Yes, I tried that, but the phone kept rebooting when connected to power (ie. when it should have enabled usb host mode instead). furthermore, modules can't just copied most of the times because they're tied to the specific version of the kernel, up to the last digit. so no luck there.

files

Here are my files:

Based on mik_os kernel source tree as mentioned in the previous

post. Tested it on my CM7.

( Stable as far I know.

Known issues:

Overclocking not available

Touchscreen bug unfixed )

Its a signed zip. Flash it via recovery.

Theres a folder inside called modules1

that has the LKMs (modules).

You don't need to do

insmod usbcore.ko

do a straight forward

insmod ehci-hcd.ko

Let me know your efforts.

Exactly! The root hub got recognized but the devices were not accepting addresses. Frankly, I don't know where to look for a solution... I only know that haoto's kernel, although not booting for obvious reasons with GB system, got my USB thumbdrive's led blinking. And he used the driver included in LG's kernel tree, not the Blade patches.

As for building the Y cable, you can take a couple of desktop front panels with USB ports and connect the wires together (you don't even need to solder).

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] haoto:
Hi!

Sorry that I haven't been around for all this period; I really don't have time to play with this again until maybe mid September :(

Did you make sure you have ID and GND pins soldered together in your Micro USB cable?

From my memory, both the soldering and connecting external power source before booting the phone (and keeping the power connected after that) were essential to trick the hardware into host mode.

I hadn't experienced any system crash when I experimented with the host driver though, except when I compiled both the host and gadget drivers into the kernel.

EDIT: just to clarify that Android (at least not Froyo) doesn't have any user-facing applications to mount USB drives; so after you get a USB thumb drive to work you need to mount the drive manually. Also, be sure to include the usb-storage driver in the kernel :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ashishv:
please post a proper tutorial to make usb host work on our phone
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikoperugia:
Hi. Yeah, I didn't have much time either and right now I don't even have the cable with me. You mean I should have tried with a proper 5-pin otg cable? Even after hacking the source code with 1?

If I remember correctly, not compiling the gadget support in gb resulted in some make errors. I should try with the new kernel mik's using, it should be vanilla and may work better.

Anyway, it's mid september for me as well, have nice holidays..

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] spaic:
This was reported to be working by the original poser of this thread, who also did the first steps of development.

I only gathered some info (posted here on this thread).

In my case it did not work (don't know why... maybe OS version)

The thing is that the driver for USB host generally IS in the kernel sources (why bother delete code?), but is not compiled in the kernel, so what you (any developer, which I am not) is enable the the USB host and then build the kernel.

After you install the kernel, if it works, you still have a lot of work to do (the devices connected would not get automounted, they are not declared anywhere) - find with dmesg what the device is and then manually mount it.

This is in early development stage, and because of the lack of time the development has stalled.

If you are willing to do the development (pick up from where it has stopped or just start over) there is quite alot of info on this thread, you just need to start reading from the beginning, not the end.

BTW, it should work with any kernel, as long as you compile USB host support.

the latest cyanogen mod rom 6.5.8 android 2.3.7 changelog says usb host mode supported

i installed it but didnt got a chance to try it as i was not having cable and have to make it by myself and the firmware is little buggy so i prefer to come back to stock rom.............

So if anybody is free go and give a try (i think that it is only hardware enabled in this firmware but still not any software available for it).........

lg O1p500 - mik cm7.1rc1 6.5.7b + ffk 19.4cfs + s2e
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] spaic:
for my phone it did not work. The cable I use is the CA157 filed to fit in the connector om the phone.

The problem is that the the O1 does not provide USB power, so you need to hack that in some way (use some external power supply), which I did.

Also, I have tried several kernels (stock, mik and this one) but nothing seems to happen when I plug devices (I have tried booting with the cable connected, etc.). There is no output regarding the USB when I type dmesg in terminal.

USB has 3 standard modes:

USB Host - connector acts as a "master" - just like the ports on a PC.

USB Device - connector acts as "slave" - just like most phones, mice, usb sticks, etc.

USB OTG - the USB connector acts like a device with a normal cable, but if you connect a special adapter (like the CA-157) the USB port switches to USB Host mode, so you can connect "USB Device" devices. Details on how this should work are on this thread and also elsewhere (wikipedia, etc.)

For our device to be able to recognize external devices as slaves we need:

- a special adapter (with external USB power)

- a kernel that has either full OTG support (the ability to switch into Host mode) or a kernel that has only USB Host mode driver compiled

- drivers/modules in the kernel for the devices that we connect (mouse, keyboard, memory stick, webcam, whatever)

- some app that automounts the USB Storage (or at least a line in fstab) or the knowledge to mount via the terminal (for the usb memory sticks/hdds).

