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)
Thanks for your Time

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) !
excuse me for my bad english

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?

No, sorry.
Have you looked at the raspberry pi and android transporter? If you are willing to root an use their ROM, it should do good enough to mirror your screen to tv

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?

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.

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?

The ones from HTC should have similar USB 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.

Awesome. -- Does this allow the N1 to take a charge via USB while you're using it in USB OTG/Host mode?

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!

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.

Even if you get the disc reading in Android, what are you going to play the movies with? I don't know of any DVD playback software for Android, though if there is something that can do it, please direct me!

So have you actually managed to see the drive? I connected mine and it doesn't show.
I think a generic driver from linux must be ported.

Hi all,
First , i'm french , so my english is maybe bad at moment...
So , i see that with the cyanogen mod , we can use wiimotecontroller to pair Wiimote with SGS2. but with touchwizz it's impossible (i'm with revolution rom..)
Someone try to take "bluetooth" files of cyano (with permissions of course) to try it on touchwizz ? or all the system block it ? thanks ..
Blue.
I wish this would happen too, but I don't think it will anytime soon.
And why would someone want to use wiimote with am android device. Could you give practical examples? I have a wii but I dont know what to do with the remote on my android
Sent from my U20i using XDA Premium App
Emulators. They play amazingly on the SGS2!
Can you imagine having everything on your phone, your favourite classic games, and you are just bored waiting around for a flight for example? Can just take out the SGS2 and Wiimote to kill some time, perfect.
Or if you have an MHL cable, hook it up for TV, and play. Better than packing up a whole console to take around with you (for example to a friends place) than having everything almost perfectly playable on your SGS2.
jpxdude +10 ! i play to Secret of mana (a old game i have on Snes) and with a wiimote , i can have a better gaming experience
Once one of the AOSP roms is ready you'll be able to link up ps3 or wiimotes to your hearts content. Not long now... Could always load the tw launcher in if you really miss it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The issue isn't Touchwiz but the bluetooth stack which Samsung (and HTC) use doesn't support the method of pairing to the Wiimotes, where as the Cyanogen which is based on AOSP does.
The only option would be to flash an AOSP based rom.
This will be genial... Im waiting a stable pt br rom with this function

Yeah, instead of the Sixaxis use the Wiimote. But I doubt that, because of the different Bluetooth protocol?

Arf , i don't really like cyanogen or any AOSP rom .. i want to keep my Revolution roms :'( , there is no solution to changes files in systems ?
cyanogenmod doesn't have bluetooth support of any kind yet, so we'll just have to wait.

How did you do it?
Why not just use said emulators on a PC that has a Bluetooth card installed? It would make more sense. I'd rather not use a controller on a device that I need to play close to my face to read the text designed to be viewed on a much, much larger display.

Lol wow indeed, I never said "just for emulators" but nevertheless, if we can have a better experience with the phone (specially for gaming) then why not?
Disadvantage of using an AOSP ROM is no TV-out with MHL support.
FYI, SixAxis Controller works on stock based ROMs. I am on stock XXKI3, and it works... so you can use this in conjunction with MHL out to use ps3 controller (tested; only works with original Sony ps3 controller - knock-off I tried does NOT work) and pipe video out to TV using MHL.
@ctomgee
did u try it out on sgs2?
i heard that sixaxis does not work on sgs2

So you want to see the game you're playing on your phone from your PC? Just use a MicroUSB -> HDMI adapter and link it directly to an HDMI monitor, it will work better!
Or maybe I didn't get what you need?
You won't find anything hat isn't sluggish, but try MyMobiler. It used to be pretty good on WM, but I haven't tried the Android version.

What you desire is not going to happen on your laptop, unless you fork out a whole lot of money for hardware to give you HDMI input.
