This is a Port of the Official PS4 Remote Play App for Android. The mod consists of a single APK file that can be installed on any device that meets the requirements below.

Features:
  • Root Check/APK Signature Check Disabled.
  • Connection Speed Check Removed.
  • Wifi Check Removed.
  • XML/JAR Dependencies Removed.
  • Downgraded Minimum Required SDK to 4.2.
  • Native controller Support for Dualshock - Dualshock Instructions below.
  • Screenshot/recording restriction removed.

Requirements:

Install Instructions:
  1. Download APK.
  2. Copy to device and install or use the adb command "adb install <apk>'' from your PC.
  3. Done!

Dualshock OTG Setup Instructions:
  1. Attach dualshock 4 to device using OTG cable
  2. Ensure you can navigate around device using controller
  3. Launch remoteplay - a dialog should appear asking for USB permission, click OK.
  4. Proceed to start Remote Play, once connected you should be able to control your PS4 using the attached Dualshock 4 controller.

Dualshock Bluetooth Setup Instructions:
  1. Download and Install Sixaxis Controller App
  2. Follow in-app instructions for pairing your controller.
  3. In the sixaxis app preferences ensure 'Enable Gamepad' is checked under 'Gamepad Settings'
  4. Edit mappings in the sixaxis app so that x = A, circle = B, square = X, triangle = Y
  5. Load up remote play app and play!

Known Issues
  1. Although the WiFi restriction has been removed connections over mobile data tend to result in a black screen, nothing I can do about this as it's likely due to the protocol Remote Play uses.
  2. Sixaxis doesn't map the action buttons correctly, see bluetooth instructions above to fix this.

Sorry for double posting

I figured it would be better to put this on this thread since it is focusing on the 1.0 version:

"Great job with this. I have a non-rooted Note 4 with OTG connection to my DS4 on remote play. The controller works now with this, but my only issue is that the button mapping is all over the place. Using the accessibility options on the ps4 doesnt seem to be changing anything since the buttons are still responding the same way for some reason. Any way around this without root (i want to root but unfortunately verizon thinks otherwise). "

This will be due to incorrect key mappings in your android keymap files, I don't believe there is a way to fix that without root when using the controller over OTG, correct mappings can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/root-dualshock-4-correct-keymaps-t2817223

EDIT:

Also worth mentioning that currently the button remapping on the PS4 is only for the controller not remoteplay.

Have you (or anyone) tried just syncing the controller over BT?

On fire tv, RemotePlay works beautifully with Sixaxis and I don't have any button configuration issues but I don't seem to have trigger support for L2 and R2. Would this fix that issue? My Fire tv is rooted so the skies the limit : 3

I assume you're connecting over OTG? I don't have a cable to test myself but probably worth a shot.

Awesome, thank you! Very excited to try this out when I get home. :)

Quick question about this version: does it support the unlocked framerate they added with the latest PS4/Vita firmwares?

Works great!

Confirmed to be working perfectly on my Nvidia Shield Portable. Was able to set both resolution and frame rate to "High" and it ran smooth. Awesome work and thank you!

Just tried bluetooth with the same results, it keeps thinking X is O and Square is X, etc basically all buttons are all over the place. In version 0.7.4, this mapping worked almost perfectly which is confusing as to why it is not now

I am assuming you mean with SixAxis... I meant without it. Turn off Sixaxis and sync it.



1. Turn controller off
2. On your android go to Bluetooth settings and set it to search
3. push and hold the share and PS buttons on your controller
4. wait for it to show up on the phone and pair it.

As long as you are not using one of the near launch controllers (IE old ones with bad thumb sticks too) it should sync right up.

Well im not rooted so I cannot use the Sixaxis App. However, when doing what you said by pairing, I am still getting the controls all over the place. I have a Note 4, version 4.4.4 nonroot
