Does anyone know if usb gamepads work with the Iconia? Would like to use an analoge pad if it can be done to play some PSX games..
Thanks, Sonkey
This has been discussed numerous times since 3.1 was released.
Yes, USB gamepads are supported. Not 100% sure about analog thumbpads for psx playing though. Try it

I use a wireless xbox 360 controller for PC (w/ usb receiver). This works well for nesoid hooked up to the tv via HDMI
why bother using a wired joystick when you can get a wireless joystick at just few bucks more..
i have PS3 wireless joystick and installed sixaxis contoller app... been happy and no problem so far
Those of you using an xbox controller hardwired..
my left analogue stick works but not the right one. also the top L+R buttons work but not the bottom ones..
do you guys have the same issues??
Also..
Those using the PS3 controller.. have you noticed that any buttons arent responding? might invest in a PS3 controller if they all work correctly.
thanks in advance.
I've bought this app on the market
(Damn, cannot post links...)
it's called 'USB/BT Joystick Center'
It's working perfectly to me...
I've tested 3 generic usb joysticks and all of them worked.
You can create the USB driver based on the bits input of the device.
really nice, and no root is needed.
rafinhasantana 'USB/BT Joystick Center
Hey rafinhasantana,
I bought USB/BT JOY center too but i was afraid to install it. check out the permissions on that thing. Says it can record passwords you enter in another application. I know its probably needed to record button actions etc... but i was a little concerned.
Do you have any issues with it thus far? Anyone else use this????

I've been looking into this. When you say a "wireless PS3 remote", sdo you mean the stock Sony branded remote, or other?

Hi!
Well i've had no problems with that.. It works like an alternative input method, like in the Wii controller input, but you're not gonna use to type your passwords around. I've contacted the developer about the deadzone for sticks and he hass implemented that...
It's working fine for me, and since I don't use the tablet for banking I'm not THAT worried about passwords on it at all...

Excellent, gonna go grab a Sony remote today. Thanks
I just noticed the Six Axis app requires root... shucks.
Those SixAxis Dual Shock controllers... the ones listed as wireless still have the mini USB connection on the back. Is that ONLY for charging, or can those be hooked up via USB to the tablet for use as well?

Im also thinkimg of getting a set or paiir of ps3 controller. Im kinda leaning towards the bluetooth wireless sixaxis. But before i pull the trigger, can anyone plz confirm that you can connect two wiireless sixaxis controllers simultaneously for 2-player mode in some games? If not, can the wired controllers do it? Tia
Anyone know if PlayStation One (dual shock) controllers can work properly?
I have one hooked up via an OTG cable and a USB conversion hub (to plug the controller into) and can only seen to get the analogue sick to work on FPse. The others buttons (other than the D-pad and right analogue stick) seem to be working in the joycentre but I am not sure how to get them to work outside it, out how to tell the joycentre what physical buttons the presses relate to. Does anyone know if a tutorial video in English?

Does anyone know of a way to remap Sixaxis controller? In GTA3, right analog stick is mapped to some strange "freeview" and I would like to use it for camera pan.
I'm running stock 4.2.1 (not rooted and I would like to stay that way if possible), controller is connected via USB OTG cable. I'm aware of Sixaxis app but it requires root and as far as I understand it works over bluetooth only..
Thanx!

It does require root for the Sixaxis Controller app. However, if you use it and BT the controller, it is an identical control mapping to a PS2 controller. Just like playing it on the console. Works the same in Vice City as well.

I suppose you're talking about the Sixaxis app game settings which you can download on thread here on XDA (because using the out of the box stock ROM and USB OTG connection, mapping it's nothing like on PS )
I wanted to know if there is a way to do something like that when Sixaxis is connected via USB and preferably without going through the root procedure. Guess not

Actually no, I'm talking about the Sixaxis Controller app in the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
If you use this, and root/BT the controller to the phone, you don't need "app game settings" from that other thread for GTA3 and VC to work just like on a console.
Aside from the hassle of rooting, I don't see a reason not to. You provide root access to apps anyway.
I could have sworn when I had my Samsung S2 I would plug in an xbox controller via usb through a USB OTG cable and it would just work in games. This isn't happening with my Verizon LG G2 that I thought supports USB OTG. When I plug in a media card reader for example I actually see a popup like something is working. Nothing pops up when I plug in the xbox controller.
Anyone get a gamepad to work or have suggestions?
Here is someone else with the same issue that seems to have made some progress:

I'm on Moga and Moga Pro Bluetooth controllers! Don't have a OTG cable. I did get a slimport cable though, and let me tell you, it is sweet playing Modern Combat 4 in 720p on my projector (don't have a 1080p projector) with a wireless controller ON A PHONE!
so you love the Moga? I guess I just figured since I had an xbox controller I'd save the money and only have to worry about battery life on the phone and not the controller. Also the xbox controller is awesome. What to do.... ugh.
Anyone else with gamepad setups they want to share? I guess I'll end up pulling the trigger soon if I can't resolve this. My gaming impatience will get the best of me : )
Another reason why I want wired is to reduce lag etc.. although I don't have experience with bluetooth lag but any perceptible amount is not worth it to me. So check out the email I wrote to LG:
to: LG
How come when I plug in my xbox controller through a usb otg cable it doesn't work? It should. Please see this post:

