A suggestion for all sixaxis users:

If you have a device like MK802 or Minix Neo G4 (android hdmi stick) and you want play with all android games with your ps3 controller, you can use sixaxis app overtop of the droidmote client to use a sixaxis controller wirelessly.

Is simple:

1) Install DroidMote Server on the Android mini pc / Android hdmi stick

2) Install DroidMote Client and SixAxis app on your android phone

3) Create a SixAxis touch profile for DroidMote Client

4) Enjoy

In DroidMote Client you can load different touch profiles for different games, but the touch profile of SIXAXIS is always one, the touch profile of DroidMote Client.

In other words, you will use DroidMote as a middleman of sorts.

The beautiful thing is that you can use the same technique to control also Windows and Linux games, but this time you will use DroidMote Server for Windows and DroidMote Server for Linux for free.

Happy new year and have fun !
[Android General] lambstone:
Can I used sixaxis with droidmote without having a client connected?
[Android General] zulu99:
no you must create a sixaxis touch profile for DroidMote Client. (only one) . in this mode using your sixaxis controller you move DroidMote Client that automatically control DroidMote Server.

In this mode you have also the ability to extend the bluetooth range, because droidmote work on wifi.

to write with the keyboard of your phone on the remote device, voice dictation, gesture typing.

you can click on all menu buttons in all games with the new TouchMouse

and when you are in the game, if you prefer you can use your sixaxix controller to play.

example:

you are on your couch with your sixaxis controller connected to your phone with sixaxis app via bluetooth, and the phone via wifi control automatically DroidMote Server.

The result is that you play the remote game with your sixaxis controller in all android devices.

you can use the same technique also to play with your sixaxis controller windows 8 multi-touch games.
[Android General] lambstone:
I see. Now I get what you mean. Was hoping to be able to turn those android tv sticks into a gaming console for extended gaming sessions but if that means I have to leave my phone on all the time, I probably won't do it this way. But all in all, this is a good alternative solution.

i have htc sensation with sense (ARHD) and I can't pair with mi sixaxis controller, why?
[Android General] [MajorPain]:
0.6.1 was working perfectly on my cm10 rom. Since I switched to EOS4 for tf101 it's no longer working. App has root permissions from supersu but still gives notification about hci raw mode blah blah and it couldn't configure bluetooth.

Anyone having simular issues?
[Android General] pillz128:
In the next versions they'll be adding more compatibility for the non official controllers.

BullHorn7 I bought my original refurbished from dealextreme for 30$

it works well, except one analog that seems to be faulty.

Now I really needed some help by making a task with "Tasker" which would automatically turn start the sixaxis service. The point is to make a NFC tag to put on the support, so when I put the phone there, It'd automatically turn it on.

I wrote an email to the support team, and they said " This can be achieved using 'Tasker' to start the service

'com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller.SixaxisService'. "

But again, I can't get it to work even though I tried to search in the whole internet. Can anyone help me? I bet it's simple as hell, but well..

Has anyone tested Gametech Sixaxis controller ( GT-1008041C) with this app? Half price compared to Sony original so was hoping to save some money :)

All htc devices doesnt support this app :( solution is flash cyanogenmod. All other roms can't work with this app.

PS Hope, sir_earl can bring this great app to htc devices with default roms :)
[Android General] Sieteuno:
Thank you very much for your response.

Pffffff this is a really bad new for me. What is the reason? I dont believe it... :crying:

Is Cyanogenmod rom the only solution? What about the dev team? Are they trying to fix this problem? :(

Is there any other app like sixaxis controller that runs on htc stock rom devices?

:crying::crying:

Thanks again

Best regards
[Android General] the_fest:
Also you can try flash MIUI roms. And I hear that this app run with stock HTC one x android 4.1(don't know what rom is it) and with ARHD ICS with Sense Rom.

Also I can't found same apps :(
[Android General] Sieteuno:
Thank you again mate

Im going to try Cyanogenmod. I will publish the results in a couple of days...

