Improve usb support - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have been using a Minix U9h android TV box for years and haven't found a USB device that didn't work.
I haven't been so lucky with the Lineage rom for the Shield. KeyEvent Display on the Minix shows an event for the right mouse click, on the Shield nothing.
The Minix has two folders in /system/usr/ keylayout and keychars with about 40 .kl files, I think these are config files for usb gadgets.
Could I copy the two folders to the same directory on the Shield to get the same functionality as the Minix box?
The Shield is Android 11 whereas the MInix is 7.1
Here are the files
67.9 KB file on MEGA
mega.nz
Permissions are the same for all the files
NEO-U9-H:/system/usr/keylayout $ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 811 2008-12-31 16:00 AVRCP.kl

Well I am getting nowhere with this, I work on photocopiers.
Some site mentioned Bliss OS and that reminded me I had that a hard drive with Bliss on it, so I booted up.
Bliss OS detected the keyboard and an Apple Pro 1048 plugged in later
The primary keyboard is this one
ADX Firefight MK04 (RGB) : Amazon.com.be: Electronics
ADX Firefight MK04 (RGB) : Amazon.com.be: Electronics
www.amazon.com.be
The other is an Apple pro keyboard a1048.
I have plugged a known good memory stick in and that showed nothing, is my device faulty?
Using a Bluetooth keyboard atm

Fixed
For clarity, I will refer to usb port a as the ordinary one, usb b as the debugging one
As the ports are usb3 I took a gamble and bought a SanDisk Ultra Flair 150MB/s USB 3.0 Flash Drive 32GB and plugged that into port a, and it showed up in file explorer result !
I bought a usb 3 hub

Connecting random stuff to OTG cable...

Just wondering what people have tried to connect to their SGS2s via OTG cables... I have tried the following:
Working:
Generic Logitech wireless mouse via USB wireless dongle
Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse via MX's docking station
Genius USB laser mouse
8GB micro SD card via USB adaptor
64GB SSD USB HDD via y-splitter for additional power
Wireless USB mini keyboard with touchpad (the touchpad worked perfectly & CTRL-ALT-DEL rebooted the phone!!!)
Not working:
Samsung ML-2240 laser printer (recognized but won't print)
Logitech STX webcam (unknown device)
Generic bluetooth USB dongle (unknown device)
87 views and no-one else plugging random USB **** into their phone? Just me then, lol.
i tried to plug in via usb:
generic usb mouse
many usb keys from 2 - 16gb
via bluetooth:
mouse
not working via usb:
generic keyboard

Would be kind of pointless anyway.
When my SGS2 and an OTG arrive, I will test some of my hardware(G15(gaming keyboard with lcd display), Razer Diamondback(mouse), Saitek Cyborg EVO(Joystick), HD2(Android phone) and if I ever have too much money and time, something like THIS and of course USB storage devices from 16MB-1,5TB etc. ) Will let you guys know how everything works.

I tried my Logitech G15 and didn't have much success. Connected directly, it's simply a high power USB device, and via a powered hub, it sometimes is detected, usually isn't (seems to depend in what order it's connected). Regardless, I haven't managed to make it function correctly.
On the other hand, my Logitech MX 518 mouse works great connected directly.
My Logitech Webcam 9000 Pro is detected (even directly), but is unrecognized.
I did some tests with the OTG.
Working:
All USB sticks I tested with.
Keychain Spycam. You can even charge it with the phone Only the webcame mode doesn't work
Some old Logitech wireless notebook mouse
Standard Logitech mouse (one that came with a pc)
Not working:
NTFS drive(Haven't tried the NTFS drivers)
HTC HD2-ADB: High power device. Can't test with powered HUB, because the only one I have is the one in my pc display and that doesn't seem to work with my SGS2.
Razer Diamondback:High power device.
Logitech G15:High power device. (as reported above)
Saitek Cyborg Evo (Joystick):The LEDs in the joystick are working, but whatever I press, nothing happens on the device.
Cheap keyboard with backlight:High power device.
Edit: of courses wifi, Bluetooth and UMTS/HSDPA aren't working over otg either xD
Will update when I try more devices
Has anyone tried if it works with a Logitech G700 ?
Do I need 2.3.4 for all this ? I've heard I do ..
I was wondering if a usb dvb-t tuner should work to watch tv( i didn't try).
Hope someone will test it
Connected my digital camera Sony CyberShot DSC-W300 with USB and a new folder appeared in the Gallery app with all the pictures, impressed.
Didn't work with a Canon G5.
I tried a generic USB mouse and keyboard, several flash drives and my wireless mini-keyboard/mouse-combo via USB dongle
Everything worked

