Hi there
I've just spent about 3 days searching the net as well as this site for answers maybe someone can help
Ok here goes I have a Samsung galaxy s3 gt-i9300 with omnirom 4.4.2 kit Kat, an otg cable that works fine, original wired controller that works fine as well, connecting them and nothing happens, the lights on the controller flash but that's it, I've downloaded the USB/BT joy app from play store and the controller responds within the app, switched IME on, but non of my games work with it its frustrating, is there anyway to load drivers within android itself to get it to work without an app? Bypassing root that is. Mc4 asphalt 8 FIFA 14, non work. Please help

Did you ever find some way to fix this problem? I have the same issue on my gt-i9305 running Cyanogenmod 11 (Android 4.4.4)

I've been searching the internet for a while now and I couldn't find any helpful information on controllers that definitely work with a retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the host USB adapter.
All I could find was information on Xooms, Transformers or Google I/O Tabs.
Wii controllers seem to be a popular choice since there is an app available for them but other than that it's hard to find any helpful facts.
I'd like to find something that at least has the capabilities of a Wii Classic controller but without it having to be connected to a Wiimote controller for when I play some ROMs. So far I couldn't find an available version that does not need to be connected to a Wiimote over here in Germany.
I don't care if it's wireless or connected directly through an USB cable.
Is there anyone here who has found a controller that works with their 10.1 that is commonly available?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can confirm that my Logitech Dual Action USB Gamepad works perfectly on the Tab using the USB adapter. Model Number is G-UF13A. Hope this helps.
I just received my controller yesterday and it works alright in snes9x ex. It's the icontrolpad. I got it off of ebay. The application that allows it to work is in the market. It's called Bluez IME. It allows the use of four different bluetooth controllers but of the four I thought that one looks the best.
The other three that work using that program are:
Zeemote JS1
MSI Chainpus BGP100
Phonejoy
And here is a link to the app

If you have any other questions just let me know
has anyone gotten a ps3 controller to work?
I've tried several times but to no avail. even with pershoot's kernel and loading the hid-sony.ko module. I was hoping the TW update would fix this but i kind of doubt it. if you get it to work let me know lol

I have gotten the ps3 controller to work with pershoots kernel. The controller has to be charged completely before connecting to the tab.
Thank you so much guys! The Logitech Dual Action USB controller looks like a good choice. I hope they still have one in stock on Amazon.de when I come back from Ibiza.
As for the Bluetooth controller:
I can't seem to find one that's available on this side of the big pond.
I'd love to hear more reports on working controllers. Maybe we could start a list. That would help a lot of people.

Yup. Bet the guy above would have seen overcurrent trips in the dmesg, if he'd looked at the dmesg.
Uncharged controller = current trip.
Charged controller = works with pershoot's kernels and the hid-sony.ko module
GO to this link and buy it. It works beautifully with the Tab.

I did get the current trip message the first time so I charged it up fully and it gave me no current trip message but still got nothing. I never figured out what I was doing wrong. After installing Pershoot's kernel I pushed hid-sony.ko into modules using root explorer, ran insmod /data/local/modules/hid-sony.ko in terminal and it gave me no error messages so I hooked up my controller and nothing happened. Are there any other steps involved? Do I have to hit the PS button? Once it's connected should I be able to navigate through my apps and screens straight out the gates?
Sixaxis controller
Sixaxis controller from the android market works great if you have a ps3 controller. Requires root before you can use it.
Yup the Sixaxis App works like charm on my P7500. I hope there will be more Android Games in future that support game controllers.
Which games don't? I just ordered the Sixaxis off ebay and am hoping to replace the Wiimote I have been using for mario and such.
I rooted my Tab 10.1 just for this and the Tablet recognizes the PS3 controller but I can't seem to get it to work with my GBA or N64 Emulators. When I map the buttons in the Emulator it recognizes the buttons I press but it doesn't translate to the games itself. Any useful hints? Did I miss something?
/Edit:
The game Cordy recognizes the controller but the screen goes black after a while as if I'm not pressing any buttons. Do I have to set the screen timeout to never when I use a controller?
/Edit 2:
Snes9x seems to work perfectly with the PS3 controller. I wonder why the emulators from Yong Zhang don't work with this setup.
/Edit 3:
Figured it out. Apparently you have to enable the option "Enable Input Method" (Game Pad / Bluetooth Controller) so that the controller actually works. Tried SNESoid, NESoid and N64oid and they all worked.

