Hi guys I am new here and new to this whole rooting, custom ROM thing. This all started from a need of an android device to run an app for a motorcycle efi tuner. It connects through a USB cable and allows me to change some tuning parameters in the module. I have never owned an android device, but I did own a Kindle Fire 2. After doing some research I stumbled across tutorials on how to install CM and make it an android device....and that where I am at now.
I have successfully rooted and installed CM 11-20160815-NIGHTLY-otter2, android 4.4.4, Kernal version 3.0.72+
Now the problem I am facing is the use of the usb cable to link the tablet and module. I have a USB OTG cable and after some research it looked like I needed a powered cable, so I made one of those too. I have installed Stickmount, USB OTG helper and USB OTG Checker. Running the checker I see that my device has the USB OTG API.
The interesting part now is when I connect the powered cable to the module and Kindle it will open the app automatically but it says not connected. The weird part is that it detects it enough to open up the app. Also I have not been able to mount through stickmount.
I am not a developer and not familiar with a lot of the lingo so at this point I am stuck. I don't know what else to try its over my head at this point. A google search turns up very little on this, although I have seen youtube movies of it working so I guess its possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Anybody have any ideas? I don't have enough post to put this in the kindle forums is it possible for someone to move it there?

!!! HELP !!!...AFTER ROOTING MY NOOK TABLET I CONNECTED IT TO MY LAPTOP'S USB PORT SO THAT I COULD DOWNLOAD AN e-Book USING ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS SOFTWARE...FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE TABLET IS NOT RECOGNIZED AND AS A RESULT I CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE e-Book...PLEASE HELP...ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...THANK YOU...:crying:
What operating system? The device isn't recognized or nothing shows up at all when you plug it in?
Just an fyi posting the same thing in multiple forums wont get you answers any faster and has a tendency to cause a failure to respond at all. With that said, provide more details such as what version are you on. 1.41, .42, .43 ? What process did you use to root? Have you tried creating a CM7 SD card (how to is in these forums so read a bit for specifics) and see if that allows access? Are you sure its not an issue with the PC you're using? Have you tried it on another pc just to rule that out?

Thread moved to Q&A and other thread closed. Please don't post more than one thread on the same subject again please and always post in the right section. Also as stated above people can read normal fonts just fine and using caps signifies shouting meaning it'll be looked at and ignored by some.
I apologize for posting in 2 different forums, wasn't sure which one would apply...
The software version shows 9.9.9 under "About Your NOOK" in settings, however I believe the correct version(1.4x) was overlayed when rooting was done...I tried plugging into different USB ports from several laptops, same results...NOOK Tablet is not recognized, getting Removable Disk(F/G/H) instead when looking in My Computer...Something is inhibiting turning on USB to recognize the device when plugged into the PC...Someone suggested (in the other forum) to turn USB mass storage on from the NOOK...How is that done?...Do I need to tweak something for USB to be on?...TGPS_LAUNCHER shows USB debugging is checked(twice) under Development...Could this be related?...Rooting was done following instructions in XDA-DEVELOPERS website...Let me know if I you need any other information to helpme get my NOOK TABLET get recognized when plugged into USB port...Your help is greatly appreciated...Thank you...
:victory:Good News!!!...I poked around in TGPS_LAUNCHER & tweaked the settings for USB debugging(uncheck) & Auto Mount(check)...I then plugged my NT to the USB port, fired up Adobe Digital Editions & voila!...The NOOK Tablet was detected and I was able to download the e-Book...
And of course I still have the rooted device intact...Thank you all...
In the future, try not to panic. Any perceived issue you have with this device has likely been encountered by at least one other person (and usually many more than that). As a result, there is probably a relatively simple and easy solution that eludes, as was the case this time, and really no reason to worry/panic.

Attaching any USB peripheral requires the device to have USB On-The-Go (OTG) support. A lot of the newer (and high-end) devices have this, but yours does not. So it's not possible. It's not just a simple software mod. USB OTG requires the device to have a USB port that's capable of delivering power output to power low power USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, flash drives. For that same reason, in the video it is mentioned that only low power webcams work. It's at the hardware level, so no it won't be possible with your phone at all.

Yes you're right, your device does indeed have full OTG support. Sony never mentioned it in the official specifications, but I did a search in your device's forum and found info about it. In that case, I guess the procedure to getting the webcam to work is more hardware specific, so can't say whether it can or cannot work with your device. Your best bet is to ask a dev for your device about it, and see if they're interested to look into it. Also, the guy in the video said only low power webcams work. This is because the USB port can't deliver that much power output.
Having USB Host mode and even a powered USB hub is not enough to use a USB webcam.
You need kernel support and a custom app that accesses video4linux interface (/dev/videoX) OR a patched android framework that routes video4linux interface to android's standard camera API.
In other words, you must be able to modify and compile your own kernel and custom ROM for your particular device.

