sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/ This method enables you to host usb devices from your Nexus 1. Is it possible do this on Evo also?
Looks like it might only be for Froyo, but then again not sure.
He writes it should work for 2.1 but even for Froyo (custom ROM ) it would be great
I am working on a few custom roms right now but when I'm done with that I'm gonna start working on some kernels including this exact feature.
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A
my question is "does the hardware of the evo support usb host mode?" I know the evo shares a lot with the nexus one and other current gen htc phones so I'm hoping so.
BUMP!
omg please... anyone have the gear to try this... i guess im gonna have to take some stuff apart..

If/when you are ready, let me now. I have keen interest in this.
Here's what I know:
1) The EVO has no power supply to power the USB device (so you will need a powered hub or cable hack).
2) HTC loves to (seemingly) use the fifth pin as a way to know that the car charging dock is in use so there is a strong possibility that auto-sensing a USB host cable will not work; it will have to be entered via software in some other way. It could be that this switch is actually HTC's own software running and detecting it; I've never dug in enough to know.
3) The Snapdragon processor has the hardware to support USB host and there is a project that Qualcomm has to support the features of their processors witih Android which is (presumably?) where these drivers came from: https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/
I'm willing to support such a project with my (limited) knowledge and cash. Let me know who's interested

I have the micro-usb to female OTG cable on it's way, and a powered usb hub that i'm gonna hack. from there, as long as the kernel has support and there are modules to load...

I've done this. There is no built-in support on Android 2.1 or 2.2 from HTC on the EVO. At least no support for flash media. We will need to add the driver from here (or something similar):
HTC HD2 Kernel with support for USB Host. Same processor and probably similar internals, too. I don't have to the time to get up-to-speed on downloading/building/deploying kernels (and I'm not rooted, yet, on the EVO). I have an HD2 and I might try their stuff on that as it looks like it's "done" so I can see how well it works (or not).
Just got the cable today. Checking out these links and trying things now...
thanks for the pointers. I'm running cyanogen nightly 8-1... so far, i get:
D/Tethering( 102): interfaceAdded :usb0
from logcat when i plug my hacked (routed dc+ voltage from a nearby
+5v pin to the upstream cable red wire) powered usb hub into this OTG cable.
The EVO charges when i have it all plugged in as well...

What's on the other end of the cable? Just the hub? The "D/Tethering" message probably shows up with nothing connected at all (did you see that or try that?) I suspect that's a listener on usb0 to see if a host is plugged in to allow tethering with the phone.
Was there any progress / update on this after you plugged into the USB hub? Have you tried it with anything else?

Kinda in the same boat here. I lost a lot of steam after my last post. I did the hardware part no prob but just hit a wall with the rest. And since flashing CM6 final I can't adb or even charge the EVO unless i have the micro usb otg cable plugged into a male-to-male usb extension plugged into AC adapter. Gonna flash back to another ROM to make sure it's just software related, but I really don't wanna lose my wiimote and apple wireless keyboard compatibility.

just curious as to the status of usb hosting on the HTC EVO.
well i'll say this
IF it is supported in froyo natively
you dont need to make a custom hacked usb host cable
you can buy a motorola host adapter for micro-usb made for the new motorola es400 which supports usb host operation.

Not quite that simple.
There is no power supplied from the EVO so you will, at a minimum, have to supply a powered USB hub or a self-powered device, and you will also need the low-level driver to turn on the USB hsot support in the Snapdragon processor.
looking for info on the evo shift...if anyone happens to have any info or leads.
thanks
New development on Motorola Droid

This would be so cool and useful if someone gets this working good on the Evo
Looks like they have this working on the Desire HD:

It's a similar device to the Evo, so maybe there is hope for the Evo to get it?
Hi I am new to this forum and i just purchased and unlocked my Optimus G. Now I'm looking into a OTG cable that may work on this phone as the sprint version, as you all know, does not support Micro SD cards for extra data storage. Now i know they have wireless HDD's that you can carry to store information and Bluetooth keyboards and mice that you can connect to the phone out of the box. But i had External HDD drives that are not wireless and a Wireless keyboard/mouse USB combo all that i would like to run on the phone at a cheap rate. I have read some places that OTG is possibly not capable on this phone. Can anyone verify that this is not possible. Again i am very tech savy and my phone is rooted and unlocked, so if all i need to do is change a kernel or install some files i can definately figure out how to do that. Can anyone clarify this for me and if it is possible put links to cables and tuts on how to do this? i couldn't necessarily find it when i was looking on XDA earlier, and its the only site i really trust for information about my phone.
"USB host", or what is commonly referred to as OTG, is not supported on this device. I'm not sure of the usb controller so I cannot say as to whether or not this is a hardware or software limitation. Either way, I consider this a serious shortcoming, especially on a flagship device.
I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Well if that is the case, can anyone verify if this is not possible because of the software or hardware. If it is because of the software is anyone trying to develop anything for this right now? Thanks again for the verification^

the nexus 4 "doesnt support otg" yet people have modified a kernel to add the feature in. the device does NOT support 5v so you will need to power the hard drive or w/e with external power using a y-cable.
if we have the same usb controller as the nexus 4 then i would assume we'd have to do the exact same thing... custom kernel + y cable for external power. so try and get some kernel devs together and work on on getting that project started for the LS970 device if you really wanna see it happen.

