While Cherry Trail supports USB 3.0 the Yoga Book is only USB 2.0

therefore in you're opinion there's no way to make it work ? any idea of a lan dongle that for sure will work ?

I have a generic inland usb otg dongle, that I plugged an apple ethernet-to-usb dongle into. It took 1 minute, then started working. Im on android nougat, but have used same setup on a phone running aosp marshmallow.
Not sure what either are based on, but id think any generic made-for-usb-2.0 adapters would work

Wireless keyboard (not bluetooth) works!

Ever since I saw the Host enabled USB port hack via Tiamat I've been wondering if my wireless Logitech keyboard via Unify would work and how awesome it eventually will be...today I am happy to say that it is confirmed!
I've just received my host cable and as soon as I pluged the unify usb dongle in the port, the keyboard worked natively, no driver or anything else...it could be just me, but I think it's pretty freaken awesome! even ctrl+T opens a new tab...
that is all, k thx for reading
That is cool. Not sure that they make too many portable mini 2.4 keyboard though.
Not sure about mini keyboard selections, but this implies any keyboard that would work natively on your pc should work fine with the xoom with usb host enabled.
EDIT: found both efo and logitech make quite small keyboards for google tv, which would work also for the xoom.
Forgot to mention, I've noticed the xoom restarting more than once while i have the host cable pluged in and the usb dongle, Im not sure this is a result of 1. Tiamat 1.3.0 2. Usb Host cable 3. Unify keyboard drawing too much power?

Some time ago I posted a similar experience when I connected a USB keyboard to the OTG cable. It might be linked to the keyboard. I have not had an HDD connected for more than a few minutes so I should try that.
random Q....tiaman 1.1.6 and 1.3.0 already incorporated the host mode hack?

That was the reason for me to load the Tiamat 1.1.6 kernel. To my knowledge it's still in 1.3.0. You might also want to check the guide enable mounting of NTFS volumes!

I also have a wireless logitech. I bought an OTG microusb->usb and it worked without any modifications (no tiamat, etc)
any chance a wireless (non BT) mouse would work this way?

Highly unlikely. Even a generic mouse will require some kind of drivers and a pointer is not implemented routinely AFAIK.

[Q] [DEV/REQUEST] USB Controller Support Kernel

Since we have not 1 but 2 working 3.1 ROMs for our beloved devices...how long after we get the 3.1 OTA do you think we can incorporate USB controller support on our fantastic new ROMs?
Chlballi
on this topic,
you will probably be seeing kernel fixes today
so you know.
In both HoneyVillain and Dexter's Aconia P1 roms, my Logitech F510 is recognized (using Xinput mode) and I've been using it with snes9x ex. The Xinput mode emulates an XBOX360 controller, so I figure those must work as well.
my honeyvillain didnt recognize my cheap analog chinese gamepad..
is there no way to make these cheap pad recognized?
fyi it only work in windows, not even on my mac os
but i hope some devs can make it to emulate like xbox controller like on windows which are needed for some games like gta IV
so one thing i've noticed w/ the xoom and other 3.1 tablets is that the usb controller support uses the micro-usb to female USB adapter then you plug in the controller to that... the MICRO usb port, I suspect that is the issue, we're all trying to plug the controler in to the full size usb ports just because we have it. If someone is able to (i don't have the adapter) try using the micro usb port with a micro - full adapter and get back before we start having the devs make these crazy changes.
also, i support the idea of making the full usb ports work with controllers like that so don't take this post the wrong way i just have this feeling that the intended use is for the micro - full adapters rather than our full port

asus and xoom uses the micro usb , as it has a chipset that support usbmode switching, so it can run in host or device mode.. nothing else..
its special in that way support OTG android mode, cable is a little different too with ground attached to different pin, but thats it..
we got the right usb port as i know it, and since we got a device usb port we dont need usbport mode switching here..
well i understand that we have the right usb port i'm just theorizing that because all the other tablets out there that use 3.1 only have micro then most likely support for the full sized port wasn't baked into 3.1 for people like us.. might take a small feat to get it working on full usb for us.
then again i don't know for sure, its just a theory i came up w/ after looking into it myself
Perhaps you all are testing wrong. I found an emulator for Snes that works with my usb controller. SuperGnes.
No issues for me playing nes emulators with my wired 360 controller.
anyone managed to get a usb cd rom working? I've tried plugging one in but nothing so far. running dexters primee 8
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
any dev maybe can port ps3 controller driver from asus to acer ??
as now we have kernel code (even its only 3.0.1 code, but as i understand with some modification its possible )
yes, my 360 wired controller works fine.
ps3 controller support via USB is now added to my kernel..
for other kernel modders..
its just including "CONFIG_HID_SONY" and its all solved, so you know..
its not default with acer kernel.
So still no go on non-sony controllers?

kernel got lotsa choices, so details for which to choose , if a research, and adding all of them is probably not the best to do..
maybe you can search google on your joystick + linux kernel ,and see what pops up. maybe a simple yes or no for support, og some techno babble explaining how to add it..

But i see you didnt make a new thread for your kernel.. hope u make it soon
So i can use with other acer based roms ..
I'm just trying to get generic USB gamepads to work..I'll see what I can find for that..

[Q] USB Ethernet?

Just wondering, since my Thinkpad Tablet has that handy USB port, can I plug in a USB ethernet adapter? Would be very handy for configuring network hardware and the like.
Thanks
Try it. I'd be eager to see what you come up with!
Me too.

It might work, but you need the correct USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapter for Android devices.
Funny, I was wondering the same thing yesterday. Love to know outcome.

Hello,
i bought in Germany an Medion Lifetab P9516, its a Lenovo Ideapad K1.
This week we got the update of ICS and so i have ethernet with a d-link usb-ethernet adapter.
The adapter is a DUB-E100 adapter and i get the ip-address dynamicly.
I can see the ip with ifconfig and the route with ip route, but i cant change the ip because the device is not rooted.
Is here anyone who rooted his device with ICS and can give a little advice?
Thanks a lot
Wolfgang
P.S. Please apologies my bad english.

What I use and is really sweet is a Bluetooth to serial adapter. They are a little high in price though compared to a USB Network adapter.
There are multiple companies that make them but this has been my favorite one so far - http://www.g2microsystems.com/products/RN_270
I use it with a free app called blueterm and can config anything with a console/serial cable from my phone or tablet.

Is it possible to enable mico USB (OTG) to LAN

How to enable micro USB to LAN interface works on yoga book? Thanks!
Have you tried it yet? I just assumed it would work. I have been under the impression Android supports it natively. I'll give it a go tonight.

Yup, it works out of the box! Just plugged my USB2.0 to LAN adapter into my micro-USB to USB adapter and turned wifi off.
Excuse my handwriting.

using mouse with Dex support

Hi guys.
I just bought S5e cover with keyboard and since I'm oldschool,I'd like to use tablet sometimes as a laptop.
I know I can switch to Dexx mode but I wonder can I use mouse with it?
I have some dongles USB type C to Type A (3.0 and 2.0) but those are chinese.
Can I use them normally connecting to type C port on tablet without any issues and then connect wireless mouse dongle over it?
Yep you can
I know that some phones/tablets are super sensitive on which dongles you use to connect the peripherals, however I have had my luck with several devices previously. I have never owned the Samsung Tab S5e, but I have the Tab S6, and it eats any dongles i throw at it.
Psst: I have a dongle with 3x USB 3.0 ports, 1x1000mbps LAN, 1xUSB-C and SD card reader on it, and all works.
