At least we have OTG mode on sensation for now. But sixaxis controller app doesnot support wired connections. That means we dont have touch emulation mode.

I tried MIUI different MIUI roms today and also loved MIUI. But the bad news for me is that wireless controller does not work on MIUI roms like Sense roms. I tried to find something by googling etc. but got nothing.

Maybe cuz the latest MIUI Roms are based on sense. Sense is weird, my ps3 controllers haven't worked since my EVO 4g, then the 3D. It works fine with aosp roms

Haha this all over again.

Like already stated, the Bluetooth stacks in HTC Sense based ROMS are incompatible with Six Axis app.

But, doesn't ICS natively support controllers via USB? It might be a work around for those that don't want to move off Sense.

Have a look at this little guy...

Pity its not available for more models.

ICS supports wired controllers, yes (otg supported kernel needed), but only a few games support controllers (virtua tennis, riptide hd, shadowgun, and a few more). So we need a touch emulation mode, therefore the sixaxis controller app to play other games. But the Sixaxis Controller app only supports wireless connections, which sense roms do not. And i cannot have a look at the link, its under maintenance :)

Kernel related. HTC uses a custom and stupid bluetooth stack. There's no "fix" but to use an AOSP kernel, which obviously won't work in Sense.
How can you be sure that it is kernel related? If so, i think it should be easier to fix it.

By the way Sixaxis Controller works well on HTC One X with Sense 4 rom : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq4H3PFwyMA
And a member in this forum said that it works on One S sense based roms, too. Only root required.

Yes, very true about touch emulation. Because it is a real shame that so very few games are supported. A lot of people do purchase the more expensive 3D games, and I'm sure they would be willing to spend a little bit more on an app that allowed controller use on all games that were applicable. (FPS, Action games, etc). There would have to be half decent money in that! Haha!

Strange, I just tried the link and it was fine. Anyway it's a smart phone clip for a PS3 controller. They don't make them for many phones though.

Oh really? Well, I didn't know that. Damn, that's another reason to upgrade.

As you can see, touch emulation is supported in the latest version of the Sixaxis app (0.5.7). I haven't had the time to test it out yet. I'm hoping it works well with Aralon HD! :)

Sorry for the double post. For some reason the app wouldn't let me edit that particular post?

Just tested it, works a treat!

Now I see there are a few videos on YouTube showing the touch emulation in action.

There's no problem with touch emulation mode on sixaxis controller app. The problem is, we cannot use sixaxis controller app on sense based roms. Without sixaxis controller, we have no chance to have a touch emulation mode.

This is my current work :) in the past i fixed sense kernels to work with sixaxis (on desire hd and other gingerbread devices). Now i'm doing the same on sensation...the sixaxis app works, there's only problems to pair controllers now....stay tuned to the sensation android developement section ;)
