Googler's idea for implementing USB Mass Storage on N7 without rooting

Brian Swetland proposes this app idea for USB Mass Storage on the N7, even without rooting. Thoughts from the devs?
More links and discussion on his G+ post. Excuse the hack job on the G+url, new member and such: plus[dot]google[dot]com/u/0/116035013937554489222/posts/KiqFpDpDWto

I see a some grumbling about the Nexus 7 (and Galaxy Nexus) not supporting USB Mass Storage devices (thumb drives, etc). Want to make some friends by writing a fun app? Use the USB Host APIs, implement USB Mass Storage (basicly SCSI over USB bulk -- pretty simple encapsulation), and FAT/FAT32 in a standard Android app and make it available via market. No need for "rooting" for this to work.

I have gone and read the thread on Gplus but I still don't understand this!

Homemade dock...

Found this on the RAZR forum and was wondering if it would work on the d4 of course with the ports in a different position...

Umm, are the RAZR and DROID4 ports the same? I plugged my 4 into the lapdock at Verizon that was made for the RAZR and it worked just fine. So I am guessing this would work for the 4, just wouldn't sit flush.

Droid 4:

I made it... it didn't launch the dock modes as I wanted so I bought the HD dock and the HD dock station... in the process of making one that acts as a dock not just a otg type USB hub... and I meant the ports on the side rather than the top...

I had that once when I used a 3rd-party charging cable. I think it wasn't passing enough power. If you're not already and you have them lying around, you could try using a Touchstone or the original cable. (I would not buy a Touchstone just to try.)

That happens to me all the time when my touchpad dies and I need to charge it but at this point it will only charge will the oem charger. Also it will take a long time to charge and turn back on

Use a TOUCHSTONE charger.

Really simple just leave on oem charger for 4> and it will turn on, or any charger that produces 2 amps and 5.x volts

my english is bad

OTG is not supported out of the box by the SGS.
There are workarounds that needs a custom Kernel. and a cable that'll use an external power source. I haven't tried them though. Try looking for threads in the development section.

I want to use OTG without external power. I could not find kernel support without an external power

there is no way to connect usb without external power source

exaclty...no way...you need a usb hub or a y usb cable (2 males and 1 female) connect 1 male to your otg the other to a power source (usb charger) and the usb device (usb mass storage, controller,whatever) goes into the female.
You also need the free app "usb host controller" and a kernel that supports host functions (semaphore for example)

[Q] Using PC internet connection

Hi,

If you are ROOTED try this

I have tried to connect Huawei Power-Fi E8221 through USB OTG but it doesn't recognise it just gives power to device
Personally I suggest you that you should buy small usb wifi adapter for your PC and share internet through it by using software like MyPublicWiFi

This feature you are asking is called Reverse Tethering. It is still under development AND requires root.
This so might help you.

Just buy USB mini wireless adapter.
It's only $4 and free shipping.
It can work as an AP access point and you can share you internet connection from desktop.
Plug it in and you are ready to go.
