[Q] ICS usb host webcam - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, after several minutes of googling, I can't seem to find a conclusive answer to this question: does Ice Cream Sandwich support USB webcams?
My classmates and I are trying to write an app that uses computer vision, which would require a camera. I recently (yesterday) ordered a cheap ICS tablet without a back-facing camera, so I would like to know if ICS's usb hosting support includes drivers for webcams. If not, I *might* cancel my order. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
I've also bought an entry level tablet without rear cam, so I'm also really interested to know if it's possible or not.
Perhaps something can be done in USB Host mode, I'll check if my ICS tablet support this host mode.
To follow.

USB Host?

I've read the following articles
http://adq.livejournal.com/95689.html
http://www.tombom.co.uk/blog/?p=124#googtrans/auto/it
They show how to implement usb host on Hero and Droid. It's possible to do the same thing on G1 and Magic 32B? What about usb host driver?
Thank you.
Yes, at least on the magic Andrew's patch works with minor changes. Watch the android-kernel list for a cleaned up patch in the next day or so.
A kernel source is available and appears that it is working on the G1.
USB keyboard for magic?this sounds soo fu iPhone. XD
Have things evolved since that day ?
http://adq.livejournal.com/96583.html
Seems like no, they haven't
We should get this rolling then, itd be sweet to have host mode
think so too. anybody is able to do it? (except firerat anderweb and cyanogen as it seems they are doing enogh other stuff)
Bump for that USB host
I'm not sure if you people realize this, but there is more to getting USB devices working than simply enabling "host mode". In fact, you need drivers for the specific hardware, and you need something to detect plugging and activate the drivers. Also FYI: You need to build an interface between android and those hardware drivers, otherwise you're stilll not getting anywhere.
Bump
I wish I knew about development enough to contribute. This seems like it would be top priority.

does anyone know if this is stock on any of the froyo roms?

[Q] Disgo Tablet 6000

Hi,
someone is interested to develop a Rom with Froyo for the device "Disgo Tablet 6000"?
Thanks in advance
Il Conte 81
I'd love any info on this too. Disgo Tablet 6000 has a rather locked down version of Android that doesn't even have Marketplace nor Facebook. I like it but it's currently useless until you add in some apk's.
I'm therefore willing to experiment a bit with loading roms onto it. Done so on my Hero but would need a few pointers on this one as I go.
Ive updated my rom to 2.2 using a rom for the sylvania tablet - but have lost root access and considering downgrading - I aslo have a running android market but no paid apps (looking into how to enable this)
Its a good cheap device - any input greatly recieved
I downgraded my rom to 2.1 and got root back!! YAY!! Im trying out getting android market on it tonight and seeing if I can get apps2sd working.
Id love to know how to build roms....but...there is no recovery image just the option to install from sd or via the OTG port.
Rom building I have no clue with and unlike regular android which can utilise the recovery process and a rom in zip form you need special drivers and program to push it to the device (if doing it via the otg port) Similar to the RUU for winmo.
The file extension is IUS - I have the files for the 2.1 update and 2.2 and uide if anyone is interested?
Plus Ill post back if I get market working.
Gurry
I've been trying to update a disgo (hwver=12.2.0.5) to froyo but have no idea which of the ius files are safe to flash , i did flash disgo_12.2.0.5.1.4.ius but it seems to be exactly the same as i had already
noticed these are down to £70 on play at the moment has anyone had any more luck with theirs?

Hold a finger on the screen, keep the menu button pushed in, and hold the power button. Keep all three fingers on until you see text, then remove all fingers and push the menu button once.

Hi all, know this thread has been quiet from quite a long time but.... I have exactly the same problem as choppah When you switch it on it sticks at the
" Disgo tablet 6000RL
Finger touch
Stylus Free"
Boot screen
I have been given the tablet to try and "fix".... I have tried the 3 finger boot to recovery however i then get "Getting recovery Image" "No recovery image found, try recover from SD."
As you may be aware the usb's on the sides are both HOST apparently the one nearest the HDMI port is the OTG port but when i try and connect it to my pc neither device recognises the other. I read somewhere that you needed to press both the power and menu buttons and i did that to no avail.....
I would love to just get the thing working optimally by installing a Stock ROM, from all my searching i believe that there is no stock for this device but have also found it may be possible to install a sylvania rom. As i have never had this tablet boot up and i have not got any box\instructions, plus there is no serial number on the back only model etc i have no idea which sylvania rom would be safe to install and if this could be done by sdcard at all?
Any and all help/advice welcome
Hi All,
I have managed to get a little further with this.... But only a little. Using Techvendetta's newsd.img i have managed to get to a point where the tablet will load images from the sdcard! Thats about it though. I am still stuck at the inital Disgo screen as i dont know enough about how the boot actually works... i am unsure how i can sort this issue. Is this an actual hardware failure? I suspect not as the recovery appears towork using the newsd.img. At least it appears to write the correct data. I cannot as i have stated beofre get otg working.
If anybody reads this... please help if possible....

