USB Drives, keyboard, camera, external monitor?
Is there instructions of how to setup, or just someone saying what the pre-req's were and a video showing that it works? Not ready for prime-time?

If you have any specific question, don't hesitate to ask me so I can add it to the web page.

I would recommend changing the youtube embed to a normal size. I did not even notice the links at the bottom, plus it was too wide for my browser window. If someone wants to watch it fullscreen they can do it themselves.

The embed button on the YouTube site switches automatically to this size when enabling the HD checkbox.

I rearranged it.
That's better. I'll just have to get a bigger monitor then
Other than my initial I don't have much else to say other than this is very cool and promising too.
Great work.

Nice job, sonic74!
I ordered the OTG cables that you linked. (You should get commission). Which USB to VGA adapter did you use? -- Also, going to hunt down a USB to Ethernet adapter to play with and try.
Cheers,
Kermee
I saw in the hardware list, you have a "USB Dual Power Cable" listed as one of the items. Does that go between the powered USB hub and the USB OTG cable?

Kermee

It's a Lenovo 45K5296.
It's DisplayLink DL-195 based and so can do 2048x1536 over DVI. If you don't need that high a resolution, there are cheaper options. Or small USB monitors.
Yeah I'm confused on the "USB Dual Power Cable" and what exactly that is also. If you can a rough step by step on how you got it working could go along way as well.
I actually posted on reddit asking if I could link your post here.. must've missed it the first time quickly scanning. Congrats on figuring this out by the way.

hi,
do you expect this to work for other phones as well?? like the motorola milestone once we can modify the kernel? Or is it very specific to the nexus one hardware?

Yes, the Droid/Milestone is TI OMAP based. The first linux OTG/host support came from TI for this SoC. It is even in the mainline tree I think.

Ah. Nice! Thanks for the clarification!
I was thinking of picking up a cheap StarTech USB2VGA off eBay for $30 USD. Since it works in an NSLU2, I'm assuming it should work too on the N1.
BTW- I have that exact same ASUS WL-500G Premium... It's a blast to hack!
Thanks again!
Cheers,

Sonic74, you've used a self-powered USB Hub. Is it possible to use less-intensive devices like USB Keyboard and Mouse without requiring it to be powered? Or is it a must to even work?
It's also a little confusing the binaries you've put up on your site atmo, since I presume some relate only to running X11 (ConnectBot etc) and others are for simpler things such as the keyboards? Can you make it clearer on the distinction of what's required to do what? Huge thanks.
Lastly, thanks for opening the world's eyes to the amazing possibilities with Android. The dawning that these are more than just phones, they are mobile computer devices that can be converted into gaming consoles or presentation devices or printers or scanners etc. is pretty epic
Interesting...now only if there was an Android driver for my USB FM radio I could get FM on my N1!

Is there any way to use the Epic as a mini monitor? I'm assuming not but I figured I'd ask anyways. Would it be possible at all?
That's actually a very good idea but I don't think its possible.
epic
No HDMI in for the simple reason that there is no hardware support.

Doesn't really make any sense since our resolution is so low the HDMI input video would look horrible. Also, considering we can't even get the standard video out to work I seriously doubt the reverse is going to work.
Not wired, but there's this app: http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=idisplay&platform=android
Theres another that I can't find right now (magic something I think). Both are based on VNC mirror display drivers, do you need a pc, a server app for the pc and the client software for your andoid.
Good luck.

can it enable in cm7 kindle fire kernel too?
or i can just replace cm7 kernel??

I think you can just replace CM7 kernel with my CM7 kernel release. According to one of the people who tested it, it worked fine for him. I'm not sure though since I'm not inclined to use it. I'm one of the few people who like the carousel.

great
wait the new cm7 kernel release
A bit of bad news. I tried enabling the OHCI and EHCI options but couldn't get it to work or rather, whenever I enabled them, the display won't start. All it displays is a blank screen. There's even no backlight turned on. I'll have to investigate this later.
On the bright side though, mass storage is enabled now. Have no way to test this though so I'll just get it out there later.
Hey, any new updates on this?
Anything I could do to help?
KF community would win a lot with OTG working.
I had a crazy idea that would depend on this. I have a spare webcam from my HP DV2880 and as it's pretty small, and usb, with otg working, I think that would be possible to try to make it work as the camera device. It probably draws very little power and with proper modules could work.
I'm willing to spend some time to try as soon as otg is ready!

I'll take a crack on it this weekend. I've been too tired to solder the needed USB cable after work.
O man....the kindle fire just gets better and better!
This would be beyond amazing for me, as the space on this device is such a limiting factor. Allow me to connect my USB drives and I'll be more than happy!

I would be especially interested in getting DSLR Controller to work on the kindle. Would look really great on top of a video rig!
If USB host mode gets enabled, would it be possible to use a Bluetooth dongle with KF or would it require additional development?
Hello all!
So I am getting the Note on Tuesday or so and this is a list of things I will be getting with it.
#1 Blue Galaxy Note (of course)
#2 2 cases
#3 2 anker batteries
#4 charging dock
#5 screen protector
#6 SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable
#7 EXPANSYS MHL microUSB to HDMI Adapter
#8 HDMI Cable 2M
# 9 RII Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard
And I think that is it for now. I will be using a PS3 controller for gaming and the mini keyboard would be nice to use also with my HTPC.
Then on the software side, it is currently running CM9.
From what I have read flashing from recovery with CM9 is no problem...correct? Or do I still want to use Odin, etc?
I just hope my emulators are all working
And I hope Netflix TV out also works as it never worked with my Captivate. I could do others but not Netflix.
Any recommendations or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks!
Maybe you want to get a longer micro usb cable. The one that comes with the Note is awfully short.
Good one. That indeed is something I did with my Captivate. Is this a normal usb I can get locally ?
And from whom you will get all this? Nice package btw...

Some of it came with the phone from the original owner the rest I am getting from different places. Just wanting to get the full experience right away
Looks like I made a stupid move by asking the other user to flash CM9 because I just read the CM9 log:
Speakerphone is a bit broken
USB OTG doesn't work
MHL doesn't work
So two cables I wont be able to use right away.
I guess its time to start reading up on what I can use to get those working.

What you need is a cable usb type a (ordinary usb plug) - micro usb. You can get any such cable, it's not necessary that the cable meets any specific requirements.

correct me if i wrong, the device dosent have otg support because the usb port cant produce enough voltage to turn on external devices. this external sd card reader is also a external battery so it has the voltage to turn itself on soshouldnt it work?

Is there anyway to hook up the nexus 7 to an external monitor. (DVI, HDMI, VGA)
is there a piece of hardware that I could buy if not? (To make it work with the previously mentioned connections)

I'm sorry but there isn't any way to use our n7 on tv/monitor through cable.
If you want you had to use dlna (and install a app on your n7) !

Bubbleupnp works great. Also imediashare. I use bubbleupnp daily to stream video from my n7 to my xbox360
Press thanks if I helped ~ Nexus7/ParanoidAndroid/FrancoKernel
Honestly I was hoping to do more than just stream, I'd like to be able to (Somehow) hook it up to a monitor, get a bt keyboard and mouse attached and use it as a computer.
(I truthfully doubt dlna can do that, but if it can i'll buy an adaptor for my monitor, and we'll be in business)
So, you want some kind of mirroring?
Sorry but this is impossible for the n7!
Yes. That is What I would like.
Is there any external buyable hardware that can make this possible?
