NOTE: These apps are now more or less obsolete. The new app External Keyboard Helper Pro works on Android 2.3+ and does not require root.

Being swedish and owning a couple of tablets I soon realized using an USB or Bluetooth keyboard wasn't very useful. Even though my Galaxy Tab 8.9 have some support for it when using stock ROM it was still far from perfect.

So I started to tweak the keymaps until I got a perfect setup both for my full size USB keyboard and my smaller Targus iPad bluetooth keyboard.

I realized other might want this aswell and also that the problem is not limited to Swedish/Finnish users so I created an app for it and then expanded it with different version for different layouts.

So far I've made keymaps för Swedish/Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, German and British layouts. For the nordic versions I've also included a special layout made for the nordic version of the Targus iPad/iPad2 bluetooth keyboards (which is the bluetooth keyboard I use myself). I can add more variants if needed, just let me know.

All apps have a demo version that works identically like the full version except for the space bar that always prints a capital "S" on the demo version.

NOTE! Only works on rooted devices and at least on the Samsung Galaxy Tab that I have the Samsung Input method is automaticly choosed when it detects a physical keyboard and somehow it tries to fix the keymapping but it has issues like the ALT and CTRL buttons not working. Manually switching to "Android keyboard" will make it use my mappings.

Hi,

I'm using a logitech dinovo mini BT keyboard with my samsung Galaxy Tab P1000. I've tried your demo app for the french layout on my tab with ICS CM9 rom but ait doesn't work.

After launching the app and rebooting, I always have a QWERTY layout when using my BT keyboard. Is there any patch of your app for CM9?

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kallt_kaffe:
I'm using it with CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Did you check the "apply on boot" checkbox? Also you shouldn't need to reboot. Just disconnect the bluetooth keyboard and reconnect it again.

I have a bluetooth keyboard that its like apple's bluetooth keyboard layoult, tryed using your app on trial and could get it to work (change to international US and stuff, and didn't work). It changed the way it behaves, but I couldn't get a "ç" for instance. My keyboard on my computer has the same layoult (sony vaio), from US, and I use the international US version here in Brazil and it works flawlessly.

Any ideas?

using this (http://dx.com/81-key-slim-portable-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-black-45253) keyboard with GSII running CM9 4.04

If you help me solving this, i would be happy to buy the app

[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Hi everyone,

Thought I would post about an Android issue that is bugging me - the fact that despite USB Host functionality being present in ICS, USB DACs (digital audio converters, external sound cards if you will) do not work with our devices .

If they did work then we could use relatively cheap USB DACs with our Android phones and enjoy great music sound quality, no matter which cheap DAC/DSP the manufacturer has seen fit to include. Ever since I sold my Galaxy S, which has an excellent Wolfson DAC and can produce awesome sound quality with Voodoo Sound, the sound quality of my subsequent devices has rankled. Now with ICS this is a simple software fix, which makes it all the more irritating (someone has managed to add support for these in a Nook Colour kernel that works with CM9). To be honest I'm seriously considering buying an iPhone for the first time ever because they have this functionality out of the box.

Fortunately there is something we can do about this besides making ineffectual unhappy noises and waiting for customs ROMs etc to fix this - vote the issue up here: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...rs&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

To vote just star the issue.

This issue needs ~1150 votes to enter the top ten, which doesn't seem a big ask given the hundreds of millions of Android users out there... (it's got 66 votes so far today and risen 16 places up the issues ladder).

Please star this and share this out to your social networks - help save me from having to continue think about getting an iPhone!

I also posted about this issue at my blog, if you were planning to share it out over your social networks that might be a better thing to link to:

[Galaxy S II General] jayerfernandes:

[Galaxy S II General] guttsy:
+1!

I would also really like to see this implemented. Shouldn't be too difficult for them, methinks? The nook already seems to be able to do 24/96 with a USB DAC using a standard USB audio module. Apparently, with the correct ALSA driver we could also do 24/192, even!

ps. Correct url to vote (sans http prefix) is here:

[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Working link?
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
No, it's a major ***** for them to implement - ALSA is evil.

Getting audio routing to work properly on a device with fixed hardware is enough of a pain as it is.

Handling audio routing that changes for 3280348230 different peripherals would be an utter nightmare for Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
While I agree it would be a cool feature, it's definately something hard. Just look at how hard it was for us to make audio working properly on Ice Cream Sandwich. While some Alsa could work, all devices have their own controls and way of working, so it's really tough to make it work for all at once (which is probably why Google doesn't support it).
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
First post updated with working link!

In relation to this being difficult, doesn't seem that difficult since it's been done already (the Nook fix was not specific to the E7). Surely doesn't need peripheral-specific support, only needs to be able to send audio out via USB on the host device? The iPhone doesn't specifically support any particular peripherals either...

Anyways, thanks to those who have voted, over 100 extra votes now and climbed 24 places.
[Galaxy S II General] Elythor:
Apparently there's a test-build kernel around that would support USB DAC for GB (yes I know we are talking about ICS here)

Starred.. i really wish to see iRig sorta of hardware being supported
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Interesting! Just been reading there... I would imagine custom ROMs and kernels will support this long before Google :)

Still, important to try and raise the issue with Google, would rather not wait for x-feature to be ported b ydevs with every new Android device.
[Galaxy S II General] Hgshgs:
I was thinking... some devs could get this thing to work in their custom ROMs on some devices, like Nook color for example. Why should be so hard for Google to implement this? I have a tablet, and could make ALSA recognize my DAC with appropriate libraries, but route audio to the DAC is imposible, tried to mess asound.state, alsa.conf, etc...

