I read in past threads that it used to be a stand alone USB host activator application and eventually got integrated into CM7. I think I have nightly build 230 and USB function doesn't work at all. Furthermore I've been thought all the settings and don't see anything about USB host, only USB debugging?
There is no more nook tweaks anymore.. I re-downlaoded that and there's still no "USB host" option I can find to activate. All I want to do is connect a keyboard to the nook.
Any help on this (seemingly should-be) answer on where to find to activate it?
I've tried both a Belkin 7-port hub powered and unpowdered with no success.
Dal's app is still in the market....

I have a nook color hacked running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-encore, Android version 2.3.7, kernel version 2.6.32.9.
I bought the Logitech tablet Keyboard for Android 3.0+ about a month ago. I got it to work fine then.
Took it out this morning and it connects fine - I see the "connected to hid device" on the bluetooth settings screen and the bluetooth light on the keyboard is on like it should be. Then after about 10 seconds, the bluetooth light on the keyboard goes out and it won't work. I tried changing the batteries in the keyboard, doesn't affect it. (tested old batteries with a tester, they were fine)
Any ideas? Please keep your answer simple, I'm new to the mobile device world!

The bluetooth light should be off after connection during normal operation. Try turning the keyboard off and then on and press the connect button.
I find that pressing the menu button is the easist way to quickly see if the keyboard is connected.
I've got a Nook Color running CM10 nightly 12/5. Everything else has been working fantastically but I can't seem to connect the Apple Wireless Keyboard (2 AA batteries version).
The NC sees the Apple keyboard and I attempt to pair. This pops up a dialog to type into the Apple keyboard a random 4 digit PIN then press return. I follow the instructions and it "says" they're paired but I can't type with the Apple keyboard. I tried checking the settings and the Apple keyboard is set to "input device." I tried download BlueKeyboard JP to help configure this all, but no go there either.
Searching around a few people refer to typing the same PIN back with the Nook, but I don't know where and how you're supposed to do that...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using cm7 and a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard, but the process should be the same.
You mention entering a pin onto the nook, but do you also type the pin into the keyboard and hit enter/return?
Also after switching my keyboard back to the nook, from my laptop, I find telling the nook to forget the device before coneicting really helps. If someone knows of a way of not doing this, I would love to know.

Been setting up my ShieldTV (2017) - and sideloaded YouTubeTV App and Chrome. Need an external keyboard for them to work and tried the Logitech K400+.
I've added the USB Dongle, and had the keyboard inches away - nothing. Powered off, rebooted, nothing.
Checked all the settings - don't see anything related to external keyboard. All I was able to do was select the AOSP keyboard.
Is it the keyboard or is there just something basic I'm missing?
i have and use the k400 model and it works out of the box even on latest stock 5.1.
No need to setup anything.
Check your batteries and make sure you turn it on (the switch is on top right of the kb). Last but not least check the usb receiver is the correct (also in case of various devices of same brand) and says Logitech.
If no go then it could be defective. Try it in a PC or laptop. Btw for better performance i use a single usb 2.0 port extender but works fine in a 4 port usb 3.0 i have, however mileage may vary as in many cases usb 3.0 ports can cause issues, in this case interference.

check your apps too or try a factory reset as last resort.

are you in stock nougat or full android?
usually in the latter you gotta do a trick to enable second usb port host mode as by default work for ADB/Debug only
If you have USB debugging on try turning off.

Im fully stock. In that case does the shield tv only support 1 USB port? Wouldn't make any sense.

no, both work but one works for debugging too as Nvidia removed the mini usb otg port.
As i said if you have developers mode enabled and usb debugging try disabling it and reboot.

Well - this is just silly - I don't know how to update the thread title... and to change it to be more descriptive.?
Hey, regarding this issue. USB debugging probably wasn't the cause.
But by enabling and disabling you did fix the cause, because there are two instances that need the second USB port. One is for debugging and the second is for the device to be seen as an external device when you use that USB port to connect it to the computer (in short, MTP protocol for filesharing).
Probably in the Storage settings you turned on the USB toggle for file access. By enabling developer mode and enabling USB debugging, the toggle was automatically turned off once you disabled that.
Or maybe the setting was toggled when you tried to setup the plex server. Not sure what actions trigger that, but now you know the real cause.
If you haven't enabled developer settings, USB debugging won't be turned on by itself. Especially not when the device is practically new and you haven't done anything to it.
So keep this in mind, either using debugging or making your internal storage available over USB will disable that USB port for other devices.

Thanks for providing this insight. Makes total sense as i couldn't understand how that port became unusable for the wireless dongle
My (proprietary radio) USB wireless keyboard stopped typing, though it indicated it was paired to its USB dongle. I tried to pair a Bluetooth keyboard to the Shield TV too, and while it would pair (and accept the passcode typed on the keyboard), it would fail at "connecting" and not work. I tried toggling developer mode, USB debugging, even USB type from Automatic to Compatible and back, no joy.
Then I restarted the Shield TV. It seemed to shut down but didn't start back up - black screen. I power cycled it. When it came back up I was able to pair the Bluetooth keyboard, connect and type, and pair the (proprietary radio) USB wireless keyboard.
Hey,
I have an MX10 Pro TV box with the latest android 9. I wanted to turn it into an Interenet and office home computer so I connected it to a screen and Lenovo external keyboard and mouse, and downloaded proper app.
At first everything was fine - mouse and keyboard worked, and than I disscovered the famous 'enter' key problem. I've tryied to solve it based on google: Installed external keyboard helper - didn't work well. I have changed key 28 from DPAD_CENTER to ENTER in generic.kl file - and since that my keyboard is dead.
The TV BOX don't Identify external physical keyboard is connected. I've Reset the box, changed the file back and reset it again - but nothing - the keyboard is dead. I can't turn on caps lock light or num lock light, the keyboard is dead and doesn't identified.
I've tried every USB port. I connected it to another computer to see its alive (it is...), I've connected the mouse to every USB port - it works. I've tried every USB option under developer tab - nothing changed.
I'm completly lost! not only I didn't solve the Enter key problem, my home computer seems completly broken.
PLEASE HELP!
