I use a USBOTG adapter + ThinkPenguin dongle + RepWifi for wifi and it works well with all apps I tried, though I might buy a different OTG adapter like this one because my linked one sometimes jiggles out of place.

I also use a ZeroLemon 7000mah battery (and its associated case), which is AFAIK the biggest battery ever made commercially available for the S3, and it works very well -- I usually get a few days out of the phone at least without resorting to a charge. It's kind of hard to find but people sell them on ebay.

The usage notes wiki page is helpful with some other tips for actually using Replicant as a daily driver.

Sarcasm aside, you can buy microUSB male to USB female adapters on amazon for pretty cheap, I EDC carry 1 and have more on order. This allows you to plug a USB drive, wifi card, USB keyboard/mouse, etc into your phone or tablet.

These are the ones I use right now and I have these being delivered to me in a few days.

One common issue is power delivery. If you can get a usb type a male to type a male (like this one) and a battery bank. You should be able to plug it into one of the slots on your hub, which would power the whole thing. I think it's legal, and even if it isn't, the controllers have stayed connected even after the battery bank is disconnected in our experience.

Edit: I am very bad at formatting links

Edit 2: Try this for your type a to micro b connection if that turns out be the problem.

I just recently did a round of trying to shave some weight off my little 30 after my trip last week. Here's what I came up with.

Among those, food, water, and clothing are going to be the biggest sources of weight and thus the most room for improvement if you haven't already dialed it it. I liked the backpacking light podcast 018 on clothing. u/VoilaVoilaWashington hit the nail on the head with a good tip that I also plan for. Make sure that you can wear all of your clothing at once. Furthermore plan on that being your setup if it's the coldest it's going to get on the trip you're going on. Some specific gear tips long these lines. Frogg Toggs are cheap and light rain gear. Shared with me in my last pack shakedown here and I picked some up. I stopped bringing a spare pair of underwear since I was sleeping in my thermals anyway.

For food, I did a poor job here, and often do, but I know it and haven't really wanted to fit it just yet. I enjoy some fresh food and making interesting meals. But this is a serious place one can cut weight. First of all calorie count and plan ahead. Don't bring a little extra for each meal since that will build up over time if you can't finish it. This takes experience with your own eating habits to know and I'm still working on it myself.

Water is huge. My trick is to continually check where the next water source is and when I'm half way to my next one, make sure I'm half way through my water. Probably more than half way through. Because I don't want to be finishing just as I get there. In an ideal world I'd be thirsty upon arriving. However, this can be a little risky. So figure that into it. Just make sure you continually keep an eye on water and where the next source is so that you can budget. Remember a little water history for your trip. "I drank 1 liter in the last 5 miles." "Yesterday I went through 2 liters total" etc.

For first aid I have a very minimal kit in a ziplock bag. It weighs 19 grams. Many people have pack lists for this. Check those out and make your own. Almost every camping first aid kit is way heavier than something you just piece together.

For electronics I really like the Litesmith Nitecore NU25 tripple output USB rechargeable. The headband is just thin shock cord and yes, it's actually very comfortable. It only weighs 33 grams which is 1/3 of the weight of my previous Black Diamond and USB rechargeable saves on battery replacement. In fact the use of an internal rechargeable battery and not AAA's is one of the reasons it's so light in the first place.

I also use one of these USB adapters instead of an actual USB cord. Now I know a lot of people are probably thinking that USB cables are so light, this is just a ridiculous place to shave a few grams. But hear me out. This thing is not only lighter, it's much more durable. It's down side is that you need to plug your power bank into your phone in one straight line. That's generally easy for me. Both my hammock ridgeline organizer as well as my tent's mesh pockets have plenty of space to lay these things out like that.

I run a traditional titanium pot 700ml, canister stove. the BRS UL stove is super light and super cheap. Also very popular among thru hiker YouTubers. So it's well tested. You could consider cold soaking, which I've always wanted to try and I'm actually going to play around with this weekend on a camping trip. This is one of the places where lighter weight actually means lower cost as well. A disposable spoon from any fast food place and a peanut butter or Talenti jar are both free, basically as light as you can possibly go, and make a complete setup. Personally for me though, a titanium spoon is well worth the 9-11 grams.

Most folks these days use smart water bottles. I'm no exception. They're very light and sort of free. I say sort of because I really don't ever just have them. I need to buy them for backpacking when I replace them. But they come full of water which makes them nice for resupplies. I go with just a Sawyer squeeze. I carried a CNOC vector but now I leave it at home unless I think I might want to carry more than 2L at some point. One bottle is for dirty water. Also some people were down on the sport cap as a back flusher on this thread. I have not had issues really with that so I'm still using it.

I put some money into food bagging and got the Zpacks bear bagging kit. I Actually found mine piecemeal as a bargain bin item on the Zpacks store for the food bag, bought the rock bag separately, and the rope I got on the cheapest place I could find which was by the foot at a hardware store. 1.8mm cord is light and strong enough. You could do it my way or just grab their food bag kit. You can get this MSR utility cord as well

I'm considering dropping the small swiss army knife I have from backpacking trips. It's highly debatable. I'm just not using it all that much.

Stuff sacks are debatable. I have 70 grams (2.46oz) of stuff stacks in my pack right now. I have the one for the tiny stove (2g) my cook pot (8g) etc. It could definitely go at some point but at the moment it seems like I can handle the extra weigh for some organization. Some of them are on the chopping block though.

I hope this helps you out.

Get yourself a receiver and plug it into the micro USB port with an adapter.

I don't know anything about the S2 or moonshine, but this is the setup that worked right out of the box with the Shield K1. Good luck!

This one should work. I have ordered them and will see if it works. (The smaller Micro-B 2.0 fits in the larger female Micro-B 3.0 slot). Actually my old adapter (which I found today) is the smaller 2.0 Micro-B but I posted the 3.0 Micro-B so people don't get confused answering my question.

You mean like this?

Edit: Or rather this?

Super Metroid (probably not the most playable)

Actually, are you going with Android? You could go real slick and get a micro usb to USB female OTG adapters (https://smile.amazon.com/Ksmile-Female-Adapter-SamSung-tablets/dp/B01C6032G0/) and a USB gamepad to play with.

You could probably use something like this to connect a wireless mouse

Ksmile® 2 Pack USB 2.0 Micro USB Male to USB Female Host OTG Adapter for Adroid / SamSung S7 S6 S4 S3 i9100 i9300 Note 2./ Google Nexus HTC LG Sony mobile phones or smart tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C6032G0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KY0xCb26F0BFX

So I just tried this out, and getting past the encryption in your scenario is easy. You're going to want to buy a usb to usb-micro connector and plug in a usb keyboard. Turn on your phone and then wait a bit to ensure you're at the encrption prompt since you can't see your screen. Type your encryption password and then hit enter. (Do this on the top numbers of the keyboard rather than the num pad if your pazsword has numbers) Wait a few mins for your phone to unencrypt and then plug the phone into your desktop now. The tricky part would be accepting your phone to your desktop as a usb mode that will allow for file transfer. I say cross that bridge when you get there.

Heres the link to the converter for the keyboard you'll need.
