I'm running Cyanogen CM12 with Android 5.0x on a OnePlus One that is Rooted. My gamepad is a clone PS3 controller with USB and bluetooth support. USB OTG, Root access, etc all work and are confirmed.

So what happens is that Tincore Keymapper detects my gamepad correct and even reads it fine. During the mapping screen I can hold and press the buttons or sticks to show them and to move them around the screen and finally save a new profile. Activating said profile does not do anything at all. I am testing but putting the buttons on icons on my homescreen and seeing if they will open up. I have tried changing my input method in the Android settings menu to TinCore but that just opens up a Web keyboard that I can move around in with my gamepad which is weird.

During my setting of profiles, it gives me the "Tincore Keymapper IME is needed, Please enable it in the setup screen and set as default input method". But I thought I did that?

I'm frustrated because the controller works. I can move around in the web shaped Tincore Keymapper QWERT type on-screen keyboard and make typing text and have it detect what keys I am pressing but nothing is actually working in the real OS? Help?

Thank you!

I have a moga pocket bt controller and android 5.1 and i have the same problem. I know how to configure the app cause i used it on a android 4.2 device. I mapp buttons , save profile, activate it but it says that ime its not activated even if
it is and the key doesn't work. Controller works with its pivot app and on games suported by it.

I have the exact same problem, but with a Microsoft foldable keyboard. Mapping looks to be working fince, the keys light up when pressed if already configured, but when I apply the profile, the touches are not executed where I configured them but on some random spot on the screen - almost looks like the last position of mouse pointer/touch pen. 

When I run auto-calibration it tells me that it was inconclusive, after nothing happening on screen for a few minutes. 

It was working just yesterday with the same devices, but I created a new  profile and it's not working (neither is the old, anymore)
