I am not finding any possible way to connect a PS3 controller with my Rezound due to the bluetooth packet build of the stock ICS. I just recently rooted. I see everywhere other devices that are able to pair with the controller. Any thoughts or evidence that this will work on the Rezound with custom roms? Using Amon ra recovery. Before I flash any roms, this is a big feature that I am looking for as I do a lot of gaming. Thanks for any direction.
I just saw a thread about this last week I think. Something about an app called sixaxis or something like that.
Pretty sure if you search "controller" in this forum you'll find it.

The Sixaxis app will not work with the Rezound. The Rezound does not support otg as it does not have usb host control support. It will not recognize any usb device. I read it's mainly due to Sense. Has to be a custom rom I guess that the builder enabled this option. Possibility of AOSP roms might work, not sure.

Blueputdroid enables you to control your ps3, and pc, etc with your phone. I want to play games on my phone with a ps3 controller since I have one already. I don't want to go buy a special controller just to use on my phone.

Install cm10.1 JB and it will enable you to use six axis controller.

I figured with the Webtop-over-HDMI hack now up and running, why not try to get a console controller, other than the WiiRemote, working to play games on Android. Full screen PS emulator with a side of PS3 controller would be nice via Webtop.
As I've been reading, I keep hearing that that Android doesn't have a kernel to support BT pairing.
What do you guys think?
As far as pairing, it is possible. There is an app called BlueputDroid that is in early beta stages, but it works. It works as a touchpad/keyboard for the PS3.
I have read the same thing in regards to the bt stack not being compatible but I don't believe it. It would be great to control my ps3 dvd playback from my phone.

I think the original poster wanted the opposite of what you guys are replying about... he wants to use his bluetooth PS3 controller as a gaming controller to control games running on his Atrix.
Don't know if what you guys want is possible but I would think that would be a lot easier through a network interface than bluetooth... have you explored the DLNA tools? You should in theory be able to control the PS3 through DLNA commands.
Sorry for the threadjack.

This is correct. I work a desk job and emulators on my phone are what keep me from losing my mind. A PS3 controller is a preference, but a controller that works will suffice.

The WII remote works as seen in a couple videos. Could grab one of those, and you'd be good to go.
off topic, kinda, but would a 360 remote ever work with the Atrix?

I would certainly be interested in this as well!
This is what I got...its the retro controller for wii but it doesnt need to connect to a wiimote, and it works with the wiimote android app
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
good luck finding one though, I had to import mine for like 40 bucks from codemasters, but that was a while ago.

The problem is not the kernel or BT stack.
Someone has to decrypt what the codes are that are sent on button press into an input method. (See WiiMote Controller apk for an example). On top of that, the app requires the ability to pull the pairing code from the ps3 controller and pair it using the existing BT stack.
But no one has created such an app at this time.
Once full-blown webtop linux (or at least repo access), the desktop pairing app can be used while in webtop mode (if such an app exists).

Just bumping this because I could have sworn that I saw a project to get the PS3 remote working on the Atrix. Am I just hoping and wishing or was there a project going on?
(yes, I've tried searching to no avail)
I would love to help and fulfill attempt to get the ps3 controller working with the atrix but have a few problems...
Never played a ps3 except in store demo lol which also leads to me not having a controller to even test. With that said, I need some info about the ps3 and the controller. Use bluetooth for connectivity? What is ps3 based off of? Linux......etc?
If based off linux or similar then I could give out a go. If not, then I can't help. Lastly, can someone link me to a ps3 os dump (or whatever it's called).

I've never delved much into the PS3 Homebrew and emulation scene mainly because it's security was clamped down on so hard. But with the recent cracks, I imagine their online communities are probably buzzing.
Wish I had some resources to share. I'd really LOVE to get a PS3 controller working with the Atrix!!!
Don't know how much it helps, but with the recent Ubuntu hack, I figure I'd share that QJoyPad may work. A simple Google search should find it.
I never had trouble pairing PS3 controllers with it. It even allowed me to toggle sensitivities of all of the axis, including L2/R2. Every button worked, even L3/R3.

This is an ancient thread, I know, but I've had this question for a while. I don't yet have an HDTV, so I cannot test this, but aside from Hero_Lief's suggestion above, I also ran into a program called QtSixA (http://http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/) for Ubuntu, which is supposed to be able to pair a PS3 wireless remote with Ubuntu through Bluetooth 2.0 or higher. Has anyone tried this yet? If not, someone wanna give it a go? Whenever I get an HDTV, I'd really like to use my Atrix for some bigscreen emulation, but I won't be enticed without a proper controller. Thanks!
Has anyone given a thought about pulling the drivers or what ever from a honeycomb build? I've read somewhere that you can connect a ps3 controller to a xoom.

