I found source code for USB camera driver from Microsoft (usbcam.dll) it is for Windows CE and it is compatible with Windows Mobile. It need to be compiled for IntelXscale and/or ARM (depending on device)... Maybe someone here can try. It support around 30 usb web camera models with USB 1 and 2. It include also filter:
; Register JPEG -> RGB filter
; This filter is intended for use with the usbcam.dll, which
; produces output in the JPEG/MJPEG formats

There are 4 files:
usbcam.dll (Driver)
jpeg2rgb.dll (Support file - Filter)
usbcam.reg
jpeg2rgb.reg
Developer of this code confirm that it can be compiled for WM 5/6
Microsoft has released a webcam driver (with source) that does support a Direct Show interface. It is written for CE 6, but could be recompiled for Win Mobile 5/6 since they support Direct Show capture drivers.

Please help, im sure that it will work, there is many devices with USB Host and web cameras are so cheap... That would be great if someone will help !
so this means that with a usb-host capable device,
it is possible to use an external camera?

If someone will compile it... yes
Here is quote from description:
"The driver supports both USB 1.x and 2.0 (high-speed) cameras. The driver will
expose both uncompressed and MJPEG modes, if supported by the camera."
anyone ? This should be simple...
This would be very cool
to connect a webcam to the phone
(right, that's what it's for?)

Yes, but USB host is requried...
Ehh it look like I must compile it myself... So many programmers here but noone can do it...
my device Xda Flame has USB OTG version 1.2 compliant. (USB On-The-Go)
and can connect to HD, flash memory, keyboard, mouse etc.
I have posted on our forum http://xdaflameusers.com/viewtopic.php?id=1447
Still no reply..
Really hope someone makes use of this
If you check the developer's link, you can download webcam.dll file (from WebCam_100.zip )
also checked the discussions, a CamTest app is mentioned but where is it??
webcamWhitePaper.doc is also interesting..
EDIT: found the Camtest but no exe file! dl from http://devpi.free.fr/wince/camtest2_cpp.zip
sorry for double posting, but I think I found the answer from the developer himself
As for your initial question, I'm not sure this driver will do what you want. You to want to use the webcam with a Windows Mobile system. If however, you want to display the image through media player, this driver won't help. It doesn't support a proper Direct Show interface.
Microsoft has released a webcam driver (with source) that does support a Direct Show interface. It is written for CE 6, but could be recompiled for Win Mobile 5/6 since they support Direct Show capture drivers. The link for that driver is

I was very close to run it... I used webcam.dll from codeplex (version for arm) but it was compiled for win ce... I used registry key whiich was included to regiister hardware type. Wheen I connected camera it as usualy ask for drivver... but surprise here - it doesn't do this again as usualy, instead of this it show "error installing driver". Camera test is not exe becouse it like driver need to be compiled for windows mobile like driver. I am 100% sure that if driver, filter and cam test app will be compiled for windows mobile it will work fine.... but we need someone who will do it....
Shame that noone here can help us... developers...
What Happend
Wutsup ppl it seems no one is interested anymore in this, if anybody got progress or someone got compiled wm6,wm5 drivers plz share with us
I think nobody's interested because all our HTC devices have cameras in them already (and most new ones have 2). Why plug in another camera?
I need the same thing...
Industrial application with a USB camera hanging off a windows mobile device. Has anybody compiled this driver into windows mobile?
Thanks,
Linda
The project sounds interesting, but I don't think the ExtUSB in HTC devices support host mode. Plus, having a camera dangling from the only data/ power port on the device sounds like a waste.
What would be more interesting is to find a way to connect a web cam to a bluetooth device. My phone has a back camera, but I'd still love to buy a bluetooth camera to attach to the phone.
Hey there!
Okay, long story short:
I've got a Toshiba Intermec CN3 device (has USB Host controller) I would like to develop a driver for a USB scanner. Can anybody give me some tips on what needs to be done in order to achieve this?
The problem is that i can't get the Windows Mobile Platform Builder/Developer... because it's way to expensive.
I was thinking of trying to port the USB Scanner Support for Linux...
I know it might sound silly but i looked everywhere and i couldn't find something like this already done. Do you know of any similar drivers?
Thanks guys!
one dont require the platform builder to make or install a driver
for wm
a search for something like this could get you in the general direction of developing
devices drivers for windows mobile

The guy who started this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480899&highlight=zeno+usb - will probably have some answers or tips.
Thank you both for replying.
@Rudegar i don't think you've understood my question ... i don't want to develop a driver for windows XP/Vista that will support a WM device.... what I need is to write a driver to be installed ON a specific windows mobile device that is capable of USB Hosting.
So the way i see it, when you connect a scanner (for example) to the device, the device should then recognize the scanner make it possible for the user to scan documents (for example) directly from the device...
@aiiro i've already pm'ed the guy, hopefully he'll notice my message
Hello everyone,
i was wondering if anyone could give me any tips about how to communicate with android device through usb from c++ or java(i guess that won't work without JNI though). I was trying to google up some documentation on this matter but found nothing. I wanted to program something like 'nokia ovi' suit as my b.c. 'thesis'.
Thanks for reading this, Tomas Herman
Hi,
Did you found any info on this ?
Certainly should be possible since Sync applications are working ...
Daniel
Yes, this is possible but AFAIK only as a hack. You can install the USB driver for the SDK and use adb's port forwarding. See /code.google.com/p/android-notifier/ as an example. Obviously, not an elegant solution and definitely not for the general Android user.
Hey
I was wondering if there is anyone here tracking/developing for the android-X86 community.
www.android-x86.org
I have been able to boot Android-x86 on a few laptops but I would really like to run it on my Archos 9 Tablet full time, the only problem is that the touch screen and wifi don't work.
The hardware list on Android-X86 shows support for the Archos 9 but the above hardware still doesn't work even though they say it does.
There isn't a lot of support on the site and there discussion groups fail to provide any useful information.
If there is anyone here with more insight on this development please let me know.
Thanks again.
HI!!
Hi, I'm trying to run Androidx86 1.6 r2 on my Gateway netbook, but it was too slow and I wasn't enable to turn on the Wifi.
Haw can I load Android on a better performance??
And what OS are you using right now on your Archos 9? I'm looking for a better option than W7....
I'd like to do the same thing... But on my Acer 1420P tablet
Hello,
Is there any news concerning the touchscreen driver ?
hey guys I am interested in porting android on my archos too...please HELP!!!
I am making the port of the Motion M1400, I may be able to help. You have to create your own device tree (described on the page you linked, under "Add new target") Then you have to create the hw-specific stuff, defconfig for the kernel, add support drivers' flags, etc. Like, for my M1400, I had to add the BOARD_WACOMENABLED flag, as it has a WACOM input panel.
Who can tell me how this ipush linux device work?
today I got a news online:a iPush Wireless HDMI Adapter carried OS: Linux 3.0.8 works as a DLAN/airplay receiver for android OS/iOS devices.
Mod Edit: Link removed )
It’s a white small decive and size like USB. Support Wifi and multi language
Let’s think about what would happened when I use it for inf transmission.
1. After Connect them,my phone will appear on a linux user interface?
2. Can I use my mobile to control this user interface?
3. Should i download any app to achieve that?
my friendes talked about it for long time and without an answer.
Any thoughts?
