Fordex Group Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power for Nexus 7 Galaxy S III & Galaxy Nexus

(Fordex Group seems to be a fake company, they just get these cables off chinese manufactorers, and the quality seems to be the same of the Amazon/Ebay counterparts, excepts the shipping is local to the USA, and faster, and the cables seem to work ok, and also ok quality)

Anker® Astro 3E 10000mAh Dual USB Backup External Battery Pack Portable Power Pack Charger for most Smartphones, Tablets and other USB-charged devices

Probably overkill. This thing is heavy and big (5.6 x 2.8 x 0.6 inches ; 8.6 ounces), but for any tablet, I need at least 2.1A output (this one does 3Amps)

WD 1TB Passport Ultra Edition

Meenova MicroSDHC Adapter for Nexus devices in mind

So, I have tried both ElementalX, and the Glitch kernel with stock based ROMS (CleanROM right now), and it's sweet. I am able to give power to the 1TB HDD, and also the tablet at the same time, and read/write to the external HDD to watch movies, and move files using Stickmount Pro + ES Explorer, or Nexus MediaImporter with a prettier UI (bought both just to support) using the Glitch Kernel, and that Y OTG cable.

I can also disable charge mode, and connect the 1TB directly to the tablet to read/write, however, using the tablet to power the 1TB HDD is not good, it's awesome for the small Meenova tiny adapter, but not for the 1TB HDD (slow dowsn, gets too hot, and drains fast).

I can also use the Meenova MicroSDHC reader with the same Y OTG , using a MicroUSB to USB adapter that came with the Meenova adapter (because it has a MicroUSB plug that should go DIRECTLY into the tablet)

My problem is that I wish to do both; charge, and power both, tablet and 1TB at the same time with the Y OTG cable, BUT, also be able to plug the Meenova adapter directly to the tablet without having to use the Y OTG cable, and charger, which I can't.

The option enabled on the glitch kernel to allow me to charge, and OTG at the same times is this:

"Enable USB+OTG Charge mode

Allows charging in USB host mode (disables self-powered OTG)"

"(disables self-powered OTG)" I guess this is what doesn't let me plug, and use the Meenova directly into the tablet without a power source :(

Does anyone know if there is a way to be able to do both?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Norcalz71:
Related to this, is it possible to run two drives/card readers at the same time?

What I would like to do, while traveling, is similar to the setup you have with the battery pack powering the external drive. I would like to use a card-reader and external drive at the same time to process my photos and gopro videos from the memory cards to my external drive directly, rather than going from the memory cards to the nexus, then the nexus to the external drive.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenetvines:
Hello. I am able to do this with my setup. Read carefully though, you don't want to break or damage a 1TB HDD, but I'm no electrician either. Also, the read/write speeds between microSD and HDD are ok-ish. Read on:

Sorry for bad quality pic, I have the oldest phone ever at reach :s.

Ok, here's the hub that I bought, which maybe the culprit of the slow transfer speeds maybe? I don't know. Also, sometimes the "Remaining time" may not be the most accurate. Considering the 1TB HDD is USB 3.0, and the Micro SDHC is class 10 (the fastest supposedly).

Also, the movie is 2.43 GB @ 520 KB/S may not be that bad for pictures. I don't know. I can make more tests with pictures if you want.

Onite® GrayBean Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Card Reader SD(HC)/MS/M2/TF 7 in 1 Card Reader, 3 USB 2.0 Port Adapter HUB, and OTG Adapter, Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Note 3/ Note 8.0 / Galaxy S4 S3 / Nexus 4 5 7

It is the "Tab 3" generation of that hub, and the more expensive. I just bought it for fun really.

Here's something that worries me though. I'm almost sure that I damaged, and broke my previous external 1TB HDD by using only 1A (amp) as a power source.

I was using my trusty original HTC wall charger. The label in it clearly reads 1A output, and that's ok for cellphones, but maybe not for a WD 1TB external HDD. I say original, because Amazon sells a lot of FAKE HTC wall chargers, because the originals are GOOD quality for their original purpose.

I say this, because when using a 1A wall charger with the 1TB HDD, -AND- the tablet, it seemed slower, and the sound of the spinning disc inside sounded weaker as well.

The 1TB HDD would only 'sound' normal, and fully working (and NOT weak) when using at least a 1.35A source from the original wall charger for the Nexus 7 2013, which just happens to output 1.35A.

