[KERNEL]Kernel with full support for XBox 360 / One controllers[v1.3]

socksi · Nov 13, 2016

Because of the annoying constantly blinking LEDs of the wireless Xbox 360 controller I decided to compile an updated kernel myself.
I was Inspired by this post.
This kernel is 100% Nvidia source. The only difference is the backported xpad driver.
It is intended for use with Nvidia Shield Marshmallow firmware including zulu99's StockRestyle and full Android Marshmallow firmwares.

I have only tested it with the Pro model. It has been reported that it works with the 16GB model also.
Xbox One controllers are working also but only wired.
You can test the kernel by booting the new kernel with fastboot boot boot_xpad.img before flashing it.
If you are using systemless SuperSU (v2.56+) keep in mind that you will lose root when you flash or boot a new kernel.

Installation:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot_xpad.img

Afterwards you can install SuperSU again by booting into recovery and installing the SuperSU.zip.

Download:

Now someone just needs to find a way to get the XBOX One controller to work with the XBOX ONE PC dongle.

Have you tried it with the PC dongle?

No, but pretty sure the XBOX ONE controller does not work. THough the 360 does.

Anyone confirm if this works on 16GB model?

I just got my 16GB shield TV and would like to use my 360 wireless controllers.

hello i have the 500GB Pro Model and the 1.1 Kernel is working great....my wireless 360 controller and a wired one are working perfect....only wished there were force feedback support in Android....i know some emus can enable rumble effect......
Thank you for sharing.....any other improvements you want to implement to the Kernel?

Any chance to have something similar with dualshoch ? Would be awsome.

The Dualshock 3/4 work just fine via USB, and if you're rooted you can try sideloading the Sixaxis app to pair via USB. It doesn't advertise as being compatible with Android TV though.

I'd try it myself, but I don't particularly want to root this device, as I've already had it replaced under warranty :S

works very well on StockRestyle, thanks!

1) Has anyone tried the kernel on 16 GB version yet?

2) Is the real stock kernel from 500 GB version 100% identical to the 16 GB kernel?

3) I've read somewhere that the stock kernel didn't change with 3.1, is this true?

Trying it right now.

Can you make another kernel for 5.1 version?

I got no feedback yet if it works with the 16GB model also. I've extracted both kernels from the factory image and they look almost identical.

The firmware 3.0.0 kernel is definitely NOT identical with the firmware 3.1.0 kernel.
At the moment I'm compiling the kernel with the updated xpad driver and will upload it when it's finished.

Okay, thank you. I'll wait at least for the 3.1 version, but I don't know how great the risk is to boot or even install the kernel if it's not intended for the 16 GB version.

Do I need the xbox 360 pc dongle to get my 360 gamepad working with the Shield TV, or this Kernel. I had thought the 360 gamepad controller was bluetooth but it seems it is not. I have Zulu99 full 6.0 installed.

Yes, you need the dongle. You can pair multiple controllers with the dongle.

Is there any way to get the wireless Xbox 360 D-Pad to work on zulu99's full version of android marshmallow?
