This might be far fetched, but thought I would ask anyway. With an over abundance of higher end-older android phones for cheap on sites like CL, I wonder if it is possible to run WFEMU on those phones? WVEMU is a dongle emulator used for FTA testing. The original WFEMU is made for Linux and Android is Linux based. Most of those phones also have WiFi capabilities, making it a great small wireless dongle if it is possible? I am using usb to serial with my current setup. One would only need to add usb to micro usb converter to hook to the phone (and have usb host capabilities on the phone).
Not sure if there are any FTA junkies on here, so I also posted the question on an FTA site also.
Looking forward to any thoughts and/or comments on this. Please move if this is in the wrong section.

Does anyone have specs of the Evo 3D processor to determine whether or not this might be possible in the future? My friend has stated that Android 2.3.4 has USB host built into the operating system. However, the hardware has to have that capability.
So does our processor have the capability for USB host mode, and was our micro USB wired to allow it? Anyone know for sure either way?
I'm sorry if this was brought up before, I've actually done an extensive (unsuccessful) search on the topic.
I know you can do this with honeycomb. Wouldnt see why we couldnt do it with the evo. Any devs have any idea
No one know for sure if the hardware is capable? To be honest, I consider that the only definite advantage the SGS2 has right now.
I have been searching lately and haven't found anything . Is
there a way to use a 7" Android Tablet (rooted Nook Color
running CM7 ) as a graphics tablet for pc? Such as the ones
made by Wacom where you can see what you are drawing
on the tablet and on the pc screen. I know you could
technically use a remote desktop program but that's awfully
laggy. I was hoping there may be a way to use the usb cable
to plug up the tablet to the computer and simply use it as a
editable surface to draw on .
If this is obvious, I 'm sorry. I have just been thinking about
this a lot as I currently own a Bamboo Fun tablet as well but
I' d like to see more detail on the tablet itself.
I tried iDisplay and it 's too laggy. A usb method would
be optimal and I figured since I'm rooted someone may
have figured something out ...
Also, I have USB hosting active on the tablet if thats
necessary.
I know it has come up before (about 6 months ago from my searches) and was wondering if anything has happened at all. I would prefer that I have the option of extending my screen (for entertainment) or duplicating it (for art work)
Me too
I wish I was bringing you an answers but instead, I'm asking the same question. Every few weeks I scour the web for an alternative to iDisplay, specifically something that is wired for speed. I travel over half the year and I'm in the habit of lugging a small monitor with me so I can work efficiently. I know Toshiba has a portable usb monitor...isn't there a way to make our tablet's function this way as well?
If there is anything out there to try/buy or support? I'm in. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks for putting your name on the list! I have been looking everywhere for something that could work with no luck. It doesn't seem like it should be hard to tap into the screen of a tablet through usb. Especially seeing as we have the drivers and what not.
Tapping into the monitor would be nice but to take it a step further, integration would be optimal. Such as the integration of the two touchscreens in the acer notebook. Your android device could be used as a virtual navigation device, you could use it to hold windows or play media, or you could even use it in art related programs as a drawing tablet.
It seems like there should be a bigger demand for this. I'm surprised there isn't
I've been interested in developing stuff like this for a while now, but unfortunately, I just haven't found the time to devote to such Android development.
For this to work, your PC would be acting as the USB host. The tablet would still just be a USB device connected to your PC like it always is (you would not be using your tablet as a hosting device for this). The PC would need the proper driver software (which, as noted, already exists). But software on the tablet would also have to advertise and implement additional usb profiles/protocols in order to inform the host that it has additional USB monitor/touchscreen functionality. This is the part that to my knowledge, does not yet exist. (if it does, let me know, ya'll may have done more research on this than I have)
In other words, yeah, there are drivers for a PC that know how to talk to a usb monitor/touchscreen. But on the other end there needs to be software that knows how to act as a usb monitor/touchscreen and fulfill the other half of that conversation. When you buy a usb monitor/touchscreen from Wacom or Toshiba, they're providing a device which already knows how to act and talk as a usb monitor/touchscreen. But that software is running on their device, so unless they've made some libraries available somewhere or there are some standard libraries available somewhere for this, it isn't as easy as one might think.
This might make more sense if you consider a simpler device like a usb keyboard. Your PC knows how to receive keystrokes from a usb keyboard because it has the appropriate driver software. However, if you wanted your tablet to act as a usb keyboard, you would need software on the tablet that knows how to send keystrokes over USB using the standard usb protocols/profiles.
Hope that makes sense.

