oh okay, it hasnt actually arrived yet, i was thinking it would help running games meant for dual core procs.

thanks for the reply!
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Take a look at Chainfire3d with the Nvidia module.

Long story short, all of the current "dual core" phones are running Tegra2. But Tegra2 GPU <= Hummingbird GPU.

Problem is, games optimized for the Tegra will have a harder time running on our PowerVR. Not because of graphics horsepower, but because of specific optimization done by the programmers.

Chainfire's driver deal should help with that, in fact there is a thread floating around here somewhere with all the files you need.

PS Don't worry about those dual cores phones beating up on your little Captivate. Once you get it rooted, loaded up with a custom ROM and kernel, and running Gingerbread, I think you'll find none of the competition comes close... :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Hi, I am new to Android. I bought Galaxy S2 y'day. when the phone is locked, i have a wallpaper(image) and i have slide to unlock it.

In the other android phones in the stores i have seen a lock screen with slider (like the iPhone one) How can i get them?

Also where can i find good themes for Galaxy S II?

Thanks for your support
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
The S2 has Samsungs own lockscreen instead of the default android one (The slider). Give it time and someone will probably port it. Also the 'Themes and Apps' sub-forum might be a good start for some themes :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobsgrg:
You can get using widgetlocker. You have to pay for it but it is way better than the default lockscreen
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Thank you guys. I will wait :-) This is my first android phone. hence curious to learn/do all sort of things

I have posted a simular thread concerning the lock screen and would also love an aftermarket lock screen to replace the default one

Hey,

I recently updated to 2.3.3 using the pc update software from SE website, and the update was completed sucesfully, but i seem to have a small bug with some of my pre purchased games.

When i was on 2.3.2 i had purchased a few games, for example Backbreaker 2 Venegeance, and after the update the hardware controls have stopped working so for example when you pressed circle it would juke right, but now it just pauses the game as if i was pressing the back button, and also the triangle button has become completly unresponsive.

The only other game that has been affected by this is fifa 10 which came pre installed with the phone.

Iv tried all the basic troublshooting, uninstall, reinstall, clear data + cache and tried moving the game onto the phone as apposed to having it stored on the sd card.

Anyone have any solution to this as its really frustrating not being able to play a game iv just paid for. I know that when i was on 2.3.2 it was all working perfectly.

Reguards

[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'd say it's not your problem, but the games'. They'd need an update. However, that FIFA stops working is to say the least disquieting, since it comes with the phone. I guess they'll update it on their own.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
Not sure about all the games, as I didnt purchase them.

Just tried FIFA, since its preinstalled. Seems to me the buttons are working fine here, circle, triangle and all.

I am also on 2.3.3 Generic UK version, rooted image and Bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] shotgunfool:
I mean all of my other games work as normal. Its just those two which is annoying but hopefully something will fix them

Ive upgraded sucessfully to 3.1 and thuoght that xbox 360 controllers are ment to work. not managed so far - does any one know how to get them to work ive tried wired and wireless ones.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ricostuart:
i take it no one has then?

Its strange seeing as there are some reviews coming out with the xoom on 3.1 getting to use xbox 360 contollers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
Do you have the dock? I've seen reports of people not having luck getting it to work that upgraded to 3.1 but no mention if they are using the dock or the female to female usb adapter method that is floating around.

Also the update that is floating around is not the OTA one so it may not be complete.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ricostuart:
yeah i do have the dock... hope the ota update has the drivers for xbox controllers. would be awesome!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Trilloid:
After updating to 3.1 I tried plugging in my usb gamepad to the dock, and loaded up Snes9x. Tried remapping the keys to the gamepad and it would say the keys were mapped to "none" no matter what button I pushed on the controller. The TF definitely knew that there was a gamepad plugged in, but it seemed like it didn't know how to map it correctly. So I tried playing Cordy like they did when they showed off 3.1, and all the buttons on the gamepad would make me run and jump to the right. So from what I can tell, it does register that there is a usb device plugged in and working, but it just won't map the buttons correctly :(. I don't have a wired 360 controller to try out, but I tried plugging in my PlayStation 2 controller with a usb adapter, and the TF wouldn't even register any of the button presses.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ape1720:
I tried a ps3 compatible pad this morning with n64oid and it worked once I mapped the controls. Didn't have time to really test thoroughly but seems to work on the leaked 3.1. This tweet from asusuk seems to confirm it for the official 3.1

@AsusUK Eee Pad Transformer with Android 3.1 supports XBOX 360 & Playstation controllers. UK FOTA Wed am.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] trancemode:
Tested it on ps3 controllers, worked fine.

xbox 360 didn't work for me
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Wdustin1:
How are these being hooked up through dock or some other means

Sent from my captivate BLAZING on firefly 3.0
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yoedba:
Is this only possible for people who have the dock? Does it have to be via cable??

