I am looking to replace my work laptop with a tablet and I love the Note 10.1 but lack of wired ethernet drivers is killing it for me. I have to be able to troubleshoot wired networks for customers. Anyone know if a developer has included the ethernet drivers in a custom ROM maybe? From my understanding its just a matter of it being included in the build somehow and it just wasnt included in stock.
I can look into it for my kernel- the "Pegasus" brand of USB Ethernet drivers is fairly common.
Problem is, I think you'll also need Framework support but we don't have the TW source.

same needs....i would need it to perform some Pentests against internal web applications that are only accessable via LAN....
any update to this thread??
Any updates?
I have had success with Mokee on xiaomi mipad 4 — ethernet worked without any extra fiddling. But it bootlooped when trying to install to another device.
The xiaomi.eu ROM also has working ethernet drivers working ootb with two different usb adapters that i tried.
Lets hope the posters are still here after eight years and mokee do have a rom for Note 10.1

any apps out there for android phones that allow you to attach storage device to your phone to access files?
example
plug a external harddrive into the usb port of my android phone and access the files on the hd
yes i know this will need an adaptor
This would require host-mode for the USB port. I understand that someone got it (sorta) working on Nexus One. There was a discussion about whether G1 can even do it as it requires some HW support as well. No one knows for sure and no one with the skills has chosen to invest the time finding out.

Necro-bump, wanted to know if there was anything new on this front. I know that tablets with Android OS and such will keep coming to compete with the iPad with its USB connectivity kit, so it makes sense that sooner or later, Android OS seems like it will want to consider heading in this route.
Here is the older hack that shows it is pretty simple for anyone with basic soldering skills to enable USB OTG host mode on certain android devices and could be adapted I'm sure for other android devices:
http://hackaday.com/2010/02/10/usb-host-mode-for-droid/
The main problem is that Android does not have much support for USB hosting (yet, I bet that its surely coming). The TI OMAP platform (hmm, Droid X?) already has linux host USB drivers made. A talented programmer could use these to write a Kernal mode support to insert into a custom ROM or let root users install an app from the market to interface with USB devices. This way users could connect USB to SPDIF DACs and adapters to use mass storage devices like external usb keys or hard drives. Even possibly a normal keyboard/game controller/screen printer/webcam if your crazy enough. Too good to be true?
Here is a start on the project which has gotten some impressive progress: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel/browse_thread/thread/c8471573d7553331/0b0887947678ff87
Someone may actually be making progress on this. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794643
Amazing! Thanks.

Would it be possible to hack the infuse to support USB OTG? The SGS II is already factory supported and I was wondering if there was any way to implement that feature into the infuse for the use of external memory, USB keyboards/mice/headsets, etc. I also know that someone already hacked the Nexus One to support this. Also, would the HDMI out tell us if its supported (Since the phone is sending an image to a TV screen?)
Nothing at all?
Just wanted to give this a nudge up towards the top. Is this something that could be added via rom/kernel or does it have to be supported in hardware? Really interested in if this is possible given the recent release of DSLR Controller.
Do have any other first-gen SGS phones been modded to support it?
If so, it might be possible to get these mods implemented in our kernels - point me to a kernel for a first-gen SGS phone (NOT an SGSII) with this capability and I'll look at it.
Our hardware is fairly similar to the original SGS series, so a lot of things that work on those phones will work on ours. The SGSII is VERY different so backporting features like this is unlikely due to lack of hardware support.

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out and see if support gets added to any of the SGS phones, sadly for right now all I know of is support on the SGS2 and possibly on the Nexus S.

Nexus S hacks MIGHT be bringable to our phones - but far less likely than GS phones.
USB OTG mode is initiated by shorting USB pins 4 and 5. The phone can do it hardware wise. It's a matter of having the drivers for the accessory connected.
You don't just "have" OTG capabilities... It's a matter of what devices you support.
This would not be something which would occur at the device level. The hardware is connected to the phone, the phone runs Linux. Linux handles connections of the devices. Grab kernel modules from Linux for OTG devices.
If thats the case it would seem odd that so many developers work towards adding the support to phones.
The SGS2 doesn't have drivers built in to support connecting to canon DSLR's yet its the only phone at this point to officially support it... because it supports USB Host OTG mode.

Check out the GalaxyS hack pack for the USB chip. I can verify that the kernel knows when something OTG is connected. It brings up UART messages and you can see it in dmesg.
here you go... here's the relevant dmesg output from my device right now.

it does not create any new devices.
Right now USB host is not compiled in the kernel at all, so I'd expect this.
That's why I was asking if someone had found an example of a first-gen SGS with USB Host/OTG support compiled in. With an example kernel's defconfig and source I can analyze, it shouldn't be TOO hard to port that functionality to our device.
The current state is: FSA9480 tells the kernel that an OTG device is connected, kernel says "I dunno what that is. I'll give up and do nothing."

