Has anyone checked this out? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220108 It's a project started by another XDA member in which he reverse-engineered the 30-pin dock connector to provide functionality to our android devices.
Now my question to the guys here in this forum would be: are there any roms that support power over OTG? I have yet to have a purpose for OTG until I saw this which leaves me in the dark on the topic.
This is such a great project, let's see if we can get behind him and get support out! :highfive:

Dear XDA,
I am a new user, so if this post is in the wrong place, sorry.
I am planning to make a custom case for my ville. My plan is to mod a very small usb hub into it. So i can plug in usb cables and stuff. Also i wanna buy a very fast mirco sd card. The hub wil be inserted in the mirco usb port. I wanted to ask if it is possible to boot from such an external micro sd card, outside the one s. If it is possible do i need to root it? Has anyone tried something failiar before? And am i able to charge my phone through the usb hub?
Tanks in advance,

I'd say that this is more suited to development or accessories, but I'm sure a moderator won't mind.
Android is based on Linux, so there is no reason why it can''t be possible. It would probably be quite difficult, but definitely do-able.

I do no work with programming (I'm taking a crash course in computing in the summer to get a bit of help) so I am probably one of the last people that you should ask to be honest mate. If you repost this (not that a senior member would ever recommend that...) on General or Android Development then you may get a bit more attention from people who know what you are doing.
Hi there!
I have a question about Miracast compatibility:
As far as I know Miracast Streaming is software related. So majority of 4.2.2+ phones can stream the display. I wonder if it is possible that all the devices act as recievers too?
What I mean is.. if you have an Android TV Box, can you make it work as Miracast reciever so I could stream my android phone to that Android TV Box?
I am looking at some Android Boxes HERE and I see that only THIS ONE "officialy" supports Miracast (as reciever). Is it really the only one with Miracast capability?
Thank you for your time in advance!
I've searched the forum for an answer with no luck. I posted it in Android Q&A with no luck. Maybe I'll have some luck over here since our Nexus 5 supports Miracast.
Already posted my question HERE.
anyone?

I have a Vizio Co-Star (Coaster?) and it will not support Miracast at all.
Android TV boxes run older versions of Android on hardware that requires separate development from other Android devices. There is little or no Dev support for any of them and Google seems to have pretty much abandoned them. There was a rumor that Google TV boxes would get the Chromecast abilities via software update, but that hasn't happened.
I'd look into those cheap Android HDMI dongles if I were you, instead of Google TV devices.

I have been trying without success to identify a good adapter to allow for micro USB charge and 3.5mm stereo audio feed through an apple 30 pin female. There are many offers but none that work as promised by seller. If anyone has a recommendation I would be grateful. Most offers look like included image.
Thanks.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. XDA really does not support Apple devices. But you could try our sister site here, http://iphone-developers.com/
Thread closed.
Forgive me if the question is outright silly...
I am looking for a portable FullHD monitor to use with my Nexus 5. While I do have and use Slimport->HDMI dongle, most portable monitors now provide only USB 3.0 (DisplayLink) interface. Hence the question: is there any chance the two could work together? I realize that Nexus would not be able to provide the power needed, so I would require something in between, like a dock or a powered USB hub, but could it possibly work? Slimport seems to be related to DisplayLink, yet I have not seen any Slimport->DisplayPort adapters.

Hello,
I am looking for an Android-based "TV Box" that has good (any?) community support. I've found some devices with great hardware specs, however none appear to have good manufacturer support (updates). I've only owned Nexus phones and tablets since the Galaxy Nexus days so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to updates and I prefer the ASOP experience. If someone could help me find a device or point me to the correct forum to ask, I'd much appreciate it. What I'm looking for is:
HDMI Output (Prefer 4K)
8 Core CPU
2+ GB RAM
32GB+ Storage (or expandable)
Wifi (Prefer 802.11AC)
Ethernet
Bluetooth
Thanks,
Thomas
