Whether useful for mobile like galaxy Note of SII

To my opinion, This application is useless if you use Samsung Galaxy Note or SII type of mobile. These mobile already have provision to use USB OTG cable. I've Galaxy note and USB OTG cable and I can see USB contents without using this application.

I believe this application is useless for such users.

hi Zsolt, I checked your github to see if the host driver code was open sourced and I couldn't find any. I was wondering if you could make this available, or possibly post some of the critical code to enable/disable the host mode, etc. I am looking to wrap this in to an application I am writing.

The driver code for the S5PV210/S5PC110 is open source (there is a link to it in the first post). The application is not, but that only enumerates the /sys directory and runs mount and busybox commands anyway.

Cube U9GT2 USB host controller issues

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping to solve a problem here, I just purchased a Cube U9GT2 Tablet 9.7

running: Android ICS 4.0.3 with a Kernel Version:3.0.8+.

With a build number: rk29sdk-eng4.03 IML74K eng-yangyun.20120108.124417 test-keys.

It came with an OTG/USB Cable and has both a USB and a USB/OTG port.

Let me just state this, I have tested all cables, ports and jump drives and have reformatted them to fat32, they were Fat32 also.

The problem I'm having is ICS can't see any jump drives I hook up to it. I installed a program from the Market called, USB Host Ctrlr. It ran a info check after install, and here is what it said:USB Host Controller Version Number:0.42 S3C USB Host Driver NOT Found! Root Hub Present. USB Host Mode is active.

I'm no developer or even a decent novas, but with decent instructions I can execute. Any ideas how to fix this, The price was Killer, when one is buying from a Chinese Company, the support is pretty limiting when you only speak English.

That's why the great price, I'm not complaining, I just want to get this resolved if possible.

Can't mount USB/OTG jump drives:

It says: USB Host Controller Version #0.42

S3c USB Host driver NOT found!

Root Hub present. USB Host mode is active!

HELP!
[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
The lack of S3C controller only means you don't have an S3C based USB host. This is not an error. The next line clearly says that you have USB host enabled.

After you plug in the external device, what can you see inside the "USB" tab?

USB Audio support

+1

I really need USB Audio support for my SGSII and Fiio E7. The Fiio E7 has an option to disable USB power completely, so that shouldn't be an issue. I've read someone got it to work on a hacked Nook. The Yamaha audio chip in the SGSII sucks, and there is no line out to bypass it, so USB Audio is the only possible option for audiophile quality sound.

USB Audio support

After reading some more about the SGSII and USB Audio it seems like it *might* not even be possible, is that true?? What about when ICS becomes available for the SGSII? Are the SGSII OTG hardware limitations going to completely prevent basic 44.1kHz/16-bit USB DAC support even with ICS?

Works great out of the box for the att sgs2 i777 running cm7. So I am sure it works the same with the i9100 international sgs2. So it is not a limitation on the original sgs2 or att version, I would think the same would go for the sprint sgs2 version. The T-Mobile version may be different though and the att skyrocket would be different I am sure also since those two use a different processor as compared to the i9100, i777, and sprint version. (Sorry not sure which version the t989 is).

[Android Apps and Games] 01010001:
T989 is the T-Mobile version, almost exactly identical to AT&T's Skyrocket (in fact kernels and ROMs are interchangeable between the two). OTG support is working fine, I can hook up a keyboard with no issues. It's just USB Audio support. The Fiio E7 is driverless and has an option to disable USB power completely, so it's perfect for this purpose. If we could just get the dang thing to work we'd have an audiophile-quality music player.

Thanks a bunch for all the work sztupy! I remember I read somewhere (now I can't find it), that you chose to not use the Android/Google APIs for USB host functionality, as it would limit the supported devices to 4.0+. But, have you tried using them? I tried today to get a list of USB devices using the Android APIs, but I kept getting an empty list. I'm not sure if it's because it "knows" my device does not support USB host mode, or if I'm doing something wrong. Anyways, I'm going to keep trying but I was just curious if you had gotten the native APIs to work.

The native API's do not yet work on the SGS and variants using my kernel, but that is a small bug I've already fixed, but not yet released.

I tried this app in my Xperia Pro (stock everything, 2.34, rooted) and it worked nicely, except for this:

I had to manually make the folders I had set in the app to be able to mount anything but, after that, mounting my devices was fine.

Also, the "please wait" message stays there for a long time, but as soon as text appears behind the "please wait" message, if I change the screen orientation, the message disappears and I can use the app.

Finally, my phone detects a couple card readers I have but, I cannot mount them, that is until I connect one (any) USB hub, after that I can mount my card readers.

Yes it is, I just did it. To use a hard drive, I had to use external power though. Also, have in mind the card reader issue I mentioned.

Ok so, it seems the app doesn't really work in the Xperia Pro, at least not by itself. I had the USB STORAGE MANAGER installed the first time I tried Usb Host Controller 0.44, and everything worked according to my previous post. Since I found a nice replacement to USB STORAGE MANAGER, I uninstalled it. I rebooted my phone and, the next time I used Usb Host Controller 0.44, I could see the connected devices but, none of them were mountable.

Since Usb Host Controller 0.44 no longer worked, I installed USB STORAGE MANAGER again and, surprise, Usb Host Controller 0.44 was working fine again!

Is there anything I can do to help figure what's going on, and why is it dependent on USB STORAGE MANAGER (at least in my phone)

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???

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400034&highlight=power+pin+1
