Has anyone manage to install an usb audio board or usb headphones to ubuntu on hd2? Is it possible? I'm trying to update alsa drivers but haven't managed to solve this problem.
Is there a known way?
Yes, worked fine with new kernel update and modules. It detected as soon as i inserted the sound card even through usb hub.
However audio does not work for phone calls still. Exploring out still...
can you please direct me on where or how these updates could be make. Even external audio would be ok.
I've tried downloading any update i could get, but don't know how to enable sound as my external usb audio adapters are not yet recognised.
Yes... external audio is fine. I tried with a Microsoft USB Headphones and also with cheap usb sound card both are working fine...
Search with the string zImage-htcleo-usbhost-latest and download both zImage-htcleo-usbhost-latest and modules-htcleo-usbhost-latest.tgz
Search [Discussion]Linux and Android on the HD2 and you will get information about updating the kernel.
Cheers!
hello, i did by the following guide
Installing the latest Linux kernel image (zImage)
1) Download the latest Linux kernel image (right click, save file as)
1a)for Google Android
1b) for classical GNU/Linux based distros (Ubuntu, openemebdded, meego, maemo etc)
Be aware these build links are dynamic and will be updated once the Linux kernel source code is updated. See here for static links
2) Rename the file to zImage
3) Overwrite your old zImage file with the newly obtained zImage file
Installing the matching Linux kernel modules (.ko files)
1) Download the latest Linux kernel modules to match your kernel image
1a) for classical GNU/Linux based distros (Ubuntu...)
1b) for Google Android
2) Install the modules...
2a) in GNU/Linux
As root run
cd /
tar xvf /path/to/modules-htcleo-usbhost-latest.tgz
downloaded both zImage-htcleo-usbhost-latestt and modules-htcleo-usbhost-latest.tgz then renamed first one like the older one in the linux folder, then use the tar command in root console to copy files from the archive to /lib folder (or wherever they were put). After a restart i get some fatal errors during text load up of linux, something involving mod probe complaining about not finding something in /lib folder, modules.dep if i remember, then at GUI load i get another error "cannot update ICEautorithy file. When i click ok, i get the desktop loaded but still no sound plus now, no wifi or some other drivers.
I guess i did it wrong

can you please tell me in detail what I have to do to get usb audio working
in sound settings it shows me that there is no hardware????
i didn't manage to solve that problem.
i still have problems replacing the old kernel and modules, after reboot the phone displays some errors involving modprobe then iceauthority files. If someone could upload a newer version using this kernel or a guide to enable sound, it would be excellent.
ok, managed to change to a new kernel and modules with no problems but still.. no audio. By default (no other modifications) i have no audio devices in the hardware tab of "audio" in preferences. When booting up i can see the usb-audio driver loading up and my audio card is recognised as "usb headphones" or something like that, but when the graphical part of ubuntu loads up i can't see nothing related to audio.
Tried with both cheap sound card and logitech usb headphones, same result, no sound.
USB audio works on my Allwinner A10 tablet witn "Unofficial CyanogenMod 9 for many AllWinner A10 tablets" firmware from Christian Troy
Hi, I'm running HyperDroid CM7 - 5.5.2 on my HD2 and I've had a problem installing the drivers needed for USB Host controlling or using USB OTG.
...Okay, not problems, I haven't been able to figure out ANYTHING over what to do.
I know that USB Hosting works on the Linux Ubuntu ROMS and WM 6.5, so I checked up what solutions would be available for Android?
I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468531
Which directed me to:
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
The thing is, I can't understand those instructions.
I have made my own OTG Cable and I have the power source figured out.
It's the software that has me scratching my head.
TL;DR
I cant install the drivers. I need clear instructions on how to.
I'll be honest with my technical skills, I'm very much a noob.
The best I can do is Flash a ROM.
(More specifically, flashing MAGLDR ROMs. I've flashed over 10 different ROMS on this machine)
Any help or instruction regarding this would be grand.
I thank you for your patience.
I am running CyanogenMod version 10.1.2 on a Nook Color via micro SD card. I can not get any USB devices (eg. thumb drives) to work. Nothing happens when I plug a USB device in, so it appears that the Nook Color does not recognize the device. To troubleshoot the problem, I ran a program called "USB Host Diagnostics," and received the following message:
USB Host Controller: version number 0.44
S3C USB Host Driver NOT found!
Root hub present, USB Host Mode is active.
What is the "S3C USB Host Driver? Where can I download it? How do I install the driver on the Nook Color? What steps do I need to take to get USB hosting to work? Thanks for any help you can give me to help me solve the problem!

Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 can't use USB host mode, if you need to use USB host mode use Cyanogenmod 7 and the nook color tools app to enable it

To expand on this: CM7 was based on top of an older Linux kernel version (2.6.32), on top of which a lot of hard work was done to enable USB host mode. In porting to CM9/10/10.1, we moved to a newer kernel version (3.0), and some of that work wasn't brought over. There aren't any technical barriers to enabling USB host mode on newer kernels -- someone "just" needs to spend the time to go through the patches for host mode in 2.6.32 and figure out what bits need to be forward ported to 3.0. (In case you haven't figured out yet, time is the scarcest asset in a volunteer project like this one ...)

"S3C USB Host" refers to the USB OTG hardware included in Samsung S5PC110 ("Exynos3") devices, including the Nexus S and most Galaxy S series phones. It's not applicable to OMAP devices like the Nook Color, which use different, much more mature USB OTG hardware and drivers from Mentor Graphics and TI (musb_hdrc).

THANKS to EVERYONE for responding and clarifying the situation with USB Hosting mode on CM 10. The information saves me a lot of frustration in trying to get my Nook Color to recognize my USB devices. At least I can get USB Hosting working if I use CM7; that's an option, so thanks a lot for pointing it out. I'm a newbie and struggling to learn Android related stuff. If I had the technical know-how, I'd love to help solve the USB Host issue with CM10. For me at least, USB hosting would be a valuable feature in CM10 and beyond. I really like how well CM10 runs on my device with a SanDisk 8Gb micro SDHC card.
To get some of my devices (eg. keyboard) working on CM10, I may try the bluetooth capability in CM 10. However, I read somewhere that the range of bluetooth was limited on the Nook Color. I think that was awhile ago when developers initially unlocked bluetooth on the Nook Color. Is bluetooth range still a significant issue?
THANKS AGAIN!!!

There is a limited range for bluetooth, it was actually hidden in the official rom and not enabled until some developers found it out.
IF you really want USB host on a newish android version, you might want to use CM9, it still has usb host and I was able to use it a few months ago for a project. But there is limited opengl support and it might have a few minor bugs in it.

Thanks for the tip about USB hosting mode and CM9. I'll download CM9 and see how it works with my Nook Color and USB peripherals.

Please provide more detail about how you enabled USB hosting mode in CM9. I downloaded and installed CM9, but I can't figure out how to enable USB mode. I tried an app called "Nook Color Tweaks," but the app clearly states that it does not work with CM9. What steps did you take to get USB hosting on your device running CM9? Please clarify. Thank you!

I'm sorry,the app I was referring to was Nook Color Tweaks. Whoops :laugh:
A few of the options will not work on CM9 but the USB host will/should work.
I haven't used CM9 in a while now but if usb host doesn't work on the rom I linked to then you may want to use a ROM from eyeballer's unofficial CM9 nightly builds and try the latest opengl build. I had used eyeballer's rom in the past and it did work with USB host.

I think the changes need to be made in encore_defconfig (or encore _cm11_defconfig). I can try to make the changes but these files are automatically generated in the make process. Could you point me to the configuration files where this happens? I think it must be in device/bn/encore.
I am having a problem understanding what options I have to use my external wifi adapter, TL WN722N, on my Android Phone. I am using a galaxy s10+, rooted with magisk, no custom recovery/kernel. My questions are:
I need to install the driver for this wifi adapter into my Android kernel right?
Do I need to rebuild the kernel for this? I.e. install the driver into the kernel and then flash the kernel, or is there a way where I can load a kernel module which contains the driver without flashing a custom kernel which contains this driver?
What options do I have to install this driver on my Android phone? I am having a hard time finding out how to install this driver into my android phone.
I tried various ways such as editing the system file located in system>vendor>etc>permissions>handheld_core_hardware.xml and even updating firmware (currently at 432)....my usb host working properly (as said by USB OTG Troubleshoot app) but still my flashdrive(works in my laptop) is not working on my phone (not lighting and already formatted it to fs fat32)... PLS HELP ME