You can't just edit the boot.img, you have to edit the source and then compile it. Either learn how to program etc. Or ask a developer for your device to have a look.

first of all you must buy a cable that mach your phone port
second your phone must be unlock and root
third you must use modules that is with kernel (flash with CMW) and then install ModuleLoader.apk and select the modules you installed
then you must install a app (like stickmount.apk) to mount the usb you attached
you can found apps in apknew site
may this help you

hello dear
I sow that page but I've no idea why you cant see the drive in your computer
first of all you must ENABLE your USB debuging from your device
and make sure you have installed your phones driver in your computer
maybe your phone is in MTA mode so you can see your drive under your phones name in camputer
and make sure your cable is working fine.
may this helpfull

Yes, I had enable mass_storage in buil.prop file before flashing that zip. Actually it used to work in FXP 148. But now am on FXp 152 ROm, and now that patch is not working.
I have USB device drivers for my phone from some other path. But thats not getting identified by driver update.
Currently, my phone gets identified in MTP mode in Device Manger, but no drivers installed (shows as yellow question mark).
Hi
I would like to connect my Yamaha digital piano to my Nook HD (I currently connect the paino to a PC via Midi IN/OUT to USB cable which works fine). I thought that rooting the Nook and running USB Host Check would provide the answer but the apps I have tried (Perfect Piano being the most appropriate) don't recognise a device as being connected.
I am sure there must be a way and would very much appreciate any help. Running a cable to my PC each time I want to record something is driving me crazy.
Maybe this could help: http://www.musicalandroid.com/1/pos...o-record-sound-with-your-audio-interface.html ?
According to this: http://www.mikrosonic.com/rd4-midi-android These kinds of things work best at least 4.1.x but 4.2+ would be better. Might need to try a custom rom as well then.
I've not had any experience with this stuff, just found some info for you. Hope it helps!

Thank you very much for the info - it all looked very promising.
USB Audio Recorder won't detect the piano when connected using the midi IN/OUT cable, it is looking for a sound card.
I am thinking that it may work if I connect it via the headphone socket.
Strangely enough if I don't have a Jack to USB cable to hand - but I have ordered one as it must be worth a try!!
Many thanks again for your help
No problem. Let us know if you figure it out in case someone else is looking for a similar solution.

I have found USBHostSwitcher.apk on one of the forums here, which looked like it would do the trick.
I have downloaded it from a couple of locations but APK Installer comes back with an 'unable to parse' error message.
It either doesn't like my Nook, or the Android version, or ME!
The quest continues.
Thanks again for your help
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/USBHostSwitcher.apk
Found this on a Nook HD site and uploaded to my Dropbox and tested it. Installed fine for me. I don't have any use for the app, just tested to see if it installed correctly. If it still fails again, then you need to switch browsers or download on PC and transfer over.

Many thanks for your very quick reply.
I have downloaded the file from dropbox to my PC and copied it across to the Nook.
Unfortunately I still get an error message 'There is a problem parsing the package'.

Make sure you have the right drivers installed.
Plug in Nook with USB Debugging enabled
Put USBHostSwitcher.apk into the folder you unzipped with the files for adb.
Open CMD Prompt and change directories to the adb folder
Run:
adb install USBHostSwitcher.apk <enter>

Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot version 1.1.3.
Whilst I can access the Nook from the PC no problem, ADB can't find the device.
Other people seem to have had the same problem - none of the solutions seem to work.
In fact at least one of them caused problems with Windows reporting that there was a problem with the Nook connection.
I have had to restore my PC to a position a couple of days ago to undo the problem.
I have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot again but it still can't find my device.
Are you running a custom rom like CM or just whatever comes on the Nook?

I recently made my own drone and mounted a FPV camera. I bought a cheap receiver that you can plug in your smartphone using a usb OTG cable and with the use of an FPV app (like go FPV) you should be able to see the video. Since my smartphone didn't support OTG I had to root the phone and I followed a tutorial to enable OTG. But know when I try to use the app 'go FPV' it shows the following error: "Looks like this device does not have a UVC driver". I did some research on installing a UVC driver and only found out it can be possible but I didn't found a tutorial or something. Can someone explain me how it's done.

Aaaaaaah.You can Only do this by cooking your own Android kernel.Which is a Pain In the As s for Someone Like You.Ask a P9lite Custom ROM Developer or a Kernel Builder for Your device to Have That specific driver.

I'll try to help you but I'm not an expert, and yet I've had EVERY problem you seem to be speaking about.
a. I have had broken USB ports
b. I have had broken USB cables
c. I have had the USB drivers not install on Windows
etc.
Given I've had some of the same problems, I feel for you, so my first advice is to simply give up on USB for everything that you can.
Specifically, if you can turn on USB debugging and Wireless debugging in the Developer options, you can operate the phone over Wi-Fi using the Windows monitor, keyboard and mouse as shown in my screenshots below.
You don't need anything installed on Android to use these FOSS solutions on Windows to operate the entire phone over Wi-Fi as of Android 12 (which eliminated the need for an initial USB connection to establish the Wi-Fi connection).
In summary, I have had similar problems with USB where I've given up on USB and switched to operating Android over Wi-Fi and even mounting the entire Android file system as a Windows drive letter over Wi-Fi using free software.
a. adb
b. scrcpy
c. vysor
d. webdav
Use Windows Event Viewer to check for error messages on the PC.
If the problem is the PC it will likely show up there and give you more troubleshooting clues.
