[Q] Wireless USB Keyboard vs Android 1.5 Cupcake - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if cupcake (1.5) supports usb wireless keyboards?
I recently bought a parrot asteroid mini -- http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/asteroid-range/parrot-asteroid-mini -- to add bluetooth integration to my car. This device is based on android 1.5. Because this device is not a touch device, I have to explore other options for input. I was hoping to find a compatible mini keyboard/touchpad/dpad, as this device offers 3 full function usb ports. While the voice commands and the remote will probably be adequate, I was wondering if cupcake supports wireless usb keyboards.
Something like this:

Working host USB devices?

Hi all. Just wanted to know what external devices people have got to work on their Mini Pro's through a USB host cable.
I'm running the bog standard Sony ICS ROM 4.0.4 (Build number 4.1.B.0.431)
So far I have got the following working:
Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse - P/N:831383-0000
Apple Wired Optical Mouse - M/N:M5769
Dell Wired Keyboard - Model:RT7D50
What doesn't work:
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 - P/N:X802611-008
Freecom 32GB USB Databar
Integral 16GB USB Data stick
SmartDisk USB floppy disk drive - Model:FDUSB-TM2
Gemplus Smartcard reader - P/N:HWP108760 B
ADMtekUSB 2 Ethernet - M/N:UE-120
It would be good to get a full listing, and if any coders are able to get some of the non-working devices to work would be great.

If you have a stock Xperia ICS firmware your mobile phone will not work as USB host.
It will work as USB host if you rooted it, and have installed the required kernel modules and you use the USB OTG Helper app (you can find modules in the second post of USB OTG Helper thread).
If you already have the modules and the helper, it's sad to hear that no storage device you tested is working

[Q] USB Infrared support in Android

There may be device or rom specific answers to this question, but I wanted to know if there was support for USB infrared receivers built into stock Android, possibly at Kernel level?
The context is that I have a USB IR receiver that I've used in Windows for XBMC that I've tried connecting to two of my Android devices (Galaxy Nexus and Nexus Q) via a USB OTG cable and pointing my remote at it doesn't seem to automatically work like a Bluetooth remote does, but it could be that it's receiving the IR commands and I need an android app to convert the IR signals into something Android understands.
Anyone have any information about this?

[Q] Why is ther no universal Bluetooth patch??

Could someone tell me why its impossible to find a universal Bluetooth patch for EXTERNAL usb Bluetooth dongles? One that will add the full Bluetooth feature to the devices "born" without build-in Bluetooth.
We are so many that bought these Android tablets thinking that we could just plug in a Bluetooth usb dongle - for why would that feature be missing in Android, bluetooth has been around for so many years even before anyone thought of android.
So why is this left out of the kernel, it should be as basic as Wi-Fi?
Come on XDA developers - make a universal driver, then get people to test it and add their devices to the list of working.
Doesn't bluetooth work in linux? And isn't Android based on linux?
So why is it so hard to make the driver/patch?
Or is it simply that most developers think that bluetooth is obsolete - So never mind?
With kind regards

Plugging a USB bluetooth dongle to an Android that has already Bluetooth

Hi.
I have an Android TV Box with an old Bluetooth version that does not allow me to pair two gamepads at the same time. The question is if I could update the Bluetooth of the TV Box with a USB Bluetooth dongle version 4.0 and thus make it compatible with the gamepads without having to change the entire TV Box.
Does anyone has experience with USB Bluetooth dongle and an Android device that already has Bluetooth capabilities? It will be recognized and work?
Thank you in advance.
Nobody?
