[Q] Using UVC video devices on the XTC - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Any experience with using UVC compatible equipment on the XTC?
I have a UVC compatible device (working using Ubuntu) that I would like to connect using USB OTG to my XTC.
Google's Nexus line apparently has enabled support for UVC video devices in the kernel. XTC seems not to have this by default.
I do not know how to compile my own kernel so I'm hoping for some/any advice.
Thanks.

Guess if you get a linux compatible usb encoder and the driver's sources you might compile a module for android.

[Q] Receive the XBOX360, PS3 and Wii Video on android devices when the device is plug

I'm making an app which can display any consoles with usb ports on the android device (when this one is plugged in). If you have an idea for API 10 (GingerBread)at least. it'll be helpful .
It'll be more cool if you have an idea for API 8 (Froyo). How To Stream a console display to the app? I'm on eclipse java.
THANXSS!!!!!
I must admit that i'm quite inexperienced with java and programming in general.. but i think that you have to deal with drivers that actually shouldn't exist. You have to build a new kernel for this specific app I think
Edit: i think that you can't do it because consoles don't have drivers.. and their operating system is closed source so you can't do anything so weird

ok thanks for answer
but have you an idea just for record the console video?
Maybe you can deal with the HDMI port if your phone have it but you have already to build your own driver. I'm so sorry about that but I'm not a dev and sincerely I haven't idea how the code could be

You could (re-)write a driver for a USB Video Grabber and load it as a kernel Module.
These devices have an RCA input for Composite Video and USB. (They cost ~10$)
But you'll need a very fast processor in your phone/tablet, also root acess and USB Host.

[Q] web cam

Is it possible to use a web cam with the cm7 rom through the usb port?
What that's called is 'usb hosting' and as of now we don't have that working, we'll get that working eventually in the new 3.x kernel but as for now it isn't supported on any roms.

Thank you for your fast reply.
I also think it would be cool to get IP Webcam support on the NT. You can use the IP Webcam app to use your Android phone as a webcam on a Linux machine, but it goes through V4L, which I don't think works for Android, sadly.

[Q] Making USB Gamepads work

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure...
What is required in the Android OS to support USB Gamepads?
I have purchased an Android TV Box from Chinavasion (http://www.chinavasion.com/china/wh...xt_-_DNLA_Miracast_Dual_Core_CPU_4x_USB_HDMI/) which has 4 USB ports. While it's mostly going to be used to watch TV, I thought it might be nice to play a few games on it.
I can plug keyboards and mice into it and they work just fine. But gamepads don't work at all. I understand that from honeycomb gamepads are supposed to be supported natively so I guess there must be something missing in the firmware?
I have installed USB Device Info app. The gamepads are not listed in the "Android" tab, but do show up in the Linux tab (though to be fair, the same is true of the keyboard and mouse).
Any ideas?
anybody?
well only some aps support gamepads natively. like dead trigger. but for all other apps there is six axis. you have to be rooted to use it but i love it. google it if you want to learn more about it an how to use it.
---------------------
Give me a thanks if i helped
Lg Lucid running Cm10
w/ Cm10 Kernel
Asus Tf700 running Cromi-X 4.6.5
w/ Max's v4 kernel
OK it appears that I need to find a working joydev.ko for my device which I can then start with insmod
Apparently this device is bassed on an allwinner chipset.
The Model number is A18_VGA-20
The Android version is reported as 4.2.2 (though I'm not sure this is accurate)
The firmware revision is BOX_20130425
The Kernal version is 3.3.0
and the Build Numer is wing_A18_VGA-eng 4.2.2
With that information am I able to go about locating the source and compiling the module myself?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks but that appears to be for bluetooth controllers only. My device doesn't have bluetooth.

USB-OTB Host UVC Webcam

Hi,
I am trying to figure out which UVC camera's are supported by the Samsung Galaxy S4 Kernel. It does not seem to be published anywhere. I have tested various camera's and some are detected, but I get no video from the Camera app on the phone. Perhaps there is an expert here who has some knowledge of this topic? I noticed that there were some threads related to a CM version that has included support for OTG Webcams, but I could not find more details about this.
This is for a research project that I am working on.
Thanks for any help.

I can't find a listing of which UVC Camera's Samsung supports for OTG Host... anyway, if anyone else knows something about this please let me know.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? I have tried to get V4L2 working but I failed, it seems to be very hard. I want to use the S4 camera as a webcam thats my purpose. what's yours maybe I can help you, you want to use a OTG usb webcam and pipe it's video stream to the camera? or what
