[Q] DVB-t Stick on Xoom? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
is it possible to use a DVB-t Stick? i have OTG Cables, and a pinnacle dazzle 71
i found that the dazzle 71 = Afatech AF9015 (Hardware)
in the thread [KERNEL][ICS] Tiamat AOSP Kernel 3.0.5 (Updated 2012/2/9)
post 42
there is AF9015 listed
is there a app to use it or brd is it possible to make it work ?
i also made a bootanimation with the stock animation from ics 1.0 - solarnz can use it and post it here?
thx

Yes, we have the drivers. No, we don't have any apps for it, yet.

but it should be possible to use the driver? right?

Here's the issue. The drivers are the easy part. Implementation is much harder. When the driver is installed, and you plug your adapter in, a new device called video0 is created. video0 is the "access point" to the framebuffer where the video stream is sent. So, how do we access the framebuffer? I'm working on that. Basically I'm tweaking the camera libs to access video0 instead of the camera framebuffer. I'm working off an open commit for Gingerbread off CM gerrit. Honestly I don't know if it will work or not. Should be fun.

Wow, good luck to you! That is mighty impressive.
One of the perks if android, huh?

any rom that fix bluetooth with sixaxis?

Is there any rom other than the CM7 alpha that'll fix bluetooth so that I can get my LG thrill to pair with sixaxis and / or wiimote?
thay is a good question
Doubtful... all these roms are based off stock firmware... and no stock roms support it.
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
Actually Im wondering the same thing. I have an iControlPad that wont play nice because HID isnt implemented in stock rom?!?
Plays nice with my iPhone and considering 3D converter now works very nicely with N64oid and FPse, then my dual analog stick iCP would make gaming on the Opti3D even sweeter!
iconttolpad should work fine with blues EMI app.
Pete
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
I have tried iCP with Bluez IME app.... (in SPP and HID)
iCP will pair but not connect and once paired will always spit out a UUID error
The UUID error is usually related to the rom not supporting HID/keyboard functions?...
Others have the same problem - the LG Opti 3D/Thrill have stuff missing from their bluetooth modules... A custom rom will probably fix it.... Cyangenmod maybe?...
It did for HTC phones.....
Is the 3D convertor out in the recent firmware update?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
yep...
3d converter works on n64oid.... Mario64 in 3D!
update 10j....
You should order a Phone Joy. They're backed up on pre-orders but they said they'll be getting a big shipment early next month.
I went to phonejoy.net and it looks like it still talks via bluezime?... if so the Opti3D will always get UUID errors due to poor bluetooth stack.... and please correct me if im wrong but froyo cant use the mini usb for a controller either?..
The O3D has issues with Bluez Ime? If so, then they say to create a new issue on their site if you want a device to be supported.
EDIT:
Apparently someone already made a thread about hte UUID issue.

I started that case,
I only have the bgp100 gamepad and wiimote to test
If you can please help with whatever you can. Maybe follow some of the steps listed and provide some feedback.
The more people trouble shooting this the faster we can play some games with our bt controllers.
Maybe the Zeemote can be used for a some hints since it seems to work as shown in the one post.
Just to let you all know, I plan on adding support in the Sixaxis controller app for this phone and many others within the next couple of weeks. Root access will still be required though.

I will be next in line..... happy to pay if I can play games with b/tooth controller. (preferably iControlPad but I'll take sixaxis....) Its a shame the bluetooth stack is so screwy..... I love everything else about the O3D...

Hey Guys... now after the GB-Update is out are there some News about using the Sixaxis app???... I tried it with the Thiaz rom 2.1. But the Phone Reboot... *cry*..
I can confirm that GB stock cannot talk to Bluetooth controllers properly. O3D still refuses to connect to iControlpad, sixaxis and bgp. Hid profiles stil not properly integrated into the Bluetooth stack.
Only almost cyanogenmod works - I believe that the standard Bluetooth stack is integrated in framework - yet another LG fail - hardware is capable and software is still lacking.
I would use cyanogenmod but without 3d it just isn't the same phone. Anyone know how to dual-boot on an O3D?

