Hi,
I am interested in gaming over my imito mx1 android tv stick, but unfortunately the rom is not installed with the required touch screen drivers! so we can't use six axis or gamekeyboard applications for games emulation
so I searched and think about any other temporary solutions to play but non of them had all what I want!
For example:
1) PS3 controller & Xbox is restricted to some games like gta, shadow gun, sonic episode II..
2) Droidmote also work for some with addition of some accelerometer games "although it didn't work on my xperia play but work with the mk808 remote application! I didn't know why" . But in overall, I am not comfortable to play with touch game pad, hard buttons is the best! ( Yes I know that I can use my xperia play game pad to play as an option in the droidmote but as I said this is for some games, not all)
3) Moga game pad is a good temporary solution I think because it can play some extra cool gameloft games, so I am thinking to buy one!
4) Off course, the best solution is to wait a "Hero Developer" how can introduce a new rom with implemented touch drivers!!!
But untill that time, I tried another solution that to make some configuration in the keylayout fils of the PS3 controller to emulate the keylayout of my xperia play, so by that I think that I will be able to control all xperia play optimized games on my imito mx1!! BUT OFF COURSE I DIDN'T SUCCEED BECAUSE OF MY RESTRICTED KNOWLEDGE IN THIS FIELD
So, I need your help and suggestions!
Thank you.

with the last versions of DroidMote Client and DroidMote Server, when you connect your hardware controller to the device with DroidMOte Client installed, you forwards the command of the hardware controller to DroidMote Server.
In this mode you can play also with all android multi-touch games with your hardware controller.
and with your harddware controller, you can press all buttons and axis simultaneously. (many touch points at server side.)
look the DroidMote Forum to understand all about DroidMote
with the same technique, and DroidMote Server for windows, you can play also all multi-touch windows 8 games
bye bye and look this:

Thank you for rresponse, I appreciate that and also I am appreciating your great application, but we still talking about many other games that not recognize all needed inputs from the droidmote client or in general from other gamepads like PS3 or Xbox !!
I want to know the real name of action of my xperia play buttons to use it for configuration other keylayout controller,
so for example, when I press x button in my xperia play with scan code 304 or circle button with scan code 305, this make the avater in gangstar rio jumb or chang weapons!!
becuase I put d pad center for the x button and back for circle button as a names function but with no success!!
thank you.

this are all keyevent:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
and you must create / customize your keylayout in /system/usr/keylayout in this mode:
http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html
this is the same way you personalize DroidMote configurations file /system/usr/keylayout/droidmote.kl
if a game support a controller or a keyboard, you can do all that you want. with the keylayouts.
if not support keyboard or conttrollers you must use a touch profile.
this is valid for all, DroidMote, ps3 controller, xbox 360 controller and xperia play hardware controls.
Now, after long time of trying almost all common function keys, it seems nothing can control the gangstar rio as my experimental game! so by pressing all these keys, I can't get any movement after its installation on my imito mx1 android TV stick, although the same version is installed on my xperia play and it is fully customized on its gamepad.
So my question is, why I can fully control this game on my xperia play and can't get any movement with the same version installed on my imito mx1 tv stick?
Other question, is it possible to customize a game to work on a specific gamepad ( not a gamepad on specific game)
Thank you

Since there are many games that have this tag "Supports Xperia Play". I was wondering that if it would be possible to map the Xperia Play keys in Sixaxis controller so that we would be able to use our BT controllers to play those games that support xperia play controls.
Go to 'Preferences->Input Mappings->1st Controller mappings'. All the Xperia Play button mappings are at the bottom of the list and start from 'BUTTON_A' onwards.
Unfortunately games that require the touch pad will not be playable.
In a couple of weeks I will be adding support for 'touch emulation', which will allow you to create profiles that map from buttons to positions on the touch screen (including the analog sticks - N.O.V.A anyone?). Great what you can do with root access!
That would be great. Just one question. When I checked my device bluetooth mac address while bluetooth is on, it is different from the one that is shown by your app. Using the pc app to set the master control to the sixaxis controlled mac address does not seem to work.

The address shown in the app is the one to use. If that isn't working, I would suspect you may not be using an original Sony controller.

