Hi there,
Got my HTC One X+ last week and am glad to part of this forum.
I have some questions about the Sixaxis controller app. I am a great fan and supporter of this app and have used it on all my android devices.
First off... I understand its not compatible with the HOX+ or many other HTC Devices because of the way HTC configure their Bluetooth drivers. However.... See this video of the HOX using the Sixaxis Controller app.
One of he main reasons I got the HOX+ was because of this video. I was really surprised to learn its not compatible!! Did HTC use different drivers on these devices?
So my question is... How can we / very talented devs make it work? Will running a different ROM or Kernel provide the right drivers?
Can the drivers from the HOX be flashed onto the HOX+?
Devs... Any ideas?
Oops. Ok ok ok. Before the flaming starts... I did do a search and got nothing... i have just done another and seen that a similar question has already been asked. I think it may be because my 'a' key is missing off my laptop keyboard and searched the wrong phrase.... (sixxis)
Anyways, My question still stands... Is there a way to use the BT drivers from the HOX?
Or. Is there another ROM or Kernel we can use?
Thanks
HTC devices are missing certain blutooth protocols that prevent sixaxis from working. Maybe CM will fix this. But i believe some people has reported it does not.
Why not buy a OTG cable and connect via USB?

Sure, I'll get a usb cable But will that still let me use the Sixaxis app?
Does the HOX+ have native gamepad support? So we can play shadowgun, dead trigger, GTA etc with our controllers?
So I'm also still interested in finding out if its possible to somehow port over the HOX Bluetooth protocols to the HOX+... I'm no dev, but would that be possible? .... What is a protocol?

You dont need sixaxis if you connect wired. Android has drivers for ps3 and 360 controllers. So it's plug n play pretty much

Did you have it working with a sense rom? It's a common issue with most HTC devices afaik.

I had issues pairing with it but I could just use my nexus 7 and enter in the Bluetooth address to my one xl to pair the controller and it worked fine
If I can find my otg cable I'll test it on this phone

It's true that they won't pair with the sixaxis app.
I don't have a usb cable so I can't test that way.
With my transformer prime I could connect with usb and then pair via blue tooth to play shadow gun etc... Native game pad support.
I really miss the sixaxis app for gaming. The video in the first post shows it working on the HOX. I guess the question I'm asking again is can the bluetooth protocols from the HOX be ported over to the HOX+?
There must be a way to get this working on the HOX.
Please tell me if I'm way off track but can this be done? Come on devs put me out my misery!

Use your prime to pair your hox, in the sixaxis app there's an option to pair manually. Open that up and erase the Bluetooth address.
Open the app on you hox to get its address, and enter the Bluetooth address from your hox in you prime and hit pair
Then the sixaxis controller will be paired with your hox.
Its a pain but it works
Slithered from my HTC One X+ running Viper XL+
Yeah, I know I can pair it manually either with a pc or on my Prime, but the issues still remains that the Sixaxis app won't start the Bluetooth drivers and therefore will never connect to the controller.
I've been researching and apparently you can port over the normal Android Bluetooth bits but it breaks HTC Sense. :banghead:
So back to the beginning... Sixaxis works on the HOX, so the HOX must have compatible Bluetooth protocols... Can one of the talented Dev's here get the Bluetooth bits from the HOX over to the HOX+?

You do if you want to create Maps for games that do not have native game pad support. Like MW4, Batman, etc...

I, too, am having problems getting the sixaxis app to work.
Is there a workaround of any kind or will we just have to wait for a custom rom that fixes the issue?
any one has any fix? my ps3 controler bluetooth mac adress is stuck at 00:00:00:00:00:00 i can't change it. and wil only work wired with ps3 (normal its a unoficiel) but on my android phone. gs3 it conects i play gta san, but than controler goes off. i need to unplug it and pres home buton and plug back in and it works 10sec. and its gone again..

