how to add usb host to htc kernels - Android

hello
i know htc phones don't have internal power for usb host so all i say below is use cable or hub with external power like usb y cable
have some question about add usb host to htc vivid (know little info about unpack,repack kernels and very little programming)
can add usb host to custom sense based kernel ?
this can work on sense rom ? or only AOSP ?
only kernel must be change or rom must change too ?
and primary question : how can i do this ? have any module to add to kernel or must change kernel files manually ?

USB host?

Hi everyone,
I'm a proud Legend owner, but I'm thinking in change my phone soon (but not yet). Anyway, I was thnking if I can give my phone a new live connecting it to a hard drive, so I can build a webserver, filesharing or whatever with almost no power consumption.
However, I found that is necessary for the kernel to allow USB Host mode for it. Newer android versions support it, but for everyone else I've found this http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/, there's a port even for G1.
Anyone with enought skills for porting it to legend?
usb otg works on thc legend
Hello
I compiled the kernel (ver 2.6.35) for htc legend and applied the Sven Killing's ehci usb host hack. I connected an usb mice and an usb keyboard, and both worked. I changed an some points the kernel source (like Kconfig and etc.) if somebody needs i can upload it.
You need an external power supply for the connected devices, and hacked an homemade usb micro host cable like this:

It works fine, I didn't tested mass storage, but i think it would work.
Could you upload your compiled kernel?
Hello people,

[Q] OTG USB Hub with custom firmwareb

Hello. I'm installing archlinux-arm onto sgs2 and have one problem, which I don't yet understand.
When I connect two flash drives through usb hub to otg connect, phone sees them both.
When I run archlinux with kernel compiled from cyanogenmod hor light and simple, flash drives work when connected directly to otg. But phone doesn't see hub nor flash drives, when hub is connected.
Is there something I need to tweak in kernel config or from userland?

Enabling USB otg USB Ethernet gadget in kernel

Im trying to build a kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-i437, and I notice that there is no option for g_ether in the kernel drivers under
the menu simply isn't there. Can I grab the related files from another kernel and use them?
Code:
Device Drivers --->
USB support --->
USB Gadget Support --->
<m> Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support)
Am I right to assume that I also have to use, The hacks to msm_otg.c, to use externally-powered OTG devices? Located here?

Kernel with USB Host support

I'm just one step before USB OTG, I miss only the Kernel.
There is any recent kernel with USB Host support for CyanogenMod 11?
