Thread: Huawei S7 Slim OTG USB cable

    They are asking R45-00.

    Postage is in the range of R30-00 (will have to make sure) if someone needs me to send them one. I'll test each one before sending it off to make sure it works.

    Eh, I got the same question as rodga. It may not be your job but if you want to make a quick buck MyWorld:

    How much will you charge for me to bring you my S7 Slim and you get it all to work?

    I'd rather have someone do it properly than me trying it and breaking everything.

    *edit*

    Damn, this thread moved fast while I wasn't looking and didn't see everything that was written since about the nice adapters and whatnot. That will teach me for opening up a thread, walking away and posting later.

    Try it first without the patch, if that does not work I'll direct you to the step-by-step instructions for windows users.

    EDIT:
    Thanks, got the cover via Ebay when I first got the tablet.

    Make sure your device is rooted, Google it if it isn't or search this forum/xda-forums/android tablet forums, it has been explained many times.

    Download this patch:
    http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...c-s7-slim.html

    Just follow the instructions. Read the entire thread before you go ahead just to familiarise yourself with the patch.

    This patch will:
    > gsensor fix 2 (framework.jar) for google sky map , may work for Slim ROM base on South African ROM
    > SRS surround and preset equalizer may work for others S7 Slim ROM (who have not enable it yet)
    > USB host permissin and set installlocation is general things.
    Bad English, but you get the point.

    Choose option 2, 3, 4 - that is all you need.

    Again LEAVE boot.img ALONE!

    In Windows it should be very simple, I do not use Windows so just run the patch, it should be self explanatory.

    Okay, if you are still wondering about how safe this is and whatnot, to save us all a huge headache, just apply the patch, it does nothing sinister. If you do not want to install the other patches, extract the content of g-sensor.zip and look for the file "huawei.software.huawei_usb_host.xml"
    Copy this file onto your device with a root file manager (read on, I provide a link to one) into the following location:

    Code:
    /system/etc/permissions/
    Long press on the file till a menu pops up -> click "Permissions"
    Set the permissions of the file (644 for linux folk who use cli):
    Owner: Read, Write
    Group: Read
    Other: Read

    If there is already such a file (which I doubt) rename it/back it up and copy the new file over.

    Reboot

    Download a root file manager:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...G1zb2Z0LmZtIl0.
    This one works very well and is free.

    In the root of your device make a folder "usb_drive"

    To mount the flash drive:
    http://android.gval.biz/download/Q5_...ry_Manager.apk
    Download this onto the tablet and install it.

    Make sure you have "USB-Debugging" enabled!

    Plug in the flash drive with the adapter. If the light on the drive starts flickering it means it is communicating with the device and everything should work. All my flash drives behaved the same, so if there is no light activity you have the wrong adapter.

    How to use it:
    http://android.gval.biz/Q5_USB_Menory_Manager.php

    If you are a linux user it should be very straight forward. The flash drive for me is always listed as "sda1". Wait for the light on the drive to stop flickering, open Q5 USB Memory Manager, select "sda1", make sure the file system is "vfat", make sure the mount location is "usb_drive" (default), and click mount.

    Now you can browse/use the flash drive with your preferred file manager.

    Remember before unplugging the drive (this is for flash drives and hdd's only) you need to unmount it with Q5 USB Memory Manager.

    Regarding the g-sensor fix:
    Download Noogra Nuts or Google Sky Map - or any application that needs to implement the g-sensors (where you need to tilt the device). You will notice that performance is very poor making it impossible to play some games, and in the Google Sky Map instance the compass is off by 90 degrees. This fixes those issues.

    Tried the gsensor patch, tablet then failed to boot. Managed to restore MTN rom from microsd, but /cache partition is now too small(fails to install anything bigger than 32mb from Play store). Got a script to temporarily fix that also though...

    Will try USB host mode when I get adaptor from local store(next week).
    Just a quick note: C#