Thanks guys!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] trancemode:
Only docks.

I mean the tablet doesn't even have any USB ports.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] yoedba:
Any way to pair it via Bluetooth, or maybe get it to connect through the asus propriety cable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xreflection:
Doubt it. Xbox 360 controllers don't use blue tooth to connect to the console. The asus cable would have to be modified somehow an you would lose a cable most likely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] l3iggs:
asus PR fail?

i got the OTA 3.1 update here in the US yesterday. when i plug my usb 360 controller into my dock, the ring of lights continuously blinks. the controller does not seem to register with cordy or with any emulators i've tried. i think the origional (mis)information that this would work came from the AsusUK twitter account.

can anyone in the UK confirm that this doesn't work for them?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Gunner86:
After the 3.1 update i plugged in my old logitech pc controller and fired up snesnoid and everything works perfectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] stuntdouble:
Unfortunately you are equating 'supported' with 'devs have created apps that now work' with said support. The gamepads will work as long as the apps have been updated to use the newer code.

All I've tried so far has been an old PS1 controller plugged in via a cheapo usb pc adapter and it worked flawlessly in fpse. Oddly enough it was even letting me control the home screens in android as well. Although the button mapping was all off for that trial.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] l3iggs:
then it seems logical that we call a controller 'supported' by android if it can switch homescreens. if an app is coded in such a way as to support the controller then we can call it 'supported' by that app and the controller becomes useful. i believe the generic key mapping features of most emulators are good enough and should work for the 360 controller, that is if the OS can recognize it. i'd wager that if a USB controller can not switch homescreens then it will be impossible for an app to make use of it.

both google and asus advertise that the 360 controller should work on the transformer after the 3.1 upgrade. mine can not switch home screens or do anything else at all besides annoyingly blink its lights.

i think my 360 controller not working is a bug and that makes me sad.

i would very much like to be proved wrong here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lithiasalesjs:
I'm using a USB female to female adapter w/ this and it will not work for the life of me. Maybe the adapter is bad but it will not connect to this for nothing.

Note: Using XBOX360 Controller
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] l3iggs:
has anyone tried connecting it trough a usb hub?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Fluckysan:
I got XBox 360 controller with USB which work fine on PC but doesn't work with my Transformer under Android 3.1

It seems Google forgot the XBox 360 drivers :s

Nobody on this thread manage to got the XBox 360 working ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
Can you look at the back of your controller and tell me the model? I've got a emulator list with controllers that are working I would like to add it to. Check the DIY link in my signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] paulpll007:
are you sure ？I also order one USB3.0 female to female adapter .your adapter are USB3.0 port？
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Terminatus:
Wired Xbox 360 controller doesn't work for me either when plugged into the dock. LED ring just blinks and the controller isn't usable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Fluckysan:
It seems this is the case for all of us :s

I hope Google will release a fix soon, a little fail here since the videos show many XBox 360 controllers demonstrated !
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sapiers:
Can you list what controller works? I don't mind buying a controller if it is supported
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jyan_osu:
I was able to get my PS3 controller to work
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] l3iggs:
I wonder who's fault this bug is (asus or google). Has anyone seen a regular user report that the 360 controller working on another 3.1 device, like the xoom for example? If it works on the xoom, then this is likely a asus' fault and we'll know to bother them, not google.

UPDATE:

after some quick research, it looks like the360 controller works just fine on the xoom. That makes me think that this is a problem introduced by asus with the transformer and not a bug in android 3.1 by google. I encourage all of you to hit up asus tech support so that we can make sure they have visibility on this. It would be great if we could post a response from asus on this here. I submitted a support request on this to asus two days ago and still have not heard back yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] neok44:
this is not google, it's asus. the 360 controller works perfectly on the xoom. And was shown working on the transformer, but our update doesn't seem to let it work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ericc191:
Does anyone know of a controller that works without the dock?