[APP] USB OTG Helper (Need testers..)

USB OTG Helper App with all details here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588940
As mentioned by reputed Developer DooMLoRD, this may work on Play also..
Any brave people who could test this and report?
Download:
USB_OTG_Helper.apk
I used it moment ago and it didnt work. Maybe i should change file system on my pendrive (i tried 2 - both on on FAT32). which is the best?
The Play doesn't have OTG kernel drivers, DooMLoRD couldn't get them to work, so this app won't work.
See here for details
I know this. but they need tester so i tried it. doom tried to make it works in his kernel on v1-v3.
Thanks for the info guys..
Maybe some mods can move it to the General section then.
Looks interesting. So lets say the kernel had support for us play. Would this mean we could use a usb gamepad? My question is, some devices I know only work if you have a powered dongle and wireless battery device, since from what I read, most devices dont output power from its usb port.

If the kernel had support, then yes we could use USB mouse/keyboard and usb drives. Unfortunately, this app uses DooMLoRD's kernel modules for the Arc and he wasn't able to get them to work on the Play
I'd love to see these working though
Question, I know with cifs manager, it has a way to load modules using insmod. So it didnt have to be in the kernel itself. Couldnt something like that work here too?

All modules work like that, but they are compiled with the kernel, so need to match.
Is there not cifs modules for the Play?
The play has cifs. (Yay) but my Streak 7.. on Honeycomb.. still wanting one compiled for that.. Thats the one I REALLY need it. Dock + cifs = Win video watching from NAS!
But yea, what I am saying is, if someone could compile a play one, we could just insmod load it without waiting for a rom dev to put it in their builds.

$20 webcam= Skype video+camera apps working NOW!

If you are running a teamdrh rom with JB, or ICS with the 2.6.39 kernel, you can use a webcam and this hack to make skype video calls or take pictures/ record video with the stock camera app. I have tested this and it works great, skype calls are getting video and audio but i have only done a couple of five minute calls so I do not know if you will have the same luck with the MIC that I have had. on the stock camera app, if you "switch" from front to back camera, it inverts the video image, but video recording works, however on the stock app the MIC will cut off at around 10 seconds, but videolooks good, and pictures work too. All other camera apps I downloaded have worked as well.
REquirements:
1) a UVC webcam, which means compatible with Video4linux, or Video4windows, really most webcams work. The easy way if you buy one is to find on the box anything that says "no drivers/cd required." But check here: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices
I bought a $17 gigaware at radioshack, the cheapest one in the store.
2) You need to download this file:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4ltl2zYxU7yVTVnM1RzVlBNaUE/edit?pli=1
BUT EXTRACT AND ONLY COPY THE camera.tegra.so FILE INTO your tablet's /SYSTEM/LIB/HW folder, and reboot. If you copy the other stuff you might find that your device will NO LONGER BOOT!!!
3) Plug your webcam into the usb port and in terminal run these commands:
su
chown system.camera /dev/video0
chmod 660 /dev/video0
*If you download gscript you can enter these commands once, and then it is just a couple of clicks, WAY EASIER! they need to be entered everytime you plug the webcam in, and before you run a camera/skype app.
Enjoy, I am hoping some people will test this and confirm it works for them too, please!

found this and I am wondering if he is talking about an ICS function, or just an Adam function. Either way, i was thinking the Adam is very similar to ours anyway. Anyone have a usb webcam that wants to try this, or bash me if the idea is out of the question for Gtab?? either is fine, just thought this MIGHT be useful.

