Nexus One USB host driver

USB Drives, keyboard, camera, external monitor?

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?

If you have any specific question, don't hesitate to ask me so I can add it to the web page.

Well, some of it is Debian based, so ready for nerd time

nice

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.
Cheers,
Kermee

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?
Cheers,
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.

Exactly. I added a picture to the website for clarification.

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!
Cheers,
Kermee

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!

lol. I can use any headphone with my play(r800i).

Sony is not preventing you from using other headphones dummy... Some jacks are to fat and wont fit but 95% of them will there is no mechanicle issue preventing you from using headphones every jack ive tried is fine

im not the same person but i have also found i can use any headphones with my PLAY for clarification its a 2011 model r800i unbranded.
mine also shipped with 2.3.3 and had an option to chnage auto brightness and Xloud already installed

You can also get an adapter from ebay which lets you use any headphones on the xperia 2011 phones - this does not however enable you to use the microphone on these unsupported headsets.

It's just a 3.5mm headphone jack. All my headphones have worked fine.

The "standard" 3.5mm headphone jack is CTIA whereas xperia 2011 devices are OMTP...For no good reason =|

Then you're lucky.

Since when can't you plug other headphones into the XPlay? As others have said it's just a standard 3.5mm jack. Just about any headphones will work in it.

*sigh*
Not all headphones work.

I'm thinking it's mostly TRRS headsets/headphones with mic that appear to be incompatible.
has anyone tried one of these?

Ahh, yes, it seems that this is strictly related to headsets..my bad. I've only used headphones, never wired headsets.

I've tried plenty, from Sony headphones to Samsung earbuds to HP wrap-around earphones and generic no-name earbuds and they have all worked. Every single one of them.
Headsets on the other hand might be a different story, as I haven't tried headsets so I wouldn't know. But I don't see why headphones wouldn't work.

I've tried quite a few in HMV, they all worked.

Have a couple pairs of MEE headsets and the adapter works. Never used it for mic purposes, though. Just use them as cheap but decent pair of headphones.

Is this a joke or are people this stupid? First off, this doesn't apply to any r800x, THEY CAME WITH ADAPTERS. Second, Sony will GIVE YOU ONE, all u do is ask. so instead of doing this moronic trick, use your head.

Explain
Can anyone explain why and how this works? dont want to break good headphones if iam not guaranteed it will work?

New Owner with checklist ...am I missing anything? Recommendations are welcome

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...

Some of it came with the phone from the original owner the rest I am getting from different places. Just wanting to get the full experience right away

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.

Yeah I have been considering GB for sure but it seems ICS is "safe" as long as I dont user recovery or trying to reset it.

Yeah,but on GB everything works.

"no" is right, unfortunately the N4 does NOT have OTG support... this is hardware based not software, so I doubt it will ever be able to do it...

Yeah, the OTG is extremely unfortunate. The 8gb is a huge slap in a face, with only ~300mb wiggle room

correct me if i wrong, the device dosent have otg support because the usb port cant produce enough voltage to turn on external devices. this external sd card reader is also a external battery so it has the voltage to turn itself on soshouldnt it work?

oh uhm. just rebooted my tv (turned completely off instead of standby) and now it works. somehow my tv turned the 2nd hdmi slot off.
and the best thing about hdmi in lollipop is. IT Finally Shows in maximum resolution. my tv is 1080p and now with lollipop my TN7 also sends 1080p to my tv instead of the 720p resolution cap like it was on KitKat
