Nyko Playground (BETA) Version 2.2 Problems

DO NOT INSTALL UPDATE (2.2), AND DO NOT UPDATE FIRMWARE!

You can if you want, but I wouldn't suggest it. 

For anyone that knows how to use Advanced mode, stick with version 2.1.0 

The new firmware update will make the triggers stop working on regular PlayPads, and it will make APP mode turn into Mouse mode.

You also need 2.1.0 to reprogram pads. You can reprogram pads, then install any app update and the controller will always work, but it will revert back if you update firmware.

It could just be me having trouble with it, but I don't think so.

Download APK file for the previous version of Playground (2.1.0) here. You can re-install the old firmware, if you have already installed the new firmware from version 2.2 

Fix Triggers (L2 & R2) on PlayPad Pro

Requires Nyko Playground Version 2.1.0

Won't work if you update the app or the pad firmware through the new version  of Playground (read more)

You can now use the triggers (L2 & R2) on your PlayPad Pro and add a select button (not back) on both pads, which comes in useful for emulators, and games like Max Payne Mobile (save state) and GTA 3 (change view).

You can reprogram the entire controller to whatever you like, or just make the triggers and select key work.

Here's how:

The only 'tool' you need is Nyko's Playground App.

1. Make sure Bluetooth is off, then start Playground app

3. Tap "OK"

4. Tap "skip"

5. Tap "advanced mode" in the top right corner

6. Tap "proceed"

7. Hold home button on pad until HID light switches on (make sure HID mode is on)

8. Tap "OK"

9. Tap "new profile"

10. Select "empty profile" or gamepad profile"

11. Map keys to whatever button, save and name profile

      (make sure to add L3 & R3 on Pro pads and Select on both pads)

12. Tap "REPROGRAM"

13. Tap "OK", exit Playground app and switch Bluetooth and Pad off, then go to

      Bluetooth settings

14. Switch Bluetooth on and Pad on in APP mode

15. Tap "SEARCH FOR DEVICES"

      then tap on  "NYKO PLAYPAD" or "NYKO PLAYPAD PRO"

That's it. Now you have a fully functioning controller.

Notes:

Make sure you switch Bluetooth and your PlayPad off every time before you try to connect in APP or HID mode. Sometimes it takes a few tries to connect.

HID mode will remain the same, reprogramming only affects the PlayPad in APP mode.
