USB pass through to Android apps?
Since I use hardware that requires USB pass through to Android apps, is it possible? I've installed v3 beta, but my system has an issue with initiating both F-droid and Arura store, possibly because I dual boot with Windows or my 6th gen intel cpu. I might buy a new laptop soon with Ryzen 5700U CPU. If someone is able to verify USB pass through capability it would save me a lot of time and money. If not I'll have to do it the old way of testing with an actual Android system.
For the curious, I have wireless sensors that connect to a box with a USB that connects to an Android app for monitoring activity. Having a laptop for data collection is much better than rewriting everything back to Windows.

check the waydroid docs maybe? https://docs.waydro.id
I already checked and asked in their telegram group. It's not supported! I believe Waydroid runs in an enclosed instant or environment, but in blend OS they run natively. So I guess that since they do, it would be able to get USB through.
they do not run natively in blendOS
waydroid runs normally
I would test it in my system but I can't. If you don't mind, can you plug a USB into your laptop and see if you can read it through any file manager like MiXplorer in Android? I'd really appreciate it!
I'm on windows
I use a remote hypervisor for testing
Alright, Thanks anyway. you've ben a great help.
If anyone has it installed, would be thankful if you could test it and report back!
By testing, I mean plugging any USB and try reading it through any Android file manager.
I doubt it would work
I'm hanging by a sliver of hope here!😅
@Gray_Ti no unfortunately not working for me
i plugged a usb drive in and it doesn't appear in the android file manager
Thank you for taking the time to test it for me!
no problem, i already have blend on my main pc :D