There is a possibility that this already works on TeamDRH's ICS rom. The support has been added in the kernel awhile back but never been tested.
Thanks and much credit to rajeevvp!!!! I have gotten a webcam to stream video onto my gtab with DRH 1.3.2
Its kind've choppy, and a little blurry but works in a stable manner.
I am beggining to learn programming for android and trying to figure out a way to have any apps divert to my working video source instead of looking at the factory camera for a source. It seems it should be possible but I am just still too newb to Know any better.
If you would like to test this, then refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29457353&postcount=11
I have had success with a uvc compatibe webcam so far.
If you might have an idea as to how to trick the rom into looking at the usb port for its default video source I would like to know. Or if you can conclusively tell me that this is not possible I would like to know that too. My understanding is that there are two ways to approach this. One is to have the rom divert any frame capture requests to the usb video source as opposed to the original location. The other way, and probably more likely way, is to take an app like skype and hack it to go to usb for video, as opposed to the "stock camera location." Any insights would be very helpful. At least then, we could video chat with a small webcam, as opposed to no camera at all.
If this works for you, hit the thanks button on RAJEEVVP's post.

That binary source code may also work on other ROMs (Froyo-, GB-, or HC-based ones)--if the Android<->HW camera interface hasn't changed. (The binary, unfortunately, doesn't load on GB and HC.)
This is how it should've been done by nVidia in the first place. I had expected them or VS/Malata to write a kernel driver for their camera which implemented the standard V4L interface. Instead, they have a binary-only shared object which directly controls the camera HW in a completely opaque way. There's hardly any camera-support code in the official (2.6.32.x) kernels at all--I was very surprised when I looked into this some time back.
nVidia's HW is nice and all, but, from now on, I'm just not going to buy any more of their products if it relies on any proprietary blobs.

I found out I didn't have a dev/video0 folder. I created one but the camera fcs. Is ther supposed to be files in the video0 folder? I noticed in the audio folder there were several files. I am running DRH ICS 1.3 It didn't have the camera app installed since it didn't work anyway.
Any help would be appreciated. I restored the camera app with Ti from an earlier backup.
Thanks
btw: Thanks to all who got this working. I've been looking for something just like this.
Um, /dev/video0 is only created after you plug in your camera. You do not create this yourself. If your camera is UVC compatible, then after it is plugged in you should have /dev/video0 on the stock rom with no modifications! Did you check the link to see if it is listed?
These terminal commands give the camera permission to use the camera apps, along with the camera.tegra.so file. But, a totally unmodded rom will give /dev/video0 if your camera is compatible, because TEAMDRH already included the needed drivers. download the app "usb host controller" and open it after you plug your camera in. under the USB tab, does it register or list your camera? If so, then google your webcam, not the brand name, but the brand that is listed under "usb host controller" to see if it is UVC. My camera is a Gigaware, but under usb host controller it is listed as an MSI Starcam.
This positively works for me, but I have been waiting for anyone else to tell me it worked for them too so I can confirm. I am happy to help, because I want this to work universally as it should so it is a viable option.
Thanks

Thanks. I'm at work and just pulled out a cheap camera from my drawer. Not even sure what model it is. I wasn't aware though that the camera would create the folder when it is plugged in. When I get home I know I have a camera that is compatible and I will try it again.
Thanks for your help. I will let you know how it goes.

It works. I haven't actually taken a pic or video yet, but I got a picture. I'm using my Logitech 270 HD webcam and the picture looks great. This is what I've been waiting for. I downloaded the free version if Camera ICS off the Play store. May have to buy it. The older stck camera app still FCs but the ICS one fired right up. Now I'll have to make my script.
Thanks a great deal... :good::good:
On a fresh install of the JB alpha, if you swipe left on the lockscreen instead of right, the camera app pops up, if you do a factory reset, then it will be in your app drawer!
I am so glad to hear it works for someone else.
TO use video recording or skype video, any video, you have to swap from the front to back camera. It shows an inverted image, but when you play back a recorded video, it is proper, also skype might be inverted but it looks right on the other end. I do not know why this is, but it works!!
***To clear up any confusion, the terminal commands only need to be entered once, after the camera is plugged but before you try to use any camera apps. They do not need to be re-entered until the next time you plug your webcam in, or restart the tab. With the gscript, you can put a shortcut on your homescreen, and the process becomes: plug cam in, tap one button, then load camera app or skype,etc!!
I can confirm it works with ICS Beta 1.3.2 (using the Camera ICS app). Camera, and Skype work just fine!
At last, my gTab is complete again! (well... almost...).

