Hello everyone.
First of all, since I'm new here, please forgive me if these are repeated questions.
1. Is there ink effect for latest release of android revolution rom ?
2. What is the best kernel that improve quality of sound ?
3. Any chance that I can run portable Hard Drive ?
Thanks for your kind help.
Regards,
For question 3 , no you can't run a usb hdd unless it is externally powered...
Though I believe it may be possible with the right OTG adaptor.
I believe this because I have a tv tuner that was working but the OTG adaptor is iffy, and after a short while I got the dreaded "High powered usb device detected". Might need to experiment with OTG adaptors...

hi, it is posible to connect/read a usb device to the phone (dream). something like a usb stick or a digital camera?
I asked on three different forums if Android or Debian can access USB mass storage device, without a reply from anyone.
ok, thanks for your answer. i hope, someone knows about
My initial thought would be no. But I think it would be possible with a program or some process/service running on the phone.
I've looked at all relevant threads in the Xoom forums and on the web but still can't find the solution to my problem so I'm hoping one of you guys can help me.
I have:
1.Motorola Xoom US WiFi(But bought in Singapore, MZ604)
2.Working DIYed USB Host Cable(I plugged my DHD into the microUSB end and a normal USB-USB cable at the other then plugged into my computer
3.Sandisk ThumbDrive, Kingston ThumbDrive, FAT32
4.Microsoft USB Mouse
I'm running the awesomely win Tiamat ROM(thanks) as well as the kernel which I was told worked from the this thread(Tiamat 1.4.2), I have the USB Watcher OTG app too. But not only can I not mount or use any USB device, the devices do not light up. there appears to be no power flowing to the devices.
A little help please
Thanks for reading this post
BTW After flashing the 1.4.4 Kernel my WiFi refused to work so I downgraded.
When you searched other threads, you missed a very relevant one. In this section, exactly 12 posts below yours, is a similar thread with this post:
"I'm not sure if its a power problem or the unusual way the built-in Sandisk software mounts the drive (it mounts as a "cd drive" in Windows); but Sandisks are problematic.
If you can, please try another thumb drive just to be sure. Preferably, one with no lights (to minimize power requirements) and not a Sandisk or Kingston, which both use proprietary built-in software upon insertion into PC usb ports."
Secondly, you should not have flashed another Tiamat kernel. 1.4.4 is included in the Tiamat 1.0 ROM. BRD stated that in the OP of that thread. You may want to reflash the Tiamat 1.0 ROM again. Then you will not need to flash any other kernel.
I'm sorry if I was not clear, but my sandisk or Kingston appears to be of the type which does not have the annoying U3 thing(the thing mentioned that causes the thumbdrive to mount as a cd drive.) I reflashed the 1.4.4 kernel just to be sure it's there(oh and I did reflash the ROM), and got a error what prevented WiFi from working. And none of the USB devices I tried(including the kingston with no lights) worked. I think there's no power, so I'm looking for help here. Anyway thanks for reading my long post, sorry if I'm annoying.

If your wifi is not working, I would recommend reflashing the ROM. USB drive connection has been problematic. See this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068999
I usually connect devices through a hub on a stock unrooted xoom wifi running 3.1. Without the hub I've found usb mice work without external power (provided by the hub) but flash drives do not. For troubleshooting maybe try connecting through an externally powered hub to see if you don't meet the power requirements.
Honestly though, since the flash drive's light doesn't even come on it sounds like the xoom is not recognizing that it should be a host which hints to me that there's something wrong with the cable. The way you tested it doesn't sound like it tests the OTG part of the cable (the 5th pin) because the PC will be the host either way. I just bought Motorola's Camera Connection Kit off of amazon. I figured for long term use it's better than a home made one anyway. I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts yet...just search Motorola Camera Connection Kit on amazon if you're interested.
Has anyone with 2.3.4 installed on tried using usb mouse or keyboard? Even usb flash drives? The 2.3.4 haves USB Host and Accessory Modes that theoretically allows that kind of things. You also need a microUSB to USB adaptor but you can make it if you have two spare cables. I am developing apps with external device connection and I would like to know this works due to the fact that I'm running 2.3.3 stock on my device.
Thank you.
A colleague of mine used a bluetooth mouse on his Samsung Galaxy S, at the time having 2.1-update1. You can try this option.
I don't need bluetooth devices, I need usb connection. Is far more reliable then bluetooth.
Think you need honeycomb or ics to use USB devices

This feature just work on devices that support USB On-the-go. don't try to make an app.
>> Please press Thanks:good: if you find this post useful <<
u need a USB Host enabled Hardware and Kernel to be able to use that.. it's not about old or new devices.. if it supports USB Host it will work. i am using USB keyboard on my Samsung i9100 (S II) and a chinese tab and it's working brilliantly. however it doesnt work on chacha for example.. however why would u use a USB keyboard what's the point of buying Chacha if u wont use it's keyboard no offense
Hello,
I'm new in Android environment and I don't have a clear picture how I can be extended a tablet functionality.
Example:
I buy a tablet which has no 3G radio, GPS and HDMI port in default, but it has USB port and Bluetooth.
Can I use a 3G USB webstick for this tablet?
What is needed for it from hardware and software side?
My idea is that for this from software side I would need a driver which is built in the kernel.
If I have a table without this driver (for example a Samsung P5110) what are my possibilities? Can a Custom ROM like CyanogenMod solve this issue?
Similar questions for the other two things:
Can I use a BT GPS receiver for my tablet without anything or it has requirements(hardware or software)?
How can I use USB port to watch a movie on a HDMI device?
I found two things regarding USB port which (I think) are relevant:
OTG and MHL.
As I understand MHL is need for the HDMI functionality, but it is a hardware parameter of the USB port/controller or a software thing?
If it is a hardware thing: How can I decide that a tablet USB port has this capability or not?
Same question to the OTG.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Ponr
Hi all,
Since i updated my Note 10.1 tablet ( ed.2014 ) to android L, my external dac stopped working.
The usb dac is the Dragonfly 1.2 (Audioquest) and worked fine before, plug & play.
I tested the dac, the usb-otg cable and also the usb connection of the tablet => they are OK.
Hardware hasn't changed, so to me, it looks like a software problem.
Is the usb power output (more) limited ?
I used the "usb host diagnostics" app that tells me the dac is still recognised.
Is there a way to make the dac function again, or do i have to go back to the earlier version of android ?
thanks !
Jo
Hi,
It seems that you already found the best place on XDA to post your question.
Please continue your journey there
Good luck!
