is there any way we could get a usb host kernel as they do for the desire, desire HD and nexus?

this is the most complete one i found.
in this kernel you are not able to use the USB for normal functions such as ADB and sd card mounting to the PC. however a work around for copying files is SwiFTP app. it allows you to connect to your phone via wifi by mapping your device as a network drive!

I'm on Cyanogenmod nightly 52 and simply can't connect my phone to my computer : / When I plug it into the usb-port and active file transfer from the drop-down menu the computer still does not recognize the phone or the memory card. I've installed the united mobile driver (or whatever the name was..), do I need to install anything else or...? Help appreciated!
EDIT: the usb file transfer works flawlessly with for example other Froyo based roms
The file system is organized differently on cm7, in relation to stock I think.
Do you have an external sd in the phone? If yes, where are all of your files kept, in int or ext?

Is there any way to connect via usb as normal rather than as MTP on the NOTE. On MY SGS II I can connect the USB cable, and then from the drop down menu just select connect via USB and bingo both cards appear
I've looked in settings for USB connection but all i can find is the choice to swtich between MTP and PTP.
Which rom are you on ?
@Galaxy Note™…
why do you want to use uass storage mode? MTP is better in my opinion
Mass storage mode is quicker, so better if you are transferring large files.
I leave it as MTP most of the time though as you can still use the phone and access the files on the phone (except when you transfer a file and then it has to do a scan again).
If you are on GB, go into Settings>Applications>Development and enable USB debugging. It will then connect in mass storage mode.
If you are in ICS, Settings>More>USB Utilities>Connect storage to PC
how much faster? personally, safe removing the device in windows, and stopping of sd dependent applications cause too much trouble.
i usually use samba to copy files. which is even slower

Hi
Would like to know if, when you try to access your data stored on the external SD via MTP, you can see all of your files ?
(Using Windows)
This MTP thing is a real mess for me, I can never have the full access to my files. With the Razr i I only have 2 folders with some media files when I open the device with Windows explorer... there should be a plenty of folders and I don't know why I don't see them and how I can see them!
Tks
PS: even with the internat storage I don't have full access. for example, if I create a zip file with some file explorer on the phone, it never show on the MTP device!
Give me back UMS !
That's normal, MTP is a very special mode, so you can't modify files or see some files..
But I don't understand why there isn't an usb mass storage when the phone is connect ?

I would love to have the answer
@ this time: no UMS on the Razr i ...
Then use PTP, it maps /sdcard and /external1 to your computer, you can clearly access them via a normal file manager.
PTP is worst ... it's made only for pictures!
There is no USB Massstorage from 4.0 upwards cause google decided to remove this feature....
ptp is made for pictures but it also can be used for normal files but mtp is prefered....
i am on ubuntu and after a nice little tutorial i am mounting my phone via mtp and i can modify and see everything, its mounted as usb would...
havent tried to see the external card because its ext4 formatted and running arch linux so

I know Google decided to remove ums on the stock Android. But it's not on obligation and constructor have all right to put it if they want.
BTW, I saw same screenshot of a razr vd or a razr maxx which has ums!
I'm running Windows and use Total Commander. There is a great plugin "totalanddroid" that gives me access to all my files (SDcard and internal memory). It uses adb and runs with USB connection or Wifi connection. I tried to find some adb explorer that runs without Total Commander, but none of them is really working on my machine. But maybe you'll have a bit more luck (my phone is not yet rooted, sometimes this seems to be a prerequisite).
NICE

thanks mate, never knew about this plugin. very nice!
Thanks for the workaround.
I'll use this until we have anoher solution as UMS support throught custom rom.
So I've installed Mackay ROM 2.91 of kasper_h. It works like a bliss ( i'm new so I cannot post in development section ) till some time.
When I plugged in usb cable to my mobile and pc it showed on P970 to mountSDcard and then it popped in on my pc BUT later on it failed to do so. Now I can only mount my SDcard via card adapter or in recovery mode it shows removable disk but do not open it but if I press mount USB mass storage device it open my sdCard on my pc))
SO WHAT THE HELL, why isn't it mounting while using my phone in normal way, connected to PC? but only in recovery lol...
Anyone got the very same issue?
I've found androidforums. com /desire-tips-tricks/365476-guide-usb-brick-fix. html but do not know if it is good solution for it and even if I do not understand it at all>.>.
Go to settings/storage, press menu and select USB connection. There are 3 diferent types, mtp, camera and mass storage. Try the others.
I was trying the new version of stickmount to see if I could use it to mount my ntfs drive and was trying out workarounds when I came across a post recommending the use of usb host fix. I ran the app, restarted as directed and voila! Now nothing shows up when I connect my otg cable. I've tried my fat32 hdd which was working fine and a card reader and nothing!
I'd moved from 4.1.2 to the stock german 4.3 rom on my rooted I9305 and paragon's ntfs app would no longer mount my drive so I decided I'd check to see if there was anything else I could do before wiping 900gb's of data and formatting it to fat32. Now I wish I had!
I've contacted the dev and tried chainfire's usb diagnostic app as well as usb host controller - which stated S3C usb host driver not found.
Please let me know your suggestions as I desperately need to be able to connect via my otg cable - my phone has taken the place of my netbook when i travel so that I can backup my photo's and transfer music and movies from my hdd's to the phone. I'm heading out to South America and REALLY need this function back!