Yeah I think it is not an original one. Ordered from eBay but it looks like an original and is packed like one too

Downloaded a copy of Nova 2 for the Xperia Play
Mapped Sixaxis (0.3.1) to keys i thought would work
Playing Nova 2, (Up = right, Right = down, Down = Left, Left = Up FYI)
however i cant for the life of me figure out which buttons are for fire, etc. None of the other buttons seem to work to map the xperia play controls. Theres lots of xperia play games that already are looking for controller inputs, there should be an "xperia" profile that automatically sets all the default controls so we can play those xperia optimized games.

looking for a bluez ime profile myself ........ you would think someone has one?!
What about NOVA 2 HD? I cant get that working.
Anyone figure this out? I want to play nova and modern combat using my dualshock controller cause the touchpads suck. I just want the dualshock to mirror what the xperia controls do.

same here +1
would make it much easier. and gameplay would be better.
Well, first off, let me introduce myself, i used to be a apple user since the ipod nano 1g(got ipod touch 1st gen, iphone 2g, 3g, 3gs, 4, ipad 1, etc) but afer buying the galaxy S2, there is no turning back...Simply amazing hahah
Well, my idea is:
I can play using sixaxis controller on some games like emulators, etc...
BUT
What if we find a way to make Xperia optimized games to run on our galaxy s2 and achieve a way to map his buttons? We can build a dock on top of a play3 controller and we will have a homemade galaxy play haha
Just a idea, i dont have any knowledge regarding android systems...Would be great someone to shine a light on this...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my brazilian english hehe =)
uhmmm, most of the xperia play games can already be played on the sgs2 and even more cool games can be played on it that d not run on the play.
so i assume that there is hardly any common need for your request
I think playing is a lot better with REAL buttons than in screen gestures...I think you didnt read or just ignored what i said...
Anyway, Sixaxis got a upgrade and now its possible to map touchscreen gestures to the controller...one of the best apps ive ever bought...
But i'm still interested in what i'm saying...its not as accurate as xperia play...
you mean you want to play games on the sgs2 4,3" screen using a normal sixaxis controller?
Buy the sixaxis controller on the market, it let's you replace de touchscreen buttons by the buttons on your sixaxis controller, you just need to make a profile to every game you need, it even let's you give a button the swipe move, its a great feature

Really? Now read my second post.
@Topic
I'm willing to donate to whoever does this kind of port properly...
Dude I don't really understand what you mean.
Those ganes can already be played as the other guy said, and you can connect a sixaxis controller via bluetooth so what do you mean? You want the sixaxis wired into the phone permanently? What's the point? -it's be massive.
Just make a sixaxis game gripper out of thermal setting plastic or something ;p
Ohhhh I now see what you mean, I've been looking for a way to map sixaxis buttons to play buttons..
That way the buttons would work a lot better and you wouldn't need to coonstantly alter the keymap for different games..
In the sixaxis controller key settings it does have buttons like l2 and r2 but I don't know why, haven't tried them because the other buttons like square, circle etc aren't there.....
Your statement about the xperia games being playable on other android devices is false. That's what he means. I just downloaded a fighting game that was designed for the play, onto my infuse 4g and it recognizes nothing when I touch the screen. This is his idea. To get the sixaxis to work for these games in particular. If I'm wrong please say so. But so far as i can tell there are some games that are xperia play only, and those are the games he is talking about.
UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY (LIKE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR)
Sir_earl (Sixaxis App Developer) has just released an update to his popular app Sixaxis Controller. The update brings "Native Gamepad" support over Bluetooth with the PS3 Sixaxis/Dualshock controller. This means a USB OTG setup is no longer needed to enjoy games with gamepad support such as Shadowgun and GTA III.
Gamepad Mode can be enabled by doing the following steps:
1. Purchase Sixaxis Controller from the Google Android Market. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
2. Configure the app to allow it to connect to your Touchpad by using the Sixaxispairtool from the developers Website. http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html (This is only needed once)
3. Sync the sixaxis controller by pressing "Start" in the sixaxis controller app and pressing the Power button on the Controller.
4. If you are on ICS, press the Action button on the top right to go to the preferences Menu.
5. Select Gamepad on the top and enable it on the next screen.
6. Modify the button mappings to your liking. (Optional)
Games like Shadowgun and Riptide GP need the controls mapped in their respective settings menu.
.GTA III is ready out out of the box. Enjoy guys! Now get to emailing your favorite game developers and tell them to add native gamepad support!
List of games with full or partial gamepad support.
(Full) Shadowgun.
(Full) GTA III
(Full) Riptide GP
(Partial) Shine Runners (Can't control Menus)
(Partial) Cordy (Menus)
(Partial) Sleepy Jack (Menus)
(Partial) Reckless Racing and Reckless Getaway (Menus)
(Partial) Muffin Knight (LOLWUT)
BTW Guys this will only work on Android 3.1+. So that means this is a no go on CM7.
CM7 didn't have native support. That is where sixaxis App will help you to pair PS3 controller with touchpad. So 3.1+ is not a mandatory requirement.

