Help connecting a usb xbox 360 controller to my s3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have a usb xbox 360 controller (realy a usb nothing a charge cable) and a OTG cable, I've seen many videos where to connect these control the galaxy s3 is automatically recognized but in my phone with JB 4.2 and stock kernel only frash the lights, not recognized in any way with any buttons ...... Wath I do wrong?
Sorry for my bad ..VERY BAD ENGLISH xD but this I mean:

Hey everyone, I'm having the same problem and unfortunately searching has not provided a definitive answer. Some youtube vids and articles say you can just plug and play, others say you need to root and use the sixaxis app or the usb/bt joystick app.
Like the OP I have an S3 on 4.1.1, but when I plug in the official wired xbox pad, it doesn't appear to be recognised. Youtube vids show grand theft auto 3 working without anything more then using an OTG cable to connect the pad. I downloaded the usb/bt joystick app and it recognises the pad, but pretty sure I would need to root the phone in order for that to work properly (although I did manage to get the analogue sticks working at least).
If anyone knows for definite whether the pad should work without any apps I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

I already made a small research, it was a big dump of crap
For native support, we need first of all, recomiled xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko modules for the latest kernel, but no of the devs took a look at this problem.
As a programmer noob, I wasnt even able to do this, so it is still up to the devs for helping out on this ****.
I also mailed samsung and the told me, they will pass on the actual situation and maybe we will ged support in near future. so take it on and contract samsung, possibly it will bring something
and sorry for my bad english, hadnt any real conversation for more than a half year.

Yeah man you you're right ... just waiting.

Thanks guys, much appreciated! Guess I'll just wait it out then, the people in the vids must have rooted, was kinda hard to tell.

Of course you need root, mate, without root there is nothing possible.
Only with root you can place modules inside your system partition, use init.d and launch modules trough an terminal emulator or just as I said, have a custom kernel with init.d support, so you can setup a script, that will start the modules just at boot of your phone.
but I havent found anyone who could do this, and I dont have any ideas how to code or compile the ****^^
there are also some versions of the module e.g. for ICS kernels, for GB too, and for extremely old based kernels like 2.6.xxxx, but nothing for exynos based 3.0.31 kernel that sucks

cideko simple box

I recently got my hands on a quite interesting device, a cideko simple box.
Just for the sake of it, I'd like to hack it, and maybe even get a custom rom on it.
It's basically a set-up-multimedia-thingy-box for a TV running android, and it's pretty damn cheap.
Using adb via TCP/IP I was already able to connect and also get a rootshell (yay!)
However, it seems like no firmware files/instructions how to flash are available by the manufacturer (nay!)... I already asked them nicely, let's see what I get back.
You can find the adb bugreport output here if you're curious.
Anyone wants to help?
Florian
Saw this hardware before. 600Mhz, no openGL or any accelleration for games, nothing.
It does play back media files, but that's about it.
Very low-end chipset from Skyviia.. ARMv5TEJ at ~228 bogomips is pretty bad.
Does it support the install of apk files from USB? and does it allow flash on websites?

Did you manage to customise your Simplebox? I bought one and the description said "Install Apps and games via the built in SD card slot (APK files)" but I can't find anything in the manual.

I have one too. I like the device and the air keyboard, plus it was pretty cheap. I was really pleased that SMB/CIFS support worked out of the box and witha few other things, but thats where it stops. The software included is the let down, not the machine itself. Video playback is out of sync 99% of the time until you fast forward and/or rewind then it magically syncs up again, only 1 CIFS connection at a time, the vast majority of apps will not install and those that do fail to run, the video software displays long file names in such a way, that you cannot determine which file is which, etc. I sent Cideko an email asking them to pretty please provide a new update addressing these issues, but I heard nothing back and I sent it months ago.
The picture is good, the device is unobtrusive and if you rename your file appropriately then it is a bearable media streamer, but it could have been the best little cheap media box ever with just a little care and attention. Disappointing that no one is interested in improving it.

[Q] [Request/Questions] Screenrecording

Hello everybody,
firstly i wanted to say that i'm very new to this forum, and also my english is not so good (or how we say here in germany: my english is not the yellow from the egg ^^).
So, whats the Problem?
How you can read in the title i'm searching for something, to record a screen. BUT: yeah, of course there are 1000s of tutorials on the net how to record with quite a good framerate, and why do i create this thread when i know that it's already around in the net? Because that's not what i'm searching for. I do not want to record my android screen, but my pc monitor. And because if you use fraps, the video get's really big and you need much more resources to record in good quality, i thought that maybe the smartphone could record what happens on the pc.
How could it work?
Well the first thing i thought of whas the mini-usb to hdmi cable that lays around here anywhere. So maybe you could simply use the hdmi output of the pc and turn the monitor mode this way, that you have the same picture on both "monitors" and the android phone just records what comes out of the cable (in easy, non professional words)
Otherwise i would think of something with the usb cable, for this there must be something installed on the pc of course.
So the first thing i'd like to know from you is that you think if it's possible and of course how it could works.
phone data:
sgs2 i9100
Jellybam 5.2.0
Dorimanx kernel v7.2.9
rooted of course ;D
greetings and thanks in advance.
so there's noone who has any experiences in this topic?

