[Android General] sir_earl:
Please try this new version. I realised I had some old test code enabled that was probably causing the issue. It would be worth everyone with a fake controller that was working with the last version to try this version too, as the way it detects fakes is different.

Note that connection type 1 is borked in this version, so there's no point trying this unless you have an MTK device.
[Android General] vl.maksime:
It's great. Now gamepad don't hangs. I look forward to the full version in Play Market, to test.

Nice job. Working fine on my THL W200 (MTK 6589T)
[Android General] x_berzerker:
Hey guys I have 3 controllers that never pair. They behave strangely swapping between two addresses, but not the host.

But with ps3 they work real fine. Anyone know about this?
[Android General] sir_earl:
I've had a few reports of controllers that won't update their addresses, like yours (assuming you've tried pressing the reset button on the bottom with a paper clip). My theory is that the PS3 uses a specific range of bluetooth addresses that these controllers are expecting, but it could also be that the pairing process is missing a step that these controllers are more picky about.

In theory, if you can get hold of the bluetooth address of someone else's PS3 (maybe someone would be kind enough to post this information - easiest way to find it would be connect a controller to the PS3, then see what the SixaxisPairTool reports the current address as). If the controller is able to pair with this alternative address, then we will know one way or another where the issue lies.

One potential fix would be changing the bluetooth address of your phone or tablet to match the PS3 (although this could cause all kinds of issues!), then you wouldn't need to change the master address in the controller. Changing the bluetooth address usually isn't too difficult, but varies across devices, so you'll need to do some research.
[Android General] vl.maksime:
Did you try pair controller over MotionJoy?
[Android General] x_berzerker:
i tried to pair with motioninjoy, sixaxis pair tool and better ds3.

pretty weird, most of the time nothing happens. (image 1)

sometimes both controller addr and master addr changes to something strange, and then turns back to normal. (image 2)

But now i got plenty of ideas, including another ps3 and all 3 controllers.

gotta test a bit. i will keep you informed.

[Android General] sir_earl:
Hi guys. The update is finally up on Google Play, although there might be a couple of hour delay before it appears. Check out the change log for what's new. Most notably MTK support (obviously), but also x86 and mips architectures are now supported, and the Playstation Move Navigation controller can now be used with the app also. Enjoy, and sorry about it taking so long!
[Android General] Bamboori:
fantastic! :)

pairing works perfectly (xiaocai x9 + china controller)

but sometimes the button inputs hang... could that be because its a fake controller?
[Android General] x_berzerker:
OHH GOD i was about to die in anxiety! Checked this thread a billion times!

thank you again [MENTION=4183459]sir_earl[/MENTION]!
[Android General] sir_earl:
Possibly. Does it settle down after a minute or two? I've seen this with a couple of fake controllers, but they always come right after an initial lag.
[Android General] Bamboori:
yep, just like that. guess ill have to save some money for an original controller some time.
[Android General] x_berzerker:
i was having key delays on Super GNES app. Thought it was sixaxis problem at first, but when i changed gfx setting from 'software' to 'opengl' with 'default' shader and 'smooth' blender, the response got much better!

Hello, can you help me? I have MTK device and fake controller which pairs with all latest testing versions, but they dont pair in new official version, gamepad just blinking and nothing happens. :(
[Android General] sir_earl:
That's odd... Have you definitely tested the version in this post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46869843&postcount=1411 ?

What about the version of the Sixaxis Compatibility Checker that is currently up on Google Play?

Fully working on my tablet with official ps3 controller. Thanks again keep up the good work. Syncs, very responsive, mouse option from power button nice feature. Stop powers down controller button didn't anyway.
[Android General] NDrew619:
This version works fine

Here same thing as in official version :(
[Android General] sir_earl:
Thanks for that. There's only one thing I can think of that has changed between those 2 versions. Please try the attached version and let me know.

updated the Sixaxis Controller of play store?

also worked on my C2, already updated the Sixaxis Controller of play store?
[Android General] sir_earl:
Yes, the update is already released :)
[Android General] sir_earl:
Well that solves the issue. Some fake controllers are reporting a different name (actually a typo), which is causing a change I made to fail. I will update the main on Google Play with a fix soon.
[Android General] sir_earl:
FYI - I've just uploaded a fix for the fake controller issue on Google Play (version 0.7.2). It should reach you all within a couple of hours.
[Android General] hajiborojobo:

