As reported it works except square is switched with x, and triangle and circle are switched. R2 and L2 don't work at all. The left stick just acts as if it is the dpad and the right one doesn't work. Share button also does nothing, but options works perfectly. Another obvious problem is the playstation button brings you to the phone's home screen automatically. I'm guessing you were aware of a lot of these but I just wanted to make sure. :p

Oh and I went to do a logcat nothing at all shows up when I do "| grep RemotePlay" and so I tried doing a regular logcat and there was nothing about remote play in that either. Shrug.
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Great news. I'll be able to address most of these issues fairly easily now. Unfortunately most (all?) Android devices map the PS button to the home key (this is based on a system configuration file), so the PS button can't be captured by apps. I could add a custom fix for the Sixaxis controller app, but we'll get to that last - you've still got on-screen controls.

Also, some devices will map square, X, triangle and cirle differently, so this could be problematic. Sixaxis controller allows you to change these mappings under 'Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Edit Mappings.

I will add analog sticks and L2 / R2 in the next build.

If anyone can try native gamepads that don't use the Sixaxis app (i.e. controllers with OTG cable) and report their results, that would be helpful too.
[Android Apps and Games] DevaFalc:
Hi otg with sixaxis enabler is how I'm testing it. So far so good only tried out resogun as only had a min but sticks and o / x def working!
[Android Apps and Games] cykotix:
Nothing special. Buy a OTG cable, connect ds4. We connected the ds4 before and after starting the app and in both cases the ds4 worked without rooting the Note 4/Nexus 6/Nexus 7 (2013).
[Android Apps and Games] arqcan:
does anyone know if this is still being worked on?
[Android Apps and Games] MyPeople:
I hope it's improved even if sixaxis controller is needed.

On my note 4 even with sixaxis controller only the left stick is mapped automatically correctly. The rest don't work and also a lot of time is fails to connect the ds4....

Maybe I have to buy an on the go cable but then it's not so wireless as it's suppose to be....
[Android Apps and Games] ysargon:
So what I noticed with the ds4 connected via otg cable is that everything works 100%. Once you hit R2, L3 becomes unresponsive. Everything else still works but then when you hit X it also triggers R2 at the same time. The ds3 does not experience this problem via otg. The ds4 works fine with the sixaxis app but only thing is that the interference with WiFi and Bluetooth makes it unplayable
[Android Apps and Games] Mystery?:
[MENTION=4183459]sir_earl[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5601538]TheScriptKitty[/MENTION], a new official update for remote play has happened. Changelog states lollipop is now supported, but idk if bug fixes or anything else was done to it. Have you guys started working on it?
[Android Apps and Games] TheScriptKitty:
Can you please send me the APK?
[Android Apps and Games] Mystery?:
[MENTION=5601538]TheScriptKitty[/MENTION], How do I do that? I just downloaded it on my T-Mobile Note 3 from the Google Play Store (granted it gives me an error in the beginning probably due to not having a Z3 but yeah).
[Android Apps and Games] TheScriptKitty:
Never mind, i got it.

I'll probably start working on it tomorrow ;)
[Android Apps and Games] djrosko:
Any progress about the next version maybe? ;)

After a hell of getting a connextion with my ps4 all seems to work wel. Except the PS button (works like native android home button).

And off course we all can't whait for Touchpad support :D

Ohyeah i'm working on a Nexus 9 with android 5.0.1 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] crazygoldfish:
Thanks to the shield control the touch pad area can be used to being up the on screen controls and access the ps button
[Android Apps and Games] djrosko:
After some more testing, Beta 5 works okay on the home network, but not over 4G of at the wifi of an other.

Is there any progress about beta 6? :)

PS4 2.5 update requires Android app update...

