OTG UVC Camera Support

Hello,

one question about the implementation of an UVC Camera in Xperia 2011 Devices. The app OTG Helper works perfectly in my st17i device and detects the usb stick. Now i want to ask, if it is possible to get an uvc cam also working on the device and if there are already some experiences? On my st17i I'll have the 4.1.b.0.431 Firmware with an recombiled kernel and uvc funktion implemented. The device detects the uvc camera correctly with the right driver, but there is no /dev/node (video) created. Maybe someone can help me out, because the camera implementation could be similar to the usb stick implementation.

Thanks,

Peter

SONY Xperia E4 - Versioning, modules 2018

Thank you for all your past actions for making USB Host on Android.

Could you please make clear which modules should be suitable for Sony Xperia E4 with Android 4.4.4? I have tried few, but still getting message - Mount: No drives found. Without any error code which is described in some troubleshooting papers.

Thank you in advance for your help. Never though Usb host parameter will be one of crucials when deciding which Sony Xperia to choose. Going to avoid such Xperias next time. :highfive:

My device is Huawei y5 2017 (don't support OTG)

I have twrp root with magisk

I installed busybox pro 67 successfully in path /sbin

I installed OTG USB helper and run it . It say

(

Root acsess OK!

Initializing....

Storage module live!!

NTFS read-write supported !

) Just these

And when i put in usb NTFS memory storage or mouse or keyboard it doesn't work and when i tap Mount the app close
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Peter____:
Hello Saleh,

when you Kernel doesn't support USB-OTG you are not able to use USB-OTG. It has to be enabled in your Kernel-Source first. Only Solution for you would be to flash a new kernel wirh OTG Support. It could also be that for your Kernel the OTG-Support is compiled as a Modul. Take a look at /system/lib/modules and look out for a OTG.so file or something similar. If there is such a module load it with "insmod yourModule.so" in a terminal-app or via adb.

So far,

Peter

Hi, first of all, i like to thank you for these contributions. :D

This app worked for me.. but i think there are some things still need to be fixed..

I am on ICS 4.0.4 with stock kernel.

Busybox v 1.18.4

neo V mt11i

I can view all the data in the flash drive. but the flash drive is readonly. i cannot copy any data from neo v to flash drive using root explorer or es explorer. root explorer says that device is read only.

I cannot watch videos stored in the flash drive. i can watch it only using mx player. bt it uses software decoding. not hardware decoding.

please see to this problem.. many thanks :

The default mount is read-write (I tested on FAT and NTFS drive)! It may be because of the drive you are using! What filesystem is it?

Also, the mount has nothing to do with software or hardware decoding !!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aney1:
Im on official 4.0.3 ICS with Suave Kernel v5 and your app is working great with FAT and NTFS Drives. (Kernel has built in USB-OTG and NTFS support anyway...)

Video playback and things like that are working without problems.

But I can't write on NTFS drives.

The drive shows up as user writable in File Explorer(by NextApp) but I can't write on it.

Tried ScriptManagers Filemanager also. It's not working either.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tHe daRksiDe:
Same here shardul. Evrythin working fine except writing to the drive. Currently only read permissions are there !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Yes guys, Bug filed! :D

Edit: The NTFS driver does not support write to new files guys.. We need to compile ntfs-3g if we need full support..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
Hey guys,

Finally FULL WRITE SUPPORT coming (Uploading tutorial soon)! :D

Hello,

in my case USB-OTG mass storage is not working.

My Kernel is TrinityKernel1.6 which is based on the .431 source code.

The modules are installed but i can not mount the drive.

On Doomkernel everything works fine but the TrinityKernel is much smoother.

Is there any solution for my problem?

1. Please run the debugging script immediately after you plug in the drive

2. Bad fonts problem is because utf-8 mode is not enabled. Will try to fix in next version.

Edit: Could you provide some files with bad fonts for testing in a zip?

Should work. Please try and report.

See above.

ntfs-3g is not working for you (maybe fuse is not loaded). Which kernel?

Kernel Modules for Xperia 2011 GB v4.0.2.A.0.58

Hi,

I have just compiled and posted the CWM ZIPs with some modules for Xperia 2011 GB v4.0.2.A.0.58 (those required for USB OTG helper to work, plus some other module).

I know that it is an old firmware version, but maybe someone can be interested in it, and if you think so you can add the link to those modules in the second post of your thread.

Have a nice day
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] utonto:
Thank you very much for your committment and hard work in maintaining these modules Shardul_seth!

I have read that FXP team refuses to add them because of the additional excessive power drain, do you have any figure about this? Obviously, with a USB device attached 500mA at most are drained, but I wonder if higher drain also happen with just the USB port being powered but not connected.

Again, many thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] shardul_seth:
The app adds them only when required.	Also, on my suave kernel, it does not drain any more battery. In fact, suave kernel is most battery friendly :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] utonto:
Thanks a lot for replying! I have read about your suave kernel and it really looks amazing! :good:

I have tried flashing it on my xperia Arc phone, but apparently Neo V and Arc are not compatible, at least for the display drivers (in fact my display never powered up).

Should you happen to have the chance to compile it with support for Arc and Cyanogen Mod 9 it would be great! :fingers-crossed:

I understand almost all of the kernels out there do not support CM, however the main drawback of Sony's official ICS roms is that the Full Device Encryption feature has been stripped out. Thanksfully CM team has reintroduced it.
