First at all thanx on all great things maded here. Hers is my first post on XDA I hope so that I am not going to miss subject or ask question allredy asked or be miss understud by my bad English.
Here is question
Is there a chance to my galaxy tab be usb host for usb keys and memory sticks.
So i can connet usb and use and copy files form there.
Something like it can Nokia N8 or other tablet devices from far east with android os.
Thanx in advanced

I seriously doubt it, mainly cause of my limited knowledge on hardware support in the android kernel I can't give a definite answer, but on the assumptions that usb host is a complete driver and maybe even hardware dependent (which I assume would be missing on the tab cause if not it would be a sales point and available already). So my view, 95% sure that it's 100% not even 30% likely that it's probable(ish)
Ice cream sandwich includes a USB host...your statistics may be flawed

All stats are flawed ! gingerbread supports near field comms, dont make a difference if you aint got the hardware
So i still think usb host protocol missing from usb controller on tab
So true. Maybe that is what that little USB connection kit accessory was for?

Doubt it, its just a convertor, to add usb host through the tab socket, it would kinda need host already samsung may add it in other versions of the 7 though. Not my p1000 me thinks

That´s true. It´s just a convertor.

Hi all mates. We all know that Android is linux based. So its possible to make this platform more powerful by making thus app for android. Its not all about hacking stuff. Its for learning purpose also. So i hope that someone also thought about that usefull utility. So lets talk about the ideas of porting Aircrack-ng to our loving android devices.
Cheers.

You should make sure if your wireless adapter supports promisc/monitor mode.
Yea even tho the m701 has atheros 6000 it can't ****, And its rf_mon btw.
Sent from my MID using XDA App
I tried Aircrack-ng on the HD2 via ubuntu port. Installed fine however monitor mode cant be started
That's more likely because we don't have the proper drivers to get into monitor mode, let alone promisc.
why not go ahead only with phones having otg ? connect a compatible card
Ok guys i have noticed one thing since the jelly-bean boot came thundering down apon us and we made the break within hours to get jelly b running for the thankf of dev's alike as randomblame and waydownsouth.
Have we stopped checking or official though? did a search and seems there may be offical jelly bean for us.!!!........
be it that we may have to wait until the next big android update is due to get it from our update-unreliable Acer lol.
just dont understand why the site says the a500 is only available in india......err im in london bought close by retail mofo.

Of their different tablets (100, 200, 700.. etc) only the 500 series is available in India. Not you can only buy it in India. Those are the only ones you can buy in India.
and good find. WDS is doing excellent work, and at worst, this would only drastically speed up his efforts.

i would say its pretty likely as the a500 is one of the acer flagship tablets :victory:
Will USB devices still be supported in JB (and future releases)? The number of tablets with USB ports is decreasing.

They should be. The new thing is USB OTG. That pretty means with the right adapter( Micro USB to full size USB) you can still do USB host( mice keyboards, thumb drives etc). On phones I think this is a good idea, but on tablets I think its a bad idea. The full saize port was one of the reasons I bought the A500.
i would think, so android supposed to be adding more and more applicable usb drivers to accept more usb "add-ons" it wouldnt make sense to start removing one of the best features of android, like Drewmungus says they will problably just change the format on new tabs for OTG, which in my opinion is bull****, i already have a full size to micro usb cable lol

Well, let's see... my Nexus 7 has a USB port. Jelly Bean came with the Nexus 7... so, I'd say... yes?
nice, I was thinking acer would just abandon it like many other companies that released newer upgraded versions
now I guess the only question is how long will it take to actually get the update...
I wasn't aware that the nexus 7 had a usb port on it, but I'm glad to hear it.
nexus 7 has a mini usb port (the same exact port used to connect the a500 to your comp) not a full size usb port if thats what you are referring too
Probably because a fullsize USB connector is almost as thick as an N7...

Is the micro usb port a hub or just a charging port on the nexus sorry for ot. Also are there any other jb a500 roms on the web anywhere besides wds's?
It's a full-on USB port, that also charges. AFAIK, you can use standard USB devices with a dongle adapter, and you can also plug in a USB hub, too.
Thats interesting to know thanks I may have to get one after all :laugh:
Ok, I have read the articles in regards to MHL not being supported on the Nexus 7. My question is if this is due to the hardware not supporting it or is it because the OS itself for the Nexus 7 does not include the modules needed to support MHL on the Nexus 7. Anyone have any idea?
Hardware issue I think. You can't have read well!

Well, its not that I didn't read well, but most articles just say it does not support MHL. There is no clear answer in what I have read that clearly states whether it is due to hardware or software. They say OTG is not supported, but installing stick mount on a rooted nexus 7 gets around that. What about MHL? Is it because a chip is missing from the Nexus 7 so that's why it is not supported? If so, would it be possible to create a module that connects to the mini-usb or the 4 pogo plugs to add this functionality? If not, could there be driver like stick mount that enables this functionality?
It's a great device, but it would be nice if it did support MHL somehow.
From what I understand anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software

From what I understand anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software but slower, however maybe the signal that needs to be sent from the micro usb is not present currently, so if someone who knows about the internals were to write something it should be possible, I think if you can emulate a whole pc why not a mhl signal?