By native support the OP means making Android regard the sixaxis as a normal gamepad and not as a hw keyboard.
I've been bouncing around everywhere trying to creak this nut. Figured here would be a good place to ask. Playing sky gamblers, it recognizes the gamepad and allows mapping of buttons, however some are still tied to back and menu buttons. Re mapping dosn't seem to solve this. Does anyone know of a workaround? Using galaxy note 3 and sixaxis software with ps3 controller.
Fixed: ended up re mapping controls to read as l3 and r3...works great...though if I bump sticks I fire mg or flare...lol
I can't get this to work with Milaq or Invisiblek's CM11 ROMs.
I followed the process using my phone, running CM11 and it worked flawlessly, but on the touchpad the controller just keeps blinking and never connects. Any suggestions?
YES, I've searched the forums.
NO, nobody is talking about key mappings for this game.
Yeah, I'm sick of those fingerprints all over my tablet screen.
Yeah, I want to play SG: DZ but when I have time, my Android tablet - Transformer TF101 - is begging for a recharge, and I don't want to hold my tablet with my hands while it recharges and game; I'd prefer leave it charging next to the wall while it stands there on my tablet stand and then use my Phonejoy Bluetooth controller and play. Much better. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, have played Shadowgun and the Leftover series with this controller, it's compatible and now Madfinger releases DeadZone.. I think they tweaked the game and/or changed the button configuration - Using my controller all I can do is walk around with my left analog stick and look around with my right analog stick. No shooting, no running, no reloading, no switching weapons. nada. I DO NOT want to root my tablet just to emulate touch controls. I believe that's a waste of time and too much of a headache for this function. And NO, I'm not going to buy a PS3 controller, that would require me to buy Sixaxis and that app requires root. I believe NYKO is going to release their final version of Playground app yet this year and that app promises to emulate touch controls without asking for root. If that's true, I might buy their Playpad controller but until then, i'm sticking with this Phonejoy Bluetooth controller for now.
So I came here to ask you guys, if anyone here managed to make this controller to work with Shadowgun: DeadZone, please post the key maps for this game here and I'll try it; It doesn't matter if your controller is a Wii-mote, a PS3, whatever, if you managed to make it work using your controller and Bluez-IME, please post here the key maps for this game.
Any suggestion is much appreciated.
All the best.
NOTE FOR ADMINS: I'm NOT asking whether the controller works or not!!! As I said before, my controller works PARTIALLY (ONLY my analog stick do work, not my buttons), so I'm looking for suggestions to set up my buttons. This thread is NOT a question! I'm not breaking any rules here.
In the same boat
Yip, I've got the same problem. I am actualy very suprised about how few games have IME keybard options. I've looked at the Android Event API, and there is a good reason that you have to be root to get the other touch screen emulaters to work. Android doesn't want malicious apps to take control of your device and does not allow fake touch screen events from the Java api. You have to be a device (linux level) to do that, and that's why you need root.
I tried to generate the same events as a PS3 controller by fiddling with the Bluez IME source code, but android overrides certain flags on the events, which makes it impossible to emulate it via standard Java software.
hope this helps...
Is there anyone that has found a solution for using a game controller (PS3, PS4, XBOX ONE, ect) to emulate touch controls for touch screen only games? I know I have rooted my installation and attempted to install the sixaxis app, since I had already bought it for one of my previous devices, but it always fails to configure Bluetooth. Are there any apps out there that can accomplish this that we currently know are working with this wonderful os...?
I tried 2 bluetooth gamepads made for Android, one of them can use the D-pad and ABXY in system but doesnt work in game, another gamepad doesn't work at all
Hope they fix/add support for gamepad soon so we can enjoy games on pc/laptop with no touchscreen support (I really wanted to play Implosion).
Try GameKeyboard +
I use it to emulate onscreen the physical gamepad to play nvidia shield exclusive Portal on Xiaomi Mi3, but I also see options to map physical gamepad or keyboard or even mice; might you find it useful.

Use "Sixaxis Enabler" from the playstore. Works fine for me.

I'll give this and game keyboard a try... With sixaxis enabler, it sounds like all it does is make android recognize it as an android controller. If that is correct, then I don't need that due to the fact that remix os recognizes it as a controller just by plugging it in, but I need touchscreen emulation for apps that don't support controllers.
Bluestacks has some kind of keyboard control apk built in?
I tried it with Real Racing 3 and could steer, accelerate and brake using direction keys on a physical keyboard. But the graphics for the game itself weren't represented well and I switched to RemixOS. Which looks perfect in full screen, but alias there is no way to steer or brake.