I recently updated my PS4 to firmware 2.5

There were major changes to how remote play works (adding 60fps support etc) and It is now prompting me to update the Android app. Keeping my fingers crossed for a solution. I've enjoyed playing Bloodborne on my Nvidia Shield. Kinda unfortunate this had to happen right when I started getting into a new game. Thanks for the awesome work!

hello guys i need a solution i want use the gyro on in IF app but the phone have only one command.. and when i want to set up the ps4 contr. it have just one direction .. is there a way to fix that ?? still i use sixaxis -.-*

would be cool if anyone knows a sultion to use gyro like on phone in 2 directions with 1 command
[Android Apps and Games] CLaudioman2009:
what about the CHATPAD, does it also work? it would be awesome to control my phone connected to my tv while i am on the sofa
[Android Apps and Games] trohn_javolta:
Did you try this app? Does it still work? It's a thread from 2015..
[Android Apps and Games] CLaudioman2009:
no
[Android Apps and Games] nicjo814:
Remapping of the buttons worked great, thanks! Will you also have a look at the DS4 tochpad/"touchpad click" "buttons" in coming versions, or is there already some way of using them by configuring sixaxis properly?
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Touchpad won't work without special handling and also an update to the Sixaxis Controller app, but I'll most likely do that at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
If sticks are working, I don't think it could be something I've done. Can you reproduce this on the original port (i.e. The one in this thread).
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
This version should have all digital buttons working (I swapped Square with Cross and Triangle with Circle), both analog sticks should work, and L2 & R2 triggers should also work. I'll look at getting the touchpad going next.
[Android Apps and Games] nschneider350:
Thanks

The newest version works great. All buttons work even L3 and R3. Thanks for this! Only things that aren't working are the touchpad and the PS button. I was able to get around both of these by using mouse mode for the touchpad in Sixaxis Controller. When I need to click the touch pad I scroll to the top and double click. Same basic concept for the PS button. Thanks again for this.. No need now for DS4 pairing through the app.

[Android Apps and Games] DevaFalc:
Seemed to work well last night I'll try it again after work using original apk Thanks for the effort!
[Android Apps and Games] skivnit:
Thanks I will try tonight
[Android Apps and Games] jhanson:
RemotePlayNativeGamepad-Beta1.apk works pretty well for me, but the square and x buttons are swapped. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DevaFalc:
I tested both the original app 0.6.1 and the beta1 posted here. Beta 1 works great woth otg but original 0.6.1 does even see the controller. Whap happen to me a lot is disconnections and garbled images loke every 1 -5 min. Limelight doesnt suffer as badly. Is this common?
[Android Apps and Games] chrmica:
The beta 1 works well with ps4 controller through sixaxis great job and confirm that square and X are swapped

And even triangle and circle seem swapped
[Android Apps and Games] Beartax:
Thanks for making this, it's way better than using touchscreen profiles. I'm using an Nvidia Shield portable (with built in controller) everything works pretty much except for two issues

- Dpad up, down, left, right does not work on the controller, you have to use on screen touch controls for those.

- If for any reason you leave the Remote play app you lose connection to the PS4, when you click Next in Remote play to resume game play it says Cannot connect, then says another person is logged in to Remote play, the only way to fix this is turn WiFi off then back on.. (or reboot device)

Everything else is awesome, if you guys aren't using an Nvidia Shield portable to Remote Play PS4 you're missing out!
[Android Apps and Games] tallnerd1985:
Same scenario as Beartax, works great on the Nvidia Shield Mobile but the D-Pad doesn't register and the hardware back button doesn't kill the session like on a normal touchscreen android.
[Android Apps and Games] blessedyeti:
apk fixes awkwardness with sprint/run , just needs onscreen buttons removed

Brilliant effort. I have posted several times about this issue and no response. Pleasantly surprised someone was working on it. Seems to have no issues, just onscreen buttons. When using DS4 buttons disappear, rather than eliminating all together perhaps could include such a function with other controlers? Buttons disappear when controller engaged.

Anyway, thanks for apk, was beginning to give up on idea of playing BF4, COD on Nvidia Shield.
[Android Apps and Games] turnerm05:
Agree. This works beautifully on my Nexus 7 with a Game Klip and a PS3 controller. Also works very well on my Shield Portable. I just mapped buttons to the dpad for now.
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Should be an easy fix for d-pad. Does the original APK on the other thread also give the 'cannot connect' issue?
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Do the on-screen controls not fade out after a few seconds?
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Interesting. It's possible the original version was disabling the controller when the KeyEvent was received. Ah well - either way I guess it's working.

Do you still get disconnections and garbled images when using the controller over OTG cable? Many devices will show significant interference when there is heavy bluetooth traffic.
[Android Apps and Games] TheScriptKitty:
[MENTION=4183459]sir_earl[/MENTION] did you get my PM?
[Android Apps and Games] tallnerd1985:
sir_earl I am not sure if this is a question for the main thread but can you confirm if the rendering is software or hardware? Is this streaming at 720p or 1080p? Lastly, I think I know but the frame rate looks to be 30fps opposed to 60fps?
[Android Apps and Games] blessedyeti:
onscreen controls reappear when controller activated

It seems they do fade when controller inactive but stay onscreen when controller in use. There is a invisible touch buttons apk with button image removed, but there must be a way to configure similar to DS4 where buttons disappear with active controller.
[Android Apps and Games] turnerm05:
I also noticed that the analog sticks don't seem to respond fully in all scenarios. I tried to play The Golf Club which of course uses the analog stick for swinging. The game acts as if I'm only pulling the stick back very slowly and only about 25% back instead of all the way.

Oddly enough the analogue sticks work perfectly in all other games.
[Android Apps and Games] skanadian:
This reverses it for me on my DS3 and DS4.

I switched them in the gamepad mapping, works for now.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] albie1kanobi:
With otg cable I can get it to work with ps3 controller but ps4 controller t doesn't work right. With ps4 controller only analog, L1,L2,X, and square work. But the buttons are swapped around. Only analog work like they should. Ps3 controller works perfect but I prefer ps4 controller. Anyway to fix this or do I have to wait for an update? Oh and I'm not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] chrmica:
Would like to add that while trying to play it disconnects constantly and it's nearly unplayable comparing it to a vita on same access point vita had no issues so it seems controller is affecting remote play performance
[Android Apps and Games] ianrobbie:
Where is the option to remap your gamepad? I can't find it anywhere!
[Android Apps and Games] nicjo814:
How about adding support to sixaxis for button remapping profiles? Then all the switching between button functions could easily be handled there while keeping the remoteplay app a little "simpler". Otherwise the remoteplay app needs to take all sorts of connection/game pads into consideration and do proper button remapping. Or am I wrong in my assumption on how this works?
[Android Apps and Games] DevaFalc:
Sadly yes I do. Was wondering if tweaking network at home

Would help but don't seem to :(

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

In my case using otg cable, button mappings do not show on screen as gamepad is mapped to os vs mapped to screen
[Android Apps and Games] jdog_12345:
Almost there...

Thanks for all the efforts. I wish I had this kind of talent to do things like this. I am running a rooted stock S4 and with the latest APK (RemotePlayNativeGamepad-Beta1.apk) I have noticed that there is substantially more lag. Anyone else notice that as well? The DS4 was working with the directional pad but nothing else. If anyone else out there has an S4 let me know your settings (if you got it to work that is).

Thanks again for all your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] nicjo814:
I can report the same thing with sixaxis and beta 1, almost everything working as it should. Share button doesn't work, but that's no problem for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] turnerm05:
I haven't noticed even the slightest bit of lag. Are you saying you used another APK and didn't notice any lag and now you are seeing some with this APK?
[Android Apps and Games] nicjo814:
I had a lot of issues with lag/disconnections on my Z2 tablet when first trying out the official remote play app. The following steps have helped me eliminating almost all such issues:

Make sure the PS4 is wired connected to your network

Connect with 5GHz from your android device to your network (the DS4 communicates with bluetooth on 2.4 GHz like "standard" WiFi causing disconnections when the DS4 connects to your device).

Disable location services on your android device since it sometimes communicates via WiFi

These are issues with the remote play app itself and not really associated with this port.
[Android Apps and Games] Beartax:
If connecting your PS4 wired isn't possible because of where your router and PS4 are, I suggest going on Amazon and buying "Powerline adapters" This will allow you to carry the ethernet connection over the electrical wires in your home.

