It's not going to work. For your computer to see your device as storage it installs the USB Storage drivers for that device. Same as it would if you plugged in a memory stick for the first time. Your head unit has no such drivers and no way to find and install them!

You want a Head Unit with Bluetooth that works with Android, and then you can do what you're asking without wires.

xxx Resurrecting a Dead Thread xxx

While it didn't work for my Galaxy S5, this app promises to do what you are(were) looking for.

This is a dead thread, but I came across it looking for the same thing so maybe this will help someone.

The app is called USB Sharer, full version is under $3 and there is also a 7 day evaluation version on the play store. Sorry I can't post links as this is my first posy on XDA Dev.

I'm hoping the Dev can work with me to get mine going on my S5.

I have a note 4 4.4.4 kitkat rooted I entered your posted code to force usb Mass storage and got can't create sys/device/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file no such file or derectory. So how would I fix this or what else could I try?
[General Questions and Answers] Hallikonrelas:
Some phones don't have a mass storage option. if your phone definitely has a mass storage, and not just mtp, try removing everything from the sd card except for your music. all the files should be a usable format to the stereo. Usually at least mp3 and wav are compatible.i had the same problem very recently. When you put the phone in mass storage mode, the receiver will start reading files.i couldn't get mine to actually play, until I removed all the non audio, specifically anything but mp3 files

I can confirm this working drivedroid - it worked on all my previous phones just not my S8 plus. Brill app - buy it - been using it for years.
[General Questions and Answers] TUMUHEIRWE:
Thank you Team for having chosen to help us. my FLASH says write protected, is there any app that can solve this
[General Questions and Answers] lolvatveo:
You can use Drivedroid, it can mount as a usb only to use the Iso file. Unfortunately what everyone needs is to make it like a real usb, just plug it in and connect immediately no need for an adapter or driver, it can only be a virtual space usb, what a pity no one has done that yet 😔
[General Questions and Answers] flash713:
There was an app years ago that you could make Linux live iso's using your phone and you could boot your PC via phone but i can't remember the name of it and last I checked it hasn't been maintained in many years.
[Android Apps and Games] nepentanova:
where are the note apps with 4x4 widgets to browse notes?

all i need in the app / widget:-

syncs to the cloud (pref google docs, evernote, simplenote)

has a large (4x4) widget that i can view a notes list and individual notes, edit, and add new

and that's it, would be like to have a nice UI, check boxes, images, links, but plaintext would do

EDIT

the closest i have found is springpad, has sync and a 4x4 widget, but the widget doesn't allow a notes view, just a ist view..

I've installed the new version of opera (opera mobile 11) and it is so much smoother and faster than everything else I've tried.

It is just amazing how they improved scrolling and zooming...I was using dolphin mini before, but there is just no comparison.

I wonder if they implemented some kind of hardware acceleration.

Info:

to set up opera to load pages with a "desktop view":

enter opera:config in url bar

go down to "user prefs", enter

find "Custom user-agent"

fill the blank part with:

"Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en-US) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.01"

go down and save

restart opera or reboot

EDIT

to solve cyanogenmod 7 flash crashes:

go to settings, apps, manage apps, select adobe flash, move to sd card

"Opera/9.80 (Linux; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00" is good also...maybe faster??

enjoy :D
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I may have to give it a try.

Does text/field input still take you to a new window rather than let you populate the field on the page?
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
+1 The new Opera 11 is fantastic! The new version of mini is excellent too. I have both installed and I use Opera 11 primarily but if I have low signal where bandwidth may be an issue, I use Mini instead since its much faster in those cases.

Either way, both browsers are super smooth to scroll and zoom and are much nicer than any other browser I've tried for Android.
[Captivate General] Grandelama:
No, it seems you can fill the fields directly on the page
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Cool.

That is the main reason I don't use Opera.

I'll have to give it a shot.
[Captivate General] uhmump95:
So is it time for me to dump Skyfire?
[Captivate General] mastergrillo:
Yep opera 11 is a great improvement i like how now it will launch youtube app when i wanna see a video the old version didnt do that.
[Captivate General] ryusen:
The speed is nice. is there a way to make it the default browser and/or import favorites?
[Captivate General] DarkDvr:
Holy... "WOW" is right.