I loved using my wii controller to play games, controll grooveshark and remote controll my camera on my htc hd2. But can we do it on the S2? Cognition rom so far does not work with my controller. Does anyone know of a rom that does?

Im hoping for this aswell. The Wii controller or the PS3 controller, mainly to controll some emulators.
Now that it has been a month after this post, has there been any progress on this issue? I would really love to use my Wiimote with the G SII.
I saw a thread just before about a guy on Miui with a wiimote.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
is this the same protocol thats required for the ps3 controller? if it is does anyone know if its now possible to do this on a SGSII??
I guess it will work with any cm7 based mod, as cm7 bluetooth stack is compatible with the wii/ps3 controllers, is that right?
Yes CM7 should work fine.
Wii Remote Galaxy S2
Ok I have the sprint version of the S2 the Epic 4g touch and I was able to get a wii mote to sync with it for my super nintendo emulator and Roms. It's pretty fantastic and much more enjoyable than playing with a ps3 controller... At least I like it more. I am running the Calkuins.E4GT.ROM.v2.9.2 with kernel: 2.6.35.7-sph-D710.EL29-CL852097
I accidentally found out you can do this but with the snes9x ex emulator for droid and the sixaxis app installed the "search for wiimote" in the emulator will work. Before I had the sixaxis app installed it would say my device wasn't supported and from everything I've read it was because of the samsung bluetooth stacks. I'm guessing that the app fixes the stacks or finds a backdoor for it to work.
FORUM RULES
5. Post a message only once.
You've already posted it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381081 and now you've bumped a thread from August last year to say the same?
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.
Hello! I was wondering if I could use my PS3 bluetooth controller without having to flash a AOSP rom.
The reason why I dont want to flash a AOSP rom is because I am trying to hook up my phone to the tv and use a controller at the same time and AOSP rom's do not support MHL HDMI out.
So im just looking for a way to use a wireless controller and plug it into hdmi at the same time. I would appreciate the help, thank you once again. XdaDevelopers has a really nice community and I would love to contribute more some day ^^

Yea. U can. Use either six axis or that Bluetooth IME or summin like that. U can use mhl to connect to ur tv then a Bluetooth controller

Unfortunately, this is not fully true. Sense doesn't have the necessary bluetooth stack to accommodate wireless controllers like the Sixaxis or the Wiimote. The only way to get this working on the 3D would be to install Cyanogenmod, since it has the necessary bluetooth files. However, CM7 doesn't have MHL out working yet, so that's not really an option either.
Hopefully soon CM7 will get MHL working so we can make this happen.

No I meant there is an app which sets up Bluetooth remote controllers as a keyboard. It works. I tried it with my zeemote. But I just switched roms and u forgot to back it up. Now i can't remeber the name

If you can remember it, that would be awesome.
The program is bluez IME. It is free on the market. It works perfectly well on a stock ROM, so the above advice is wrong. That said, I've been using it to play games with my old Chainpus BGP-100 Bluetooth controller and I have no idea if it works with the Sony PS3 controller.
It works great to play games on my HD tv.

Bluez IME only works with four controllers unfortunately, and the wiimote and dualshock aren't compatible.

There is a unreleased apk of bluez that supports WiiMotes, however you do need a AOSP rom in order to make it work
That's because AOSP has the necessary Bluetooth stack for input devices, something that Sense based roms are lacking.

Hey all,
I have an Asus TF300t running a CM10 nightly and Logitech Gamepad F310. The Logitech Gamepads are supposed to work, but I am having issues with mine. Games like Shadowgun and Deadtrigger detect the controller but my character spins around in a circle. And when I go to customize the controls within the game when i select an action to set to a key it automatically puts in joystick 3+ or something like that. my roommate has the same controller and his does the same thing on my tablet. Is it a bad driver or is it not supposed to work to begin with or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT 10/22/12: I flashed Hydro 4.1 JB using the guide and now my controller seems to work fine
I have the exact same problem with a Xbox360 wireless controller (using a non-official PC-USB adapter)
Shucks. Are you running CM10 as well or stock?
Plain stock JB, latest Spanish version.

Oh... the tablet is not mine and I want to keep official versions, so it looks I won't be able to play any game with my 360 controller by now :crying:
Anyway, if that's a common problem, I wonder why people ain't complaning more in the forums.
Ok, i have read many post and know that i am able to play some games using xbox controller. So do i just plug the controller to the usb dock and use or i need to install some app or roms to enable it?
I am rooted but in stock.

You have just to plug it by USB, and it should work in any game with controller support. You can also use it to navigate trough the desktop and launch apps.
I have TF300T and when it was on ICS, it worked with PS3 controller (via USB) flawlessly, but now with JB, it doesn't work whatsoever. Anyone else having this issue?
You tried Sixaxis controller app?
If u already use it go to prefrence -> Gamepad Settings -> Check Enable Gamepad
