Good day everyone.
I've searched the site for any posts made about this subject but couldn't find any...so here it goes.
I've been using my Tab 2 for a while as a way to 'stream' the pictures I make with my Canon-camera to the display. Tethering as you may call it. I use a USB cable...not WiFi
The app I use is RYC Lite on a official Android 4.0.3 rom.
Since I upgraded the Tab to the official Android 4.1.2 rom it doesn't work anymore. I tried other apps but they won't recognize my camera.
When I connect the camera to the tablet it does say USB Connector Connected but that's all.
With 4.0.3 it used to say that it found a 450D, 50D or other DSLR that I connected before I would get a pop up with the question which app I would like to open.
I really don't know what's wrong...don't know if there are any missing or special camera detecting drivers which need to be installed first.
I hope someone can help me solve this problem cause it was a real handy feature.
Kind regard

I want to be able to plug a standard usb webcam "type" device into my A500.
I bought off a usb microscope off Ebay. It is recognized under windows xp - 7 as a usb hid device. It did not even come with a driver disk, since everything recognized it automagically. I tried it last night under 3 different linux distro's and they detected it with no issue.
Does anyone know of a way? It would be so much easier to carry the tablet with me, vs a laptop, not to mention much better battery life so I can be in the field longer without a recharge.
I think the A500 needs root for it to go into host mode. Do you have it rooted? I don't think I have heard of any webcam device working on Android with a simple plug and play, but who knows.

Oh yeah I'm rooted, running a custom rom. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty either if someone knows of a solution
Hello, I'm looking also to find a solution for a webcam. But no lock so far.
Once I tried one on a older tablet running 1.6 and it worked but as it had the drivers build in loaded but I had to use a special camera apk.
So I think we need to have two things (maybe this is obvious for you)
1) the correct drivers loaded (we need to find them)
2) The correct app that let us choose the usb camera as I think they enumerate starting as 0... Or can create one
But to me the hardest part is finding the correct drivers.
Could you share the a link to that ebay microscope ? I might get one of the same so we can play with the same thing.
Thx
Good day everyone. I have motorola defy with the CyanMod 10 Android Version 4.1.1 and I want to know how to enable the USB Hosting on the phone.
Recently I acquired a Canon 7D camera and I wanted to use my phone as a controller for the camera and I found an amazing app for it, the DSLR Controller https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller&hl=en, I've been looking around and I haven't find a way or why my cellphone doesn't detect the camera or even an USB Pen Drive. I have a USB on-the-go cable and apparently the app is compatible with my phone since I was able to download it. I can't find anywhere about this problem and I really want my phone to host and work as a remote controller for my cam. Physically I've tried different cables so the cable is working fine.
*How can I enable the hosting?
*is there an app for it?
*If i have to program a code for it, what app or how can I change the text code on my PC?
*Am I doing something wrong???
*Anyone has the same problem???
I've found a similar thread but it's no tutorial on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960633 so if anyone can help me, I'll be a very happy man.
Thanks for your time.
I think it has not been yet implemented in the current custom kernel(but will be)

Hello , I have recently upgraded my phone to HTC One X but wish to use my HD2 for use of my camera as a remote shutter / remote focus app.
I notice various people have made free / paid for apps to do this on android providing you have host mode
I have installed various additions of ICS onto the device but cant seem to get the camera to be detected (i understand i have to power the usb cable as the hd2 doesnt output power), i can get the free shutter release app to work on my touchpad but do not wish to pay for the full app until i can get it to work on my hd2 (which i will just keep in my camera bag) , does anyone know of any rom that does have host mode working, or has anyone used any apps that do what im looking for on the HD2
assuming its not possible , does anyone know of a cheap small android device that would support it?
Set everything up, try the pro version, and then if it doesn't work then get a refund?
Well i cant seem to get the shutter release to work and the description says to test if it will work use that first (which it doesnt) so im wondering if anyone has got host mode working / camera linkup working and what rom was used etc.
Try different ROM/kernal.

Do you haven any suggestions which one may work (i have tried various ones with no success)
Look for the thread on development of USB Host mode in the NAND Development section. Normal, daily use kernels do not support USB Host...

Hey XDA!
Just thought I'd drop a question your way as I've been trying to find an answer throughout the web for the last three days, but found nobody who can answer it. So, I wondered if you guys could be the ones to answer my question!
I'm running CM12 Android 5.1.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - SM-N9005 (Unlocked), and I'm attempting to route a USB webcam through to being the default camera for my phone. I was wondering, if there is somewhere in the many yonder of files throughout Android if there is a way to change this.
My phone has two cameras, but neither of which are fixed in one location, and due to wanting to use a USB webcam (Logitech C615 HD) I thought it might be useful to run and use as opposed to my standard cameras built into the device. Is it possible to do this -
Webcam -> USB -> OTG -> Phone -> Android (Instead of hardware camera, use USB camera, for apps like WhatsApp, Skype etc)
Please don't point out the software on Google play for this, I've installed every one of them promising to enable USB Webcam feed, and while they work, they only work within their respective applications. Which sucks.
So my YoCam camera arrived, and excited to receive my new kickstarter toy, I tried to connect it to my phone following the basic instructions.
Phone sees and connects to the device via wireless, but the app refuses to connect. However using other android phones will allow me to connect to the camera, using exactly the same process., so it does not appear at least at a basic level, an android or an app issue.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or can suggest some troubleshooting tools so i can get a better view of what is going on.
Thanks
Hi, Not that this helps: I have exactly the same but on a Samsung Note 3 running cyanogenmod 6.0.1. When connecting to my Samsung tab S2 with standard Android no problem.
Are you running a alternative rom on your phone or standard?
