Sony Xperia S - Force Host mode without OTG cable.

---

I have this simple requirement where I want to force the USB to host mode (OTG mode) without having to use a OTG enabled USB cable. I tried the app, but it keeps on waiting and ultimately I need to force close it.

I want to use the standard cable provided with the phone for charging the phone with a male to female gender changer.

I do not want to root my phone either. Is it possible to force the phone to OTG mode?

No.

Motorola XOOM MZ604 Rooted 4.0.4

When trying to mount: No such file or directory


I created folder on mnt/sdcard directory to have permissions to write but still same message.

It's works for me after I created mnt/emmc folder manually.

thanks mate

Reporting working USB controller on HD2 SD ICS build with newest USB Host patch. Mounting USB disk works nicely.

Works on Moto Xoom? 4.0.4 ?

Works perfectly on Galaxy Nexus with AOKP m5. Waiting on NTFS support. Will definitely donate then! Thanks for your efforts

What does this app do exactly?

My phone Sony ericcson xperia mini pro supports USB otg. I have tried it with mouse, pendrive, USB keyboard and USB gamepad without analog.

Yesterday I bought a USB gamepad with analog and it doesn't worked. I got the message in notification bar saying the USB is using too much power please unplug the USB and something like that.

I thought this app can fix that ^^

This looks like a very interesting application. Over in the HTC One X section a bundle of people are looking forward to being able from use otg /host mode. Do you know if this application could be of heeklp with trouble shooting or whatnot? currently some of the kernels enable otg /host, but it does not function.

Galaxy Nexus S3C USB Host driver not found

---

I’m new to Android, so I apologize in advance if I’m overlooking something fundamental.
I'm running Android 4.0.4 CyanogenMod Ver 9-20120614-NIGHTLY-toro on a Galaxy Nexus.
I downloaded and installed USB HOST.
When I start it says “S3C USB Host driver not found”.
I’m assuming that my OS does not/did not include this driver.
When I look at your posts on xdadevelopers ([KERNEL][ICS-CM9 or JVU] USB Host mode (OTG) driver for SGS i9000 [BUILD 5]) it seems you include this driver in a kernel that you have written???
Being from the Windows world it does not make sense to replace the kernel of my OS when I only need a driver. (assuming that is the problem/why I’m seeing S3C USB Host driver not found error)
Is there any way to load only the driver or do I need to replace the kernel of my OS with your kernel?


On another note regarding power out the USB port. (I have seen quite a few references to enabling power out the US port in this thread)
Before I found USB Host, I first found/tried a app called “Stick Mount” users many there claim to only use a OTG cable with their devices and make no mention of an eternal USB hub to provide power…so it would appear that they are getting power the port/pin 1/somewhere??
So maybe the makers of Stick Mount have solved the power out of the USB port problem???

Anyway I have a compact flash card that I’m trying to read using my USB port of my Galaxy Nexus he but I’m first testing with a thumb drive.
If I could get this to work on my phone it would be heaven.