I am not a developer, and also I do not have enough time to do extensive searches and testing. But I can give a hand. Also, if you browse the first posts of this thread, you will find some links and stuff.

Also, for people wanting USB OTG working on O1 a VERY good example is the ZTE Blade - same CPU, but has USB OTG working "out of the box" with the latest official roms.

Hope this info helps.

http://rumah-android.com/read-your-flashdisk-into-android-deviceusb-on-the-go.html.

If it doesnt work,try using a self powered usb hub.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] spaic:
As far as I know it does not support usb host or OTG out of the box. Also I don't know if the sources are there for usb host or otg, in order to be compiled in the kernel. I think that they are, because nobody bothers to remove the sources, they just don't compile them into the kernel.

Also, as it is written on the first page, if you compile the kernel with both usb device and usb host, it will not work. there is a post there by haoto.

Hope I helped.

Has anyone comes across a better battery for the play?

I have seen the mugen one stated in this forum but I was hoping for

a battery of around 2500mAh. The phone is great but I'm disappointed by the

battery life.

I know batteries for the X10 are compatible but have yet been unable to find a case

which will accommodate it for the play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsongrantr:
mugen-power said they are working on a backplate for battery I linked to in another thread in this forum. I think it is 3600 or something, I don't know about 2500mah though. I think the mugen one is your best bet seidio deosn't support sony ericsson devices.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molyneux86:
Any idea when this will be released?

If it is the same price as the X10 battery is don't think I'll be buying it! Which is a shame because it would be perfect. But 97 dollars is a bit rich for me. Considering I bought an extended battery and case for my galaxy so and it cost me £13.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsongrantr:
no timeframe they just said "we're actively working on one" when I asked them

as for the price, well... there is no other alternatives. I bought my play for almost 850 usd, if I woulda waited a couple weeks I could have gotten one from canada for about 650... and if I woulda waitted untill it comes out in america I could have probally gotten it subsidized for about 150-200 usd...

[General Questions and Answers] Steve Punter:
I would personally choose a smartphone and a laptop, but it would depend on what I'm trying to accomplish. As an all-around useful device I don't think the tablet cuts it because it's not particularly portable (unless you don't mind carrying around a bag to put it in) and far more limited than a full-blown laptop. A tablet seems like an excellent around-the-house device as a substitute for a laptop in situations where you consume data rather than create it.

I installed File Expert (free) with the File Expert SMB Mount Plugin (also free), and my Samba shares work flawlessly - I can stream movies with no issues.

Another option for viewing movies or listening to songs on the eee pad is to just use the Splashtop software in MyCloud>MyDesktop. Works pretty well for streaming stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] PublicJohnDoe:
I've just run some tests, and while I see MKV's with no issues, unfortunately I can confirm I can't seem to visualize SRTs at all :(

And that's odd, because I use either MoboPlayer or Rock Player to watch movies (I prefer the latter), and both *should* support SRT... dunno, maybe I'm missing something here...

Apart from that, UPnPlay works perfectly for me - I just wish it had a more user-friendly interface, like Asus MyNet, which is almost useless (as it only uses the stock movie player, which doesn't support AVI/MKV/etc.) but has a much friendlier interface (all the servers constantly shown on the left, etc.)

I share them via Windows Media Center on my Win7 rig, plus I have a NAS and a standalone Media Player which each have their own DLNA servers (besides being shared via SMB).

That's very very odd, as I can fully access my network shares, but I have no root privileges! I'm not the tinkering kind of guy... too scared to brick my tablet to try rooting it...

Anyway, I just add them into the File Expert "network" tab, provide access credentials, and voila, accessible.

Mmm... it works, true, but I can't seem to have it run anything better than 1024x768 resolution.

My PC is set for 1920x1080, and as soon as I connect via MyDesktop, it goes to 1024x768, which is kinda awful.

I much prefer PocketCloud (a VNC client) or LogMeIn Ignition (a LogMeIn client) to connect to my PC. I have to scroll and/or pinch-zoom, but at least I can use all the real estate on the screen...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
You can change the resolution to 1280x800 in the splashtop options. Sounds like you still have it set to the ipad resolution. My pc desktop is also 1920x1080x2(2 monitors) but it changes the resolution of the primary monitor pretty fast so it doesnt bother me. It doesnt look fantastic but the whole point of the exercise is to view stuff on the eee pad, on which it works great.
