Hello,
Yesterday i've bought a wireless xbox 360 controller with wireless USB adapter. I tried it on my PC and it worked flawlessly - all games are responsive and auto-detect my controller. But it's a different story with my phone, i saw people connecting x360 controllers to their android devices too so i decided to do the same.
I own a Galaxy Note 5 (rooted, note7/S7edge port ROM & custom kernel). Before i've been using a cheap (~7$) controller, but most of the games did not recognize it, even if they did, the key mapping was really bad and not all of the buttons work.
When i connect the receiver through OTG cable to my Note5 and pair it with the x360 wireless controller, it keeps flashing (it is paired), but the phone does not recognize it - i cannot interact with the screen using the controller buttons (although with mouse/keyboard/cheap-controller it works).
I found out that i only had a USB wired xbox360 controller .kl and .kcm files in /system/usr/keylayout and keychar folders, so i found some guides -> i copied these files (changed the product number to Wireless X360 controller's) using "Terminal Emulator for android" with super user access and gave them specific permissions (chmod 644). I also checked if the permissions were granted ("ls -l" command) and restarted my phone. According to all of the guides, it should work after these steps but i still can't use the controller - it keeps flashing and is not recognized. Are there other steps/guides or maybe something i should know about Galaxy Note5 and Xbox 360 wireless controller connection?
I'm really desperate after 0% of success. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I just checked this setup with my old HTC One M7 and it worked from the first time. I'm using official USB receiver and controllers that are all of Microsoft brand.I really would like to hear that it is also possible with my newer Note 5.
