host usb and mass storage devices

I've read a lot of threads here showing interest in these topics, and to my mind, their incorporation into a ppc would take the devices to another level of functionality - laptop replacement for many users.
I am investigating using an xda2i with backpack, and using the Twinparadox Solar Express host usb CF card.
I know that wm2003 does not support mass storage devices, and my best bet is to use the DeJe MSD driver for wm2003
Where it gets interesting is that I recently emailed Twin Paradox, and although their website has been pretty inactive, I got a response by email with an intended release date of July 2005. This would be a different device from that shown on the web site, however. It would be a single host usb port on a CF card, usb 1.0 under wm 2003 but, under wm2005, it will be USB 2.0
so my question: Does anyone have any knowledge/ideas/hunches as to whether wm2005 will support MSDs?

Out of curiosity, what backpack expansion pack are you using? I am wondering what expansion packs are compatible with the Blue Angel. I read somewhere here that http://www.directmobileaccessories.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=930 this one is compatible with the BA even though it says xda II

Not bought it yet - trying to make sure that everything will play nicely with each other before spending loads of dosh. But I believe that there is just one model of backpack, which works for both the 2 and the 2i (Himalaya and Andes) I don't believe there is a backpack which will work with the Blue Angel (2s)
Certainly, I'm planning on using the Xda IIi Backpack - AHTXDAVN (for £89.99)

Yep, that's the idea.
From the twin paradox site, and through email, I'm pretty confident of getting the host usb up and running, when (and its a big when) they release the second generation card. (the website is woefully out of date, btw.) As far as I know, the first generation 2port card as shown on the website never saw the light of day.
Here's the information they give on the drivers supported by wm2003. I don't know if the SE goes any further?
The following USB Class drivers are now included in Windows Mobile 2003.
USB HID Class
USB HID class driver
usbhid.dll
Windows CE.NET 4.2
(Supports)
USB Printer Class
USB Printer class driver
usbprn.dll
Windows CE.NET 4.2
(Supports)
USB Storage Class
USB Mass Storage class driver
usbmsc.dll
Windows CE.NET 4.2
(Supports)
Note: USB Hub support is part of the Windows CE.NET 4.2 operating system core.
WINDOWS MOBILE 2003 USB CLASS DRIVERS
USB HID (Human Interface Devices) Class – has robust support in the Windows CE.NET 4.2 O.S. This class driver supports a range of keyboards and mice from such companies as Logitech and Microsoft.
USB Printer Class – There is some level of support for printing within Windows CE.NET 4.2. SolarExpress PDA supports Printer Class devices, where an appropriate USB printer driver exists for the Windows Mobile 2003 environment. There are some printer drivers available under Windows CE.NET 4.2.
The figure below shows how Windows CE.NET 4.2 supports a USB Printer device.

USB Mass Storage Class – Windows CE.NET 4.2 supports FAT file format devices. USB Flash Hard drives and USB Hard drives support this type of file format. This class driver will support the majority of USB mass storage peripheral devices in the marketplace today. SolarExpress PDA currently supports only this type of file format.
Some specific examples of USB peripherals supported by SolarExpress PDA are:
Canon's USB BJC-85 printer
http://www.usa.canon.com/html/index1.jsp
Iogear's USB Hub
www.iogear.com
Iomega's USB bus powered Zip 100 drive
http://www.iomega.com/na/products/product_family.jsp
Maxtor's USB external hard drive
http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/external/onetouch/index.htm
Memory Experts' USB Flash Hard drives
www.clipdrive.com
Microsoft's USB Hub\Keyboard combo and Mouse
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/default.mspx
Olympus D-510 Zoom
http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_digital_dseries.asp
The above list is not all inclusive as to the number of USB peripherals devices that SolarExpress PDA supports. It is merely to show that SolarExpress PDA supports the Windows Mobile 2003 USB class drivers.
USB DIGITAL STILL CAMERAS
USB Digital Still Cameras come in several types of protocols.
The two commonly used types are:
Mass Storage compliant – These are the Digital Still Camera protocols that are supported by SolarExpress PDA. (Olympus D- 500 Zoom series)
Still Image Class – This class uses Picture Transport Protocol (PTP) on top of Mass Storage to exchange data. PTP is similar to mass storage, but there are differences. SolarExpress does not support these types of Digital Still Cameras.
(Cannon Power Shot S400)

I'm painfully aware of the potential for incompatibility, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I bite the bullet and spend money! I hope if I can get a definitive list of the wm2003 drivers I can ask precise compatibility questions to the peripherals manufacturers (msds, keyboards et al.)
If anyone can direct me to a more definitive list of usb drivers under wm2003/ 2003se, I'd be grateful.

Does any ROM support USB host mode?

Hello anyone,
I just recieved a lovely FiiO E17 Alpen DAC & Headphone Amplifier which can act as a portable USB external soundcard for an android smartphone but only if the ROM supports USB host mode.
I have searched and found nothing. I would love to find a compatable rom for my desire HD.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
I will update this thread if I find anything.
Cheers

According to this it doesn't seem that any such rom exists. There were some attempts to make a working kernel but they seem to have failed. So there's no rom, i think.

Thanks for the reply Slavon-93.
Yes - it seems like USB Host implementation is close but no cigar.
When it does come along its going to be great - not just for music but for all the other USB devices that will be able to integrate with our smartphones

I would pay for that...
my tablet is ush host with dual boot Ubuntu and since our dhd are powerful enough to run linux it would be nice to have it!

Agreed - I would pay also!

My Fiio E17 is arriving within the next days - I would be very happy if this will work. If not, it could be a reason to change the phone - or buy a Nook..

Just wait because somebody is making a kernel for OTG feature

Thanks tessut
That's great to hear. Is this the kernel you referred to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518896

That kernel looks very promising. Apparently other issues have higher priority, so we probably need to be a bit patient about our issue

Hi.
I'm very interested to see if this works for you. Not only the amp but also the dac. I'm planning on getting the Fiio E17 too and this would be a major boost if it worked.

I will, but it might take a bit of time. First of all we need a kernel that supports the function, which seems more promising now apparently. But I will report as soon as possible.

I've read that CM7 supported it. Or is that function not implemented for the DHD in CM7?

I thought the same, but it is a kernel issue, and if you follow the link in one of the first mails in this thread you can see how things were - until now where work is going on about a new kernel. OTG is not working yet, apparently, and it does not have first priority, but still, the foresight is much better than before..

Mayx I refresh that request?
Does anyone know of any rom/kernel? Preferrably 4.1....could someone with more knowledge shed some light on the issue why this seems to be such a problem? I'm sure there is a good reason I just like to understand it a bit better
It has been done with an old kernel so the device should be capable...and Android itself supports it, so the system should be capable as well.

I've mentioned this topic to certain developers but it seems no devs are particularity interested in getting this working on the DHD.

Yep it worked but usb mass storage dont work on pc now XD i dwnloaded kernel tuner and did the same operation like on svhd..
It seems i have little bit other connection. I have OTG cable connected to usb hub with 4 inputs to first i've plugged mouse to second
Connected charger but i had to buy a usb cable which have 2 same male plugs, one goes to charger one to hub.
Ill post photo later

Interesting, hear about this a while back but never expected it to work so soon. The adapter makes sense, DHD can't deliver that power to a external device

[Q] Galaxy nexus as USB mass storage

I'm using the galaxy nexus with AOKP and Franco.kernel. Is there a way to mount it as USB mass storage instead of MTP? I heard about a special kernel which has that option.
I also heard it's possible to connect other USB Sticks to the galaxy nexus like this. What kind of cable would I need to do that?

1) You'd need to partition the device into separate media storage to use UMS. Just use MTP, it's not as bad as you think (and better in ways you wouldn't think of).
2) USB OTG (On The Go).

How's it better?
The only reason I don't like it is because I can't use TeraCopy (copies files faster on Win7 or any Windows OS actually, great improvement over the stock) and I'm forced to use the Win Folder Explorer one. Its not too much of an issue, but copies over files significantly slower.

On OSX MTP doesn't work at all so having it as a mass storage device would be a lot better. Is there some kind of guide which shows how to do that?

Off the top of my head:
Less chances of data loss and corruption for those who do not unmount before removing the cable.
More consistent read/write times.
Ext4 vs. Fat32.
There are cons as well.

Some Linux apps may have native mtp support, but Linux as a whole does not.
Different distributions may include mtp support, but as a whole, GNU/Linux does not support mtp natively.

Well looks like there's a way to mount as MTP in OSX in the OS itself so supposedly it will act like USB mass storage did.
This is great news because I always used rsync on Mac to backup my phone and restore it keeping all the dates correct, etc.
I haven't tried but it seems you have to download and compile all the dependencies so it's not very straightforward but all the info is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643757

Go to Settings--->Storage--->Menu--->USB Computer Connection. USB Mass Storage might not be clickable so plug your phone into your computer and then click it. That should work.
As for the cable that allows other USB Devices to the phone, it's called a USB Host Cable. Micro USB Connector on one side and a USB 2.0 port. I have one. It cost like $3.

Use a different cable.

In my case, my win7 computer would crash every time I tried transferring files. It turned out it was the cord. I had been using an older microusb cord and for whatever reason it didn't like it.
Used a different/newer microusb cord and voila, it worked!

Use Droid NAS
If you are using OS X, you can mount your Android devices as NAS over the network by using Droid NAS from Play Store.
In that case, you do not need to plug your device into your Mac via USB, just open Droid NAS and it will appear in Finder.
The weak point is that the transfer speed is depended on your network connection if your WiFi network is fast enough it is fine.
However, you can also connect it through network via network over USB Debug Mode
but in this case using Android File Transfer from Android's website is better.

The truth is this kind of phones should have an improved MTP feature, emulating more or less old mass storage mode.

I think I'm running into the same problem as the OP but with my new truck (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152702). My truck doesn't recognize that my phone is connected and won't allow my to play music from my phone through my stereo. Does anyone have a suggestion on what exactly I can do, special cable, MOD, kernel?

How do you think about this device? I will have a review for this model soon.
Let's talk the review, firmware, root, and other questions in this tread.

Im looking to buy one in the next week or so. I really excited about this device. I look forward to your review! Would this device also run the basic launcher as well as the android kitkat launcher? Thanks

Great video. Thanks so much. Quick question, have you installed plex? Does plex run smoothly? Thanks

root ????
hello is possible root for this model so I have a few days ago and I have not been able to do .thanks and greetings

Streaming TV apps
just few days ago got this device....
No Live Streaming TV app is running on it...tried multiple one (tv tunnel) screen become flicker and doted picture will be on screen.
no idea why it is happening ....

Greetings gentlemen. I'll be buying one of these for myself in the coming days (just waiting for my paycheck), hoping to have it relieve my Raspberry Pi from its current job.
However, my Pi is currently set with Deluge and Flexget so it autodownloads to the respective folders. Could any of you check if installing them is possible on the X-8 Plus? We have some instructions here on how to do it, and when I buy it I will make an attempt anyways, but knowing it in advance would be useful.

What the hell? EVERY other box does at least 1080p...
"**The NEO X8-H Plus only supports standard definition Netflix. Netflix 1080p HD and 4K UHD resolution are not available on any MINIX NEO Series devices."
Thats a BIG bummer

Anyway to root this device and install optware on it ?

You can root the MINIX Neo X8H-Plus using the iRoot application (or it's Chinese language parent, vRoot)
http://www.mgyun.com/m/en
Steps:
1. Turn on Developer mode by clicking on the BUILD entry in the ABOUT section in SETTINGS (click it at least 7 times)
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Install iRoot/vRoot on your PC
4. Connect the Neo X8H-Plus using the OTG cable (microUSB to USB cable included in box) to PC.
(Neo X8H-Plus needs to be connected to a display when doing this; also, a mouse would also be helpful)
5. After PC detects Neo X8H-Plus, run the iRoot/vRoot application and click on the CONNECT DEVICE button.
6. When iRoot/vRoot attempts to connect to your Neo X8H-Plus, a security warning will appear on the display. PERMIT access to the application in order for the iRoot/vRoot application to successfully connect to the Neo X8H-Plus
7. Once iRoot/vRoot is connected to your device, click the ROOT button
8. Wait until process is complete
Cheers!

Features (of chipset and/or hardware) which aren't supported (yet)

Hi there, this is my first thread. Just trying to list some of the things the G7's S845 chipset and underlying Android Oreo OS would allow for but which are not available in the current state of the LG G7. This concerns the European model, although it may share the feature aspects with its other counterparts.
I shall concentrate on the sheer existence of a feature, not on how one likes or even needs it. This aims to avoid posts like "yeah, it's not there but nobody needs it anyway" and ensuing discussions of any kind.
Feel free to correct me on my conclusions and also add your points if you like. I aim to update the list in a timely manner.
Reference docs and links
Link to the Snapdragon's 845 capabilities: https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/comparison
And in more detail (plus PR speak): https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-845-mobile-platform
Android Oreo (PR and overview): https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/
GSMArena's feature and spec overview (not to be taken as 100% accurate)
Hardware stuff
Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 technology
Is it available? Does the included charger support it? My current understanding (source: threads in this forum) leads me to think that there's a Quick Charge 3 charger and technology in use.
USB C to HDMI and/or DisplayPort
Not sure if this is a dedicated hardware limitation (missing chip, etc.) or something LG has disabled in the OS. I haven't tried this output method so far but from forum reports, it seems like it's not available.
[Edit] Seems like LG disabled it.
Software items (might overlap with hardware stuff at times)
Ultra HD 4K (3840x2160) 60fps video recording
[Edit] Came with "V10f" update in July. It therefore is available.
Slow motion HD (720p) video up to 480fps or FHD (1080p) up to 240fps
I saw the 240fps feature being available but only in 720p whereas the Snapdragon is capable of 480fps at that resolution.
Android Guest mode (account). What is this?
There's an option to add other accounts on your device but not the dedicated "guest" feature which enables some more restrictive rights than just adding another user.
WIFI calling (VoWiFi)
[Edit] available since the update -see VoLTE text for details-
Voice over LTE (VoLTE); VoWIFI
[Edit] There was an update today which seems to have added some carriers, which includes mine. I guess LG is on it to provide the functionality to more people as it becomes more relevant.
Additionally, the corresponding update is called ""VoLTE VoWIFI Enabler" and came automatically via the integrated updater. So there's reason to believe that VoWIFI also gained more support (which I cannot test personally). I shall mark both points as being available form now on.
Format SD card as internal storage
Does not work. Enforcing "allow apps on external" via developer options does not touch on this functionality but may serve to help in some cases where apps, by default, do not offer the option to use the sd card.
Scramble PIN entry keypad
A small item, but I kinda liked it in other OS versions. I actually have that option with other phones but not with the LG G7.
(auto) "OK" after PIN entry
Adding to the above item, it would be neat to not being bound to press ok after entering the correct PIN.
Use volume keys (long press) to change to next/previous track
I'm actually amazed that this feature isn't available. Seems like a trait most original OS implementations share, while every custom ROM I owned of course supported it.
Misc
(Officially) Unlocked bootloader
[Edit] Done: https://www.xda-developers.com/international-lg-g7-bootloader-unlock/

G6 didn't, and someone else here mentioned that the G7 doesn't either, support video out with a USB-C to HDMI cable.

That's a point to make indeed, but can we deduct that it should work from the specs of the chipset and/or the Oreo features and that LG has just disabled the feature?
Anyway, I shall add it to the hardware section. Thanks for the input.

Actually, G7's bootloader is unlockable in Europe, see https://www.xda-developers.com/international-lg-g7-bootloader-unlock/
And another thing, I'm on V10d branded TIM IT (which is my SIM provider) and I have VoLTE without doing anything in particular (screenshot attached).

Ah, must have missed that. Will edit my list to reflect it. Thanks for the heads-up.
And on the VoLTE feature, as mentioned in the list, it seems like it's a combination of vendor and carrier work, so it shall remain in the index for as long as some fellows still report the lack of the feature while using major carriers in their country. O2 for example is not supporting it in full, although they are selling the device.
I will update the list accordingly.

USB C to HDMI and/or DisplayPort
It is a shame.
Lg has disabled this feature via software.
I have revised the kernel sources and you can see that they have disabled it.
Furthermore when you connect a displayport adapter, the smartphone detect it properly and told you that is not allowed. If somebody konw how to compile a new kernel we may take back this great feature.

You can compare it with lg v30 or galaxy s9, both support HDMI output.View attachment 4542686

May you can move this issue to ROM, Kernel Section? I am sure that a good developer can solve this problem and take back HDMI output.

Not sure how to move things but I've added a heads-up to my signature, so that other folks are able to see our small list and perhaps add to it or even work on enabling certain features.

LG g7 Indonesia supports HDMI out, adoptable storage
G7 camera sensor (imx351) only supports up to 240fps
QC4 / USB PD is locked at 18W max

Thanks for those details. Do you happen to have some sources for them?

Android Pie update brings this feature to LG G7 . Just got the update today and tested this function. Soon after connecting, get black bars on all 4 sides. Just pinch out, you get a normal display on TV. Nice
