I have come agross a fwe threads that say that it is possible to use any standard USB aircard on our g-tablets, however to save battery and reduce filesize of the ROM's that ability has been stripped. Does anyone know which ROMS are tested with 3g cards or found a way to re-enable it?
Time to read before posting ( and than post in the right section)
To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been done yet. However, just yesterday somebody seems to have retrofitted support into the Toshiba Folio 100 (another Tegra 2 tablet). Their patch won't work as is, but with a bit of work, it should be adaptable to our ROMs. See here for the curious: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914350 Obviously, don't try flashing that, it appears to contain a boot.img with a kernel for the Folio 100, which you don't want to use. I'm guessing one of our kernels built with PPP/CHAP/etc. support in it, combined with their system binaries and a hacked up Settings.apk would do the trick.
Moved to general
Yes please, I need this. Who do I have to bribe!

has anyone been able to accomplish this? i've a zte mf 110 coming soon and i need to be able to hook it to my gtab asap. devs, i'll pay to get this done. PM me with quites. thank you very much
I have a serious question. Can the Evo 3d usb host. Im currently waiting to receive my OTG cable and will soon test this. I know the new SG II supports it, but I cant find any info on if the evo 3d will. Would love to connect a flash drive or mouse to my phone.
Yeah I would love to able to do this ass well
There's a rom in the Dev section think it does USB host. Will post back with name

Its called HTC evo 3dxe
Let us know. Although, I think it has much to do with the device. Something to do with a chip in the phone which also supplies power to the usb you plug in.
Just got the cable and it s official, the OtG cable does not work for the evo 3D. So dissappointed. Piece of s*%#. My quest is over and it was short lived. My dreams shot down. Unless this is a feature that can somehow be unlocked.
Incredible. I thought this would be a hot topic. Seems like I'm the only one interested in this. Or maybe I'm in the wrong section.
I've been wondering about this since the og evo days, I hope someone can shed some light on it. AFAIK its a kernel issue. But I could be wrong.

First this is hardware issue and only second is the kernel - only people using other ROM's than stock one can check the USB OTG feature.

i wish there were some answers already, i want to use this feature to use the DSLR controller app for my Evo3d
Is this what the kernel guru Chad Goodman is talking about here?

Don't give up so fast, theAndroidOSX "TRINITY 2.5 Rom" & Chad's "Anthrax kernel" together enable the OTG usb host feature. Chad has confirmed it's working !!
I'm wondering if the USB device would need to be self powered or if the Evo 3D would provide power through the port.

I have both, and I couldn't get it to work.
my latest A-series kernels support this 100% -- confirmed by atleast 20 people
B-series was a work in progress (worked for some, but not others)
working on it now for RLS2 of my new GPL compliant kernel

device should have external power supply .. power over the 3D's USB port dont work as good as it should.
(im actually using a USB keyboard on my 3D to type this message)
This is a feature that I am really excited about and would like to get working. Does anyone know of any videos of someone using the USB Host mode on an EVO 3D?
Is there a ROM that already has the proper kernel baked in that you guys can recommend?
For those that have USB host working - does it allow you to connect an NTFS formatted drive for files above 4GB?
USB Host and a home screen with landscape mode are two things I'd really want - though I assume the second feature is limited to the non-Sense roms.

I think you need to use one of Chad Goodman's kernels. Last I knew of, it was hit or miss. He is still working on the development of this, in his newer releases. But I think the trinity ROM by androidosx had this working for some.
The only landscape sense Rom I know of right now, is The Express port that's in beta. Platypus is the Dev working on it. It's a nice port, but the bugs are still being worked out of course. If you use an alternative launcher, you can have landscape anytime you want.

