[Q] Getting an Android phone to communicate with TI calculators

I made a discovery today. The cable which is used for e.g. sending apps between two TI-84 calculators does actually fit in the USB socket of my HTC Hero
When I connect the Hero to the TI-84 the Hero's little LED turns green for a second and the TI-84 actually boots. If I let the Hero be in sleep mode and I press the ON button on the calculator the Hero wakes up
I have found a document which describes parts of the TI-84 USB protocol here.
It would be really awesome to be able to communicate with the TI-84 from Android apps on the phone. I have never programmed an app which uses the USB before, but I know there is an API for doing it.
Can this be achieved in accessory mode or is host mode required? AFAIK the accessory mode requires the accessory (TI-84) to be using a special Android accessory USB protocol to work. Can someone confirm this?
Is any developer interested in this?

It's simple I just bought a externally powered ( optional) usb hub but I did not plug-in the power, I connected the OTG cable to my phone then the hub and finally connected the usb joystick on the hub
Works great no power issues just had a hub in center of connection between joystick and OTG of my phone
The hub was of this type

are this kind of this safe? I mean the electricity power might burn the microusb plug on your device for giving too much power, right?

Bought a "simple" USB to micro Usb adapter like this one but it doesn't work.
Is "the OTG cable" a special one ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I guess so
Thanks for answering.
Actually it seems some adapters are "OTG certified"... So next time i'll look at it.
After "a quick search on xda", shame on me, i didn't do it before...
Saw this topic, with the "homemade tip".
[fingercross]I'll try this evening when back from work.[/fingercross]
... Nice it works ! Can browser a usb stick.

Recover Oneplus 5 Broken Screen Data

Hi,
My screen touch is broken, and I'm stuck at this step :

}
So I decided to buy an OTG cable to connect a mouse, but the mouse does not turn on... I only want to recover the data from the phone. Could you help me please, it's very important for me ? Debugging is not enabled
@zaki_law
If this phone supports USB OTG ( will say OTG got enabled in Android's Settings -> System -> Advanced Option -> OTG Storage ) then you can recover data. Using a OTG cable you can enable USB debugging.
Click the mouse to unlock your phone and turn on USB debugging on Android's Settings -> Developer options
Connect the broken phone to the computer and the phone will be recognized as external memory.
From the computer, open the file folders of your phone and copy the photos, contacts, videos, music that you need to the computer
Thank you for you answer, but as I said, the mouse doesn't turn on when I plug it to my phone.
Nobody to help me ? pls

OTG + Charge with Y microUSB cable

Hello! OTG works fine with the Y cable, but the phone refuses to charge whatever i do. Is there a way to activate the charging while in host mode?
This is the kind of cable i'm using.

I think it would be a way to upload a modified kernel, that would allow this, but i have no experience with compiling kernels. Is there something already available for the Redmi 5 Plus?
Thank you!
I managed to get it working. This is how, maybe it will help somebody.
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader.
2. Then install a custom recovery, i went with OrangeFox
3. After that i installed LineageOS 18.
After the ROM instalation everything works perfectly. I now have OTG and the phone is charging at the same time.
I needed this old phone to run OctoPrint for my 3D printer, instead of buying a rasberry PI 4, which is expensive at the moment and lower spec than the Redmi 5 Plus. So this is a huge win, as i already had the phone and it was collecting dust. Until now.
