Figured I would ask this since I can not find anything anywhere for the X2 and the usb host mode. I found a really cool app in the market to control my canon t3i from the phone but I have to be able to turn on USB Host Mode. I can't find anything about it on the phone at all.
I am rooted using - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315711 - that thread but I am still using the stock ROM.
Do I need to put a different ROM on in order to do the USB Host Mode?
Is it even possible to turn it on?

PC mode possibly? could be debugginf mode? try all the modes we have if one works then there you go. I have never heard of USB host mode
Here is the link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202082 to the DSLR program I am talking about. Something about some phones can enable the USB host for communication between the phone and external devices while others cant.
I'm assuming you aren't sure how to enable USB Host mode? If that is correct, here is how to ensure it's enabled. This will work if you are on stock or a custom ROM (unless the custom ROM removed it which I doubt):
Click the Menu button and select Settings
Scroll down until you see Applications and select it
Select the Developer menu item in the Application settings menu you are currently in.
Ensure USB Debugging is checked. This is necessary and important.
After that, you can pull down the notification bar and you should see a "USB connection" option. You can select that and you'll get a new window with radio button choices. Mine has the following (running Eclipse 1.3):
PC Mode
USB Mass Storage
Phone as Modem
Charge Only
PC Mode allows you to access the SD Care from Windows and within ADB shell. In this mode, it allows access to what is on your internal and external SD card in the same window.
USB Mass Storage mode means that it will mount the internal and external SD cards as separate drives on your windows machine and your phone won't have access to them until you either disconnect the phone from the PC or else, go to a different USB mode.
Phone as Modem - I never use this but it allows you to use your phone as a modem for your PC. Ahh, the old days of modems. I remember running 300 baud. When I went to 1200 baud, I thought I was styling!
Charge Only - In this mode, it's only using the USB connection as a charger. You won't have access to the sd cards from within Windows, but they will be accessible from your phone.
It sounds like you want the "USB Mass Storage" mode from what you've stated.
Hopefully this helps.

First of all you need a kernel which has usb host mode enabled and a terminal.
You can check out this for information on USB OTG cables:http://tech2.in.com/how-to/accessor...sb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone/319982
As, Levprez has pointed out you will need a kernel (not a ROM!) with USB OTG support.
Once, you have USB OTG support (and it is enabled) you can plug a device into the normal usb connector on the USB OTG cable...if it works at all...it should detect and setup the device like normal.
I recently test OTG support on my DX2, and it appears to be working. (firmware is 4.5.1A-DTN-150-30, kernel is 2.6.32.9-00005-g2440aba)
To verify status of USB OTG support, check if /proc/config.gz (compessed configuration file used for building kernel that currently installed in device) has 'CONFIG_USB_TEGRA_OTG=y' in it. If so, your kernel supports otg mode.
However, in order to connect usb device to phone you need a special otg cable with support of external +5V power. Phone itself doesn't provide required power for connected devices, which may be bad - you need additional power source for usb devices - or good - while connecting other devices you can also charge phone from external source.
Initially supported various HIDs (keyboards, mice and some gamepads) and mass storage devices (flash drives, external hdds and such), though flash drives require manual mounting within scripts or terminal emulator and, obviously, require root. Alternatively, you can add other drivers (because it's linux and source code of kernel available) to support any device you need, for example drivers for other android device xD

hi please let me know if you figure this out? because i also have a droid x2 and a rebel t3i and have the same idea in mind! it works on my transformer prime, but that is too big to be useful on the go. I don't think too many devices support the usb host mode except very new ones?
Hi.
I have a USB OTG cable for my 7500 running latest CM9 nightly and keyboard & mouse works very well with it. When I connect a USB stick I get a notification that a device is connected but I can't access it in a file manager (it look like it is empty, but it's not...)
Is there something more I need to do to get this work?
Good question!
On stock rom filemanager pops up imidiatly after connect an usb pen drive, on ICS i only get it working with "Root Manager" a file manager that can see root of filesystem and let me browse through "\USBDRIVE" folder or "\MNT\USBDRIVE".
I've got it working with this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
Hey Folks,
I'm currently on OMNI Rom (Nightly) version 20140326, having this issue of USB Host driver missing.
I don't get a popup when I connect to any USB devices. I'm able to connect to USB flash drive, but unable to connect to my DSLR camera.
Previously I was on CM10 & had the same issue. I'm attaching the screenshot from the app, 'USB Host Controller' & from Phone status.
I checked with 'DSLR dashboard' app developer & this rom works fine for him. Appreciate your help to have this resolved.
Hey guys,
I installed the latest Remix onto a separate partition so I can dual-boot on my Windows 7 machine.
It seems to work fine, I guess. Detects my cheap little USB wifi adapter, at least. But it will not detect my Android phone when connected to PC via USB. Now I'm sure this is due to lack of Android-to-Android wired interface, and someone will probably recommend an OTG cable, but honestly, is there any way of forcing Remix OS to detect USB connection from an Android phone?
File transfer to pc (windows 10) doesn't work with android 11 based rom (Only sounds when connect usb cable to pc and click on file tranfer option in usb preference in phone but Device doesn't show in windows file explorer). When I select file transfer in usb preference. It doesn't work, but other option in usb preference like ptp, usb tethering, charging work.
I reverted back to android 10 and checked, it again worked. Then I again flashed this Rom but file transfer with usb doesn't work.
I think it is a problem or bug with android 11.
If any guy has it's solution, plz tell.

Had a similer issue with multiple A11 roms , but tried DotOS 5.2 based on A11 , and it works fine .
* charing speed is back to 1.4 A was 0.5 on Lineage OS .
* USB transfer works as usual .

- GPS is bad , not fixing at all
- drainage a little over 20% overnight
- a bit laggy for my taste.

~ recommended if u want A11, else stick with A10

stick with the gapps version for peace of mind
