So Im about to order nexus7, but the storage capacity bothers me a bit. Would it be possible to use this cable for example: (it doesnt let me post a link but... search "SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG(On-The-Go) Cable Adapter" on AMAZON.com)
to plug my usb flash drive into nexus7 or any other android device with micro usb. Would it work? is there any file explorer that could detect that drive and work with it normaly?
I think it would be a perfect solution for that limited storage.

Yes it will work. Its called USB OTG. You will however need to be rooted and install an app from the market (can't remember what its called). There's a really good guide on it in the nexus 7 section.

Yeah not all devices support the feature that's why you have to root the nexus. If it didn't work at all what would be the reason for the USB to micro USB wire? Anyways I hear what your saying

Thats just not posible, the hardware doesnt support it.
i had requested some devs to look into usb-host thing...
its kernel related and can be worked out but will need time...
hopefully you'll make it work!
That's the only thing which is better on my nokia c7
I saw somewhere that someone got usb host working with the x10, but you needed a powered usb hub for it to work, as the x10 doesn't power its usb port. I can't remember the thread though.

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 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*)

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?

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.

I'm gonna ask the obvious question here: Are you plugging your phone directly into a USB port i.e. not through a hub? Preferably one in the back of the motherboard. Highly suggest that it be one that was originally meant for your keyboard/mouse. On my motherboard, I find that cell phones work best for adb/fastboot when plugged into a "pink" USB port as opposed to a blue USB3.0 or normal USB2.0
EDIT: Oh, you're on a laptop. I got nothin' then, sorry mate. I'm going to leave my post up just in case some one else wanders in here.

Not fastboot as in the command line interface.
Fast Boot under Power Management inside Android OS--it basically puts the phone into superdeep hibernate mode instead of turning it off when you push the Power Off button.
Oh okay he did say fastboot as in the command interface.

Deff did that, toobox just says waiting for device and I am in fastboot usb already
Just upgraded from Razr Maxx HD to the Samsung S4 and am currently on the VRUAME7 version.
I want to be able to plug my s4 into the mini USB running from my radio deck in my car. I have rooted the phone. I have formatted my microSD card to FAT32 to be recognized by the deck. Now the only trouble I am having is getting the phone into Mass Storage mode. Is there any possibility to get this working currently? I have tried a few apps with no avail. I would really appreciate any input on this situation! I really do not want to use the AUX option.
Thanks in advanced!
Hmmm.... don't newer phones go into MTP or whatever? Your deck may not recognize it because of that. It was a PIA getting dolphin to recognize my GNex in fedora because if it.

Yes, that is my understanding of the newer Google phones. Maybe I am just out of luck until more development comes along for the newest OTA.
There is an app in the play store which tries to address this. Can't recall the name right now but I ran across it a couple weeks back. Since I don't need it I can say anything more about it but you might search there.

"SG USB Mass Storage Enabler" (can't post links because im a newb here)
This might be what you are thinking of? Unfortunately it says it is not supported on my version of the S4.
Do you have another plug in for your CD player? Like aux in? If you do than that would probably be the only way to do it as of right now. Only thing is it won't charge your phone but hey the gs4 has great battery life.

Yes, but as I mentioned in my original post I would rather not use the AUX. I specifically posted this in regards to playing through USB and in search of a way. I may have to do it, but I do not want to.

That's the one. Too bad about the compatibility problem. Looks like he has it on his radar. You might want to get in touch with the developer.
