Is it possible to use a web cam with the cm7 rom through the usb port?
What that's called is 'usb hosting' and as of now we don't have that working, we'll get that working eventually in the new 3.x kernel but as for now it isn't supported on any roms.

Thank you for your fast reply.
I also think it would be cool to get IP Webcam support on the NT. You can use the IP Webcam app to use your Android phone as a webcam on a Linux machine, but it goes through V4L, which I don't think works for Android, sadly.

Hi there,
Has anyone figured out how to get an external USB webcam to work with the Motorola Atrix. Keyboard and mouse are possible via webtop and powered USB hub hack. How about webcam though. Assuming Atrix can go to USB host mode, external webcam should be possible. But has anyone tried?
Thanks!

As an added link, looks like webcam support for the nook has already occured, but wondering what the similarities may be.

From my understanding, we should just need the drivers. I have a cam at home I test, but I'm a complete noob with Linux, so I probably won't have any luck with installing drivers. (Though I'll certainly be looking through some of the webtop threads to see if I can figure it out. I'm sure we can find the drivers online...it's just a matter of getting them installed.)

As demonstrated by the Nook hack, Linux would support UVC compliant webcams. I beleive those drivers are running the builtin cameras as well.
I'm very new as a member and I've been trying to find a rom which will allow me to have the ability to connect a Wii controller and use tv out function. I have tried Bluez on TW based roms and understand that the Wii controller will not connect due to the bluetooth stack. On these roms the TV out function works perfectly. With CM7 I can successfully connect Wii controllers but there is as of yet as of any of the release canadates or nightlies (81) no TV out function. Is there anyone aware of a rom with both of these capabilities or can someone tell me where to offically request this ability on CM7?
I really love CM7 and have the entire process memorized to get gps working on CM7, but the lack of tv out just kills it for me. Such possibility as a portable gaming system that I don't see an opportunity to take advantage of.
I've performed searches for those combinations and have thus far yielded nothing. if somone can point me in the right direction I would be extremly greatful and I would love to support through some donations any group willing to take on the task of incorperating both in a single rom.
Not gonna happen. Just no functionality for tv out on cm7 until source is dropped for 2.3 for the T959, which is not going to happen.

Hi,
I am trying to connect an external keyboard, through micro-usb connector to the Nook Tablet, running CM7 Alpha.
On Nook Color, we have an app 'Nook Color Tweak' on Google Market, but it asks for a different kernel. Do we have anything similar for Nook Tablet with 'CM7 Alpha final' ?
Any idea, do I have to recompile a new kernel in order to deploy and connect the keyboard?

From my understanding we need usb host support.
Usb host support will probably be implemented after kernel 3.0 is out and all the bugs are gone. With this we can do just about anything with our tablets, external hdd, bluetooth and gaming controllers. kernel 3.0 is very close to completion.
One more thing if running cm7 thumb keyboard is a good keyboard while you wait for usb host.

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.

Cannonicals solution hasnt been released in any form yet, however we (is in LinuxonAndroid) are getting a Atrix shortly with HDMI out so we can work on a verion that works just the way cannonicals does
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.
