Hello,
I'm trying to find out if any of the Custom Roms for the Streak 5 have USB support built in?
I am trying to get a USB controller to work on my Streak 5.
I have tried Longhorn, Gingerstreak and Simple Streak. My controller doesn't work with my dock (a knockoff brand), but it is certainly possible I have to have another cable. I just need to know if the ROMs have it built in.
thanks
Streakdroid 1.9.x are the only ones confirmed to usb-hosting, and it's limited on that.
DSC might have some usb hosting support, the rest definitely dont

but you will need a Dell dock, I tried USB hosting with 2 generic docks and was not successful until I purchased the Dell AV dock

Darn, that's what I was afraid of. I tried to cheap out and bought the "FOSOM" dock, that has the USB connection. It doesn't seem to do anything.
Which ROM are you using? And for what? My hope is to get this thing working with Onlive.
thanks
Does your dock have 1 or 2 different types of usb ports?
It should very least have 2 ports, and properly they should be different as one is for normal usb and 1 is for usb-hosting.
You cant do both off one port as they use different pins on the dock connector

Okay. So before I buy another dock or possibly start cutting up my cable can somebody confirm whether this build has the proper usb driver? I'm currently using DSC build 0.61b
The link to version 7 appears to be dead.
Today i was able to copy/paste files from/to my Streak/Flashdrive using my modified dell cable and a female-female usb adapter running DSC 0.7

But when i plug into computer all my phone does is says its charging
Any ideas?
Try a new USB cable I used a PSP USB cable for a while when my HTC hero USB cable stopped working properly. Just find some more USB cables and test them all.

You probably damaged the USB controller with ESD. You can try another USB port, but it's likely that all the ports are damaged (at least all the ports on that controller). Check the other ports on the PC. Most modern PCs have at least a couple of USB hubs built in. It is possible that a port on another hub or controller may work. Otherwise, you might be able to use a USB add in card in the computer if all the built-in ports are dead. They are relatively cheap if you have the slot in the machine to install one.

mount to PC is a known issue methinks. What is your current setup? Rom/kernel? and how are your settings? USB debugging set on/off? auto connect set to "ask on connection"?

Its common with the 2.2.1 roms. What you need to do is replace the vold.conf, and the vold.fstab files in system/ect. I have attached the ones you need. Just use root explorer and drop them in the ect folder, reboot, and test.

you should download toolbox from development section and the first option is to install drivers. once u run the program. install it and then test the usb cables. by the way i never charge my phone from a computer i like separate chargers so im using the charger for BB to charge my battery. its quicker as well.

gr8... actually i have one but my OTG is not working so hoping cable is faulty...
BTW I am on EU leak currently..
I'm wondering too. Don't have a cable yet, but no sense in buying one if it doesn't work.
It won't work only with OTG cable.
You need a HUB (generic USB 2.0 hub) plus a cable between the OTG and HUB that powers both the HUB and the Phone externally.

Maybe this thread helps you more as it is the original one specific to OTG cabling on GB which should work also on ICS (It would be nice if anyone could confirm this).

On the 1st post find direct link to the findings.
Have a look around or ask something if you need.
I received my OTG cable today. As has been stated previously, it works but only when run through a powered hub.

Hello all!
I've decided to finally buy myself an android, and after much deliberation, the Atrix is my choice. I just would like to clarify a few things before i bite the bullet, and actually go ahead and get it
1) Since I'm in malaysia, the only way i can get my hands on one of these is to buy an imported UK version. I know that the ATT ones come with the microHDMI cable, but does the UK retail package contain one?
2) I've read about the webtop hack, but would i be correct in assuming that i can replace the webtop linux with another OS? (i.e ubuntu, etc)
3) do any of the CM7 roms support the fingerprint reader? (i think that they won't, but clarification is always good )
4) and last but not least, CM9 supports chrome right? (stupid question, i know, but just making sure)
thanks in advance to all who reply!
You can get the AT&T Atrix of eBay its not necessary that you buy the UK model. Secondly the webtop hack is not actually a hack allowing you to run another OS but its basically a mod for the webtop.
All CM7 rom support fingerprint reader. CM9 does not support fingerprint as the offical drivers for fingerprint are not out yet. Chrome would work on CM9 as Chrome requires ICS and thats what CM9 is.
Hope this helps

alright, thanks, this helps alot! i would get it off of ebay, but shipping fees are expensive, and the set i found here in malaysia comes with the standard dock as well, so i'm thinking that it's a better idea to spring for this one.

To clarify a wee bit on the webtop, there is a webtop hack, and then there is Gentop, Ubuntop, etc., which effectively give you a full linux distro on your device. (Gentop is Gentoo, and likewise Ubuntop is Ubuntu). Both are great, and you can spend many days just messing with both of those to get the setup you want. Only thing is you have to stay with a GB ROM such as Nottachtrix to use these. MIUI, CM7 and CM9 do not support webtop. When ICS comes out, there may be no work done to remove/change webtop 3.0 and replace with a linux distro, as it appears to just be a tablet mode and not a webtop as most of use would like, or think webtop should be.
Ah i see, thanks for the clarification. Does this mean that if i do install a cm7/cm9 based rom and connect it to a tv via hdmi or the dock, the picture will just be mirrored from the phone's screen?

Generic. The samsung cable is unstable, therefore often charges too slow due to usb charger stability detection.

No brand. Generic. Bought a couple from a Market stall.
Multiple cables .
original cable use if Odin problems is old advice .

Well, I guess, those extra pins won't make a difference, coz the slot in ur S3 may have the same no of contact points as there are pins in original S3 cable..!
I use a cheap no brand one when I'm at work and the Samsung cable at home. No differences at all.

You have to have USB 3.0 and the correct drivers on your computer.
Here is why there will likely not be any USB 3.0 accessories that actually work..
The Note 3 is not capable of hosting 3.0. It would require more power to legitimately host a USB 3.0 device. Not only that, the hardware is just not capable nor are there any drivers for it in Android.
It can read and write at high speeds from a computer because the computer hosts the drivers and has the correct drivers. Only if it has USB 3.0.
Any accessories you see that say 3.0 (like OTG cables) are not really 3.0. Especially if they are not manufactured by Samsung.
