It is my understanding that android natively supports usb. My question is, if I get a micro usb to usb adapter, and then plug in a usb keyboard, I would be able to use the keyboard to type documents. Any thoughts?
(I have a rooted nook, but I got the update before I could block them, will revert back soon)
currently no. The android or in this case nook skinned android kernel has to support usb host and usb keyboard inputs which it doesn't. But it probably will in the future when the devs release android 4.0, because ICS needs a different kernel then the current nook tablet kernel. But anyway what keyboard do you have, because you can only connect bluetooth keyboards and also only if the developers can enable bluetooth on the nook.
It also depends on the hardware support. I don't know if the TI chip has a host-only port, or if it supports OTG (On-The-Go) dual mode operation. It probably does, but I've not seen anybody verify that.
it doesn't support USB keyboards. I have a female USB to micro USB for my galaxy S2. I tried to get a USB sick and 2.4GHz mouse and keyboard on the nook but nothing worked, and yes it both works on my galaxy with the stock ROM

The NT can support usb gadgets and usb hubs but it need to be enabled in the rom and the must have the module, the NC has this feature and i hope our great devs can implement this on the NT.

im looking to use a usb 3g modem myself with my tablet ,
ive read a bit on the latest engadget article about the other older e paper nook that was done with a usb keyboard i even went as far as to contact the guy who did it and he told me what to look for , hardware wise to see if the NT could do it ,
yet without kernel support or the module being compiled into the kernel we have already on the tablet , theres not much hope , but i believe it can and will be done , if not im gonna have to get an ipad with a 3g data card in it cause i have to have data access wifi hotspots just not cutting it..
Hi-
I have a zt-102, running android 4. As it doesn't come with integrated bluetooth, I would like to buy a BT dongle for it so I can use BT accessories with it.
Any ideas which BT dongles would work with this hardware?

Hi Folks,
I have the OTG cable and USB Y cable working my touchpad with 7/30 CM9 nightly... I would like to purchase a USB wired ethernet adapter. Has anyone tried and know of one that would actually work on the touchpad with CM9?
Thanks a ton!!
Anything that Android 4.0 supports should work unless its limited by our kernel. I'd say there is a good chance this one would work as it mentions plug and play compatibility on Android 3.2+. But there could be kernel limitations so you may want to get another opinion.

The GSII supports the USB Audio standard, allowing USB DACs (soundcards) to be used with a OTG USB cable.
Does anyone know if it would be possible to backport the USB Audio support from the GSIII kernel to a GSII kernel? Or does this require userland modifications?
Linux/ALSA has supported USB Audio for a long time.
Jellybean supports a new kind of USB Audio but it is designed for use with car docks, and is not the standard driver-less USB Audio standard used by Linux, Mac & Windows. Many people have confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 running Jellybean do not support standard USB Audio DAC.
The Samsung GSIII support for USB Audio is unique.
Hi!
I recently bought a USB-Ethernet Adaptater (this one actually). I also just rooted my phone, trying to follow this tutorial.
But I just read that Android 6.0.x phones don't have the "netcfg" binary, and are supposed to support natively USB-Ethernet.
But I don't see the <...> icon I'm supposed to get when connected. Looks like Samsung don't want us to use the driver. So how can I do?
Thanks
I use the ASIX 88772B which can be found all over ebay. It uses an app to connect. Yours maybe have the same chipset and thus likely it will work with this app.

However, since not all Android apps recognize that you are on ethernet you need the Fake Wifi module from Xposed to get it to work.
This is on Android 4.x
On Android 6 it maybe different sine they maybe support native ethernet. I don't have USB OTG working yet because of USB-C issues but I hope to get it working.
Better to buy this, I think : HooToo
