How to
1 Connect pad via cable and use for 1 min. It will pair the pad without you knowing
2 Disconnect pad and turn on Bluetooth. Press power on pad and will come up Ps3 controller connected
3 Enjoy ps3 native without cables.
This is great info. Glad to see they are integrating even the little features like this.

I think this is great feature on ICS. Now, I think PS3 bluetooth pad is must have to enjoy console quality gaming on ICS tablet.
Thanks for the info.
So this only works if you have the keyboard dock? Any way to use the ps3 controller if you have just the tablet?
Hmm I wonder if anyone can get this working with the pairing application for sixaxis (here)
I'm stuck since the transformer is asking for a pin ( tried 0000 and 1234 ) Maybe someone knows the pin ? Anyway to bad I dont have a dock or usb extension =(
the sixpair tool is inside /system/bin play with it and do not need the dock
now we wont games like shadowgun or riptide gp or gta3 on your tablets.
help me to request gamepad support on every new game. spam the developers of the games or not buy games that not support gamepad
Hey guys, I'm having difficulty getting my PS3 controller working with my Prime. I did the setup as listed above and under Bluetooth settings, the controller is listed as a paired device. The Bluetooth MAC address of my controller is also the same as the address of my Prime, I verified this through an application on my PC.
When plugged in via USB with Bluetooth off, the controller doesn't work until I press the PlayStation button. The LEDs will flash quickly and the controller inputs are received by my Prime. After about 10 seconds pass, the controller shuts off and no inputs are accepted.
The above behavior is exactly the same when I turn Bluetooth on as well. If I try to use it wirelessly through Bluetooth however, inputs are not received by my Prime even though it is listed as being connected under my Bluetooth settings. Again, after 10 seconds, the controller will turn off and it is no longer listed as being connected.
Doesn't make much sense to me, I'm not sure why the controller turns itself off after 10 seconds when connected via USB, and why any inputs through Bluetooth have no effect when connected.
I don't know if this makes any difference, but in the picture posted above, the PS3 controller has a joystick icon next to it under the paired devices. On my list of paired devices, it displays a keyboard.
has anyone tried this with a knockoff controller. i know the app had issues with non genuine controllers but i would love to get one fo those $15 ones for my tablet if possible.

Can you elaborate? I'm having the same problem as the poster above you. I used the Sixaxis Pair Tool to manually enter my Prime's address, the prime detects it just fine but when I try to pair it, it asks for a PIN. I'd really like to get this working without having to buy a dock or USB dongle.
Interesting! Will try it soon!
You'd still probably use the PC tool to put your Transformers MAC in the controller.

I have the same problem as you, i also have a keyboard icon. I bought my dualshock 3 on ebay, and first i thought it was faulty or something, but it did work in windows using ds3 tool.
Did you find a solution to this?
[Edit]
I believe i found out what could be the most likely cause of this on my controller, it is not a original ps3 controller.. so i guess ill just throw it in the bin, and maybe get a real one.
I wouldn't toss it. The PS3 has as a proprietary system so they should all be on the same standard.
Just use the DualShock3 program from the market to test. The latest version also allows you to map hotspots to key presses so you can play games that don't have built in button assignments.
So while it may run without it, I would still use the method we've always had. I dont see problem with requiring a 3rd party app... it worked well.

Asus Transformer - ICS
No I haven't been able to get it working natively on my device yet. I have also seen posts from other people that have this working that shows a keyboard icon instead of the joystick, so I guess that has no bearing.
Regarding the 3rd party app, I was hoping to not root my device until I get back to Canada. I am in Asia travelling right now and wish to keep everything stock until I am home in case anything happens. I do not have a laptop with me so there is no means to salvage anything should something go wrong.
And the search continues...!
I understand the travel part. Well you could always buy one from Walmart (or foreign equivalent) that you could return it too if you don't have better results.
I like the sixaxis app because it just works. It sucks to have to launch the app prior to using the controller... and I don't think it works natively in ALL games without some sort of button or screen mapping. But for emulators it is a dream.
From what you describe, the controller turns on then off, it sounds like the two aren't pairing properly or the controller doesn't see your tablet. You need to make sure you use the PC to type in the Bluetooth MAC address to the controller...... Come to think of it, the knock-off controller might not be saving the MAC address of your tablet the same way a real DualShock controller does. Your essentially hacking the controller... and the knock-off might have a different flash process entirely.
I just tried to Pair my PS3 controller to my ICS Transformer. Initially it showed the Controller when searching, then it asked for a pin. Before I could type it in, it disappeared. Now it won't even display, and the controller just flashes for a minute.

