Hello!!! I can't get my fire HD 8" 2017 to work with my PS4 controller nor a Xbox one controller either. Tried Bluetooth and OTG... With Bluetooth it says it syncs, but the controller doesn't do anything. With the OTG cable, it doesn't even connect. Anybody has an idea of what is going on? Is there something I'm missing? Any workarounds? Is this issue only on the Fire 8?

Thanks, but that doesn't work. It is the first thing i tried. The tablet says the controller is synced, but it doesn't do anything. You try to move with the d-pad or joystick, push any buttons, nothing happens.

Game controllers and Amazon devices (FireOS in particular) rarely play nice. Been at this since 2nd gen HD 2012. You *may* get it to work - probably not.

Hello Davey! I've had plenty of help from u before.
Do you know why is that? They work perfect with android.
There's videos on YouTube of ppl syncing them with the Fire tablet as well.
In any case, do you know any alternative for the awful on screen controls. Im trying to use retroarch, so my kid can play old Mario games. He's in love with them.

Sorry but it looks like your stuck. You can't dowgrade to a fermware that can root. Try finding a generic controler or find one that says It's spports Android. Here's a form about the moga gamepad

While based loosely on Android FireOS is heavily modified to suit Amazon's intentions for this device which most certainly does not included gaming on competitor's hardware. Amazon chose not to support certain Android capabilities which likely includes generic gaming controller support. Best guidance if using Amazon gizmos is to follow YouTube vids if someone else has figured out his to do it. Otherwise consider a different device that runs generic Android.

Awesome! I just need an HDMI cable, since I got the dock already. Can't wait!
My apologies for the ignorance but please elaborate.
So I can put my S7 in the dock, HDMI out to the tv and use a Wii remote to control the game on my S7?
What apps and settings do I need to make this happen?

I don't know, though, if this supports the analog controllers with the Classic Controller on PSX4Droid (that's what I'm hoping for), but it'll work fine for the Wiimote, nuncheck, and Classic using the digital controls for sure. The app itself does support analog input, but the emulator dev has to enable it. I haven't had time to test it out, yet (darned HC ROM taking up all my free time ).
When it scans for my Wii controller it doesn't see it. Am I forgetting something?

Yes, I use Snesoid and the wiimote app and I can play snes roms on my tv using the hdmi out on the dock and a regular wii remote. Been playing different roms for the last couple weeks, don't know if psx works or not though.

I replied to you on another thread; probably the same thing here. Streakdroid has known kernel issues that affect bluetooth. Switch to rooted or stock 2.2.2.
Yep the dock works well. Thing I cant figure out tho. Audio doesnt output through the hdmi?? Seems I have to use Line Out for sound or the device itself.
Also learned using the wiimote, I can control the tablet menus and so as well. No need to use the touch screen. =D
Was playing F-zero X last night hehe.
Wish the HDMI out worked on Honeystreak...
I'm considering to buy a kindle fire hd, after I returned a Nexus 7 due to its lack of HDMI and quality issue.
Hardware wise, KFHD has everything I need. But the only thing concerns me is if it supports the sixaxis controller app from google play? Could someone confirm this? This app needs root.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm a light gamer and like to use a ps3 controller to play some games on KFHD connected to an external monitor for better viewing.
Right now, I'm playing modern combat 3 on my samsung s2 connected to an external monitor via MHL cable, but it has some resolution and lag problems. I want to upgrade to a tablet with full HDMI.
Please let me know if you have some insight?
Thanks

Ok so the app works and recognizes the controller, BUT, I havnt figured out how to allow input by the controller since kfhd's keyboard settings does not have any options for input. Will have to do some research on a work around or wait till someone figures it out a way.

Ok I can confirm it works. After downloading nook tools (thanks to timurg for posting the link on a different thread) to gain access to the hidden language and keyboard settings and enabling input from the controller.

See thing is, many Android handsets have USB host or USB OTG, and the OS lets you install drivers. Windows Phone is done 'differently'. Some would say better. I... wouldn't. Not for this sort of thing.
You might have some luck with a Bluetooth controller, maybe even the PS3 controller, but I didn't find anything when I looked (a while ago). You'd need apps to support it which I'm guessing they wouldn't anyway.

