[Q] USB Infrared support in Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There may be device or rom specific answers to this question, but I wanted to know if there was support for USB infrared receivers built into stock Android, possibly at Kernel level?
The context is that I have a USB IR receiver that I've used in Windows for XBMC that I've tried connecting to two of my Android devices (Galaxy Nexus and Nexus Q) via a USB OTG cable and pointing my remote at it doesn't seem to automatically work like a Bluetooth remote does, but it could be that it's receiving the IR commands and I need an android app to convert the IR signals into something Android understands.
Anyone have any information about this?

[Q] Android & Ethernet / USB 3.0 / eSATA. Is it possible?

What I ask myself is weakly present.
Interested in whether it is possible to have a android device (for example for SoC Nvidia Tegra 3 (a forthcoming) or the Samsung Exynos 4210) which will operate the hardware decoding, gigabit ethernet, USB 3.0 (or at least 2.0), eSATA and output image and sound HDMI, and if you play in a certain application on the device will contain the content source encoded in DTS, DTS-HD, DD, DD TrueHD sound, in the same encrypted transfer it to a device on the other side of HDMI cable (passthrough)?
Device about which I'm not there, it is conditional, in fact the question is whether it is possible to create such a device. While on the Internet seen such devices. Among them, of course, none of them had all of the above, but there was some support for Ethernet, USB, HDMI, but how it works there I do not know.
There are currently about USB and Ethernet I imagine this case was this: on-board controllers are soldered above-mentioned interfaces, after which the linux drivers for these controllers is compiling android .. right?
P.S. sorry for my and google translate english =)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Q] Why is ther no universal Bluetooth patch??

Could someone tell me why its impossible to find a universal Bluetooth patch for EXTERNAL usb Bluetooth dongles? One that will add the full Bluetooth feature to the devices "born" without build-in Bluetooth.
We are so many that bought these Android tablets thinking that we could just plug in a Bluetooth usb dongle - for why would that feature be missing in Android, bluetooth has been around for so many years even before anyone thought of android.
So why is this left out of the kernel, it should be as basic as Wi-Fi?
Come on XDA developers - make a universal driver, then get people to test it and add their devices to the list of working.
Doesn't bluetooth work in linux? And isn't Android based on linux?
So why is it so hard to make the driver/patch?
Or is it simply that most developers think that bluetooth is obsolete - So never mind?
With kind regards

Plugging a USB bluetooth dongle to an Android that has already Bluetooth

Hi.
I have an Android TV Box with an old Bluetooth version that does not allow me to pair two gamepads at the same time. The question is if I could update the Bluetooth of the TV Box with a USB Bluetooth dongle version 4.0 and thus make it compatible with the gamepads without having to change the entire TV Box.
Does anyone has experience with USB Bluetooth dongle and an Android device that already has Bluetooth capabilities? It will be recognized and work?
Thank you in advance.
Nobody?