EDIT: Wiimotes work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] neok44:
yeah the wiimote is the only one unless someone can hack the BT on the PS3 controller. Which seems that it would of been done already if possible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Fluckysan:
Thx for your search

I submitted a ticket to the support too, let's see if they heard us

Can you all post a request to Asus ? The more the merier !
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ericc191:
Went out and bought the Wii Remote Plus and Classic Controller Pro (Black). It works like a charm on my G2. Can't wait to use it on the TF. Only downside is having to plug them up together if I want to play anything on SNES/PSX.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Dorkington:
I guess the silver lining is that I'm not alone with this problem. Drats. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] justinjuxtapose:
Same thing is happening to me. I've e-mailed Asus support twice with no response. It has been almost two weeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Pynthax:
Felt like saying I have now tried asking on the Asus Sweden facebookpage, they seem helpful on other questions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] stujuk:
Has anyone with a dock tried either a wired xbox 360 controller or the MS Windows adapter for Xbox 360 Controllers. This might be the way to get the wireless ones working. I do expect they are referring to the almost never purchased Wired controllers though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sigwood:
I tried a wired Xbox 360 controller yesterday, no dice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Pynthax:
I got a reply from asus sweden about this just now, they said that i were right, noone seems to get there xbox controllers to work, we will look in to this""

So atleast it seems they are going to check it.

(In swedish, the whole awnser)

"Vi kan ta en titt på det. Tyvärr verkar det, som du säger, att ingen lyckats få igång en (trådbunden) xbox 360-kontroller med Transformern."
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nighaught:
I received this email today.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Pynthax:
Thats great! Finaly some info!

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] leifi76:
Not sure how much help this is but still.

I've just updated my transformer via the asus update service plugged my wired xbox 360 controller into the dock, started up cordy and it's working fine!

Cordy updated a few days ago though and I haven't tried using the controller since so, maybe it's cordy. I'll have a play with what emus I've got and let you know.

EDIT:

N64Oid is working fine once I mapped the keys. It kept saying <unknown> but it does recognise the key presses. oh and the analog stick is only recognised as a d-pad. Not a major problem. N64oid is v 1.1.4.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] stujuk:
Do you have a wireless + charge kit available to try? Or one of those Windows Wireless Controller adapters I mentioned earlier?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Metaphysical:
This is very strange.

I bought the new black xbox 360 controller for PC kit.

I plugged in the USB adapter and the controller started flashing but I could change homescreens with the analogue stick which means it worked, how much I don't know as I didn't try any games or anything. I wanted to jam some NFS Shift on my PC.

After that every time I plug the USB adapter into my TF dock, my TF resets and is unable to start up with the USB adapter plugged in (Similar to a USB stick plugged into an Intel MB which also doesn't start up, depending on BIOS settings)

EDIT:

I thought that the cable for the wireless xbox controllers was only used for charging the controller and that it wouldn't work like a wired xbox controller.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jdsemler:
I have been able to get a wired Xbox360 controller to work in FPSE, but it is real annoying having all 3 green LEDs constantly blinking around the Xbox button, especially in the dark.

Anyone figure out a way to get that to stop?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] al2x:
I'm pretty sure Microsoft has stated themselves that there is only a charging current that runs through the Play & Charge USB kit so you wouldn't be able to use the wireless controller as a gamepad. The wired, on the other hand works perfect. I also use a PS3 controller too, works great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xperiaflooter:
Found this "X360 Controller LED BlinkStop" in the Android Market. This app can stop blinking the green LED.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sturmen:
So, with the latest firmware, Xbox 360 wired controllers DO work when connect via the dock? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xperiaflooter:
Yes, this app, or the USB/BT Joystick Center. Both fulfill the job.

The "Reset" bug, if you connect the XBox Controller or Wireless Gaming Adapter, is a very strange bug. I've tested it a little bit, and it seems that this is a random bug. If I plugged the controller or adapter into the 2nd USB port of the dock, then I had no reset bug. And I've also no reset if the controllers are not paired with the wireless gaming adapter. I think this is a honeycomb driver bug.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] duke1313:
Anybody knows if a Playstation 3 compatible controller would fully work? Other cheap option would be fine too. Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] omishi:
For me PSP is pretty much plug and play
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sanderfox:
Has anyone managed to set the d-pad as the c-buttons in N64oid? For some reason it does not set the key when I press it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Aelyus:
Don't wireless controllers work too? They should they use bluetooth right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xperiaflooter:
Wireless Controllers are working with the USB Wireless Gaming Adapter from Microsoft. To control the buttons you can use the USB Joystick Center app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Aelyus:
That's a paid app, and market support really sucks in my country, could you please suggest a free alternative? Never mind, found one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] aquamally:
xbox 360 controller

I bought a cheap Datel controller from Argos. £14.99 an Xbox 360 Wildfire Wired Controller, works great. If you have Riptide gp 1.1 it will even work with that. But not the early versions. Cordy works as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] qwer23:
I have a problem when I try to play that game with an Wireless Xbox controller and the Gaming Adapter:

One the TF home screen and in the game menu from Shadowgun, the left stick is working perfectly, but as soon as I start playing the game, I'm turning in circles all the time. When I try to remap my controller, I also notice that "Joystick axis 3+" seems to be pressed all the time (everything I tap to remap is mapped to axis 3+ instantly).