would a powered usb hub work? so we could use a mouse, keyboard and maybe an HDD at the same time?
Would the EVO3D draw power from the hub?
hey guys i really wanna use the USB HOST on my EVO 3D
currently using LeeDroid 3D V5.3.0 with AnthraX-Shooteru Kernel but cant use the OTG USB
can some1 suggest wat i can use to make it work
m a EVO 3D GSM user
I was reading this article http://bit.ly/o1fK41 and this user was able to play games on his phone with his PS3 controller.
I downloaded the Sixaxis Compatibility Checker to see if the Rezound was compatible or not. I tried a few times, doesn't seem the Rezound is one of them, maybe I did something wrong, but I don't think I did. I'm thinking it has something to do with Sense? Hopefully once we have a working ICS ROM, I can try this particular app again.
Until then I was wondering if anyone knows of an alternative application or way around this? I was going to try and do with my Kindle Fire, but I forgot my KF doesn't have BT. I've downloaded a bunch of PSX games, would love to play them.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!
I second that, can't wait to use my ps3 controller with modern combat 3....I used to use my ps3 controller with my Evo, I'm guessing it only works with AOSP Roms?

Important - Due to the non-standard protocol that the controllers use to communicate with the host, this application requires root access. Additionally, it is incompatible with most HTC devices and some newer Samsung devices. This is due to the required bluetooth protocol not being implemented on these devices. We are actively looking into a work around, but currently the only solution is to install a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, that supports the required protocols.

I used this all the time on my Bionic for SNES ROMs and it is one of the main reasons I am waiting for an AOSP ROM. As for other solutions, I haven't found any yet.
It looks like ics is the only way to get it to work on the rezzy. Hopefully it isn't to much longer until we see 4.0.3.
Until then maybe I can use my PS3 controller on my PC? I've been trying to figure out how to play my PSX roms on Win7, having a really hard time trying to figure out how to use this emulator, having a lot of problems! hmmm...

Nah, doesn't seem to work with ICS... well the ICS RC with cleanROM at least. I just tried today.
It's probably the same reason why Wii controller stuff doesn't work on Sense ROMs. I'm not even going to pretend like I fully understand it, but the tl;dr version is that Sense doesn't have a bluetooth stack that is compatible with the controllers, but AOSP does. And no, there's not a way to get it to work with Sense at this point in time.
It has to set up when compiling the kernel.

Got it running on my PC, laptop, and netbook. Shoot me a PM if you need a hand, but i've used ePSXe, PCSX2, Dolphin, all using DS3 Tool for the PS3 controller. Initial setup can be a pain, their docs and wikis are great helps.

It has to do with the bluetooth stack that HTC chose to insert in their ROM vs the bluetooth stack that comes with AOSP Android. We had the same problem on the Galaxy S. Samsung used a different bluetooth stack in their touchwiz UI. Until HTC and Samsung use a bluetooth stack that has the right protocol it wont work.
Has nothing to do with the kernel.

Is it really necessary to act like a child when someone clears up a question? His post was right. Yours was wrong. Accept it graciously and grow up. The Rezound forum is feeling like a daycare because of exactly this kind of BS.
Look buddy I don't mind I was wrong. I also don't mind being corrected. But just don't be an ass about it. So whatever I gave him a light tap. Thanks for being the android police the community really needs you.

It is not JUST the bluetooth stack, if it were, you could just replace the bluetooth stack from AOSP into a rom that it doesnt work in (sense, touchwiz), but it does not work. Sense itself disables many of the protocols for non-standard bluetooth types, why ill never know. They fixed it on i believe the sensation or something by making a custom kernel and now they can use the Wii remote in sense. Its nowhere simple in anyway. Of course, if we had AOSP, it would work out of the box and no hassle involved.
Hello. I'm relatively new to the Cyanogenmod scene in general, so forgive me if I'm a bit ignorant. I looked through the official CM10.1 threads and didn't see much in the way of actually fixing MHL/HDMI not working. I think I read that the last snapshot that had MHL working was back in February or so, but I don't remember exactly.
I'm currently running cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2 and have no MHL/HDMI at all. The phone doesn't seem to notice I've plugged in the adapter (except for it notices it's being charged, since the adapter is connected to an AC adapter).
Could someone inform me if there's been developments to fix this issue? Any insight is appreciated!
I had the same issue with my before car wrecked EVO LTE. I ran CM and many sense roms before basically giving up on it. Went through 2 cheap eBay adapters that worked for a bit then stopped altogether. Then the mhl/hdmi wouldn't work at all, not on any adapter or tv.
I asked a lot of other users if they had the same issue, even tried to pay a dev to look into it and was basically told it was a hardware issue.
My solution was to usb phone to Xbox for movies and use bluestacks on my pc for games/apps. Haven't yet tried my replacement EVO LTE. My original was a pre-order held up @ customs, so maybe it was faulty workmanship just bc it was new.
Hope u come up w a solution.