Random newbish question
would this be able to work on other tablets as well? albeit slightly modified and what not... i've been thinking of integrating a dell streak 7 into my dash and an external web cam would be a neat back up cam
Im gonna guess no, but it is possible. YOu need a kernel with V4l2 support, and a file like this to direct the rom to communicate with it. I know nothing about dell streaks, but if you ask a developer of the rom you're using to look at Borkata's github source you might get a solution, but I really do not know.

Thanks, I figured that because the dell streak is a tegra 2 board, it wouldnt be too difficult, but i am definatly not a dev of any sort
I've tried this with on a gTablet, testing both G-Harmony & SmoOther Beam 4.1.2, but I haven't been able to get it working.
I'm testing it with a Microsoft HD-6000 webcam. Any suggestions on where I might look to determine if the problem is related to the ROM/approach, or the hardware?
I've already checked the UVC compatibility page. Unfortunately it's a bit out-of-date, and the HD-6000 is not yet listed, yet the sister HD-3000 is listed as supported.
Thank you in advance for any ideas!

Note 2: External optical drivers and floppy drives will not be mounted automatically, as Android doesn't officially support them
Note 3: CSS protected DVDs are not supported (e.g. Retail movies), due to Linux kernel limitations
Note 4: NTFS is not supported 'out of the box', please use Paragon driver from Google Play
Downloads:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gxi0gsl0tdfapgi/Ja19Exs4Sz
(PLEASE install Busybox 1.20.2 using one of the installer apps from Google Play, it is needed for the Kernelmanager application to function properly)
Source:
https://github.com/sander-ashwin/tf101-allinone-kernel
Please report if something does not work!!
Mounting optical drives:
1: First make sure your device is proper rooted (the "mount" command we'll use needs root)
2: Install Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play and open it
3: Type "su" and press enter, you should be asked if you would like to give root access, say Yes
4: Make a mountpoint directory, e.g. "mkdir /Removable/opticaldrive"
5: Mount your optical drive (make sure it gets enough power and something is inserted in the drive) using this command: "busybox mount /dev/block/sr0 /Removable/opticaldrive"
6: You're done! If you inserted a DVD movie, you might want to install Wondershare player or some other player that is capable of playing DVDs with menus
7: If you encounter any difficulties, please reply on this thread or send me a message
Connecting your TF101 to wired ethernet:
1: Buy a TF101 USB Host connector if you don't already have one (they are very cheap online, around 12-15 dollars)
2: Connect the adapter to your TF101, plug in your USB ethernet adapter
3: Android will display a message in the lower right corner of the screen that an ethernet adapter has been connected
4: Connect the LAN cable
5: Android will display a message that your device is connected using DHCP, you can now use internet using LAN
6: If you require manual IP settings, please go to Android's settings, there you can set manual IP or DHCP (OPTIONAL STEP)
Thanks to:
RaymanFX - for inspiring me with his own kernel, and for porting CM10
Asus - for making a pretty good device
prendomiao - for beta testing
Changelog

