If you have the OTG yes. Just connect to phone and to USB Male-Male to HUB(Or if your HUB has USB cable included just connect it to OTG) and HUB to power.

@SebastianFM Which kernel options you've enabled for USB-OTG? Currently I've enabled CONFIG_SCSI, CONFIG_USB_STORAGE and CONFIG_USB_OTG_HOST. NTFS was already enabled. Do I need more? Also it would be nice if you could push your config to your repo.

Do you know that you can obtain config directly from kernel (/proc/config.gz)?

That would be an option for me if I had more down speed than GPRS.

You don't need any rare cables. Every USB OTG Adapter with Micro USB Male and USB A Female should work.
There are several ways to connect USB peripherals to USB OTG Adapter, I'll describe this later in more detail.

I found Micro USB Host OTG Cable With USB power which probably could replace both USB OTG Adapter and USB Y Cable.

I know that many of HTC Sensation owners already uses the USB OTG, please give some feedback to the others.

I'm still working on USB OTG. Next version of my kernel will support HID devices.
I succesfully connected at the same time: 250 GB USB HDD, 8 GB USB stick, USB mouse, Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with USB receiver using USB OTG Adapter and USB Hub with external power supply.

The cables used in the picture in the OP:
White cable: USB Y cable 2 Type A to mini 5
Black cable: USB cable 1 Female Type A to micro
Not sure this is spot on, but google this, you will get similar cables.

Wow that is awsome! These phones have faster processors than the PC I use in work!! If I could just work out how to connect an external screen I could replace the PC

I am thinking a hammer or mallet might be needed! This is awsome work Sebastian.

Excellent. HID support will be very welcome.

You'll save me £20 as I won't need to buy a PS3 controller, so expect a donation for a few beers once its released

We can`t use MHL when using a USB OTG, because both are using micro USB port. You will need an USB OTG cable with HDMI out.

Ok. After trying some things all i can say on ViperS is that USB works. 500 GB HDD don´t work and mouse don't work.

I added support for USB HID devices in Overclocked kernel v1.5.2, few minutes ago.

I test USB OTG on stock ROM, ViperS 1.1.0 and newest Virtuos Inquisition. There is no difference for me.
On ViperS 1.1.0 files from automatically mounted first FAT/FAT32 partition of USB storage won't be added to Media Library because this ROM is based on HTC Ville C2 ROM and it hasn't added /sdcard/usb directory to storage list. I sent PM to m0narx.

luis4ever · Aug 9, 2012 at 2:42 AM

USB is mounting on ViperS without the need of doing something else. If i plug USB on HUB i can see the images and the Music with native apps on Sense. Also DS3 is supported!!!

Quincux · Aug 9, 2012 at 4:07 AM

I I have a issue: when I connect USB hub and ac power on OTG adapter , the screen go crazy!
