Hello,
i just want to ask if its possible to pair wiimote with stock ICS rom for SGSII, as in previous versions of roms this was unable due TouchWiz, what is mentioned in wiimote applications on Google play.
I tested it by myself and result is :
Phone itself detect Wii mote and display it as Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 with game controller icon, but when i try to pair device it asks for PIN which is empty, Wiimote doesnt need PIN when pairing with PC, its just Android problem that device withould PIN cannot be paired. There is probably no way to skip PIN enter dialog.
I also tried WiimoteController and RWiimote from Google play, none of them worked.
RWiimote detects controller but show same pairing dialog to enter PIN
WiimoteController doesnt detect controller at all
For example i tried my Logitech DiNovo Edge bluetooth keyboard and it worked well, device paired withould any problems.
Tested rom : stock I9100XXLPQ

Kudos for testing it yourself.
Probably still has the same issue with the Samsung bluetooth stack in ICS that Gingerbread had. Sounds like Samsung didn't change this between Gingerbread and ICS.
I don't have ICS installed yet, so I can't say for sure if it will work for ICS, but SixAxis works on stock Samsung GB firmwares. The SixAxis app was updated late 2011 to work with the Samsung bluetooth stack using a tunneling protocol workaround.
I've tested and gamed plenty of SNES and PSX games using my PS3 controller on my phone, plugged into my TV via MHL.
Im do not own PS3 and its controller and im not planning to buy one in near future.
Anyway i still have no luck with wiimote, tested FoxHound ICS rom and same behaviour as with stock rom, phone keeps asking for pin when pairing wiimote.

Isn't Fox Hound based on stock? If so, then it will use the same bluetooth stack, and have the same issue.
As of now your only hope for WiiMote to work is to go with an AOSP ROM, like CM9. Or any other AOSP based ROM.
Or, buy a ps3 controller for $30-40 and use SixAxis.
With CM9 nightlies getting cleaner and cleaner, is it possible that this is soon work?

So I bought yesterday a ps3 controller for my TF
But when I tried to pair between them its keep telling me
to enter a passkey in the controller....how the hell I can
enter a passkey with a gamepad
I tried with sixaxis but its still does not work
Can someone please help me
By default usually 0000 or 1234, or you can use Sixaxis Controller is better
PS3 controllers only shares its passkey over usb connection. Once you connect it once over usb it will pair again in the future. (Its the reason the PS3 system always tells you to connect the controller via usb)
download and run the sixaxis pair tool here: http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
connect your ps3 gamepad via usb to a pc, and change the bluetooth address in the program to the one you have on your tf (search for bluetooth address finder in play store if you don't know your tf's bt mac address).
After it has completed the pair process, just turn on bt on the tf, and press the ps button on your gamepad. It should work.
I just got my tab today and was wondering does the controller connects via bluetooth w/ this app and doesnt matter what ROM youre on.
I know how to use it cause i use it w/ my phone to play ff7 w/ fpse and shadowgun, just wanted to makesure i can with this tab

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
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA
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

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.

Yep, just double checked it and it is exactly the same... this is annoying. I appreciate your help thus far though.
update: I just connected my controller to my phone, opened sixaxis app and pressed Start and it found the controller right away, so I pressed Change IME and chose ps3 controller and I used the d-pad and square to choose pair controller and click pair. It still said no controller found. Bahahaha!!!!

Hahaha nice, a faulty app! Glad I could help
If I remember right it's a Bluetooth stack/ Bluetooth driver issue on the
Rezound and other Sense phones. I believe there are some Non-Sense Roms that have the correct Stack/driver that will fix the issue but I can't remember which ones they are sorry. Also have you tried Wii remote? That works for me even on Sense Roms.

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

I seen a few posts where people have managed to sync their ps3 controller with the six axis controller app. For the live of me I tried a few builds of Android and none of them allow me to sync the controller to bluetooth. At this point for those who got it to work or use it frequently, what version of your rom are you using? Do you know any app that allows you to change bluetooth mac address on the android device or Touchpad Rom? Let me know because I have troubleshooting steps that I need to try that require me to change the bluetooth mac address on the hp touchpad but all the instructions I have found have not helped me because the folder structure described is not consistent with what is in my folder. I thank you ahead all of you ahead of time because I value your help, and I apologize if I have missed something during my extensive research.
HP TOUCHPAD
version of android: update-cm-10.1-20131121-SNAPSHOT-BLUETOOTH-tenderloin 4.2.2
Bluetooth turns on and it works just fine with this version.
The PS3 controller doesnt connect to Android by itself. This is the only way I have done it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
The problem is that I have done everything in the instructions, downloaded the pairing app, and change the mac per what the app shows in android. I already installed and downloaded the app but it won't pair regardless. I seen a few resolutions to changing the hp touchpad address to the bluetooth address used in motion joy.
If it has worked for you and is still working for you in the hp touchpad let me know what rom you are using to try and see if its rom related. I am using an original ps3 controller that syncs to motion joy with no issues, and has synced before just fine. I used the pairing tool to load the mac address of the hp touchpad into the ps3 controller and it doesn't pair with the hp touchpad. I managed to pair other devices through bluetooth. If anyone can help I'll appreciated it.

I'm not using a ROM with Bluetooth right now. But it should work if bluetooth is working for you. Did you switch the input method to sixaxis controller instead of the keyboard?

I'm also at the same point as you in my efforts to pair a PS3 controller to my Touchpad. I only just got my own OTG cable so I was hoping with only a little effort I could get it working. At this point it's a bit frustrating; like you I've apparently changed the MAC address to the same as the Touchpad but the Sixaxis utility just keeps on "listening for devices" and the controller just blinks.
I am not using the latest build though.. it's actually 4 months old now, but I did install it because I thought the Bluetooth worked: 10.1-20130808-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-BLUETOOTH_TEST
I probably should update my ROM.
I posted about this a while back. GL