I built in USB host and USB otg support and a art user reported it wasn't working. However I can through up a 3.4 kernel if someone has the cable and power to test it.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
If u send me a link to a y cable i will purchase one if that's what's needed. What are the risks to updating to this kernel you mention?....^ somebody on the other thread that was posted here said we have a more complete usb host package than nexus 4. I think he was the thread creator. When i get home ill qoute his post.

That's up to your kernel devs. I outlined everything required for the N4 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38906771&postcount=2
That said, I once took a look at the kernel files for the Optimus G and it looks like the code for otg/host mode is far more complete than that of the N4. I'm curious if it's able to read the ID pin in its current state..

This is what they had to say on the other forum so far. I don't know any dev's, but if any of you are reading this it sounds like there is a lot of Source Code developed for this already on the Nexus 4. If anyone reading this knows someone capable of doing this if you could forward it to them, because I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like OTG or "USB Host" be available for this phone.
I guess nobody has tried to work this yet? I still haven't seen any kind of development.

Surprising, really. I'm a little butthurt about it. But I'm more than happy to hotwire the 5 volt lead on my OTG cable upto an external power supply for testing if anyone has some mad keyboard skillz and wants to use my phone as a guinnea pig.

usb otg support on LG optimus g 970
I am running an Optimus G 970 and I was attempting to gain support of an external USB DAC called "HiFimediy Sabre".
My first project is to attempt to gain some usb otg functionality.
I created a cable to test since the native 5vdc power out function is not there.
I used my computer to power the cable with 5vdc which was verified by the phone "slow charging".
I ran the "usb host diagnostics". This is a diagnostic tool and it looks at the functionality of the usb port.
Note the following.
1. Phone is rooted.
2. Phone is running all stock software and firmware.
I was asked to reboot to apply a firmware fix by the app after allowing it rooted access.
The app was run one more time following the instructions on the screen and plugging in my pny 16gb usb drive.
It was not able to connect.
I received the following unique code: 188704.
I will follow up when I know more.

is there any way to use usb otg on galaxy tab 3 7.0
Not working yet, but I am working on it now. All wiring is correct internally but the otg phy driver defaults to dock mode. Omce I patch it you will lose dock mode but gain otg.

No problem, I should have it fully going in the next week or so as time permits me. USB OTG is pretty much a requirement for my final goals and i doubt anyone will miss the dock feature. So far my kernel recognizes devices via lsusb and prints vendor info but it might need changes in the rom as well which im gonna tackle now.
Wishing You Success

I know for a fact that officially the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 does not support USB OTG via the official Samsung Firmware for the device. But I think you guys could get it to work if you use a custom ROM for the device.
This tablet really disappointed me.
The chipset supports USB host:

I do not have a mainboard for the T110 to work on the kernel or to trace out the layout as I did on the T217. Officially the T217 has no a stripped down set of drivers and its alot of coding to trace the board layout to each GPIO, then get the GPIO numbers, write a shim kernel module to activate host(im hoping to do away with this when I am done), then link it into the ROM itself.....its not an easy task as you can tell.
PS: for the record I will not touch PXA devices lol, hate me or not I just do not like the PXA.

Greetings and good morning everyone,
I have a more or less urgent question regarding the FireTV dongle's ability to use wired connections using an OTG adapter with an ethernet adapter attached to it.
Is this possible or does it require to root and modify the device?
Because mine is running the typical stock firmware provided by Amazon.
Unfortunately WiFi is so weak over in another room so I hope to find an answer to this.
Hope anyone can help.
Kind regards,
bootflop.
As far as I can remember it does work but only on rooted first gen sticks, but I think OTG support works out of the box with the new sticks.

Hi,
I have two issues right now:
1. I bought an Lg G8s locally from a shop and got the model g810ra, now it won't update or get any updates past November patch.
Can I manually update or flash a stock rom?
Still under warranty btw.
2. I have a power delivery charger, tried 2 cables type c to type c and none of which the phone will fast charge.
Is this normal?
The cables work, tried on a Samsung A70 I think it was and my Nokia 7+, both fast charge.
If I use an adpater female type c to usb type A with the pd cable the phone fast charges, on a regular type A port of course.
What I really want to make sure is if my phone has some sort of defect so I can carry it back and get it repaired or replaced.
Thanks in advance anyone who can assist.

The fast charge is wierd - it has hardware support but apparently lg disabled all of it. It charges fastest when completely powered off. Maybe you can cross flash with lgup or just flash the latest kdz of that model

Also November patch is not very old, and it might be the latest update for your model as of now. And lg traditionally only does the security patches without new features, so it's not particularly important that you update anyway
