The new pop window for device pairing doesn't work right splitscreen on Samsung tablet. It blinks on and off every few seconds. If I could simply enter the pairing info in the last step of the pairing it would solve the prob.
Serious question: would I need to have the other device used for activation to be always on mantis pro? Or do we simply need to activate it and we could promptly uninstall mantis pro in the other phone?
Nope, you still won't get banned 👌 There's a rumour that controller support is coming to Genshin on Android in the future anyway so hopefully one day it'll be native support. Until then, Mantis is not a problem 👍
I hope this was sarcasm. Because this is anything but smooth and uncomplicated, I just want to download an app and then immediately go into a game in key map things to my controller... Not have to activate something through another Android phone or a PC...
Awesome. I couldn't get it to connect with Type-c to Type-c, but it worked with the OTG adapter. It's not an issue with the cable , since I used 3 different cables and all of which I've used recently for an external SSD .
Well lucky you I've tried all the steps, and it's still not working for me and unfortunately there isn't any other alternative to this if this isn't working or at least not that I have found.. if anybody else finds another method that would be great! Because as of right now I'm SOL
Hi @Android Addicts Are certain games like Call of Duty mobile and others not supported with Mantis? I’ve been using Mantis on my Shield TV for last few weeks, some games work fine like Mario Kart Tour, Crash on the run etc But others seems to have issues with button mapping, using the official Nvidia Corporation Xbox controller. Really pleased using Mantis, would like to see mouse cursor incorporated in later versions hopefully 🙂
@@andrewwhitfield5480 I like testing new material, Nvidia key gamepad still suffers issues and is not perfect in itself. I solved Mantis inquiry I asked above anyways, after adding new button binds/keys in game I would have to drag and drop the desired bind over the action command via that game.
@@WUCATILLY I'm fully immersed in the Android ecosystem for work and pleasure so I get that you like trying these apps. On that note one app to try and watch for further development is the Odo Gamepad mapper. No root or any type of activation required to use. It's analog input is buggy but here's the thing that makes it standout. Say you have a game like Pubg where the analog is natively supported and works with your controller but button presses for action don't work this app can be used to bind only the corrections you need to make without disrupting native working inputs. I use Odo Gamepad with Winter Studio's remake of Resident Evil 4 and it makes the game completely playable with a controller.
Am having trouble using this method with a usb to usbc converter as the Target device is not able to access the host device. not sure if it is the adapter i am using or if it is because both cords are not usbc.
After setting everything following what's in the video, the app isnt working. Its not mapping the buttons X A Y B. Whenever I try to presd these button nothing is showing in the screen. The only thing I can put in the screen are the d pad and both the analog stick yet even the d pad and analog stick arent working after putting it in the exact location :(. Restarted the phone and reconnect the gamepad yet still having the same problem. Im using realme c25 and Ipega 9099. The game Im playing is anima rpg. Im not sure if it's compatible with the game or not.
Why is this whole process all necesary, i just want to play with a controller, im not gonna buy a phone or conputer just to play a game with a controller, this is stupid
It's only necessary if the game you're playing doesn't already support a gamepad - and also if you don't want the game to detect you're using a gamepad...
i have root and the app asked for it, I dont have a 2nd phone but it says its connected, and it doesnt work, testing buttons and calibrating, even in game doesnt work, using an xbox one s bluetooth controller
This was just a way of doing it without needing a PC/computer. You can now do it "on-device" however if you check out my newer video: ruclips.net/video/TSaZSHoXsfw/видео.html
i wasn't succesful when I tried to activate via PC mantis buddy bc after I extract it then it opens instantly but closed that instant also. and my phone is running android 11 also with that I have xiaomi phone. I couldn't find accessibility. which android ur phone runs?
Can someone plz make it easier to connect a game pad to a controller I shouldn't have to have 2 android phones and have to go through all that bullshit just to use the app
Most controllers will either come with their own app or work with most games out the box. This app is only for games which DON'T support a controller natively
How often do you need to activate it? I did it yesterday on pc, was working fine last night and today, but tonight it wants me to connect to mantis buddy again! Kind of a pointless app if u need yo carry 2 phones or a pc with you all the time to keep activating it!
