[q] usb host (otg)

[REDRUM2663]

This is first question I've had since I first started gettting into this stuff 5 years ago with my moto droid 1. Excuse me if this has been asked before but I am having a hard time with hooking up a mouse and keyboard via usb to my Nook HD. I cannot get anything to be read by the nook. I tested the keyboard on my nexus 7 2013 and it worked perfectly. I have been at this for a couple days now and this thing is starting to look more and more like a frizzbe. I have rooted and installed roms on droid 1, droid 2 global, razor m, droid eris, samsung galaxy nexus, nexus 7 2013, Nook HD. im at witts end why did my wife buy this thing... Thank you in advance for all of your help.


I figured it out. Last time I do a dirty rom flash. Now if only I had a kernal designed to save juice...

verygreen has an apk to force enable usbhost, i use it with a mouse and keyboard and it works perfectly. But you got it working to thats great.

Im way out of my depth when its matters dealing with android kernels etc, so can I use the usb switcher if I can download it * on a rooted from the device Nook HD as opposed to one running CMC from SD card. Or are there other changes compiled into the kernel needed also.

If it will work any chance the changes needed to drive a usb camera could also be packaged up for side loading?

thanks


* I kept getting server timed out

The device driver for the USB device type needs to be in the kernel.

Thanks for the info ill have to see if I can follow the instructions for making a CWM sd system then.

You can download a pre-made CM10.2 SD-card image archived file cm_ovation_10.2.0-RCx_ddmmyyyy_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/, then just unzip the file (e.g., with 7-Zip) and burn it to a SD card, and it's ready to go (assuming your HD+ can boot from SD card).

To get a sense of which USB device is supported, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307585.

sorry to bother you or any other nook masters on here.
I am running verygreen's kernel 3.0.31 -hummingbird-green+ jun 13 2013
cyanogen 10.1
i have usb storage in storage menu as well as apps that can mount devices and storage. I also have the usbhostswitcher app as well as another one I found on here that helps for this.

I have the female to female adapter...yet no signs of it working whether I connect a mouse, usb flash drive, etc. I bought the adapter from the ebay link from verygreen post and ordered another one from diff seller today just in case...
Any thing I need besides the apps? Also anyone get a usb - to - ethernet adapter to work for this nook?
thank you all for any input

I don't think a simple female-to-female adapter would do, you need to use a USB OTG adapter.

it has been done by verygreen with standard usb f-f.
