triggers mapped weird for games and there is lag.
Does anyone know of a way to fix the mapping without root?
I also successfully used the OTG cable with the ps3 controller. This worked a lot better this works a lot faster then the Bluetooth ps4. And the mapping is correct.
Haven't tried usb to ps4 yet. UPDATE
So ps4 over otg also has some mapping issues. Tested this out in minecraft settings since you can customize controller mapping. For some reason on ps4 some buttons didn't seem to me recognized, everything was weird, like r2 was labeled as a button and triangle wasn't showing anything.
Tried to connect ps3 via Bluetooth but couldn't get it to work
Just an FYI you guys, the ps4 controller works with the s8+ via Bluetooth I'm using it now and I'm downloading some games for vr and games for emulators to test it out but it works fine and connects fine, I can use it to navigate on my home screen and I'll edit this post to see how the game play is. Just press the PS button and the share button at the same time and once it blinks go to settings on your phone and scan and connect, I had to do this twice for some reason but the second time it worked

The newest Xbox controller should also work using Bluetooth. It can also be remapped if needed.

Like I said it should work. Some Samsung games recomend it over other controllers.

Just an FYI you guys, the ps4 controller works with the s8+ via Bluetooth I'm using it now and I'm downloading some games for vr and games for emulators to test it out but it works fine and connects fine, I can use it to navigate on my home screen and I'll edit this post to see how the game play is. Just press the PS button and the share button at the same time and once it blinks go to settings on your phone and scan and connect, I had to do this twice for some reason but the second time it worked

Usb otg is better than Bluetooth no anolog lag
Bluetooth Controller Lag
I have attempted to use my roommate's PS4 controller and noticed some major input delay. I will attempt to move to an icon to highlight and open it, but it will take a second or two before it moves. Sometimes it will shoot past what I was attempting to highlight. The same thing happens when running Metal Gear Solid through FPse for Android. A 1 to 2 second delay occurs when I try to move or take any action.
I also have my own newer Xbox One controller. Has anyone played with that to see if it works better?

I was able to get it to work for me
Hello Iv'e been trying to make the ps4 controller work with my s8 for so long, i decided to see if connecting the included OTG adapter that came with my s8 to the Gear VR and it works the ps4 controller shows a blue light and lets me control the game, for some games you have to change the controller settings hope this helps everyone.
Did the phone have to be rooted? Older phones needed to be rooted. This is good news if no root is needed.
My org cable don't work no more. Can't mount anything and twrp doesn't show anything for mount otg. What do I do?
Samsung includes a USB C OTG in the box so use any controller you want or at least they do in Canada....
They also add it in the States as well.
It works, kinda...
I was able to successfully connect my PS4 controller to the android device. However, i was only able to play Asphalt 8 with. PES2017 didn't work. I am looking forward to more games that can work with the controller. Any recommendations?
Hi,
I've a Motorola Moto g5 and was just wondering if a PS4 controller was compatable with this phone? It pairs with my phone via Bluetooth but the controller itself doesn't work!
Does anyone know if it's possible to get it to work or is it just best to get an android Bluetooth gamepad? Looking for easier controls for my emulator.
Cheers.

You might be better served by asking a Moto G5 forum.

Ok, cheers.
No
Nothing works
I have tried using a moga controller through pivot. two separate ds4 (Bluetooth and usbc) and xbox one controller through the usbc. The moga successfully connects and works within the pivot app but loses all functionality as soon as you leave the app. The ps4 cont. Connect via Bluetooth but no inputs are received. Connecting ps4 cont. Via wire just charges the controller from my phone. And the Xbox one cont. Does nothing once plugged in. I just want one of these controllers to work so I can use them on emulators(i have tried many)
