Guys,
I have a CM802 Android 2.2 tablet that I would like to support external USB devices. My problem right now is that the default ROM doesn't seem to have USB host drivers, and I have no idea where to look. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
I don't know your hardware, but your android version should have no support for both usb host mode and USB otg. If you upgrade and hardware is ready, maybe. But very likely you'll need the kernel USB modules sources and a dev to compile them especially for that build. That's why on my se xperia x10 such feature is still missing ...
The hardware has support for it, and I don't care what version of Android I end up with, as long as there's support. I also don't mind installing them myself, but would like some direction as to where to find the modules.
have you tried going to the manufactures website?

You will need to compile a proper kernel with support for it. There have been a few on the site that have done it for a few devices but it is not an overly popular mod
Well, I have just seen a site where they sell the android 2.3 version of the same device which seems to have the USB otg support. In any case, the first step must be one upgrading at least to android 2.3...

the kernel would have been made to support it on that device. After building 2.3 from android source code I can say that it is not there by default.
Thanks, I agree that is not supported by default but maybe they had actually patched a kernel with those modules, though such kind of sites are not very reliable...

Can you guys link me to the modules or whatever? Again, I'm perfectly willing to build the kernel from source myself, as long as I can have a little direction.
Any help? Links, information, tutorials.. whatever you can give me would be awesome, Internet <3.
Oh, and sorry for the double post.
I have a couple of generic Android tablets, one based on the Allwinner A10 chipset and the other based on Rockchip RK3066. With both tablets I was able to get hold of a build of xpad.ko, the Xbox controller driver for wired and wireless Xbox controllers, and with a little jiggery-pokery they both work pretty well with supported apps.
However for my SGS2 I have searched high and low for a build of xpad.ko that will work with the stock 4.1.2 rom I have on the phone and I can't find anything.
Does anyone know of a standalone download of xpad.ko I could use, or a kernel I could flash with it baked in? I really don't want to flash a whole new ROM though, I'm pretty happy on stock.
Kind regards
Dave
FWIW my USB OTG support seems to be working fine, I tried with a USB keyboard and mouse and a pendrive and all seems to be well.
I was wondering if this device has ever gotten OTG capabilities through a custom Rom or Kernel...if so...please direct me to the proper links...thank you.
Hi Guys,
Not sure where to ask this but would it be possible to patch the following in one of the kernels for RN3 Kate?
Im trying to use NXLoader,but apparently it doesn't support it because it has an EHCI controller, not XHCI.
Apparently this can be done,but i have no idea how to do it
"not patch to xhci, simply patch ehci to behave the way we want it to.
https://github.com/fail0verflow/shofel2/blob/master/linux-ehci-enable-large-ctl-xfers.patch"
Thanks for all the help
Even I am trying to use NXLoader to send payload to my Switch. I even tried Rekado (another app) and it has the same issue. Here's what the creator of the app had to say...
@aKMTR not patch to xhci, simply patch ehci to behave the way we want it to.
https://github.com/fail0verflow/shofel2/blob/master/linux-ehci-enable-large-ctl-xfers.patch
You will need to recompile your kernel to do this most likely, although I did write a "hotpatch" script for desktop linux systems: https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/41b12362cc4d8c539dc441d75155f2e9
I can't really help you from here. but if you do figure it out please document what you did so others can follow along.

Current, I am on latest global stable stock MIUI on RN3. I can upgrade to any rom if it supports this modification.
Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply.
I've been told that installing a custom kernel and then adding a script to it can help. Can some devs of a kernel help us with this, please.
Edit: I just tried out Rekado on my wife's Honor 7X phone (which also has Micro USB port) and it just worked. It's a brand new phone and has no root, etc.
Does anyone know which if any of the GSIs will support USB OTG and charge at the same time? I am trying to run OctoPrint and the stock firmware doesn't allow it.
that would more likely be kernel related, maybe you can ask one of the kernel devs to implement this.
