Please, I want to know which kernel and custom roms which allow me to connect a USB OTG, I am with kernel Siyah 3.4.1 and two ROMs: Hydra and Resurrection Remix (in dual boot) and I can not connect pen drive in S2 he does not recognize.
I have to configure anything else? Or this kernel, these ROMs are not compatible with USB OTG?
I appreciate the help.
Siyah supports full OTG (mouse, keyboard, pendrives formatted in FAT/FAT32/NTFS). Problem is probably in your ROMs.

Still same problem: USB OTG does not recognize pen drive.
I reinstalled the ROM (Resurrection Remix 2.6.1) and the problems remains.
I need help.
Hello, could you solve it?

I have the Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset and i would like to use it with my SGS3 running Temasek's unofficial CM10 rom.
I tried using a OTG-cable and plugged in the the USB adapter that comes with the headset but no sound seems to go through.
When i connect the USB and turn on the headset, i am able to control the volume with the wheel on the side of the headset but i can't play sound.
I ticked on "use usb dock audio" in advanced settings but still, no sound.
What can i do to get sound through?
What am i doing wrong?
I am willing to change ROM or Kernel to get this to work, if possible.
I have a friend who got a g930 to work on his sgs3.
Thanks in advance.
If you are using custom kernel than there is an option ENABLE OR DISABLE PRIVACY MOD in sound section of kernel settings that might be the problem...
I'm afraid i have no idea what you are talking about.
I checked in setting>sound and there was no such option.
Am i looking the wrong place?
Sorry for being a noob

You're talking about boeffla kernel which is not compatible with CyanogenMods.

Then there's your problem. Like I said boeffla kernel is NOT compatible with cyanogemod so yes you better change it. You're quite lucky your device isn't bootlooping.
"Note: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
Also do NOT install it on any Samsung 4.2.x based Roms!!! You will just get a boot loop!!!"

Upon browsing temasek's thread I see that he is indeed using a boeffla kernel but from what I can understand there is he's modifying it for it to be compatible so he made minor adjustments. I just don't know if he is still using boeffla kernel 2.x or the 3.x branch. You can however use the default kernel provided in the OP of temasek's thread and see if that can fix your problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797109
EDIT:
Your still on 10.1 when temasek's rom is already on 10.2
Download links for the 10.1 kernel are still available on the thread of temasek.
no you do not have the boeffla kernel installed (which is for stock sammy) but you have temasek kernel with boeffla sound (it's an important difference ) so the kernel is just fine for cm10.2
I think it is not possible to use a wireless headset (which is not based on bluetooth) on android, because there are no compatible drivers. I had a similiar idea: i tried to connect my external usb sound card with usb otg. on cm10.1 i was able to hear sound through it, but I was never able to switch on the optical out of the soundcard because the driver was missing. Now on cm10.2 I am even not able to hear any music with it. maybe just for a test you could try a cm10.1 based rom, because there I personally had the best results with music through otg
Edit: sorry i saw your post to late (I am really to slow in writing )
Edit2: @ OP: which rom does your friend with the g930 use?
Edit3: last one: I think the option with privacy mode is in the boeffla sound config app (sorry I cannot check it, because I do not use this kernel anymore)

I am not sure what ROM he is using. And i also have no means of finding out.
I tried the privacy mode and it does nothing. I don't think it recognizes the headset because it is not plugged in the minijack

Yes flash 4.4.2 stock firmware without flashing gpt.bin file.
Yes, you can unlock Qualcomm settings.
Step 1 - install a custom android launcher, such as nova or apex.
Step 2 - long press on the home screen and popup appears, and click on add shortcuts. Shortcuts>activities>com.Qualcomm.settings>Qualcomm settings.
Whenever you connect your otg go to Qualcomm settings and click on enable otg or otg mode peripheral, and also switch on mass storage mode.

CONFIRMED!
OTG works on stock 4.4.2 using external powered usb hub, there is no mouse/keyboard detection but sucefully load my usb flash drive using the "Nexus Media Importer" app from playstore.
This means, Moto E has USB Host Support from hardware! The only limitation is in newest softwares/kernels!

Some Android device does not support any type of usb connections, like most of LG phones, these devices haven't otg drivers, XML permissions, mount partitions and kernell support, but in hardware i think the only limitation is the 5V power supply, and yes, you're right, mounting usb sticks through ext powered usb hub isn't otg support like moto g and x, is only a simple USB Host support

Hi all,
I am using Moto E 2015[XT1521] 4G variant with CM 12.1-20160104-NIGHTLY, unlike the stock lollipop ROM there is no option to mount OTG drives.
There are some scenarios of the problem :
1. Some other Moto E 2015 4G variants(e.g. XT 1524 & some other XT15XX models) claims to have OTG support with CM 12.1 by usuing ES file explorer or Chainfire Stickmount .
2. Some guys in the forum saying that it lacks OTG support but The stock ROM of this model supports OTG.
The Solutions I've Tried :
1. ES file explorer : nothing happens
2. Chainfire Stickmount : nothing happens
3. I have used some custom kernel (e.g. Squid Kernel): nothing happens
till now I'm facing the problem. Please Help !!!!

* make sure its formatted with FAT32 as it only supports FAT32
To support OTG, the device needs a 5V amplifying booster. No version of Moto E have that booster. That's why a pendrive through OTG is not detected. But if you can supply an outside source of power to the OTG device, then your phone can mount it. This is according to @squid2

I think it depends on the ROM and kernel you use. I'm on the latest RR update with the squid kernel r14 and I have OTG. On most other roms I couldn't get any OTG things working.

Thank you for the information. but I am searching otg support for CM.
Apparently using a otg y cable solves the problem. This enables to add the charger to other point thus giving it the proper power.
Can anyone tell me if OTG will work on a stock XT1528 if I add external power?
I just tried it on my Boost Mobile XT1526 running CM12.1 and it works fine with a normal OTG cable. My USB flash drives and a USB mouse I have work fine.
I have to mount it manually with terminal though. I can't find anything in the Play store that'll mount it except for two file managers, which isn't ideal. Because I'd rather use the CyanogenMod file manager.
I tried using normal Mounters from the Play store but they didn't do squat.

You are right, the stock ROM can mount it perfect without a external power source. CyanogenMod can to. I've done it a couple times now, by mounting it manually with a terminal app.
You need a rooted phone for this, CyanogenMod is already rooted.
Open a terminal app, doesn't matter which one. I use the terminal app that's built into CyanogenMod. Type this into the terminal app, pressing enter after each one:
su
mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /storage/usbotg
For me my USB flash drive is /dev/block/sda1, yours should be the same, if not then change /dev/block/sda1 to whatever yours is.
After you mount it, the USB drive should be found under /storage/usbotg in a file manager.
Don't forget to type this into the terminal app before you unplug the USB drive, else it might corrupt it:
umount /storage/usbotg
Hope that helps!
