Hi guys,
I know nexus carputers have been used often and they are a great way to use a tablet, the only thing I haven't seen is an example of someone using multiple accessories. I am looking to use about 3 or 4 accessories...
- dvb-t stick for usb TV and dab aerial
- usb capture card for reverse parking camera
- usb extension for usb drive connectivity
- something else I have forgotten right now lol
Had anyone actually tried to achieve more with their nexus for this type of connectivity, whether got the cat or not?
Not new to android but I am to this level of use and hacking.
To confirm I M using timur usb rom kernel, a y splitter otg, 4 port usb extension with individual Pott switches.
Admin, I appreciate this is similar to my other thread but this is more a poll of seeing what others do, but if you believe it is classed as a double thread I apologise.

Ive been a close follower to the Serendipity ROM and is super stoked bout version 7 that was just released! But because I have not posted anything in this forum because I usually find my answer just by searching, I cannot post in the thread dedicated to Serendipity 7 until I have some posts. I was wondering if MikeyMike01 and the Serendipity crew had any plans on adapting and creating the software and hardware of the Samsung Captivate to support HDMI output through the microusb? Thanks for anyones help!
I could and may be wrong, but i think HDMI OUT is a hardware thing and that we are not able to fix that by flashing software. We have TV out, but i know it lacks full HD support for transferring to a larger screen.
There is or was a micro-usb to HDMI cable supposedly available.

I have no doubt there is a micro USB HDMI cable that is available and will probably fit the captivate.. but will it work? as the captivate does not have HDMI functionality.

this has been discussed to death in the accessories section. cables are available, phone's hardware cant support video signal out thru usb port
hmmm.... thank you all for your replies. I saw a discussion about a year ago but i dont remember if anyone said they ever tried creating a ROM or other means that would make it capable. If anyone regularly talks to MikeyMike01 about Serendipity or the other developers (Sorry for those of you I am leaving un-named. Some reason this name is the only one I can remember.) could someone direct him this way? thanks!
Hey everyone my curiosity was struck again... After going through some forums about new ROM's for the captivate, and after trying several and stopping on the awesome Doc's Master ICS for the cappy, I have noticed some people have stated they use the micro usb cable to hdmi on the samsung captivate... I have ordered a micro usb to hdmi cable because I have the spare time and will try some of these ROMs some people have stated the cable works on. I will post back my findings probably around the beginning of next week and keeping my fingers crossed that something good will come from this...
Order Arrived!
My usb to hdmi arrived and its samsungs version. I will start trying some different ROMs for the cappy and post if i find any that work. I have a feeling this is going to be an unsuccessful quest but hey, it doesn't hurt to try it out.
Is there any accessories, which should I order to connect my Nexus 7 to video projector (HDMI, VGA)?
I thought there was a USB to HDMI cable somewhere... i found it in a other post.
dont have a link..
I was under the assumption the N7 has no video out support?

You mean anything like this http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-IMPROVED-Protocol-Sensation/dp/B005F9W6DU?
So it seems it will not work http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3127278/nexus-7-mhl-usb-otg
Did't know that.. like other things about the N7
so i dont have to order this.
I was hoping it would have usb host aka usb on the go so that I could hook up my Canon DSLR and use this as a remote shutter/video screen for shooting advanced movies etc. It was more of a side wish, but not a killing point, however I really do hope future firmwares would include this.
I'm guessing google don't want any video out accessory because they plan on selling the Nexus Q
no MHL and no HDMI.
basically there is no video-out on the device. sucks but true.
No MHL
Not having MHL support and no support to external HDD/pen drive was a big disappointment indeed.
For the lack of MHL, there might be soon a great alternative: Android Transporter software + Raspberry Pi
For external HDD/pen drive support, I'm sure someone will figure out a solution soon

Uhh, it's been figured out for a long time. Root and use Stickmount

Hi all, Just a quick question to all of you using tablets these days. First I just got nexus 7 for my b'day and now im on the market for .... everything. I would like to know if you guys experienced some issues with log me in on your tablet. What are best ways to use and utilise the tablet. Also another question is a cable, can i use MHL or Micro HDMI cable with this tablet or is that a no-no? If so would the same cable work with my GNex? What apps would you recommend and generally anything related to this. Any input suggestion or, in the end, discussion is welcomed.
Edit#2 can you connect USB drives or sticks to it, if so how?

MHL/HDMI is a nono yes. The only way I'm aware of it being done is through a Raspberry Pi, you may aswell forget about that now
I wouldn't use LogMeIn to be honest, take a look at SplashTop HD
Finally, you need a USB-OTG (on the go), then a normal memory stick/usb hard drive. Download an App called StickMount(Rooted) or Nexus Media Importer (Non-Rooted) and away you go.
PS - Welcome to the best little tablet !

Thanks for such a quick reply! Shame that there is no MHL capabilities. I sort of need log me in for work purpouses. I tried on the phone and the app worked flawlessly but on the baled graphic was gone and frankly speaking unusable.
USB OTG just plug it it, than my stick, run my app and off it works?
Can i connect keyboard and mouse same way?
Cheers
Has anyone heard anything about HTC having the ability to have bluetooth HID connectivity with the newer version of 4.2 ?
I know it's not out just yet too.
It's something which has always been missing from sense phones and something i've always missed.
Even when an AOSP rom comes out which has the connectivity there, i always seem to miss sense and then cut my losses and gone back.
Any info would be great, rumours, official responses, anything.
Cheers.
EDIT: So sorry, posted in the wrong section, meh.
Please move mod, sorry
In theory they should do! If I can connect a wired controller via OTG cable, then why can't I with Bluetooth controllers? What if we use Bluetooth adapters?