[BUILD][03-Sep-2016][SP2] Android-x86 / Remix OS

Hi Devs!
I'm wondering why not more people here working to get android lollipop working on our beloved tablets
I started to read a little bit into the topic and found quick easy solutions on the web to get ordenary android-x86 images boot very well.
Draco wrote an How-To that is easy and works also perfect with the Surface-Pro
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/D85Jq02cLrE
I modified the UEFI files to work better with a out of the box intallation of the Surface and put it together with Android 5.0.2 test builds.
Collect everything I've uploaded in a Folder:
https://drive.google.com/folderview...V3VU0wYV9MY2VVVkY2eGJPT0EyTkQ4WnM&usp=sharing
working
multitouch screen
sound
internal Wifi from SP2 (88W8797)
Bluetooth
Type Cover 2 (on installation also)
Touch Cover 2 (on installation also)
Inclinometer (= rotation sensor)
Ambient light sensor
Front Cam (tested with open Camera)
Rear Cam (tested with open Camera)
OpenGL (tested with Antutu)
Issues so far
Accelerometer [HID-SENSOR-200073.0]
Gyroscope [HID-SENSOR-200076.0]
Magnetometer [HID-SENSOR-200076.0]
MS Pen not working
YouTube Videos not working (only low resolutions, working over chromecast)

How-To
Here to download a Testbuild for Android 5.0.2 from Google Groups from rgb
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/3xClAbl5D_w
Info:
If an microSD card is inserted the boot process will fail, because the microSD replaces the SSD to be the hd0 device.
Solution: change the grub.cfg entry from hd0 to hd1 and also do the mod in the loopback cfg
[EDIT]: sinc latest UEFI Firmware update, booting from microSD isn't working anymore
gapps can be used from any place, just copy the contens of the .zip file to there correct places.
atm I use a small gapps package from paranoidandroid (PA)
http://d-h.st/o72
WiFi: (not required any more on available builds)
I compiled a build on my Ubuntu intallation and extract the files for you, hope copy the files works also on the downloadable iso.
Please give me feedback if the files are working for you.
usb8797_uapsta.bin replaced in /lib/firmware/mrvl/
mrvl folder replaced in /lib/modules/3.10.58-android-x86+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
Touch/Type Cover 2: (not required any more on available builds)

Hi,
I'm very interested in this!
Could u pls post a tutorial of installing OSX on surface pro 3 ?
I have only installed Max OS 10.9 in VMware, but it's not smooth verywell.
Does WiFi work well within your OSX install ed on the Disk ?
Hi!
For OSX Yosemite go to
http://www.insanelymac.com
I'm on the SP2 and WIFi only per external USB Stick sorry
I hope similar tho the SP2 kex Files for SP3 are available
For me OSX with the use of touchscreens is not very comfortable.
Is like Win7 to small buttons
Also at Android I only get WIFI working via external USB Stick atm.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks a lot, I'll try it.. someday..
Solution for gapps found by the guys from google groups.
Use a EXT4 Partition on the USB-Drive/SSD to get gapps working like a charm.

Surface Pro 3
I can verify that this does not work on the Surface Pro 3. The touchscreen doesn't work, the type cover doesn't work and the pen doesn't work, so I can't even choose my language on the first screen.

I'm sorry for that, if you have time, can you also test a available Android 4.4.4 installation if olso there touchscreen is not working?
I correct the title and update the OP that everyone sees that on SP3 ther are more problems.
Touchscreen is working on SP2 but Type Cover 2 did not so I also need an external USB keyboard for analysing things in console (ALT+F1)

Haha, I understand you, but I have to mention that I'm a noob.
As far as I understand, creating/porting the drivers/firmware/kernel modules for the surface rt will be much more difficult than starting from an existing project like android-x86.
At the moment I split my SSD into more partitiones, installed the third OS (Ubuntu 14.10), get the complete code from git repository and try to set up the build environment to learn more about things are working together.
Also on Ubuntu the WIFI (USB version of MARVELL 88W8797) wont work out of the box but after replacing the firmware from git.marvell.com I get it up working.
Unfortunately this is not working on Android that easy.
The kernel modul for WIFI is loaded (mwifiex.ko) but no additional network interface is showing (mlan0 should be created)

