You'd need to add support to kernel if you want to use the dongle on your phone over OTG.
There is a experimental entry in Kconfig for Realtek devices which have not been tested, enabling that might work. Else you will have to add support yourself.
Either way you'll need to compile your own kernel for it.
Have you tested by simply inserting OTG and dongle and see what happens?
Since phone has wifi already (I guess) it might not work if internal is interfering with external.

I had to add that driver to several linux kernels that i use on my machines (Ubuntu and OpenElec).
Never tested on my Mate 10 Pro, or any other Android device.
However, adding that to the kernel would require some work and i'm not even sure it works fine on android.

thank alot for your help..
...Oh, I forgot to say that My device The model name really is named Realtek 8811CU Wireless Lan 802.11ac USB NIC.
I use the 8811CU driver installed on linux. It can connect and use normally. But the driver that came with the device The name is back. This model is RTL88x2BU. Will it work as well with the links you recommend?

Then probably this - > https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU <- should work for your device.

There is no easy way to do that. First you will have to check if your kernel has support for that Realtek driver and it it does, enable it (as ante0 said).
If it doesn't have support for that driver, then first compile the kernel from sources (without any modification to the source) and check if your device will boot, if it doesn't, then you can stop here and forget about adding that driver to the kernel.
If it does boot with the compiled kernel, then you will have to add the driver to the source code and here, again, there's no guarantee it will work. (compilation might fail or simply, the kernel builds just fine but the driver won't work... like i said, there's no easy way for this).
In my opinion, you better start searching on GitHub for an android kernel that already has support for that driver, but you will also have to check the kernel version (if it matches yours, then you have higher chances to port it for your device's kernel).
Best option : Buy a Wi-Fi adapter that have in-kernel support already.

Hi,
Have anyone tried installing drivers for USB devices on O2 flame, like USB to serial converter etc. I was trying to do this and it fails. I want to use my USB to serial converter to connect to the Flame's OTG port. I tried to install the FTDI driver according to the procedure given. but O2 flame does'nt allow to install any driver. I am really . Trying this for quite a long time.
Anyone had a success in doing this, will appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Manas.
Can you give us a link to your drivers. Without that we will not be able to help you.

I downloaded the driver from this link http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Its not only this driver. In the process to evaluate if the Flame supports installation of new USB driver. I found that it is not allowing. Not even the DLLMain is called.
Done. This is not that easy to though.
how? really intrested... trying to install on toshiba g900
Install a USB driver on Flame
Sorry I was not in touch with this forum for a long time.
For this the first step is to do the registry setting correctly:
HKLM/DRIVERS/USB/LOADCLIENTS
HKLM/DRIVERS/USB/...
Dont forget to mention the index and the prefix values.
the dll must be placed in the /windows folder
Important: Build the driver project with the windows ce version 4.2.
I don't want to spam any of those "How to install Linux" on our A500 Development forum and if I can get a good step-by-step I'll then edit this post to include it.
I am using both Ubuntu 11.10 Native and Backtrack (Ubuntu 10.04) in Chroot.
What I'd like is a procedure to build the module like I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484339
[infernix] is refering to this post for the method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455382
I am a good learner and able to Google a lot but I can't find it...
I need a step-by-step to build my Realtek RTL8187 USB modules...
The linux headers are not the same as the kernel version and not too sure about the procedure to fix this.
Anyone who can provide me a good tutorial on how to fix this out Please?
How could I install the linux headers if I have untar the source code from Acer in /linux and not /usr/src ?
When I try to "make" the realtek drivers downloaded from Realtek it doesnt work as in /lib/modules I don't have the Acer kernel source files neither...
I know I'm not too far from the solution but starting to need help from experts ;-)
I would prefer to have the native method as it is quicker and I'll use it in native more than in chroot. It's about the same thing the missing files or wrong directory if you need the exact errors let me know and I'll retry it and paste here.
If the winner has paypal I will send you 10$
So basically, I need a Complete step-by-step on how to build modules for my Realtek RTL8187 USB using the Ubuntu 11.10 Native on my ROM: KJY2010_3.2.1_Honeylicious_Icy_Faux_Final_Rev_FZ
Thanks in advance to the winner
First off: For Linux Native the procedure is exactly the same as for any other Linux, i. e. compile, link, install and modprobe the module as usual... If you don't get the source for the driver or at least a usable blob, i. e. one that's been compiled for ARM and is compatible with your kernel, you're pretty much out of luck. If you do get the source, just hope it compiles and works on ARM...
Second: If you're running chrooted, the android kernel handles all I/O for you -- including network. So all you have to do is to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (on android) to be a file just containing a single "1" and set up your nameserver in resolv.conf (inside chroot)... 8.8.8.8 (Google public DNS) will do.
Is there any way to enable USB port using backtrack 5 (I used vnc, android terminal to get this backtrack working) to connect a USB wireless adapter to my iconia A500 and use backtrack 5 complete features?
probably not
If you are using the stock rom and kernel, then no. Linux in a chrooted environment uses the already-installed Android kernel to run, not a separate kernel, and the kernel modules for most USB devices including wireless cards are not included in the stock kernel.
I haven't used a non-stock kernel (yet), so I don't know if there are any non-stock rom/kernel combos that include additional kernel modules.
Thanks

you mean a usb wifi dongle.....do you mean to use the "pentesting" tools in backtrack since most android phones lack monitor mode?
if so then yes but the work around isn't pretty and i wouldn't even try if your chrooting backtrack 5 and not dual booting it natively
ill type up the terminal codes if you really want them no guarantee that it will work when your not booting it natively and that it won't have compatibility issues
XD
Yes please type the codes

So I installed backtrack 5 successfully on my Note II running ARHD 14 and Perseus kernel, but I have a little problem. I can partially run airmon-ng but the internal wifi adapter can not be used in monitor mode so I want to find out how I can make a WN722n adapter to work using OTG adapter.
Backtrack seems to recognise the adapter as shown by the lsusb command. So I think is driver related the missing part to make it work. Any idea where I can find and how I can install the appropriate driver to work?
Anyone have an idea?
Hi,
can you please send me the post or the HOWTO you used to install BT5 on note 2 ?

All linux OSs that has been ported to android, are not quite perfect. They are still in beta. So some things may not work. If I will find solution how to fix that. I'll post it here as soon as possible.

while i can not help you out, i would just like to say that having bt5 running on that bad boy just sound awesome.
are we talking command line or GUI ?
i would love to see a video if you find the time.
While i have no idea where to ask, i don't think this is the right place. i am not sure it will be helpful in any way but there was a lot of work put into porting BT for the original Xoom, and as i remember, it was also using an adapter to set monitor mode. you could maybe ask it as a general question and not device specific, and get some useful information that way. i will look into it when i finally get my Note II.

After looking for a while how to use the newer X1 controller on Android, I came across this thread and this guy says the xpad.c should get replaced by this https://github.com/paroj/xpad
Example for if the page gets removed:
It is possible to use the controller via USB OTG, but your device MUST be rooted and it may be difficult.
First of all check your X1 controller DeviceId, on Windows you can do it through Device Manager: Device Manager -> Xbox Controller -> Properties -> Details -> Hardware Ids
VID should be 0x45e
PID will be either 0x2d1 or 0x2dd
Easy method for older controllers (0x2d1)
If you are running a ROM based on Linux kernel 3.18, then the controller will work out of the box! So you might want to flash a new ROM/Kernel if it's very important to you... This is probably the easiest solution.
Otherwise, You can probably make the controller work with the "USBBT Joystick Center GOLD" application which you can get here. Just follow this Youtube video and it SHOULD work if you're lucky
Hard method for newer controllers (0x2dd)
If the above didn't work or you have the new controller, and you're not shy about recompiling the Android kernel, you can:
A. Download the Android kernel sources for you device (see instructions h-ttps://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html)
B. In the kernel sources, replace the file xpad.c under /drivers/input/joystick/ with the newest sources from here: h-ttps://github.com/paroj/xpad
C. Rebuild the whole kernel and replace your boot image, or just build xpad as a kernel module and load it using insmod from the adb shell
GOOD LUCK!
