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

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.
Why Rom cyanogenMode does not endorse cod?
like **33284(diag mod) or **772 and Other
To use the program dfs and qpst and cdma tools
help me
plz update cm10.2 to this In the future for fascinate

The CM team isn't likely to see this message here at XDA, just FYI. You'd be better off contacting them through the CyanogenMod forums.
I can probably semi-answer this one, though ... many of those dialer codes were put into the Android OS by Samsung, they weren't part of AOSP. As a result, somebody would have to figure them all out, program them in, and provide apps for them to launch, which at this point is pretty unlikely given the age of the Galaxy S/Fascinate. I believe the are ways to communicate directly with the modem using USB "ACM" mode on most kernels (FWIW, my kernel does not have this feature), but it will most likely be from the command line and not the GUI.
That said, many of the features you want/need have likely been thought of and may be accessible in CyanogenMod, but you'd really want to ask them directly, or perhaps even better ask as part of the development thread for the specific CM-based ROM you want to use. My suggestion would be to ask how to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish rather than asking why the dialer codes don't work, that way alternatives can be suggested without putting people off! :laugh:
where i found part of the development thread for the specific CM-based ROM?

Well, not to be short with you, but if you know that the ROM doesn't support the dialer codes you want, you got that ROM from somewhere, maybe try that thread?
There are also official CyanogenMod forums, easy to find with Google.
Hi everyone,
Firstly thank you to all the devs out there: You have all made a great contribution of time and knowledge and it's appreciated.
I have previously been around these forums and I have learnt a great deal, but I'm currently trying to push the boundaries of my android knowledge.
I would like to use a USB inspection camera on my S3 i9305T (Telstra/Australian version). It would appear that I have done everything I can to get it to work without trying a new kernel or ROM.
I have had a discussion with Droidperception here: droidperception [dot] wordpress [dot] com/2012/11/27/webcam-attached-to-nexus-7/comment-page-1/#comment-140
(Sorry can't post a url properly whislt under 10 posts)
He has stated I need a different ROM as Samsung or Telstra have removed this functionality. I was looking into the rXTREME.v9.0 JB4.1.2 ROM but I'm starting to wonder that it may not work as it's based off of the Samsung ROM (I read that somewhere).
Do I need to find a Vanilla JB ROM for the S3? They should have the UVC/V4l drivers as UVC cameras appear to work with Nexus devices.
Thank you,
Ritzo90
Sorry, please move to Q&A if possible.
report it and ask
Update:
So I ended up installing SuperNexus, but it still has not helped. The camera is recognised but the UVC driver does not appear to be the ROM. I will try a couple of other ROMs tonight and see if I can find one. If worst comes to to worst I'll get a Nexus 4, though I really hoped that it wouldn't come to that because I like my LTE.
If anyone has found a guide on adding UVC drivers or V4L driver please let me know, I can't find anything as of yet.
Thanks,
Ritzo90
Hello all. Im trying to find some assistance from a developer. I have been attempting to compile a kernel for my SCH-i605 that has the usb wifi drivers for Ralink RT5370 chipset. I have been beating my head against the wall attempting this. This is my first attempt at building a kernel and quite frankly i'm overwhelmed at this point... I was wondering if a developer would be able to assist me in trying to build this kernel or point me to a guide that would be able to show me how to do this? I dont need anything fancy just a AOSP kernel with these drivers added to it... I am currently using 4.2.2 PacMan Rom (which I love).
Hi Guys,
Not sure where to ask this but would it be possible to patch the following in one of the kernels for RN3 Kate?
Im trying to use NXLoader,but apparently it doesn't support it because it has an EHCI controller, not XHCI.
Apparently this can be done,but i have no idea how to do it
"not patch to xhci, simply patch ehci to behave the way we want it to.
https://github.com/fail0verflow/shofel2/blob/master/linux-ehci-enable-large-ctl-xfers.patch"
Thanks for all the help
Even I am trying to use NXLoader to send payload to my Switch. I even tried Rekado (another app) and it has the same issue. Here's what the creator of the app had to say...
@aKMTR not patch to xhci, simply patch ehci to behave the way we want it to.
https://github.com/fail0verflow/shofel2/blob/master/linux-ehci-enable-large-ctl-xfers.patch
You will need to recompile your kernel to do this most likely, although I did write a "hotpatch" script for desktop linux systems: https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/41b12362cc4d8c539dc441d75155f2e9
I can't really help you from here. but if you do figure it out please document what you did so others can follow along.

Current, I am on latest global stable stock MIUI on RN3. I can upgrade to any rom if it supports this modification.
Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply.
I've been told that installing a custom kernel and then adding a script to it can help. Can some devs of a kernel help us with this, please.
Edit: I just tried out Rekado on my wife's Honor 7X phone (which also has Micro USB port) and it just worked. It's a brand new phone and has no root, etc.
