No one did put a hd, a pen drive or a sd card adapter inside the fire?

they did - there are a lot of threads about that - but the kf don't have usb-host support - it will not work at the moment ...
But the usb-host is not only software? It's not just make a kernel?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
can't say for shure - i'm not a dev - but as i understood it's a matter of software (kernel) and the usb port of the kf is not powered
correct me someone if i'm wrong ...

It can be a good thing. I imagine this like we can use the USB port to connect mass storage drives.
"Only" thing needed for this is a generic Mass Storage driver from linux. If I'm right, every linux drivers can work with a modification with the Android system.

unless you're confident enough to ruin your device, no. things you need are:
-a BIOS
-a Tablet (not a galaxy phone)
-an ARM chipset
-a fat32/NTFS HDD Partition
-16 GB of HDD (average droid tablet only have 16gb. so why install?)
-and, the ability to choose boot location on booting up
androids do not have all of the above except the ARM thing. so no.
anyways it's still a dev preview not a fully-functional desktop/tablet OS. so don't treat it as such and thank me. even if it's not helping you (ungrateful bastard)
+thanks whore lol.

I realize you probably figured it out, but for anyone else that might be wondering if this works, it does. That's how I originally did it, but then I read you can download a program that uses your cd-rom as a USB drive of sorts for the ISO file and I did it that way for my old laptop. I forgot what it was called, but I found it by googling how to install the new developer's build.

Hey so I saw that they made a mod where you can jailbreak a ps3 through flashing the firmware on the phone or something ( I don't know it didn't work in the atrix) but my windows somehow locked my hard drive and I need command prompt to unlock. I was wondering is it possible to somehow put a live Ubuntu disc or a windows ISO( anything that's bootable) on my phone and bring my laprop back to life? I'm not able to burn any CD's right now. So yeah I think it'd be pretty cool if this is/can be possible. Or maybe some kind of webtop through usb that's able to boot off a laptop. I don't know. These are just idea that pop into my head. Not sure iftheyre possible CD

I was reading the manual, it talks about using the USB port for keyboard, mouse, etc, but not about USB sticks or external HDD. Can the N7 natively detect the USB stick and allow me to access its content? Or do I need a kernel with USB OTG + Terminal Emu command + an adapter?

You should learn how to search. There are few guides on USB OTG.

I have read them. What I don't understand is if this is native or a kernel hack.

Buy an OTG cable, and plug it in. Add peripheral of your choice. There have been hundreds of reports stating that the Nexus 7 does OTG natively. thats what he meant by "Search".

Put OTG in the Forum Search for Nexus Q&A topics and you get 109 threads. Most of them talking about obtaining an OTG cable and using StickMount which itself needs your device to be rooted.
Yes you will need to root and install stickmount before you can use a flash stick or card reader with the nexus.It will work fine with a mouse or keyboard stock but must be rooted for adding more storage.
I use an adapter cable for my Nexus 7, so I can plug in various USB stuff (Nexus 7 hosts the stuff).
I am quite happy with that, using keyboards, mice, external USB-drives etc.
My Q's are:
I was wondering a bit about the limits to this support and I guess it comes down to driver support on Android's behalf. I guess the peripherals I mention work on generic drivers/standards etc and is therefore supported as-is by the OS?
And in continuation of that thread: Would it be possible to add support for, say, a USB 3G dongle, would that require a custom driver or what?
Just an idea