Nope, works on 2.3.3 as well.
Samsung implemented the host stuff from the start on.
Just wondering which OTG cables you guys are using. Also are there externally powered versions available (to power devices with higher requirements)?
I use a cheap 9 bucks one from the ew-Bay.
One day I left the wireless dongle for my minikeyboard/-mouse thing connected - phone was in standby all day, but battery was dead empty after a few hours *lol*
Xbox 360 wired controller : recognized as unknown device, lovely it looks it's NOT a power eating controller ! Lights turn on ok
Apple iPad 1G : could work great (device well mounting at first) but it's recognized as high power device, so... Not working.
Sony PSP : Works perfect
Another android phone (Xperia x10i) : guest detects well USB connection, it charges battery (!) and USB mount works. However, host doesn't detect anything.
I tryied my usb 3 drive formated with ntfs and it worked,:good: played mkv video nice and smooth.
As for the cable I bought it on ebay just standard otg cable
I tried Logitech M310 mouse and K360 keyboard both worked.

Gen9 Full Size USB Slot - Thoughts

Hi Folks
I've been playing around with a 101 Gen9 and in particular the Full Size USB Slot on the back.
On the Archos WebSite in the FAQ they state:
What can I plug in the USB port on the back of the tablet?
The USB host port on the back of your G9 tablet is reserved for only the ARCHOS G9 3G Stick. You will not be able to plug any other USB devices in this port.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have been doing some of my own testing on this port and found that not to be the case
Every device I plugged into it has worked in one way or another (very much another in some cases)
1. The tablet has been rooted using letma's method.
2. You need to turn on the "3G Stick" in the Wireless Settings
3. The tablet Was Plugged In
On point 3. I have no idea how the battery was doing. especially with some of the more power hungry usb devices.
Here's a list of what I've tested
Not Working:
Keyboard (USB 1.1)
Working:
Kingston Data Traveller II+ (USB 2.0) - Picked up as external storage
HTC Hero Mass Storage
HTC Debug Bridge (Required Root for adb)
HTC Sensation Mass Storage
HTC Sensation Debug Bridge (Required Root for adb)
4 Port HUB (USB 2.0)
A Couple of observations.
After turning the 3G Stick on I restarted the device
I had to plug the USB devices while the tablet was starting for it to be picked up.
The Keyboard worked when plugged into the 4 Port USB Hub. I think the keyboard will function on its own with the right kernel modules
No Device showed up as The "External Storage" in the "Files" program when plugged into the Hub, even though I mounted the device (/dev/block/sd*) from terminal emulator to the /mnt/ext_storage folder.I suspect it is looking for a specific USB device number as the external storage device.
I suppose it would be good if some other people to test what USB devices they have to hand to see what works, maybe we could build a list of functioning devices. I'm going to investigate getting the Keyboard going on it's own, which is what sparked this off and also test some external hard drives with various file systems.
I hope someone finds this helpful

For me the usb stick and hard drive is working on the stock archos firmware without reboot!