Amazing.

Flash is excellent as well - loads fast as hell, works great. Heavy pages like newgrounds.com and this here xda forum load in a blaze.

Orientation change is very fast and smooth as well.

Text reformatting is instant.

Very, very impressed!! Amazing job, Opera!

Anyone having issues with flash? Seems to crash the browser everytime.
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
How is that possible in your sig!!!
[Captivate General] Grandelama:
Yes, I had the same problem. It is a bug that opera has if you use cm7. But I've recently found a workaround:D

To solve = go to settings, apps, manage apps, select adobe flash, move to sd card
[Captivate General] blazin619:
How did you guys get it? Its not on the market
[Captivate General] B407:
Im loving how fast opera is but it seems that it doesn't like to multitask. For example if I reply to a text message while opera is loading a page and I return to opera it launches from the splash screen again. Very annoying. Anyone else having a similar issue?
[Captivate General] blazin619:
Anyone?

It reloads me to the last webpage, but yes it does not just "flip" to it.

[Captivate General] nickm50:
Agree with the rest of you! IMO this is the best Android Browser to date!
[Captivate General] ●●●●●●●●●:
In the browser address bar type opera:config

Scroll down to User preferences and click on it

Scroll to custom user agent

Type this into the text box Opera/9.80 (Linux; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00

Click save

Restart the app

What is the difference??? This set of instructions seem to load the page faster than the ones you posted.
[Captivate General] Grandelama:
As a matter of speed I would say it should be pretty much the same

the list of possible options with details is here

[Captivate General] thresherhorn:
Been a vet of xScope, one of the quickest browsers i've found, for about 3 months, but seeing this thread figured I'd give Opera a try (tried many others including Dolphin, Firefox, etc).

Gotta say it's nice and smooth and fast, however after 4 minutes of playing there's a few things I wish it had/can't find....

1. A power off button.... yea I know I could long press home... task manager.... end.... but I like my browser to shut off by itself.

2. The zoom is too far out by default and I've check all the options in settings and just cant find a way to change it.... The "zoom" option only correlates to how much double pressing the screen zooms in

3. Pin zoom.... aka 1 finger variable zoom.... It's neat and sometimes usefull, havent seen it in any other browser besides xscope tho. not a deal breakker tho.

Just some observations... partially hoping Im just missing these features, cuz honestly its one of the smoothest Ive seen.
[Captivate General] mechanical tool:
I can't comment on other browsers, but Opera 11 definitely seems faster than the stock browser.
[Captivate General] Grandelama:
I tested this user agent configuration with a couple of webpages and the loading was actually faster:cool: nothing scientific in my test...anyway..in doubt I will keep this new setting
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Nice, flash works now. But how can you make flash full screen in opera? Seems like pressing on the screen brings up the select text browser option rather than the maximize/close option in flash.
[Captivate General] SladeZero:
They finally fixed all the stuff i thought was wrong with Opera. Thanks for posting this. I had version 9 and had parked it.
[Captivate General] surfed.tk:
no exit button

not a bad browser but what bugs me is that there is no exit button so when i click on links on my news app, read the article, return to the news app click another article it gets opened in a new tab.... so i have to manually close tabs all the time, annoying.....
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Beyond fast.
[Captivate General] wash23:
Has anyone used Miren? If so, how does it compare?
[Captivate General] eury23:
^^^I got my Captivate recently and tried all browsers available

(dolphin mini, dolphin HD, firefox, Opera mini, Opera, skyfire, xScope,

miren, etc)

My favorites were Dolphin HD and Miren.

But let me tell you that Opera Mobile 11 is the best browser I have used by far, even if others are a little faster I find this one the easiest to use, and now it have full pinch to zoom support.

The only downside is that you have no way to actually close the application.

So yeah I agree with the OP, Opera Mobile 11 is amazing.
[Captivate General] Grandelama:
Miren and dolphin are both very very good and I' ve used them for some time, but they are based on the stock browser, as they are using a tweaked version of its rendering engine.

Opera developed its own engine, promising hardware acceleration.. and it's so incredibly smoother on pages with massive content, that there is no comparison.

