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.

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?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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

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.

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.
Searching inside in xda forum i find that USB OTG cable working in SGS II....
Anyone knows maybe we can have one of this working in our phone ????
It will be very helpfull for my daily work....
link with video....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070573
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

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.

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.

No kernel for the US-versions I know of supports the s3c-gadget module, sorry.

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.

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 am pretty new to all of this, so I apologize ahead of time if this is posted elsewhere (though I didn't see it).
I was wondering if there is a kernel floating around that enables USB OTG on the rezound. I am running Newts One xxx with s-off, but will definitely flash to a different ROM if needed.
Thanks so much for any info.

I am actually running that kernel with Newts One xxx. It works great but I still don't have usb otg host capabilities. I have also tried the overclock v1.4.0 and same thing. Phone works fine but no usb host. Am I don't something wrong?
Did you try using a powered USB hub. On Sebastianfm's thread for the Sensation, he says that you need power, because the sensation won't provide power. I've tried getting this to work as well with no luck, but I don't have a USB hub to try.

Yep, it requires a power hub because the micro output was never designed for OTG USB.

Ok, got the power hub and still no go. I have all the hardware I need and the supporting kernel. So you maybe need a certain Rom to utilize it?

Are there any roms available or in the works with otg at this time? I see the kernels have it, but not in the change logs of the roms. Sense or aosp it doesn't matter at this point.

Hey all, first of all thanks for the site and anyone that clicks on this thread! Hopefully I can get an answer, I dont want my phone to be showed up by a galaxy s3!
I cannot for the life of me quite get USB host to work on this phone! I'm pretty new to ROM's/ Flashing ETC but I think I have a decent understanding of it....
I am S-Off
I currently have meanrom
after meanrom I flashed AwesomeSauce Kernel: (link omitted, idk if you guys like outside links)
And I am unable to get USB Host to work. Currently when I plug something in (my canon camera, thumb drive) it tells me Unable to charge device, power adapter blah blah. like its trying to charge off it.
Also the program "Usb host controller" which I have seen referenced a lot errors out when trying to find info about my devices USB host.
I have also looked at Komodo Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873824
but this requires a JB Mod (right? jb kernel jb mod?) and I haven't found a JB mod I like yet (but honestly, between the two, i'll give up sense)
Anyone care to help me take a step in the right direction! Thanks :highfive:
bamp
Heard it doesn't work stock, but also haven't heard of a rom that redelivers functionality. Good question.
Bump for interest.
Have you tried this app? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588979
I know it works on both kernels. I've tested with flash drives and mice never a camera though. Also could it be your cable? I bought a really cheap one under a buck off amazon and a lot of the reviews on the cheap cable say they are flakey. I just use mine to test for functionality for the kernel.

I have not tried that app, i'll give it a shot in a little bit, I've been working on trying to get Paranoid Android flashed w/your Komodo Kernel but for some reason it wont boot.
I know its not the cable, as I have plugged the cable into my friends galaxy S3 and it connected immediatly

Unfortunatly this app didn't work, I restored my meanrom install, installed busybox (smart install) then installed the .apk, when I plug in a flash drive and click "mount" it says no drives found
Is that plugged directly into the host cable or plugged into a powered usb hub?

I see. I'll have to pick up a powered hub tomorrow. I have tried a few things around the house (including an external HDD with its own power source) and nothing is working.
If the hdd powered isn't working then I don't think a hub will help

that was my thought as well. I have 2 USB host "diagnostic" programs and neither show USB Host mode enabled.
Do I need to flash a kernel in the same boot as a rom? (use TWRP to flash rom, and queue the kernel zip as well)? I'm quite at a loss. Perhaps if I can get paranoid android with komodo working i'll do better in that.