Oh yeah, now I remember that - I had to hit the PS button before it would do anything.
hey, i'm new here, but i felt the need to necro this thread and add a controller i found working quite well to my own surprise.
i used the official usb adapter and plugged in my Saitek cyborg gamepad
and it works flawlessy on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3.1) with my emulators (tried nesdroid and snesdroid).
i cant post links but google 'Saitek Cyborg Rumble Gamepad'
it's the pc version, USB, black/greyish colors
myself tried finding a good controller but they seem to be expensive or hard to find and i didnt want to root my device just because of that so maybe this helps someone trying to get a nice controller with lots of buttons for a fair price.
Sixaxis
Sixaxis works on rooted GTab's?!? Score!
After a bit of internet browsing I discovered that it it possible to connect a nintendo Wii mote to Android devices. Which allows for easy gameplay.
After a few minutes of app installing I discovered that the entire Samsung Galaxy series is unable to use this app for whatever reason. Apparently due to the 'Sense UI' or so this article tells me;
http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller
But in the article it mentions the only way I could connect my Wii mote to my phone is by "rooting/flashing a compatible custom firmware".
So my question is, does anyone know of a ROM upon which such things are compatible? Thanks guys!

The page actually says for Samsung devices, it's NOT because of Sense (since Sense is an HTC skin for Android)... But that's neither here nor there.
The reason it doesn't work for WiiMote is because of how Samsung utilizes the bluetooth stack. You have to flash an AOSP ROM (like CM7 or MIUI) to get WiiMote to work. The downside of this, is that as far as I know, these ROMs don't currently support TV-Out via MHL. So you can't hook it up to your TV if you wanted to whilst using the controller.
HOWEVER - the SixAxis controller app, which connects to a ps3 controller (but ONLY an original Sony ps3 controller) DOES work with the stock ROM on the Galaxy S2. I have it, and it works. With this setup, I can use a controller with my emulators and hook the phone up to my TV to play games if I wanted to.
does this appel work great on s2
If yes . With wath games?

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

Hi, anyone trying to play Shadowguneadzone with Sixaxis (PS3 controller, 4.1.2 rooted stock)? I play a lot with this combo on Nexus 7 (works great), but when I tried today (bought HDMI dongle - trying to play on TV), gamepad will disconnect as soon as I start game in deadzone (e.g. select deathmatch).
When I switch back to sixaxis and pair the gamepad again, the game restarts.
EDIT: My bad, got it working (I didn't have Sixaxis IME selected). And I'm too lame to know how to delete the thread.

Hello guys,
I recently received a xbox 360 controller from ebay,
According to my research it's counterfeit.
Well it connects to my PC perfectly and acts just like the original, but whatever I do it doesn't work with stock or non stock touchwiz based roms, I ttied connecting with galaxy s3, s4, and note 2 and HTC one x+(Touchwiz based rom). Whenever I plug in the controller doesn't give input to my phone (I've seen youtube videoa which show just plug n play). In addition I've tried it with nexus 7 (2012) and it wotked flawlessly.
Any ideas?

I am using this app Sixaxis Controller with some no name controller i bought on my local market it works great.
Here is the link for Sixaxis Compatibility Checker and for the full version Sixaxis Controller first use the compatibility checker to see if your controller is supported.
Thanks for the reply, but It doesn't detecy my controller.
Although l, I've tried Joystick centre and it works flawlessly with emulators, but will it work with gta 3 since all the default mapping which when changed kills the controller are based on keyboard keys such as: k, q, 1, 2.