First release!
v1.1:
Removed some more junk from kernel
Now actually added new filesystem drivers!
v1.2:
Backport of Linux 3.6 I2C core
A little more cleanup of unneeded features
v1.3:
Backported all Linux 3.2 USB LAN drivers
Kernel now includes support for Voodoo Sound!
v1.4:
I2C fixes + Tegra I2C driver ported from kernel 3.6
Tweaked I2C timeout, hopefully our touchscreen won't lag anymore
(this may fix the problem that the touchscreen sometimes doesn't respond for a second, because of an I2C timeout)
v2.0:
Fixed sound
Now compiled using latest Linaro GCC 4.7.2 compiler
New kernel manager application to manage loaded drivers! You're in control, so the kernel doesn't load unneeded modules anymore!
Reverted I2C changes, as they didn't really help
v2.1:
Now compatible with ROMs based on RaymanFX's CM10
Updated BCMDHD WLAN driver for CM10 kernel
A little cleanup to synchronise both ICS and CM10 versions
Updated Linaro compiler to 2012.10
v2.2:
Added some new releases for more compatibility
i tried it. there is a little change, it is a bit speedly... i don't tried videos... but it is good good work
Thank you! Hope videos will play better as Tegra 2 is really picky with HD videos.
I'm now writing a tutorial for mounting optical discs, fortunately it's not really difficult.
but drivers must support them
Well, I included them already They are in your device if you still have my kernel installed.
But Android doesn't support automounting optical drives, so we have to mount the optical disc ourselves, until someone writes an app to do it (automatically).
EDIT: please install v1.1 if you would like to use your optical drive, as I forgot to include the drivers while compiling v1.0
Outstanding kernel. The first one I've run without SoD so far. I don't need OC, so the extra freq.'s are not important. Super quick, reliable so far for a few hours. I'll continue to report back, especially if I get SoD's. They are the bane of my existence. Keep up the good work.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium.
Thanks! Hope you can enjoy your device again
I would like to implement overclocking though, but only if the kernel is still 100% stable for everyone.
Stil need to find out how, as I'm still learning C and kernel hacking.
The main problem at the moment is that all different hardware revisions have different issues.
Mine has touchscreen issues with a lot of kernels for example, your device may freeze when sleeping, but with a lot of testing and debugging we might be able to create a kernel that works for everyone.
When having any problems, please keep reporting!

I would like to implement overclocking though, but only if the kernel is still 100% stable for everyone.
Stil need to find out how, as I'm still learning C and kernel hacking.
The main problem at the moment is that all different hardware revisions have different issues.
Mine has touchscreen issues with a lot of kernels for example, your device may freeze when sleeping, but with a lot of testing and debugging we might be able to create a kernel that works for everyone.
When having any problems, please keep reporting!

To avoid SoDs, you need to set the lower voltage higher.
The standard voltages I'm using should be ok, but mine still SoD's sometimes.
With stock kernel as well as with other kernels, as well as with my own kernel..
Unfortunately it always happens when I'm not at home, so I can't directly debug using ADB (if possible at all).
So I can't easily find out wether it's a hardware issue, kernel issue or software issue.
If anyone has a clue about this, please reply!!

Is it SoD with dock connected or tablet alone? I'm sure you're familiar with the SD card removal thing from the dock to prevent SoD with guevors kernel? That wasn't my issue anyway, but it's just one I've heard of...
edit: you know, I didn't even think about the voltages being the issue with the other kernels... Is there an automated program to adjust voltages? I used QuickClock Overclock for my Droid X, but I'm not familiar with changing voltages on any other devices...

I wouldn't MIND having OC, but I hardly use it. I got out of the OC game after watching it kill batteries on multiple phones and devices..
No one really NEEDS to OC, but for some reason people feel the need for it. The only phone I really NEEDED OC was my Droid Eris to play Angry Birds when that first came to Android... anyways, off topic...
I messed with the tablet last night, and still had no SoD.. I'll report back again tonight when I get home from work.
do you make it for jb please ?? we need it
Good to hear that the kernel works so far, hope it won't SoD.
I don't have the dock, the SoD's are just random it seems.
I'm also not working on overclocking anymore, too much files are involved which make it difficult to understand and fix.
It's also a pretty big risk, you could burn your CPU or GPU if using wrong values or something like that.
I'll leave the stock voltages and stock frequencies.
I'm now trying to fix the touchscreen issue that happens after some time. Not many people have the problem, so this won't do anything to other people.
Just updating the Linux I2C core to new 3.6 and backporting some newer touchscreen drivers.
Maybe I can also include some newer USB Ethernet drivers and backport other things.
When I implemented something that's worth trying out, I will put a new kernel version online