Seems to be something hard, but there are devs who could get it working.
[Galaxy S II General] Reignogleph MMXI:
If the problem is that each DAC has its own protocol and settings, and that accommodating every powered DAC would be too difficult, then wouldn't the next step be to ask a few specific companies to design and build Android DACs around a fixed set of values, commands and so forth, and to introduce them on a very small scale at first -- so that, while not every DAC worked with Android, a few specific ones did? That's what a certain fruit company did with the Wadia 170i and the Cipher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo.
[Galaxy S II General] htc9420:
I think the guys from Wadia/BA went to the Android SD requesting Google to help them (for the Droid & Captivate ) but they got a naked bird instead..remember that Google only recently have launched the music store...
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
I think audio hardware is one of those non standard things across android platforms and getting the audio -usb dac protocol to work across all devices would prove difficult if not impossible for stock android.

But yes, it's a feature id definitely want to see implemented. But I think the devs might have to take on this one.
[Galaxy S II General] 01010001:
This has already been accomplished on the Nook. It's not difficult.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
If it's not hard, please do us all a favor and implement it yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] Lord Tim:
So out of curiosity, if we did indeed have ALSA working with a USB DAC, would that bring the audio latency down to near realtime speeds?

If there's one are that iOS is superior to Android it's with low latency audio performance, and that's why you don't really see any softsynths or guitar processing apps for Android, sadly.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Good question.

Would be another benefit. Even if I care only for external DAC's with superior sound quality, I'm sure that there are people waiting for this

﻿Hi all. Great to see developments going at this faster pace.

Hat's off to the developers. Great job being done for the defy users.

I've been using cm7 right from cm7.1 rc 1.5.

I'm fond of render effects. Really like calibrated one. But need to apply after every reboot. Can't it be a permanent setting like box other settings. Don't like doing this on every reboot.

This has been the issue with me right from the first trial and existed in all builds nightly or stable.

I'm now on quarx's latest nightly. While rotating, the ting becomes a bit heavier. That is the ultimate color tone I would like to have permanently. Most other cm7 render effects are too much extreme. Can somebody tweak these? Just a wish from the developers.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamboNZ:
Hi,

I'm a new nook owner, but I'm not new to Android (I've had a Galaxy S for some time now). I just received my 'new' nook which came with CM7.10 (CWK74) on it and it's working fine except for hardware acceleration for video playback. I've tried a couple of HW accelerated players (Dice & BS Player), but neither of them seem to be able to play anything back using HW mode, only SW. I've tried a number of different files, both HD & SD, no difference.

Interestingly, Dice seems to at least try to play in HW mode, (the HW indicator shows when you initially try to play a file) but then immediately falls back to SW mode.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be going on here?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
The videos are most likely not encoded properly for the nook... either the frames are too large or they aren't in h.264
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamboNZ:
So are you saying that in order for hardware decoding to be available, the videos must be encoded in a certain format? My Samsung Galaxy S plays the same videos in Dice with HW decoding without any issues (I know it's different hardware, but the principal's the same; I have not re-encoded the files for my Samsung and they play fine).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envied:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
I've never had much luck with DSP video acceleration of H.264 on the NC with the various video players. But YouTube and Netflix do work mostly fine and they use DSP playback.

The problem is that the drivers and kernel for the Nook Color are a bit of a homebrew collage and there are problems. The devs do the best that they can with what B&N provides and with what can be scraped together from other devices.

[Sony Tablet S] diddy64:
Wow, what a week, with the rooting and all. Now for me Honeycomb 3.2.1 is pretty damn good, so at the moment not really fussed about custom roms. My only problem with the Sony now is that i need more memory to satisfy my gaming needs. With games now coming in at roughly 1gb my poor little internal memory has run dry. What i would love now is to be able to utilize the SD slot so that game data may be able to be placed there instead of the internal memory.

Do you think this will be possible now we have root or am i asking to much?

Why did Sony go down the road of this silly file swapping thing between internal and sd slot?

I know its early days with rooting and all but i really could do with my 32gb sd card getting some action.

Am i the only one who would love to see this happening?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzvikagee:
Rooted my Nexus S with a rom that is buggy.

-Google Wallet pops up an error that it stopped every few seconds

-Android Market crashes as soon as I open it.

-As of now, it won't go into recovery. It did a couple days ago. Sometimes after I reboot, it remains loading, and I have to take the battery out and try again

restoring to factory settings within the phone didn't work, it rebooted, got stuck, took battery out, and everything was back like before. All I want is a clean, stable rom..

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am at wits' end.

Thank you so much, I love the XDA site and community, I hope to become a part of it when I am ready to contribute myself.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ame85:
Well, first of all, lets get this straight. It seems that you messed something up while installing both the rom and the recovery.

If I were you, I would start from scratch by following to the letter the guide at this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007782

This way you will have a proper unlocked bootloader, a proper recovery installed, and your phone properly rooted.

Then, after you have assured that your phone is rooted, just try and reflash your rom via recovery. Don't know what you did wrong, but if I were you I would try downloading again the rom .zip file, just to be sure that the previous wasn't corrupted.

EDIT: BTW, for a clean and stable rom, check Pete's AOSP ICS rom, it is exactly what you're looking for ;) (Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488100)

Can you go into bootloader? (turn off the phone, then press Volume up + Power)

If so, just download CWM recovery image for your phone model, put it somewhere easy to access e.g. C:\

Then open Command Prompt, type in the following:

cd \
