Given that enabling USB networking on the Onyx firmware is tricky, to simplify this step I just prepared an application: UsbNetworking.apk (remove the appended '.zip', only there in order to upload the file).

Why: to share the desktop with your other systems, you must preliminarily create a logical network between the main system and the mobile device (the physical part can be cable, ether etc.). This app configures the mobile device in an USB connection (the other side remains to be configured manually).

Unfortunately, you must have rooted the device to make it work: only the "system administrator" can apparently play with USB and its networking. To root the device I am very comfortable with the one-click "Cydia Impactor" and I am using version 9.14.

The application has two buttons - enable and disable. Provided you are connected through a USB cable, "Enabling" will start networking with the system at the other side of the cable and set an address for the device as "192.168.22.2" (you can then set the other system as something like "192.168.22.1" and start connection between any server and client on the opposite sides). "Disabling" will just revert to normality. If any button returns a "warning [no effect yet]" message, you are encouraged to press again.

For those who prefer the more technical way, instructions follow in the next post.

The application was tested summarily on an i86 and on a MaxCarta. Of course, responsibility remains with those who try.