Best regards

With CM 10.1 Sixaxis controller works flawless...

sixaxis mt6577

my phone caught on error about mediatek bluetooth device (mine was phone based on mt6577). is there any support for the device yet?. mt6577 based phone are going wild in the market. i think there are a lot of users out there.
[Android General] Stammis:
So I got the ps3 controller today and I paired it properly, then I tryed playing on Nes and SnesDroid but only the D-pad, analog stick, select and start button works. I entered preferences in the sixaxis app and changed so that the circal button was A and cross button was B and so on but it did not help, even worse the retroarch app doesnt work at all with the controller. Anyone that has any idea what I should do?

Nvm I just had to change the input on the emulators properly
[Android General] torresfelipe:
Unfortunately, this app doesn't work on AOKP IceColdJelly for HTC One X. Although it says that it's listening for controllers, I had no success trying to pair my Sixaxis with it.

Does anybody here knows why this app works only with CyanogenMod? Is it ever going to work with other custom roms?
[Android General] ARPwizard:
Sixaxis has worked on a couple of touchwiz (stock) based custom ROMs for the Galaxy S2 i777

If you restored the app from backup, you will need to clear data from the app in this instance.

[Android General] dincp:
I dirty flashed CM. It didn't dawn on me that it would affect it since I wasn't having other issues. Uninstall and reinstall did the trick. Thanks.
[Android General] berserkwarwolf:
Please add an option to auto start listening when sixaxis is launched.

Love the app !
[Android General] Johan1976:

Would it be possible to have automatic detection of game active with touch profiles linked. Then you don't need to select appropriate profile when starting allready configured game.

same hci problem

it seems that they have done somthing with the hci liabrary? i get same problem with sgs3 on ARHD 30.1 (4.2.1) with 0.6.1, infact it seems multiple apps have problem controlling the bluetooth
[Android General] sir_earl:
Finally got a chance to look into this. Fortunately the fix seems to be fairly simple - Samsung is using the new bluetooth library which is good, but they've changed the library names and paths. It will be a couple of days before I get a fix up, but in the meantime, if you're keen to get it going asap you can copy the library under '/system/lib/hw/bplus.default.so' to '/system/lib/libbt-hci.so'. You will first need to remount the system partition with write access using something like 'mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system' from a terminal. After that, it should just work!

Thanks!
[Android General] ba114:
I'm using this successfully with a UG007 tv stick, however i'm wanting to get it to start the pairing process after startup as i intend on using the sixaxis as the only source on navigation.

is there a way i can start the service automatically rather than having to click on Start every time?

thanks
[Android General] Haris1977:
ba114 i think it can be done easily by the developer. You should write to him asking to import an option for auto start sixaxis app+service start
[Android General] campzalot:
My phone doesn't find my sixaxis controller. My BT address matched the one of my phone. I went through all the necessary steps. First did it on my Mac using the Terminal. Didn't work. Then I tried it with windows and the .exe software. Again, matched the address but didn't pair with my phone. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It tells me my phone is compatible but still won't work.

Can anyone help please?
[Android General] scar45:
I'm also having issues with Sixaxis on a Note 2 (t0lte) since 4.2.x. I cannot figure out what the root of the problem is though. Running AOSP/CM/AOKP, I have tried different kernels but always get the "Could not set hci raw mode". Maybe it's the Exynos / BT modules in my ROM (RootBox), as the i9300 owners also had the same problem. I have the latest version (0.6.4) which appears to have a fix for Samsung 4.2 kernels, but again, I'm using AOSP. It did, however, work flawlessly in 4.1.2.

I've created a Pastebin of logcat that shows the details after tapping "Start" to when the original BT state resumes (post-fail). Hoping sir_earl can have a peek.

These few E/ lines may be a clue, but I don't know enough to conclude that:

E/bt-btif ( 4015): Calling BTA_HhEnable
E/bt-btif ( 4015): ## btif_config_get assert section && *section && key && *key && name && *name && bytes && type failed at line:182 ##
E/bt-btif ( 4015): btif_storage_get_adapter_property service_mask:0x140040

** EDIT ** - I should have mentioned that when it does return to original state after failing, it connects back to my BT Headset/home phone device (in case that shows in the logs).

