It's lte model xt1521
Hi,
I have the lte version xt1524 (surnia) and using current cm12.1 nightly. In settings > storage menu I also do not find any sign of usb otg, although stock rom supports it.
Can usb otg be implemented in surnia cm12.1?

When I connect usb storage to the phone it is powered by it but neither cm12.1 nor any file manager regognizes it.
Does any XT1524 user have working usb otg with cm12.1 nightly?

Did you tried ES FILE EXPLORER (it has an internal option to mount usb stick, but very buggy) or chainfire's stickmount??
Your phone lacks otg support
---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------
Just by flashing a custom rom or using any file explorer will not give you otg support.Your device should have otg hardware support

StickMount or ES File Explorer do not work.
StickMount says something like "mount command busy". ES File Explorer has a folder "usbdisk" in "storage" but it is empty when otg connected.

When I use stock rom USB otg works correctly.
Any other ideas?
Use root explorer and try any 2.0 pendrive with some files in it
Good luck

At first i had the same issue the usb folder wont show up even though i used es file explorer bt then in the app after opening the side menu there's this tab called as : local in this tab you'll find usbstorage. Click on it and done!
But make sure the pendrive led is glowing! Cz most of the usb otgs have loose connection problems!

Well i use pac-rom...this has the same ui as cm12.1 except the fact that it is based on cm12.1 also it has less bugs than cm12.1 n sms works fine without any errors in pac-rom! Also u could try using other messaging apps like textra or Google messenger!
Or just visit this link! You might find some potential solutions here! http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/578595-can-only-send-mms-sms-fails.html
Yes, I have the same problem - on the xt1524 OTG works fine on stock ROM, but doesnt work on the current nightly for CM12.1.

I finally managed to build a OTG cable with external power supply. I tought that the last build of CM 10.2 had the kernel and drivers prepared for OTG but no. Is there ANY other way to install drivers for OTG or another kernel?
If I'm not mistaken our devices never had OTG support to begin with.

Yeah I know that. But I tought that if we could manage to build a OTG cable with external power supply and use Cyanogenmod ( wich is supposed to have a kernel prepared for OTG ) we could finnaly "enable" the OTG feature on our L9.
*Like I said I don't know almost nothing about ROM's, kernels and other stuff.All the information I have is from what I've read on the internet.I put pieces togheter and I've tought that this "sistem" should probably work. :fingers-crossed:
You might try some kernels you find, maybe one of them lets you use OTG.
If you find it, you can tell us

Yes, as alexbarbu says, although our L9s doesn´t support OTG officially, if you flash a kernel with OTG support (such as the ones I have posted before) and you have a OTG cable with a third extension to a power supply, it is supposed that USB OTG should work on our devices. :good:

Maybe StickMount does the job for self-powered devices. Real on-the-go won't work. My cardreader's power led won't even light up, so no saving jpegs from my dslr.

OTG Support - Moto E
OTG support was available for version 4.4.2 and after upgrading to 4.4.4 it stopped working. Now we get only 4.4.4 version pre-installed. Is there a way to downgrade to version 4.4.2?

Yes flash 4.4.2 stock firmware without flashing gpt.bin file.
Yes, you can unlock Qualcomm settings.
Step 1 - install a custom android launcher, such as nova or apex.
Step 2 - long press on the home screen and popup appears, and click on add shortcuts. Shortcuts>activities>com.Qualcomm.settings>Qualcomm settings.
Whenever you connect your otg go to Qualcomm settings and click on enable otg or otg mode peripheral, and also switch on mass storage mode.

CONFIRMED!
OTG works on stock 4.4.2 using external powered usb hub, there is no mouse/keyboard detection but sucefully load my usb flash drive using the "Nexus Media Importer" app from playstore.
This means, Moto E has USB Host Support from hardware! The only limitation is in newest softwares/kernels!