[Android General] ismailsorku9191:
i have a problem on zopo c2 (mt6589 device). when i connect the the controller i can connect wifi but cant browse internet.
[Android General] sir_earl:
Please try changing the channel your wireless router is broadcasting on. This problem is often caused by interference between the two signals.
[Android General] ismailsorku9191:
sorry. i dont know how to do that. im from turkey. maybe my english isnt good enough to understand your answer. can you tell me how to do that.
[Android General] sir_earl:
It's different on all routers, but basically you need to go to your router configuration page. Somewhere in there, probably under a wireless section (possibly the same place you set up security such as access point name and password) you should find the channel it is broadcasting on. I would suggest you consult the service manual for your router for more specific instructions.
[Android General] sir_earl:
Hi all. I've just made a change that I hope will improve overall controller support. It seems there may be some newer official controllers that, although working, their lights just keep blinking when connected. The changes may also improve support for fake controllers, although there's a chance it could break support too, so I need as many people with fake gamepads as possible to test the attached version and let me know if it's still working alright (or if it wasn't before, but is now). Thanks heaps!
[Android General] vl.maksime:
My fake controller still works.
[Android General] x_berzerker:
Mine still works but I am not sure if it is fake or not. How could I check that?
[Android General] sir_earl:
If it's a fake, it will output a message saying that it detected a fake.
[Android General] Mrjas1789:
not working on my mtk6589t 4.2.1 device and RK3188 4.2.2 Device. when i start the Sixaxis app it reach the "listening for controller" but the bluetooth is not ON as the bluetooth icon is not show on the status bar like other device. any fix for that, Thank.
[Android General] sir_earl:
That's normal. More likely there is something wrong about the controllers, such as not being paired correctly, being fake, or needing a reset. Have you tried the version I posted above?
[Android General] Mrjas1789:
I don't think the controller is the problem. I can pair the controller with other android device using this app, only this two giving problem. like i said when i press start on the app the bluetooth on the android device is not turning on like other android device do.

also I have try the Sixaxis Compatibility Checker on the two device it said it compatible. any help will be appreciated.
[Android General] sir_earl:
It's normal with connection type 1 & 2 - the app is manually configuring bluetooth, so the higher level UI is not aware that bluetooth is running. Please try pressing the reset button anyway, just in case... Otherwise, can you send me a logcat after starting the app, pressing 'start', and trying to pair the controller. Thanks.

[Android General] sir_earl:
I have! :) It probably needs some work, but it would be good to hear peoples opinions about how it works. I'm also not sure how many games are actually using vibration, so the feature might not get much use anyway...
[Android General] Fulaeetoy:
I want to try it out. What app and game that supports vibration did you used?

••••• | Sent from GT-P6800 using Tapatalk Pro | •••••
[Android General] vl.maksime:
Try Dead Trigger 2
[Android General] sir_earl:
GTA III has vibration too I believe.

Actually, I've just had an interesting idea for an app that would compliment Sixaxis Controller nicely, and allow almost any game to send vibration, and that is to monitor sound output in games, and trigger vibration depending on how loud and how much bass is detected. This could then be tuned by the user to ensure it's not vibrating too much, or at strange times. Anyone think this might make a good app?
[Android General] Fulaeetoy:
Been waiting for the rumble function on the app. There are many games that does not support vibration and this will make Sixaxis app more enjoyable to play.

sixaxis tool for mac osx needs to be updated

Hi,

I've recently tried to use the instructions for pairing the dualshock controller to a Xperia S (rooted). I've noted the following issues with the whole installation process:

The attached file (sixpair) doesn't download as a file, rather it opens up as a page as it doesn't have a file extension. Upon downloading, .txt extension is suffixed and it took some research on the web to figure out that it needs a '.c' extension to be added to it to run.

The instructions point to 'http://www.ellert.se' website for downloading the libusb components, however, that website has gone ahead and updated it's libraries to support the latest mac os. Therefore, when it is executed, the sixpair.c file looks for the older version of the libusb libraries and therefore, fails.

The entire process for the Mac seems to be an hunting exercise for libraries, correct versions, clarifying instructions, commandline etc. Meanwhile, over a 'http://ringwald.ch/cydia/blutrol/dualshock.html', there are straightforward instructions and one sixaxis pair tool to pair dualshocks to ios devices as long as they're jailbroken. Simple and over in a matter of minutes. Would it be a lot to ask for a similar experience for paying Mac customers of dancing pixels tool?

Thanks

c0ntagi0

Have you had any luck? I can't get it to work, and I don't really have access to a PC so would like to be able to do it on OS X. When I run the ./sixpair MACADDRESS command all I get is this:

Referenced from: /Users/path/sixpair

I am an LG Optimus 4x HD user. I just upgraded to v20b Europe Open, (4.1.2 Jellybean) and it broke SixAxis.

I have heard that SixAxis 0.5.7 works with this version of my firmware I just updated to. I'd love to be able to use SixAxis 0.5.7, but don't have a backup of it. I am a legitimate user of the app - I bought it full price from the Play Store. Any advice on where I can get a legit copy of 0.5.7 from?
[Android General] Damieok:
Has anyone had luck with the Moto G? It doesn't seem to recognize the inputs, but some apps like USB host controller do see the controller. Does Sixaxis Controller have its own implementation so that the controller will work even if the inputs are not recognized natively?

[MENTION=4183459]sir_earl[/MENTION]

We recently moved to a 3.4-based kernel on the HP Tenderloin for CyanogenMod builds. (we actually have a 3.0 kernel as well but experience the same issue).

The compatibility app says we should be good to go, and bluetooth works normally with other devices, but obviously the Sixaxis app does something strange being that it has to turn bluetooth off in order to work.

I'm wondering if you can shed some light on what exactly we need to support in our kernel/bt stack in order to get this working.

Currently the app just sits "Listenting for controllers..."

(It's not a user issue, I can set the MAC for my phone and it connects right up :p)

Thanks in advance.

Galaxy S5 <-> Sixaxis Controller?‏

Hey,

I just bought the'Sixaxis Controller' App because the compatibly checker said it should work. However, i can set the Master Adress for my Controller but i am not able, to connect it to the phone.

Hi,

I use this soft for few years and works fine with my 3 android devices, but today I've got a problem with my new android TV box (beelink M8)

[Android General] SaschaHa:
Not working for me too after updating my Note 2 to Android 4.4.2. There was only one 4.4.2 rom (Phantom v1.0) with sixaxis controller app working (maybe because of an old kernel that still has sixaxis support). All others doesn't.

I've asked the developer of AGNi kernel to add support for sixaxis controllers. He said, he could not find sixaxis support in (latest) 3.X linux kernel.

Seems, that there are some kernel changes that break sixaxis support. I think we have to wait for an update by the developer of Sixaxis controller app to get it working again. Hope he is working on a solution!

Sixaxis + Tasker

I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but, I figured if I could help give back to the community one bit, I'd feel better about myself! I was trying to get the Sixaxis controller working through tasker automatically and found little bits and pieces, but no real "how to" thread. Rather than starting something up new, I figured I'd post my findings here.

Using Tasker:

1.) Run Shell Method:

Action Category "Script" >> "Run Shell"

a.) In "command" section type: "am startservice com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/.SixaxisService" (without the quotes, and yes there is a '.' after the '/')

b.) check "Use Root"

To stop the service, same thing except instead of startservice, use "stopservice"

2.) Send Intent Method:

Action Category "Misc" >> "Send Intent"

a.) Action: "android.intent.action.VIEW"

b.) Cat: "Default"

c.) Package: "com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller"

d.) Class: "com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller.SixaxisService" (no space here between Sixaxis and Service, don't know why it insists on putting a space in the post)

e.) Target: "Service"

Personally, I use option 2 (intent) to start the service and option 1 (shell) to stop it.

Hopefully this helps out someone...the developer wouldn't respond to me, and I couldn't find any actual information except people saying this was doable.

Cheers!
[Android General] SaschaHa:
Tried it but does not work 4 me. I think, it's a kernel problem. The service is starting, but my controllers could not be connected. Only in the first minute after a phone reboot I'm able to connect to my controllers, but the connection will be lost after some seconds and than it is not possible to reconnect. Maybe there are some KNOX or driver related services starting that make the SixaxisService not work
[Android General] morq:
Same problem as for everyone else - controller works only few seconds after booting up the phone. Surprisingly controller works when plugged to the phone via usb port, but that's a dealbreaker (cant use mhl cable + charger).

The tasker solution did not work.

Sixaxis controller dev doesnt respond to my emails.

Bummer :s
[Android General] SaschaHa:
In latest DN3 rom v5.2 (based on Samsung Stock 4.4.2) for Galaxy Note 2 Sixaxis controller is working fine (with other kernels too). So it seems to be rom related and not by kernel. Maybe you could contact the E-Team (responsible for DN3 rom) to aks for changes in latest rom version. In v5+ (latest before the final v5.2) Sixaxis was not working. Maybe they remember the changes of their latest rom or exactly know, what to do. Hope so!

Good luck :)
