I have searched on the Internet and there are mixed answers about whether or not ADK works on the a500. The only definitive answers is that the acer engineers were working on in last August, Since then has anyone gotten it to work?

Hi there,
I have Archos 101 with Android 2.2 and physical USB keyboard, which can be connected through USB port. My problem is that I can't switch on Russian layout using this keyboard, only English is available.
Is there any way to write in Russian using USB keyboard?
Nobody know?
Same Problem here, sorry I don't know the solution either.
However this neighbouring subforum "Archos Gen8 Android Development"
seems a better place to start:

Looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10156947
it seems people are already able to build custom kernels,
and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871391
seems to indicate that someone is already more than 50% finished getting a DVB-T USB-Stick to work on the Archos 101.
In comparison, getting additional external keyboard layouts to work should not be a high-flying dream. To be honest, I think Archos theirselves should fix this, and soon; after all their devices are sold on different international markets and they did adapt the on-screen keyboard. This is just an annoying omission on Archos' part.
On the other hand, realistically we might see results by do-it-yourself sooner...
Perhaps somebody active in the above threads already knows the details of the Android architecture (and the extensions Archos did - few Android devices have a USB host port!) well enough to point us in the right direction?
Best regards, Thilo
I'm looking for a solution to this problem in Flytouch3
I have not tried it yet, but the problem seems to be the same for all Android-based devices. Particularly I'm interested in bilingual Cyr/Lat USB-keyboard for Chinese Flytouch3/SuiperpadII.
I have found the following link (in Russian), seems it should solve the problem:

has anyone managed toget your 3 usbdongle working with your tf101?
currently, none of these USB 3G dongles work on the Transformer because they need drivers to work, but I guess it will be soon before someone figures out a workaround.
Best thing to do now is to get a MiFi device (D-Link & Huawei) has it. But costs a bomb about S$170 for D-link and $200+ for the Huawei one. FYI, this MiFi device is actually a mobile wireless router where you need your Data Simcard to be inserted into the device and it can be shared with other users (like a normal wireless router).
i hve the mifi device given by starhub.. but i heard that someone managed to get tbe 3g usb dongle to work on the xoom so iwas hopingit would work on the tranzformer
so anyone managed to find the link for the xoom app to make the dongle work

The best place to ask this question would be in the Xoom forums.

Someones taken the work that was done to get Huawei USB dongles working on the Folio 100 and ported it to the Acer A500.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118639
I've tried these changes on my Transformer but I've been unable to get it working though I'm unsure if that's because the Wifi Transformer kernel doesn't contain the necessary bits or if I just haven't worked out what needs to go into the build.prop file.
I'm hoping (if no-one's cracked it before then) that the upcoming release of the 3G Transformer will add more pieces to puzzle.

But on the eepad does it necessarily require to connect to the docking station or is it possible to connect in some way directly to the tablet?
Ciao
The custom port on the bottom of the transformer is (amongst other things) a USB port and people have had success using a Female to Female USB adaptor to plug devices into the USB cable ASUS supply.
Asus are also supposed to be releasing an official adaptor to allow connection of devices without needing to go via the cable.
The problem isn't really connecting the USB modem it's working out what modules and drivers and possibly kernel changes are needed to get the Transformer to recognise the modem.
im hoping someone can get it to work..
It looks like we need specific Kernel Modules for the Transformer to have any luck of getting this to work which will requires skills far beyond mine so I think for the moment we have to hope that one of the Transformer ROM devs decides this is work doing.
I'll happily put up a bounty of $30 for whoever can get 3G modems working properly on the transformer
+1
3G dongle needed
if a dev can do this for us.

I have the A500 wifi only and i have been reading around and seeing alot of people mentioning a 3g usb dongle. I was just curious of how they work and if you need to have a plan with them i know this seems like a noob question but i just dont understand how they work.......
I believe you need a rom installed that supports it and then should be plug and play... You'll find them in the dev section...
As I have the A501 this is a moot point for me...

I am looking into this but I am not a coder.... I do service on moving heads (lamps) and they have a web server built in for diagnostics. I would love to just use my tablet to connect directly to them.
My adapter is an Asix AX88772B. It worked before on my china tablet on 3.2. but after I did an ICS upgrade on it, it stopped working.But that tablet sucked in all possible ways !

This is done on the EEPad. Can this be done on the Galaxy series?

Hello people. I have a question regarding connecting a usb dongle to a tablet. I'm not a developer and I'm not a hardware expert either so easy with the terms. :laugh:
I saw a thread where Bhaskar1109 explained how to connect a dongle to any Android tablet but it required root access and that's not something that everyone can manage.
So the question is; is it possible to set up a specific dongle model in cooperation with a specifically designed Android app to get it working without any fuss?
I would really appreciate your replies.
Thanks,
Rob
It may depend on your tablet. I've got a tab 2 and I can just plug the dongle in and go.