Some Android device does not support any type of usb connections, like most of LG phones, these devices haven't otg drivers, XML permissions, mount partitions and kernell support, but in hardware i think the only limitation is the 5V power supply, and yes, you're right, mounting usb sticks through ext powered usb hub isn't otg support like moto g and x, is only a simple USB Host support

I used a external powered usb hub and a simple otg cable, this method is working only on 4.4.2 stock firmware, don't ask me why, in lollipop it don't seems to work, but probally using a custom kernel is possible put usb host to work, let's wait for a developer to do that in future

I don't belive it's not possible... Moto E has USB Host drivers, permissions, and mount partitions (I see it on my device) but, OTG don't works, with and without a powered USB HUB... So, i belive it's only a kernel limitation... or something like this... It's only my opinion, but maybe is possible make OTG works, just wondering

DISCLAIMAR! Do it on your own Risk, I will not be responsible if you brick your device in anyway!
Its been a hell of a ride from newbie to first custom CM-12.1 ROM for my LG G3 Dual SIM phone, I really hate STOCK ROM! anyways I think kernel will work for Dual SIM [D857/8/8HK/9] variants and porting ROM to new device will not be much of an effort. You can check if the kernel works for you without flashing, just use "fastboot boot boot.img" if you has enable fastboot on G3 (by removing "Download Mode") otherwise take Backup [ALWAYS] and flash the zip to test if its boots on your Dual SIM variants. This ROM should work fine with Dual SIM models [D857/8/8HK/9] with few bugs as user's reported.

Hi all,
I am using Moto E 2015[XT1521] 4G variant with CM 12.1-20160104-NIGHTLY, unlike the stock lollipop ROM there is no option to mount OTG drives.
There are some scenarios of the problem :
1. Some other Moto E 2015 4G variants(e.g. XT 1524 & some other XT15XX models) claims to have OTG support with CM 12.1 by usuing ES file explorer or Chainfire Stickmount .
2. Some guys in the forum saying that it lacks OTG support but The stock ROM of this model supports OTG.
The Solutions I've Tried :
1. ES file explorer : nothing happens
2. Chainfire Stickmount : nothing happens
3. I have used some custom kernel (e.g. Squid Kernel): nothing happens
till now I'm facing the problem. Please Help !!!!

* make sure its formatted with FAT32 as it only supports FAT32
To support OTG, the device needs a 5V amplifying booster. No version of Moto E have that booster. That's why a pendrive through OTG is not detected. But if you can supply an outside source of power to the OTG device, then your phone can mount it. This is according to @squid2

Yes, that I saw for myself. Don't know. There are no official documentation for OTG support.

Hi all,
I am using Moto E 2015[XT1521] 4G variant with CM 12.1-20160104-NIGHTLY, unlike the stock lollipop ROM there is no option to mount OTG drives.
There are some scenarios of the problem :
1. Some other Moto E 2015 4G variants(e.g. XT 1524 & some other XT15XX models) claims to have OTG support with CM 12.1 by usuing ES file explorer or Chainfire Stickmount .
2. Some guys in the forum saying that it lacks OTG support but The stock ROM of this model supports OTG.
The Solutions I've Tried :
1. ES file explorer : nothing happens
2. Chainfire Stickmount : nothing happens
3. I have used some custom kernel (e.g. Squid Kernel): nothing happens
till now I'm facing the problem. Please Help !!!!

If the stock android is giving the OTG support then THIS IS a official documentation of OTG hardware support.

I know ! but I'm searching support for Cyanogenmod . Anyways Thanks a lot for the information bro :good: ! It proves that there is hardware compatibility for OTG.
I think it depends on the ROM and kernel you use. I'm on the latest RR update with the squid kernel r14 and I have OTG. On most other roms I couldn't get any OTG things working.

Thank you for the information. but I am searching otg support for CM.
Apparently using a otg y cable solves the problem. This enables to add the charger to other point thus giving it the proper power.
Can anyone tell me if OTG will work on a stock XT1528 if I add external power?
I just tried it on my Boost Mobile XT1526 running CM12.1 and it works fine with a normal OTG cable. My USB flash drives and a USB mouse I have work fine.
I have to mount it manually with terminal though. I can't find anything in the Play store that'll mount it except for two file managers, which isn't ideal. Because I'd rather use the CyanogenMod file manager.
I tried using normal Mounters from the Play store but they didn't do squat.

You are right, the stock ROM can mount it perfect without a external power source. CyanogenMod can to. I've done it a couple times now, by mounting it manually with a terminal app.
You need a rooted phone for this, CyanogenMod is already rooted.
Open a terminal app, doesn't matter which one. I use the terminal app that's built into CyanogenMod. Type this into the terminal app, pressing enter after each one:
su
mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /storage/usbotg
For me my USB flash drive is /dev/block/sda1, yours should be the same, if not then change /dev/block/sda1 to whatever yours is.
After you mount it, the USB drive should be found under /storage/usbotg in a file manager.
Don't forget to type this into the terminal app before you unplug the USB drive, else it might corrupt it:
umount /storage/usbotg
Hope that helps!