[Q] Android USB Audio Out without OTG or kernel change?

Hello. Today I have made terrible mistake when trying to turn on a device in my pc. I have changed the voltage from my source power and my pc has exploded. Luckly, only the power supply has exploded in fact, like all other things are working and I'm typing this now on my pc. However the integrated sound card from my motherboard have stop working, don't get recognized even when I try to uninstall and re-install. I think it have damaged...
Well, this sucks, but while I don't spend a few bucks trying to get a cheap off-board sound card, I was thinking if there are any way to make a android device sounds like a USB offboard sound card. I have searched in web and XDA for a answer, but always I get the solution using wifi. I already get this working, but has a small lag, and this is uncomfortable. Others resolutions always use some kind of kernel change or/and OTG support with the device.
TLDR: Now, this is my question: Someone has managed to send the audio from the PC via USB for a android in a device (like a off-board USB sound card), and this could be possible without kernel changes or OTG? (My Moto E don't support OTG, unfortunately)
PS: Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to share my unlucky story.

Any info on JXD devices? Trying to root S192.

I can't seem to find any info here (or anywhere else, really) for this device made by Chinese manufacturer JXD. Here is a link: http://www.jxd.hk/game-console/s192/
It runs the nVidia Kepler chipset. This means, in theory, I should be able to wipe this device and flash the nVidia Shield Tablet K1 stock ROM on it. I can't seem to find any information on how to do it, though. Looks like there is very little information about this particular manufacturer in general. I was wondering if anyone here has any information about this device they can share with me?
Thanks.
Hi, was just able to root mine using kingoroot (pc version) moments ago.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-root-android-4.4.htm
GL! Hope someone would make a marshmallow rom for this great device..
Kingoroot installs some apps with it on your pc and device so just uninstall them too.
Hello
at the moment there is nothing that's a shame for a jxd device does not upgrade a marshmallow
The device is great to play but this way it only uses for retro games
P.S I HOPE THAT SOMEONE VERY GOOD WE CAN HELP
BUT I BELIEVE THAT NO MAYBE it ABLE TO UPDATE THE JXD SINGULARITY
good day
Can you guys give a review of this device?
I'd like to know how the controls feel (compared to an xbox gamepad)
Additionally, I'd like to know how it works with PS4 remote play apk and moonlight (for PC streaming)
As for how to for flashing..etc I could definitely work on that as I'm looking to buy one but I'd like to know more about the device since there are ZERO reviews out there for this.
The controls are well built and it is really comfortable to hold. I had this for 4months and loved it. Unfortunately one of the joystick broke and had to return it. Return process was dodgy but luckily I got my money back. Now I have the GPD XD. User experience wise I liked the JXD S192 more.. Though mine broke, I'd still pick the JXD S192 over the GPD XD if given the chance. The screen was awesome for any gaming.. I'd honestly say they hit the sweet spot design wise.
***********WARNING FLASH/INSTALL @ YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!*************
I do not take any responsibility if anything were to go wrong in the process of installing any apps to your device!!!!!!
Hey Guys
So I recently brought the JXD S192k of GearBest and the first thought that came to mind was how i was going to root it just like all my other android devices, little did I know just how difficult it was gonna be to find any information regarding the root process.
All searches regarding this device and obtaining root were fruitless, it didn't matter what I searched under there's just isn't anything out there!
Frustrated I turned to Kingoroot only to find myself more frustrated as i needed to reroot everytime i restarted the device, each time taking longer than the last and keeping this thing ON was not an option.
Then.........I happened to stumble across something that changed everything, looking through the official JXD digital site I saw that they had a Firmware available for the previous version the S192 and in amongst the files was a Root apk. So I thought to myself there isn't much of a difference between the 2 devices so I downloaded it from the Mega site and transferred it to my device.
Once it installed it was just like the Chinese version of Kingoroot and even through everything was in Chinese you could pity much make out what you needed to press. The process it didn't take long and with the 2 root checker apps installed I confirmed that I indeed rooted my device so I went ahead and installed BusyBox to the system.
The best thing about this process is not having to worry about losing root upon restarting, there's one thing that I should mention is NOT to install any sort of SuperSu apks or zip files as you'll get a error message stating the SU binary is occupied. Just use the INBUILT supersu that comes with the Root apk and you should be fine.
Here's some screen shots taken from my system to show that it does work, along with my system details taken from Device info apk.
Hopefully someone out there in the XDA community can expand on what I've stumbled across in the hopes that one day we'll be able to get a custom recovery for our machines.
I have owned the sinigularity for about 4-5 years and I think its an awesome bit of gear for what it is. The controls work fine and feel good in the hand and I've used it with remotr linked to my PC and and found it did work fine for games that didn't require split second reflex timing but there was a little lag. Over all it worked great and you can run your PC remotely from other rooms in your house (if you wanted too).
The 10,000 mah battery is the real deal and has plenty of playtime.
I use it a lot for playing movies and link it to a projector via the HDMI output. The screen is a great size and I don't know how they didn't become more popular.
I only found this thread because I was looking for firmware upgrades but as you all know there doesn't seem to be any. Either way I'm still using it but it would be nice if they had support.

