Figured id start a new thread so the devs could look into this.. after all whyzor suggested it.. and if i posted in one of the build threads.. it would get buried so lets make this a helpful thread for all you kernel and devs out there in our community lets try to keep this up so it doesnt get buried it self.
Most devices with removable storage support Usb Host.. with ICS, things with internal storage do not I.E. Galaxy Nexus which is good for us as we have removable storage.
Now CM9 USB host is enabled per this thread for a HP touchpad:
CM9 - OTG USBCable Host support? - RootzWiki - Page 2
And if our device could use USB power that would be a + so you dont need a hub and or Y Cable but thats up to the kernel.. now Usb host should be fully possible as its not a hardware limitation but a kernel thing
Very amazing write up on Host mode for the galaxy S:
[KERNEL][ICS-CM9 or JVU] USB Host mode (OTG) driver for SGS i9000 [BUILD 5] - xda-developers
usb host controller app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=hu.sztupy.android.usbhostcontroller + info for snapdragon chipsets
Nexus One USB host mode driver
Mantera i know you and the others such as Yum Whyzor and Austrie are kernel masters so hopefully we can get this going..
I have ordered an OTG cable and am getting a Y-cable thanks to Marc
so i will be able to test changes or status if need be.. or im up to shipping the OTG cable to one of the devs for personal testing..
So here ya go whyzor heres my thread
