Why? Do you've any explainable reason?

We don't have USB host mode support
Herpderp Defy.

Is the USB host just an hardware limit? Is it Possible to install a custom ROM that gives a software support to fix that ?

No usb host support ?
USB host should be possible but it seems that nowhere in the world did ever make a kernel patch to that !?

If you have posted the apk of a paid app then that is warez which is NOT allowed on xda forums. You are ripping off the work of developers if you just post sh*t without permission.
The freeware, open source and free, solution is "Android Reverse Tethering 2.30".
That program has a client (apk on phone) and server (program for windows) which allows you to surf the web while connected to ur PC.
EDIT: Works for OFFICIAL LG GB and Froyo but not Zeus (i have tried!!!!!)
@FunkyGanja
Official GB has USB tethering option? I don't rembember. If yes than it would be nice to have it in Zeus...
You can also find it in cm7. Go to settings--> wifi --> hotspot. There is a setting to do it. I think it should also be there in zeus rom...

USB tethering is totally dependant on the ROM and LG doesn't natively support it in any of their OB roms. It is one of the things (like HDMI output) that LG hasn't built into our phones.
HTC natively supports USB tethering in SOME of their phones but other than that I'm not sure anybody else does.
Btw, nooby we are talking about USB reverse tethering where you access the Internet via the USB cable through ur pc.
Wifi tethering is what ur talking about where u use ur phone to supply Internet via Wifi.

Hi, just I tried to help him what I can help, nothing but other thing..
As u said I went on to link and it is only for rooted users only, (also there is option for non-rooted phones), but it is waste of time 3 hours for me..not worked..
If u know the procedure to work for non-rooted phones, send the link and help..
Saying words is easy than working..
I've tried the "The freeware, open source and free, solution is "Android Reverse Tethering 2.30".". It didn't work.

CMIIW, but CM7 does have it in Wifi/Tethering Options. There is an option called: USB Tethering...
I think we mean the same thing, maybe you should just try CM7

It didn't work for me when I was using zeus but it worked on the stock ROM. The developer says that the compatibility of the app is dependant on the kernel of the ROM. Since heuxxx has tweaked the ROM so well, I'm sure that something has been lost in the process. It worked for me on stock ROM and CM7 based Mokee OS.

Yeah I didn't realise that CM7 natively supported usb tethering until I tried out boypes CM7 the other day. My apologies.
But mind you, I did say that it was totally dependant on the ROM.
On another note, why don't you just buy a wifi router and use that to access the Internet? There few limitations with USB tethering which wifi doesn't have. Plus they are dirt cheap atm. I just got mine for $50

Maybe because the devices need more power than our mini can give.

Yes cm10 supports otg . You can connect external storage (eg. pen drive , not so hungry memory card readers etc). You can also connect external hard drives but you would need a powered hub in between . All the best .
What kind of cable do you use?

Because USB OTG is not supported by Samsung on this device. Only Novafusion's ROMs have it at the moment, but it's still in beta.

Our hardware support USB OTG but not the kernel you have to use a kernel that have USB OTG support

It's not due to recovery, OTG is a kernel option, if it's not working then you have to either enable it in custom kernel or use a powered cable.

OTG ethernet and camera

Hello,
I hve p8lite - ale-l21 - with stock rom. Is there any chance to get working OTG here?
I would like to use USB ethernet adapter if thats possible
Also i have bought small camera on ebay - I really need it for preview purposes. Is that possible to use?
I have heard about problems with power on other devices. I also have bought cable with another usb plug for power feed.
But I see in app that there is no support OTG. How can I enable it?
regards
I tried to connect mobile HDD, mouse, even pendrive, all with external charger but it never worked. P8 Lite doesn't support OTG.
No one has managed to enable it during last 2,5 year, so I guess it's impossible.
ah, thank you for your reply
Do you know any other device where OTG would be work OK ? I would like to have portable network-diagnosis set (ping, tracert, etc basic tools) in pocket...
I also have BT keyboard.
There is no otg on p8 lite ale. No hardware suport, means no power supply through usb and is disabled in kernel.

There are a lot of phones that support OTG. Just check any phone spec sites, they usually tell you if a phone supports OTG.

It's actually enabled it Kernel. It's disabled in System software. You can flash the P8 Lite ROM with P8 Lite Kernel on Honor 4C and enable it in systemsoftware and it will work fine. My sister has one and I did that.

Yes!
I think is possible to use it but with a Y usb cale.
P8 lite doesn't power up on plug
.
Ah, it looks very optimistic.
You have stated that it needs Y cable - which I have had ordered in last weeks.
So, is there any chance to have OTG working when connecting with another power source with the OTG cable?
I have stock ROM - latest one - with root.
Should I change this, or maybe trying on this one?