Any advise to solve this?

Something else I noticed: The green circle on the Xbox Controller doesn't stop blinking, but it still works besides the previously said issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] qwer23:
*BUMP*

Anyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sanderfox:
Is the Wireless Xbox 360 controller working find when connected to an Xbox? As in, do you not run around in circles all the time? If the same problem occurs, it's probably something with the controller itself. If the controller works find on an Xbox, it may even be a driver bug or something.

The blinking is probably because the included drivers in HC do not turn the light off. Nothing is wrong with the connection, it just keeps blinking. I believe it can be turned of by a free app available on the Android Market. I can't remember the name atm, but it should be named somewhere on page 2 or 3 of this thread.

The paid version of the above app has more functionality. You can write your own drivers for controllers with it apparently. If you keep having problems with running around in circles, try this paid app out (only a few dollars if I remember correctly). You should be able to get everything working fine with that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] andymp3:
i have the transformer with the dock as well and tried hooking up my xbox 360 wireless controller with the pc usb adapter kit and got the same results as you when trying to play shadowgun. My guy just ran around in circles as well. I got frustrated after trying to fix it and gave up. I did some research and can't seem to find a solution. Does shadowgun even support external periphirals? That may be the issue. I am going to try to buys a pc controller and see what happens....The game rocks....just wish I could use a controller instead of the screen ..lol...cheers and good luck man
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bskim23:
I bought a wired 360 controller on shadowgun and it works fine. I don't have a usb kit for my wireless controller, so I can't compare, but before I bought the wired controller, I bought an aftermarket one and it did this thing where the guy ran in circles or the look around joystick was all wacked out. Only after getting the original wired controller did everything start working as it should. Hope this helps a little
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob-eSponge:
Has anyone found a solution for using the wireless adaptor for pc yet? In shadowgun my guy also runs around in circles and the joystick axis 3+ seems to be 'pressed' all the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] andymp3:
I am thinking that there is no solution unless microsoft or Asus provide us with an update however that seems very unlikely. I plan to just buy a cheap usb controller off ebay or something. I hope a solution is found however highly doubt it. Cheers and good luck... Oh and ever try using your phone as a controller? I wish shadowgun had that option... I have a. Snowboard game that has the option of using my phone as the controller... I think it is one of the best options out there and wish more developers would do this... Anyone know if there is a way to use the phone as controller for any game? Like an app or something... Would be a great idea... Something that would turn your phone into a game pad or even a keyboard for your tablet... Just a thought... Lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sanderfox:
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I hear people have very good experiences with USB/BT Joystick Center. With it you can create your own driver for the controller you want to use. It's probably just as expensive or even cheaper than a cheap wired controller.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] andymp3:
Yeah but that's the problem... the usb wireless adapter from Microsoft for the xbox wireless controller does not work at all... i tried it on a few games and it either did not work at all or just need my character (shadowing) spin around in circles... Do you mean your friends have tried it and got it to work? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob-eSponge:
I have tried with USB/BT Joystick Center and I am having the same problems. Guess the only solution is to use the wired controller.

It is strange though that I have read some comments about people using the wireless adaptor and it was working.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

In USB/BT Joystick Center there is a function to edit the drivers. When you inside this you can press the buttons on the controller or move the analogue sticks etc and these little lights come on in the app corresponding to your actions and then this can be mapped to keyboard keys.

When inside this mode the right analogue stick is working normally but inside Shadowgun the right stick is somehow being read as being pressed 'left'.

I tried removing the right analogue stick from the driver and then Shadowgun was working briefly. After about 5 minutes of playing the screen froze and on returning to the game the turning in circles started again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Sanderfox:
I think I saw comments about this issue being solved on the Market page of the above app a few weeks ago. I haven't tried the app myself, because I have not noticed this same problem (yet).
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob-eSponge:
So is the controller and wireless adaptor working for you?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob-eSponge:
Ok xbox controller and wireless adaptor is working for me with Riptide. Looks like it must be a bug in Shadowgun. Hopefully they can include a fix in the future.
