Game Controllers

[Tarjei85]

Tarjei85, you mention using PS4 controllers, but need to be rooted in order to use the sixaxis app.  Can you expand on this?  I know of rooting mainly from phones, giving you more access than the cell phone providers will allow.  Are we not essentially rooted on the Pine though, since we are installing the OS ourselves?  Or are you stating need to be rooted since you are using a tablet?

Have you tried using PS3 or PS4 controllers with the Pine yet?  If no rooting, do I just go search for the sixaxis app from my Pine?  Thanks.

We need to have some sort of superSU to manage what apps to allow root access, and we need the sixaxis app to gain root access. This is because the way sixaxis works. It DISABLES bluetooth and start some services to take co troll over the BT module and use the input as we choose in the settings of the sixaxis app.

The 20160428 build of Android thats available on the wiki (it is in beta) have SuperSU preinstalled, and I am able to get root access validated. The only problem is that the BT module is no longer working. So back to square one

Still not able to get the PS4 controllers to work with he Pine.
I guess I will need to wait for the non-beta version of ××0428 build or maby even the next buildnumber (as long it is Android 5.1.1, as thats the latest Android version with known exploits to gain root)
