I've got the Samsung Note Pro tablet on the latest android 5.0.2
I've got 2 gamepads which work on the Xbox 360 and when I try to use them on the tablet none of them are recognized.
I've followed all guides I've found around in this and other sites talking about the subject and:
- I've got a root device
- I've been able to find the Vendor and ProdID of both by looking into `/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices'
- both of the USB wired controllers appear there
- gamepad 1 = vendor 0738, prodID 4738
- gamepad 2 = vendor 1bad, prodID f025
- both of the USB wired controllers appear there
- So I've created the following files with the config of an Xbox 360 controller:
- /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0738_Product_4738.kl
- /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_1bad_Product_f025.kl
- Just in case, I tried with and without the following too:
- /system/usr/keychars/Vendor_0738_Product_4738.kcm
- /system/usr/keychars/Vendor_1bad_Product_f025.kcm
- All of those have the right 644 rw-r--r-- permissions
After all changes, rebooting and reconnecting... still, none of the 2 controllers are recognized by this Android tablet.
I checked the following with each of them plugged in, and they were not appearing as connected:
- /proc/bus/input/devices
Any idea what the problem could be? Or what else could I try? Most guides talk about the .kl files above and they say it should work, but in this case, it doesn't... any other suggestion?

, but I've tried several othergame tester
apps from play store and they don't recognized them either. And checking the values in/proc/bus/input/devices
none of them appear as connected there. As for the keylayout files, those 2 vendors/productIds were not appearing for me, so just in case I put them. but still no luck. Do you have any other idea that I could try?