Different JB ROMs may require different ramdisks, so it will take a little time to get it done properly and stable.
For which JB ROM would you like to use it? I might be able to take a copy of the ROM's kernel's own ramdisk and combine it with my kernel
I'm also thinking into making one for RaymanFX's new LiquidSmooth ROM, anyone interested?

I am sorry if i sound stupid, but where do i extract files to? I have a flashing red light on my USB ethernet but no connection
Hi, does Android display a notification that you connected an USB Ethernet device?
And for which ROM are you trying?

USB Ethernet works on Android 2.3 with icon...
Ethernet doesn't have anything to do with Android at all.
The Linux kernel provides drivers which will provide Android a universal interface to control Ethernet devices.
When you plug in your USB ethernet device, the kernel will create an eth0 interface (first ethernet device interface).
Android sees that immediately and will show a little message that an ethernet device is detected.
With very old Android versions, Android doesn't really support ethernet, but some kernels do.. in that case ethernet support will be provided automatically without any notifications.
So for example, if Samsung want to support every USB ethernet device, they can, by building support into the Linux kernel.
If Asus doesn't, they don't build any support in the kernel, so the devices won't be recognised and so they will not work.
Except 1 or maybe 2 devices, the original Asus kernel doesn't support ANY Ethernet device, but my kernel supports them all

new release
Everyone on older versions, please upgrade to v2.0 and try my new kernel manager application!
(Which is also my very first Android application)
Enjoy and please post feedback
If anyone would like to tryout a JB version of my kernel, please pm me!
I ran your 1.0 version, and it's great. I have MASSIVE battery life compared to before. The only issue I have noticed is with wifi reconnecting after deep sleep. It disconnects when screen is off (i verified the settings), but it has a difficult time reconnecting. I usually cycle the wifi toggle and it connects, or I click on my wifi and it connects. It's clearly not a major issue, just a little extra thought when I wake it up.
I read through and no one reported anything like this, so I figured it might be something to keep your eye out for in your later builds. I will install the 2.0 today and give feedback later. Thanks for your hard work!

[Q] USB WiFi Antenna

Hello, I have an USB antenna. It's realtek 8187 core. I use it for my laptop to catch WiFi signals which are far away.
I want to use that anatenna on my smartphone. It's Lenovo K900.
I have root. I found some app - PCAP Capture.
It can recognize my antenna and then start capturing but I don't want to log packets, I want to connect to some wifi and using the Internet.
Is it possible?

I'll be releasing a guide about that soon.
Basically, you must recompile the kernel of a working ROM to support rtl 8187 drivers.
It is not as easy as it sounds like, but it fan be done, CM is recommended. Got it working some weeks ago and used it just now.
If you want some references:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/go...pment/guide-convert-phone-pwn-phone-t2852293
This is basically the process, but you'll need to adapt it to your ROM and device.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.
Thanks but my knowledge about Linux are not so good. I don't think I could edit the kernel for myself. Also my phone doesn't support CM. I hoped that there is some app which I would install and get that antenna support :d

Kismet was going to develop one, but seems like the project has been abandoned. Unfortunately with RTL 8187 you can't even try to load kernel modules trough a chrooted environment anymore, too outdated on realtek site. Technically you could cross compile kernel modules, but is almost exactly the same process as building the kernel itself. CM is not a must, but it is recommended, you would have all the source code available so you can make sure the compilation terminates successfully.
Do what you want, if you feel like giving it a try, I'll try to write an easy explanation for everything so that even newcomers can attempt to do this

Ok, thank you.
