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.
Code:

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
Kernel hackers on XDA
I may have a lucrative project for you. My company is looking for someone to help us hack the kernel for an off brand tablet chip. We are in the market for a low cost tablet solution but need it to support USB host and 3g which the low end tablet chipsets do not currently support.
We are discussing put together a fairly large bounty for this project but in the meantime I would love to get XDA's thoughts on what a project like this would take as far as time and what the probability of success.
Please feel free to respond or pm me for further details.
We would need to know specs. Device. OS. Any available source code. Stuff like that before we could even guess at an ETA

So that is part of the problem. There are multiple options for each.
The basics are we are looking at a Android 3.2 or 4.0 tablet with a rockchip or boxchip processor and at least one usb/micro usb port.
In the meantime we have been looking at using a Archos G9 tablet but have been unable to figure out how to get the device to print and charge from the single micro usb port. It appears the micro usb port cannot charge from host mode (unless there is some sort of internal setting we are missing). Instead we have looked at switching the usb mode via software. The problem is although the device is rooted we do not appear to have the ability to change files in the sys folder.
It is my understanding that were we able to change files in the sys folder we would be able to change the usb mode by:
# echo b_peripheral > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode
# echo a_host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I recommend using a a500 tablet. It has USB host. You can get them cheap on eBay.

Unfortunately I also need 3g and I haven't found the a501s for anywhere near as low a prices as the Archos w/3g.
Has there been official confirmation if either of these will be available? The official forums didn't yield much. I can see where Miracast is in, but I use MHL all the time with my AppRadio, so this is important t me
No MHL or Slimport on this phone, sadly something had to be sacrificed for such a good price, i hope Roku will implement miracast soon to be able to view my phone on the TV with out buying any extra dongle.
According to Phone Arena, there /is/ apparently MHL. See here http://www.phonearena.com/phones/OnePlus-One_id8603
Edit: there isn't
On the official forum someone mentioned that the spec sheets for the Oppo Find 7 show mhl but it actually doesn't have it and apparently the One plus one shares some parts with the Find 7 so its possible it doesn't have it

It is not possible to enable this? Or it is missing hardware?

I created a ticket asking this exact question. The answer from the OnePlus support:
Ivan*(OnePlus)
Hi xxxxxx,
Unfortunately, the phone doesn't support MHL, but you can try with Chromecast to mirror the screen to TV. Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Ivan
I am asking myself, is that missing hardware or just missing software? If it's software it should be possible to add it, no?

No , there is no MHL on the OPO. I bought myself a MHL monitor and it's gone to waste. Time to look for a chromecast dongle.
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if in a jailbreaked Surface RT is possible enable Miracast, If i'm not wrong the Tegra chip support Miracast so if we could install unsigned driver could be possible install Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.3 and later that support Miracast enabling the feature on Surface RT?
Thanks,
Jesus.

Since a jailbroken device can load whatever we want and the the Tegra 3 does support Miracast, in theory this should be possible. However we need to HAVE that driver for Miracast to work. Hmmmm, maybe Jesus you can show us the miracle

I wish... but first I don't know the actual unreleased method for jailbreak and also I'm still looking for the drivers around the net... Maybe someone with more knowledge about drivers can help
Now that Jailbreak for 8.1 has been released, any luck finding drivers 1.3+ compiled on ARM?
Hello Experts, I dont know whether my question is correct or not. But I need to know if monitor mode is possible in Qualcomm Chipset or not? Like Bcmon is available for Broadcom Chipset. In every posts/threads there's note "Only for Broadcom Chipset" but I have got Qualcomm. Help me out please.

The Qualcomm Atheros company is developed Wi-fi Chipset.
Already make a lot of monitor mode USB wifi adopter is available in online and near your shop.
but, no one mobile is supporting monitor mode.
