PS3 [CFW][PS3xPAD] Connect DS4 native wirelessly

I need help because I think I'm missing a step to make the DualShock 4 work natively on my PS3 with CFW 4.91.2 EVILNAT D-PEX (Cobra 8.5):
  1. I downloaded the compressed file from the page (psx-place.com/resources/ps3xpad.22/) and extracted it;
  2. I added the line /dev_hdd0/plugins/ps3xpad/xpad_vsh.sprx to the /dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt file;
  3. I moved the extracted ps3xpad/ folder into /dev_hdd0/plugins/;
  4. In the /dev_hdd0/plugins/ps3xpad/xpad_devices.txt file, I left only the lines for DS3 and DS4. The VID and PID codes for my controllers are already listed there;
  5. In the /dev_hdd0/plugins/ps3xpad/xpad_settings.txt file, I changed the following variables:
    • XPAD_MODE from 0 to 1 (indicating native DS4 connection);
    • RESPONSE_TIME from 7 to 5;
  6. I connected the DualShock 4 via Bluetooth using the Accessories menu in the XMB;
  7. Even with the controller set to port 7, it is not properly recognized.
However, the PS button still doesn't work, and some games don't recognize certain buttons (for example, Guitar Hero 3 does not recognize L2 and R2).

I've searched various sources, but none specifically talk about using the DS4 natively. Most information suggests using an additional Bluetooth dongle in the USB port. I've also tested this method but couldn't get it to work either.

How can I make the DS4 work natively through the PS3's built-in Bluetooth?
 
Guitar Hero games more than likely need the controller to be in digital not analogue mode, no reason for the triggers to be pressure sensitive.
 
The Brook Wingman XE adapter works well. The system recognizes it as a PS3 pad regardless what controller you are using.
