Hello, I'm trying to use some USB devices with my phone but I can get nothing to work, apart from usb drives.
I'm using stock ICS 4.0.3, so first of all, is USB OTG support enabled for keyboards and mice?
Since the kernel isn't dumping a /proc/config.gz I can't check if it's enabled. Is there another way to check?
Also, is module support enabled for the stock kernel?
Have any of you successfully used USB keyboards and mice, or even better gamepads, with your GS2 on stock ICS? What models?
And finally, since I've been keeping my GS2 pretty much "stock", except from rooting, which custom kernel/rom out there offers most support for USB OTG. I'm especially interested in gamepads.
Also, on a more rhetorical level, why would a company not provide out-of-the-box support for USB OTG? I can understand not giving root access or overclocking capabilities, since those can damage your phone or increase performance, effectively increasing the life expectancy of the product, but why OTG? It's not like samsung produces branded gamepads or mice as accessories so enabling full OTG support would reduce sales or something. Does compiling all those drivers into the kernel increase the image size that much?
Rename general to Question and Answers please .

This was more of a general talk thread, about the use of OTG on the galaxy, and not a specific question that I wanted answered, but whatever.
Any input?
+1 for USB OTG on Stock ICS 4.0.3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
+1 to what exactly? Support for OTG? Does this mean that it's currently unsupported?
On a side note, I compiled joydev for the stock kernel ( GT-I9100_ICS_Opensource_Update4 ) but was unable to install it, insmod giving an "exec format error". Apparently this means that the kernel source I used is not the same version as on my phone? Or that the stock kernel does not support modules?
Any dev insight on this?
shamelessly bumping this.
Hello all. Im trying to find some assistance from a developer. I have been attempting to compile a kernel for my SCH-i605 that has the usb wifi drivers for Ralink RT5370 chipset. I have been beating my head against the wall attempting this. This is my first attempt at building a kernel and quite frankly i'm overwhelmed at this point... I was wondering if a developer would be able to assist me in trying to build this kernel or point me to a guide that would be able to show me how to do this? I dont need anything fancy just a AOSP kernel with these drivers added to it... I am currently using 4.2.2 PacMan Rom (which I love).
Hi, just a quick question. Would it be possible to add kernel support for ath9k devices (namely tl-wn722n) to surnia's kernel? I've seen people being successful with it on another devices. If it is indeed possible, how to do it?
Hi Guys,
Not sure where to ask this but would it be possible to patch the following in one of the kernels for RN3 Kate?
Im trying to use NXLoader,but apparently it doesn't support it because it has an EHCI controller, not XHCI.
Apparently this can be done,but i have no idea how to do it
"not patch to xhci, simply patch ehci to behave the way we want it to.
https://github.com/fail0verflow/shofel2/blob/master/linux-ehci-enable-large-ctl-xfers.patch"
Thanks for all the help
Even I am trying to use NXLoader to send payload to my Switch. I even tried Rekado (another app) and it has the same issue. Here's what the creator of the app had to say...
@aKMTR not patch to xhci, simply patch ehci to behave the way we want it to.

You will need to recompile your kernel to do this most likely, although I did write a "hotpatch" script for desktop linux systems: https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/41b12362cc4d8c539dc441d75155f2e9
I can't really help you from here. but if you do figure it out please document what you did so others can follow along.

Current, I am on latest global stable stock MIUI on RN3. I can upgrade to any rom if it supports this modification.
Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply.
I've been told that installing a custom kernel and then adding a script to it can help. Can some devs of a kernel help us with this, please.
Edit: I just tried out Rekado on my wife's Honor 7X phone (which also has Micro USB port) and it just worked. It's a brand new phone and has no root, etc.
Does anyone know which if any of the GSIs will support USB OTG and charge at the same time? I am trying to run OctoPrint and the stock firmware doesn't allow it.
that would more likely be kernel related, maybe you can ask one of the kernel devs to implement this.