Here it is! Stable release of ubuntu touch, here you can find brief summary about it.
link: www . omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/10/ubuntu-touch-ready-prime-time (erase spacebars)
As for me, it's a good system for phone, but it offers only basic features and couple of bugs I have aleready fund (nothing big). Assuming that it can be installed only by advanced nexus users....it does not seem to be a good deal. But I hope new updates will make it much better
s2 support?
does it support galaxy s2?or let me rephrase it, is this version of ubuntu you mentioned supports Galaxy S2 GT-I9100??

No, the official (and stable) versions are for Nexus devices only.
Look for a port in the S2 forums.
Now I can compile on the go! lol
Port to d2vzw..... Please!

What bugs did you find? I installed in on my nexus 4, but found it too basic for me and the data on wifi was kind of laggy.
I wasn't able to launch into desktop mode when connected to the slimport to hdmi adaptor.

Does Galaxy tab 4 t231 have USB otg support? If not, can it be enabled by any method? Planning to buy this tablet. Please answer.. Thank you for your time

Would really love to know this too. It's my understanding previous versions of the Galaxy Tab support USB OTG, and would love to enable it on the Tab 4.
On my smartphone I have an option in settings to turn OTG on and off, unfortunately no option seems to exist on my Tab4. Assuming the Tab 4 has hardware support for it, how would I go about enabling OTG?
Bump...
Would LOVE a solution as well~!:good:
Ran USB Diagnostics. As of now there is no support whatsoever but a custom ROM or Kernel may be able to enable it. I suppose there is a slight chance since the larger variants have OTG support and the hardware is similar.
Edit: Playing around with some OTG apps, it appears that we do not have hardware support so there's about 70-90% chance the tablet will purely not support it and trying to do so would be impossible.

I ran that same app on my Tab4 as well, unfortunately I wasn't able to understand everything the app told me so I concluded OTG support on the Tab4 was inconclusive =P
Considering OTG is supported on the other Galaxy Tab devices, what reasoning would Samsung have to not enable this feature on the Tab4 7.0? Especially if the hardware is the same (or very similar) it just doesn't make any sense to me why they wouldn't give the Tab4 7.0 OTG support as well. It's actually very frustrating in 2014 that this Tab doesn't support OTG. I am almost considering returning it solely for this reason (I haven't yet, because I'm very pleased with everything else the Tab4 has to offer).
My cheap, Chinese sub $100 android ICS tablet I bought last year had OTG support! What gives Samsung? I sort of expect more from a major brand like Samsung.

So, I may be wrong but I believe the problem may be in chip set itself, since its Marvell CPU (I never heard of this company). However, the Tab 3 also carried an older Marvell CPU, which they were able to overcome this problem with a custom Kernel. So, may be this tablet has slight chance of having OTG support but Scumbag Samsung decided that they don't the cheaper tablet to sell.

Well I'll certainly be holding out on that slight chance for OTG support lol. I was really looking forward to using my tab 4 as a second display with DSLR Controller, so you can imagine my disappointment when it didn't work =/
Either way, if a dev ends up seeing this and wants to implement this feature, let me know if I can do anything help (beta testing custom kernels) or whatever, just let me know. I'm more than willing to help move this forward, even if it ends up not working.
Hi, on my t235 otg works. For now i've tested it inly with usb storage sticks (8gb tdk, 8gb toshiba and 16gb verbatim) - stock file manager and total commander fully works with it. I dont have any mouse or keyboard to check that it works on otg.

HI Osiris, do you got OTG work with Tab4? i'm in a similar situation with a Canon 70D & DSLR Controller...
In the page of DSLRController is a list to compatibility & models
best regards
i am willing to test the otg kernel i have a cable and a few different usb devices i would like to use with my wifi only
unit
I was curious if my Tab 4 has usb otg support. Turns out it did, even tho those usb otg checker apps said it didn't. I was able to open up the stuf on my usb stick. My model is SM-T330NU and i'm on 4.4.2
Also, it also supports external dac (Tested with Fiio E17) and it works with spotfiy. I'm starting to like this tablet even more .
I would like to buy this cable in order to use my Tab 4 to charge my Nexus 4. (Only need this on the road charging done when I'm on vacation, which is every 2-3 years, making buying a battery bank not worth it)
Would this cable work fine?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Micro-USB-Ma...323059?hash=item419dbd9ab3:g:h94AAOSwuWVWE0V1
Please note my main objective is not accessing USB keys or HDD's, but purely use the cable to charge my phone. Accessing a USB media storage would be a bonus.

Hi is that a 7" or an 8"? The 8 has otg but my 7 doesn't as standard. If it's a 7" how did you get it to work? Would LOVE to get OTG working on my tab4 7" as it's literally the only reason I bought it and didn't realise and (wrongly) assumed) it would have it.
