USB Host Mode for the Nexus One!!!

Ok, what is it?

In a nutshell, it allows you to use USB devices plugged into the Micro-USB port on the N1 (with an adapter).

Such as:

Mouse
Keyboard
Thumb Drive

Use your N1 as a Web Cam

The possibilities are almost endless!

I have ordered what I need to do this with my N1 and will update, but if you have questions, post on XDA or here and I can try and help!

Dumb question, does the phone need to be rooted?

I have not tried it yet, I am waiting for the cables, but from the looks of the software, it does appear to need to be rooted.

I will report back.

This might be the best reason to root your Nexus! If this requires rooting that is. I do hope not! Now your phone will be even more like a computer lol. I'd love to use my Nexus as a webcam

I added more details to my Nexus One Google Group:

Google Nexus One Owners | Google Groups

You will need root. You need to buy a couple cables. Lucky for me, I have some places locally that I was able to get the parts, now to just root and hook this up to my Keyboard, Mouse and 23" monitor and see how it goes.

Will have to wait until tomorrow, have to go see the kid today.

You can already use your N1 as a webcam, I use it as my main webcam all the time. Been released for like 4 months now too...free on top of that.

Two questions: would you need to root still? How?

Thank you for taking the time to post this

I would rather have a great bluetooth keyboard app (Not FreedomPro since they are overcharging a**holes).

I dont understand why android doesn't have bluetooth support for HID devices :thinking:

Can someone PLEASE come up with a suitable bluetooth keyboard driver for android?
