I think it should exert less stress on the flakey USB port.

pfff, who needs those adapters from the store. When you can get this beauty. </sarcasm>
I had an old motherboard lying around, so I just un-soldered the double-connector and joined parallel connections.

I can tell you with great certainty that it works, as I've used it already to connect up a thumb drive. It doesn't stress the connector much with light-weight things like thumb drives. Not bad for under $2 shipped (though it will take a couple weeks, unless you happen to live in/near China. )Great job on this to everyone that's worked on this, both directly and indirectly! This was in the top 5 for things I really wanted the N900 to do, and the last one to show up. But it was so worth the wait!

Question to the creators of this mod: Is it possible to turn on host-mode, but without 5V, so, for example, to be able to inject power from wallcharger?

Hello, I have a question, I have Titan's version 44 power kernel installed. How would I go about getting the hostmode-gui running? When I try to install it from terminal, it has other custom kernel and kernel-flasher dependencies. Would this mess up my already installed Titan's kernel?
Thanks
Thanks

I have the annoying habit to frequently edit forum posts to add new facts and details, rather than quoting the whole original post starting the topic, just to add a few words. So an occasional re-read of the whole thread might be worth it. This also holds true for drive-by askers who think it's easier to push out their question rather than going through the whole thread to see if it's maybe got answered previously. Those random duplicate questions just add to the length of the thread for nothing, thus making it even more annoying for others to read up from beginning.

I've found the phone WILL die if you still have a powered peripheral connected after turning off VBUS, which is not a pleasant sign in itself.

It's just the whole musb-core gets confused with vbus applied when it shouldn't, so we have some issues with switching speeds, entering/leaving hostmode, *not* entering peripheral mode, etc. Also, as we need to stop bme, there's not charging during hostmode for now. All this doesn't mean you could break anything - you CAN NOT, as long as you're not using overvoltaged external PSU or other obviously rogue evil crap
I said "enjoy hostmode" - I meant it like that :-) Don't worry!

For runtime, and to tell apart different versions of hostmode API, the hostmode-version= patch is still recommended. Mohammad's GUI will test for that (at least I hope I talked him into doing so :-D)
cheers
