Hey guys!
Now before we begin!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
This modification comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! MUHAHAHAHA!
Joking aside, this may or may not break your device. I can't even guarantee it will work on devices I haven't tested it on yet.
----------------------------------------------------------
Requirements
Procedure
There you go! HOST mode enabled on your device!
Frequently Asked Questions!
What is USB Host Mode?
When your Android-powered device is in USB host mode, it acts as the USB host, powers the bus, and enumerates connected USB devices. USB host mode is supported in Android 3.1 and higher
Is it different from OTG?
No. It is part of what constitutes OTG.
Why do I need this Fix then?
Custom ROMs compiled for our device DO NOT contain permissions for USB Host Mode. However they do contain permissions for USB Accessory Mode (Crudely devices which not have an independent power source like flash drives and mice). OTG works with Accessory mode but your device will fail to identify Host mode devices.
This fix will enable Host mode and your device will be able to communicate with Host Mode devices (Devices with independent power source like External Hard Disk, DSLR Cameras in my case ).
Can I include this in my ROM?
Yes you can, provided that you mention it later.