Wired yea, but unfortunately not the same thing as bluetooth, and a fair point about the dongle, although you would need the relevant drivers and seeing as though it was difficult to get some BT dongles working on windows vista even when those dongle were made for windows (including XP) i see little hope for drivers being discovered let alone created for android.
The point is, HTC have always blocked the bluetooth HID part of their bluetooth stack and thus we cannot connect to things like the ps3 controller for six axis support,, just try wiimote or six axis and you'll see what i mean.
I find it ridiculous that the likes of the asus prime and the s3 can have this and we can't, just doesn't make sense, or maybe they've struck a deal not to?? i have no idea.
Another thing (which is off topic) the CRT animation has apparently been removed, just like it was on the One X.
Another thing i find confusing.
If anyone else has anything else to offer, i'd love to hear it.
Cheers.
Ok guys, maybe this question has been asked and maybe it has not. I'm typing this on the fly via mobile of course and don't have the time to scour through related forum threads which may or may not be able to help me out.
That said, I have several adapters that I use for packet injection. I have one which has an SMA port for antennas and I bought a 16dBi high gain antenna to use with another project and I am also using with this adapter.
Anyway, I woukd like to be able to use this adapter with its extended range while I'm wardriving.
I have microUSB to Female USB cables for my phone. But connecting a device does little other than power it on.
I need a script that disables the on board WiFi and installs a driver for the secondary adapter and then enables it. Or perhaps there is an app out there that makes this easier.
Anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this dilemma I'm facing?
Thanks in Advance!

C'mon guys, this is the TOP mobile device (particularly Android) forum in the world. I've been a member for years... I know someone on here has something I can try or a complete solution. I know that this has been successful on the Droid Milestone but that's a bit of an older phone.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks again..

google "pwnpad" maybe you find something you can use, also the wifi adapter they use is cheap and support packet injection and external antennas.

Thanks milad407... Your input is appreciated. I am looking in to it right now... If I find a good solution I will be sure to post it here in the forums.
Again, thank you!
You're welcome, i'll be keeping my eye on the thread, if you find something..

Ok, I have not tried this yet but if it works in anyway similar to how it would on a laptop then I should succeed. Using either "Linux Deploy" or Complete Linux Installer" I can install various Linux distros on my phone virtually. Even custom images can be used. But by stock you can install Ubuntu, Debian, (not sure why they offer both), Backtrack, Kali (again, unsure why they offer both) and several other Linux distros.
If I install Backtrack, which I know supports the adapter I want to use when running from live cd or live usb from a laptop (or even Kali Linux) then it should also work on my device. It's all about the drivers and disabling the devices built in WiFi adapter....
I have to take my phone back to stock due to some issues which have recently occurred. I will S-Off first probably, then return to Stock, re-root and after I recover my contacts, programs, etc, etc, I will attempt to install a virtual image of either BT5 or Kali and see what happens.
Again, I will keep updated this thread. If it works then everyone with an M7 from Sprint will be able to utilize this method.
:fingers-crossed:
Have a look here as well: http://www.toolswatch.org/2013/05/installing-my-own-pwnpad-community-for-fun-and-for-less-than-300/
I think the problem with the Pwnpad source code is that, it's written for Nexus 7

Hmmm, interesting... I actually have a Nexus 7 - 32GB 1st gen, it's a nice, smooth tablet but doesn't hold a candle many other devices out there. If I had my choice of device to turn in to a "hacking" tab, uh, Phablet... I would choose the Galaxy Note 3.
Check out the arena....
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Google-Nexus-7-2013,Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3,Samsung-Galaxy-Mega-6.3/phones/8021,7984,7805
But, aside from that... You would think that you would only be limited to any devices hardware capabilities... Technically, we could probably take an old Toshiba or Acer Iconia tablet, install and/or run either BT5 or Kali virtually on top of whatever version of Android the device is running and have near the same capabilities that you would with a laptop.
If/when I figure out a way to use my Alpha AWUS036NH on any of the devices I own I'll be able to wardrive and pick up networks from nearly and 1/8th - 1/4 of a mile away. No exaggeration. Utilizing a 16dBi omni directional antenna instead of the measly 5 dBi that's included make an enormous difference.
But, rather or not it will work so easily running BT5 or Kali virtually over JellyBean or ICS compared to the ease of a live/virtual/physical installation of either OS on a laptop or PC will only be known once it has been tried. I wish I had more free time to do what I truly love to do with technology instead of the repetitive and thankless administration tasks I perform at work... The grass is always greener though... Lol!
One of these weekends I'll get something going, and I'll post it and hopeflly save peeps that $899. The only thing they will have to pay for will be the adapter(s) they choose to utilize and the tablet, phablet, or even phone that they want to use The rest will be open source and included with (hopefully) current and future releases of Kali Linux now that BT5 is suddenly and abruptly "dead". Did that catch anyone else by surprise or just me? Lol!
