Does anyone know what it would take to be able to support USB cameras on Lineage-14.1 for 5th generation Ford models?
Is it a matter of adding the UVC driver?
I am hoping to use this tablet with a USB borescope camera, but at the moment, when apps try to connect to an attached camera, the device restarts.
Thanks!

Hello,
I was wondering, whether it was possible, maybe with help of some software, to connect a digital camera to diamond over USB to transfer images from the said camera to the phone. Anyone?
usb host support is required for that to work
and as far as i know diamond dont have host support
could be wrong though as i recall a post claiming that
rapheal support it with the correct cables
I want to be able to use a wired ethernet connection with the Galaxy Camera over USB using a OTG cable. I know it doesn't support it out of the box. I have looked all over the internet but did not find a solution. I am willing to pay if someone can create a reliable solution for this.
I need to be able to use a USB OTG cable (such as this) and a USB to ethernet adapter (such as this) in order to connect the Galaxy Camera to the internet.
Did you manage to achieve this ?
I am plannig to do something similar. I am trying to capture audio & video feed over ethernet , the performance over wifi is not so good.

I am still looking for a solution. I am also looking into other options like the new S4 Zoom. Someone managed to make it work with the S4, so I thought it would be an easy port for them to do it for S4 Zoom.
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'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.
I'm thinking about using an Amazon Fire 7 inch tablet as a car radio dashboard install, but before I commit to buying one, I can't seem to find any conclusive answers on a few things.
Firstly, does the fire output USB audio so I can use a USB dac?
And if so, is it possible to use a Y split cable for USB audio and charging at the same time?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I can confidently say this Fire like most other Amazon devices will not support charging while the USB port is being used for any other function. Can't speak to USB audio out (suspect not) as most go with Bluetooth.

It does seem to be a difficult feature to find on Android tablets.
According to Wikipedia, it's a simple implementation of a USB otg cable that should allow charging on any usb otg device.
USB Otg Wiki
The major problem (presuming the cable does work and usb audio is possible) is that the kernel needs to be able to enable USB otg at the same time as charging.

Yep. The stock kernel on most consumer devices don't have robust OTG support as the most commonly used gizmo is a flash drive. I was able to get a OTG GPS receiver to work but it wasn't plug-n-play by any means. Charging didn't work in that context...although I didn't fiddle with it much.
I've been working on a kinda similar project, I just haven't had time. I'm trying to use my fire as an octoprint server, which is a program that monitors and controls 3d printers. The problem is that it requires usb to be connected to the printer, while also staying powered on. What I'm going to try is remove the battery, step down 12v from the printer to 3.7v and just hack it onto where the battery would connect to the pcb. I'm not sure what the different pins on the battery connector are though, so I'll have to test those. Otherwise, it should work.
