Hello, I have just installed a 4.1.1 rom to my galaxy tab 10.1 LTE (sch-i905) and I am wondering how to add game support to it. when I was at 3.2 I simply insmod'ed ff-memless.ko and xpad.ko but now that I have updated to jb, how can I get gamepad support?
Thank you
Depends on your controller. Some you can simply just connect, but others you may have to use a market app to connect or get gamepad status. (for example, a Wii Remote or a PS3 Remote).

I recently read an article stating that Honeycomb 3.1 can connect to an Xbox 360 controller. This is possible due to an "open accessory API." I was wondering if it was possible to rip this API from Android 3.1 and implement it into a custom rom.
I would like to hear from anybody who thinks this is possible and would like to have this feature in a rom. My personal reason for wanting this is for use in emulators such as N64oid, FPse, and Gameboid.
Yea this would most def be nice very cool we need it the very much hatedby me i phone has this option to use wii motes
Wii remotes are cool and all but the overall handling of an Xbox controller would be awesome
what about a ps3 remote?
Seems like it's available in Gingerbread according to faux's thread...
3.A new USB accessory Chat support is added (hm... I wonder what types of USB Chat accessories )
4. USB HOST support in the now officially in framework
USB chat must be the thing google showed the N1 or NS doing at one of the I/O events. And PS3 controller should work too since xbox+wii work, maybe ps3 can be fixed to work thru BT.
I want the ps3 remote because I'm so use to it but after searching through xda I found that it currently wasn't possible. I only brought up the Xbox controller because it is a known fact that it is possible on android 3.1
Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.
i was wondering if the icontrolpad bluetooth game controller from the openpandora team works with the galaxy wifi 4.0 us version. To have emulators and better controls this would be the main reason for buying this device and i was wondering if anyone has tested it yet.
i don't see any reason it wouldn't work. if you already own a ps3 or wii controller i would recommend trying those first.
i have my ps3 controller paired with my nook color all the time, and it works great. i haven't tried it on the galaxy player 5.0 yet.
How can I get Xbox 360 wired controller gamepad support for galaxy tab 10.1 running cm10?
Hi, I would ask this question dirrectly in thor gapps thread, but this is my 1st post.
The q is, if I will install latest Thor Gapps from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585690 , will i be able to install ps3 controller apps from gmarket( like Sixaxis Controller ), and will ps3 controller work on my kf hdx7" ?

most android apps can work in the HDX with the Fireos, eventhough the Gapps isn't in it , You can use ESexplorer do the googleplay's job. So I guess you can use the Sixaxia Controller app.
I know, this is how i launched psp emulator and others. But sixaxis app is strictly binded to google play. Maybe someone has an experience whitch particular controller works with hdx?

I've tried Sixaxis on the gapps rom... Unfortunately, I was unable to pair my PS3 Dualshock controller.
According to an Amazon post, Bluetooth gamepads are not supported on the HDX (unless they have a keyboard mode):
The problem with both of those is that even with Android 4.0.x the Fire OS still has host mode disabled on the USB port and only implements part of the HID protocol in the Bluetooth stack. Unless it looks like a Bluetooth keyboard the Fire is not going to talk to it.
Well, is there any controller, that will suite this requirment? Or is it hard to develop some kind of bridge between some abstrack bluetooth keyboard and real controller? I' am little experienced with .Net development, but never tried anything mobile. I' ll make little research about this.
