USB host mode

[Guest matcho13579]

can someone try the latest KANG if the USB Host mode is working properly? thanks in advance :)

Mouse/keyboard works, external drives don't - just like in johnsmithx's...

[Guest johnsmithx]

Actually, despite I told them not to try it yet, they did and already reported success with:

- USB flashdisk

- USB card reader

- wireless mouse (don't know whether USB or bluetooth)

- PS/2 keyboard connect to Blade via PS/2 -> USB convertor

Just FYI..

Anyway, with previous version of the kernel I had full success with all kind of accessories, so I don't really see any reason why it shouldn't work with this kernel as well.

[Guest rpetya]

Where does the flashdisk get mounted?

That would be nice feature for me but somehow I can't get it to work on any rom or with any drive....

[Guest rafalo1333]

So, is work on kernel with USB OTG in progress?

ZaTapatalkowane & WyHTC_IME'owane via ZTE Blade Supercharged ;)

[Guest johnsmithx]

//EDIT: links deleted, sorry. But at least now you know for sure it's doable and it's not a rocket science. Surely someone else will make it for you soon.

//EDIT2: the rest of the post deleted as well.

[Guest Sulthekk]

Not even sharing the source with TomG?

[Guest ejhollin]

Thanks a lot for this johnsmithx. I hope it will be integrated into a CM7 release soon.

[Guest DB_Runner]

Here is the short status report on USB Host and whatnot.

USB Host on 2.6.35 worked since the beginning ...

Great! That works perfect !

Thanks for your work

[Guest leopesto]

is there any source of the kernel?

[Guest kallt_kaffe]

Another side effect - despite didn't really trying it seems I made the kernel run faster. People reported around 7% speed increase in Quadrant Benchmark as compared to the default CM kernel. I wouldn't make a big deal of it, though, it may be just by chance.

...

As for the source codes of my changes, despite being a strong pro-OSS, this time I will not publish the sources for one reason: there are people who are trying to make profit on these things. Many of them are not even programmers, they just take a thing from here, take a thing from there, put it in a .zip file and then start begging with big "DONATE" buttons and links. I don't know what this is about, I don't understand it, I don't see beggars on the streets having cell phones and working on their laptops (if someone is begging for a money he must be a beggar, right?), I don't know why they are trying to exploit the whole OSS for their personal profit, I don't know if they are seriously ill that they cannot work as billions other people or if they are just lazy parasites, and I don't want to be part of their scheme in any way. It seems to be some weird phenomenon these years, there are even whole forums based on various dirty tricks to pull money from people pockets, it just make me sick. So I simply don't want these wise-guys to monetize on my (not theirs) work, which I have done for others for free. Oh, and if my sincerity offends those who are trying to make this very forum their cash cow, feel free to delete this post, I don't give a damn thing.

Hi, just a quick note from one of the "lazy parasites". The ~7% increased Quadrant scores likely comes from the AHB overclocking that I invented as a "dirty trick" to pull money from peoples pockets.

[Guest tcpaulh]

@johnsmithx

What you've done is impressive. It would be a shame to lose it. I don't know how many hours you put in to get everything working nicely together but i guess it was plenty.

I'm sure a lot of people would be very grateful (myself included) if we could enjoy improved power management, USB host mode, ntfs support etc

I guess such features would quickly become ubiquitous and perhaps then no single ROM packager or developer would be seen as taking advantage or be able to trade off of these features.

[Guest blackanchorage]

I don't agree with the "lazy parasites" comment. I've used some of the ROMs made available on this site, and I really appreciate all the work that's gone into them. Sometimes I'll give a few euros for that.

And I think you're misunderstanding open source - this is from Wikipedia: Stallman said that this is where people get the misconception of "free": there is no wrong in programmers' requesting payment for a proposed project. Restricting and controlling the user's decisions on use is the actual violation of freedom. In fact it looks like you're not conforming with the spirit of open source.

How did you get it working DB_Runner? What ROM are you using?

How did you get it working DB_Runner? What ROM are you using?

i use johnsmithx kernel #81, CM7, this guide or "Q5 USB Memory Manager" APP, powered usb hub, ntfs/fat sticks

BUT it works not everytime, dont know why AND it drains battery sometimes (cause no deep sleep)

[Guest Kori27]

Hy. Im a newbie but I really intrested in android os. But now 2.1 is an old os, i use Android 2.3.4 CM7 (of course on Blade), but i may update to 2.3.5... Can you write a newer modification for the newer kernel? ...may with OTG function to switch host/slave mode from the OS? Im really interested in programming, and I will learn about android os and kernel, but now I haven't the knowledge to write this. Can you help me with this kernel, or it's not possible, tell me why not?

[Guest Ganster]

Anybody have 2.6.35 kernel for CM7.2 with working OTG? I only find burstlam kernel with USB Host Function enabled. If I pplug OTG cable - port switches to host mode, but no reaction to any device(with external power of course)

[Guest Hrosik97]

Hi, is there any option for USB host on KonstaT's CM9 ROM (http://www.modaco.com/topic/355059-romgen23227-cyanogenmod-9-konstakang-android-404/)? If yes, could you please send me some "how to"?

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

Hi,

I'm trying to get a usb wifi adaptor working with my blade.

I'm looking for the kernel sources for Cyanogenmod to compile some drivers against. I've got a USB wifi device which I want to get working in a debian chroot environment.

So far, I've got lsusb in the chroot displaying my adaptor (RTL8187).

I'm using an older nightly build because I'm using Johnsmithx's usb otg patch which works on 2.6.32.9

I've downloaded the kernel sources from:

https://github.com/C...tree/2.6.32-zte

loaded them into my chroot debian, run a make oldconfig, make prepare and make modules_prepare against my running .config,

then I got the latest compat and made that gainst the sources above which seemed to work with no errors and generated the .ko files.

problem is, when I try and insmod them into my chroot, I get

insmod rtl8187.ko

insmod: error inserting 'rtl8187.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

And this in dmesg:

[Guest popoyaya]

What's the point? The Blade has built-in Wi-fi, yes!

[Guest Sulthekk]

What's the point? The Blade has built-in Wi-fi, yes!

The built in wifi isn't able to get into monitor mode, and thus, you can't hack wireless networks with it.

[Guest h4z7d]

What's the point? The Blade has built-in Wi-fi, yes!

It does, but the purpose of this is to:

• Connect a high-powered Wifi card - increaced range
  
• Utilise "monitor mode" for tools like Aircrack
  
• connect wired ethernet
  
• have the ability to compile other drivers so that it's possible to connect other perephials such as USB to Serial adaptors, usb game controllers, external screens etc.

Hi. I have Android 4.1.2 () flashed on my ZTE Blade. How can I install this USB OTG thing, please?

[Guest sonic656]

And can this thing do video out through the usb?