Are there any large differences between running CM10.1's stock kernel and Komodo Kernel? I am not entirely sure what exactly different kernels entail.
Yes with Komodo you can use swipe gestures to wake your phone or put it to sleep, also lover/increase the volume and advance power menu, etc, plus you can overclock and increase zram, etc etc etc... make a nand and flash komodo... good luck!

Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a read.
So I bought this OTG cable because I didn't do much research and saw that it worked with the Evo LTE. Problem is, all videos were of AOSP. Is there a Sense Rom/kernel that supports OTG? I want to have a bigger screen to work my camera with for video. This seemed like the cheapest way to do so. Any info would be great. Thanks
I'm pretty sure that all the sense ROMs will support this feature.

I did get that working. I've been researching a little more, and it looks like OTG host controller needs to be active? I think this is something in the kernel, and I haven't found much for Sense roms. I tried AOSP earlier, and cm10.1 didn't work either. I'm still pretty confused what exactly needs to be activated

You are correct. I tried messing with it a little bit too, but I didn't try any of the custom Kernels. You can check a couple of them to see it they work. When I checked the threads I couldn't find any info about the host controller being enabled, so I didn't even mess with it. Plus I have a Nexus 7 that it does work on, so I use that instead.
Meanbean has the option to activate a Xbox controller using the otg, you have to enable it with the sticky settings zip... It might help with what you are trying to do...

Thanks for all the replies. What I've found, for AOSP, is Deck's CM10.1 kernel works perfect. All the other tangents of CM10.1 have modified kernels or different ones, and those don't seem to work. I don't know how to extract his kernel and flash over other roms, but I think that might work. I'm not really sure how kernels work other than for OC and UV.
Sense roms allow OTG with everything except the DSLR thing. I think it's due to not having host controller abilities. I gave up on Sense Roms after seeing that CM had this working. I guess I'm stuck now with CM10.1. It's not terrible, but I like the AOKP and Paranoid tweaks if I'm on AOSP. For now, I will survive. Anyone who knows about kernels could probably help figure out what's in Deck's kernel that's not in other variations.
Thanks again everyone
Ok so I'm back after digging more. It looks like they got this feature working via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244620&highlight=dslr on the HTC One. The kernel removes the whitelist for OTG and that allows more devices to be connected. I compared the code to the ElementalX and saw it was exactly the same code. While comparing them, I noticed one difference.
ElementalX has:
drivers/usb/core/otg_whitelist.h
arch/xtensa/configs/iss_defconfig
tbaldens kernel3.6:
drivers/usb/core/otg_whitelist.h
arch/xtensa/configs/iss_defconfig
AND
arch/arm/configs/m7_defconfig
I don't know much about how kernels work, but I compared the source for both and they were identical except for not having that last file. Maybe someone who does can help? I figured the 2 devices are similar enough to compare, should I maybe ask flar2 or TeaMSeven?
Just wanted to give an update. I've found a solution to the problems and actually got a solid ROM and the features i needed.
The problem is the 3.14 cm kernel that everything is based off of, at least for our device. I'm currently on PAC v22 rom , which is 3.07 based. The otg works properly and everything runs smooth. Of course its not latest and greatest, but works.
I have another thread about gif MMS on aosp ROMs. I also got that working now via hand cent and quick pic. So anyone trying to switch to aosp from sense, there are ways to get the features, just gotta do a lot of trial and error.
Thanks again to all the advice. I cant remember who suggested mean ROM, but the Xbox setting didn't work. Seems sense ROMs don't play well with anything other than USB flash drives and mouse/keyboards.