RAZRi XT890 USB OTG Capabilities (Thread for all Devices)

Me and few other people still asking about OTG capabilities so lets make combined thread for all.
What I figured out for now.
First of all RAZR i does not support OTG itself cause has no power on micro USB port so You need more than regular USB OTG cable.
You need minimum 1A powered USB HUB which means just buy regular 3/4/8 ports USB HUB but with 1A (can be 2A too) AC adapter.
So connection should looks like:
RAZRi -> OTG Cable -> USB Powered HUB -> USB Device
It's simple part. Lest make something harder.
List of devices which I tested:
USB HUB
KitKat should bring more OTG capabilitiesfor us so to prepare for that I bought new USB HUB with built in OTG support.
It the same like THIS one and it's dedicated for Samsung S3, S4 etc.
Hub is made not so bad, it has built in OTG support so no need other adapters and it has power connector.
To use this HUB You need to connect it to DC 5V/1A with 1,35/3,5 to USB cable. I used this cable and regular Moto wall charger. You can also use power bank as power for more mobility.
All my USB devices working fine under this HUB so I can recommend this for RAZRi.
Mouses and Keyboards
RAZRi has no problems to detect and handle with most of mouses and keyboards. No modifications are needed. Just Plug & Play.
USB Drives (Pendrives, HDD's etc)
Unfortunately none of them are working. Phone detects devices in some apps but drives are not detected as drives, just devices and they can't be mounted. I think without any kernel modifications drives can't be mounted. Apps to mount drives can't handle with it too.
USB Audio Devices / DAC
Unfortunately I have only 2 devices like that. Sound Blaster Surround 5.1 USB and Logitech Stereo USB Speakers.
Both tested with USB Audio Tester ROOT.
Creative is correctly detected but there is no sound on every setting.
Logitech USB speakers are detected correctly too but I was able to make it works but only to hear sound from internal microphone. No way to hear music or any sound from phone.
I tested SoundAbout Pro tp force playing from USB host but it failed. I don't know any other app can make it. Also I'm really noob at Linux so I have no idea what to modify in Alsa driver to redirect sound on USB audio device.
USB Game Controllers / PAD
I have only wireless XBOX360 pad so can be hard to make it work but heard somewhere that can be possible. In few days i'll check what can be done with it.
Tested with Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2, working like a charm without any mods. OFC You need to use button mapper or any similar app cause after connect pad is working like mouse but after remap we have fully working cordless pad.
USB Network Adapters
At this moment I tested only cheap RJ45 to USB adapter but it doesn't work. Strange cause activity led on adapter is blinking sometimes and it stops when phone is off but nothing except this.
Any other news, suggestions, tests of working devices are welcome.
Network adapters updated.
Wysłane z Motorola RAZR i.
You need to mod the kernel to add usbstorage like the samsung S3 and the framework apk i think, maybe some hardcore developers can help on it.
xbox 360 controller is detected as device but is not working something is missing cuz i added the keylayout for the device and is not working. but you can remap any keyboard keylayout to work as joystic XD.
Updated GamePads section.
USB HUB with OTG added.
Very nice, I tryed, and it works like a charm. I could use a keyboard and mouse runing Ubuntu 15.10 on CHROOT

USB OTG a few things tested...

