Since I moved from Windows Mobile I've been looking for a USB Webcam app.
I've recently found it and wanted to share the info.
Check for "USB Webcam" on the Market and Placaware for the desktop drivers.
USB debugging must be on for the driver to work.
It's working for videos in Skype (but not for audio).
Too bad the developer is shutting down this project. Maybe some developer will find it interesting and take over the development.
Try Droidcam, it works great
Problem with Droidcam is that it uses wifi. I prefer to have a usb connection so that it charges while been used as a webcam.

I cant find the app in the market... Could someone upload the apk file?

Thats not a problem, but a feature! You can connect with usb anyway so it charges at the same time.

I really dont think that wifi webcam (droidcam) can be better than usb webcam (placaware). I didn't tried any of them (download link for placaware apk file please?), but for obvious reasons the preformance should be better through usb.

I've got my copy from the Market. Does the apk gets stored somewhere so that I can copy it for you?
In the meantime, have you tried to post a message to the developer. I think he even mentions to so if you can't get the sw on the Market.
here's an idea...
plug it in while using wifi..... W O W .
1.Has anyone connected a flash storage for a long time (like watching a movie file from it)? Because we are supposed to use only mouse/keyboard without root
2.With Titanium can I store e.g. in a game only the apk and the game saves and not the SD data?
3.Those with ICS, did you see any difference with the updated adreno drivers in games? How about the menu hardware acceleration?

I can answer only the first question.. NEVER TRY TO DO THAT.. you might end up burning your phone's motherboard.. USB OTG reqquires hell lot of power which can not be supplied by the phone for long time..

Q2 yes you can.
I use titanium backup a lot and it has option to include the sd data it you have space, I don't bother as it is all stored on card not phone.

Doesn't the pendrive require the same voltage as a mouse/keyboard which work withour root? (5V)
Hi,
Since LG's new phones have this ability to turn the usb into a tv out port, doesnt Galaxy W have any apps to do that too? I would suspect that its not really the hardware which matters (since i dont insist on it to be HD) so an app or smth like that should have the ability to do that.
I mean everytime i want to gather the family to watch a film i took or a picture, i have to move that file from my W to a hard disk in the laptop, then stick the laptop to the tv!!! Isnt there any direct way to just stick the phone directly to the television?!
Thanks in advance.
Woops im sorry this should have been posted in the q&a forum. im sorry

Can you enable USB mass storage mode on your phone and plug into a usb port on the TV?
HW x SW
1. I am almost sure there is no hardware in out SGW to transmit video sognal thru USB. We already discussed this in different place here.
2. If TV has mass storage support, this might be a solution for you as hundred_miles_high mentions.
Streaming audio+screen (mirroring) wirrless would also be a cool idea. Dont think this is possible though

There is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result but then you need to have your TV with VNC client installed.
Hey folks;
Anyone using a USB mass storage app (that would let me use the Note 2 as mass storage on Windows XP)? Play store seems to have a lot, but would feel better if there was a confirmed app working on the Note 2.
Thanks!

This looks like a great idea, but I'm wondering how they hold up. (I always worry about losing the caps to my keychain thumbdrives. :silly:
It Works, But
I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.
The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.
As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.

Cedarsprings thanks for letting us know.. Kinda interested now!
Do u have root on ur Moto X? If so, can you pls give chainfire's stickmount from the play store a shot?
I think it may solve your problem by auto mounting the OTG device on boot.
If it works, I'm definitely getting one for my X too!

Nice! As soon as I read Cedarsprings review I was kinda bummed cause I just ordered one of these today. But if stickmount works, this little drive will be my new favorite toy
When I had my nexus 7 and used some random OTG, it worked like a charm on it .. So here's hoping! The meenova looks so much more schmick than the clunky OTG I used to have!!

Not Rooted Yet
While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.
I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.
And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

Totally understandable .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.
hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!
The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov
I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:
"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."
So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Is it stock rom? what format of SD card do you use? FAT32, exFAT etc. And does it automatically mounted?

Stock ROM, FAT32, and sort of. It doesn't need to mount like a typical SD card. Plug it in and it will automatically show up in /storage. Unplug it when done, no need or way to unmount.

Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.
To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.
Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.
