I recently added the DSC 2.2 ROM to my DS5 in the hope that I could use a USB OTG adapter cable. I previously had limited mouse capabilty using the adapter, but after the new ROM I have no USB OTG capability at all. Does anyone know how I can get the OTG function to work?

No,SGA does not support OTG, you might be confusing it with SGS2 or Galaxy TAB which has OTG support‼
I wish SGA also had OTG support, *WISH*

Simple Test report
Device: Mini Pro SK17i
Rom: Stock 2.3.4 .58
Kernel: Stock
Bought a OTG cable for Samsung yesterday, and another USB Female to Female adapter for an ordinary USB cable.
a) The female - female adapter for use with microUSB cable = FAIL. Charging function intact, no detection for any USB device.
b) OTG cable:
1. Plugged in a mouse - cursor appears on the screen immediately. Rightbutton serves as return button. Scroll function works
2. Keyboard: not tested
3. USB Lan RJ45 (works on some Android Tablets): NOT working on Mini Pro. "Unsupported USB device" appears on screen
4. USB flash Drive: Toshiba 1Gb - Unsupported
Transcend 4Gb - Unsupported
*Tried out the USB OTG patch for Arc. NO LUCK
Conclusion: Unless you want to use external mouse or keyboard on your convenience, DONT bother to use the OTG for external memory/ethernet. It would not work on current rom. The OTG function is more or less useless.
USB flash works perfectly with Q5 USB Memory Manager app, i tried to connect 4gb flash and 2 gb flashcard via card reader)
But i could not make the mouse works
Some USB Hubs are working great ! Toady i plugged an apple pro keyboard into my device which was correctly found by my St17i
after plugged a mouse into the apple keyboard and also a 8 GB intenso usb stick. All 3 devices worked at the same time, astonishing !

... and RAY also. Ray support USB storage?
I've tested an Samsung Micro-USB-Adapter (ET-R205U) on Ray (Ginger 2.3.4 stock), this week and NO result with Sandisk Cruizer 2GB USB flash drive.
Mouse and Keyb's works fine but no external usb mass storage.
I didn't test any usb hub yet. Someone of you did it?
I dont know a lot about USB OTG but there is an USB OTG apk in system/apk.
what if we replace that apk to some other gingerbread running phone's apk which perfectly runs USB OTG
have you guys tried the USBOTG ARC app that is on the market? Apparently can make USB sticks works.
hi everyone, just bought a OTG cable and it works great (rooted SGS2 + checkROMv4 + redpill 1.3 kernel), I've tried flashdrives and external HDD (with external power source) and it works just fine, but my question is:
WHAT ELSE I CAN CONNECT AND USE WITH MY OTG CABLE? (sorry for the caps)
I tried with a usb mouse and keyboard and no success at all.
Some devices working/not working via USB OTG can be kernel dependent. If your mouse/kb won't work, it might be that the kernel doesn't support same. Might want to ask the creator of the kernel you use/or someone else in its thread if this is the case/how to get these working if they are supported.

i have micro usb to usb .
i have ics cm9!
With a USB OTG cable like this, you should be able to connect USB sticks & some other USB devices dependent on kernel (I know Siyah & CM9 stock kernels support this; don't know about others as I don't use them).
So far as an external drive goes, if the drive has an external power source, you might be able to get it to work.
Is this what you were asking ?
Hello, guys...
I have one question: how can I find out that my phone supports the USB OTG?
I have tried USB OTG checker app that told me: "Your device OS has USB OTG API!" but when I plug the USB OTG flash drive, nothing happen..
There is a also folder called "usbotg" in /storage.
Why does not it working?