It's running a modded Android 1.6. I'm just wonderign if anyone knows if it's possible to use this as a USB monitor. Or even remove the screen to mod it to be used as a USB monitor. I don't care if it's touchscreen or not.
Hey, I'm trying to find information on using a SGS2 or another handset on ethernet. I have seen a few threads relating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224660
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274656
and a few more, but all relating to tablets. The reason I need ethernet is because I plan to use one of these as a camera and image processor on a UAV. We are planning to use a 2.4GHz antenna to communicate with our ground station, so it would simplify everything if I could just implement the communication through ethernet.
My question is if all these usb-rj45 dongles with linux drivers will work on this or a similar handset. I'm fine with doing terminal tweaks to get it to work, but I'd like to know if anyone has gotten ethernet to work on a handset.
Thanks,
Santiago
Hello XDA-forum users,
I've been a fan of this forum and followed alot of guides etc.. Rooted and flashes my HTC Wildfire Buzz (A3333) to CM. Now I'm a persistent aircrack-ng user on linux platform and I know it's possible to get custom made drivers from a blog somewhere on working for some Broadcast chipsets. My phone has a Qualcomm MSM7225 / ARM1136EJ-S chipset and thus not compatible.
I've been thinking to get an external USB adapter to get monitor anyway. Now before buying it, I wanted to hear you guys out to ask if my phone will recognize it as a genuine adapter without installing any further drivers.. Also would the phone have enough battery output to supply both the phone and adapter. Last, I wanted to ask some of you that already own one to give me some tips on the "better" external usb adapters, which ones do I pick?
Thanks in advance

This may be in the wrong place but here goes...
It is 2014. AOA 2.0 and USB Audio were baked into android since 4.1 (and in for testing since 3.1 iirc!!!) , Yet even at this point the guys making In-Dash receivers have only just now made and effort to build in support for supporting android devices through USB via MTP (mass transfer protocol) which to my understanding equates to plugging in a USB flash drive, and you're at the mercy of the receivers' coded-in format and tagging support.
To my understanding AOA 2.0 would theoretically allow control over the Android device in the similar fashion as the ol' ipod. However everyone has jumped on the bandwagon of creating app communication (such as the aptly named app radio) and blue tooth integration for everything else, while still including support for the latest Apple devices
What gives. Don't they realize there is a quite sizable chunk of people out here who don't own an i-anything, don't want to own i poop, and sheesh I'l even vouch for lacking Windows phone support, which I'm sure has similar built in standards that wouldn't be all to hard to include REAL USB audio/control/support for.
I am after USB audio in the car, and feel at this point in time we shouldn't have to resort to some third party dongles or apps or even a sometimes shoddy blue-tooth connection (depending on hardware)
{I shall imagine myself tossing the idiot off a cliff who come in here and goes "der but the auxiliary...."} The point is to keep the audio in digital
form till the latest point possible before it gets to the speakers.

I have been waiting for HTC to add AOA 2.0 support but it seems like it must not be very high on their priority list. I have JVC head units in both cars but cannot use USB audio with HTC phones. Maybe having more AOA 2.0 compliant audio units will push HTC to upgrade to AOA 2.0 from AOA 1.0. In the mean time, I wonder if developers can add this to a custom kernel for the HTC one M7 and M8. Here is an interesting page on AOA 2.0: https://source.android.com/accessories/aoa2.html
Hi afreed,
Do you mind to share your JVC head units model? If i am not wrong, HTC M8 stock ROM Android 4.4.2 supports AOA 2.0.