I've no idea if this will be of interest to any of you, especially those people who have yet to buy a 5t and are trying weigh up the pros and cons, but USB OTG is something I use all the time, so o it was one of the first things I tested when I got mine. So far I'm really pleased as everything I wanted to work does so. My last device, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, had very poor USB OTG implementation so this is great from my point of view. Maybe I'm behind the times and I had the last phone on the planet with that problem - if so, please delete this mods
First off, before you can use USB OTG, you need to head into settings, then advanced and check the OTG setting. It turns off after ten minutes so I created a link on my homepage using Nova launcher's activity widget menu.
*EDIT* As ny-hardcore has kindly pointed out below, you can also have an OTG quick toggle in notification area. This didn't work for me at first (or I was hitting the wrong thing), but now it does .
Tested and working:
USB card readers of various types, including micro USB readers, with the help of a USB C to Micro USB adapter (5 for £4 on eBay!). The only one that didn't work is a proprietary Samsung multi card reader that also has a full sized USB output and HDMI out too. This isn't very surprising of course, but they're to be avoided if you see one on eBay and assume it's a generic adapter.
80 GB iPod hard drive in a cheap enclosure bought via Amazon.
1 TB 2.5" Western Digital HDD - that's right, no USB hub required, just plug it straight in. The only other portable device I've owned could power it was a Samsung tablet.
2 mega pixel boroscope (using USB Camera app in Play Store) . So useful for finding slow water leaks under the floor or peering down a spark plug hole into a cylinder!!
Micro USB DVB TV dongle, via adapter.
Keyboards and mice via an OTG adapter, including a combination media keyboard with built in trackball mouse (this usually doesn't work on my phones for some reason). The UK keyboard layout is supported via settings so you can have a £ key - woohoo!
Other phones! I plugged my old phone in and discovered I could mount it in MTP mode and then browse its contents from the built in file explorer. For what it's worth, the Oneplus even charges the device that's connected to it.
When you need to eject the device there's a button that appears in the notification area. Sometimes this gets obscured, so swipe down a second time and the 'eject' will appear.
I haven't tried any game controllers yet, but so far the support has been so comprehensive I don't see why there would be a problem.
In the attached photo, the only thing that doesn't work is the black coloured multi purpose card reader on the far right.
In quick toggles you can add an otg switch.
You don't have to go in settings that way to enable otg.

Thanks, for some reason that just didn't work for me unless I went into settings/advanced as well. I can't recall which firmware I was on at the time and I haven't tried since The quick toggles are so far away for my little hands too (please Oneplus add a Xiaomi one handed mode - in fact, make it EXACTLY like Xiaomi devices).
LOL, typical, now it does work for me! I was probably pressing flight mode by mistake or something.
Just FYI, I've tried the following USB DACs with an OTG cable on my 5T and they appear to work:
- Fiio E17
- Meridian Explorer (v1)
- Audioquest Dragonfly (v1)
I just discovered my old Saitek X35/X36 throttle/joystick combo works too! That's a first for one of my Android devices too. Now I need something fun to test it with

Has anyone gotten USB sound cards to work *for recording*.
Like I have a Terratec Aureon USB MkII and would like to livestream my DJ sets to Facebook via the FB app, by hooking up the line-out on my decks to the line-in on a soundcard hooked up to my phone and have the streamed video use the soundcard instead of the internal mic which sounds rubbish.
Edit: Tried it, and yes it works, but you have to hook up to the mic port, not the line in, and this doesn't seem like a great idea. Any idea how to change it?
Edit2: Scratch that, phone rebooted itself during a longer test

That would be so cool if you can get it working. Wonder if it's the phone or the Terratec? I have NO experience in that area. Good luck! How much power does it draw? Would a powered USB hub in the mix help?
Hadn't thoughtof the power draw issue.
What I really need is a super cheap low power USB line-in of some sort. Though after further testing, FB live streaming is crap, with low quality audio and video in all the configurations I tried (Android app, Win10+Firefox, Win10 app) so I'm probably going to abandon this plan and try a different platform like Youtube or something.
Just cant get otg to work in my device, I am on OOS 4.7.5, rooted with SuperSu, tried a type c to micro USB adapter, also a type c to USB 3.0 adapter, I have enabled the otg option in advanced settings before plugging in the devices, I don't know whether its the phone or the adapter I use, what kind of adapter did you buy, is it a type c 3.1 to micro USB 2.0/ USB 3.0, could you provide me with a name of the adapter.

