Description
Android games are mostly touch-only, so your controller sits there. Gamepad Pro turns its buttons, both sticks and L2/R2 into taps on screen — a separate layout for every game. Drag each control where it should press, save, launch from the app. No root, no PC, no ADB. Made for shooters, MOBA, racing and open-world games where you move and aim at once. Free: 2 layouts per game, 3 games, with ads. One-time Pro removes the ads and unlocks the rest. 500,000+ installs, 24 languages.

Could you build this?
No Simulating touch input from a gamepad without root, PC, or ADB on modern Android requires low-level Android OS internals, Accessibility Services exploitation, or custom virtualization runtimes.
What it would actually take: Building this requires deep Android low-level systems expertise, reverse engineering the Android input subsystem, and leveraging complex virtual display/overlay or Shizuku/accessibility workarounds that bypass OS security boundaries to inject MotionEvents into other running sandboxed processes.
