USB Host Mode on Sense Rom with screenshots - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So I came across something earlier today that I have been searching for forever. USB Host Mode for Sense! Here is the link that will help. Special thanks to whoever posted it on TheMikMik site.

I was able to get it to work by adding "/mnt/usb" without quotes under settings in the USB Host Controller app.

I am currently using Stock with Goodies 2.28 Rom by Flex360 and using Evil Z 7rc Kernal from Team Blackout.
Sometimes the app does not automatically mount my device, but I can confirm that an 8GB USB drive and a SD in a multi reader work fine.

OK so I created a quick walkthrough and took a few screenshots from start to finish. (Assuming you have added the "/mnt/usb" (my preference).
Here is the OTG cable I use. Couple bucks from Amazon.

"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
You will get this "Can not Charge" error.
Open the USB host app (after you plug in the OTG with device) you will notice the progress busy for about a minute.
After processing you should see this screen.
Click the USB tab and you should see your connected device.
Click on bottom option, you should get a selection screen. Choose Reload Partition Table.
You should see "SDA1" (or equivalent) now listed.
Click SDA1 and select mounting point (I only have "/mnt/usb" since I removed the default ones from settings and had only added this one).
The device is now mounted!
Using your file management app of choice (in my case ES file explorer) navigate to the mounting point you have chosen. And enjoy!

IMHO this is a much better app mounts a drive in a second

I tried it. Didn't work for me. If something works better than what I have I would definitely use it and agree with anyone that shares it.

It has trouble accessing non /system root required folders, but it looks like this is an issue related to ics. Keep in mind its still a beta

Actually, I haven't been able to find where to change permissions or where to change from r/o to r/w... But I haven't checked the thread or tutorial really because it hasn't been a big deal yet.
I noticed this because I just flashed newer leak and was going to kill the cap key lights

same here...root explorer will always be my main file manager for root processes. i just use this one for the simple stuff
Searching with search button is very slow.
Thanks for the find mrmako777
Pretty sweet file explorer. I'm digging the dual view in landscape mode. It helped me when I was having issues with the touch sensor on my old phone.
I still use root explorer for the basics but this one is nice to have.
Search is a lil slow but that's not a biggie for me.
I believe for permissions access it's under the properties settings. There should be a "set" button in the properties window.
Hopefully there will be an update soon... Anyway, thanks again.
I rock and roll all night long.... Sweet Susie. \m/

Anyone know how to get the other Gallery to work on these phones? (SOLVED)

I'm talking about the one that has this logo:

}
I think it's from the Desire but not 100% on that. I've used it on all my Android phones and all my ROMs and it's always been solid. Backed up my recovered file from my Evo 4G and it seemed as though it installed and everything was fine. But when I launch it I have issues. It appears to launch fine but whenever you touch the screen to scroll I get the following message: "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."
Anyone having any luck with this? I really prefer this one over the one that comes with the phone.
Thanks!

So I installed it and the one I installed looks more like the one that came on the device. I'm looking for the Gallery that looks like this:
This one has all of my local folders as well as my Picasa folders on the same page and makes it easy to browse them. Also, the one in your zip appears to be bork as when I click 'settings' I get a blank screen. I was trying to see if there was an option to display my Picasa folders but there was nothing there.
I may have found my answer here. Researching now.
Oh your talking about the gingerbread asop stylw... Sorry thought you meant ics.... I dunno if it would be compatible

Yeah, that's the one I'm looking for. Love that one. Just not a fan of the layout on the newer ones plus I want to see my Picasa folders with all the others w/o needing to click any other buttons.

Just a heads up to anyone who finds this thread searching for the same thing... this link worked perfectly for me. I downloaded it to the phone and then clicked it to run like a regular apk and didn't even need to go through the steps the OP lists and it worked fine for me on a rooted Evo LTE on the stock ROM. I've got my 3D Gallery back!

I'm talking about the web player on amazon.com. I'm able to watch prime videos now. Before now, it would start to buffer, then crap out with a message about supported devices.
This sounds great because already have some movies with amazon. Could you please explain where you found web player and how you got it to work?
Sure. I opened the stock browser and went to amazon.com. Logged in on the full Site, and played a movie.

Same here. I am not sure if it worked before, though. I never thought about trying it. Thanks for the heads up.
No problem. It's about as good as netflix' selection, but with free shipping. Better deal for me!
Still looking for someone to confirm or disconfirm it working previously.
I just tried this and it doesn't work for me. Using stock browser, went to full site of Amazon, logged in, found a prime video to rent and it says I s=do have flash player installed and prompted me to install it. I knew it was already installed but clicked the link to the Play store anyway and sure enough it's already installed. Any ideas on what I can do to get around this. I'm on stock Rezound with ICS update. Thanks!
Make sure that "request desktop site" is selected in your browser settings menu if you have it. If not, try using a different browser like ics+ browser or anything that allows you to switch user agent.

Need for Speed Most Wanted

Does anyone have this app working 100% on an AOSP-based ROM and if so please describe your setup or steps you took to get there (ROM, kernel, dev options etc)?
I hate knowing the only way I can play this awesome game is by flashing a Sense ROM.

Well I can get it to install and play the first race just fine if I choose not to restore my data from TIBU. Sometimes I can play a few races more too. After a reboot though it will load up all the way to the point to where the next race should be then it chokes and completely freezes the phone making me hold the power button to reboot.
I've tried it on Deck's kernel, komodo (current), and whatever one comes with a CMX nightly download. I've tried multiple combinations of performance/dev options to no avail. I've tried swapping mount points and I've tried moving the app to SD/internal.
Nothing but a Sense ROM makes it playable 100% and I hate Sense.

Thicklizard, I flashed your newest kernel and removed NFS Most Wanted + data and then freshly installed the app again. This time it froze right as it was about to finish loading the first race.

I've got it working 100% now. I flashed the latest cmx nightly and the only dev option enabled is SD card debugging.
I have no clue if it would work if I went back to an older ROM. Maybe it was a user error of some sort?

[Q] Serial in Android

I'm some noob to Android and wondering about the files and directories I found out that there's a file in /dev called tty, so I wonder if I can use something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For using serial devices to comunicate with apps and I don't know using that for configuring routers by a HyperTerminal console, just wondering.
It's possible, someone tried it?
Seriosly, in the mother of god Android forum with a lot of users, no one ever tried to make Serial devices work with Android?

Good god, no. I've probably touched a cd/dvd more recently than I've handled a device with those kinds of plugs and when I did I was literally throwing them in a dumpster. The few crazy things I've seen here on XDA are being done over USB.

That's a VGA cord. The new version of that cord is an HDMI cord. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with it?
