Random question - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey the title kinda says it all. I've just been theorising a smidge in my head and wonder if I'm crazy. That or posting in wrong forum lol.
Anyways basically I started thinking about running kali or any other Linux on my s8 but if I remember correctly I had a ton of trouble setting up network adapter for pen testing use. What I'm wondering is if there is any way at all a usb WiFi such as a tp-link could be ran via a usb adaptor? Could be madness but id like it enough to throw my madness out for more knowledgeable opinions.
Thanks

I can't give you an exact answer because what you're searching is very specific. But I will advise you 2 things :
1/ Rename your post because titled it "random question" is just useless
2/ If you don't find anything on Google, maybe you can just try and see You seem to have the knowledge to accomplish your wish so why not trying, it's not risky !
Good luck

Using a memory stick IN the TyTn

Hello everyone.
I did a quick search on the site and found nothing about this so im posting this. If this has been covered already and i missed it, i do applogize.
Now, to the post:
Sitting at my desk i looked at my memory stick (plain usb one) and i thought: "Wouldn't it be nice if i could plug this into the phone"
And here we are, my question: has anyone done this?
Is it possible without massive surgical procedures, to connect a plain usb memory stick to the phone?
I know you can use the phone as a memory stick, but thats not what im asking (just covering for various posts with links to the FAQ)
Kinds regards,
J
The TyTYN doesn't support the USB host profile which is what would be required for this to work.
What a shame.
Thanks for the reply!

how would you unlock this wizard (only experts)

im trying to unlock this wizard but there is one problem
it wont sync, it only charges (i´ve seen other wizards with the same issue) there's in fact another thread and i have already posted there.
it wont sync over bluetooth because the first sync has to be with cable.
im out of ideas, maybe someone can help me out.
thanks for any help.
i know in ebay some people sell the unlock codes, but as you can tell by my english im from mexico and things are not OK at the moment.
maybe there is an app that can calculate the codes or maybe other alternative
You must have active sync version 4.5. If you have older - update.
Or to check usb cable.
Actually I have a solution for your problem, but I'm no expert, so that leaves me out of the thread.
Bye.
I shall declare myself an expert, so that at least someone gets help (regardless whether I am, in fact, an expert or not). hmotwr's response is the kind of thing that gets users banned...just saying.
Syncing is not an unlock problem. It might be a problem that you already have two accounts in your phone, and you need to delete one of them. It could be that you're using a Vista computer (known problem). It could be that your version of WM5 is corrupted. It could be that your Wizard's microUSB connector is broken.
I suspect the solution that hmotwr is withholding is the legendary "Flash from an SD card" which has seen lots of thread activity, but very few successes. Here is a possible answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293387
Don't be afraid to use the site's search engine, it's not bad. Search engines are your friends. Get to know them, and love them.

yes the problem is the mini-usb port, didnt know that flashing was possible via SD card, i've been out of this forum for awhile (not totally im in the shift and the fuze forum)
thanks for the link, will see if it can help me out and will let you know.
activesync is out of the question since i've been able to sync via bluetooth AFTER the first sync with cable (with other phones).
thanks once again.
to all the others.....
when i wrote "only exprets" i didnt mean it in a offensive way i just wanted to get ideas and not the classical "check the cable" "try a different computer" "different version of acticvesync" because all of that has already been done, but i apologize if it was taken in a wrong way.
i appreciate all the help.

HDMI out problem

Just bought a new HDMI cable from ebay (China) but I don't get any output no matter which rom I choose. I've searched a few other threads and people have pointed to the cable, I know it's possible but wondered if there was something I was missing?
Ok...just tried on a different TV and it works ok - must be something wrong with the first TV.
My bad - mods please delete this useless thread

[Q] how does the usb dongle work?

I have the A500 wifi only and i have been reading around and seeing alot of people mentioning a 3g usb dongle. I was just curious of how they work and if you need to have a plan with them i know this seems like a noob question but i just dont understand how they work.......
I believe you need a rom installed that supports it and then should be plug and play... You'll find them in the dev section...
As I have the A501 this is a moot point for me...

Controller hardware mod?

Hi all,
I have no idea if this is the right forum (or even site for that matter) for this question, but I've been reading around on here a bit and it seems mostly related. Hopefully someone can offer some insight. If it is the wrong site or forum, I apologize. I searched for a similar topic but didn't find one.
So, for years now, I've been hoping and wishing that a new Xperia Play (or similar) device would be released. It hasn't been until recently that I've decided it's just clearly not going to happen, and maybe with enough research, I can just make it happen myself. So here's my idea:
All I really want is to take an existing Android phone (I'm researching ones that might work well) and add a slide out controller attachment onto the bottom. Ideally, it would feel very similar to the PSP Go. As a matter of fact, my current idea (since I have no experience with modding whatsoever) is to utilize the Go's bottom controller casing / internals and get them attached to an Android phone. The problem obviously, is getting that controller to communicate with the phone. I don't know if maybe getting the controller piece to just broadcast through bluetooth would be easiest (so the actual phone doesn't need to be opened up) or if there's a better / more elegant way.
So my question is this: how difficult would this be do you think? Is it a complete pipe dream? Is it something that, with enough dedication, time and research, even a noobie to hardware modding could possibly do? Or should I just assume this is impossible and give up? I assume the cost to buy materials won't be cheap, and I'm willing to spend $500-$1,000 if necessary to get it done.
I'll continue to do some research by reading through various threads here and on other sites but can anyone give me any tips/advice or offer their thoughts?
Thanks for reading!
Jason
What you are looking for is something like this:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/game-cover-the-thinnest-android-portable-gamepad#/
Also, some other user seems to be looking for the same device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/accessories/lf-game-controller-slide-case-t2843162
Looking at that thread... there seems to be some controllers for iphone... My only idea, is that maybe if you can try to connect and use one of those controllers (testing compatibility), then modify the case holder (take it off), and adapt (and probably glue) some case holder for your phone....
Good luck!!

I saw the indiegogo controller and that's EXACTLY what I want. Unfortunately, it wasn't successfully funded, so I'm not sure if there's any way to purchase it at this point. I'd absolutely buy it if I could, but I haven't found anything. Thanks for your help!
What about taking the internals of a dualshock 4? It would make it easier to connect with the phone as it has Bluetooth and you can pair it whith the phone, and it would have built-in support for remote play It's just an idea, but it would be cool to see you achieving what you want!