I think you people should try for this. I think it will work for ur device.

No, it won't. See the posts above - there are software components missing.
Again - if someone can point me to an example of a kernel where host mode is working on a first-gen GalaxyS device, I'll try to port it over. I'm not going to try and backport anything from a GSII.
Convincing the FSA9480 to signal host mode is only a tiny piece of the puzzle - see HDMI on Rogers Gingerbread as an example.
would these help entropy?

this is an old thread. but things have changed since then. its been successfully integrated into the galaxy s and nexus s. hopefully it will result in a port since its atleast plausible now.
been awhile since this has been looked at, was wondering if anyone had any luck with this, would be greatly appreciated if i got any kind of response
I know that USB Host is a Honeycomb feature, but it seems that Samsung has somehow ported it to Gingerbread for the GS2. Does anyone know if any of the Sensation ROMs will ever be able to support USB host?
Btw, this is taken from the DSLR Controller post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16497326&postcount=257), but the package we would need is android.hardware.usb.host.
I'm interested in getting USB Host mode too for that very purpose. Hope it happens soon.
Hello,
any progres with USB host on HTC sensation?
I probably must kill my self becouse i bought sensationg betwean Samsung S2 with default USB support
Stupid nokia N8 support usb HOST....
I try google some posibilites but i didnt find anything
Thx alot Martin
If the t-mobile version of the galaxy s2(aka Hercules) can do it, then we should for we share the same class of SoC(the MSM8260 vs the APQ8060), the only difference being the APQ is without a Qualcom modem. Also they both support USB OTG according to the Qualcomm specs for the Gen 3 Snapdragons. Now we just need someone to port it over.
I found arcticle when Somebody aply usb host support tu HTC DHD
Included:
new kernel
2 new modules
and probably some new "software" for using it.
Could someone be interested in developing the usb host features?? If I had the technical competences, I would develop it...but I don't know how to do it!!
If someone it's interested in it, I could donate something
Thank you
would be very nice to have such option. just perfect to copy something from one's flash stick.
When i had xperia neo, a person(a gr8 person) ported the modules into xperia 2011 series- Doomlord
Some developer should contact him
Sent from my htc Sensation 4G using XDA App
this would be of interest to me, I'm guessing we just need one or two kernel modules, and an app to load/unload them
i'm intrested too, is there news ?
USB Host mode would actually the one feature missing to make ICS perfect
I am very interested in this feature too, but can't find any solutions :/
And there is any progress? The USB Host Diagnostics v1.2 says me only NO
works on ICS?

I found this (Sorry i cannot post a link so you have to search for >> USB Host Mode on HTC Dream << on Blogspot) It is a step by step howto recompile a kernel with USB Host Support. Iwill try it on my old G1. But first I need a adapter or better a schematic for diy, so i can test if it works.
Greetings Hubert
tried today bricked kernel, which is supposed to have usb host... usb host diagnostics said no... and the device wasnt recognised...
Yesterday i got a USB cable with OTG.
Is this cable will be good?

The cable does not work at all. I can not even install the program USB Host Controller (e.g.). I ask because in HD2 had to connect the external power supply.

the cable itself is ok, but since we don't have otg working yet it won't work. If we ever get otg working i don't know if you have to power every device, a lot of devices will need power like external hdd's.

Hey guys,
wasn't there news that ICS would have quite a few usb drives implemented.
Anyway, I know there was a big fuss about usb host mode in the google nexus one section and since they were one of the first to get ics working, maybe somebody from there could help out. Like from the top of my head leedroid, or somebody like him.
Can't post any links sorry.
Wondering if USB DAC (like Fiio E17) work natively with Tab 2? I know that tab 2 have USB host capability but not sure that it has USB audio enable in the kernel and userspace?
If it's working, can i ask a favor for type of accessories i need to make it working?
To be or????

have you heard? Am considering getting one of these but usb audio is a must. I searched the ROM threads and saw where some people had asked about this functionality but haven't seen any answers. It's unlikely btw that the E17 would work without that USB recording pro apk but the E7, etc work with other Samsung 4.1 and greater ROMs without any issues. Just haven't seen anything on the Tab 2.

i end up choosing Nexus 7 instead of Tab 2. i also search through rom and kernel thread but doesn't find any trace of USB audio functionality. USB recording Pro is no go for me, the interfere just not intent for music playback.
All,
The N5 looks excellent, and after fondling one in the local CPW in the UK today, I have decided to swap my Note2.
One question - looking on AOSP, I cant see which kernel the N5 is running. Others have said 3.4 (thanks), but which build files do I need from:
http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html#figuring-out-which-kernel-to-build
??
I suspect I will need to build ethernet USB OTG kernel modules as I did for my Note2 (unless, or course, they are pre built and included like in the N7).
