Any clever kernel devs out there willing / able to include the Nexus 7 ethernet drivers with their kernels ? I have ethernet working fine on the N7, but it looks like the drivers are missing from the stock S3 build.

Guys,
I have a CM802 Android 2.2 tablet that I would like to support external USB devices. My problem right now is that the default ROM doesn't seem to have USB host drivers, and I have no idea where to look. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
I don't know your hardware, but your android version should have no support for both usb host mode and USB otg. If you upgrade and hardware is ready, maybe. But very likely you'll need the kernel USB modules sources and a dev to compile them especially for that build. That's why on my se xperia x10 such feature is still missing ...
The hardware has support for it, and I don't care what version of Android I end up with, as long as there's support. I also don't mind installing them myself, but would like some direction as to where to find the modules.
have you tried going to the manufactures website?

You will need to compile a proper kernel with support for it. There have been a few on the site that have done it for a few devices but it is not an overly popular mod
Well, I have just seen a site where they sell the android 2.3 version of the same device which seems to have the USB otg support. In any case, the first step must be one upgrading at least to android 2.3...

the kernel would have been made to support it on that device. After building 2.3 from android source code I can say that it is not there by default.
Thanks, I agree that is not supported by default but maybe they had actually patched a kernel with those modules, though such kind of sites are not very reliable...

Can you guys link me to the modules or whatever? Again, I'm perfectly willing to build the kernel from source myself, as long as I can have a little direction.
Any help? Links, information, tutorials.. whatever you can give me would be awesome, Internet <3.
Oh, and sorry for the double post.
Hello, I'm trying to use some USB devices with my phone but I can get nothing to work, apart from usb drives.
I'm using stock ICS 4.0.3, so first of all, is USB OTG support enabled for keyboards and mice?
Since the kernel isn't dumping a /proc/config.gz I can't check if it's enabled. Is there another way to check?
Also, is module support enabled for the stock kernel?
Have any of you successfully used USB keyboards and mice, or even better gamepads, with your GS2 on stock ICS? What models?
And finally, since I've been keeping my GS2 pretty much "stock", except from rooting, which custom kernel/rom out there offers most support for USB OTG. I'm especially interested in gamepads.
Also, on a more rhetorical level, why would a company not provide out-of-the-box support for USB OTG? I can understand not giving root access or overclocking capabilities, since those can damage your phone or increase performance, effectively increasing the life expectancy of the product, but why OTG? It's not like samsung produces branded gamepads or mice as accessories so enabling full OTG support would reduce sales or something. Does compiling all those drivers into the kernel increase the image size that much?
Rename general to Question and Answers please .

This was more of a general talk thread, about the use of OTG on the galaxy, and not a specific question that I wanted answered, but whatever.
Any input?
+1 for USB OTG on Stock ICS 4.0.3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
+1 to what exactly? Support for OTG? Does this mean that it's currently unsupported?
On a side note, I compiled joydev for the stock kernel ( GT-I9100_ICS_Opensource_Update4 ) but was unable to install it, insmod giving an "exec format error". Apparently this means that the kernel source I used is not the same version as on my phone? Or that the stock kernel does not support modules?
Any dev insight on this?
shamelessly bumping this.
I have a couple of generic Android tablets, one based on the Allwinner A10 chipset and the other based on Rockchip RK3066. With both tablets I was able to get hold of a build of xpad.ko, the Xbox controller driver for wired and wireless Xbox controllers, and with a little jiggery-pokery they both work pretty well with supported apps.
However for my SGS2 I have searched high and low for a build of xpad.ko that will work with the stock 4.1.2 rom I have on the phone and I can't find anything.
Does anyone know of a standalone download of xpad.ko I could use, or a kernel I could flash with it baked in? I really don't want to flash a whole new ROM though, I'm pretty happy on stock.
Kind regards
Dave
FWIW my USB OTG support seems to be working fine, I tried with a USB keyboard and mouse and a pendrive and all seems to be well.
Hi,
After hours of pointless Google-ing, I have come here to make a request.
I own a SGS3, a TP Link TL-WN722N and an OTG cable. I would like to be able to use aircrack-ng from my Galaxy S3.
After some Google-ing, I've learned that you need a custom kernel with the drivers for your WiFi adapter. The only problem is that there is no kernel for the Galaxy S3 with the drivers for my TP-LINK (which would be ath9k). I have no idea on how to recompile Android kernels, so I'm making a polite request here for any dev's out there:
Would you be so kind to create a kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S3 with drivers for the TP-LINK TL-WN722N? Preferrably compatible with CyanogenMod 10/11.
It's a very popular phone, with a very popular WiFi antenna, on a very popular ROM. I'm surprised this combination doesn't exist yet.
Thank you!

Hey everyone,
So I'm running Android 5.0.2 on my GT-I9300 and I'm really anxious to get my WiFi dongle working. The reason behind it is that Reaver & similar tools don't work with the device's native WiFi.. adapter? Chip? That.
So I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G dongle that does what I need it to do, but my device doesn't acknowledge the dongle once connected via USB OTG cable. I understand I'm supposed to provide Android with a driver, but I'm unsure how would I go on about doing that. The best I got from around XDA was 'compile a driver to a module and load it into the kernel' but I haven't the slightest idea how to do something like this. Any newbie-friendly guide would be highly appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of any monitor-mode WiFi dongles naively compatible with Android 5, please let me know.

Thank you!

Have you tried flashing a custom kernel ?

Hey Joseph,
I haven't, but I'm not sure how would that specific ROM work with other kernels. Also, I imagine it's better to know how to add driver to kernel so I can do it on pretty much any device running anything? But sure, if you have an idea which kernel to try, I'll go for it =)
Thanks!

You can for example try Boeffla Kernel CM12 NG.
To look for compatible kernels, you can:
• Search for a kernel index like this one
• Make a search for the word kernel in your ROM discussion and Q&A threads and see what kernels people are using.
• Look for kernel threads in the Development and Original Development threads
Hope it helps you in your search.

Thank you, I tried Boeffla Kernel and it didn't recognize the device still, but I'm searching for a kernel with the driver necessary. Still would be nice to know how to do it by myself, but I'm on it ^^
Hey i noticed your post is old but did you find a way to do that any supporting roms or solution i'm having the same problem
