errrr, you detect a charger by vbus = 5V, you simply check the according sysnode that works independent of bme. You can not detect chargers (as in "detect fastcharger D+/- short") when using hostmode - the D lines are used for DATA then, and can't get shorted. For normal charging you resort to using bme which you start as soon as hostmode gets finished (just like it's done right now in H-E-N GUI).
