Anyone had any joy getting Sixaxis to work on the S3?
Can't seem to get it to connect to my (admittedly cheap knock off) dual shock controller.
Before I go and buy a more expensive one (on the assumption it is the crappy controller rather than Sixaxis) I wondered if anyone here had, had any joy with Sixaxis on the sgs3?
yea... I just bought it yesterday and had great fun.. I used it for Modern Combat 3, Real Racing 2, and others..
Make sure you are rooted, as I believe that is required.
Have fun!
I think I am just going to get a USB on the go cable and see if I can sort it that way. At least before buyinh a whole new sixaxis controller.
Was wondering if we could have a port for this. I know there are other ways to sync with controllers but this seems to be the most simplest way to do it. Please see the link below.

Not exactly the same but something similar exists. But this would be awesome.
This seems to be very simplistic oh yeah! I wanna try it on my GN2 too! Port please

here is the same thread
thank you xda .. i bought a dualshock 3
i will try to keep this post as short as possible..
thank you team xda for your hard work and research.. seriously.. thank you very much guys..
because of you guys.. i safely rooted my note 2 (N7100)with philz touch recovery method(altho i am still on stock rom build N7100XXUFNL1)..
and after rooting my phone..
i realized the actual potential of a device like the (N7100) Galaxy note 2.
back to the point..
Sony dualshock 3 and the NOTE 2 is the most awesome combination(note 2 for its display size and specs and sony playstation for being sony playstation..lol )
i connected dualshock 3 with note 2 via standard usb cable(one i used with my old seagate hard drive).. of course also using the standard generic otg cable.
now.. games that natively detected the dualshock 3 controller(without installing any other apps for key mapping or touch mapping or any mobile gamepad apps for rooted devices etc.)...were as follows..
MODERN COMBAT 4 : ZERO HOUR,
MODERN COMBAT 5 (this game detected dualshock 3 as native gamepad in Xperia devices..mobiles and tablets.. and all keys were correctly mapped to its respective controller buttons)
apart from that..
if you have the sixaxis controller app from playstore..
i give you my word.. any game is configurable..and that too very easily..just take a screenshot of the game and load it into the sixaxis controller app..map the respective dualshock 3 keys on your touch screen.. and save profile.. thats it.
i played gangstar vegas and NOVA 3.. and the dualshock 3 worked flawlessly on both usb connection and wireless(all connection instructions are provided in sixaxis controller app help menu.. so cool.. )
in short.. the dualshock 3 + Galaxy note 2 (or similar awesome devices) + sixaxis controller app = almost any game in playstore and emulatore etc. ... playable..
the touch mapping is very easy and i dont know how but thank God the SELinux Enforcing did not interfere with sixaxis controller's access to UIinput.. it was like magic.. coz all other apps except sixaxis controller failed to access UIinput..
anyways .. moving on..
the dualshock 3 controller is original.. purchased from authorized sony center.. for 2990 bucks in INDIA......
and it is UNDOUBTEDLY the most awesome alternative to any other controller out there.. the original is well built.. sturdy.. AND IT HAS NO LAGS AT ALL..EVEN WIRELESSLY..
for this price and these possibilities .. all hail sony dualshock 3.. even without the gameKlip.. its still the smartest choice.. if ya feeel ma drift..!
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew a way or program on how to play, say, modern combat 4 on a galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition and using the note 3 as the controller... would screen share work? Or is there a way to connect my phone bluetooth and use it as a controller? If not then this would be a great project for devs.. I know I could just use a sixaxis ps3 controller but using the right analog stick isnt very good for aiming(not quite like on an actual ps3 system anyway).. I would rather use the touch screen on my note 3 but play on the tablets larger screen... anything, anyone?
There are many apps like that on the play store:

Hey everyone. I'm starting to get into more gaming on my mobile devices and now that I have an Xperia Tablet Z I'm getting even more into it because of the large screen.
I know the tablet has Dualshock 3 controller drivers built in and I've been able to try it. It worked easily and flawlessly which was great, but the problem is that I don't own any PS3 controllers. I've used an app that allows my to connect my Xbox One controller to the tablet which is awesome, but it needs to be plugged in the entire time and I can only connect one Xbox controller to the tablet at a time. I've realized that bluetooth is the way to go for having wireless gaming as well as multiple controllers connected.
So the question is: Will the PS3 controllers be my best bet to use specifically with the Xperia Tablet Z, or will I be better off saving some money on generic android bluetooth controllers? Or maybe even the generic versions of the PS3 controllers? I like being able to just turn the controller on and have it connect automatically without having to open any other apps and sync or go through settings to get it to work.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to bluetooth controllers on tablets so maybe any bluetooth controller can sync up with the tablet without issues and I just don't know that. Right now I'm leaning towards buying authentic PS3 controllers to guarantee that they will just connect when I turn them on, but if I can save a bunch of money and get the generic version of the Dualshock 3 controllers then I'll absolutely do that instead. I just don't want to buy those just to find out that they don't work.
Any help, even if you can just share your experience with controllers that you've used would be super helpful.
Thanks!
...Now that I think about it. We might as well start a list of controllers that work well and don't work well with the Xperia Tablet Z.
Controllers that work great:
Authentic Sony Dualshock 3 controller:
-Built in drivers.
-Fast setup.
-No need for OTG after initial setup.
-Can connect multiple controllers (at least 2 haven't tried more than that).
Generic SixAxis controllers (don't have rumble feature)
-Exactly the same as authentic Dualshock 3 controller except that there is no rumble feature.
-Costs significantly less.
Nyko Playpad Pro
-Just ordered this (got it for $14 on nomorerack.com).
-Will update this section once I have a chance to try it out.
I have a PS3 controller but mine is a different one.
Normally you have a DUALSHOCK, but I was informed that exist a model called only SIXAXIS, and this one is what I have.
I bought a refurbished one and works perfectly.
The main diferences between the two is that the DUALSHOK has a vibrator in each side and the SIXAXIS doesn´t.
In fact if you don´t mind about something vibrating on you hand, you should go for a SIXAXIS, is lighter, so will be more confortable to play for long periods
I don´t have it here with me right now but you can see the diference looking above of the charge/player LED, is written SIXAXIS, instead of DUALSHOCK.
Anyway, hope it help you decide :good:
Cheers
EDIT:
I forgot to say that is cheaper too, I payed around of $28 with tax.
Usually the DUALSHOCK is (at least in Canada) $54 - $60 without taxes

Thanks! I'll add that to the list. It sounds much better than paying full price for the dualshock. I'm assuming it connects the same way as the Dualshock? Just plug it in, turn the controller on, wait for it to connect, then unplug the controller?
How did you connect two dualshocks at once?

It took a bit to figure it out, but it's actually pretty simple.
-Start with both controllers off.
-Go to Settings>Xperia Connectivity>DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller>How to connect controller.
-Connect the first controller via USB. The controller should power on, bluetooth should turn enable itself on the tablet then the tablet will tell you that the controller is connected.
-Unplug the first controller and make sure it is still working (go to home screen and try selecting apps with the joystick).
-Go back to the "How to connect controller" section and plug in the second controller (make sure the 1st controller didn't turn off). The tablet should tell you that the controller is connected. You should be able to unplug that one and use both now.
You may not need to go into the "How to connect controller" menu to do this initial setup, but that's how I got it working. After this initial setup you should just be able to turn the controllers on and have them sync up to your tablet automatically (providing the tablet had bluetooth turned on). Let me know if you have any issues getting it to work.

You do the same way you do with the Dualshock.
Like I said it is original, except for the vibrators.
So yes! Way better than pay double of the price for something that shake in your hand.

Xperia Z3
Hey Everyone!
Just registered to post here
I have a Xperia Z3, and looking into playing with the controller.
Did you have time to try the Nyko Playpad Pro?
Also what games can you play with two controllers?
Thanks!!!

You probably would get a more relative answer by posting your question in the Sony Xperia Z3 forum.

Thanks, I will try it there, although it isn't restricted at Xperia Z3.
I also have the z3 and my question is with 2 dualshock 3 controllers does it work well with multiplayer in emulators? I want to be able to play Mario kart and goldeneye 2 player
You can use any bluetooth controller with just this simple app
Just install SixAxis Controller app from google playstore and you can connect bluetooth controller from it. But note that, to use this app your tablet must be rooted.
With the help of this app you can also map keys of your controller to your tablet.
I play modern combat 4 using custom mapped controllers using sixaxis controller app. You can also use your controller as a native controller and enjoy games in default keymapping.
This app will require you to connect your controller with OTG cable for initial setup and later on you can connect your controller via bluetooth.
You can find the app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
I'm a Tablet Z gamer myself. I use PS3 controller on my Xperia Tablet Z LTE. It works great. But for instance, some game like Modern Combat 4 have horrible default keymapping and SixAxis controller app is the best alternative for it..
But be assured that, Six axis controller app is a paid app so buy at your own risk. It's working for me very well, so it must work with most of the android devices.
You can read my experience on gaming with my tablet on this thread:

I hope you find this information helpful to you.
Keep Gaming :good:

The original MOGA Pro & the newer MOGA Power Pro (aka MOGA Pro 2) are a little pricey (~$50) but are both awesome BT gamepads. Plus they have ability to operate in 2 Modes for greater compatibility & some really good games support it such as Modern Combat 5 & Real Racing 3.
I have purchased 3 over the last few years. I use them so frequently that I've completely worn out the analog sticks on the MOGA Pro. The other two are both Power Pro and have held up really well. I switch back and forth between them or I hook up both for 2 player mode on Real Racing 3.