I have read that the bluetooth stack is not same as og evo. I am curious if anyone had info on this. If it its true it might and I stress might allow us to use bt devices such as wii or ps3 controllers. Now with full hdmi mirroring this could make for the ultimate gaming phone for those into emulation. What are ur thoughts?

i use a wiimote on my evo4g now. Just have to run an AOSP rom not SENSE.
I love the idea of emulating from my phone like I do now, playing Final Fantasy 3/6, 7, Tactics with a wiimote is already epic on the phone, couldn't imagine on a huge TV so easily now too. I ned a tv worth it though.
I have not found any custom roms I trust enough to void my warranty for. I have ran cm6 and cm7 and I did like them but as many phones as I have went through especially my hero last year ill stick with stock sense and hope evo 3d will allow such bt devices such as wii or ps3 remotes to work
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
what does the thread title and the OP have to do with each other?
The Evo 4G supports bluetooth profiles like A2DP for wireless stereo headsets, and FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfers. But when it comes to connecting an interface device, it does not support bluetooth HID (human interface device) profiles. It only supports SPP (serial port protocal).
Which is why things like the MSI BGP100, and the FreedomPro Keyboard work with it. Both of these devices use SPP bluetooth profiles. Drivers were created and released in the market, and a stock Evo 4G can connect to these.
Everyone blamed the HTC Sense interface for why we couldn't connect HID devices, (Wii Mote, and several keyboards, mice, etc). Which is why the OP mentions Sense 3D, because he still thinks it was sense that did it. It wasn't actually Sense that did it. HTC just never built bluetooth HID profiles into the phone.
AOSP roms don't have sense, but they are also built from ground 0, so they have HID profiles built into them. A lot of people have mistakenly thought that it was taking Sense completely out, that brought bluetooth HID back in, but it was really just coincidence.
For example, iPhones don't come with HID profiles, but someone in Cydia released an app that alters the bluetooth stack for you, and adds additional profiles. Theoretically, someone could have done this for the Evo 4G, but no one has yet.
That being said, I have seen several sites, including HTC's own, showing bluetooth HID under the specs for the Evo 3D. This isn't something I was ever able to find for the Evo 4G.
Don't quote me on it, but I am banking on all the WiiMote apps, bluetooth keyboard apps, and any other bluetooth input device, working properly with the Evo 3D right out of the box.
Thank you bradley. that is exactly what I was curious about. u answered my question and educated me at same time. that was much appreciated.

No problem. If you get a chance, hit my thanks button.
Hi all,
I was searching the forums, but didn't see a clear answer to this:
Will Sense 3.0 correct the known bluetooth stack issues? (Wiimote's not connecting.) If not, does anyone know if HTC is planning on correcting the issues in an update? If not....does anyone know where we could petition HTC to do so?
Are there any TB ROMs, other than CM7, that work with the Wiimote now?
Thank you!
What does a Wiimote do on a phone?

yes, most emulators like snes9xEX for instance allow you to use the wii controller. It's really a great feature. However it's incompatible with the Sense bluetooth drivers, so it doesn't work with HTC phones.
Hopefully someone knows the answer to at least one of those questions. Basf m just released a sense 3 rom. I'll have to try that

I too was very interested to know this. I just tested it on an HTC Sensation, and I'm extremely sad to say that it does not work. I really wish HTC would fix this but I don't have my hopes up.
Cheers.
Anyone know a good bluetooth substitute we could use instead of a wii mote?
Just to clarify, the wii mote stuff works fine on my TB with CM7...but data and wifi don't...
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
i used CM7 when i wanted to sync my wiimote. i dont think your gonna have much luck with syncing it to a sense rom though.
Bluetooth is borked on sense in general A2DP has dropping issues and it has issues syncing phonebook data to car bluetooth systems. Cm7 / aosp does not have these issues.

