hello,

i was wondering if its possible, to put the driver from android 4.2 jelly bean into a newer android, in my case android 9.

i have a wireless controller with a wifi dongle, which doesnt work on my newer head unit with android 9. (why is that so?)

with an usb host controller app they are visible. but no controlls work.

well when i use "usb bt joystick" app i can create a driver but thats not the same. (cant get dpad to work)

with my old head unit, jelly bean 4.2, it works perfect.

controller are shenzen pc/ps3/android gamepads.

my idea was to extract the driver from jelly bean via adb ? maybe and then push the file to android 9. are they the same ?

since im a noob and im not into android development i dont have a clue. maybe one of you guys could help me.

thank you.

Simply copying over a driver isn't enough. The driver must get added to Android's kernel.
Hey, good morning. I fast checked google couldnt find anything. Need more time.
Need to go to the doc for the baby.

maybe if its okay to ask could u give me a push to the right direction ? Will this work over adb ?so When i get home itll be easier.

thanks for the effort.
