is there a cf 2 to SD adapter???

just wondering because there is a cf 2 to usb host card out there and there are SD to micro SD adapters but I can't seem to find cf 2 to SD but with it I think we could get usb host on any SD equiped ppc now that would be slick. Or is this just one of them things where you could cary over the pins on the compact flash2 card to sd or does it have to have the inbetween I have found plenty sd to compact flash but nothing the other way prolly because a device that would take a sd card could never house a compact flash card inside it but sense I am looking at having it all external prolly built into a compact powered usb hub its not a issue.

well im thinking if I take one of the sd to too cf2 adapters and pry it open I may be able to just solder it all togeather and get it to work without the adapter that im lookin for if I can get this working would anyone else be interested in have a usb host dongle for there vogue and ummm I think this thread may fall into the univeresal mod sense in therory it should work for any ppc with a micro sd card slot. So if a moderater would want to move this to the right thread thats fine with me.

ok more poking around and well look at this is it actually stating that it handles the usb host onboard? I feel pretty dumb sometimes and the wording makes it look like that could use some intput. http://www.supermediastore.com/sansdigital-mobilestor-ms1u-2-5-usb-enclosure.html#description
well from the website it says you can directly copy stuff from cards to a hard drive you have installed in this without the need for a computer so my thought is yeah it has usb host my only thought now is would it hook up to the usb port on the touch and be recongized it might need a special driver.

[Q] external storage on rooted NC

Curious if there is a way to hook up either a flash drive or an external hard drive through the usb port on a rooted nook color?

Since the underlying OS is Linux I don't know why. Don't you just need to know what mount point to use?

I guess I am just curious about power, like if it will power a flash drive or an external hard drive with/without a power supply. The mount point would be great too

Do you have a flash drive or external hard drive with a microSD connector? I've not encountered these on anything but mobile media.

Internal power for an external drive might be a bit much to ask, considering that to charge the nook in the first place takes a special cord with extra power. Should be enough for say a standard USB flash drive with the right adapter though. No idea if that is the right one, but you get the idea.

I was thinking about this today. I was wondering if I could use a SD card with say pictures or video and one of those usb card readers like the one included with this SD card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...208516&cm_re=transcend-_-20-208-516-_-Product

Anyone out there have a powered USB hub, they used to be common as dirt. I suspect if you connected tablet to hub and drive to hub you could create a way to do this with some creative thinking. Assuming the ful usb driver stack is in android/book rom it should work with the right mount commands. It all depends on the drivers though, usually usb stacks use different drivers for being targets like the book is in usb mode, rather than for mounting other devices as targets.. it's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure there would be much of a benefit, it might prove to be slower than USB mode since the book CPU would be doing all the work.

Mass Storage Driver? (USB Flash Drive?)

Hey has anyone gotten a mass storage driver to work on the G-Tab? Or something similar?
Want to be able to take files off of a USB memory stick (or my external USB drive for that matter) but the table doesn't recognize them when I plug in.
Thanks

I've been using an 8GB USB thumb drive with my G-tab and it reads the files on it just fine. I think it has to be formated to fat32 before it will read it though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I do it daily with several different thumb drives. Use esfilemanager and hit the flashcard-looking icon and look for a folder called USBDISK. Your stuff is in there.
FAT is standard for most flash drives and you should leave it that way for compatibility, but you can format in FAT32 also. NTFS or exFAT won't work for flash drives on G-tablet. Also don't try to power an external hard drive from that USB port, not nearly enough juice.
(Use FAT32 rather than FAT if you need to put video files or something larger than 2GB on the drive, limit is just under 4GB for FAT32)
I know there are people using NTFS on some ROMs but most users won't have the chops to accomplish this.

How to power 1 terabyte external usb drive

I recently got a 1 terabyte usb 3 external hard drive. I want to use it directly on my note2 via otg to backup my files and free up space on my device and microsd while I am away from my pc. I noticed my battery gets discharged really fast from powering up the drive. I was wondering how I could provide an external power to the drive or the note 2 itself while the drive is connected to the note2 via otg. Thanks guys.

Zerolemom battery. Other than a bigger battery I dont know of a different way.

I've had a couple if external hard drives that have two usb connectors. I read somewhere that once the drive starts and spins up, you really only need one connection.
If thats the case, and you do have a two usb connection cable for that drive, you could maybe connect one to another power source (computer usb, wall adapter, etc).
Don't know if any of that will actually work, but the theory sounds good in my head.

I have an external hard drive also but my Note 2 doesn't recognize it as a memory drive. It's powered by an ac adaptor so I dont see why it won't establish a connection.

You can get a USB hub, and do some modification on it.
When I was using my nexus s, I do this:

Just Solider + & - input in your usb hub (input), power your external hard drive with your power bank... So it won't suck your battery

I have mounted a 128Gig USB drive. No Problems! I will try to mount my 2Tb drive to my note via a Volcano external drive unit.

