Keyboard Cover for Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day
I just registered to this forum and hope someone can help me. I have been battling with this for several days now
I have a 9.7" Android 4.0.4 T05 tablet with Kernel version 3.0.8+. I have a keyboard cover which uses a mini usb port. The keyboard works when tested on another tablet with same specs yet it will not work on mine. The tablet can be accessed with the computer via the mini usb port which shows me that the usb port should be working. I have downloaded the app "USB Host Controller" (not sure if this means anything or whether it is accurate) which under the info section reads:
USB Host Controller
Version number: 0.44
S3C USB Host driver NOT found!
Root hub present, USB Host mode active!
What am I missing? Why will this keyboard not work? Any help will be highly appreciated!
Sorry if I am duplicating an existing thread but I am still new here and could not find a thread which matched my problem.
Thank you

Would this problem mean that the cause is the tablet having hardware not working? Maybe a driver?

[Q] Is there a joydev.ko for sgs2 USB otg joypads?

I got an otg adapter for my sgs2 yesterday and I realised there is no joydev.ko in my modules to allow the use of USB joypads. Is there one in existance or can anyone make one?
I am using cm7.

I tried to compile the module several times but I always have format errors.
Damn. Really wanna use my ps2 pad with USB adapter!

Good news !
I have a working joydev kernel module !
just type in a terminal:
Code:
su
insmod joydev.ko
My USB joystick is detected ("dmesg" to get the info) so I installed the Gamepad IME app https://market.android.com/details?id=de.killig.gamepadime and selected it as my main input.
But then I just tried to use my gamepad in an emulator and it doesn't work. So if someone can try with another gamepad it may work, I guess.
some better news
Things getting better !
I decided to compile myself the joydev kernel module using the latest Samsung sources, file is attached BTW.
Code:
So my joystick is detected now!
<6>[52193.706763] input: DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Wheel as /devices/platform/s3c_otghcd/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/input/input8
<6>[52193.708762] generic-usb 0003:0079:0008.0003: input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Wheel ] on usb-s3cotg-1/input0
I decided to use "the Gamepad IME" app from the market but at laucnh I had a "0 gamepads detected" error Weird as my joystick was detected as a device !
I decided to check the java sources of Gamepad IME (http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/)
and noticed an error there as it started to check to joy1 and not joy0.
I have zero knowledge of the Android SDK so I did it the hard way :
Code:
chmod 777 /dev/input/js0
ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/input/js1
So now Gamepad IME is detecting my joystick !
But then I tried to use it on N64droid but the gamepad has no impact on key mapping (user input method is checked).
So it's a dead end for now, so any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated!
Thanks
Wow this is awesome. Looks like we might actually get a working module. Will this work with cm7?

It was made using the Samsung kernel sources, and I don't know much about CM7 and its kernel origins.
when i type insmod joydev.ko it says init_module '/system/lib/modules/joydev.ko' failed (Exec format error)
So I guess its not compatible

I did this because the Nexus One has a built in device that gets detected as js0. I modified it and updated it in the Market.

A good test is to switch a text input field to the Gamepad IME and press all the gamepad sticks/buttons. Since I send normal key presses and DPAD directions, this should be visible.
But I have another problem with yongzh's NESoid emulator: Somehow a SGS2 system process seems to send button events besides the ones I send, and they are erroneously detected.
Although I don't have a joypad to use for this, I appreciate your development work to help get this to work on SGS2. Maybe this effort can get more visibility and help if moved to the development section? Or start a new thread focused on the development since the OP is a question.
I posted in the dev section some updates: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240278 as my gamepad is working now on SGSII.
Can anyone compile joydev.ko for AOSP based roms like MIUI and CM7? Or mabye someone can guide me in compiling this?
EDIT: Whoa... sorry. I didn't realize how old this thread was. I need to get more sleep!

[Q] connecting rooted SGS II to MAC

Help required in getting the rooted SGSII connected to my MAC for transferring data.
I am currently on miuiandroid-ICS-i9100-2.1.25_v2.1 ROM.
i am able to connect to external usb drive and sd card.
Thanks In advance.
using Wajkmiui 2.1.13 (no ics) I have no problem on mac connection with no drivers installed..
just activate "usb storage" when plugging the phone and its working fine
maybe its a bug of your version, I think there's many left with the firsts ics of this week ..witch is perfectly understanding by the way

[Q] How to get OTG working

I just got my tab 2 days ago and i got my otg cable from ebay for £2.99...Plugged it in my tab with a usb drive connected..nothing happened, tried my mouse..the mouses optical sensor flashed for a few seconds then went dead...I downloaded all the usb mount apps and nothing works!
Any steps to troubleshoot? IS it this crappy cable?
Im running AOKP b38 with Pershoots latest kernal
there is an app i think is called OTG manager. I used to use that one with an xperia arc s to be able to use mouse/kb and usb drives.

[Q] How to transfer SGS3 pictures to PS3 via USB (MTP/PTP) ?

I want to upload my photos to my PS3 but it doesn't recognize my S3 neither in MTP (mass storage) nor in PTP (camera) mode. Had no problems of this kind with my old HD2. So what's wrong with this superphone? And is there a workaround? Thanks!
P.S. And no, I do not want to use Wifi/DLNA - it's just too slow and unreliable
Try using easyums

Also use dlna features, all share on stock Rom, any dlna server on aosp.

Ok, will try this if it doesn't require root.
But how come both modes wont work with my PS3 - even the dedicated camera mode? Shouldn't my PS3's photo software get along with it fine?
Am i the only one trying to connect S3 to PS3 via USB? seems like it...
Anyway, JB 4.1.1 didn't solve my problem. still no USB connection possible. EasyUMS needs root so I wont try this.

[Q] hmdi?

i fount in sys/class/switch, a folder with HDMI why is that there? if we have no hdmi?
(correct me if I'm wrong) you can get an adapter for micro usb to hdmi...or it might just be there from it being an android device... My old phone had face unlock 'hidden' apps but it didn't have a front facing camera.... Hope I helped...