I have the following USB OTG adapters.
2 X micro USB to full sized USB (the long type with a two inch cable).
1 X mini micro USB adapter that is tiny.
1 X micro USB adapter (bigger than above)
1 X USB C OTG adapter with micro SD card reader built in.
All of the above work. In the case of the micro USB OTG adapters, I'm using a USB C to Micro USB adapter (they're tiny, about 2 CM long).
In short, every USB OTG adapter I've put in it works. All are unbranded, generic adapters that I've bought from Amazon or eBay. I've never had to do anything more than enable OTG in settings.
Could it be something to do with the ROM you're using?
In the attached photo, the ones with a yellow Mark are micro USB OTG adapters. The one with a red mark is a USB C multi card reader (built in USB OTG). The one with a blue mark is a USB C to Micro USB adapter.

Sadly what you're doing is way beyond anything I've tried. I'm happy when I can get card readers and stuff to work
I vaguely recall reading about specifications for the older micro USB ports on phones and what type of power output they supported - not all were equal. For example, there were a bunch of Samsung phones and tablets that could power hard drives without needing a powered USB hub inline. Similarly, some could power an MHL connection to a TV without the adapter being plugged into a charger like most phones that supported MHL had to. I've forgotten the name for these specs, but presumably USB C is exactly the same and it'll be online somewhere. No idea what your Terratec draws or if that could be the problem - if our phones can spin a 1 TB hard drive then perhaps it's not an issue, I was just clutching at straws.
Good luck!

4.7.4 Stock. Stock recovery too (not rooted either).
USB OTG worked on stock 4.7.2 as well.
Working fine for me, stock, custom roms etc. Use a cableconnection usb/otg cable 6" in length. Just enable OTG in the swipe down, plus USB stick in...no problems.
I gave up on using the phone for this because the audio quality via the FB app is terrible anyway, so I nicked my GF's Windows laptop and started using OBS for streaming instead.
Power aside, it's awesome that an external sound card will work (kinda) for recording though!.

Best portable setup I have ever experienced (Samsung DEX)

I would like to share with you my setup which is like a dream come true. I have always imagined that one day I'll have single device that I will use throughout the whole day and now it finally is possible.
I bought an opened box HP Elite X3 Lap Dock of Ebay for 230 AUD in a pristine condition for my Galaxy Note 10+ (European, Exynos). Affter I have received it I had some trouble to connect my phone to the Lap Dock - the original HP cable was missing and the one from Samsung did not work. I finally figured it out - It has to be a USB C cable that will allow video transmission, quick data and power transfer - to sum up it has to be at least USB 3.1 Gen 1 that provides 5 Gb/s, 5V, 3A (Gen 2 provides 10 Gb/s). I bought https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01GGKYT7M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and viola it works!
It is almost a perfect solution - I have been able to switch from Windows laptop instantly, I have prepared a whole lecture with PowerPoint on this setup, I use it from time to time for gaming (love the PSP games and bluetooth controller). All is extremely compact, premium made and useful. The whole set combines: Galaxy Note 10+, HP Elite X3 Lap Dock, Amazon USB C cable, 8Bitdo, Samsung 45Watt Charger, and couple of extras like additional HDMI cable with micro HDMI adapter, USB C to A cable, USB C hub with HDMI, 2 x USB and USB C sockets and foldable bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. All of these fit well in a 11 inch Apple Macbook Air neoprene bag
Connecting the HP Lapdock to the TV with HDMI (using HDMI to Micro-HDMI adapter) and then connecting phone wirelessly with it allows to display on TVs without Miracast.
In order to get regular size font while using DEX I am utilizing MacroDroid macros: Receive Notification DEX App - Change system font to 1.2 and Remove Notification DEX App - Change system font to 0.8 (my default)
The known issues are:
1. Lap Docks speakers does not work - I had to change in settings of DEX and in Developer Settings not to route sound via USB and now when connected sound is played from the phone
2. Touchpad buttons are not recognized - it works perfect other than that (gestures, zooming, scrolling, two fingers for right button)
UPDATE
Audio via lapdock speakers works! - in order to make it work just plug in the phone to the lapdock without turning it on and then turn it on by holding battery button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds until it boots. When its on in volume panel chose play via display device and enjoy B&O sound.
There is a bad news too - after updating to Android 10 the touchpad is practically unusable - they have change the way it operates and now it moves incredibly fast up and down an extremely slow from left to right - the only option is to use the phone as touchpad which luckily is very good.
The new whole set consists of:

Updated, matured setup:
I can't get my Aussie exynos to work unfortunately.
You have to turn of lapdock first, give it a 10 sec after it has booted than connect it with a usb c 3.1 gen 2 cable (a short one, cables longer than 1 meter seems mot to work) and it should be fine. I am using a 50 cm UGreen cable, sometimes it is required to hard reset the lapdock when it does not pair properly by holding the power button for 10 sec.
An Update:
Finally audio via lapdock speakers works - in order to make it work just plug in the phone to the lapdock without turning it on and then turn it on by holding battery button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds until it boots. When its on in volume panel chose play via display device and enjoy B&O sound.
There is a bad news too - after updating to Android 10 the touchpad is practically unusable - they have change the way it operates and now it moves incredibly fast up and down an extremely slow from left to right - the only option is to use the phone as touchpad which luckily is very good.
Maybe we can send a request to Samsung to fix the problem with the touchpad because we are many users with it.
Anyone with the tab s (5e or 6). Can check if having same problem?
Thanks
Can you please check underneath your Lap Dock what the model number is?
E.g. V8H07UT#ABA or Y1M47EA#ABH, etc.
I am having the latter also with a European Exynos Note 10+ and I can't it to fully connect (no display).
Thanks!
I bought the HP Lap Dock V8H07UT#ABA for my Note 10+ Exynos (Portugal) and was never able to have it work. I bought many different cables but didn't change a thing. The same cables used to connect my Tab S4 (Snapdragon) to the HP Lap Dock worked flawlessly.
So you are very lucky to have a working setup!
Ok, I got seriously lucky.
Found the mainboard of the V8H07UT#ABA online, and it arrived today.
Replaced the mainboard of my Y1M47EA#ABH with it, and I now have a working Lap Dock with my European Exynos Note 10+. Happy camper here!

What kind of USB-C cable are you using? The one that comes with the Lap Dock or another brand? Is Developer Mode enabled ? Thanks.
Currently I am using a cable from Ugreen witch has a proper length and is very well made https://m.pl.aliexpress.com/item/32...detail&spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.307e3c00rTzEtg&mp=1
It also fits in nicely with a magnetic usb c adapter that I have attached to my lapdock https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32985884761.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dZXuZyS
Just now I have found one strange thing - I have change the cable I used with and older one which was working fine and now it did not - what did fix this issue was switching the ends of the cable the end that was going into lapdock went to phone and vice versa. I know it should not make any difference since these cables are reversible but it did mabye that will help somebody.
Well, now we got wireless dex!
Upgraded set, now based on Nexdock Touch - https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/jp7940/my_perfect_mobile_dex_setup_completed/
I am trying to make the Lapdock work with LG V30 - wirelessly I have succeded to make connection as a secondary screen - so the phone screen is projected to the lapdock.
Now I want to be able to use the keyboard and touch pad: I use a ugreen PD100W cable and I can get the notification on the phone that external kb, mouse and sound is detected. no image goes to the lapdock screen. Sound does though on both LG and HP elite x3.
I think the cable might be to blame...
I tried then to connect wirelessly - I can get the image on the lapdock, the kb even works, but I cannot open apps, no mouse is detected (touchpad does not work) Sound too.
Do I need a cable that says 4k on it?
lapdock 1 P/N - Y4T07AA£ABA
lapdock 2 P/N - Y1M47EA£ABU
I bought one then another hoping to make it work, but they have similar behauviour - when connectd via cable, the screen go dark blank, but I can see that it actually works, just a black picture is displayed
Also, anyone knows what is the difference between lapdock models above?
