I tried the new Sixaxiss application and it works perfect.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader anymore thanks to Bin4ry.
Now you can root your device with simple method.
Bin4ry's Rooting Guide
Download the Sixaxiss Pairing Tool and change the bluetooth address to your phones bluetooth address Using the Computer

Will this work on Xperia Arc GB,with doomkernel v22???I'm thinking of buying joystick so thats why i'm asking.Tnx for sharing this
Dude. You're in a forum for Xperia Sola, Xperia Go, Xperia U and Xperia P. Go ask in a Xperia Arc thread.
haha no issues bro, it will work for sure cause you have unlocked your bootloader and rooted your phone,
so Purchase the app and buy the ps3 controller if you don't have one too.
happy gaming
It should work with any rooted, android phone but in most cases you'll need a PC to pair the controller with your device unless you have an USB On-The-Go enabled smartphone (like Xperia U for example, and it seems like Arc too), then you can pair by just connecting the controller to the phone

Hi guys, new Xperia S owner as of today. Was wondering if there is any way to force the PS3 controller to connect to the S via bluetooth, since I have a way to edit the MAC address that the PS3 controller will be paired with.
Basically, I need a way to add the PS3 controller manually to the phone, since it doesn't see it.
Or alternatively, maybe what I'm doing is pointless, since I don't even know if 2.3.7 has the drivers needed =)

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

THANK YOU!
In "other settings" i just had to click that. ****ing awesome m8 Thanks
No prob man I figured thats what it might be frustrated the hell out of me too

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!
Thank you
I only rooted to use the controller, I was getting frustrated

Is it possible to use a PS3 controller without root? I already have the SixaxisPairTool, but it only works with root.
I used to own a TF101 and would just plug the PS3 controller straight into the dock thru usb or turn bluetooth on and it would work fine. Albeit that was probably because of the ICS drivers, but is this possible?
I can't understand why the Wii Remote is possible without root, the app basically makes the wiimote into a bluetooth keyboard, why can't the same be done with a PS3 controller without root?

I have a guide for the ps3 controller hack in my signature. But the app you mentioned is the same one in the guide is only for ROOT access. I have it written for a Samsung Galaxy SIII. So keep those two things in mind when reading the guide.
Root is a must for this hack for any phone.

Hello Guys!
I hope somebody can help me with this problem.
I want to use my xbox360 wireless controller with my Honor 7, but after I've updated to the newest B170 firmware, I don't get any recognition in games.
On B140 I was able to control the UI with my controller, but now nothing happens. I think they forgot to implement the support for xbox controllers...
Is anybody out there who can try to use his/her xbox wireless controller?
And is there any way to inform Honor about this bug?
I would not like to see this bug in marshmallow too...
best wishes
sebster97

Huh!? xbox360 doesnt use bluetooth so how did you make it to sync with the phone?

I used my USB-OTG cable to connect my phone with the xbox 360 usb receiver.
It's the same device I plug into my pc to play games with my wireless controller
Hey, I have an answer to this,
1. You need an app called USB/BT JoyCenter Free. Download the apk somewhere online. I'm using version 3.0100
2. Plug in your XBOX360 wireless to your phone using the USB OTG adapter.
3. Open the app, inside, top left, switch the IME to ON and choose the USBJoyFreeIME as your input methods
4. In the app, click on SEARCH NORM and it will start scanning for the controller. When it scans just click on the box that appears. Your controller should connect to your phone now.
Apps that are suitable would be emulators, I normally use this method for PPSSPP emulator. Hope this helps
The question is very simple: how can i connect the dual shock 3 controller to my m4 aqua. A simple way please i'm a noob...
Didn't try this on the M4, but worked on my previous phone. You first need to pair the controller to your bt's MAC address of your phone, this can be done by connecting the controller to a PC with the appropriate tool (motioninjoy provides it, search on Google). Then, in the M4 install the sixaxis controller app (has both free and paid version) and follow the instructions, it's easy, not much more that pressing the controller's button after running the app. Hope this helps
Thanks mate!! It works!!
