Xbox360 & PS3 gamepad shoulder triggers don't work - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people!
A lot of time went by where I wasn't doing anything android related what so ever.
This week I installed minecraft on my x96 mini android box (running android 6.0.1) and some other games and have been playing them with my Xbox 360 controller.
After browsing this forum I even got the wireless gamepad running.
My daughter likes playing minecraft so I thought I would install it on my old MXII clone android box (with a g18REF board) that's running android 4.2.2 .
Installing the game went fine and even got to play on it.
So next step was playing it with an xbox 360 controller (wired) but that's where I ran into problems.
The controller works in the menu (android launcher), even works in minecraft....but....the L and R shoulder triggers are not.
This means I can't MINE or PLACE objects with the controller which render the game unplayable.
Then I realised I had to play around with key layouts on my other box to get the wireless gamepad working as it should, as I found in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531&nocache=1
But no matter what I do, I can not get the shoulder buttons to work in any game.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for android 4.2.2 which makes the shoulder buttons work so my daughter can play minecraft on this device?

Gaming on the LapDock

at some point when i get time, I want to try playing some games on the LapDock. No..I'm not going to install linux games, I want to try playing games like GTAIII full screen from the mobile view from android, and hopefully get the controls working with the keyboard and a mouse.
I'm just wondering if anyone has done the same and had any luck with that or not?
playing some of those FPS games like Modern Combat would be fun with a kb/m
Unfortunately playing Android games on Webtop is not the best way since Webtop is not accelerated at all, so you'll experience stuttering. Also controls are not passed through the Webtop interface, so onscreen touch controls are unusable while on Webtop.
What you need is Landscape HDMI mirroring. Search the forums for this hack. This way you will be able to passthrough the accelerated video to your TV and use the onscreen controls on your Atrix. Unfortunately this will not be possible to use while on the Lapdock.
Cheers,
Rayan

Have you considered the OnLive app? Using their (and possibly other's) controllers, you may be able to play games well enough. YMMV.
so this is interesting...

I havent tried it on the lapdock since the day I posted this,so I wonder if the keyboard would work now. I remember it being laggy tough.
But gaming on the lapdock with an external mouse would be bad ass
EDIT:
once we get ICS,this app should help,no?

Ive confirmed that GTAIII does indeed work with the keyboard now, WASD will move which is the main thing, AD will steer a car but WS will not gas/brake it, but the arrow keys work. Basically you can drive with one hand for gas and brake and the other to steer, works pretty well. I havent tried shooting anyone yet, still early in my gas with a pistol.
I noticed that the game plays pretty smooth if you leave the game windowed, but once you make it full screen, it starts to lag.
Modern Combat 3, and Hot Pursuit do not support keyboards or mice. I think all FPS games at least should support it.
I am playing n64 games with a wii controller on my lapdock since I got my hands on the paranoid ROM.
My general gaming procedure goes like this:
Reboot to tablet mode.
Sync with wii controller using WiimoteController App
put phone in lapdock
start n64 emulator (Mupen 64 plus AE - not available on the market atm. google it!)
play n64 game of choice (e.g. : Star Wars Racer, Super smash bros,...)
the great thing with the emulator is that I can map any button to any function so playing with the Lapdock keyboard also works.
If anyone can get the wireless xbox 360 controller to work (using the usb adapter) please tell me

PS3 Controller Query

Good morning,
Bought my Xperia Z Tablet on Friday and loving it so far. Have linked my PS3 controller up within the Xperia section and it works, however the button mappings when playing things like Vice City are incorrect. Native GTA X was the accelerate button but its either Square or Triangle for me. Has anyone else come across this? and what did you do to fix it because it seems that all games are affected. If i use Sixaxis controller app (as i rooted the tablet), it works as expected!

[Q] San Andreas camera spin glitch when using keyboard and mouse

Ok, so I've got this neat new Lenovo Yoga 10, got its official bt keyboard cover too, attached a cable mouse and all seems fine and dandy.
But when trying to play games (android games or ports, not emulators) they don't work as well as they should. Most annoyingly, they don't work with GTA San andreas. The moment I touch a key to move, the camera starts spinning. If I turn down the mouse sensitivity, it still spins, just slower. The only way to kinda control it is to click the cursor in the center of the screen, but once I let go the camera continues to spin in the last direction I was moving it to.
The problem seems to be that the games don't "bind" the camera to the mouse. I can still see the cursor, no matter what game I'm playing. This makes playing fps games impossible. I can still play games such as world of goo or open ttd, since they actually need a cursor.
What I'm asking is if there is a way to make these games work with my current hardware, or if I need something else, special for android gaming.
Keep in mind my tablet is not rooted, it has android 4.4.2 (so as of yet, I can't root it anyway), and my mouse is...well, some logitech generic cable mouse.
having the same problem bro

game controller

hi!
I've recently bought the fire HD 6, and was thinking if there are any compatible bluetooth game controllers.
I was thinking to connect it to the TV and use it as a sort of android game console.
Thank you very much
Root and use a PS3 controller is probably your best bet.
The Ouya controller work just fine. Just press the OUYA button (located on the low center in the controller), and when two light start blinking, search as any device at bluethooth menu.
The Ouya controller has an integrated touchpad and can be used as a mouse on your screen. But if you're planning to play a game, remember it's depend if that game has the controller button mapping or you'll need to use Tincore Keymapper to do it manually.
I already rooted my KHD6, so I did the controller test after root, but I'm pretty sure you don't need the root to make it work. I use the same controller on my NON-ROOTED Fire Stick TV and works just fine.
PS4 Controller works like a charm, Played Pokemon On Myboy for a little while, while it was linked to my Chromecast.
I would say a PS4 Controller works out of the box as well, as I wasent rooted at the time.

I just bought this controller about week ago and it work with HD6 (I only use GBC,GBA, and Drastic emulators). They work good so far. I haven't test any Android games yet, but I assume it work fine. This controller is awesome. I used with my HD6, phone, and laptop. Recommended!

PS2 controller compatibility with android.

Hi everyone, I am new to making threads but I have been a fan of xda for long time for providing help to me and millions of others.
Now coming back to the point. I have a PS2 controller which I want to use with my phone for playing games. I already have a otg cable, a PS2 to usb connector. I tried playing real racing 3 with it and it works as charm. The mapp application I used was usb/bt control centre as sixaxis doesn't recognize PS2 controllers( or maybe I don't know how to do it). NOW THE MAIN PROBLEM is that I can't use my right analog stick. I tried many apps but none of them recognize my right analog stick..well it works well on my pc..and I checked it on some app also right analog stick works..but when it comes to android it doesn't. Now I would like to know from u people whether or not PS2 controller is fully compatible with android or should I buy a ps3 controller..Or is there something I am missing..
