So my screen cracked. The digitizer is all but completely useless, but the lcd screen is in tact. I've bought a new N7 already but I need to know if there's a way to recover things like pictures and saved files from it when I can't enable data transfer from the tablet. I do not have usb debugging enabled, it's bone stock with no flashes or roms or anything fancy like that. Is there anything i can do short of replacing the screen assembly?
inb4 noob
inb4 get a case next time
any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

Get a USB otg cable and a USB mouse. Plug it into the tablet and then enable the USB debugging/auto mount mtd if possible. Then mount the mtd to your PC and copy the lot? If that fails use a mouse with a USB 4 hub, and a pen drive/ hard drive and try copy it all to that.

+1 for the USB mouse w/ OTG cable.
I suppose with a mouse you can do anything that you would be able to do with a finger and a digitizer, maybe with the exception of multi-touch.
I'm not sure about the hub business, though - I looked around on the Internet, and I see a mixed bag of reports. But I would think that a JellyBean Nexus would be one of the Android devices most likely to succeed.
If the hub idea doesn't work, there's always the idea of using the mouse and transferring files to a network share on your home network, sending them to dropbox, zipping them up and sending them to a ftp server, yadda yadda yadda.
If it's a rooted device and you have adb working with a custom recovery, then
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/
(note trailing slash, it seems to be important)
will recursively copy EVERYTHING from the /sdcard to your PC, or the MTP trick with the regular OS might work too. Make sure you have enough room and enough time!
Heck, "adb pull /sdcard/" might even work with the regular OS booted - but it could be clumsy if you are running 4.2.2 because of the "improved adb security". (Plug to PC & start adb ; wait for security pop up to happen; unplug PC, plug in mouse, click on dialog, unplug mouse, re-plug PC, try adb again?) Good thing the custom recoveries don't have all that fancy security!
Well, anyway, that's a couple of different suggestions.
good luck
I've found that hubs work well for me, but i didn't stay stock for long. So it may be the custom roms, but i think stock should work too

Powered or unpowered hubs?
You are using a "normal" OTG cable, and not one of those odd "Y" cable usage scenarios, is that right?
I have an old USB 1.0 unpowered hub laying around here somewhere. I should give it a roll - it should be plenty fast enough for a mouse and a keyboard

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?

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.

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.

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!

I think you can just replace CM7 kernel with my CM7 kernel release. According to one of the people who tested it, it worked fine for him. I'm not sure though since I'm not inclined to use it. I'm one of the few people who like the carousel.

wait the new cm7 kernel release
A bit of bad news. I tried enabling the OHCI and EHCI options but couldn't get it to work or rather, whenever I enabled them, the display won't start. All it displays is a blank screen. There's even no backlight turned on. I'll have to investigate this later.
On the bright side though, mass storage is enabled now. Have no way to test this though so I'll just get it out there later.
Hey, any new updates on this?
Anything I could do to help?
KF community would win a lot with OTG working.
I had a crazy idea that would depend on this. I have a spare webcam from my HP DV2880 and as it's pretty small, and usb, with otg working, I think that would be possible to try to make it work as the camera device. It probably draws very little power and with proper modules could work.
I'm willing to spend some time to try as soon as otg is ready!

Hello all!
So I am getting the Note on Tuesday or so and this is a list of things I will be getting with it.
#1 Blue Galaxy Note (of course)
#2 2 cases
#3 2 anker batteries
#4 charging dock
#5 screen protector
#6 SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable
#7 EXPANSYS MHL microUSB to HDMI Adapter
#8 HDMI Cable 2M
# 9 RII Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard
And I think that is it for now. I will be using a PS3 controller for gaming and the mini keyboard would be nice to use also with my HTPC.
Then on the software side, it is currently running CM9.
From what I have read flashing from recovery with CM9 is no problem...correct? Or do I still want to use Odin, etc?
I just hope my emulators are all working
And I hope Netflix TV out also works as it never worked with my Captivate. I could do others but not Netflix.
Any recommendations or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks!
Maybe you want to get a longer micro usb cable. The one that comes with the Note is awfully short.
Good one. That indeed is something I did with my Captivate. Is this a normal usb I can get locally ?
And from whom you will get all this? Nice package btw...

Looks like I made a stupid move by asking the other user to flash CM9 because I just read the CM9 log:
Speakerphone is a bit broken
USB OTG doesn't work
MHL doesn't work
So two cables I wont be able to use right away.
I guess its time to start reading up on what I can use to get those working.

What you need is a cable usb type a (ordinary usb plug) - micro usb. You can get any such cable, it's not necessary that the cable meets any specific requirements.

Hey guys,
I've been using "Timur's USB ROM" on my Nexus 7 which has been mounted on our kitchen wall and has been serving us greatly as a Spotify and DLNA player. The only downside is not having Spotify Connect functionality and I attribute that to the Android version (4.2.2). Spotify Connect works just fine if I install a lollipop rom, but then I don't know how to get OTG + USB so I can keep it charged while hooked up to a USB DAC using a Y cable.
Any ROMs or kernels out there that fit the bill?
I understand the already dreadful performance will suffer even more, but really, the only thing the tablet is doing is running Spotify and BubbleUPNP and nothing else.
I have Pure Nexus ROM+Parrot Mod installed on N7 (see under Nexus 7 Android Development). Nexus 7 is supplying the correct voltage to USB slot so OTG adaptor is working as expected. I have this cheap one from eBay and it does the job. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/331817051572?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Thanks for that. Excited to give it a go. If it wasn't 1am on a Monday morning, I'd do it right now!
I've downloaded all the parts (rom, kernel, gapps) though, so hopefully this will be it.
Appreciate the help.
Bummer. Didn't work.
The tablet will charge (although no visual indication that it is charging) but no way to get USB audio output.
I'm using one of these.
Any other kernel out there to give the old 2012 USB + power?
Try DC kernel. My set up is working OK. You also need to mount USB stick manually. I use Stick Mount app

Have you tested it with a USB DAC for audio out? So your N7 is charging and also outputting audio via USB?
Try this CM10.1 ROM with modified kernel, claims to support DAC device. http://mehrvarz.github.io/nexus-7-usbrom/

That's the one I already have and USB + power work as advertised. However, it's on Jelly Bean, so Spotify Connect doesn't work. I need the same functionality on a Lollipop+ rom.
So far looks like it doesn't exist. I can't seem to convince my wife to give up her 2013 and swap it with the 2012 either.
