DSLR Controller and the new Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Has anyone had any luck getting this app to connect to their camera?

I downloaded it but haven't had a chance to try it with my camera yet, will report back when I do.

I don't have DSLR controller but I have the free app Chainfire has to test compatibility and it does not appear to work. I am stock and un-rooted.

Someone in the other OTG thread mentioned that with root and Stickmount, he was able to get a USB drive to work. Seems like something similar would be required to get it working right now.

Rooting now to find out...
Update: Rooted with Stickmount and DSLR Controller works

I can confirm that DSLR Controller works just fine on the new Nexus 7. Played around with it for about a hour and had no issues what so ever. Live view looks awesome!
I forgot to add I'm running my Nexus 7 Stock Unrooted at this time.

It works with the wireless module WU-1a too. I have not found any major problems either. :good:

not working on my 7D
hello everyone ! I just bought the new nexus 7 2013 in France . I'm unrooted DSLR Controller doesn't work with my OTG cable and my 7D!
I tried with my SGS3 and it's well working so the problem doesn't come from the cable.
Could you please help me?
which version of build do you use?

I wasn't able to get it to work unrooted. It does work with the latest build as long as your device has root access.

OK so I have rooted my new nexus 7. So now I can read a USB key but it still not working with my 7D and 500D! What do you use for rooting? i used Nexus Root Toolkit with Chainfire root.
Thanks for your help!

Still under investigation what is going on here. Just received my own Nexus 7 2013 an hour ago, doesn't work for me either. The kernel recognizes the camera, but Android does not. And as long as Android does not detect the camera, DSLR Controller cannot use it. Can't do much more right now, the tablet needs to be charged first.
(Note that the reason root+StickMount does work, as well probably keyboards and mice, is because that is handled at kernel level, and not at app level)
The strange thing is, that it works for some people, and not for others.
Can you guys let me know which exact model you have, and if it does or doesn't work for you ? I have 32gb Wi-Fi model, updated to Android build JSS15Q, and it doesn't work for me.

I've done a lot of fooling around, and the weirdest thing happened - I got it to work (I bet nobody expected that). However, now that I have gotten it to work, I can't get it to to *not* work anymore, so I cannot test myself what the true solution was. There's a bug with the Nexus 7 firmware, *not* with DSLR Controller.
---------------
As such, I need the help of those DSLR Controller users with a 2013 Nexus 7 for whom it does not work. Extra points if you're using cables that you can successfully use on a different Android device together with DSLR Controller.
We're not going to break your device, though you may void warranty. If your device is not oem unlocked (if you don't know what this is, your device isn't oem unlocked), the testing procedure will wipe all your data, so make sure you have backups. Even if you are oem unlocked, backing up your data is not a bad idea, just in case.
If you're available on Google Talk or Hangouts, all the better !
I need guinea pigs, lets figure this out !

Guinea pig citizen reporting for geeking , available device tegra T30s like the tf300 from pegatron , rooted busyboxed but not yet unlocked bootloader, and have quite a few USB stuff to try.contact me if you like. I'll keep an eye here too. Until now, works at 50% of the devices I tested. Oh , and I'm using a 4.0.3 iml74k stock rom, I just did few fs/kernel/VM tweaks.

Chainfire,
I am willing to help you out.
I have a Canon T3, which I've been using with your app on my original Nexus 7. I have not yet tried it on my new one. If you can use my help, PM me and I'll give you my email address.

Please first try DSLR Controller on your new Nexus 7 and let me know if you can get it to work. For a bunch of people it "just works" already, have to make sure this isn't the case for you.

I just tried it and it does not work. DSLR Controller says "Could not find a compatible camera on WiFi or USB..."
The 2012 Nexus 7 still recognizes it, so I know it's not the camera.

Hello Chainfire!
I have the new Nexus 7 i tried to use DSLR Controller with it on my EOS 7D and EOS 500D. Not working with or without root.
Please note my USB-OTG cable is OK because it's working on my Galaxy S3.
I have unrooted, relocked bootloader and wipe the tablet after flashing the stock rom! Still not working.
Got the same Nexus 7 of you 32GB Wifi with JSS15Q
I hope you will find a solution.
Excuse me for my bad english ^^

Hello Chainfire,
I have the new Nexus 7 (2013) 16GB model with CyanogenMOD 10.2 - JSS15Q and it doesn't work with with my EOS 7D and USB-OTG cable?
I have the same problem on my Nexus 4 with CyanogenMOD 10.2 - JSS15Q
Ik works flawless on my ASUS Transformer Prime (TF201) STOCK unrooted and locked.
Groetjes Dennis!

[Q]2nd-Gen Nexus 7 Question..

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,
Question: I'm strongly leaning towards picking up this 2nd-Gen Nexus 7 next week.. ( I have never owned the 1st-Gen ) and I know the 2nd-Gen is shipping with Android 4.3.. Since this is still Asus with upgraded internals, Will these 4.2.2 ROMS run on the 2nd-Gen? I know it's only a matter of time before 4.3 is ripped apart and reborn as Custom ROMS but I was curious if anyone thinks 4.2.2 would boot..
Thanks for any answers anyone can provide.. :good:
If these said ROMs were ported then maybe. Although I doubt it because 4.3 is better in pretty much every way so what's the point. 4.2.2 software made for the Tegra Nexus 7 won't boot on the newer architecture in the 2nd gen model (Snapdragon S4 CPU).

