Anyone known of/if there will be a kernel or ROM that will enable USB OTG and charging? I have that set up for my Nexus 7 and would really like it running on my HOX+ I'm running the NAM version.

I am noticing at least nominal USB OTG support on my AT&T HOX+ with stock kernel. Just tested a wireless mouse and flash drive and both work just fine. As for "charging", I'm unsure of what that entails, but unless one of the kernels in the Development forums mentions it, you can expect that it's not currently on anyone's todo list.

Hi Folks,
I have the OTG cable and USB Y cable working my touchpad with 7/30 CM9 nightly... I would like to purchase a USB wired ethernet adapter. Has anyone tried and know of one that would actually work on the touchpad with CM9?
Thanks a ton!!
Anything that Android 4.0 supports should work unless its limited by our kernel. I'd say there is a good chance this one would work as it mentions plug and play compatibility on Android 3.2+. But there could be kernel limitations so you may want to get another opinion.

Hi,
does anybody know, whether USB OTG is supported by Desire X? I assume it is not supported by the stock system, but can I expect the support to be added by some custom system?
Regards,

It stands for USB on the go. It is the ability of the phone to act as USB host. So that you can connect a USB flash drive, keyboard, or mouse... to the phone.
There is an app in Google Play that allows to check your phone's capability of USB OTG or USB Host Mode, but I couIdn't test it with my Desire X, because I don't have any USB peripherals with a micro-usb connector. The app only says there are "classes" found (don't ask me what that means) that seem to support it. I couldn't see anything in the manual about it either.
The One X doesn't even have USB OTG with the kernel it uses now, but they might enable it in a future kernel update (read that somewhere).
Your best bet is to contact HTC support and ask them straight out.
I tested the app.
The Kernel is not supporting USB Hosting. (It`s only a Software issue, i think)
Hopefully the update will bring this feature.
S4 Play on MSM8225 doesn't support OTG. Just go on Qualcomm site and you can see it.
A bit late....
Hahaha I am a bit late on this one, but all aspects of USB OTG are functional on the Desire X w/ stock and some custom roms. This includes storage, keyboard/mouse, gamepads and much much more. Works flawlessly, and better than the Nexus 7 2013 on Stock can manage (no usb storage support!) One of the reasons I switched to CM 11 on my Nexus.

The thing is, USB OTG works only from Android version 4.1 and newer. 4.0 has no OTG support.

I think that you dont have the drivers.

Hi gang-
Maybe nottach or someone else in the know could answer this question, does the Optimus G support usb on the go yet? I have tried several USB dongles and keys that work fine on my Galaxy S2 and Nexus 7 but nothing appears to work properly on the Optimus yet, even despite trying several USB mounting utilities such as stickmount.
Am I using the wrong utilities, or is there no support in the stock ROM or Base ROM yet?

There's no support for it in the kernel, stock or sk8's kernel. Hopefully, once custom kernels become available, we will have USB OTG capability, although I don't know how popular it will be, given that you can stick in a 64Gig micro sdcard in our LGOG.
Hi. Today I tried to connect a flash drive, a mouse and a keyboard but none of them worked. I saw videos on YouTube showing that you only have to connect the cable and that's it. No apps of configs. When I connect the OTG cable it detects it and a notification appears saying USB connector connected. The flash drive's LED flashes and even the mouse optical flashes red but nothing happens. No cursor and no drives in memory. What can this problem be?
I am using Siyah's Kernel V6b4 and have JB 4.1.2 official leak.
Thanks for your help!!
I'm on Xylon ROM (trinity kernel) on galaxy nexus. I bought an OTG cable to play Vice City on my GN. No notification here, I test a mouse successfully but my Xbox controller doesn't work.
Sent from my toilets
But I have Galaxy S2. And on some videos on youtube even with stock firmware 2.3.4 it worked.
I noticed that on the videos the notification is "USB host connected" while mine says "USB connector connected".
My OTG cable has a short between pin 4 and pin 5. 5 volts are coming out because I tested it with a multimeter.
It's mostly up to the kernel to provide OTG support. And unfortunately it seems it usually isn't something the kernel devs prioritize. I've had pretty good results with the CyanogenMod stock kernel though.

Can I install only the kernel on 4.1.2 leak? Because cyanogenmod does not support MHL and I don't wish to flash it.
Hello guys.
Some Asus motherboards has a feature that can charge phones x3 times faster than the usual charging using B.C 1.1 function.
When I connect my S3 to the USB 3.0 port I get a BSOD!!! Do you know if S3 is compatible with this feature?
Though I don't know if B.C 1.1 function works only with USB 3.0
iPhone supports this
Thanks for your quick reply
ps: re-post the question as i realized that i posted it to wrong forum

I know Note 2 doesn't support B.C 1.1 as it doesnt detect the device for it. Seems the charge current is restricted by the kernel.
So S3 shouldn't be compatible.
But it shouldn't give you a BSOD. Seems something wrong with the driver somewhere. Try updating/reinstalling the AI Suite.
guys I just brought a usb3 cable to try this, if its not compatible why does stweak show usb3 options on the kernel?

No-one said its not compatible with USB 3.0. They said it's not compatible with B.C 1.1