I've had my Prime give me a pin for my controller a couple times as well and ask me to input the pin on my controller, which makes no sense as this just isn't possible.
That is awesome!
I noticed that only the first analog stick actually works (I'm testing it with N64oid on my Transformer Prime), does anyone else have this issue? Perhaps a solution? Or is this just an issue with N64oid.

ive noticed that the evo 3d supports HID when i connected my bluetooth keyboard and mouse to my phone last night.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can confirm if a bluetooth gamepad, such as the MSI BGP100 will work on the Evo 3D.
Also, does anyone know of a bluetooth controller that has the same type of buttons as a playstation 1 controller that also works with the Evo 3D?
it does support HID!? YES!!! I was holding off checking because I didn't want it to sour the whole experience!!! HAHA YES!

I can confirm that the Freedom Bluetooth Keyboard works - it's a folding keyboard that you can fit in a big pocket. Also - I used the HID option on the Freedom keyboard and connected absolutely painlessly. I was also able to connect a ThinkOutside bluetooth mouse without needing any drivers.
I also own the MSI BGP100 gamepad. I can get the Evo 3D to see it as a "GAMEPAD" and I can pair them, but can't get it to "connect". No matter what I do - I see "Paired but not Connected".
If anyone has any ideas or drivers I could try - I'd be happy to report back.
Edit: I just downloaded the "bluez" gamepad driver from the market - and I'll report back on it later tonight when I get home from work.
I can now confirm that the MSI bluetooth gamepad works a treat with the bluez IME drivers you can download off of the market for free. The drivers will work for the most common bluetooth gamepads available for phones it seems.
The process is not so clear. First you pair as I stated above, just using the regular phone's bluetooth settings. Using the touchscreen keyboard, I typed 0000 to connect to my MSI gamepad.
After that, I opened up "settings" "Language and Keyboard, enabled bluez ime. Then I went into bluez IME settings on the same page. I activated bluetooth. Selected the "gamepad" I had most recently paired to. I selected the proper device driver ie "MSI Chainpus BGP 100". I selected IME, specifically ticking on the Bluez IME keyboard. This disables the touchscreen keyboard by the way. Then I configured keymapping for each of the gamepad's buttons - matching them to a standard keyboard.
After that, I went into the emulator (in this case GENSOID) - went into settings, other settings and enabled "use input method". Finaly I went into "Input Settings" and changed the key mappings for each of the emulator's buttons. At this point, the inputs should be responding to the bluetooth device's keypresses - that's how you know you've succeeded.
So far - I'm very impressed. I'd only used this bluetooth gamepad with my HTC Touch Pro (Windows Mobile 6.1). With these drivers I notice next to no lag. I played about a half hour and got no disconnections either - the signal seems strong - unlike my experience with the Touch Pro back in the day. I haven't played extensively - but it did get me through two levels of "Altered Beast" and one level of "Golden Axe".

try the phonejoy gamepad

Sweet im getting one ASAP.
If it supports HID, which it sounds like it does then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks!
Has someone tested the Wiimote with the 3D. I have one laying around somewhere and I'd rather not buy a new controller if I don't have to.
I could not get wiimote to work. I read somewhere it has something to do with the new bluetooth 3.0 not being compatible or something. In any even it would not work for me.
It's not BT 3.0, its HTC's non-stock BT stack that is the problem.
Wiimote doesnt work, however I.done remember where but someone was saying that other bluetooth gamepads have worked on the e3d!! Ill try to look and see if I can find it again
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
The one in my video on the first page of this thread will work with the Evo 3D, as will the iControlPad and Zeemote (Zeemote doesn't have enough buttons to be particularly useful however).
I have done some research and found that the only Bluetooth controller that works with the Evo 3d is the Gamestop wireless Bluetooth gamepad for tablets. I have been trying to get a hold of one but they're always in short supply or the only way you can get one is to buy a tablet and they give you a free gamepad with your purchase.

The Wiimote definitely works, but only on an AOSP gingerbread rom, like CM7. I have a backup of cm7 and everytime I want to play a game with a gamepad, I switch to that rom and connect. Works everytime. Been doing this since I had the OG evo.
Also, using a Sony Dualshock controller, the one that Sony makes, not a knock off, and using the app sixaxispairtool works flawlessly on an AOSP rom. I used to use the wiimote and the classic controller but it was just too much. Two controllers and a wire (wii) compared to just a wireless ps3 controller, the ps3 way is just easier.