Haha, so glad I found this thread. First things first, is your avatar a paragliding or skydiving canopy? If so, end cells look fantastic and very nice acrobatics with your leg straight up...how did you manage that?
I spent all evening and well into the morning finally getting 4.4-r2 running successfully on my SP2 using Draco's guide. Very nice work there from him.
It's unbelievable how smooth the Android experience is natively. When people recommend the emulators they just don't understand until they experience it themselves.
I have the Type Cover 1, and it's fully functional, but bluetooth and WiFi do not work. I have an Edimax EW-7811Un which does work, but the internet speeds are unusable; it maxes out at .25 Mbps. Is there something I need to do or is there another WiFi dongle which works better? Which one do you use?
Do you know of any combo WiFi/BT dongles that work?
If I can solve the WiFi issue (don't really care about having a small dongle plugged in for android), I will be one happy camper.
One more question: I read the 4.4-r1 had some drivers or something that 4.4-r2 didn't. However, I couldn't get it to boot from USB (it would hang on the android screen). With that said, I just replaced the files within the 4.4-r2 files with the 4.4-r1 on the USB. Do I have to rebuild the thumb drive or can I just replace files?
I will try the Lollipop build later. Good to find someone else doing this! Too bad we're both newbs lol.

I got 4.4-r2 working on my SP3 and about the internet issue you can use usb tethering with your Android phone

Thats a paragliding canopy, and what you can see is the basic you have to manage when you want to fly acrobatic style.
Its a full stall where the canopy is not flying forward any more an the pilot is falling backwards untill the body stabilized under the backflying canopy
At the moment I use a USB2.0 HUB to connect the USB-Drive and the WLAN Stick at the same time. because after the last firmware Upgrade of my SP2 the Tablet do not boot any more from the microSD card. ?!?
The WLAN Stick is a original Samsung WIS12ABGNX for my Samsung TV/BD Player I used to test what can be done with them.
on Win8.1 I got a Speed of approx. 8-9MByte/sec (internal Marvell Wifi)
on Android 5.0.2 I got 4-5MByte/sec (external Samsung Wifi)
on Sony Xperia Z2 5.0.2 (unofficial) I got 2-3MByte/sec (internal ... Wifi)
when copy a file between my NAS (100MBit Network LAN structure)
so there is room for improvement, but first I really like to get more familiar with building Android from source by my self and try to get the internal Wifi working.
Also on Ubuntu 14.10 WiFi is working but not very stable but it does. (with including the firmware from git.marvell.com)

I'd rather get a small nano USB WiFi dongle and "set it and forget it." I don't want to have to carry around the SP2 and my phone with a USB cable just to use the internet.

Ya, the image was blurry, I was pretty sure that was a paragliding wing. I was a competitive high-performance canopy pilot (swooper) but have been out of the sport for a number of years. Some of the canopies now have radically different designs and the different wings between skydiving/paragliding/etc are merging now to make some cool stuff. Made a few paragliding flights, but never got into it.

You were able to boot android directly from a microSD and keep the SSD untouched (didn't even think of that)? Did the upgrade affect the partitions at all? Maybe the set root=(hd0,gpt#) and root=/dev/sda# changed, but I'm sure you already looked at that.

Ok, I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. So on Android you were getting 5 MBps (40 Mbps)? That's super fast, unless you meant 5 Mbits, which is still faster than what I'm getting. Right now, I'm getting 0.25 Mbps (0.03125 MBps) which is unusable. I have another WiFi dongle arriving today, so maybe that will help. If it doesn't, why am I getting such slow speeds?

Hi!
I did a 2nd x-check
Defenetly can receiver a 260MB file Form my NAS with ~3,2 Megabyte (~2min) per second and transmit the same file with ~4,5 Megabyte per second back to my NAS with the external Samsung USB WiFi stick
I would say its also possible to installiert Android to the microSD on a EXT4 partition and boot it via Grub.
Yes its all about the (hd0,gpt2) and /dev/sda2 or similar.
Just try it and if the numbers are not correct Boot into Grub and adapt the setting by pressing "e" and thest the setting with "F10"
Well I just tried the TP-Link TL-WN725N and it did not work at all.
Tried within 4.4-r1 that's installed to SP2's SSD and Lollipop booting from USB. WiFi just hangs at turning on and doesn't recognize the dongle.
Why am I getting such slow speeds on the other dongle? And do you know of any specific nano WiFi dongles that work well for this application? I tried searching on Google and in the Android-x86 group but came up empty.
I just want WiFi!!!! :crying:
Hi sorry for my english,there is a guide for install android on surface pro 1 ?

