How to pair a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller and fix Camera Spin

[wapvirus]

Hi I came across this fix on XDA developers, while the xpad setup alone works well for allot of the emulators out there, some of the games are not working with the controller, for instance GTA3 you end up in a continuous spin.

Original thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531

So basically a developer sleeplessninja found a solution to the problem and i have simplified the process and find myself here sharing with the FreakTab community as i now have a perfectly working 360 controller on my MK802III .

Needed Hardware:
Xbox 360 Wireless Dongle (This is meant for the PC but also works on the Android, and quite lovely on emulators)
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Instructions:
Your device must be Rooted firstly and have the xpad.ko module file installed (Most of the custom ROMs her include this Module)
Also you will need to have RootExplorer app installed you can get that here: Google Play and the two key layout files Attached to post

Unzip the two files Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl and Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kcm

copy Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl to you /system/usr/keylayout/ Don't forget to mount the system RW with the button on the to of the screen in RootExplorer.
Copy Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kcm to your /system/usr/keychars/
Next left click and hold till popup list appears and select permissions and change the permissions to rw-r--r--r do this for both copied files click button on top of screen to change system to RO reboot your device and your controller should now work in games like GTA III and vice city .

Enjoy!

This is not my work I am just sharing a different way of achivng the same outcome as sleeplessninja but without using Terminal and complicated commands please follow the links to the original post and thank Him for his great fix.

Wapvirus, thanks for the nice find! I am going to add these files to my next ROM.

However question. Should not the .kcm file go into /system/usr/keychars/ like all the other .kcm files?
You copied both files into /system/usr/keylayout/ and that worked?


Thanks,
Bob

I thought so. Glad it is working for you! It was not logical to put .kcm files in /keylayout as it wont do anything there.

wapvirus, good find but I think you should update your instructions based on this feedback.

THANKS for all your good input here for everyone!

I'm looking to hookup my xpad to my mk808 with finless1.7, anyone know if the knockoff USB receivers work, or do I need to get the genuine Microsoft receiver?

You are wrong, we need both of .kl and .kcm file for wire or wireless xbox 360 gamepad (0719) and wired xbox 360 gamepad (0291)

Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kcm,
Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl,
Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kcm
Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl
