Hello all.
Last week I had some tries to integrate USB OTG features to @alquez ROM. The idea was to port USB OTG functionality from ZTE BLADE kernel (both of them are msm7227 based), but I had no luck. The difference between 2.6.32 and 2.6.36 kernels made me sick. Does anybody knew of similar projects?
Sorry my posting here, can't post to developer forum.
usb otg for the wfs (marvelc) was the reason I joined XDA
vladshikhov,
The reason I converted from a longtime lurker to an actual member was so I could get USB OTG working on my HTC Wildfire S (Marvel C). When It comes to android kernels I may be a noob, but I'm learning slowly. I just want to say please don't give up your (re)search. If you need another wfs to experiment on, let me know. I also offer my help; let me know what you don't yet know and I'll try to find it.
V/R,
Kalumnus
p.s.:
This is my first post so please excuse its formal style.
Wow... Thats cool... I actually neva knew sucha feature existed!!!!!
Hope someone helps u out and u get it working asap!
try contacting eoghan2t7 who might help u out, If u already tried contacting alquez!!
Don't worry you posted in the right place

I had a thought today while at work and wanted to try my hand at porting over the LiquidMetal rom from the Acer over to our phones. Now, I know this isn't something thats easy to do (especially if you've never done any dev work or port a rom over before, like me.), and I know that if I just wanted to get the rom to boot, I can just swap the kernel's out and the rom should at least boot.
I want to (hopefully) use jermaine151's rom over at the Droid Incred. forum as the rom to port over, but, I still havent asked him as this is still just an idea and I wanted some insight as to what Im doing to need to make this happen.
I know Im going to have to port over a lot of lib files and drivers for wifi and such, so, my question is what would I need so I can at least get this rom up and running?
Also, Im downloading the Source Code for LiquidMetal as I type this, but, I dont know which would be easier to work on, compiling from source or working on a direct port.
Any opinions on this? Any tips would be great.
EDIT: Nevermind. Someone is already working on a port over in the dev section and its bootable already.
Don't have anything to say but if you port liquid metal from acer to our G2 i will love you forever, even if it sounds gay.
Fly like a G2
Thanks. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling soon.

Is there any chance to make USB Host for wildfire?
I guess not, as USB-Hosts have a different hardware than simple ports.
I heard somewhere that msm 7227 chip supports that feature. But wildfire has msm 7225 and haven't heard that it supports.
And hardware support along with required kernel is needed I think.

AIR a guy made a circuit and gave the USB-Host to unsupported devices. I may remember wrong.
USB Host again
Hi all,
searching through the forum I found this thread and I very much like to raise the debate again. I am not fully convinced that USB-Host may not work at all on Wildfire.
On the hardware-side: can you completely say that the hardware might not support it at all? Many forum threads (not only on XDA) showed ambiguous signals concerning the chipsets.
On the software-side: The official point is the following:
[I wanted to post a link but was not allowed because I do not have 8posts yet. Type in google: "android developer usb host" and it will lead you to the official page]
So from Android 3.1 and higher USB-Host is supported.
As the development for the ICS (Android 4) mods (CG9 etc.) for wildfire is advancing, I am playing with the idea of trying the beta versions to see whether USB host works.
It would be really helpful to hear the ideas of advanced people on this issue. Can you exclude the hardware-capability? Are the e.g. CM9 mods not made for things like USB-Host?
Currently I unrooted my Wildfire and am trying to get things started for flashing it. So yes, quite a noob.
Thanks a lot and kind regards,
Nebi
Ok, I tried the newest version of CM9 'AOSP Based "Original Development" / Source Built ROMs' by arco68.
Unfortunately my wildfire is not reacting when I put in a usb-stick connected to an adapter USB-A (female) to USB-B (male) adapter.
Am I doing sth wrong? Do I need an USB-hub to power 5volt?
Thanks and kind regards,
Nebi
Ok sorry for writing again. My last post today - promise.
On the hardware-side I found out following:
As I still cannot post any links here:
qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon
You can also click on that site on the link below with more detailed specs.
USB OTG is only supported from Snapdragon Generation 3 on. Wildfire (MSM7225) is Generation 1.
I was also egg-headed and still tried another software, too:
I tried the AOSP Based Derivative MIUI V4 Beta1 bystelios97.
He doesnt reckognize anything.
A last thing: I think that in any case the adapter that I am using is wrong. Instead of using a USB-A to USB-Micro adapter you better need a USB-OTG cable to connect both devices.
Game over I guess?
We only have 1 person even attempting at making ROMs for our powerful device, besides an Alpha version of CM7 from Kornyone with like one update in its entirety.... We have a few variations of the stock t-mobile ROM and a virtuous unity beta port that also appears to be abandoned, THAT'S IT!
NOT A KERNEL WITHIN THE LAST 2 months....
And the only guy who developed and helped out in the forums got banned from XDA...
We are in dire need of some developers, i was really just asking anyone who currently develops for this Sensation if they could help shine some light on our situation.. We need a stable OC/UV kernel, and maybe some AOSP (tho that's not looking possible until we get stable CM9..) And a nice sense rom....
If anyone has the know how for a kernel, PLEASE help us out... This phone is quite powerful, just hasn't had its time to shine!
Thanks,
Matt

Because The Sensation was released pretty close to the MT4GS, stealing much of its thunder, and mostly because it runs sense, like the MT4GS... Maybe i guess im just hoping somehow someone will help us out, and this is the closest phone to it.. besides the Mt4G which the developers have so much going on at the moment there is no time for them to help us out.
just got a chance to try out a USB OTG cable. my current setup well not allow me to explore files on my flash drive. I know the flash drive and cable is good because I plugged the same setup into a friend's SGS3 and it worked right away.
the question is, is this more likely a problem with my kernel or my ROM?

Maybe both. Vague problem, vague answer.

ok, fair enough. the ROM is an alpha that is not released to Toroplus yet. the kernel is tuna faux123. the problem is when I plug in my thumbdrive I am unable to explore files. I even installed Stickmount from the market. it tries to mount the drive, to no avail.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
so, besides the troll who popped in to flame me, does anyone have an idea about this? i am not looking for specifics, just a general idea about if USB OTG is controlled more by the ROM or more by kernel choice.
USB OTG is controlled by you. Just plug the cable. You're doing it wrong.
Now, that's me just trolling too.
Either way, maybe you can help me on one thing here. I have a 2005 Accord diesel. Can I use an oil filter from the 2007 facelift version?

you're right, you're trolling. move along.

So simple. You ask the questions, then give the answers.
It's because of your alpha rom? Maybe. Try another.
It's because of the kernel? Try another.
See? Simple. No one can go to your place and do that for you. Test, test, test.
C'mon guys...he just wants to know if anyone has used it successfully...if you can't answer why post?
Too specific problem. User should try other setups and give feedback. Be proactive, people.

just because you didn't know the answer, doesn't make it a flawed question. it wasn't too specific, it didn't require testing. someone out there smarter than both of us probably knew the answer. is the USB OTG function controlled by ROM or the kernel? instead of an answer i got my thread clogged with your smartass comments and non-answers. i'm sure if there's an opening in the question police squad on XDA you'll be the first to apply, but until then your self appointed opinion on the validity of questions in the Q&A thread isnt appreciated or needed. not by me anyway.
Make pancakes not war!

Hey noob, i'm not trolling. You asked which was more likely. I said maybe both, because it is!
Kernel because of fs support, rom because of vold and enforced permissions. Now go search and learn.

Thank you for that answer and your time. :good:
Hello everybody !!!
I've just buy the Nokia XL, and i'm happy on it for the price!
I've checked in the threads, but on these lot of page, i hadn't seen anything on it... Or i hadn't look right...
In my opinion, that will be good to have otg support...
So, that's my question.
Is it possible to implement USB OTG support in a kernel/ROM?
Or just tell me how to do, and i will try to do it...
I had just port few MTK's roms, and compile 1 or 2 MTK's kernels (not really ok, that's not the same thing than porting) but i can do it with the good informations...
Many Thanks​
PS: Sorry if i'm in the wrong section. There's a lot of time i hadn't post on XDA Forum (Since my LG-P920)

I guess the MSM8625 chipset in nokia x doesn't support OTG . Some claiming the same chipset on htc desire x had OTG support on custom rom but i can't find concrete evidence about it till now. Some one enlighten me if i'm wrong. :cyclops: I had custom rom on my nokia x and used usb otg helper , diagnostic and end up in failure to use OTG. The device didn't get detected. May be i was wrong .I don't knw. Kernel devs mdzhfi or anmol thakur may have idea about it...

First, thanks for our reply !
I use OTG Helper too, and the 1st time it said that don't works, but after a new try, it installed an xml, and tell me that an another one is not here...
You know it check 2 xml files... The 1st is not here, but it has installed the 2nd... So, that's why i'm asking this question...
I'm on Cm11 with my XL, and i don't know if its possible too...
PS: If you search on google "MSM8625+usb otg" you will see that Sanei's phone have otg cables so i think that's can be possible... And some cable are in selling for and any internet's site, like this one....

May be ...it will work..I don't know about the xml files used as config in OTG..i'm noob on that... ..I don't know how to proceed on that..
