External Web Cam to CM10 - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Has any one tried a custom usb adapter to connect a usb web cam and test if it works? Skype video calling is where I'm getting at.

not sure if its possible right now. i don't even think usb otg works currently. we gotta get that working first. the other problem is if the usb port on the NT has enough power for the webcam.

Only if this work on the NT

[Q] Does Atrix have USB Host support?

Saw a new app to tether your Canon camera to your phone instead of a computer.. Gives you all the controls like when you tether to your PC, but on the phone, still in beta, and only tested on xoom and sgs2.. but i saw that the phone needs USB host support for it to work.
Is this something the Atrix can have with the roms now?
This would be sweet!
yes. in order to use USB host you just need to provide 5V DC to the device which the Atrix's usb port doesnt do. you will need to use a powered USB hub. check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997187
drivers will probably be an issue though

That does sound sweet Shriva! What's the name of the app and if it was not in the general app market where was it?
Thanks,

Atrix 4d and 2 support USB host mode when you use OTG cable and provide power (you can use mouse, keybaord storage etc.).
But it does not support Androi API support for USB host mode. Which means Apps won't detect any device thus DSLR camera control apps don't work. Maybe with update to ICS it will be supported.

[Q] [$$] Ethernet over USB OTG

I want to be able to use a wired ethernet connection with the S4 Zoom over USB using a OTG cable. I know it doesn't support it out of the box. I have looked all over the internet but did not find a solution. I am willing to pay if someone can create a reliable solution for this.
I need to be able to use a USB OTG cable (such as this) and a USB to ethernet adapter (such as this) in order to connect the S4 Zoom to the internet.

Don't think they are going to work. I know the Galaxy S4 works with the ethernet adapter now. Someone wrote the drivers and updated the kernel. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347721
$100 to anyone who can port this solution for the S4 zoom.
app store
There are various apps in the app store for this. Just search ethernet in the app store. Tell me If this helps. Also your phone needs to be rooted.

OTG

Hi,
Can somebody verify otg connection is working for this tablet?
I tried my cable but it does not turn the device into usb host mode.
A quick test with a usb host testing app showed that this tablet has no usb host capabilities. Shame.
BS - of course this tablet has USB host functionality.
Via the usual OTG adaptor you can connect the usual USB sticks, hard drives (with own power supply), mice, keyboards etc.
It has even a special feature (can be activated in audio settings) for connecting a USB DAC for high-quality sound / recording.
Yes, it works w/o problems

Cool, looks like that test app isn't very accurate then.
This is the result it came up with:
If @datalkingx means with OTG connection to connect USB Flash Drive, Keyboard, etc. then it works, if he means something else then I don't know

How to get USBs to work on android

Ok so currently there is something wrong with USB mounting where even through dock it doesn’t show up.
To get this to work do the following:
In play store search up ‘xplore’ and download it.
Open xplore, go into settings and scroll to where it asks if you want to use it’s driver. Tick that and go back. Plug USB in to dock and when it asks if you want to mount it select yes.
Voila!

I believe this is only in regards to usb storage. I downloaded xplore file manager and found the option that op mentioned. When I plugged in my xbox 360 controller wireless adapter nothing new happened, but when I plugged in a flash drive I did get the prompt they mentioned.
Controllers work if you connect via dock and yes it was ‘xplore file manager’
Was there anything else you may have done? Also, which controller were you able to use with this method? I tried connecting my xbox one controller to the dock over usb with this open and nothing popped up on the screen and the controller wasn't working. The controller just vibrated.
Can anyone confirm that the USB to Ethernet adapter works ?

What controllers did you get working? I tried both wired xbox one controller and ps4 controller and they both didn't work.
Kodi and USB drives
Hello all! First post here. ^^
I’m wondering if you guys have been able to use external usb drives with Kodi.
I have used the app “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software” to mount a NTFS drive to the switch. I can use the app “x-plore” to browse my 1TB drive and can play all my songs and media. However I cannot find the drive in the kodi app. I would greatly like to be able to add all my media to the kodi library.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks
Should also be sure to remove the Switch Game Card. This was not doing anything, then after I removed mine, it worked perfectly. Just don't use the HORI Dock. That damn thing does not work at all.
Quick update: got the USB to Ethernet adaptor working while docked - just download the app called USB Device info and it will activate all USB ports while docked

USB drives worked but not the USB to Ethernet adapter. It took a while to figure it out, so other than that you will need to to enable Ethernet on the OS. I did that through https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706211
I don't have busy box but it seems to have gotten the job done for me
Be careful - it will make ur switch hang - but after reset just delete it and then it will work

Thanks, but I talking about la possibility for read usb stick from the switch directly
OTG is currently only used for serial, peripherals don’t work when connected directly

I have had success with “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software”. But it isn’t free.. The price will depend on which file format your usb drive is.
Maybe there isn’t an alternative, but this is all I know of now.
i get a message no supported partition was found?
Hey do you know anyways to make it work with dolphin?
breakthru just used stickmount to get a 4tb drive to detect
We still dont have usb controllers working?
Anybody know the directory location for external USB storage? Trying to access my games on redream from external storage and can’t find the right directory (if I’m even in that area of the devices storage).

USB OTG not working, why?

I'm trying to connect a camera to get the files off it but my phone doesn't allow me so to select anything else but the charging of the connected device option (the camera doesn't even supports USB charging)? How can I fix that?
if you want to see if USB OTG works, you could try a normal USB memory stick before to try the camera
if the stick works, the problem is the camera
Well a mouse works fine..and the camera does work with Android 8 Devices. So no.