Same issue for me. It says blank memory device. I have a thermaltake 2 bay drive that is powered. I guess that it has to supply its own buss voltage. So much for the 2TB drive mounting.

Or you can get a powered USB Hub. So that the hub powers the HD and not your phone.

Also pnce you get it powered up you might need to format it. I am unsure if this phone can read ntsf. Everything of mine is formatted to fat32 and exfat. So if you get it powered and it shows no memory or something it might be the format.

I do it all the time at work. A small usb hub that plugs into the wall for power will keep your phone from draining so fast.

I solved this issue by using Paragon exfat ntfs hfs from playstore.

The solution that comes to my mind is to just connect both devices to a computer, laptop, or netbook, open 2 windows and drag n drop.
But that powered hub does look like something fun to play with.

Can it be done ?

Hello .... I'm curious if this tablet can be open up and have the memory removed, only to upgrade it to a higher level, is it possible ? Oh yeah and I know need it to be with one usb end and not a very long cable . Thanks

In my opinion everything is possible with the right "CODE" and that is attached to a human memory with very smart neurons!

From what I saw there I'm assuming that the memory hard drive or card GB is internal to the board ? I want to replace the 32GB with a 64 GB card or whatever these HP tablets have . I don't want to get into un-soldering and soldering though .... Thanks

Everything is integrated. If you want to expand storage you can use an OTG Micro USB HUB an attached a USB 64GB flash drive, it will be bulky but works!

That would work ? that would be great if it can . I would like to place movies onto the usb flash drive and play off it, So you saying it can work ? Thanks

Of course it works, you can play movies directly from the USB flash drive. You will need to supply power to the USB drive, connected by wire or using a Power Bank.

Is a Micro USB Port, is the same as your charger. The one that you connect to your Tablet. Search and do some reading on how it works, is very simple but you have to understand how all comes together, there is information on this site also.
Once you have Android install on your tablet, it works the same as others Android or Tablet Devices.

I finally got a OTG Micro USB straight cable, usb on one end and micro on the other, try it out and nothing happens, is there a setting with the tablet that needs to be turn on or off ? thanks

What version of Android are you using? or the type or ROM?

Its ......Kitkat .... Android 5.1.1 version and cm-11-20161219-NIGHTLY-MLQ-tenderloin .... This is very stable ... Thanks

The ROM that you are using is from the Developer Milaq.
I installed the latest Nightly dated December 26 of 2016, of the ROM you are using.
https://milaq.net/downloads/tenderloin/cm-11.0/
After a fresh installed I connected the OTG Micro USB HUB, then connected the HP Touchpad cord charger to the OTG and finally the USB flash drive ( SanDisk Cruzer Glide 16GB). You will noticed that the USB flash indication light starts flashing and a notification on the Left top side on Android tells you ( USB Storage in USE ). Then you go to the File Manager and you will see USB Storage, when you touch it you will see all the files on the USB flash drive and you can play your movies directly from there at the same speed as if were on the internal storage. When you are done, go to setting and storage and eject the USB Flash drive. Is very simple!

I don't see nothing since nothing happens once I connect it, though if I use the cable to connect to my computer I am able to see the tablet internal drive, but not to a flash drive from tablet to flash . This is why I was asking what's exact cable type for this tablet port . I'm thinking it isn't the correct one . There so many different sizes out there. Thanks for your suggestion, much appreciated

I sent you the link to Amazon of the OTG.
Did you take the time to learn what OTG is?

Yes, I did view it but the type that goes into the tablet isn't listed . I bought one already that I assume is the correct size but with these micro usb connectors there is many different types, do you understand what I'm trying to say . Pic below is what I'm using

And for the second time this is the OTG cable that I have, which I posted the link : https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Powered-Charging-Charger-Connector/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1486568545&sr=8-31&keywords=micro+usb+otg If you look at the specification of how it works it tells you is a "Micro Usb HUB Adaptor with Power Powered"
The HP touchpad or old devices do not offer power to the micro usb port, you need a Y adapter one to supply power to the USB flash drive and the other one for data.
That is why I said, do some research to understand the connection, which it clearly shows on the Amazon product.

Oh ok now I got you it also needs power to make it work, the tablet alone isn't good enough . See, I was hoping just a simple connector going into the tablet Micro and have on the other end usb female connector were by I could plug in a flash stick without power needed . Thanks for all your help

That will work with devices that allow power out from the charging port. The work around for old devices is the Y connector, with the connector I posted you can use a USB Keyboard, a USB mouse and a USB flash drive all at once, turning a tablet into a regular desktop PC. Like I posted your ROM will work and you can play movies directly from the USB drive with no loss in performance, with only your basic ROM nothing else is need it.
You are very welcome and have fun!
