Building for Samsung Galaxy S3 about android-keyboard-gadget HOT 11 CLOSED

copy of the patched files are here https://github.com/the-st0rm/android-keyboard-gadget/tree/master/Samsung_S3

from android-keyboard-gadget.

Hi. What kernel did you use, could you please give me the link?
When you plug your phone into PC, there should be devices /dev/hidg0 and
/dev/hidg1 created in filesystem, if you don't have them - the patch
doesn't work.

I can see the /dev/hidg0 and /dev/hidg1 created ..
the kernel I am using is https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

from android-keyboard-gadget.

Then it should work. Install this app to perform keyboard input:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.hid.keyboard.client

It needs root to open these devices. If your phone is not rooted, you can
do 'chmod 666 /dev/hidg0 /dev/hidg1' from ADB shell, and then launch the
app.

the permissions are ok but it is not working. I think the problem in this file
android.c
in this function specifically
android_enable_function

in the kernel you built the device for it the android_enable_function takes three arguments in the Samasung S3 kernel the function takes only 2 arguments !!
This is the definition of the function
static int android_enable_function(struct android_dev *dev, char *name)

I think this is the problem

On a side note I built it for Nexus 4 and it worked perfectly so thank you so much
but I was trying to send the three combination alt+ctrl+t but it didn't work !!
I did this
echo --left-ctrl --left-alt t | hid-test.bin /dev/hidg0 keyboard

any suggestions??

You may try the patch for kernel 3.1, that's what I'm using for Nexus 7
2012 kernel:
https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/blob/master/kernel-3.1.patch
android_enable_function() in that patch has 2 parameters instead of 3.

I've checked your hid-gadget-test command, and discovered that I broke this
functionality, so I've fixed it and updated it, please re-download the file:
https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/tree/master/hid-gadget-test

Hello, can you please help me with the installation guide or point me to one, i dont understand this, am using samsunt s3 at&t, cynogenmod 13.0, android 601.

thanks

@horllste : Here is a guide on how to build lineageos for Samsung Galaxy S3 International (i9300):
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/i9300/build . The step of patching for HID support has to be done before "brunch i9300".

The problem seems to have been fixed, therefore closing.
