There are only 2 possibilities to get USB Host:

1. Wait for the WM2005 ROM for Magician, maybe HTC implemented the USB Host driver with it ;-)

2. Wait for HTC Trinity, maybe it has USB Host.

However, both options are not very realistic, because a WLAN USB Stick pulls 500 mA from the battery, so you get about 30 minutes battery life...

An USB Host has to provide power to the connected devices, and this is the reason why we probably won't ever see it on a mass market device.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
You think you connect any USB device on that Host and it works? Like printers, scanners etc? Sorry, but you're dreaming. You need drivers for this and they just don't exist. There are no USB GPS mice that work with Pocket PCs and there are no Wifi sticks that work with Pocket PCs, period.

The only thing you could do is connect some mass storage device and use this. Besides that I'm 100% sure that the Magician doesn't support USB Host functionality, period.

So get a new PPC with Wifi and use Wifi disks etc. USB host would be nice but no Phone Edition device that I know of has it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pixelfreak:
It would be SOOOOOO nice to connect a harddisk to my magician. A 4GB SD Card cannot store all my MP3s. And I want them all in my Car.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
Actually, Eten M500 supports it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ultimate Chicken:
Certain drivers do exist; like the JetCet unofficial ones. You'd also need to load drivers for SD-IO cards as well (IIRC the Sandisk Wifi/Mem combo needed a driver), so drivers are actually a non-issue. What matters is that it can be done.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cr2:
Magician also supports USB host, because

your BT is attached there. So what? It is the 500mA

current source and the electrical connection to

the USB socket that counts.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ImmortalU:
Currents not a problem i should think. All USB devices are standard 0.5A supply.. and all USB devices use the same supply.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] georgex:
I have a GPS with no bluetooth output, and would like to pass location data to programs running on the pocket pc.

Why buy a bluetooth gps, if I can do the same thing using just a cable?

As for the power drawn in this case, the GPS has its own batteries, so I guess it would not use any power from the pocket pc.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
I think USB Host would be very useful mainly for when on holiday or touring the World on a career break.

1. Being able to pack a very cheap USB keyboard for writing emails etc.

2. Being able to copy your digital pictures to CD-ROM and posting a copy back home (just in case your camera / memory cards get stolen / lost etc.) and also not having to buy so many memory cards.

You can buy standalone devices for 2 but they cost over £200!

3. It would have been nice if I could have plugged my wired GPS receiver into the magician rather than having to buy a bluetooth one. Not everyone wants to use bluetooth especially on 6 hour long hikes. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't actually use the bluetooth at all.

Having said that my wife has just got a Loox N500 that has a built in SirfStar III GPS so we'll probably use that out hiking from now on.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
Where do you have that information from?

Pocket PCs with USB host usually don't have a power supply for USB. That is not neccessary for host functionality.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
I haven't heard about a USB GPS receiver with Windows Mobile drivers. Do you know any?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
It matters if they exist. The manufacturers have to write WM USB drivers for the few devices which have USB host functionality. That is expensive. SDIO slots are available in almost all SD slot PDAs (which are currently more and more replaced by Mini and Micro SD), so more drivers can be found there. It is the issue of costs.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caleb_dm:
Dear All,

I have updated my note to the official 4.1.2 rom.

However I have found that my app storage space is only 2 GB.

Even though i have a 16gb phone model.

This is way to little for me as I want to install rather large games.

Could someone please advice me on how to be able to increase my app storage?

Kind Regards,

Caleb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank Chandwani:
Dude.. you get 2 gb to store app and rest is USB storage for data. Search swapping memory card with internal storage and you'll find the solution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyam:
If you think you are going to install too many apps or want to keep less load on that 2GB partition, use the AppMgr. With this, you can move most of the apps (not all apps are movable) to SD (i.e, 11GB which shows as USB Storage).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en

For larger games, use GL to SD(root).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbGYuTGlzdGdsQXBwIl0.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majdinj:
the 2gb is for app installing only, while the rest of memory is repartitioned in sdcard0 (about 11gb) that is used to store app data

I have about 4 GL games installed in my device and still I have about 6gb free in sdcard0.

Yes if you want to install a lot of space eater games, you need to install some folder mounters app that you can find in Google play store ^-^

Dear members,

The time came to say goodbye! The project is abandoned!!!! It is over now!!! :'( There will not be an newer release of BluePill because I bought an iPhone :( Yes, I know everybody will hate me for that but I think it is better than staying with a low budget smartphone!!! Thank you for supporting me!!! It was a great time here!!! I hope that somebody will take over this project!!!