Connected mantis on my device, finished mapping the button/commands, but when i try to press A button, nothing happened, im using an X3 wireless gamepad........what im trying to say is when i press buttons nothing happens on my screen, does it need specific gamepad?, mantis can read my gamepad tho but nothing happen when i press buttons (except for the "start" button in order to change phase)...please help im playing genshin impact
Very good, now turn off your phone or just turn off the app and leave the house, if I'm on the train or on the bus will I be able to access Mantis and connect my joypad without having to do it all again?
You'll need to re-activate if you turn off your phone or restart it. Also, sometimes the background service can get killed by your phone so always check before you leave the house!
I activate the program with another phone, but after using it for 10 minutes, it is deactivated. I also tried it with the computer, but it still deactivates
Hi there! Would you be able to help with a small tutorial or the right screen to map specifically for Cyber Hunter? I tried mapping it in the options/controls menu but it didn't seem to translate to the actual game and in the in-game mode, the Green Mantis icon dissapears on me. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
It sounds like you might have something killing off the Mantis app whilst you're playing. Did you check the permissions at 1:43 to make sure you disabled permission monitoring (if you phone has it)
@@AndroidAddicts Hey! Thanks for the reply! It very well could be that, But I can't seem to find that option at all.(I even tried searching "monitoring" and "permissions" just in case I missed it.)

I don't understand why there can't just be an app that allows you to just key map and overlay without all this other nonsense? Having to connect to a computer or connect to another phone to activate something this just seems odd and unnecessary why is all this necessary I don't get it......
Unfortunately right now I've tried to follow all of these steps and it's still not working for me all I want to do is play Pokemon Unite with a controller on my freaking phone.... 😭
Yes! If you need to bring up the keyboard then you'll need to choose your Input Method. So on the screen in the game where you'd normally type something in, you need to press the little keyboard icon near the text box (on Samsung phones at least) and select your input method. You'll see it'll say "MantisService" so change it to your phone's normal keyboard (mine is SwiftKey) and then type what you need to type - then, and this is important - set it back to "MantisService". Sometimes you can select the input method of your phone from the notification drawer too. Hope this makes sense 👍
I activate it using PC but somehow after awhile I charging my phone and the app get deactivate itself without me rebooting the phone, so annoying because I don't have second phone and need PC everytime
This work well for me but using an old phone with a new phone. I made a video on what I mean. But sadly a new phone pair with another new phone did nothing for me. But like this video on how.
Make sure you don't have any other apps which use the floating widget permission...I had a screen clicker app installed which stopped Mantis from running so I uninstalled it and Mantis worked fine.

@@AndroidAddicts i saw 2 on ebay, both over 90 euros with shipping (import fees excluded). That's a little too much for me. I'm also considering the razer kishi.
does it need to be reactivated via a computer like via wireless debugging or is it only one time activation and no need to activate it again when you want to use it? please

Hello ! I got it to work on noth my hp and laptop, but I just wanted to know if it still needs to be plugged in to be used on PC ? Cause right now I've got it plugged to my laptop. I know for hp it needs to be plugged in, and tht sucks my phone battery super quickly so I'm on my Laptop now
Make sure you don't have any other apps which use the floating widget permission...I had a screen clicker app installed which stopped Mantis from working/recognising input so I uninstalled it and Mantis worked fine (you can just disable them too). You can check in your Accessibility options (on a Samsung that's in Settings - Accessibility - Installed apps). Just make sure everything else is turned off in there.
The overlay stopped working for me. Samsung Note 10+. It won't open over games anymore. Support hasn't gotten back to me. It's been a few weeks. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I'd suggest you uninstall and then re-install the app. That way you know all the setting will be reset and you'll need to re-allow the 'appear on top' permissions etc
Wow that's not good! I have found the other apps which have permission to draw over the screen (floating window) need to be disabled for Mantis to work.
Make sure you don't have any other apps which use the floating widget permission...I had a clicker app installed which stopped Mantis from running so I uninstalled it and Mantis worked fine.
This doesn't work, the host device says Target Device Found in green, but the target device itself is still waiting for a connection. This is even after I've agreed to all the popups and switched USB debugging on and off a few times, along with revoking authorization and messing with the USB options. This app fucking blows
my cell phone and xiaomi redmi note 9 i can activate, but whenever i lock the screen or when i close the mantis it deactivates and i have to activate again. Does anyone know how to solve step by step?
