Hi,
i'm looking for a HTC-device with android that support an external Keyboard per (micro)usb or wireless?
and it's possible to use an usb-hub with an external mouse (and keyboard)?
I know, that the windows-mobile support an external Keyboard.
If any android-htc-devicd support an external keyboard, i think i take not windows mobile.
(windows mobile not support native apps, the support for firefox mobile was ended, and i think i buy only one windowsmobile-phone, the HD2, but i have later the problem to switch. i think i will never use windows mobile 7)
only 2 devices support usbHost which is required for a phone to use other usbdevices
but people had ok results with bluetooth keyboards and mice
Bluez development team is getting ready to release version 4.97 with new bluez version that implements AVRCP 1.3 profile. This is very important feature for anyone who uses the phone with any bluetooth enabled car audio system. Unfortunately, ICS doesn't suport it. Can this be integrated into one the custom kernels?

AVRCP 1.3 on BlueZ
During the past weeks I’ve been working again on the BlueZ project and now we can finally announce that the AVRCP 1.3 profile is officially supported.
Technical background
For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, here comes a little background for those buzzwords:
BlueZ is the user-space part of the Bluetooth® technology stack used on Linux and Android. It has support for several Bluetooth profiles such as RFCOMM, HID, PAN, PBAP, OBEX, HFP, A2DP (some of them are implemented as separate projects) that are defined by the Bluetooh SIG. In simpler terms, BlueZ is what allows your Linux device to do amazing things with Bluetooth technology such as stream stereo music, make phone calls and other wireless magics.
One of these profiles supported by BlueZ is AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), which allows two devices to communicate through Bluetooth technology and exchange commands/messages to control the music/video being played.
New features
Until some weeks ago BlueZ only had support for version 1.0 of the AVRCP protocol. This early version allows a Controller device (e.g. a Bluetooth technology-based car kit) to tell the Target device (e.g. a smartphone) to play, pause, go to next music and go to previous music. We’ve now upstreamed an implementation of AVRCP Version 1.3, which adds some nice features to the previously supported version, such as:
Transmitting metadata of the music being played;
Change Application Settings such as Equalizer, Repeat, Shuffle and Scan modes;
Set current status of media playback: playing, stopped, paused, forward-seeking, reverse-seeking.
Some time ago I bought a Bluetooth stereo car kit. How boring it was having the ability to stream music from my phone but not see any information regarding who was playing, which album, etc. This is no more. Now we have proper support for AVRCP 1.3 . Our ProFUSION team utilized the open source baseport for the OMAP™ processor-based Blaze™ mobile development platform from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) to help achieve this milestone. Additionally, we worked together with TI on testing and debugging to make this AVRCP 1.3 support a reality. Below you can see yours truly holding a Blaze™ mobile development platform from TI, sending music metadata to a Bluetooth technology-enabled car kit.
Awesome!
This is great news! I am very eager to get this working in my Nexus S.
Any update on this? I would love to see a way to implement this in a rooted phone...
bumpity bump
will he a gooood thing, no other news? bye
Is there any custom roms with Miracast support for TF101? Is it stable enough to everyday use (I hope at least these are working: camera, mic, dock, gps)? Have you tried yet that Miracast thing?
Thanks,

BUMP!
I didn't get any replies so let me ask again.

Is there Miracast support for this rom? At least it is 4.2 version of Android that should contain that Miracast thing.
Is there 4.2 version of CyanogenMod 10 available for TF101?

I found that this ROM should support Miracast but it seems that it is not so popular than those other roms.

I just try to find some answers before I will choose one for test round. I think I will buy "Netgear PTV3000 Push2TV HD" and connect it to my TV. So any comments about Miracast are mostly welcome!
If you dont know what is Miracast
Miracast is a peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard created by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Billed as an open alternative to Apple's AirPlay Mirroring, it allows users to, for example, echo display from a phone made by Company A onto a TV made by Company B, share a laptop screen with the conference room projector in real-time, and watch live programs from a home cable box on a tablet. Miracast connections are formed via Wi-Fi Direct, which allows direct Wi-Fi connections in a similar manner to bluetooth.Miracast only works over Wi-Fi. It cannot be used to stream to a router access point.
On 29 October 2012, Google announced that Android version 4.2 (updated version of Jelly Bean) will support the Miracast wireless display standard, and by default will have integrated features for it. As of January 8, 2013, the Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z, ZL, T and V officially support the function.

