I'm using the galaxy nexus with AOKP and Franco.kernel. Is there a way to mount it as USB mass storage instead of MTP? I heard about a special kernel which has that option.
I also heard it's possible to connect other USB Sticks to the galaxy nexus like this. What kind of cable would I need to do that?
1) You'd need to partition the device into separate media storage to use UMS. Just use MTP, it's not as bad as you think (and better in ways you wouldn't think of).
2) USB OTG (On The Go).
How's it better?
The only reason I don't like it is because I can't use TeraCopy (copies files faster on Win7 or any Windows OS actually, great improvement over the stock) and I'm forced to use the Win Folder Explorer one. Its not too much of an issue, but copies over files significantly slower.

On OSX MTP doesn't work at all so having it as a mass storage device would be a lot better. Is there some kind of guide which shows how to do that?

Off the top of my head:
Less chances of data loss and corruption for those who do not unmount before removing the cable.
More consistent read/write times.
Ext4 vs. Fat32.
There are cons as well.

Some Linux apps may have native mtp support, but Linux as a whole does not.
Different distributions may include mtp support, but as a whole, GNU/Linux does not support mtp natively.

Well looks like there's a way to mount as MTP in OSX in the OS itself so supposedly it will act like USB mass storage did.
This is great news because I always used rsync on Mac to backup my phone and restore it keeping all the dates correct, etc.
I haven't tried but it seems you have to download and compile all the dependencies so it's not very straightforward but all the info is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643757
Go to Settings--->Storage--->Menu--->USB Computer Connection. USB Mass Storage might not be clickable so plug your phone into your computer and then click it. That should work.
As for the cable that allows other USB Devices to the phone, it's called a USB Host Cable. Micro USB Connector on one side and a USB 2.0 port. I have one. It cost like $3.

Use a different cable.
In my case, my win7 computer would crash every time I tried transferring files. It turned out it was the cord. I had been using an older microusb cord and for whatever reason it didn't like it.
Used a different/newer microusb cord and voila, it worked!

Use Droid NAS
If you are using OS X, you can mount your Android devices as NAS over the network by using Droid NAS from Play Store.
In that case, you do not need to plug your device into your Mac via USB, just open Droid NAS and it will appear in Finder.
The weak point is that the transfer speed is depended on your network connection if your WiFi network is fast enough it is fine.
However, you can also connect it through network via network over USB Debug Mode
but in this case using Android File Transfer from Android's website is better.
The truth is this kind of phones should have an improved MTP feature, emulating more or less old mass storage mode.
I think I'm running into the same problem as the OP but with my new truck (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152702). My truck doesn't recognize that my phone is connected and won't allow my to play music from my phone through my stereo. Does anyone have a suggestion on what exactly I can do, special cable, MOD, kernel?

I've read a lot of threads here showing interest in these topics, and to my mind, their incorporation into a ppc would take the devices to another level of functionality - laptop replacement for many users.
I am investigating using an xda2i with backpack, and using the Twinparadox Solar Express host usb CF card.
I know that wm2003 does not support mass storage devices, and my best bet is to use the DeJe MSD driver for wm2003
Where it gets interesting is that I recently emailed Twin Paradox, and although their website has been pretty inactive, I got a response by email with an intended release date of July 2005. This would be a different device from that shown on the web site, however. It would be a single host usb port on a CF card, usb 1.0 under wm 2003 but, under wm2005, it will be USB 2.0
so my question: Does anyone have any knowledge/ideas/hunches as to whether wm2005 will support MSDs?

Out of curiosity, what backpack expansion pack are you using? I am wondering what expansion packs are compatible with the Blue Angel. I read somewhere here that http://www.directmobileaccessories.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=930 this one is compatible with the BA even though it says xda II
Not bought it yet - trying to make sure that everything will play nicely with each other before spending loads of dosh. But I believe that there is just one model of backpack, which works for both the 2 and the 2i (Himalaya and Andes) I don't believe there is a backpack which will work with the Blue Angel (2s)
Certainly, I'm planning on using the Xda IIi Backpack - AHTXDAVN (for £89.99)