No, the USB-C to USB-C is not classes as USB-OTG. Think of it more like a way of converting one USB port to a different type. The adaptor I used here is overkill, something like this would do just as well: amzn.to/3c7aUjP which is just converting the USB-C to a USB-A female port. You could then use a standard USB-A to USB-C to connect to your other phone. The USB-C to USB-C cable I'm using is just a standard cable that came with my S20 Ultra last year.
Both phones will not connect. This is the point the last time I tried to use this fucking app. USBc to USBc cable. The phone charges, can move pictures/ ect. And I still cannot get this to work. So incredibly frustrating. I do not understand why this shit has to be this complicated.
Its a awesome app. Hope it can also be downloaded in Huawei app store. Unfortunately I download the apk file from other apk website. it work but found some issue like the save file of my keys always pop up whenever I press a key and combination keys like A + B at the same time. Not sure but maybe its bec. That i installed it on a not google enable device. Hahaha.
@@AndroidAddicts I also found an issue and it's possible a keylogger, I notice whenever I activate the Mantis Gamepad Pro on my android device. My keyboard settings change to the default Samsung keyboard. so I check the settings and I notice that I have a different keyboard in the list called "mantis services" when I try to select it android OS notify me to verify the software and it's possible a keylogger type application. not sure if it's just me but I also notice this on my Huawei device that I mentioned earlier. hope it's nothing but to make sure I uninstall already the application and scan my phone. Hope it's nothing since I like the Mantis Gamepad as I use it already almost a day now haha! do you have information about this mate? thanks in advance. cheers!
Hi, I have a question, will it turn off the mantis buddy if I uninstalled the mantis pro app on the other phone after I activated mantis buddy on my primary phone?
I tried all the steps and i also use Samsung smartphone, but every time i started the game from mantis app the setting does not appear when i click '+' button any suggestion or fix for that?
@@AndroidAddicts already did that but its not the solution; I already fixed it by opening the codm app on Mantis app, when codm already start, open the mantis app in 'open in pop-up view' mode and its working perfectly fine. A little messy but its working.. Sorry if i cannot explain it that well, English is not my first language 😅 Thank you for the helps btw 👍🏻
Have a look at this video at 01:30 ruclips.net/video/kGA_3NoFnXQ/видео.html You might need to enable "Disable Permission Monitoring" if it exists on your phone
It's so you can use a gamepad on any game you wish. Not all games support a gamepad but this app allows you to map controls to the screen and play with a gamepad anyway. I've actually done a newer video on Mantis which is here: ruclips.net/video/TSaZSHoXsfw/видео.html This one doesn't require another phone or a PC to activate 👍
November 2021 Update - you can now activate without a second phone or a PC! Check out my new video here: ruclips.net/video/TSaZSHoXsfw/видео.html

You'd need to keep it on the other phone as when you reboot your phone with Mantis, you'll need to re-activate it again
@@AndroidAddicts
So the work around would be is to not shut down the "main" mobile phone?
Is there a more permanent fix?
No sadly not unless you get a phone with Android 12 which you can activate Mantis on the phone itself (as per the video in the pinned comment)

@@AndroidAddicts i saw 2 on ebay, both over 90 euros with shipping (import fees excluded). That's a little too much for me. I'm also considering the razer kishi.
@@AndroidAddicts heh lazada is the one with controllers
Lo hago todo bien pero a la hora de configurar los botones dejo pulsado el botón que quiero configurar pero no me lo detecta
does it need to be reactivated via a computer like via wireless debugging or is it only one time activation and no need to activate it again when you want to use it? please
How is aiming with bow users for example like aiming in with amber
Using gyro is pretty helpful
Can i do this with a tablet type c port I want to target my redmagic 6 pro... & it's a type c cord to type c am going to use
I don't see why not - let me know how you get on!
@@AndroidAddicts I change my mind am using a otg cable typ c on a USB micro & am using a android 11 to target & the host is a old phone android 7.0 LG Stylo 3 but it's not working nothing happens I already enable USB debugging... Please help?
