Hey folks, I've been trying to get the Arduino Mega ADK to work with two of my devices and so far I'm been totally unsuccessful. Both my Nexus S and Nexus 7 seem to do nothing with connected to the Mega ADK.
So, here are the details and hopefully someone can help out.
First off, I'm experienced with Arduinos and µCs. I'm 100% sure that I've correctly compiled and flashed the demo sketch onto the ADK. In the serial monitor I can see that the ADK will boot and attempt to get the Android device to do something and fails (it tries this continually unless a device successfully enters accessory mode and responds).
Both these devices are supposed to have support for the ADK and I've checked the devices and both have the correct .xml and .jar files for doing so. However, I'm currently running CM10 on both devices and I'm wondering if perhaps the kernel doesn't have the accessory mode enabled or if there's another stumbling block inherent to CM10.
Doing some google research I see that certain updates (4.0.3) have broken ADK support in the past, so perhaps it's just a Jellybean issue? Is there a way of checking kernel options or flashing a kernel known to work? I'd like to narrow down some of the possible issues here.
Hey mate!
I had the same issue, I fixed by using the library version 2 from labs.arduino.cc/ADK. You can download it directly from here: labs.arduino.cc/uploads/ADK/GettingStarted/ArduinoADK-beta-001.zip.
From what I've read the problem is that Android 4.1 uses adk version 2 and has some incompatibilities with the previous version.
Best,
Alex
PD) Sorry for not hotlinking can't do it yet with this account
I've been using that version and still get no response from the Android device. I suppose I'll have to flash stock 4.1 and see if that works, Sadly there's very little proper documentation on this and not a lot of people seem interested in accessory mode devices.

Hi mate,
I hope that you are able to see this message. I have the similar issue. I tried using this version 2 of this library and when i compile the example code "demokil_20", i get the error " 'USB' does not name a type".
Please help me out here.

I got the same USB error. I haven't figured out the problem yet, but I was able to get another example from the version 2 adk library working with jelly bean. I think it was called termtime or something like that. It recognizes the phone the and will pop up saying theres an arduino accessory attached and there is no application to open for that accessory. You can change the example code to "Google" and "Demokit" to auto launch the Demokit.apk app.
I just got this arduino adk two days ago and only have one Android device, a Samsung Captivate with slimbean rom, to test it on.
Received my Ulefone U7 yesterday and so far impressed.
Intention is to use in my car to replace the OEM satnav.
To do this, I need to enable the softkeys/navigation bar as the physical buttons will be behind the dash.
I've rooted OK and have so far tried what I thought would work..
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop
Xposed and as many modules as I can find!
Play store apps like softkeys enabler
So far, no soft keys
To enable softkeys on my Samsung Note 10.1 2014 I had to install a custom ROM
Any advice welcome.
Do I need a custom ROM?
Thee Ulefone U7 is the same as other MTK6592 phones I believe, can I use one of those ROMs?

Hey bro i want to ask you if you have problems with the camera ? it keep flickering purple ?! for me
I have a Tronsmart PS7 incoming which is the same device as far as I can tell with different branding, I'll see what I can work out for you, I'll be working on a clockwork build for it eventually.
Have you considered rooting it and installing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.udn
there is another program https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
Button Savior I do not particularly like, because personally I think its ugly, but it is functional as far as I can tell when I have used it on a device with broken buttons, it is not strictly speaking a navbar, but it has home and back etc on it, so it may work without needing the rom to be navbar aware.
There is also a mod for xposed that allows you to complete navbar functions using swipes for example swipe left to right = home, swipe right to left = back, see more here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gesture-navigation-multitouch-t2690180
There is a factory image here http://www.needrom.com/mobile/ulefone-u69u7/ it may be possible to edit that image to include the navbar
DO NOT FLASH IMAGES FOR OTHER PHONES
Yes the SoC is the same, but the button config, screen, camera, usb/otg functions hdmi output are likely to be different and so the driver sets will most likely not match and leave you with either a device with broken features or a device that will not even boot, so be VERY careful with that.

You device ps7, maybe OEM model,then check your phone's information firstly . setting->about devices->(1.Kernel version:? 2.Build number: ? ) ,or press volum- and power button together to get factory version details. After the information be confirmed, you can download ulefone u7 firmware at ule-fone dot com
Tnx in advance

s view
Hello,
I bought the 'created N7' that is like the ulefone u7/tronsmart ps7/luftco a onex/orientphone mega pro 7 etc..., and is sold by the factory with 4.4.2 installed
I found a bug in this product
The bug is about the bad working of the s-view window.
I link here a video where is possible to see how it should work:
http://youtu.be/lk1P9jziw64
The problem is that with the created N7 it is not possible to answer
to the calls without opening the flip cover:
when the N7 receive a call, the s-view window is not sensitive, so it
is not possible to answer
The sview with cover closed is sensitive only for a few seconds after the cover has ben closed, specifically only before the sview goes in standby (black screen)...after the standby, wakening the phone by a call or simply pressing the power button (without opening the cover) the sview seems not sensitive
These are two videos that shows the problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG6DMPL5ImE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-By6dqV3xrk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
This should be fixed, because is an important feature that is missing:
the phones like N7 of other brands (like ulefone u7/u69, luftco a-one
x, tronsmart ps7, orientphone mega pro 7) instead have a fully
functional s-view window
I already informed some created online sellers (kent wang, peter
yang... ) about this bug,
they told me that they will contact the engineer... but i have
not answer yet...i think they are not able to solve this problemi...
A seller told me that they send the leather case for free,
Its a gift , so i cannot ask them to fix this problem ��
Can someone help me to fix this problem?
I tried installing firmware of other device (luftco a onex 4.4.2)
But nothing has changed ...(and by the way i found that the luftco firmware
does not fit with my n7...the camera does not work with it)
Any hint?
Any suggestion?
I did some tests i found that actually the sview is sensitive also after the standby, but not enought to feel the touches through the screen...
in the settings there is an option 'increase touch sensitivity to allow the control through sview screen',
seems that this high sensitivity status is not reactivated if the cover is not opened after the phone goes to standby...
How can i fix this problem? perhaps some fix on touch drivers is needed?
Please help me!
Thank you!

If you feel that way, fine, but nobody wants to hear your moaning or that you are going back to Samsung. Anyway, afaik Gapps packages are really intended for installing on AOSP based custom ROMs such as CM, that adopt the Nexus filesystem. They may or may not work on OEM skinned firmwares. If they do then you can consider it lucky. If they don't, as with this ROM (an OEM dev ROM, ffs) then that's life. Not something to be complaining about here.
Hi kanagawa ben,
fine to hear your opinion, but you can not give feedback for the rest of the world.
i can very well write my opinion and when you dont like it, dont read it.
xda is a forum and not a military highschool. dry&cool
gapps from opengapps.org have been worked very fine in all my and friends phones untill today.
but you are right they must not run on every rom
the same gapps from not working here, working very well now here http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/revolution-5-9-466-developers-t3515313 from base nearly the same rom,
i have reinstalled the original build ins, because of several reasons
this year i have buyed 3 chinesee phones nearly same class as max2
everyone has made me different problems over weeks and month
yes bad english
cheers
Does anyone use Geofence and works correctly? I have configured it in the admin application for smart blocking apps, wifi and sound but it doesn't work!!!
