Is it possible to use the micro USB audio connector for audio? After rooting, the audio application of the android does not recognize the mp3 files to play. Why not let it do so?
I think that would require USB host mode like on the Samsung galaxy. I think that means needing extra hardware doesn't it? -otherwise I would expect every phone to be capable of it
edit: It is possible but you can fry stuff. Info on NookColor forum
USB host = great possible enhancement?
I wanted to post to proper thread, however I am new here I was not allowed to post on developers forum. So I hope that this post will still somehow find its way there. It also includes your original question.
Since some USB features are now claimed to be working, I wanted to ask directly poping out questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21669750
Is it possible to...
1.) disable on-screen keyboard while using USB one?
2.) connect USB soundcard like: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-X2X&cats=121&catid=121%2C136%2C134
To allow listening mp3, Skype calls.... ?
3.) connect USB Ethernet card like: http://www.usbgear.com/205528.html
4.) to connect other cool usb stuff like: GSM, printers ... whatever
thanks you developer guys, I hope I'll once manage some time to learn more about the system and developement so that I could contribute too !
thanks to androind and nook simple touch creators!

Currently the answer to all of the above is no
The USB host mode patch was done for a specific project (USB keyboard support) and while I have been spending some time playing around with Bluetooth I'm not aware of any other dev(s) working on expanding this atm.
Stuff like audio, networking and Bluetooth requires _a_lot_ more than just the kernel accepting to communicate with the device.
thats shame. allowed skype calls would be great
Skype calls are working on my nook with OTG + USB audio card on usb host mode. But it is a bit difficult ))).
To update these older posts:
Yes, it is possible to disable the soft keyboard when using a USB keyboard.
See NullKbd in the signature.
Yes, Skype works fine.

Where is the difficulty?
Do a logcat and look for overruns and errors.
There were a few mods done to make Skype work.
so an external usb sound card is working?
Yes, an external USB audio adapter can work.
As a portable solution it's a bit cumbersome.
I don't know what current they usually draw, but my cheapy one draws 75 mA.
A desktop solution with powered hub (charging the Nook), a USB adapter and speakers works fine.
Would USB headphones work directly on that port? I have USB OTG cable and some USB sound card somewhere so I can check with regular 3.5mm jack headphones without trouble when I find some time to do it but I just wonder if anyone tried USB headphones on it and what they think of it. Is it worth of a hassle to buy one for NST?
Some USB devices use a multiplexor on the USB micro connector and can send actual analog audio down the connector.
Many Androids support USB host mode and can support an audio USB adapter, including the ones that go for < $10.
The NST (earlier Nooks with OMAP processors) don't have complete software support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glows (later Nooks with IMX processor) don't have complete software or hardware support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glow4 (7.8") has audio.
Hi,
I'm trying to get a usb camera works on xperia sola. I started from the beginning (I'm not a modder) so for first downloaded and compiled ics kernel from source 6.1.1.B.1.54. Added UVC camera supports on menuconfig. several test several fail, but at the end I'm able to flash an boot my kernel. First problem is power consumption over usb OTG, got a usb powered hub, gone. Now I've 3 UVC webcam Microsoft HD-3000, Logitech C270 and an Acer Crystal Eye from a notebook with soldered usb cables. All cameras works on linux and on windows and also are listed on uvc compliant list.
I can't get working Anyone can help me? Anyone done some similar work? I missed some step?
Thanks a lot
I don't know if anybody can help me with this problem but I'd appreciate if anybody could, as I have 2 Asus HD7 Memopad (ME173x) tablets running identical to each other, same settings, same software, etc. I have a powered hub in an OTG cable connected to one of my tablets. When I hookup my Canon point and shoot digital camera to the hub, one of the tablets sees it acknowledges it pops up a window saying what program should I use for this USB device either Asus Gallery or the Asus studio or the Google camera importer, and everything works fine.
I unplugged the OTG cable from that tablet and plug it into my other tablet and I get nothing what so ever, nothing pops up. but I know its not a problem with the USB port on that second tablet because when I plug in a flash drive into it and load up the OTG helper I can see the flash drive with no problem using ES file manager. I just can't seem to get the camera to read on that tablet.
so I plug the OTG cable back into the other tablet and boom it pops up the pop up again and it works. I compared settings on both tablets and they're all the same settings identical. I don't remember what I did if I did anything to the first tablet to make it work.I think I just plugged it in and it worked.
I appreciate any help somebody can give me to figure out why the second tablet is doing this? If I have a setting that I need to do I like to know what it is or maybe I forgot a step that I did on the first one I can't remember thank you for your help I appreciate it.

Problem solved, problem solved! I solved the problem, problem solved! haha
I ran the app called USB host diagnostics on the the second tablet that was giving me the problem. It fixed the problem I then looked at the first tablet as I seen the program looked familiar. It was already installed on the first tablet and I remember running it before and well as you know both tablets are working.
Is it possible in anyway to connect android phone to an external touchscreen
And using the external screens touch capabilities / creating a realy huge "tablet"
i found out that for example my htc one x(m8) supports mhl so i def could
mirror the display with a mini usb to hdmi adapter.
but i dont think the touch signal will be send thru same cabel / protocol.
has anyone directions or ideas ?
Did you ever get anywhere with your project?
I too are looking to do this.
Hi all
With my Galaxy S6, when I connect my USB arcade stick via an OTG cable I can use it for everything (menu's, emulator's etc) - however with both my Z2 tablet and Z3, it powers the device (buttons are illuminated ones) but doesn't let me do anything with it!
Is this an Xperia specific thing that only allows a USB controller to be used on certain android games? If so, how do I get around this? Tried loads of USB control apps but nothing has worked... need this to work for an acrade project!
Cheers,