After reading a little about it, it seems you need to be certified to use it, and the TF101 isn't in the list. Funny though that people report the Nexus 7 has having it but it's not listed there... So maybe you don't actually need to be certified... or maybe Google just didn't feel like listing themselves on there.
I can also confirm that the ROM in my sig (EOS4 - 4.2 JB MR1) does not have any extra options in the display settings. So unless the option is hidden elsewhere, I think it's safe to assume it's not there at all.

Thanks for the information.
Following HowTo is based of this ROM --> [ROM][WiP] Android 4.2 on TF101 | v0.8.0 XMAS | 4.2 GAPPS"
How To Install CM10.1 Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean on TF101 ASUS Eee Pad Transformer

That HowTo mentions about Miracast support but I'm not sure anymore is it just some Android 4.2.1 copy/paste information. If anyone use that ROM could you check is there any Miracast settings available?
I'd also like to get an answer for this if anyone has already tested these roms.
thx.
if we can'tget miracast, there's an app named MirrorOp
give it a try. not bad...
One discussion about why Miracast isn't enabled in the custom roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37226818
I understand that there could be some problems when TF101 use 2.4 ghz wifi and it lack 1080p resolution. But I think it all just speculation until some one enable that Miracast code and test it. We don't have any word from our Rom developers about this Miracast thing. They should actually enable it, take a look the code and test it. It would be nice feature to listen Spotify using your TV with Hifi amplifier or just watch movies with lower 720p hd resolution if that is possible with our tablet.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was proprietary code put into android that us mortals won't have access to.

Hello together.
Are there any news regarding an Android 4.2.2 Custom Rom for the TF101 with Miracast support.
I have a new LG TV Model 47LA7408 and I would like to use the second screen feature to stream the tv programm to my Tablet. But this requires Android 4.2.2 with Miracast.
Thank you for replies.
There are only a VERY FEW Android devices that support Miracast. ALL of these devices have 5 GHz radios, as do the TV's that support Miracast as well.
It is safe to say that the TF101 will not ever support Miracast.
Best option that I have found is to use an app that can connect to a DLNA server/player to play movies/videos from my tablet and put them on the TV.
Either that or get an HDMI cable and plug that in to your tablet to put the picture on the screen.

Hmm...
It can be done if you use a slingbox. But that can be a bit expensive...

My TV has a feature called second TV/ Second Screen. This gives the user the possibility to stream the tv signal to the LG remote APP on the users android. But this feature requires Android 4.2.2 and Miracast.

Then you will need a Miracast certified device: http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...ate_to=&selected_certifications[]=67&x=37&y=8
Miracast uses 5 GHz, which the TF101 does not have. To use this feature on the TF101 you would need to add a 5GHz radio and get it functioning (driver) and then see about enabling Miracast in the ROM.
I would love to have Miracast support on my TF101, but I do realize that it is 2 year old hardware and it is not supported or practical at this point.
Hi guys
You doesn't need any of the patches or 3rd party apps.
You just need to follow these steps in order to use cast screen in custom roms:
1. Just enable wifi 'on'
2.Open cast & it shows all available devices:fingers-crossed:
I use a tablet as a Miracast receiver. I had a old china tablet with Android 4.2.2 and Miracast was working without a dedicated application like Miracast Receiver. Now I have a new one with Android 4.4.2 and it is working only if I run Miracast Receiver application. Can anybody tell my why?
Hello,
I have lg uh7700t-ta which has all features I need
But lacks Audio Passthrough feature. I only want to add that feature. So can I install other tv like um7700
Os which has 4.0 Websos version on this.
Because it has that audio pass through.