Hello ! I got it to work on noth my hp and laptop, but I just wanted to know if it still needs to be plugged in to be used on PC ? Cause right now I've got it plugged to my laptop. I know for hp it needs to be plugged in, and tht sucks my phone battery super quickly so I'm on my Laptop now
hi
I love the app and your videos help but I wanted to know if there is a way I could get in contact with the app makers them self
Yes, their contact details are in the Play Store under their app details
Good Vid, congrats..
Let me know a way to not lose the activation after Reboot system... Please... 🙏
It's not possible unless you root your phone sadly. Thanks for watching though!
@@AndroidAddicts 😔as i know... Thx...
If you did root your phone, how could you keep the settings across reboots?
If you root, the program can activate itself 😎
@@AndroidAddicts sadly, its the only way... 😔
Floating water mark is not to see
Make sure you don't have any other apps which use the floating widget permission...I had a screen clicker app installed which stopped Mantis from working/recognising input so I uninstalled it and Mantis worked fine (you can just disable them too). You can check in your Accessibility options (on a Samsung that's in Settings - Accessibility - Installed apps). Just make sure everything else is turned off in there.
The overlay stopped working for me. Samsung Note 10+. It won't open over games anymore. Support hasn't gotten back to me. It's been a few weeks. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I'd suggest you uninstall and then re-install the app. That way you know all the setting will be reset and you'll need to re-allow the 'appear on top' permissions etc
@@AndroidAddicts I did that. Nothing worked but, reformatting my phone. My guess would be the other apps I use conflicted with Mantis.
Wow that's not good! I have found the other apps which have permission to draw over the screen (floating window) need to be disabled for Mantis to work.
All good but when I try to map the button, I can't set anything and appear a note for stuck. Help plssssss
Make sure you don't have any other apps which use the floating widget permission...I had a clicker app installed which stopped Mantis from running so I uninstalled it and Mantis worked fine.
but why is there no icon in my screen where i can put my controller settings tho how to fix it?
You need to enable the Floating Widgets permission. Try uninstalling Mantis and re-installing and it'll ask you for that permission again
This doesn't work, the host device says Target Device Found in green, but the target device itself is still waiting for a connection. This is even after I've agreed to all the popups and switched USB debugging on and off a few times, along with revoking authorization and messing with the USB options. This app fucking blows
my cell phone and xiaomi redmi note 9 i can activate, but whenever i lock the screen or when i close the mantis it deactivates and i have to activate again.
Does anyone know how to solve step by step?
When it disconnects try running ActivateWifi.bat and see if it reconnects it for you wirelessly...
Hola. Solo se activa una vez ? O hay q activar cada vez que tengo q jugar.
Hola, sí, usted necesita activar si usted reinicia su teléfono o si el Mantis es asesinado por su teléfono
Cada vez que lo vayas a usar practicamente, por eso mantis es una porqueria de Gamepad😅
can it work with gamesir g6 to work touch screen at the same time with controller
My question is now how to remove add games in this freaking app scene I can't afford to subscribe the pro version
Just hold on the game u wanna remove for like 3 seconds and then click on the X that appears on the game
what type of usb-C cable do i need for the data-transfer? Is there a specific OTG cable that i should use or is it always OTG when its usbc-usbc?
No, the USB-C to USB-C is not classes as USB-OTG. Think of it more like a way of converting one USB port to a different type. The adaptor I used here is overkill, something like this would do just as well: amzn.to/3c7aUjP which is just converting the USB-C to a USB-A female port. You could then use a standard USB-A to USB-C to connect to your other phone.
The USB-C to USB-C cable I'm using is just a standard cable that came with my S20 Ultra last year.
I am having difficulties, i follow the instructions, when i connect phones the message to allow usb debugging doesnt show up. What am i doing wrong?
Have you enabled usb debugging in developer options?
@@AndroidAddicts yes, USB debugging is enabled on both Samsung devices, I used a Samsung's adapter from USB to USB-c and connected them
You might need to try a property usb c to c cable in that case. Perhaps the adaptor causes issues...
I cant add any keys in my Xiaomi phone! Please help! 🆘
When I connect the phones, the message does not appear. Please help.
Try my newer video which is easier now: ruclips.net/video/TSaZSHoXsfw/видео.html
Both phones will not connect. This is the point the last time I tried to use this fucking app. USBc to USBc cable. The phone charges, can move pictures/ ect. And I still cannot get this to work. So incredibly frustrating. I do not understand why this shit has to be this complicated.