I've gotten BluezIME, Game Keyboard, & Sixaxis Controller from the play store, and have been screwin with the configurations of each of these for a while...
Using Game Keyboard as default IME, I've gotten the KB Keys mapped to certain GamePad buttons, enabled "Perform touchscreen action with physical key", etc... and that, nor any other attempt has yielded any results within the game...
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks in advance...
I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.
Hello!
I recently bought a playstation 3 controller to use with my PC and emulators on my Tablet. I discovered that without root i wasn't able to fully utilize the controller on my tablet.
I got to work and rooted my tablet, bought sixaxis controller and set it up. I am now able to connect with the app and bind keys in the emulator with the app. However when i exit the key-binding menu and begin to play a game the emulator suddenly doesn't recognize any of my button presses made with the app.
I made a touch profile so that i could play but i really want to be able to play without this touch profile.
I've googled with no results for days and i now ask you, what do you think is wrong? And how can i fix it?
Which emulators are you using this with? With some of them you have to set up the bindings in the emulator app.
If you bought a cheap ps3 controller on ebay it will not work. If you buy a legit PS3 controller it will work. Common problem, aftermarket controllers have a slightly different bluetooth profile that its kind of goofy...
If you have a legit controller then it must be other settings!
Lets start from the beginning.
FIRST TIME! If its your first time pairing the controller to the tablet you need to get a USB cable and plug it into the dock.
Start up the app
press the "pair controller" button. This tells the controller which address to connect to. If you dont do this then the controller is looking for a PS3 which your tablet obviously is not.
If it is NOT your first time, or you have used the PC utility to manually change the bluetooth address on the controller
Start up the app
Press Start
Turn on the controller
Remember, you must change the IME (input) from whatever keyboard you have to sixaxis.
Once you see the message in the window say you are paired press the up down left right buttons on the ps3 controller, you SHOULD see things happen on the screen. If not you did something wrong.
If you want to use touch profiles select it from the box
If the above does not work check with the PC utility that your controller is trying to pair to the correct bluetooth address. Note sometimes the sequence is reversed - 12:23:34:45:56:67 can sometimes be 67:56:45:34:32:12. Different applications on the PC work differently.
Make sure you are using the latest LEGIT copy. If you are pirating this software it likely wont work. Check on the market you are updated to the latest version.
If all else fails, contact the developer or check the developers website. I know it works with the prime im running it on mine, works great!
Good luck!
EDIT
Re-reading OP i'd say it sounds like you forgot to change the IME. Maybe check that first

It's a real controller and i did change the IME.
I am primarily using the N64 emulator. When i map the keys without sexaxis controller installed most of the keys are named <unknow>. When i start sixaxis controller i get "DPAD_START" or something similar when i map the keys. (after enabeling the IME).
So the connecting and mapping goes perfect. But somehow when i exit the settings and start to play it wont detect the keys anymore.
It's quite late now, i will test everything again tomorrow to make sure the problem is still there. But i truly don't know what to do.
I don't know about the emulator you're using, but in NESoid, and SNESoid etc to use sixaxis with it, theres an option in menu>settings>Other settings>"Use Input Method" Enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad - This needs checked for the controller to work see if this is enabled on yours

Ya its kind of annoying because with sixaxis you can have it set for controller input, emulate keyboard, or sort of a hybrid (like the experia play does with its keys), different apps deal with these things differently, its just a matter of finding a method that works best for the app your using.
Glad to hear you got it working!

So I bought a cheap OTG cable off amazon to connect my ps3 controller to my phone. I followed all Dancing Pixel Studios' instructions and I can use my controller while its plugged in, but it won't pair through bluetooth. When I press start it connects to the controller, but after it connects I try to click pair controller and it says "No controller found - please connect it via USB cable. The cable I bought is kind of janky, it only works when I position the cable just right. I don't think the cable is the problem because I get it to connect and I keep the cable in the exact same position and click pair and still nothing. I even tried pairing it in the bluetooth menu but it just keeps pairing and pairing, and nothing happens. BTW, I am on the latest cm9 build from gray wolf with little to no issues. Any help would be awesome!!!

I've been using my PS3 controller with a Nexus 7 so it should work pretty much the same. To get it to pair through bluetooth, you must go to the dancing pixel website and download a little exe called something along the lines of bluetooth address changer or something like that. This will let you change the bluetooth address of the controller to the bluetooth address of your rezound. The controller will then pair with your phone through bluetooth. hope this helped!

If it's still not pairing I would make sure that the bluetooth address of the controller matches the one of your rezound because that happened to me the first time I tried to pair it with my nexus 7.

If I remember right it's a Bluetooth stack/ Bluetooth driver issue on the

You are correct, the only way to pair a ps3 controller on an HTC device, is to be rooted, and have an aosp, or an aokp Rom on ur phone. That's it. Plus.... You need to have an OEM ps3 controller. Any cheapo controller won't work

Hi, I'm wondering is there any way to force atrix games to work with some gamepads different than PS.
Today I installed Need For Speed Most Wanted and game is nice but it's hard to drive turning phone or on that little stering wheel.
So I have HD Dock and tried it with Xbox360 wirelles pad with original USB adapter but phone said that it's not compatibile USB device. I tried same thing with Ligitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 and there is no error message about USB Device and adapter blinking when i hit buttons but no reaction on the phone. I know i should use some emulator but none from market is working.
I don't wanna buy PS pad only to play few games so I figured that maybe somehow I can use USB keyboard to play.
So maybe someone have some emulator to remap keys on USB keyboard to work with NFS??
International Atrix, 2.3.4, non rooted, locked. Ofc I can root phone if it's needed.
I'm sure there's apps to remap keyboard.
Also try a wired Xbox controller not the wireless one and not the charge kit.

I just have Xbox360 wireless pad and Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 and I'm trying to avoid buing 3rd pad only for Atrix cause it have no sense.
Thats why I'm trying to deal somehow with what I have.
There is a guide in another forum that was posted a while back on how to edit your rom to have it read the wireless controller as a wired one and apply the same profile to it, I suggest you search for it and try it.
I tried plugging my wired Xbox 360 controller on my lapdock using CM9 (Yes it was open) but it didn't stop blinking... I don't even know if the USB supports other things than USB storage on the Atrix.
USB keyboard and usb wireless mouse working fine so it supports more than memory sticks. As I said before adapter from Logitech pad is not shows as unsupported USB device like Xbox adapter but I have no idea how force it to work. I read that most working pad emulators isn't working on Gingerbread so maybe it's the problem.
If the USB pad in question supports the HID protocol, you could be in luck. Otherwise, you're probably screwed.
Thats right, completely forgot about HID. If I'm not wrong all HID devices should work. I'll check that Logitech pad but as I remember under windows it's discoverable without any Logitech drivers so maybe it gonna works. Otherwise any tweak to remap keyboard to work with games?? I know keys can be remap from /system/... but I don't need to remap keys permanently but only for few games so it can work even on some emulator.
I'm wondering that anyone work it out how play games on external keyboard yet cause it could be very easier than typing on screen or rotating phone and now smartphones are bigger and bigger and it would be very comfortable to play on full keyboard and big screen.
It's easy to add usb support for the joystick/gamepad generic and xbox controller but you need to recompile the kernel avec joystick and xpad module.
I'm working on a keys mapper for the 360 controller and I built a kernel for that but I shared it only at french users on a other forum ...
It's only the kernel build with this source : http://sourceforge.net/projects/atrix.motorola/files/Atrix EMEA/4.5.2A-74_OLE-20/
And 2 or 3 options to get ntfs, cifs, ext4, it is not unified and I have build a little software with java 7 in french to add the command line in it with tegra part and serial as a original.
It works fine on the retail fr 2.3.4 rom.
If you want to try it : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11889182/kernel/Kernel_2.6.32.9_djeman_v1.0.rar

I don't found any good mappers for the 360 controller on the market so I'm working on mine.
If others peoples are interessed by it, I will make a translated version and a subject here.
I can confirm that my regular (not wireless) Logitech controller works fine, although not with all games.
Connected to a Lapdock.
heres what i discovered from experience.

Hi, I'm wondering is there any way to force atrix games to work with some gamepads different than PS.
Today I installed Need For Speed Most Wanted and game is nice but it's hard to drive turning phone or on that little stering wheel.
So I have HD Dock and tried it with Xbox360 wirelles pad with original USB adapter but phone said that it's not compatibile USB device. I tried same thing with Ligitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 and there is no error message about USB Device and adapter blinking when i hit buttons but no reaction on the phone. I know i should use some emulator but none from market is working.
I don't wanna buy PS pad only to play few games so I figured that maybe somehow I can use USB keyboard to play.
So maybe someone have some emulator to remap keys on USB keyboard to work with NFS??
International Atrix, 2.3.4, non rooted, locked. Ofc I can root phone if it's needed.

Custom ROM (cm9+) and stock roms ...with many kernel changes, I've always had same result.
1stly on the Atrix, unlike most tablets, the USB port doesn't give any power to the device.
I tried an otg cable with no luck so I modified it so power ran through the cable.
I also have a multimedia dock which produced the same result.
I can run and mount usb devices (storage) so I can transfer data or watch films; mounting is aided by a USB host app on the play store.
Any time something like a Xbox game pad is inserted dmesg shows it was noticed but not identified, so it doesn't look like it will work without manually adding the drivers/modules to support the device.
I have a friend with a nexus 7; Xbox control will work on that with a basic otg cable; only need to map the gamepad keys and in some cases such as emulation apps the keys are already mapped.