Yep, that's the idea.
From the twin paradox site, and through email, I'm pretty confident of getting the host usb up and running, when (and its a big when) they release the second generation card. (the website is woefully out of date, btw.) As far as I know, the first generation 2port card as shown on the website never saw the light of day.
Here's the information they give on the drivers supported by wm2003. I don't know if the SE goes any further?
The following USB Class drivers are now included in Windows Mobile 2003.
USB HID Class
USB HID class driver
usbhid.dll
Windows CE.NET 4.2

USB Printer Class
USB Printer class driver
usbprn.dll
Windows CE.NET 4.2
(Supports)
USB Storage Class
USB Mass Storage class driver
usbmsc.dll
Windows CE.NET 4.2
(Supports)
Note: USB Hub support is part of the Windows CE.NET 4.2 operating system core.
WINDOWS MOBILE 2003 USB CLASS DRIVERS
USB HID (Human Interface Devices) Class – has robust support in the Windows CE.NET 4.2 O.S. This class driver supports a range of keyboards and mice from such companies as Logitech and Microsoft.
USB Printer Class – There is some level of support for printing within Windows CE.NET 4.2. SolarExpress PDA supports Printer Class devices, where an appropriate USB printer driver exists for the Windows Mobile 2003 environment. There are some printer drivers available under Windows CE.NET 4.2.
The figure below shows how Windows CE.NET 4.2 supports a USB Printer device.

USB Mass Storage Class – Windows CE.NET 4.2 supports FAT file format devices. USB Flash Hard drives and USB Hard drives support this type of file format. This class driver will support the majority of USB mass storage peripheral devices in the marketplace today. SolarExpress PDA currently supports only this type of file format.
Some specific examples of USB peripherals supported by SolarExpress PDA are:
Canon's USB BJC-85 printer
http://www.usa.canon.com/html/index1.jsp
Iogear's USB Hub
www.iogear.com
Iomega's USB bus powered Zip 100 drive
http://www.iomega.com/na/products/product_family.jsp
Maxtor's USB external hard drive
http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/external/onetouch/index.htm
Memory Experts' USB Flash Hard drives

Microsoft's USB Hub\Keyboard combo and Mouse
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/default.mspx
Olympus D-510 Zoom
http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_digital_dseries.asp
The above list is not all inclusive as to the number of USB peripherals devices that SolarExpress PDA supports. It is merely to show that SolarExpress PDA supports the Windows Mobile 2003 USB class drivers.
USB DIGITAL STILL CAMERAS
USB Digital Still Cameras come in several types of protocols.
The two commonly used types are:
Mass Storage compliant – These are the Digital Still Camera protocols that are supported by SolarExpress PDA. (Olympus D- 500 Zoom series)
Still Image Class – This class uses Picture Transport Protocol (PTP) on top of Mass Storage to exchange data. PTP is similar to mass storage, but there are differences. SolarExpress does not support these types of Digital Still Cameras.
(Cannon Power Shot S400)

I'm painfully aware of the potential for incompatibility, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I bite the bullet and spend money! I hope if I can get a definitive list of the wm2003 drivers I can ask precise compatibility questions to the peripherals manufacturers (msds, keyboards et al.)
If anyone can direct me to a more definitive list of usb drivers under wm2003/ 2003se, I'd be grateful.

when you can plug in other usb devices into the desire z and use the desire z to manage those usb devices.
Count me in the brigade who would love to know if the Vision/G2/Desire Z can in fact do USB Host--I know the feature was supposedly introduced in the 2.3.4 builds CyanogenMod is based on, but it'd be interesting to know if the Vision can do it
(And as others have noted--USB Host is basically where you can plug in a "USB client" device (like a USB hub or mouse or whatever) into the Android and have the Android control said device--just the same as if you plugged it into a regular computer such as a PC or a Macintosh or Linux box.)
(Right now, Androids can be "USB Clients"--that's how plugging in your Android to a PC and turning USB storage on makes your PC think the Android is a hard drive. Theoretically, with USB Host you could plug an Android into another Android and set up a similar connection, among other things.)
(In my case, this is of Rather High Interest because--if an Android phone CAN do USB Host (at least running higher versions of Gingerbread)...this opens up a world of possibilities in regards to amateur radio applications. In particular, at least one SDR radio combination with its own integral sound-card and capability for USB control could be VERY usable; this also opens up things a lot for folks using computer keyers, PSK31, and the like. Yes, if USB Host is possible...it could be possible for a G2 to be essentially a Morse Code keyboard or even a full control dock for radios.
(This also opens up some real possibilities for scanner radio control; in the Bad Old Days of PalmOS and Windows Mobile, there were tools for programming and controlling Uniden scanner radios using the serial port interfaces and adapters to a conventional RS232 serial connector. Most of those radios--and most smartphones and palmtops--have long ago abandoned serial connections for straight USB, and I'll admit that IS one of the VERY few things I do still miss from PalmOS and WinMo phones.)
This is cool. So how is the news regarding this?

