Multiple WiFi Cards - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile a Kernel with support for the Alfa AWUS036H, with the rtl8187 driver.
My question is: will android support my configuration? I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I have the USB OTG, and now with "dmesg" I can see my card connected, even if I does not have any driver, so.... Is it possible to have multiple wifi cards attached to my phone?
Thanks!

I can tell you from having a webtop phone that hardware the kernel supports, but android does not have the interface for, worked under ubuntu webtop (a chroot environment) when there was an ubuntu interface (ptp, usb video, drawing pads for example).
I think the problem you will have is that there is no interface to choose between multiple devices of the same kind for devices when android only expects to have one.
Cheers!

Uhm....ok, so i have to use a command line tool like iwconfig TO manage the second wifi card...right?
And I have to compile it for android too

[Q] Receive the XBOX360, PS3 and Wii Video on android devices when the device is plug

I'm making an app which can display any consoles with usb ports on the android device (when this one is plugged in). If you have an idea for API 10 (GingerBread)at least. it'll be helpful .
It'll be more cool if you have an idea for API 8 (Froyo). How To Stream a console display to the app? I'm on eclipse java.
THANXSS!!!!!
I must admit that i'm quite inexperienced with java and programming in general.. but i think that you have to deal with drivers that actually shouldn't exist. You have to build a new kernel for this specific app I think
Edit: i think that you can't do it because consoles don't have drivers.. and their operating system is closed source so you can't do anything so weird

ok thanks for answer
but have you an idea just for record the console video?
Maybe you can deal with the HDMI port if your phone have it but you have already to build your own driver. I'm so sorry about that but I'm not a dev and sincerely I haven't idea how the code could be

You could (re-)write a driver for a USB Video Grabber and load it as a kernel Module.
These devices have an RCA input for Composite Video and USB. (They cost ~10$)
But you'll need a very fast processor in your phone/tablet, also root acess and USB Host.

Ubuntu on Android for S3

Hey guys,
does anyone know when cannonical release ubuntu for android for the custom community?
i found a lot if toturials for ubuntu for S3, but i can´t find the cannoical solution, like the ubuntu GUI over hdmi output.
The most solutions runs with a remote access via phone.
i´m interessted in the cannonical solution, because i can connect an bluetooth mouse and keyboard and use the phone like a pc on tv.

[Q] Making USB Gamepads work

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure...
What is required in the Android OS to support USB Gamepads?
I have purchased an Android TV Box from Chinavasion (http://www.chinavasion.com/china/wh...xt_-_DNLA_Miracast_Dual_Core_CPU_4x_USB_HDMI/) which has 4 USB ports. While it's mostly going to be used to watch TV, I thought it might be nice to play a few games on it.
I can plug keyboards and mice into it and they work just fine. But gamepads don't work at all. I understand that from honeycomb gamepads are supposed to be supported natively so I guess there must be something missing in the firmware?
I have installed USB Device Info app. The gamepads are not listed in the "Android" tab, but do show up in the Linux tab (though to be fair, the same is true of the keyboard and mouse).
Any ideas?
anybody?
well only some aps support gamepads natively. like dead trigger. but for all other apps there is six axis. you have to be rooted to use it but i love it. google it if you want to learn more about it an how to use it.
---------------------
Give me a thanks if i helped
Lg Lucid running Cm10
w/ Cm10 Kernel
Asus Tf700 running Cromi-X 4.6.5
w/ Max's v4 kernel
OK it appears that I need to find a working joydev.ko for my device which I can then start with insmod
Apparently this device is bassed on an allwinner chipset.
The Model number is A18_VGA-20
The Android version is reported as 4.2.2 (though I'm not sure this is accurate)
The firmware revision is BOX_20130425
The Kernal version is 3.3.0
and the Build Numer is wing_A18_VGA-eng 4.2.2
With that information am I able to go about locating the source and compiling the module myself?

Thanks but that appears to be for bluetooth controllers only. My device doesn't have bluetooth.

[Q] Devices that can do video and USB host at the same time

Hi! I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to develop a software solution that requires the Android phone to be able to output video and be a USB host at the same time. But, after looking into a couple Android devices (Nexus 5 & Samsung S4), I found that I cannot do video and USB hosting on a Android phone at the same time. I wonder if this is a common design in Android phone world? Is this based on Google's reference design for Android? Thank you!

DeX with Linux

Hi there, I'm thiniking of DeX with Linux. Are anyone using Linux with DeX? How it's your experience with?
I work with Ubuntu and I'm thinking about buy a DeX and switch off my notebook, what you think about it?
Thanks!

Still nothing... I hoped it would be out along with Note 9,but still silence from Samsung
Dex on Linux. Experience
I have the basic version of note 9.
I bought two different setups for testing:
- HDMI - USBC cable + Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth mouse
- HDMI with USBC port + 2 USB normal ports to connect a wired mouse and keyboard.
I have also at home two 4k tvs that I use as monitors: A 39inch seiki and a 41inch curved Samsung. Both working at 4k with my mac book Pro and my Ubuntu pc
Connecting any of the screens to my note using any of the devices gives me only 1080p. After researching, this is a software limitación. Somebody checked that note 9 can actually output 4k.
When you open dex, you get a desktop experience and you can execute you android apps. Not every app scales to full screen and some of them are shown as if you were runing them with an emulator.
Now dex on Linux. I got the invite and I installed the app. When you launch it in your phone, it asks you download an image (imagine docker) that's is a 4Gb zip that becomes a 10Gb unzipped .img file.
Application asks you to give the container a name and select the . img file.
That is what you can do from your phone. You cannot execute the container unless you are in dex mode: dex opened in a monitor
On dex, you have to run the Linux on dex app and run any container run created before.
When you run one in about 5-10 seconds you have Ubuntu 16 running.
Default applications you get aside of the standard ones is visual studio code and intellij 2018.2 community.
I am a java guy so I launched intellij to check the speed and I was surprised how fast it launched.
I need to play more, but I would buy a higher spec note if the 4k issue was solved.
In my opinion Dex/Linux is an strategy to justify expensive phones with more hardware, because nobody needs more ram and cores if you just run phone apps. Said that I am a software professional and this use case fits perfectly with my needs
I tried to install on my s9+ but would not let me. I hope they make available for S9+. I run Linux Deploy now in chroot - but not the same. I have Dex Station which I think would be nice with Ubuntu.
Iphone 9 linex
Linex on note 9 seem good but it would be better if i could download software or even update .It won't let me do anything.Its says no plugin could handle gs_plugin_app_install.Im at a lose.