I installed wiicontroller just to test on VirusROM 6/23 build w/Sense 3.0 and it's a no go. I love Sense 3.0, but the fact that this is possible SixAxis controller makes me want to switch back to CM7. That's so bada$$ to whip out your Dual Shock controller and play Street Fighter. On another note, I highly recommend using FPSE. Let me know if you want the APK.
No, even on the 3d which has the improved BT3 stack the drivers are not there to connect to PS3, controllers etc.
Is there any kind of gamepad solution for the Evo 3D that is confirmed to work? I don't care if I have to purchase a new product, but I would like a way to use either a bluetooth or USB gamepad.
I know the HTC BT Stack lacks support for the Wii remote and PS3 controllers.
Just looking for some input from other Evo 3D owners before I end up wasting my time and money on something that will not work.
You have an option of going to an AOSP rom and using it on there? it works on all bt devices i tested it with a wii mote w/classic controller

Alas, there is not, the only way to get a pad working is to have a stock rom, then connect a pad via usb, wiimotes and ps3 pads work very well indeed, but with sense roms the bluetooth stack isn't compatible with pads, due to sense and it's bluetooth limitations, HID USB i think it is, basically devices can't be used as peripherals, including pads.
I'm in the same boat m8, watching my mate on his Gal nexus whilst i'm slumming it on a touchscreen pad is just a kick in the teeth, i do believe no one has ever gotten a pad to work over bluetooth on any device using sense.
Get Gannii's stock ICS rom when they fix the bluetooth and your golden, the camera doesn't work yet tho either

I think I'm going to go with the iControlPad. From what I've read it's compatible with HTC Sense when using BluezIME, has dual analog sticks and a clip-holder to hold the phone as a screen. Sure, it's $70, but comfort is important when gaming.

I like that the iControlpad comes with a little clip mounting system that makes it feel more like a real handheld gaming device. I don't like the idea of having to prop my screen up somewhere and warp my neck to squeeze in a little gaming
Although I might buy one to have a 2nd controller for when I get my HDMI adapter
I'm using a PS3 Bluetooth controller and it works great. Just get the sixaxis pair app and you are good to go.

I have an HTC EVO 3D and do not want to root my phone, so that is not an option
Any other controllers out there that doesn't require root access?
Currently I have an E4GT, and my BT works great. I can connect my S9-HDs, PS3 controller, wii-mote without a hitch.
This wasn't the case with my OGEvo, the audio would cut in and out, and I couldn't connect any controllers without being on CM.
Is there any info about the BT stack on the 4G LTE? I'm asking here because I assume that it's different that in the OneX, if I'm incorrect let me know and I'll ask over there.
It looks like it has many more profiles then og 4G. I saw some has a wiimote paired with one x (although it is laggy)

I think they'll probably have the same stack. WiiMotes work fine with my One X, I didn't have trouble with latency. My Phonejoy also works fine. PS3 controllers work with Root via Sixaxis app, although I'm presently locked to stock while reviewing the handset for Telecom NZ, so haven't personally confirmed that.
Bluetooth audio should be much better, since BT 4.0 has much higher bandwidth for audio streaming (although the receiving device may end up being the bottle neck). If you have a receiving device that is also Apt-X capable then the audio will be excellent, basically the same as wired up to around 370kbps (the Samsung HS3000 is cheap, versatile, and has Apt-X).

This is what the build.prop from the latest Jewel leak says:
Code:
# system property for Bluetooth Hardware information
ro.product.bluetooth=4.0
That suggests BT 4.0 to me.
Hope my icontrolpad works with it. From these comments it looks like it should. I like stock but a huge reason I want this phone is to run emulators on that awesome screen and have it propped up nice on that kickstand during my lunch hour.
I've already bought the Sixaxis app from the Play Store as I use that with my PS3 controller on my Prime. Would be great if it really does work on the Evo LTE as I wouldn't even have to spend any more cash.

Hello all. I'm trying to get my Xbox 360 Controller working with my HTC EVO 3D. I bought a mini usb to female usb so I can hook both things together--but the indicator lights on my controller does not work. It is running Android version 2.3.4 and HTC Sense version 3.0. I'd like to know if there is a way to get these two paired and working with the app OnLive. Thanks.
Edit: So I ordered a PS3 controller. I'm very new to this stuff, so can someone explain how to get a PS3 controller paired with my phone for OnLive and explain how to root it? Once again, thank you guys so much.
You can't do it.
Microsoft requires certain drivers, and so you'd need the drivers on Android.
Ps3, however, is a different story. I've used a ps3 controller with onlive without problems.
