[Feature Request] USB OTG Mount/Unmount Widget/Shortcut - Paranoid Android Features Development

Hi, guys. With Nexus devices it's hard to keep everything on phone memory, so many of us (I think so) using USB drives/cardreaders to store things on it. PA is awesome ROM with support of mounting USB OTG drives, but it's not very comfortable to unmount - we need to go to Settings/Memory/scroll at bottom for "Safe unmount" to do this.
I would like to see PA implementation of USB OTG mount/unmount options in widget or shortcut, and/or option in notification bar (something like "USB connected" notification but not disappearing, always on top with expandable button "eject" or "unmount").
I hope you can do this, guys
Thanks for all your hard work! :good:
My prototype:

Flytouch 2?

hello all, i recently bought the below Tablet (first venture into Android!), but have not been able to work out which type it is. Boxed as a 'SuperPad III'.
It has 2 x USB ports, 2 x TF slots, x600 screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
i tried the Tim ROM, put files on TF card, reboot, but it doesnt seem to find the files. Power + Menu button also does not go to Recovery mode, so i have no idea what it is
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it says 'Infotmic' and 0.6.3.1 when it firsts boots, so i think i should be able to use this ROM?

I'm not sure if it works, being a somewhat techno blur, but it reminds me of this video:
I got an OTG cable recently and had great fun with it.
it will work
it will work on devices having USB OTG(on the go) support.
I used this on samsung galaxy s2. i connected flash drive, keyboard, mouse. all working.
(i think only android device having this feature is galaxy s2)
There's an app called USB host controller, I haven't had time to really read what it's supposed to do but I do recall reading something about being able to mount a flash drive with it. I don't have the thread bookmarked but I found it here.

Why does my storage list UsbDriveX?

This has been bugging me since my d3 days. Why do my file explorers list USBDRIVES?
I've had this microSD card since myTF101 days.
Anyone know how to get rid of it?

These are the system mountpoints for USB drives. If you connect a flashdrive to the USB connector, it will appear at /storage/UsbDriveA. I use FX File Explorer, it doesn't list them on the main screen unless something is mounted ( of course they still appear if you look under the /storeage directory ).
Good to know. I thought they were physical locations on my external sdcard or something.
Thanks.

[Q] Remove Notification Icon

This icon appears whenever my data allowance has been used up. My network who are usually useful with things like this were otherwise on this occasion.
My phone is rooted with CM and terminal editor. Although I've not well versed in terminal editor I can follow instructions, like adding read/write to the system folder so I could delete system apps.
Any help in the matter is greatly appreciated.

Not sure entirely which app controls that, but you can find out by long pressing on the notification drawer then choosing App Info - should have the option to uncheck notifications. Unless it's system app that doesn't have that option. Then you could look into using the Xposed Framework and something like this: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.defim.apk.notifyclean

Is there any way to disable mouseacceleration in Android?

Hi,
is there any way to disable the inbuild mouseacceleration in android when youre using a mouse via OTG?
The only thing that android provides via strock is changing the "pointerspeed" in the inputoptions but this is not the acceleration option Im looking for.
What mouse acceleration does is adjusting the mousespeed automaticly depending on how fast or slow yopu move the mouse. Means if you move the mouse faster it will make it even more faster if you move it very slow it will make it even slower. I want to get rid of that to get true 1x1 feeling like on windows or linux.
this is how the equivalent ooption looks in windows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On X11 systems you can change it in this file: gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mouse.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection
