Googler's idea for implementing USB Mass Storage on N7 without rooting - Nexus 7 General

Brian Swetland proposes this app idea for USB Mass Storage on the N7, even without rooting. Thoughts from the devs?
More links and discussion on his G+ post. Excuse the hack job on the G+url, new member and such: plus[dot]google[dot]com/u/0/116035013937554489222/posts/KiqFpDpDWto

I see a some grumbling about the Nexus 7 (and Galaxy Nexus) not supporting USB Mass Storage devices (thumb drives, etc). Want to make some friends by writing a fun app? Use the USB Host APIs, implement USB Mass Storage (basicly SCSI over USB bulk -- pretty simple encapsulation), and FAT/FAT32 in a standard Android app and make it available via market. No need for "rooting" for this to work.

I have gone and read the thread on Gplus but I still don't understand this!

A pretty handy app in my opinion, and as always, if it's a widget you use, keep it in internal memory.
Thanks, this should come in handy. I was previously moving everything over 1 by 1 with Titanium.
Thanks, looks like it's an easier way to figure out which app is Froyo A2SD compatible then anything else I've found.

Droid 4 JB OTG?

Are we supposed to be able to use OTG on Jellybean? I am unable to use anything... I even installed the ICS module from the thread in the dev section, but to no avail..

I also was wondering this, I know it used to be that you needed to have a special cable that needed power.
Jumped back on stock and tried with my hd dock and I still am able to use mouse keyboard and flash drive.... I don't know what otg features you seek but I'll dig out my home made dock tomorrow and try... (just a homemade otg cable with a USB hub and power spliced into a cheep business card holder)

and it doesnt work
I'm guessing you have a y cable for that or a powered USB hub... external devices require power... if you don't that's why its not working...

[Q] Using PC internet connection

Hi,
I recently bought MOTO G2, I used my mobile sim network to download few applications.
I use Tata Photon+ for my desktop, So anyone please provide information to use that internet in my mobile through only USB therthering.
also provide info whether Photon+ can be used directly using OTG cable to mobile?
Try this

If you are ROOTED try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287494
I have tried to connect Huawei Power-Fi E8221 through USB OTG but it doesn't recognise it just gives power to device
Personally I suggest you that you should buy small usb wifi adapter for your PC and share internet through it by using software like MyPublicWiFi
This feature you are asking is called Reverse Tethering. It is still under development AND requires root.
This so might help you.

Just buy USB mini wireless adapter.
It's only $4 and free shipping.
It can work as an AP access point and you can share you internet connection from desktop.
Plug it in and you are ready to go.

How to stream Steam Games on Mac to Remix mini

I know this might be a very specific use case but I was wondering, is there a way to stream a game from Steam Running on my Macbook Pro to the Remix Mini and have it be playable with a controller?
Some quick internet research has told me that it is possible with a PC running windows but I don't think so with a mac.
Even with the Nvidia Geforce Experience (PC only app)
For what it's worth here's what I'm running

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and you know what the Remix mini can do.
(I have the 2Gig RAM version)
Is there a way to do this?
cheers guys!

Tried, it requires you to download the GeForce Experience which is PC only at this point.
So no easy way to do it natively at this moment. Thanks for the suggestion though.
With nvidia graphics card you can try Moonlight stream
in order to use moonlight even you do bootcamp is GTX nvidia card and not a GT.

Hey from France!

Hi,
I'm a new subscriber here. But I already followed your forum to test my first android root>lineage with an old xperia ray and it works now without any gapps (an emergency phone when one breaks for instance).
I don't have windows (I quit in 2004 to linux and now an old good unibody macbook pro for everyday and linux for "noobgeeking".
I'm used to use iphone but I'm looking for quiting since I'm bored of a centralized system. I don't usually like android because of gapps and tracking but I discovered - thanks to you- a way to be "independent". Vollaphone and it's multiboot vollaos/ubuntutouch is sexy to me: I'm going to buy one, I think so.
-_> My purpose is, these days (I posted yesterday about that), to root and to install lineage 19 in a Lenovo x606f: I asked a lot of questions because everything is not clear.
Read you soon !
and thanks to your forum!
Welcome to XDA and enjoy the forums information!
Cheers