Its a awesome app. Hope it can also be downloaded in Huawei app store. Unfortunately I download the apk file from other apk website. it work but found some issue like the save file of my keys always pop up whenever I press a key and combination keys like A + B at the same time.
Not sure but maybe its bec. That i installed it on a not google enable device. Hahaha.
Ah yeah, could be an issue if you don't download the latest version from Google Play. I wish Huawei still had the Play Store 😭
@@AndroidAddicts I also found an issue and it's possible a keylogger, I notice whenever I activate the Mantis Gamepad Pro on my android device. My keyboard settings change to the default Samsung keyboard. so I check the settings and I notice that I have a different keyboard in the list called "mantis services" when I try to select it android OS notify me to verify the software and it's possible a keylogger type application. not sure if it's just me but I also notice this on my Huawei device that I mentioned earlier. hope it's nothing but to make sure I uninstall already the application and scan my phone.
Hope it's nothing since I like the Mantis Gamepad as I use it already almost a day now haha! do you have information about this mate? thanks in advance. cheers!
@Android Addicts can you help me root my Samsung s6 Edge android 7.0 without a pc also twrp doesn't work
Why i cant connect to my pc 😭 couldn't find my device evenn though i follow the instructions
This is the PC version of the video: ruclips.net/video/kGA_3NoFnXQ/видео.html
Still ain’t working for my pixel 6a and Samsung
Did you try this version? ruclips.net/video/TSaZSHoXsfw/видео.html
Thanks bro
No problem!
Hi, I have a question, will it turn off the mantis buddy if I uninstalled the mantis pro app on the other phone after I activated mantis buddy on my primary phone?
It won't but Mantis on your phone will become inactive at some point - whether you reboot or the service dies you'll need to re-activate it again
bro after u finish activation mantis buddy can the usb debugging is turned off, or always turn on when u play game with mantis gamepad pro?
No you have to leave it turned on for Mantis to work
Hi bro, what is the brand of your controller on the left?
It's the Glap controller. I have done a few videos on it on my channel. This was the review ruclips.net/video/-l1izBjG8JI/видео.html
Why is my thumstick against the direction
I tried all the steps and i also use Samsung smartphone, but every time i started the game from mantis app the setting does not appear when i click '+' button any suggestion or fix for that?
Did you allow all the floating window permissions? Maybe try uninstalling and re-installing the app
@@AndroidAddicts already did that but its not the solution;
I already fixed it by opening the codm app on Mantis app, when codm already start, open the mantis app in 'open in pop-up view' mode and its working perfectly fine. A little messy but its working..
Sorry if i cannot explain it that well, English is not my first language 😅
Thank you for the helps btw 👍🏻
Ah I see - glad you got it working! 😎👍👍
gamepad's input is detected in-app and while calibrating, but doesn't register while mapping in-game why
Xiaomi
Have a look at this video at 01:30 ruclips.net/video/kGA_3NoFnXQ/видео.html You might need to enable "Disable Permission Monitoring" if it exists on your phone
Hi, I'm not entirely sure I understand what mantisbuddy is needed for, could you explain please?
It's so you can use a gamepad on any game you wish. Not all games support a gamepad but this app allows you to map controls to the screen and play with a gamepad anyway. I've actually done a newer video on Mantis which is here: ruclips.net/video/TSaZSHoXsfw/видео.html This one doesn't require another phone or a PC to activate 👍
If you have root you can activate it without any other device.
Indeed you can 👍 In my previous video you could see me S8 asking for root access during the video 😁
@@AndroidAddicts Sorry, I missed that video. Thanks for being cool and all your hard work.
No problem 👌😊 And thanks for watching 😎
@@AndroidAddicts Hey i couldn't find the link to video where you can use root access to activate, without any other device.
I don't understand y its designed to have to reactivate more than once
Mantis isn't a system service so unless you have a rooted phone, you'll need to start it up when the service stops
Wow~is this only support Android gamepad? Others like PS4 or XBOX gamepad able to support for this?
Yes you can use an Xbox controller with this
When a turn off the otg I lose the activator, it's normal?.
On pc it's ok, but in android I have this issue,.
Hi maybe you want to try this method ruclips.net/video/yrSAFwtlbOE/видео.html