Reverse Tethering on T-820 (Option not available)

I want to be able to plug my new Galaxy Tab S3 (T-820) into my desktop computer or laptop via the USB C cable and not just move files back and forth, (which works fine), but ALSO have access to my desktop's internet connection through USB. I don't want to use WiFi.
I have an Ethernet to USB C dongle, which works fine, but it doesn't allow me to share files or charge my tablet. I'd like to be able to do all three at the same time.
In many of the "How To" articles out there where "Reverse Tethering" is described, they helpfully list the various buttons and widgets to click in order to enable this feature. However the authors always refer to menu items and buttons which don't appear under my tablet's settings. They're not just greyed out. They're simply absent. So that doesn't work.
Neither do any of the various apps on the Google Play Store and elsewhere which promise to provide reverse tethering. They just don't work.
SO...
Being new to the Android (and the smartphone) universe, I did a ton of homework and have so far figured out how to...
Root my tablet. (Done!)
Wade through the swamp of TWRP, ODIN, etc., while tripping spectacularly over the various speed bumps and permission walls provided by the likes of Samsung and Google's paranoid anti-theft (and it would seem from my use case, their anti-happiness) feature set.
Successfully install different flavors of Android.
Install both Magisk and Xposed and try their tethering unlockers with negative results.
After a week of little sleep, I've managed to get through all of this torturous nonsense and amaze myself by not having bricked or totally spoiled my tablet. It still functions! After all the warranty-voiding BS I've crammed through it, I'm feeling quite lucky.
However... I still don't have the ability to tether/reverse tether!
I've learned a lot, but I still feel mostly like a dazed and confused script kiddie (remember when 'script kiddie' was a term? Well for me, it still applies nicely.) I'm trying my level best, but various elements of this whole exercise remain opaque. This is my first post in any forum asking for advice because I finally hit the outer bounds of my DIY energies and pride.
So, if you will indulge my humble request, what I want to know is...
1. Is my tablet even capable on a hardware level of performing a reverse tether, or has the manufacturer locked that feature out so that even a ROM which promises to turn it on will fail to do so?
AND...
2. If it IS possible for a ROM to turn on the tether/reverse tether feature, which one is it and where can I find it?
2a. If there is another solution.., what is it?
I'm currently on...
Android Version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version 9.0
Kernel Version 3.18.71-13482624
Build Number R16NW.T820XXU1BRE2
I bought this unit off Amazon; it was a refurb and I didn't get it through some cellular provider nor do I have a phone plan. I don't know where this tablet originally came from, but it was all new, sealed and shiny in the box when I got it.
Thanks!
I can appreciate losing a week of sleep. But I don't understand why you need to reverse tether. Enable WiFi and there you go. I think the last time I needed to tether a device through my laptop's internet connection would have been the 1990s.
FWIW the USB-C connector on the TAB S3 is different because if you want to drive an HDMI monitor you need a DisplayLink chip enabled dongle and DisplayLink Presenter app running on the Tab S3. Whereas on my TAB S4 I can just plug any regular old USB-C -> HDMI dongle and display on the monitor. So odds are trying to get reverse tethering working on the Tab S3 is going to be an exercise in futility.
Hi there, you still looking for reverse tethering for android? i found & use this for a while... you can check github link here : https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
working well on my S3.
Holy cow, it works!

What...? It worked?! Thank-you!
It's hard to believe how much effort and research I'd put into this, how many promising fixes I tried and which failed. In truth I'd given up weeks ago and found myself scornfully looking at the expensive tablet by my desk, wondering if I should hang on to it for its limited uses or sell it on eBay.
Thanks for posting! I can now do what I wanted with this machine.
For others, just follow the directions on the github link provided in the previous post.
I just scrolling around to find fixes for wifi issue - it connect & reconnect every times when on my office connection. Since me unable to use wifi, i try to find the work around using LAN connection. Then i found that.
Happy i can help others. Cheers mate.
