Has anyone had any luck using there phones as game controllers to play games on the nexus 7? Possibly being able to map it out too play touch based games like order and chaos
 
Use BTController app. Install on both devices, select one as controller device and the other as device to be controlled, then the first device acts as a keyboard input.

The app comes with several preset gamepad configurations, but they are customisable with the paid version. Well worth it - I've had no issues.
 
What about a game like order and chaos or shadow gun, how do you map it for that. I tried btcontroller with no luck I couldn't map controller for my touch based games.
 
I'm a fan of using the ps3 controller to play games.

I don't know if it's compatible with your device but check out sixaxis controller
 
As fascinating as using my Android phone as a controller sounds, I have to jump on the controller wagon.

I just started using a Logitech Dual Action controller which is styled after the PS2 controller, and so far it has just been a matter of setting stuff up in menus with no other software required. Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, and even the home screen seem to respond to it.
