I've bought an usb endoscope type of camera that I connect to both my laptop and to my samsung galaxy s5 via a usb otg cable. The app I use for the camera is the camerfi from google play and it works great. I tried to connect it to the nook hd+ via a female usb coupler but it won't work. Any ideas how to get this working?
I believe the USB Host feature is available only on CM10 and CM11 ROMs (and only for certain USB device types).
What ROM are you using?
I got 2 nooks, one on the latest lollipop cm12.1 and the other on cm11 M12.
CM12.1 current builds do not support USB Host.
On CM11 you need to use verygreen's UsbHostSwitcher app to enable it, although it does not look like USB camera is supported -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43053751&postcount=29.
Thanks for the info digimax. The usbhostswitcher app doesn't install on the cm12.1 but does on cm11. When I switched it on, while the camera wasn't working as you've predicted, the led light of the endoscope camera did turn on. Maybe someday there will be a fix to this, one can only hope.

Someone has asked this question before but it seems there was no reply to his thread. I have checked the other threads but there is no solid information confirming the USB Host is indeed working in CM9 Nightly.
So I made a Y cable with external power supply and downloaded the app USB Host Controller by SztupY. But when I run the app with either a jumpstick, an USB keyboard, or an USB mouse, the app couldn't recognize any of these devices was connected.
Could any one confirm whether the USB Host is actually working in CM9 Nightly, or I have missed something so I couldn't get it working?
The dev team has done a marvelous job to give new life to the Tab. My big thanks to all of you.
Hello,
Has anyone been successful with USB audio with the Galaxy Note? I tried it using ParanoidAndroid rom and it seems support isnt there. Im actually surprised about this since USB Host mode is available. I tried it out using a Zoom H1 and USB Audio Tester Root app.
Not yet implement in CM10.1

Hi for some reason i cant get usb host to work,
But the thing is that my devices are being powered but not detected on Android.
Also i have a "7 Nook HD with Cyanogen Mod 11 so it should work right?.
Did you enable USBHost (using Verygreen's USB Host Switcher app linked at his CM10.1 thread's OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41024398&postcount=1)?
Yes i used that and a whole bunch of different apps and roms but they wont work.
Also the app on the screen is the USBHost Switcher App.
Edit:
i also used the nook color with cm7 and usb host worked.
Ok this morning i tried connecting my usb device again and when i pressed the button to enable usb host it worked and
i was able to use my usb device then it said it disconnected because i had another app for usb host that does that.
also could it be my cord?.
I never could get my nookhd to recognize usb either.
I am running verygreen's kernel 3.0.31 -hummingbird-green+ jun 13 2013
cyanogen 10.1
i have usb storage in storage menu as well as apps that can mount devices and storage. I also have the usbhostswitcher app as well as another one I found on here that helps for this.
I have the female to female adapter...yet no signs of it working whether I connect a mouse, usb flash drive, etc. I bought the adapter from the ebay link from verygreen post and ordered another one from diff seller today just in case...
Any thing I need besides the apps? Also anyone get a usb - to - ethernet adapter to work for this nook?
thank you all for any input
Hi,
Just picked up my Fire 7 from the usual high street retailer for £49.99 - didn't want to wait til 25th Oct based on Amazon UK times. It is an impressive spec and build for the money.
I have just tried a universal OTG USB adapter to a USB key and no joy. I've also connected powered USB devices to the OTG cable and the Fire 7 is not picking them up.
My OTG cable has worked with other Android devices that support OTG - so the cable definitely works. But I am not sure of the Fire 7 supports OTG or it might need another OTG cable?
Or r00t needed to open this up feature up?

Have you tried to connect a camera using your cable? There's an app specifically for that bundled with FireOS. Maybe it works only with cameras?

Yep I have tried two cameras and no joy. I'm thinking that my OTG cable could be toast?
Has anyone else tried OTG on the Fire 7 - can you please let me know how you get on?
UPDATE: I am making the assumption that the first tablet I had was faulty on the USB. The reason for this as I have just made another attempt OTG on my replacement Fire 7. The USB OTG is definitely powered by the tablet.
OTG USB 8gb drive working.
Photo Imported kicked in the moment I connected my Canon 7d mk II & 600d camera.
250Gb Drive kept dropping out - so defo not enough power to keep this connected.
Parani-UD100a USB Bluetooth Adapter - powered up but not showing as connected.
TP-Link TL-WN722N - no power light and did not show as connected.
OK would need a ROM to get the Parani & TP-Link to work but based on what I have just done, the OTG feature is definitely powered and gives us room for expansion if features could be enabled at a later date.
OTG works out the box for me with a cheap adapter off Amazon. I've found especially after the 5.0.1 update the tablet disconnects the sd card when the USB otg is in use. It's as if it can't power both at the same time. I connect a USB memory stick via otg and then all my apps become inaccessible from the sd card.
USB OTG Ethernet confirmed working - obviously it knocks out the Wifi and takes priority.
I used a standard USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Adapter and confirmed settings via Network Info II app.
Just loaded up WiFi PCAP with the TP-Link USB and the TP-Link is definitely not being picked up.
I have CyanogenMod 11-20161128-Nightly-MLQ, kernel 3.0.101 on mine, and it doesn't seem to recognize a USB camera when it is attached. I've tried with two different apps. Verified the cable and camera work with a different tablet.
Any suggestions?
