Has anyone tried running keyboards, mouse or gamepads with JellyBean?
I don't have OTG Cable and I can't test any device, but if someone have tested it with the JB update can talk about it here and let the others Desire X's users know
I've tried mouse and usb flash drive. Both work just fine

mouse works fine!
I will buy a OTG cable soon. I would try to test any gamepad device, I have two 360 Controller (one wired, one wireless with respective receiver). I read from somewhere in xda that now it's possible to connect wireless receiver to Android... well, I swear that our DX can support it too! It will be great for emulators like ePSXe...
Does it support USB 2.5 inch harddisks as well? Did anyone test? I will buy an otg cable soon, too, so I would like to know if it works...
well, Joysticks and Controller does'nt work for me
but Flash Drive, Keyboard, Mouse Does
although USB OTG is Very CHEAP
Costed me 30 INR or $0.55
Did you download any app? And what ROM are you using?

I suppose that usb HDD without external AC input won't work, I think that Desire X's usb doesn't have enough power for that.

You will be needing an app

To make it work

Upgrade to JB and you'll have OTG support.

Just got a usb harddrive to work using external power. It's ntfs formatted, so I used Paragon NTFS mount from Play Store. The drive itself doesn't have a power supply, but I connected a USB Y-power cable to it and plugged in the other side to my laptop. Will try a mobile USB charger as well as soon as I'll get one.

But the xbox controller in the video is a wired one, mine is like the one attached in the photo, wireless controller with Windows receiver (also, mine is a third party receiver). Also I tried with others USB PC adapters I have, like one N64+PSX to usb and another one that is 2 PSX/2 controllers to USB, and don't work on it. If I can, I will try on a Xperia Ray and look if it works on it...

We do have USB host, and a cable works by supplying 5v on pin 1 (through modding a usb hub) but I dont know the differences between the FPSE and honeycomb he's running and our setup, I'm not familiar with the drivers that would be used to recognize a game controller like that.
Honestly ive been using a wiimote through bluetooth with a classic controller forever, but I might be able to get a friend's playstation 3 controller to test this with and get back to you.
Edit - at the second part of your title, keyboard, yes, many users here have modded/official usb hubs/docks and can tell you that a keyboard works just fine, but if you're thinking along the lines of a straight wire into an OTG adapter into your phone, then sorry, but it doesn't work (usb host mode doesn't get activated)

thanks for reply, yeah its just a afterglow ps3 controller. i would get the wiimote and the classic controller but that would be more expensive than a used ps3 controller. i was just thinking something like a controller emulator or something could be made, idk

yeah i knew about this but didnt want to have to buy a sixaxis. guess its the only way i can go!
i was wondering if anyone has ever gotten the sixaxxis contorller app to work for the flyer/View? if so what did you have to modify? i have gotten it to work on my nexus s and i realize that something in sense prevents it form working on our devices but i was wondering if anyone has found a way to use it.
Anyone? I haven't found any solution myself
I really hope it's possible.

I know on the phone the main issue is sense. The BT stack HTC uses are not as good as those in vanilla Android. So bt devices suffer. That being said, the only decent controller I have seen people use with success on the 3d, is some $30 one sold by gamestop. If I can remember I'll link the post later.

From what I understand, the Flyer/EVO View's USB port doesn't output enough power to carry USB devices by themselves. You'll have to use a powered USB hub to connect that controller adapter. I have a Motorola Xoom Camera Kit ( basically a male MicroUSB -> Female USB adapter) and I can't get the Flyer to recognize anything, even an externally powered USB HDD, but it could also be the file system on it.

I have been using the PhoneJoy bluetooth controller and it works perfectly. It is essentially a bluetooth keyboard crammed into a PS2 controller but I haven't had any problems with it and it's only $35.

Did you have to be rooted to use this controller? Did you need to use an app to use it as well?
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------
Found out you don't have to be rooted and you can use app Bluez-IME. It is only $35 but shipping is $15 :| Kinda high but I guess it's just about the same price as a ps3 controller.
Yea but its not the same price as a PS2 controller as mentioned. See around if there are better deals first
Hi,
Coming from an Xperia play i didn't need this!
However having had a Asus transformer, i used to use an xbox controller to play games.
1. Is this possible at all on a S3?
2. Is this possible with this adapter? http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mobile-fun-connection-kit-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-p35462.htm
3. With the adapter can we still use hdmi output?
What im hope to achieve is gaming using a controller on my tv all through my S3.
Would be awesome for portable Emulation.
Cheers

Not possible, MHL and USB OTG are mutually exclusive connections at the hardware level.

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?

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.

Yes it is. In fact, the OTG cable I ordered from Amazon arrived today. I'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you search Amazon for "Cable Matters (2-Pack) Micro-USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) Adapter" it's $6.99 right now.
I plugged it into my Note and it read my 8GB USB stick perfectly. I was even able to plug my mouse and keyboard into it!
Totally worth the price. Let me know if you have questions.

The only problem is the battery is draining fast when it's connected the usb stick and more with the mouse.