Of course if you use "mobile versions" of websites or usually visit light pages you won't see much of a difference.

[Captivate General] Bish0p34:
I tried it out, and set it as my default browser. Whenever I do a Google search and click the links it brings up their summary of the page, not the actual page itself. Can you shut that off?

[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Dolphin Mini is where it's at.
[Captivate General] morpheus_1987:
Stock browser only lets you open up to 8 tabs though.

I loved Opera when I first started but there are some quirks that have caused me to move to Dolphin Mini. Dolphin HD feels bloated/slower and doesn't scroll/pan as smoothly.

Annoyances:

1) Opera's word rewrapping as you zoom is convenient on articles but terrible for viewing forums that do not have mobile versions. I hate it when I have to zoom in close enough to be able to accurate select the tiny new post icon for a thread only to have the entire page shift on me due to the word rewrapping.

Edit: Found the option to toggle this now.

2) Opera seems to not be able to remember passwords. I mean there's the wand that does remember passwords, but it's like cookies don't last very long even when you choose keep me logged in. This is what made me change to Dolphin for forum surfing.

3) The tabs don't hide itself after selecting the tab. You have to tap an extra time on the tab or on the webpage again before the tabs hide again. Usually I tap only once on the tab, then I try panning already on the webpage but it does nothing as it requires an extra touch on the screen to select the tab unlike Dolphin.

Dolphin takes up space with the row of tabs up top and Opera takes up space with the navigation bar on the bottom so I guess they tie there, but Opera's address bar scrolls away if you're not at the top of the webpage which is smart as it saves space which is valuable on mobile devices

No offense, but I don't think any electronic device manufactured in the past 15 years doesn't have a multi voltage charger. My laptops in 1997 were multi charger.

Besides, if you really want the device and you weren't 100% sure, you could always get a converter.

Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo

Hi folks,

I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..

Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.

This of course does not work and installation aborts.

Any ideas here?

Thanks,

Chris
[Droid X General] snwagner:
When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.
[Droid X General] AndroidGraphix:
I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function.

Realizing that many of the ROM's have incorporated different kernels already, let's assume that I want to use Vegan 5.1 and Clemsyn's Kernal.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace7196:
Assuming they're compatible with each other, ROM then kernel, always. All ROMS (released to public?) have a kernel in them already. Otherwise they wouldn't work!

[HD2 General] maroe007:
i had some problems with my touchscreen of my hd2, so i called Htc

they asked me to do a test, with the volume buttoms ect

but they found out (because i din't go well) that i have installed android on my phone. So they told me if i want it fixed i must pay.

I went to my friend for advise, he said call them back and tell them that it was SPB mobile. i did it, they bought the story. but they told me your phone will be searched and if we find illigal software on it you still have to pay.

I just have flased the original Rom from the htc site. But my question for you is: Will htc find out that i had something else flashed, ifso is there a way fool them?

Thank you very much:D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Go into bootloader, if the spl ends 0000 then its fine, assuming you flashed the CORRECT stock rom.

If it ends .hspl then use hspl4 to set the correct spl for your rom version.
[HD2 General] maroe007:
thank you very much for your fast reply you were right it was still the "SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE" so i am going to see if i can change that

but thank you
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Run hspl4, and depending on the stock rom you flashed pick an associated spl

Rom ....... spl

1.4x ........ 1.42.0000

1.66 ........ 1.66.0000

1.7x ......... 1.66.0000

3.14 ......... 3.03.0000

If you have a tmous, then choose 2.08.0000 or 2.10.0000 regardless of rom version.
[HD2 General] maroe007:
i saw on the spl thread that you can do it automaticly if you place the nbh file on the root of your sd card(you have to name it leoimg.nbh) so i did that and now i have 3.03.0000:D even my radio is changed

But THANKS again for your fast replies i can't thank you enought
[HD2 General] spyderman33:
not changing the SPL is the mistake most people have made...

we all know that the screen not working has no relation with Android loaded but they try to wiggle out of it that way...

yes you are right i noticed it when i was taking on the phone with them, they told me the hd2 is not made for other os's and bla bla. he and i both knew it was a hardware issue. but they have picked up my phone today and i changed the spl so there is no way that they'll know that i had android installed.