Want to let you know that, as my first android development project, I'm going to try this. It shouldn't be very difficult, but I can't promise you anyhing. So don't read this like, we'll have usb host on dz, more like someone will try to port it. Now I'm trying to set up everything, I haven't been using Linux for much time, so, if there's anything I'll let you know in a week or so. This doesn't mean usb host in a week .
Anyway it's not yet possible to have a kernel both host and client.
All we need is 3.1 to be able to acceess android.hardware.usb...
In client accessory mode back-ported to 2.3.4 (my current version) you have to power the usb bus so no good for what i want...
I've seen some roms with 3.0 but none with 3.1 - am I wrong?
If anyone finds a 3.1 rom for g2/dz please PM me :-/
Thanks
If I take for example the tablet fly touch 3, it has 2 usb 2.0 hub with android 2.2.
I just start searching about this subjet, but it might be possible?

On 18/10/2011 we'll have at least some infos about ice cream sandwich, I think we'll have usb host in it, mostly because it will unify phones and tablets, but it may need to be implemented specifically for every phone. So let's wait some week till we see the first cyanos, or every other rom featuring 2.4 (4.0)
hi, is there any update on that?
actualy im using cyanogenmod 7 (android 2.3.7 - kernel 2.6.35.14) on my desire z..
ordered that "Micro-B USB HOST OTG Cable" from amazon and had the same in mind like oVeRdOsE with the thumb-drive connected to that samsung phone..
but when i hook up the cable (without any devices attached) some car-mode/app starts...
ive had a look in dmesg but i cant see a drive(-definition) there, just some messages about some car-kit plugged in.
(dmesg doesnt output anything when i connect some device to the cable)
isnt it possible like under linux to add usb-host to kernel-configuration and recompile?
somewhere on another forum ive read that this shall be possible with icecream? but on another site ive read that is only available for tablets?
there are even apks (for other phones) which allow usb-host control but when i tried them on my desire z the market-app told me that isnt compatible with my phone ?!
edit: see Nexus One USB host mode driver
and there are even nice videos on youtube:
USB host mode on the HTC Desire
Nexus One USB host mode
pity i didnt manage to boot the kernel, the dz hangs at boot with the htc logo - tried android/cyanogenmod kernels from github with the config from my actual running kernel
i didnt figure out where to get the kernel-bootlog output to see an error and know whats wrong ..
bump , would love to see this happen!

It worked for me using Windows XP.
The first time it did not work for me and I looked around and found some people thought their stock cable was the problem. I thought I'd have to go buy a new one, no biggie.
Today I opted to charge my phone while working and lo and behold I had success! I copied files back and forth, no problem. Same cable, same computer.
Try again?
There was no real difference between the two attempts. The first time I opened up 'Internal Storage' it was blank, any drag and drop was met with the invalid cursor. I refreshed, nothing. The next day, after the laptop was asleep, no problems.
There's an old app called XNJB for Mac OS X
I found an app today via Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol
Its called XNJB - it's amazing that it actually works (kind of), considering it was made for MP3 players years ago...
I'm going to keep looking at it- but already it has more (native) flexibility than that of Android File Transfer - keep in mind that that flexibility doesn't actually work (yet).
I can't believe that Android File Transfer is all they gave to Mac Users OTB - it's such crap, reminds me of the various Blackberry tools back in 2004.
What about FTP?
If you have Wi-Fi at home you can use the free, open source app File Expert.
It's a really great file explorer for android and has an option to turn your phone into an ftp server. If you're on Linux you can use filezilla or whatever to log into your phone and transfer files. I'm on windows and find the wireless transfer to be much more convenient than using a cable. Transfer speeds are great too.