I'm missing this sixaxis functionality so much, thanks in advance for any help/guidance. Even more thanks to sir_earl for the hard work he's put in recently with the rewrite/updates!
[Android General] sir_earl:
The first thing to try is clearing data from the Sixaxis app, as it saves the connection method that last worked and sometimes a firmware update will change the connection method and confuse the Sixaxis app. In the case of the 4.2.x firmware, Android has switched to a new bluetooth stack that Samsung has probably also switched over to on their new firmware releases (with any luck this will result in more compatibility across the board in the long term).
[Android General] scar45:
I can't believe I never thought of wiping the data, BUT IT WORKED! :victory:

Might be something to put in the Play Store description/change logs? Forgive me if it already is, because if that's the case, I surely missed it.

Thanks again for such a uniquely awesome utility sir_earl!
[Android General] fpsfreak209:
i agree.the sixaxis app needs autostart.
[Android General] sdemius:
Please, could you add changes in sixaxis controller from market?
[Android General] Haris1977:
When i hit start in sixaxis controller an error saying "no touchscreen found.attempting to create device" and then the app hungs

[Android General] not.plugged.in:
not sure if this has been answered yet or not but having a little trouble with six axis and some emulators here perhaps you guys can help me. ive been able to map most of them pretty well but i am having a hard time with gbcoid and snesoid not doing my start and sometimes select buttons correctly. i can get everything else to work but when i press the two center ones nothing happens or it will bring up the menu or take me back to my homescreen. so far my workaround is having to touch the screen to use these and that can be a hassle. Am i binding the keys correctly? Any suggestions on how to map it so i can get full function out of this controller?
[Android General] sdemius:
sir_earl, I changed your controller app so that it did not send init 6 bytes for the genuine controller and all working well. My fake controller was hanging because of these 6 bytes.
[Android General] shazmekool:
Hi Earl,

I am having issue with JB updates, for some reason BT driver is not starting for sixaxis app, it was working fine in ICS, however in ICS when I stopped the app it also stopped my wifi but this is different story, for now I need help on my JB updates.

I have tried cleaning data/fresh installation...etc nothing worked. below is screenshot taken of error when checking compatibility.

I am using - LG Optimus 4X HD
[Android General] lawslb15:
I just bought a new bluetooth headset but it turns out sixaxis disables all other bluetooth decises when enabled

is there anyway around this so I can use my ps3 controller and bluetooth headset simultaneously??
[Android General] Fulaeetoy:
I also tried this on ps3 wireless keypad and sixaxis controller. Doesn't work.

[Android General] perfectslim:
I have exactly the same problem in my HTC One. I have the Android Revolution ROM, ¿maybe is this the problem?
[Android General] shazmekool:
I think its app compatibility issue with JB which Earl(Six Axis developers) should have fixed but sadly they are not looking interested to help us, also I don't know Playstores complain area to complain about this, since its a paid app.

Anyway for now I have switched back to ICS where I have only 1 issue that every time when I stop this app my wifi also gets stopped then I have to restart the phone to use wifi again.

If you get any solution please do share it here :)
[Android General] OperationNT:
Hello everybody,

I have the exact same issue as shazmekool (so, I could post the same screenshot :p ) on my LG Optimus L9 running on official JB ROM.

So, as I understand, there won't be any fix ?

EDIT : As it is specified on their web site, a custom ROM is mandatory on some phones (it should include my phone).

[Android General] gordonhimoura:
Hi guys, just one quick question.

I have my genuine ps3 controller paired with my psp go already. Will it unpair the controller from the psp go if i pair it with the android device? Thanks!
[Android General] dteg:
shazmekool has got it right. from what i've been researching thus far it's a JB issue. wish i had known that before i updated 3 hours ago...
[Android General] Mazeri:
Is it possible to disable gamepad mode directly from the controller? For example, using the power/ps3 button as an on/off switch for gamepad mode? Or a way to get back to that option without having to touch the phone?

