oke
we already talked about the Idea in the past,some where launch nexus s time.
but now seeing that the xoom has accomplished this,and the nexus one(some sort).
will there be any Dev brave enough to take this journey to code the hell out of it to use it on the nexus s?
any Dev here on the NS forums that has the knowledge to enlight us about this,if possible or not.and if so.
will there be any Dev taking the challenge?

I think I read somewhere that the GS2 has USB OTG functionality, so when I manage to get hold of the ROM and attempt my port I can see how it could be enabled. Not my area though, but I'm willing to help anyone that does know how.
Nexus One has it, and a custom kernel of the SGS also can enable it
we (Nexus S) seem to be the only ones falling behind in enabling the USB host functionality, that according to the guys working on the SGS seems tobe just commented out by Google during the build of the kernel
you can actually enable it in the code, and recompile a kernel with the support.
the only problem the team of SGS are having is finding a way to supply the 500mAh power to the port

hmm,in case of USB stick it would be needed yes(the power porting) but in case of HDD external.you could use a powersuplyd usb cable,or a external HDD with a AC power adapter(like the external HDD i have)

Why no one is interested in this implementation?
Ok...now the galaxy s2 also got this functionality by a custom kernel. I'm sure this is possible on our nexus s also....maybe someone can get in touch with the s2 dev and help us out it would be good

You may be quite right but then again if nexus one can do it via some hacks, I do believe that nexus s can also definitely Do it..

BackLight Notifier/Notifications
Basically to get around the fact that the phone has no LED alert, BLN (originally for the Galaxy S, but the same problem arises with the Nexus S) uses the phone's capacitive buttons as notification lights, flashing them like a normal LED. This is different to NoLED (a software based solution), as it requires a bit of hacking, as most phones do not have a way to control the capacitive buttons by default.

BACK LIGHT NOTIFICATION. its a subsitution for not having LED notifications. its built into the kernel so we'll see the dev will work with someone experienced that owns a nexus s. i hope.
Couldn't one of the google employees that post here point him in the right direction?
I'm sure they have access to any information he might need. After all, they are the ones developing the operating system for the phone. It would be in the spirit of openess
any progress with BLN??

As Decad3nce said earlier, this isn't the way to go about it. In the past our team of developers had said that WiMax is the furthest thing on their priority list for a reason, being that it is going to be hellish to do, just like MTD was hellish to do but MTD benefited us in a longer term than many understand now.
That being said you can't just buy your developers so they've an entitlement to get something done, if they decide to work on it they do, if not oh well. Perhaps you yourself can look into the issue and attempt it. And see exactly what it is which is making the topic of 4G such a disliked one. I don't mean to be rude but if it was really easy, or simple because another device has it, it would have been done already, it's been looked at forever, doesn't mean it'll happen. The EVO 4G's instance of it and ours are in no way the same story.

I wonder if the reversed engineered Linux driver for the Samsung CMC-730 chip called Madwimax will work for the Epic since it uses the CMC-730 Wimax chip? I know I saw some video of a guy running a "demo" of Madwimax on an Android 3.0 tab using a usb modem connected to the tab. Could it be modified to run on the Epic?

Because they actually worked on it... in no way was that a hit to the devs of epic cm7!!!! Trust me I know how tough it is to get it working. One of my friends worked on the evo cm7 and he said it was one of the most difficult things he has ever worked on... they spent a lot of time trying to get 4g working... its not an easy task and with wimax being a dying bread probably not worth their effort! I would love to see cm7 with 4g but it probably won't happen because it is more effort than it is worth!

Cool thanks. I hope this info gets to the right people. Since the Samsung Wimax driver source has already has been reversed engineered by Madwimax already, that hopefully will save time for the CM dev crew to figure it out. I am no developer so I know absolutely zero if it'll work or not. I just happened to stumble on this video a couple months back when I did a search for wimax and tablet on youtube while I was researching a tablet purchase for Black Friday. Oh the random things you find while just surfing.
Okay no sweat. Cyanogenmod 9 is more important. I love the great work they did on cyanogenmod 7 this ROM is fantastic.

This seems pretty obvious so I am sure you guys have thought about it ... but doesn't the Nexus S 4G have Wimax working in CM7? Doesn't it and our phones have virtually identical hardware? Is there a reason that you guys couldn't do whatever those guys did?
[KERNEL][ICS-CM9 or JVU] USB Host mode (OTG) driver for SGS i9000 [BUILD 4]
This thread is a good read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450298
So far its available for the i9000, Captivate, and the Nexus S.
He says this is what he needs to possibly port it to other devices -
The kernel source is avialable on github. It is either a kernel for gingerbread (>=2.6.35) or for ICS (>=3.0)
It also contains (or has links to) the initramfs and all the other files needed to create an update.
If creating the update is not straightforward I also need a script to do this for me
After the update is made I need someone with the device to test it for me. If the feedback is positive I'll build versions for that device too, whenever something is changed.
Discuss.

There is also a build for stock JVU (Gingerbread). It is possible to port this to older ROMs too (like CM7, or pre-GB ROMs). Ask your favourite kernel developer to do this for you. I only plan to support the CM9 and the stock Gingerbread version.

Th cable is just a mini to usb-A connector, they are pretty cheap. Right now I don't think you can plug a mouse and keyboard into the phone, but I have seen an example of using a usb dock. Usb dock with video out and wireless sixaxis/wiimote controllers combined with every availble console emulator hmmmmmm.....
I see that with a cable adapter, the Tab 10.1 can host USB (meaning you can plug common USB storage into it). Can the Tab 7 hardware do this?
Yes. there are good reasons to believe this, but the software is still work in progress.
With ICS, there will be USB host, the ICS roms in the dev section are showing a great deal of promise, so the short answer is; "Evenually, yes."
If developers still support us, we should be seeing it soon.
I've asked the same question on the ICS thread since the listed working features include USB host. However, not much people seem to actually have the adapter, so we don't have anyone who can test it.
I'd buy an adapter to try but if it doesn't work, I have no knowledge to help them make it work.
usb adapter
I have bought an adapter, it did not work. The tablet did not recognize the adapter or the usb stick. I waiting to find out there is driver which can be added or if there are any other options available.