The only reason I don't understands this is because all laptops, and PC's draw out only 0.5A, which is a standard, and the WD 1TB HDD works just fine when plugged into them. So, I don't know... all I know is that I don't want to use a 1A source for the HDD, and the tablet at the same time, and I see many people here saying that it works just fine, but they maybe forcing it, because that 1A is used by the 1TB HDD AND the tablet at the same time. :confused: Be careful, and don't use the tablet as the power source for a WD 1TB either.

Charging + external 3g / lte stick

I tried to hook up 3g and charging at the same time.

But it didnt work. Can anyone else try this?

I build a y cable of my own. Charging and mouse/ keybord is working. But not 3g.

I guess it doesnt get enough amper for the 3g stick, so same problem like 1. Post?

Guys, you're changing the format of the original question :S

I don't mind helping out, but would like to know about the original issue...

As for the 3G question; Is that a 3G dongle or hub people use to have internet through a carrier?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] stevo_87:
In the preferred network setting it always reverts back to GSM after selecting global. No signal in gsm mode. If anyone has a fix for this please let me know, thank you!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eastside08:
You have to toggle airplane mode in your notication bar.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
Why would it revert back to GSM? Are you not using an SPR device? Have you flashed to a different network? 4.4.247 has no connectivity bugs to my knowledge; I'm the one who builds it here. More information please, and I'll offer any help I can.

Thank you for the replies. I ended up reflashing and it is working perfect now. By far my favorite ROM.

Thread updated for 4.4.3. Attached to the OP is also a list of changes (diff) from the previous version. Please re-read the OP for updated information.

I've created this version of gapps mostly because the file permissions were incorrect with all the other gapps versions floating around out there. Also, I dont like how all the other gapps versions replace the stock applications with Google's versions. The CM ROMs can't be properly tested, if all the stock applications are being replaced with Google's versions.

Note: when updating to the 4.4.3 gapps, uninstall any updates for the following apps in the list below because they have been updated to the latest Play Store versions:

Cloud Print

Gmail

Google Text to Speech

Hangouts

Talkback

Upon further testing with CalendarProvider.apk, it appears that the stock CM calendar application does not function properly anymore. The stock CM calendar application is unable to respond to scheduling appointments in the agenda via gmail notifications when using CalendarProvider.apk. The only way to use CalendarProvider.apk is to remove the stock CM calendar application and replace it with Google's Calendar application. Therefore, I have removed the CalendarProvider.apk from gapps and reverted back to GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. The stock CM calendar application works completely fine with GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk.

Latest Android 4.4.3 version with working stock Calendar:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] lokesh.3440:
Yes you can flash without wiping,,but please make sure you format system before flashing.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Update instructions:

1) reboot to recovery

2) format /system (no other wipes needed)

3) install cm rom

4) install new gapps

5) install any other patches you want

6) reboot to android

Note: no settings will be lost because we don't need to wipe data/cache partitions.

3) flashed cm camera fix

4) wipe cache/dalvik cache

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Format /system first, then flash the rom. Next, flash gapps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] lokesh.3440:
i did tried that as well... is it necessary to flash camera fix everytime i flash gapps/ROM ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
The camera patch needs to be applied over when you install the rom again. Gapps only needs to be installed once because it uses automatic backup scripts upon upgrades.

You don't need to wipe cache/data partitions when updating gapps. If you want to clean orphan cache/data, then Ti Backup has an option to clean dalvik cache and remove orphans without having to format it.

gapps-kk-20140606-1-signed.zip

A new official cm11 gapps package has been released (gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip) on its official website. I have merged my latest version of gapps with the latest official gapps package.

A few notes:

1) The official gapps package (gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip) has a bug in the gapps backup script. None of the new libraries have been added to the backup list. This is fixed in my latest version.

2) Bluetooth low energy google framework is now removed from latest gapps package because its not being used.

3) MediaUploader.apk has been added to enable ability of uploading to picasa account.

4) ConfigUpdater.apk has been added to enable configuration support.

5) libjni_latinime.so has been removed because it was overwriting an preexisting file from cm11

6) Upgraded Google apps to 4.4.3

7) Added/Removed libraries from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Several apps that I regularly use don't support ART yet, so I have not been able to test ART.

It is confusing to me which rom and libraries the other popular gapps packages are using as a base. I would like to know which rom PA and Banks gapps are based off of. When I decompile the gapps from Banks and PA, the version numbers match the nexus 5 stock 4.4.3 Rom, but the libraries are not the same as the stock nexus 5 4.4.3 rom.

There appears to be inconsistencies in the versions. I have synced everything to the stock nexus 5 4.4.3 rom. The libraries should match the version numbers of the system apks.

I have reverted my gapps package back to gapps-kk-20140606-1 and have also created a minimal gapps package for this version (gapps-kk-20140606-1-minimal-signed.zip)

ART framework should now work as expected with these versions.

After some testing, I have reverted back to my previous version 20140606-1 of gapps because the new libraries found on the Nexus 5 Stock ROM are not fully compatible with CM11.

Links to the normal and minimal gapps packages can be found on the OP. These versions of gapps should solve all of the reported issues.

Thanks for testing.

gapps-kk-20140620-1-signed.zip

Updated OP with Standard and Minimal Gapps for Android 4.4.4.

Notes: Dirty flash on top of previous gapps (gapps-kk-20140606-1) is suggested upgrade method. You don't need to format /system and reflash the ROM. Just flash new gapps and that is it (if you are updating from my previous version).
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I was not able to get this working with your 4.4.4 package. Same problem with stock CM Calendar. When I press "yes" to accept event, it just hangs the email client (pressing back will kill the app, long-press). I have to export the ICS file and import it with a 3rd party tool. I know this used to work but I've tried several gapps packages and all do the same. If I disable CM Calender and download Google Calendar, it opens Chrome and tells me the event was sent to my personal email address and not my Google address and can't add it.

Very frustrating. Hope someone comes up with a working fix.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Hmm. I just tested responding to calendar events from gmail with 4.4.4 and it worked as expected. Maybe it is because I am only syncing calendar events from only one gmail account. Have you enabled the calendar sync in the account settings?

Edit: make sure you follow the upgrade instructions on the OP where the first step is to format /system. Maybe the problem is just an installation issue.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
It doesn't seem to matter what version of Gapps I use, same problem. I always do a clean install when installing them (so format /system). I'm not responding to calendar events in my GMail but rather the stock CM Email client. It's a Google calendar invite and gives me the option of Yes/No/Maybe/More Options and hangs on this. Logcat shows it's having a problem with the calendar provider.

Fairly certain it was working sometime ago between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 ;) Just need to find the magic combo again I guess. End of the day, it doesn't understand .ICS attachments (need 3rd party to merge into Calendar). I suppose I can just migrate over to GMail and see how it works out.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
You are right. It's working in gmail, but not in the stock email client.

Edit: GoogleCalendarSyncAdapater.apk is currently version 4.4-927798 (which is the same version since Android 4.4.2).
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
gapps-kk-20140620-2-signed.zip

Ive uploaded a new version of gapps with the following changes:

1) Remove ConfigUpdater.apk to prevent system wide changes to selinux and internal firewall policies

2) Update ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk to 4.4-927798

3) Remove some unused system libraries

lib/libpatts_engine_jni_api.so (for old version of Text to Speech)

lib/libplus_jni_v8.so (for Google+)

lib/libWVphoneAPI.so (for Google Movies)

These libraries would only need to be installed if Google+ and Google Movies are installed as system applications. If these applications are installed from the play store, then these libraries are already included in the apk files.

4) Update Google Search (Velvet.apk)

Note: If you already have ConfigUpdater.apk installed, in order to remove the policy changes from ConfigUpdater.apk, it might be necessary to factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] josfr4ncisco:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Sure, I will post updated gapps packages if there are any changes or patches needed. Most of the components within the gapps package update through the play store and the 4.4.4 framework files have not changed since 4.4.4 was released.

Minimal gapps

Hi, what is minimal gapps as opposed to just gapps?? What is missing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
The minimal gapps package basically contains only the play store and all the libraries and framework necessary to install applications found in the play store.

For example, gmail, Google search, talk back have been removed because they can be installed from the play store instead. Basically, everything that can be installed manually from the play store has been removed from the minimal package.

Edit; to be specific, here is a list of what is removed:

CloudPrint2.apk

Gmail2.apk

GoogleTTS.apk (text to speech)

Hangouts.apk

Talkback.apk

Velvet.apk (Google search)