[Android Apps and Games] blessedyeti:
Is an invisible touch buuton version possible

On the Nvidia Shield the onscreen controls stay visible while controller is active, this obscures the map on FPS games. There is already a InvibleTouchVersion, perhaps this feature can be added to NativeControl apk? Thks.
[Android Apps and Games] turnerm05:
It disappears for me. It only pops up in those rare instances where I have to use a mapped touch screen command for the dpad.
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Are you sure you're not using something like tincore to map some buttons to the screen? Do the on-screen controls disappear if you don't press any buttons for a few seconds?
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Assuming you're using the Sixaxis app, this might be to do with the poll rate of the analog sticks. Does it improve if you go to 'Sixaxis Settings->Gamepad Settings->Analog Poll Rate' and set that to 1 (i.e. poll every frame)?
[Android Apps and Games] blessedyeti:
problem solved - game mapper was checked in settings

Thanks, game mapper was the culprit. Controls now disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] Sievo666:
Can't thank you enough for this and as soon as it's in a working state (full button support for ds4 in remote play don't forget the sprint lol) make sure you post ur paypal and I will happily donate!
[Android Apps and Games] turnerm05:
I didn't have Sixaxis running but I'm going to completely delete it and then see what happens. Maybe it's somehow still impacting things.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Using the beta app, I was able to get a Dualshock 3 + OTG cable + Verizon Note 4 (not rooted!) to work! All buttons appear to work, it's amazing!

When plugging in a Dualshock 4 the same way, I seem to have roughly the same problems as other people in this thread. Random buttons are swapped, the D pad doesn't appear to work, etc.

Amazing work so far!

Lag or controller calibration?

I see what some mean by lag on this version. The analog movement seem out of sync with stick movement ie it swings too far left and right, does not allow for finer movement. Overall, feel is not as fluid as on console. Can't think why that would be? But not sure it is lag. Thks
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
Are you seeing this with OTG cable, with the Sixaxis Controller app, or both? If it's happening over OTG I don't think there will be an easy solution, although it's possible I could be passing the wrong range through to the Remote Play API.
[Android Apps and Games] sieses:
I can confirm this too, galaxy s4 4.4.2 rooted, only happens when using sixaxis controller app + Ds4. , when i use otg + sixaxis enabler + Ds3 it works perfect , no lag at all button mapping al corect.

But one of your earlier versions, test 6 i believe had less trouble streaming when using sixaxis controller from my experience ,only those buttons got screwed up.

Lag or controller calibration?

This is my setup: Nvidia Shield Portable using integrated controller, USB Ethernet adapter OTG connected to power line (also tried connected to router directly)

Do I use sixaxis app as well to calibtate ?

Not sure if it is lag or controller issue, didn't seem to happen on original apk. Everything else seems fine except for aiming movement with R3 and a general sense it is not as fluid as DS4.

I will try connecting DS4 to see if any improvement. Also try original apk. Otherwise all seems to be working as it should.
[Android Apps and Games] sir_earl:
I've (hopefully) added support for Nvidia Shield, X-box 360, Samsung GP20, as well as others.

When reporting your findings, please post details of your device, controller and whether you're using the Sixaxis Controller app, OTG cable, etc.

As before, I don't have access to my PS4, so this version is largely untested.
[Android Apps and Games] Beartax:
Thanks! Is there a changelog? I'd like to make a video tutorial on Youtube, I made a video already showing Remote Play working on a Shield but with a different modded Remote Play. Your version is already superior so I'm just waiting for some of the obvious issues to get fixed but it's great so far. Keep up the good work it's appreciated.

I've just tested my xbox 360 wireless controller on a Amazon fire TV with beta 2 and i get no response from any button, however parts of it did work in test 7 [triggers didn't and a few others too], however it does work on beta 1. I also tested the dualshock 4 which pairs to the Fire tv and works in the menu, but does nothing once it within the app on either beta 1 or 2

Ok on beta 1 these buttons don't work [as in you press and nothing happens] on the dualshock 4;

the whole d-pad

L2 & R2

Share button

and the Playsation button.

On Beta 1 the following xbox 360 wireless controller these button do not work;

L trigger [L2] and R Trigger [R2]

start button [options button]

Its kinda odd that on the xbox controller the xbox button takes you home out of the app but the PS4 button does not. Also that the share button works on the xbox and not the dualshock, and that options works on the dualshock but not the xbox.

hopefully this info is helpful for someone.

After some investigating it seems it's your sixaxis app itself that reverses the top and bottom buttons by default which is why a couple of us reported the buttons being switched earlier and why others are saying it's switched now