By the way, I really love this phone. Just hope you guys can enable gamepad support and pay to click using google wallet and the nfc chip.
Please advise,
Thanks so much,

Here was their response... ha:
I apologize that you are having problems with the phone. If your xbox controller is not working with the phone you would have to get repair or troubleshooting information from Customer Care of Xbox.
If you are reading this, hope you had a good laugh too.
I ask LG a solution

I have no solution to connect my wired xbox 360 controller to my LG G2 (if anybody has one, tell me)
I really like my phone and my controller
I hope LG will reply me in a good way but ...
wait and see.
Please ... tell me there is a solution.
Out of curiosity, did you try an AOSP ROM to see if it worked? I did not at this point.

I like the Mogas but they Feel similar to a 360.
Personally I think you can't get any better then a PS3 controller. It will work Wired out of the box (haven't tried on the G2) and also wirelessly through bluetooth with the rooted sixaxis app.
The PS3, I think, is a much better controller because of the separated DPad that becomes very very handy in retro gaming. Try playing SNES Mario World with a Moga or 360 and you'll hate it. I currently have 2 Ouya BT Controllers, a 360 Controller w/ Wireless Sync USB, and a PS3 controller.
I'm also curious if the PS4 was ever successfully paired to Android yet. The PS4 is similar to my Ouya Controller in a sense that it has the touchpad built in, which makes it very handy for navigating Android apps on a TV that aren't 100% gamepad compatible.
For gamepads to work, they need the specific .KO file that has the profiles. LG may not have included it. Custom roms should work out of the box though.

Is that possible to include it ?
No answer from LG. I'm furious ! A so good phone and no way to play with a wired controller. I was thinking that the ability was included diectly inside android. Why LG did extract this ability ? Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa I'm not saying they excluded it, but probably did... or goofed it up somehow.
Just do Bluetooth. Wired controllers don't work well anyway.
Are you sure it isn't working? You usually are required to download an app from the play store to really start utilizing the controllers for gamplay.
You can also just root and grab an app to restore the .ko file.

I could use another Xbox 360 controller, but it would be nice if it could be used for both the Xbox and the MOJO so I'd have another controller for the MOJO. It would have to be wireless, I know the wired one can work. I've done a lot of searching, but didn't see a great solution. I saw on XDA forum there is a way to get it to work with Nexus, but wasn't sure if it would work on the MOJO. Any thoughts?

Good to see that we could help you, and i hope that you will have a lot of fun with it.
I can confirm that the wireless receiver for the PC works on the mojo. I was able to pair the Xbox 360 wireless with the receiver and get it to work. I was able to get it to work without doing any configuration for Soulcraft, except for the trigger buttons. It also worked straight up on Mupen64. On GTA III it worked until you got into the game, then it would just constantly spin around, so may need some configuration. I won't be using it as a main controller, but seems to be an option if I want to play a two player game. The receiver was only $10 US, so nice addition to be able to use an XBOX 360 controller now on the MOJO and a computer.
Is it possible to use an Xbox one controller on android, I have seen conflicting statements, and if not just staight up, is there any way to get it working. Thank you guys. I do know this is probably a question thats extremely stupid to alot of you and it means alot for this help. Thanks
That depends entirely on how you intend to connect it......
If you intend to use a 'wired' controller via the USB socket on the phone then yes it is possible....though you will need an app of some sort to 'map' the buttons correctly.
If you intend to connect wirelessly, then you're out of luck.....had it been a PS3 or PS4 controller, it would have been a different story.
The xbox controller transmits via RF signals whereas the Sony equivalent transmits via bluetooth.
We can pair bluetooth devices to the phone without issue....but that's not the case for RF devices.
The only reason I know this is because I went through something similar in order to use ePSXe to play PS1 games on my S5 ....In the end I had to get a Moga bluetooth controller to do the job......
Edit.....My bad.....I was commenting about xbox 360 controllers.....just noticed you have an xbox one controller......which connects via wi fi (I believe). That has possibilities.....have you tried connecting it by wi fi direct? If it does connect that way, you'll still need some method of mapping the buttons. It may be the case that someone needs to develop an app that makes the devices communicate with each other too....afraid I haven't looked into that though....never needed it....
Sorry fella...
Edit 2.....just done a bit of research, it turns out there is no 'native' support in Android for wireless controllers, you (apparently) need an interface app and/or a rooted device that you can add/change code on....

yea Microsoft made the xbox one S controller fully android compatible by firmware upgrade ( you need a cable and a app on pc or xbox one.)
and this controller is bluetooth compatible.making most xbox one original controller (and elite) obsolete.
Anyone have any info on getting the second edition of the Xbox One controller with built-in bluetooth to work on Android?
bump just finished doing the firmware update on my gamepad, reset it and my phone, still thinks my triggers are my right stick. nothing in the xbox accessories app to switch axis around. sigh.