There are 2 ways: one is to format the hard drive to fat32 filesystem, and the other is by downloading an app that lets your phone recognize NTFS file system. But before doing any of the above you have to make sure that the disks in your HD are spinning when connected to your phone. That way you know that its getting enough power.
wouldn't exFAT work better?
I have a small external ssd formatted as exFAT and it's immediately recognised without any mounting apps.
1 TB (USB 2.0 / 3.0) not mounting on Note 2
A simple question requiring a simple answer which probably noone except Dorji has been able to answer somewhat properly...
How can a 1 Terabyte External Hard Disk Drive be mounted on a note2, whether rooted or otherwise. And Bushako, please be specific in your replies. They are no much help !!
Here is what i did - It worked
I found this old thread (no help) so i worked it out and here is what i did.
I have a rooted Note 2, an Apacer OTG cable, a WD Elements 1TB NTFS USB 3 2.5" external HDD.
I installed USB OTG Helper app from play store (free)
I installed ES File Explorer
ran USB OTG Helper app, approved root access, mounted the drive
went to ES file explorer (this took a while to find) the drive is under /storage /UsbOtgDrives/drive_1
and there you go
Warning - it will suck your battery dry quite quickly, need to find a way to charge at the same time. Smart dock may be better for this.
Hi,
Here is what I personally use to connect my Seagate 1 TB expansion.

I used to conect a samsung 160 gb external hard disk in my note 2 . but now it doesnt work,, its like the old android versions or kernels gave more voltage to the hard disk to work, new kernel and android doesnt make the external disk to work. Dont know why, dont know how to make the NOTE 2 to give more power to external disks.. i think there must be a voltage tuner or something inside kernel features. Any ideas??
Will someone please share the working mount path?
Hey guys, wrote a simple widget to toggle between UMS and MTP USB modes. Simply install apk, add widget, grant root, then profit.
ADB and all other functions still work, however, internal SD is not accessible. Will work on trying to have either MTP, UMS, or both (external SD as UMS, internal as MTP) options.
UPDATE: 9-14-13
- Now you can have the External mounted as UMS as well as MTP, and also have the internal mounted as MTP. Just keep tapping the widget till it says "MTP/UMS"
- Remembers what you had set after reboot, and applies it.
Don't forget that thanks button

Okay so i got both MTP mode and UMS mode working at the same time. Question for you guys, would you want the EXTERNAL sd card to be accessible via MTP while in this mode or no? Meaning, you will have your standard removable disk drive and the SGH-M919 > SD Card path accessibile, or would you want the SGH-M919 > SD Card path non accessible?
Both accessible for me!

Yea this is awesome! Haven't found too many apps/widgets that I like, but this thing has saved me in my car with bluetooth only alpine cde-133bt. Jacked my bluetooth settings trying update and usb mode is/was ios only compatible. Granted there is aux, but the audio quality between usb and bluetooth is noticeably better.
If only the was a way to clone the way ios is hosted by device. It can access playlists etc etc. Android can only access files and folders. But I can confirm that it works with a 64 GB card on both car stereo and ps3.
Thanks so much this works like a charm!!

Hello,
Would it be possible to make one with the widget 1x1? 2x2 is huge on the home space!

It's resizeable. So long as your launcher supports it. If not I can.

okay i am on the international galaxy s4 running cyanogen mod and used to have the USB Mass Storage Enabler but your widget is amazing. I can listen to music on my SD Card and still be able to mount it on the computer not sure how you accomplished it.
What is not working is the combined UMS/MTP. Only the MTP portion of that works. The drive does not become visible.
anyway, good work! Just felt like leaving some feedback and thank you for your work
This is great. I need something like this for a looong time. Now I can finally use my phone as a flash drive for my xbox/ps3 again. it cant read the default usb settings and mttp
I guess I'm confused as to what he means in the op. With this widget set to ums/mtp, my internal AND external cards will show up on my pc? I don't see why anyone wouldn't want the option to access both, I guess...

With ums/mtp mode, external is seen on your computer as a removable disk. While the internal sd card is seen as a media device.

Are the files/folders still accessible though, even though it's a media device?

Works great, nice tool. Thanx so much.
this is great. if the widget can be reduced to 1x1 it would be nice, and also the UMS/MTP mode is not correctly working for me... in this setting it works as MTP for both external card and internal storage. Any idea why is this happening?
