thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588979
i dont have an otg cable or i'd try it. let me know how it works. (i believe faux's kernel has OTG support)
Doesn't work with Energy with Stock, Faux or Kozmicks Kernels. I was hoping it did when I tried it a few weeks ago.

Can't get it to read. I read that the newest Olympus ROM coupled with the newest goodman kernel would work but it does nothing. The flash drive doesn't even light up. Tried a powered USB hub and it only lights for a second but the phone won't read it. Both the ROM and kernel list it as a feature and it does nothing. Also tried an ICS build with and without the goodman ROM and no success. Every USB host thread is dead just wondering if anyone had gotten it to work.
i use mine all the time
Awesome what ROM and kernel do you use? Is there anything special you had to do for it work or is it plug and play?
I have bought an MHL adapter, and also a HDMI to HDMI cable.
1) apparently it did not work and my screen on the phone turned green and I had to reboot my phone. Since then, my phone then going into screen off, may observe some grain lines just before the lights on the screen turns off.
2) i had problem with my WIFI tethering.. it just prompts me error, and even with reboots, I can't seem to provide WIFI hotspot. I tried looking for threads but to no avail, hoping for some experts to enlighten me on this two issues.
Thanks in advance..
It may help to mention what rom / kernal combination you have.
Sent from my GT-I9100
May also help to mention;
1. is the MHL adapter you're attempting to use an OEM Samsung MHL adapter, or some knock-off?
2. When attempting to use the MHL adapter, are you plugging in power to the adapter? And if so, are you using the original AC adapter that came with your phone? If not, you should try that.
3. "problem with wi-fi tethering" and "it just prompts me error" doesn't begin to describe your problem.
You need to provide much more detail if you expect anyone to be able to help you.

It only prompted me with the ONLY word error after I mark on hotspot tethering. How do I provide more information for that when the phone error doesn't give me more information?
yes, like you said, it's OEM Samsung MHL adapter with Original AC adapter and everything original..
The only thing that's not original is my ROM & kernel.
I'm on Ultratoxic Rom v8.0.2 with Siyahkernel 2.6.9. still the same fault with Siyahkernel 2.6.11.

I have Siyah kernel 2.6.4 on stock XXKI3 (I know - I'm behind the times), and MHL works fine with Wi-Fi for me.
Sorry, I don't know anything about the Ultratoxic ROM. Looks like it's Samsung based (XWKK5) when I look at the thread I find when I search for it. Have you checked with any other users of this ROM?

The other users seems to have no problem on that ROM..

The only thing I can suggest is to make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM, flash to a stock ROM, and see if it works with that. If it does, then something you have installed (maybe the ROM, but maybe some other app) is causing the behavior.
hey guys
i recently got a USB otg cable for my S2(GT-I9100) and while this cable fine works with pen drives it doesn't work with any USB Keyboards or Mice that i plug into it. every time i do plug a keyboard or mouse, the phone completely freezes and i need to do a restart to get it running again
I tried applying the fix mentioned here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209567)
but still no good
any help will be appreciated
(PS: i am running siyah kernel 2.6.12 along with android 2.3.6)
Same here Bro
Heyho XDA,
sorry for pushing this old Thread,
but i have exactly the same Problem
Everytime i plug in a USB keyboard or a mice,
the Phone freezes instantly -.-
My Setup is:
CheckRom Revo v6
Siyah Kernel v2.6.13
Original Samsung OTG cable
Anyone else having this issue?
Or maybe a fix ?
Same problem
I've got the same problem. Pendrives, memorycardreader and systemcamera works great, but no mouse and keyboard.
Tested the same setup on my friends Galaxy Note and it worked out of the box. But not on my phone.
Download
USB Host Controller from the Play Store , see if that works.

It seems that USB Host and USB OTG are two different things. It has to be supported in the kernel. And I did root my phone and derooted by changing the kernel. I didn't save my original kernel so I had to download a new one. So maybe my kernel doesn't support OTG anymore.
I'm gonna look closer into this and report back it I'm getting it to work.
How do I get this to work? I made a thread which I can't find now. Downloaded kernel claiming to have it enabled and a Rom claiming the same (Titan 2.5). The rom alone does nothing so I flashed the kernel with similar results even after wiping cache and dalvik. It won't even power the USB device. I tried a powered usb hub and even that doesn't work. Are these claims fake and they expect no one to try it or does anyone have this working? If so what rom, kernel or process did you use?
I've read that it won't work on HW 002 phones - which is unfortunately what I have. So I haven't been able to get it to work either.
That said, Chad Goodman's early kernels didn't support mhl on 002 phones either. I updated to Anthrax kernel rev 13, and MHL was restored per a comment from Chad. You might try that kernel and see if it works for USB host. At this point, I'm not sure that the ROM I'm using even supports USB Host.
I have recently downloaded a program called Divemate USB which is supposed to allow me to sync data from my Suunto Cobra dive computer via the USB data cable with an OTG adapter. I have been unable to transfer data and the app says that no dive computer is connected. I contacted the developer who believes that the DNA may have certain USB devices may be limited by the stock Kernel. I am rooted and S-Off but I have never experimented with Kernel modifications. Does anyone know if any of the the DNA Kernels available here would solve my issue? The developer suggested that disabling the USB_OTG_WHITELIST may solve the problem but I do not know how to do that.
to access the otg feature plug in otg cable and your lil pc and reboot phone into recovery then go to advanced and select otg
now make sure your on the latest twrp or cwm recovery crpalmer kernel will do otg cables beastmode kernel will do otg cable
btw i dont know if otg will work in android i could be wrong and you can maybe try another app
also what rom are you on stock sense or what it has nothing to do with it but if your still stock kernel then try a custom kernel they all have otg support