E405

Can i flash E400 rom on E405....?:silly:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
As I know you cannot flash E400 Roms on the E405 because of the hardware but I haven't tested it yet. You can try out if it works and tell me about it but there is a chance of bricking your device. I'm not sure if E400 Roms work on E405. It's like the Galaxy Ace.

Roms for the S5830 Ace doesn't work on S5830i Ace because of different hardware but they look the same.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] sooorajjj:
waow verry very thanks

downloading now keep up the good work
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] andwie:
com.android.phone force close when I try to enter APN settings :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] peter36-:
I congratulate perfect, better for me than the cm9, the camera ok, ok phone, the 3G is not as I have not, I repeat perfect, as serious note good radio, but not going to have everything.

P.d, the perfect SDMerg the last step.:cowboy::good::good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mrazz_:
awesome .. i want to try it :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] g.carvalho97:
Hey, is it multilingual? I want to try it, since I'm formatting my device and reverting it to stock.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Thanks for all positive feedback :) I'm happy that you like it :) I wanna keep up working on it but let me time :)

Yes, It is multilingual. All languages which are included with the AOSP by Google
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] g.carvalho97:
It has brazilian portuguese lang, but since gingerbread needs less memory than ICS, I'll pass.

I'm downloading it, though ;D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mrazz_:
it also occurred to me ... overall is good :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] G.M.L:
Is this rom go with sdmerg?

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] peter36-:
if you put your.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] G.M.L:
Of course that I mean if I put SD merg after install the rom

Στάλθηκε από το LG-E400 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Sdmerg can propably work but you have to delete the settings.apk in the package if there is one.

If you don`t do it the AOSP settings.apk will be replaced by CyanogenMods settings.apk.

I will try to include SDmerge with AOSP v2.0 and fix the Brightness, Volume and APN bug in the settings which force closes after starting.

I`m not a fan of SDmerge :( So I`ll do my best for development of this Rom...:) But I can`t tell you if SDmerge will come because it is made for CM and my Rom has just a part of CM and the most is ported from Maclaw Studio
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] G.M.L:
OK thanks for the moment ill stay in cm9 and I see if I try later and I tell you if and how its work with sdmerg

Στάλθηκε από το LG-E400 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Okay :) I don't want to copy CyanogenMod or something else... :D I will try to port SDmerg today and If it works I will release the ''.zip'' today or tomorrow. But there will be a development for SDmerg :) Don't worry :)

Edit: I just read about SDmerg...No positive things :( SDmerg activates Mass Storage. AOSP has since Ice Cream Sandwich a PTP/MTP connection only except CyanogenMod-ICS. The same for the Lockscreen! AOSP doesn't have 6 targets only 4. And under the pictures in the original thread there is a text: "CM9 is required". Sorry i'm a beginner so I don't have experiences like other xdadevelopers :(

For everyone who is using SDmerg right now: Please stay in CyanogenMod 9 and don't download my Rom. :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] peter36-:
yes, only SDMergE400_step4_v1.3b
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Ok, I looked at the zip-files of sdmerge... :) Is it possible to remove the build.prop from ''SDmergE400_step4''??? If this is possible I will upload the edited SDmergE400 :)

*Post deleted*
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] peter36-:
hello, a question, for that three zip, to put the sdmerge?

I with an all ok?:rolleyes:

with this:SDMergE400_step4_v1.3b

follow, how to make, the first pots of yours, and then finally the sdmerge :confused:

you could edit the first post of yours with sdmerge yours?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Yes I did Sdmerge by downloading from gellmars thread and editing the build.prop file to make it working for my rom...the build.prop of Sdmerge had elements of CyanogenMod9 so I replaced the whole file with my file from the AOSP Rom. It is just a test release to see if it works...;)

When sdmerge is working fine I will post it to the first post :) And if you wanna have SDMergE400_step4_v1.3b I can also edit it..
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
And flash it with the tutorial of gellmar!!! It's exactly the same procedure as with CyanogenMod
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] peter36-:
ok, if you want to edit the SDMergE400_step4_v1.3b, I try it with no problems.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
So here is SDmergE400 v1.3(b)

Download: http://d-h.st/z4q :)

Settings.apk was removed in this package because it would replace the AOSP with the CM one :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] peter36-:
ok, then I put it, and you commented.:)

danke;)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Bitte ;) We can't speak german here cause if we do it we break the xda-rules :laugh: :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] andwie:
Yes but I can't browse internet without resetting the APN.
[MENTION=5342378]ics_fan[/MENTION], can you fix this?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Yes, but I cannot tell you if I fix it but I can always try to do something :) I think the problem is the settings.apk or the com.android.phone process (phone.apk). I will release a v2 asap. I think it will already come this month :) I won't give prereleases or smth else... I can tell you that I will update some apps and libs and I will try to fix that f*****g brightness, volume and apn bug in the settings.apk :)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] g.carvalho97:
Is this ROM compatible with SDMerge400? (I think it is, it's based on CM9...)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
It is based on Maclaw Rom but it has cm codes... mixed
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] g.carvalho97:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot and say if it's compatible.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Does sdmerge400 work on my Rom? I want to know it as soon as possible because if it's not compatible I will delete the link to keep the others from bricking their device. :) I haven't tested it so far cause I don't need memory extensions.

It is a Maclaw Rom (From Galaxy Gio) with CM-Kernel (suxsem@SUXSEM-NOTEB-LUBUNTU#6). So I mixed both Roms... I think that the Rom is really nice and that is my first Rom I made :) That's why I left my Galaxy Ace GT.-S5830i (it was sh*t) :D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] g.carvalho97:
Man, sorry to keep you waiting, was busy with some stuff here :@

SDMerge400 works with your ROM, and your work is great looking! It's some CM and some AOSP, it's something that I have never seen... Just AMAZING, keep up the good work! ;D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] andwie:
Yes, don't worry about that. I had to manually edit the apns-conf.xml and my apn problem was solved. BTW I create rom(s) too so I know how you feel, so thank you and keep up the good work :good:

So that means I can change your kernel to other CM9 kernel (e.g. Gellmar's kernel to fix USB Mass Storage)?

BTW I still use CM9.1 on my Ace, but this is certainly better than CM9 for L3 :D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] g.carvalho97:
Yes, you can, I flashed SDMerge400, it comes with overclocked kernel and it's working fine :D
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
Ok, So its working :) Watch out with the SDmergE400!!! The settings.apk will be replaced by the CM one. So remove the 'settings.apk' in every CyanogenMod package to keep the AOSP Settings :) In the package I uploaded there is NO settings.apk so you will get AOSP Settings. And you can overclock with NoFrills CPU Control ;)

Edit:@andwie Can you send me the fixed file for APN? I can include it into the Rom for a Bugfix so there will be a fully working APN in v2 without any editing files
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] G.M.L:
So if I want to flash this rom I do:

Wipe cache-dalvik-data-battery

Mount system

Flash the from

And finish I flash the sdmerg file where you upload and reboot?????

No,

Data wipe

Cache wipe

Dalvik wipe

Battery stats wipe

/format system

/format cache

/format data

mount /system

Flash Rom

/mount system

Flash SDmergE400

Note: Flashing without a format /system is suicide :) Run that steps to perform a FRESH install of Android 4.0.4 AOSP :)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] G.M.L:
Know I am with one rom with SD merge if I format system or data did I have problem I'll lose something? And if I flash sdmerg its necessary to flash and your kernel or no?

Στάλθηκε από το LG-E400 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
When you format /system and data and cache you will only lose your Android-System and your Apps. Pictures Music etc which are saved on the internal or external sd will not get lost! By mounting System and flashing ROM you will get a fresh installed Android-System. It is NOT necessary to format /system but I really recommend it because you will have a smooth and fresh Android on your device.

To the thing with Sdmerg and the Kernel. SdMergE400 is just for persons which want to extend the space for apps and personal data. ATTENTION: You MUST have an external SD for using SDmergE400! If you don't have an EXTERNAL sd please don't flash SDmergE400. Just flash the Kernel which you find in the first post. ;)

You have to choose. SdMergE400 OR Suxsem-Kernel (Kernel_for_AOSP.zip)

No, not yet.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] ics_fan:
andwie edited an .xml in the ROM to make it working. I will ask him to give me the edited file. I think APN will work in v2 without force closing (com.android.phone). v2 will come soon. Don't worry I will fix :)

Edit: Please give me that file, andwie :) I understood you :)

Oh sorry I haven't seen your post.. OOPS sorry :) But do you think that porting the com.android.phone process from Maclaw will fix that problem??? ::confused: I will begin to make an experimental build for that problem.

Does Exchange.apk have to do with Incoming/Outgoing Calls? APN works but I cannot receiving/making calls because com.android.phone stopping working... I replaced whole app folder with files from Galaxy Gio to maybe have good results :(

Edit: I got an idea to replace only TelephonyProvider.apk :)

Edit: Flashing new ROM with new TelephnyProvider.apk...

Edit: Still the same error while calling somebody (com.android.phone stopped working) Crazy is that just the phone app is crashing and the TelephonyProvider is running in the background and I can talk with somebody even the phone.apk is crashed... o_O APN is working without any bug right now... only incoming/outgoing don't work. I wonder that GIO Apps are working on our LGE400 pretty well... o_O TelephonyProvider.apk for example

Edit: Don't laugh at me or something else... I really want to make APN working for my Rom even I never use it ;)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] G.M.L:
