[Q] WebCam Support 4.4.2 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am trying to get my Logitech Webcam to work with my N7 rooted stock ROM 4.4.2. So far, I have utilized the information from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092216
I did everything correctly through Terminal inputting the text show from the thread I linked, which is:
su
ls -l /dev/video0
chmod 666 /dev/video0
Opened up SimpleWebCam, and the app says my camera is not supported. I am using a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910, and that webcam has been verified to be working properly.
I did a bit of research and found that DashCam would also solve my problem. I installed the DashCam app and the app still does not recognize my webcam.
Is 4.4.2 just giving everyone problems with this stuff? I'm not sure what else I can do or should be doing. Help?!
Thanks! =)

[Q] USB Tethering on Ubuntu 11.04

I have been having trouble using easy tether to connect to the Internet on my computer after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04. It was working fine on 10.10 but after updating, I can't seem to get it to work.
I have installed the drivers and have it running on my phone and I type the commands:
cd /usr/bin
easytether connect
It displays that I am connected on the terminal, but network manager just says that I am searching for a connection. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or have another way to USB tether to Ubuntu 11.04?
What phone are you using ? There is a known bug in ubuntu heres how to fix it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AndroidScreenshots. I know its for screenshots but it works the code is for htc if you are not using a htc device the vender codes for other devices can be found in the superoneclick.thread.

Hey thanks for the link. I will try editing my android.rules file to the new one that is there
Nope that didn't work. Thanks for the input though. Does anyone else have this problem? I have seen a bunch of people on the ubuntu forums but there doesnt seem to be anyone who got it to work
I bumping this again because I really need this to work. Any ideas????? Please???
My Ubuntu box was not able to find my phone...but after I went In and manually added it it connects just fine.

Are you on 11.04? And how did you manually add it?
I can get adb to work. Also, if I type:
cd /usr/bin
easytether enumerate
It shows the device id but if I type:
easytether connect #############
It shows it connects in the terminal just like it does without the number, it says it is connected in the terminal, but network manager does not connect.
This is incredibly important to me so could you please post how you did that when you get a chance?
I just talked to easytether support. It seems to be a bug in their program. They are going to be fixing it soon.
I apologize for reviving but was a fix released?

[Q] usb2serial

Hello all,
I want to apologize if this has been posted already but I have searched and cannot find an actual answer.
I would like to use my iconia to connect to device serial Ports for configuration purposes. I am running taboonay and have the right kernel modules loaded because I can see my usb2serial device under dmesg. What I am missing is the software interface to communicate with the port like putty or hyperterminal.
I have downloaded several apps from the market with no luck.
Any suggestions?
Acer a500
Taboonay 2.0
2.6.36.4
Thanks
what are you trying to configure? Maybe I can help
I do work on enterprise storage systems. Many times when I need to set up a new system, I have to log into the system via serial to configure the initial IP and hostname.
Thanks for the reply.
microcom
I use microcom which was included in busybox. From the terminal, as root, try "busybox microcom /dev/ttyUSB0". Replace ttyUSB0 with whatever device you get in dmesg.
Check this thread:

Don't know if it would help, but worth a try.

Many thanks to all who responded...
microcom worked like a charm.

[Q] Please add V4L2 support

If is possible, please add UVC driver support to this ROM. I can't find any custom ROM with v4l2 enabled kernel.
Too complicated build custom kernel for me.
Code:
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_COMMON=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_MEDIA=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS=y
CONFIG_V4L_USB_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV=y

Wouldn't do much without a matching camera HAL... Or are you using commandline capture utilities?
And you need to tell us which device you're using. Some devices simply don't have OTG support at all and never will because they don't have the hardware for it. (mako is one of these...)

Thanks for reply.
I use nexus 10 tablet. USB mouse working fine so i think, OTG cable is working on my device.
My general problem: No /dev/video0 video source.
Searched by this command in terminal emulator: ls /dev | grep video0
I use ArutCam application for stream external camera picture.. i talk the developer and he say: "arutcam lets you choose camera
if your camera is detected well by android then it will be ok"
Sorry for my english

I don't have a manta so I can't make this change myself.
If you're able to build Omni yourself, you can try making the change and then submitting it to gerrit for review.

Buetooth on Glowlight 3 7.8"

Has anybody tested the bluetooth on the 7.8" version? I'm wondering if it is possible to pair a rooted gl3 with a bluetooth keyboard.
Yes, I've paired a keyboard.
The stock Settings.apk doesn't have direct access to the Bluetooth settings.
You can activate them over ADB as in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80852717&postcount=57
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.bluetooth.BluetoothSettings
I will eventually patch Settings to give direct access, but I've got a bunch of other stuff on my plate right now.