I think not. Wait for custom roms for the 7² to appear, which they will pretty soon I guess.
But you should definitely go for the new N7, it looks so much sweeter than the 1st gen...
direct ROM flashes Wont work, but if someone ported it over, I dont see why not. but that would probably take just as much time as it would to merge the features to 4.3 so no one will do it.

Getting Ubuntu Touch out to more users

The unstoppable Sergio Schvezov is working on bug 1201811 right now. Once it's fixed this should put is into a position where users of devices for which we have Ubuntu Touch images (and not just the four devices we supported right from the start) can just use phablet-flash. This doesn't mean that they are "officially supported" or that they're built daily in the Canonical data centre, but that you can make use of the images much more easily.
Over time we still want to build more images in the data centre in a regular fashion. One of the big blockers there has been information about the redistributability of firwmare, blobs and closed kernel modules. If you have information about the licenses any of these, it'd be great if you could help with updating the Touch device pages.
On Thursday, 1st August we are going to hold a Ubuntu Touch Porting Clinic in #ubuntu-touch on irc.freenode.net where you will be able to ask all the questions you have and our local experts can help you with updating your image(s) to the new world order. We hope to see you there!

Without adding support for CDMA I suspect this idea with sizzle out rather then take off. Just my two cents. I'm a Verizon user and was super excited to see this... But since CDMA support was announced not to be on the roadmap I've almost forgotten about the project, not a good thing. Good luck

I try ubuntu touch for 2 days in my galaxy nexus (maguro) and i think it work quite well but it isn't for daily use yet.
There aren't bugs in that MobileOS (or I haven't found these bugs) but the biggest problem is the laggy (too much laggy because the kernel isn't optimized for UubuntuTouch). I appreciate the canonical's work and I wish I'll able to use this OS daily

On my Galaxy Nexus it's more fluid than any Android version. What build have you tested? Since July Ubuntu Touch shouldn't lag anymore.

It has some bugs and it depends on the current build (look at the bug section on launchpad to see what's not working). For me it is nearly perfect.

Dell Venue 7

Hello to everyone.
Not to sound overly rash, but is there anyone out there who might be able to provide instructions for rooting the new tablet Dell just sent out, the Venue 7? I'm planning on buying it for myself by Christmas, but I can't seem to find a single link about rooting the damn thing.
It'll be running 4.2 Jelly Bean
anyone have any ideas, maybe, pretty please?

Not much, I've personally tried contacting people from the ASUS MemoPad FHD 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 forums about a possible root solution since their tablets use the same chip as the Dell Venue 7. However, I haven't heard anything back.
I was able to find that the tablets come with an unlocked bootloader though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48052077
Hopefully someone finds a way to root this sucker.

[Q] Any custom KitKat rom with HDMI working

Hello, I will like to know if there is any android 4.4.x rom for the xperia S/SL that has the HDMI output working as well both cameras, until now I had tried Paranoid android beta 4 and Carbon the first one works flawless but has no HDMI and the second one is given me a blurry and bad signal trough the HDMI output.
Before keep installing a reinstalling roms I will like to hear any advice about any stable 4.4.X rom out there or at least any rom with HD camera recording, 3d graphic and HDMI output working.
Thank you.
We are on the same page bro. Been looking for that too.
And maybe any rom that has the radio drivers installed. cant believe now that i don hav that i actually want to use it
HDMI and FM radio, as well as many other features depend on the chipset OEM (Qualcomm) drivers. They offer support up to some Android version (last stock JB?), but AFAIK KitKat is not and will never be supported. They could also open the source code/spec for the drivers, which will enable the community to fix those issues, but I seriously doubt they will even consider it.

Sad but hey the google nexus 5 also has a snapdragon inside, that means there will be no future support for the nexus 5? I doubt that, there must be a way to get us those drivers.
Can I ask why the drivers are so important?? Why they cant be ported or rewritten by some dev? Like the drivers on linux, all are free and open, wtirren by devs and users. Is it impossible to write a driver for a snapdragon?
Sorry for my questions, im a noob

It is not impossible.
What devs COULD do is reverse engineer the drivers from 4.1.2 to 4.4 or whatever, but that would be REALLY hard, and take a LOT of time and tries. It simply does not worth the process.
But I think HDMI and FM Radio should come from Sony, not Qualcomm, not sure.

well, so there wasour hope ;d. I bet sony already forgot that they ever made Xperia S... Thay are making so many phones now... thats just crazy, if some1 buy flagship sony just after 2-3 months he had 2nd best of their models. thats insane. They havent even made kitkat for most of their current "flagships" yet. Xperia s [*].
BTW. Love u xda Devs, you are a little star that gives us hope to use nice phone even more efficient and cool than before .
PS. God i hate that 10post req for responding in dev-s threads... i have so many questions about my pureslim kitkat ;/.
I am tempted into sell my phone to buy a new one, but is so sad because I think Xperias in general have a pretty good hardware, my next phone will be a nexus or who knows... Maybe I will end up selling my soul to Apple at least they have longer support for any older phone...
The thing is I love to hack my phones that's why I got an Android in first place.