Planning to use my gs3 like a roku/ouya but when using gamepad mode I have to walk over the device manually every time I want to disable it.
[Android General] Guru Zeb:
No offence but maybe doing some research prior to whining about making complaints would have been much more useful.

The JB issue is very obviously ROM related i have a new Hyundai T7 tablet with JB 4.2.2 installed Sixaxis works perfectly

just like it does on my HTC Desire Z thats still running ginger bread.

So please do your homework prior to calling Earl on lack of support, cause the truth is this guy has done more for the Android scene than most posters here could dream of.

Also i feel compelled to point out that Earls app is barely a paid app £1.70 get a grip. PEOPLE especially adult people have lives which often involve work and mortgage payments etc, time for PROJECTS can be highly constrained. So *****ing that your not getting updates every 3 days is kinda immature.

So basically some of you guys pls chill and be a little more supporting ... than just demanding lill kids !!!!!!!!!!
[Android General] shazmekool:
Listen buddy I know how to do home works prior to request for support like many other users who are suffering lack of support (Not even a reply after several months).

Its obviously rom issue but definitely not going to work on my stock rom(also tried on most custom roms as well and not going to unlock bootloader for cyanogen roms which will void my warranty), there were issues even on my ICS stock rom but workable (Wifi stopped to work after using this app everytime then I had to restart phone - for which I had emailed Earl on Feb but no feed back yet) then after JB update issues got worst - No BT is detected.

Also about price this amount is still enough when most of the apps are free also I am not rich enough to let go after paying for an app which is not compatible with my device even without saying a word to developer.

You are lucky that its working with your device else you would be behaving like a lil kid here!
[Android General] Guru Zeb:
No m8 !!! Thats exactly where your wrong ....... i would not be acting like a lill kid. Because am not and i understand that

apps dev is mostly a hobby for most devs.

As previously stated they mostly have full time jobs, mortgages, car payments, kids to put through collage, elder relative to help care for, etc etc.

Its pretty obvious to anyone who stops to think for an un-self-absorbed moment actually!!!!

As result of the above responsibilities in adult life, or others like having to go to make some effort to pass College, you need to

realise really small apps don't get nightly builds. For months in the arly days Earl was putting out 2-3 updates a week and cooking up custom sixaxis vers to try and solve peoples issues. Every once in awhile he drops off the radar here for awhile, as he probs has pressing business in his main life. We always seem to get kids crying about it ..... seems like most have no perceptive beyond themselves.

Earls last update was 25th of may ..... doesn't really sound like an unsupported app to me son :rolleyes:

Your attitude is particularly distasteful to me as it sounds very much like its a Hardware/ROM combo thats causing your issues.

Cannot expect 100% compat and support of software you paid £1.7 for.

Maybe rather than moaning that your £1.7 didn't get you platinum support maybe you should look into compatible ROMS. As i have and flash appropriately. Or just show a little mature patience. Earl works very hard on this app ... don't know what people expect.
[Android General] shazmekool:
:) I am an adult too, married as well working in IT MNC, I know how busy life could be and may be because of that even I dont have time to bombard the forums and dev email inbox for support, just mentioned 1-2 times no support then ignored because I dont have time to keep pushing devs for their defective app for my phone (LG 4X HD/ Tegra 3).

Also I dont care about their personal issues(busy life) until they themself shares to get more time, however I dont seem that he is not supporting this app but definitely not focusing on HD 4X users :( ..I had bought this app on Jan since then I have emailed dev with my issues asking him if he needs any log or anything to see into this issue but he never seems interested in providing any help.

Also if he is selling something with commitment of providing support then he should do it no one knows or cares about how busy they are that its almost 6 months and still they dont get time to reply me a line and if they cant provide support at all then just make it free app so download-er expects no support what so ever.