Do you mean control the phone with your 360? Or control your 360 with your phone?
I don't know about 360 controlling phone, but download and install Smartglass and your phone becomes a controller for the 360. Its more of a 'neeto' thing than anything practical for controlling a game. Works good for other elements such as watching movies or other apps like that.
I native emmc installed CM 10.1 on my Nook HD+ but when I run the Sixaxis app my ps3 controller is not connecting. I am running the the 6-12 zip.I know the two are compatible be cause im running the same set up on my Galaxy s2. Any else experiencing this issue?
Yes I am also having this issue. No matter how I swing it I cannot get the sixaxis controller to connect to the nook HD+ running the 6-13 rom.
I've been having the same issue since going native 10.1. Missing my six axis love! On the 6/15 release.

Still not working
I can verify with the newest 6-29 zip. Sixaxis app still is not working. I thought for sure with new in-kernel Bluetooth driver the app would work.
Not working here
I am running the 6/29/13 Rom and can confirm sixaxis not working as well. Wonder what the story is?:crying:

I just saw this threat so here is my two cents; the 0630 rom does not work with the PS3 Dual Shock Controller using BT either. I too hope it gets fixed.

Thought I'd provide an update, I emailed the author of Sixaxis given that it could be an issue on the app end (although I suspect it might be the bluetooth driver, which I understand has been moved into the kernel) , given I don't know specifically how it is written.
Hope this issue gets resolved as i would like to flash cm 10.1 but will stick with stock for now.

I have not had a chance to try the Sixaxis yet on this tablet (hopefully soon) but I have CM 10.1 on EMMC and the Moga Pocket controller both with the official Pivot application and MOGA Universal from the Play Store work great!

Fishtick, does Moga work with emulators as well? I might have to get this since I can't get generic usb controllers to work with my CM on Nook.
Ok so the MOGA works with cm 10.1 on nook HD + through blue tooth?
That's strange Verygreen says ps3 controller will not work as it has to do with some bug in cm 10.1 for tablets.
but yet MOGA works...Fishtick, do you have the MOGA Pro? if not which one do ye have?
Alex check out the amazon reviews, the first one indicates it works with all these emulators:
ePsxe, N64oid, Snesoid, Nesoid, Atarioid, Gameboid, M.A.M.E4Droid, GBCoid, and Gearoid.
I too am frustrated that the ps3 controller with six axis doesn't work.
You can get it working, but requires a usb gender changer and a usb hub to
connect the ps3 controller via usb. blue tooth is not working.

Sorry, missed this before. You can get MOGA Universal from the Google Play Store and this allows you to map buttons for all the emulators I have tried. It is great. I use the Pocket one and can't speak for the Pro version.

Thanks, Fishtick! I was able to borrow a USB hub from my dad and it actually fixed all my usb device problems. Now I use the USB/BT Joystick app with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JAU20W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a ps2 to usb adaptor as well.
I'll definitely be keeping the MOGA on my wishlist though!
fyi today only the moga pocket controller is 50% off! ($ 20 new) at moga site.
use promo code: SOCG12
So verygreen's CM builds have been officially added to the list of supported devices. Hopefully with nightly builds we will be getting a working connection between ds3 and our nook.

my local gamestop didn't have any left so I got the red samarai BT controller for 24.99 works great!
no software needed to make it work either. I'm running CM 10.1 July 19ish build.
it has a switch for Gamepad mode and BT Keyboard mode for key remapping too.
First post, thanks for this great forum!
Wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in the Q&A forum so forgive me if I've misposted.
First, I'm sure the answer is yes, but are the sixaxis ps3 controllers still limited to rooted nook HD's?? I've done alot of seaching and I've seen ICS natively supports them so I was hoping it had changed.
Second, can the wii u pro controller connect to a stock nook HD through a wii controller app the same as a wii controller?
I've searched both these topics here and elsewhere without a dinfinitive answer so hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread.
Thanks in advance!
So Sixaxis is supposed to work for a rooted Nook HD+? I haven't been able to get it working.
i have a dual shock 3 that works but you need to change the mac address of the controller first (via an app on pc/mac), then i used the sixaxis app from the play store to connect the controller. i'd be interested in checking out the wii u pro controller but i've been content just using the wiimote w/ the classic pro controller attached and it's working just fine for me, even if it is a bit clunky to carry all that stuff around. if you don't feel like putting in the legwork you could always just pay the $34.99 for a moga controller since it's probably the closest you'll get to an official android controller

Sorry its likely a silly question but Im thinking of buying a controller but Ive never owned a games console. Do I need a wired one or a usb, or blue tooth one to use with my nook?