LG 360 VR - OpenHMD Journey (Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD support and SteamVR)

Hey all,
So i am currently working on a OpenHMD driver for the LG 360 VR and want to keep a bit of a log here for development, since other developers might be able to pitch in.
I have been able to open the device and start it up (with help of user Supportit), enabling the screen and backlight and getting the IMU data what i am currently working out, if that is figured out which should take a week or 2, we can start using it.
OpenHMD (http://www.openhmd.net) will make it possible to use the LG 360 VR on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android and on SteamVR through the SteamVR-OpenHMD project (https://github.com/ChristophHaag/SteamVR-OpenHMD).
Current issues i am having is the screen, it reports back as a single 1440x960 display and they are rotated inwards per eye.
https://imgur.com/a/iuToEAP In this image i modified a DK2 image real quick and compensated for the screens, the arrow is where "UP" is.
I need to find a method to set the orientation of the screens either by setting a mode in the firmware (no idea how to do that, have not looked into other usb calls), or a custom EDID (less desirable).
Edit: We got it working!
As long as you have USB-C with DisplayPort mode, or use a PCIe card with DP passthrough you are set.
There were some strange things with the device, that we had to deal with, like the IMU packet report was a bit odd, there is still some work to do to calibrate and drift correct it.

Hi. This is like it runs on the lg g5. In the firmware it is not possible to edit the resolution. Or orientation
In the vr goggles is one toshiba chip that drives the displays and get its signal as normal hdmi and then there is one chip that turns the usb c displayport data into normal hdmi signals.
The firmware on the stm32 is just there for the gyro and acc and also for the powermanagement. It has no image connection to the toshiba chip.
Here is the datasheet https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&sour...FjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw0UekijaakssHFFEoNwewFR

So, do you know if they rotate the images in software? You took your device apart if i remember correctly, could you try rendering a application and filming the screen?
That could help me determine how to fix this.
I wonder if the firmware has information regarding orientation of the screen, or if there might be a command you can set to change it.
Since they are sending raw strings on the usb line, that might be a thing.
The image is rotate in the software.
The problem also is the resolution of the device on android.
The 1440x960 is only supported by the kernel from the LG G5 and has to be added to any other phone to make it work.
The firmware is not able to change or rotate the picture/resolution.

I think the screens are connected inside like this so they always need to be rotaded from software side ...
I checked OpenHMD Git and there is no mention about LG do you have some code to share ? Thanks.

Yes I did. It kinda works, LG-R100 it is detected as a normal display in Ubuntu 16.04 but it doesn't display anything without OpenHMD.
I have downloaded OpenHMD, switched to the branch LG-R100, build and installed it according to the guidelines on the OpenHMD site and tried the examples. After trying the examples I have managed to turn on the glasses and to use it as a display. Actually kind of the display and here I have some problems that I still haven't solved.
Glasses are recognized by the pc as one display, so in the left eye I see left half of the desktop and in the right eye I see right half of the desktop also both halves are rotated differently. So currently in best case I can see half of the desktop without rotation and close my second eye.
I saw that there where some updates in git regarding R100 but I still can't compile version for Windows for now best option I think is reshade.

Defintive solution to use desktop mode Android q with one plus 6

Hi to all,
i think i'm studying far from last month the best solution to use desktop mode or another practice to connect my one plus 6 to an external monitor or device. I need to go out and works tih my customers logging with my phone and use it as a laptop. I'd like to create a thred to list all the chances for our phone!
I find three alternatives:
1) miracast with chromecast. I don't like it, cause i want a really to android pure experience also on desktop
2) external monitor like Samusng Dex. Someones had succeded to connect oneplus 6 with Dex or lenovo portable monitor???
3) The solution that i explored too much is connect my phone to an hdmi or DP adapter. All you know that our onesplus 6 have a usbC-2 that don't support diplay port. Reading on the web, on some XDa topics and around the web maybe we have a good solution. We have to find a way to connect our usbc-2 to a usbc-3 adpter with dp and then to hdmi. Is this correct? Anyone tried it? Which cables have you used?
I.E: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GF3YV7V?tag=viglink1635526-xda-20 wtih this cable what i need in this case i usb c to a adapter?
If someone of you had find a solution, please talk about the refresh rate. I don't want to play games, i need a definitive solution for productivity.
I'm writing from italy and actually didn't have the update to android 10. I'm expecting it, have you some news about?
Bye
I'm in the same situation, currently im looking for solutions,,, surely if I find one I'll post an update here.
