About Usb Host Controller

Shows enumerated usb devices, and allows you to mount external mass storage devices to the filesystem. Supports advanced features like the ability to reload partition tables and reseting USB devices. It can also control the USB Host functionality of S5PC210 devices (Galaxy S, Nexus S, and Samsung Captivate) if they have been updated with the appropriate kernel patch.

The application does not use the USB Host API, so it can also run on older, 2.3 devices. Because of that however almost all functionality (except for the listing of USB devices) requires root (superuser) access, and a recent version of busybox installed! Also note that on newer Android versions, some security enhancements may also hinder this application to run properly.

The application needs a device that has USB Host (or USB OTG) functionality. Most modern high-end devices have this ability. Check the documentation and specification of your device (this functionality is usually called USB OTG or USB Host)

If your device doesn't have native USB OTG functionality, there are kernel patches for some older devices to enable the functionality, most notably for:

- S5PC210 (Hummingbird) based Samsung phones (Galaxy S, Captivate, Nexus S)
- QSD8250 (Snapdragon) based HTC phones (G1, Nexus One, Desire, Incredible)

You can find appropriate kernel drivers for these phones here:
- Hummingbird / Samsung phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450298
- Snapdragon / HTC phones: http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

Note that these drivers might require skills to install, and may damage your phone and void your warranty!

I wanted to use afterglow controller with the otg cable. All I get is reset device ? So pressed it and nothing happened. Apart from the fact that there is no instructions I don't know what the he'll this thing is meant to be doing if it isn't a host driver.

Finally found an app that can take my htc out of host mode!!!! Now I am able to charge my phone regularly, for some reason my phone activated host mode and I was unable to charge it only when it was turned off and it would take more than 8 hours to charge

What is up with the please wait message? It looks like it would be working fine otherwise drivers are all there it says usb host controller active. What is wrong? Get at me please! Android 4.1.2? Samsung sph m830

Am I supposed to run the app when I'm connected? Is that why the, "Please Wait," message won't go away?

Always "please wait" msg

It erroneously tries to mount /dev/sdXN when it needs to work with /dev/block/sdXN (e.g., /dev/block/sda2 ). The mount points are totally configurable, which is great, but since the device paths aren't, this isn't as useful. Still, just bring up a terminal, and use info gleaned from inside this app in your mount(8) command. Enabling ADB over Wi-Fi is nice. dmesg doesn't work for me, but I'm guessing this is because I don't have a dmesg(8) in my PATH. I really like the rescan partition table fn.

I was having issues where a usb drive was no longer being recognised by my tv box. No idea why. In desperation I tried this app,hit reset device and it's recognised it again. No idea what was wrong or why this worked, but it did. Saved me a lot of heartache!

Stop the bad reviews.. Old phones cannot do this because it cannot power the USB device by itself only phones from 2012 can tablets I have no idea

Too slow... Takes too much time on startup while showing message " Please Wait" but after loading, works good.
