Can I connect a USB to my dhd
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
Hi, I think that since dhd doesn't have usb host, you can't plug anything except power source.
But I don't know a lot about usb protocols and maybe there is a driver developped by the community to enable the host mode.
I listen I must install a kernel for this work

Someone was working on that a long time back but that project went dead. Its kernel level stuff, so possible but not easy to do.

Does anyone know if I can plug a cable into usb port on my phone that goes to hdmi on a tv and if it will work to play netflix with audio and video?

No. You can only dlna through wifi.
Dang, I had some high hopes. Thanx for the answer!

To use USB to HDMI, you have to have a special cable, and the phone has to be HW-compliant. The protocol standard is called MHL.
Not our case.
The other option is to have a converter with SW packing on the phone and HW unpacking on the adapter. None available for phones, AFAIK, and these packers consume quite some processing power.
There are apps to use phone as wireless keyboard if you plug pc to tv if that helps

Huh? He op asked about USB to HDMI. Not USB wireless keyboard.
Lol my dream was shattered and your talking about a usb keyboard!? I hate that my friends ****ty droid x has a small hdmi plug but this awesome phone has nothing of the sort.

I was saying to watch netflix and stuff. You can control pc threw phone and use tv as monitor.

Hi,
I'd like to use my Nexus 7 as a Wlan Stick for my Desktop PC. Is this possible?
I am running the CM night lies.
Thanks a lot.
Probably but can't you just plug in a wifi adapter to your Desktop instead?

Sure I could. But I don't have one
Like the title says, would there be any chance to get digital audio out of the phone, so that you could connect an external digital to analog audio converter to the usb?
I'm just curious...

Anyone?

It may be possible with blefish CM 10.1 since it will come with OTG functionality activated in his 3.4 kernel.

True. There already seems to be support added in the audio HAL for USB accessory aswell, but it's not tested.
Whoa! Nice...
Hopefully it will work, so that I could use the phone as a HQ audio source.

Would I need an otg cable (=pins4 and 5 shorted) to connect the USB audio device or would it work with a regular cable? I do need an otg cable for keyboard/mouse, right?

While I would like to add full OTG so it would detect whether it should act as host or peripheral automatically, there will still be manual toggle mode for it. You'd need a male->female switch though, as you can't connect it otherwise.
But does the male -> female adapter have to short circuit the 4th and 5th pin (Known as an otg cable) OR does a regular adapter work?
I'm about to purchase one, so I need to know it.
Besides that, thanks a lot for being (the only?) developer putting effort in this issue!:thumbup:

Edit. Oh, does the 4./5. Pin shorting only make the device detect the host/peripheral thing automatically? So it would work with a regular cable, if you'd turn it on manually?
Morning all, Only got my nexus a month ago after being die hard Blackberry for a number of years, due to being usless with touch screens.
I work as an engineer in the printing industry and would love to be able to interact with our machines via USB.
We can use comands called "prescribe" on our machines, they will understand said comands if sent in a .txt file.
I have busy box, im all rooted. also have manny linux tools installed.
So I am looking for a command to ether send my .txt files from my phone via USB.
If I could enter sytax direct into terminal and then use a command to send as a .txt would be even better.
Any help would be much appreciated !
Shameless bump

you would need the usb OTG kernel and an external power adapter for the otg cable. If you have that I'm sure your linux magic tricks would make it work
The Nexus 4 doesn't support USB OTG (or any other Host Mode) as I understand.

It does. You need to supply the power yourself externally and a custom kernel.

I have a nexus 7 WiFi 16 gig refurbished from wallmart. Using for a car install, tried 3 different otg cables confirmed working on n7 2013 and made my own cable with external power and no go. Host mode will not trigger. No mouse, USB ,SD........ I get no notification that host mode is entered. Tried USB ROM, vanir, cm11, bs harmony, stock, every kernel. Still get nothing. Any ideas? Have power and volume soldered to some momentary switches. Any ideas I was thinking of trying to trigger host by shorting the pins on the tablet itself! Bad idea? All connections in the tablet look good.I am at a loss. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
Download stickmount.

What you are looking for is a kernel that provides simultaneous otg/host mode charging. Unfortunately, if you are running a rom newer than 4.2.2, you cant get it. All kernels that gave this capability were based on the work by Timur. He left that scene and never brought the hack to 4.3 +. If you install a 4.2.2 rom, you can still do it. If you google "Timur kernel" it will take you to his rootzwiki thread. He has a standalone kernel, or an entire rom dedicated to your very situation. Most people on the thread are car install users. Tons of great info there.
To the reply above me, the op is referring to being able to mount otg and charge at the same time, so stickmount would do no good.

Isn't this a stock feature? My N7 in stock 4.4.2 has no OTG problems whatsoever, and provides energy without problrms.
No, not a stock feature. Exactly how are you charging and mounting otg simultaneously, cable wise?

I use a generic OTG cable i got for like 5 bucks (it doesn't supply any kind of power). Mouse, gamepad and keyboards works as soon as i connect them. For drives and SD cards, i use Nexus Media Importer. All in stock ROM and kernel (4.4.2), without using root.
The op is referring to charging the N7, and connecting otg devices at the same time. The reason his otg is not working is because he connected the charging circuit first, which blocks host mode (otg functionality) from registering. The same happens if otg is hooked first, charging will not occur. It takes a kernel with those certain abilities to use otg and charge the n7 at the same time (host mode charging). Likewise, it takes a special cord, which has either 2 male usb and one female, or 1 micro usb, 1 male usb, and 1 female usb. Everything you need to know about this is here http://mehrvarz.github.io/usb-host-mode-power-management-nexus7/

tried it all
I have tried usb rom and stick mount,and nexus medis importer ect...... my problem is no usb host at all. not even a usb mouse. i have tried diffrent roms and kernels. i think maybe a hardware problem. i made my own usb host cable it works with my n7 2013 note 3 , but not my 2012 n7. nothing does. i also bought a few cables from amazon, no go. the tablet doesnt enter host mode. i tried usb diagostic app from chainfire. support is the for host in the kenels but host mode will not trigger.. just tring to see if anyone had similar issue and found a fix.. thanks for the suggestions.. kang-aroo kernel has timurs patches synced for 4.4.2 so does bricked and m kernel. OTG and charging IS NOT my issue, its no host at all. tablet will not recognize anything i plug in with external power or without....
As i thought the tablet was defective,recieved my new one no problems with usb host......
Awesome, glad you got it replaced. I use usb host mode charging, so I know how valuable it is. But, I am glad you posted your issue, because I was unaware of the existance of the kang-aroo kernel till you mentioned it. Running it on all 4 roms on my N7, and really happy with it.

Kangaroo is a great kernel , try oxydo has the same features but it also has doubletap2wake and s2w it's not enabled by default but trickster mod will turn it on or by editing a few files in the sys folder.In the kangaroo thread there is a manager app like USB rom has for a car install. Works on both kernels. Are you using multirom. I haven't tried it yet. Any issues?
Been using multirom since it was released over a year ago, and never had an issue. I cant imagine my N7 without it.
