There are a couple of things needed for this to work. The hardware of the phone needs to support acting as an usb host and driver module in the kernel needs to support that hardware mode as well. I was looking around for this too a while back, and I think I remember finding, that the kernel module had no support for the host mode, but I am not sure I am right. At the very least I think it will require a custom kernel, with some modules built, that I do not believe are in any of the custom ones here.
Kind regards
Martin

do we have usb host mode capabilities with the t-bolt? i would hate to buy another adapter like i did for my eris and then find out we have no host mode. i would like to be able to plug in a mini keyboard, a game controller, or even just a flash drive, but not without host mode. if we dont, any ideas on enabling it somehow in an ASOP rom maybe?
I have been asking the same question.. Our devs don't seem to like the idea very much.. I think it would be a major advancement..
You can plug a flash drive into the eris?

yea it would be awesome, and no you cant, it has no host mode the og droid does though, i think it has to be hardware enabled but you would assume there would be a way to emulate that with the phone
The hardware does in fact support host mode.. I believe most htc phones do... The kernel is the tricky part.. if any devs would like to help us out.. Please give a shout

I'm learning how to cook kernels.. With the sole propose of eventually getting host mode

if you happen to stumble across anything let us know. anything i can do to help?
Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I'm very interested in this! Any movement on it?

Yes and no.
The Android 3.1 platform (also backported to Android 2.3.4) introduces Android Open Accessory support, which allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special "accessory" mode.

People have gotten it working through software emulation already on htc phones similar to the thunderbolt (desire) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742

The gingerbread leak we currently have is 2.3.4. Whether it's enabled already in that build or it will come later is something I don't know.
Any more movement on this? I wait with eager anticipation for the ability to connect a usb drive to my thunderbolt!
I am also in need of a kernel for my Thunderbolt. I could really use the USB Host functionality.
My otg cable came today from hongkong for my Uk GS2 but im going to sale my GS2 but I wanna use USB host mode on my Amaze do we have a hack or rom or kernel with host built in yet? If not is there one in the works and what are we waiting on for it to work?

I'm also very interested on knowing this.. If not now, maybe in the future with S-off and some trickier roms?
Or is it just plain impossible? (I hope not)

What's wrong with the rest of the keys on your keyboard?
I'm removing your posts. That's four I just deleted.
I know it has to be built in to the kernel. And seeing as we currently only have one person doing kernel work, and doing it blind, it may be a while. But I would love to see that ability as well.

I was wondering if it's possible with cm9 that there might be a way to get on the go cable support for USB flash drives. That would be amazing.

According to your signature you're in the wrong forum.
This is for the international i9300/i9300T
Easy UMS does not work on the kernels for the US-version since they don't include a necessary module.

I've tried that now and it didnt work for me.. is there any way to get easy ums to work for a 1747? Or are there any other apps like it that I could use?
And I'm still in the wrong forum? :/ I'm so confused...

You're in the wrong forum this one is for the i9300 as the SINGLE sticky post (aswell as the forum name) at the top tells you.
Here's a link to the correct one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1667

No kernel for the US-versions I know of supports the s3c-gadget module, sorry.
Or are there any other apps like it that I could use?

You could use Wifi-based apps such as Samba Fileshare. It's easier to use since you don't actually have to plug the phone in the computer.

Here's a thread for the AT&T S3 on Mass Storage, requires some tinkering though.

that sucks for them, easy UMS is pretty awesome
Yep. It's probably not that hard to implement but not being a kernel hackers myself I honestly don't know (I always need at least 2-3 attempts to even compile a configured/patched kernel right for my freaking servers... I'm wondering when the data center techniciens are gonna get annoyed at my requests for a KVM/IP every other day on the test server *g*)

I would really like to get my wired 360 controller working via an OTG cable (I'm using a supported kernel) however I haven't found a way as of yet. Has anyone done this successfully on this device? Also I've gotten a reccomendation from the kernel dev to try a powered USB hub, but I'm not keen on buying one if it won't help at all... Anyone?

Thanks for the advice, however I've already seen that article and followed it to a T (not much to do). As I plug in the unit initially I get a single flash on the controller and then it goes blank. Isn't recognized by my emulators OR the USB/BT joycenter app. Again, I think I may need more power to the controller (powered hub)...

Got my powered hub today....no luck : / So I will just assume non bluetooth gamepads will not work with this device. O well!
Starting to get antsy about this again.... Thinking about posting a bounty for a method to get this working. Anyone had success as of yet?
I thought that meanbean has this working? Try it on that ROM, or search that specific thread. I remember there being discussion in that thread about this...

Yeah, that was with the elemental x kernel which has the 360 controller support. It had the module installed but it still never worked. Regardless of that it is a great ROM, however I have since moved on to Sharkie ROM.
