ARC S (LT18i) comes with USB OTG support but when I plug an USB memory stick it recognizes it but says it's not supported.
From what I read it only works with LiveDock which is, by my opinion, not good at all, not even a real dock since you have to plug a cable in phone.
so is there a simple possibility to make USB work without LiveDock?
by simple I meen without flashing a new kernel
Thank you

In short, you need:
Q5 Memory Manager: http://android.gval.biz/download/Q5_USB_Memory_Manager.apk
Module Loader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228605
usb-storage module: http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/xperia_2011/usb_otg/v01/usb-storage.ko
You can then connect and mount USB flash drives (formatted FAT32) with a suitable USB-OTG cable.
Hi
a cheap wireless keyboard/mouse bundle works perfect with a cheap otg cable.
usb hub too.
Managed to use usb key with XTCrefugee explanations.
But, could we charge the battery, at the same time using usb devices?
arc S
otg with unsupported USB
Getting the same error message, I have Astro file manage.
Unsure how to mount USB drive.
Get this app, it does the job nicey http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389653
PM me if you would like a copy...to test out
Thanks for responding, but I see the linked app requires rooting etc. There appears q5 but that's not on plaststore. Would upgrading to ICS be solution or a problem. What would you suggest?
When I had ICS installed still need to use some app to mount USB stick ... I have to say that Nokia N8 and other new Symbian devices have better support fot USB OTG ...
So after painstakingly searching around for an answer on how to get OTG working on the galaxy s2 running a custom ROM and Kernal with little to no help i finally figured it out:
You will need:
OTG Cable ( Micro USB Host cable) (store bough or home made work, i followed this link: http://highonandroid.com/android-howtos/how-to-make-otg-usb-host-cable-for-galaxy-s2-or-xoom/ )
A Kernel that supports OTG ( I'm using { and could only find } http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/05/06/siyahkernel-v3-2rc1/ , there is an update to this kernal , but i have not tested the OTG support yet (May/7)
And last but not least, USB Host Controller APP : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.sztupy.android.usbhostcontroller&hl=en
Procedures :
1. Install the kernel by flashing it through CWM
2.Install USB Host Controller App
3. Restart phone
4. plug in usb device into OTG cable
5. Plug in OTG Cable to phone
6. TADAA
if you have any questions feel free to PM me or post a reply...
i had to change the steps from the link to make the OTG cable to make it work!!!
Homemade Cable Troubleshoot:
my cable was a samsung USB U2 cable, i dont know if this makes the biggest difference. but you want to short ( connect) pins 4 and 5.. one of the 2 solder points is the black wire from the usb cable ( ground) and if yours doesnt work with the pin he says to use, you can try plugging in a usb device into the cable and have the wire connected to the ground and simply probe the other pins until you find the pin that works! ( DO NOT CONNECT BLACK AND RED I REPEAT DO NOT SHORT BLACK AND RED, YOU WILL FRY YOU PHONE AND I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS, THIS IS YOUR WARNING!!!)
This kernel can work with Galaxy s2 duos tv gt-s7273T ?
I,m trying enable the OTG to my s2 gt-s7273T
This is possible? Using Jelly Bean 4.2.2 stock rooted
With busybox installed .
Please if possible help me
WOW! I have a faulty micro sd card so I could only backup to internal storage. Saw your post which reminded me I have an OTG cable that I use for my Note 4, I'm using CM11 and "hey presto!" CM11 recognizes external USB, no apps needed, I could/can make backups, Love my CM11
Glad I saw your post, Many Thanks, and Kind Regards!!

have you test it before asking this question?
as far as i know, since jelly bean the otg is already supported out of box for our hox
external hdd i am not sure but usb flashdisk drive i am sure you can connect it to the phone

Thanks for your response , i know that i can run usb sticks but to run a mouse or controllers i need :
-an OTG cable
-a USB Y-cable
-a usb perhipheral (eg: mouse, keyboard, thumb drive, etc)
i need a kernel for self powered OTG which means that i don't need USB Y-cable !!!!!!!

i think what you need is kernel that could provide enough power for that
stock kernel has usb otg support but it doesn't provide enough power for your usage
but to connect mouse , keyboard, and thumb drive in the same time is quite much don't you think ? :silly:
hoping you could find the solution for that
how about trying trip's kernel ? or kholk's kernel ?
but only support android before 4.2.2
these 2 kernels have the otg support even before htc gave supportto otg officialy
maybe the parameter is quite different so the supplied power may be greater than the one now
just my opinion

There is no kernel that can do that, it is hardware related...imposible to do that without Y-cable

I found the kernel but the HBOOT 1.72 REQUIRED :crying: here
does o2 (uk) updated the hboot to 1.72 ???????

Hello everyone!
I have got a Galaxy S4 Mini (I9192) and I try to connect my PS4 controller to it, in order to use PS4 modded remote control app, but the phone does not recognise it. I use CM13 latest build by @csendre , custom kernel by @DarkFrenzy and TWRP 3.0.2-1 by @ne0zone75 as well, but I cannot control the phone through my controller. Inside TWRP, in mount option, I cannot enable USB OTG, and using OTG Troubleshooter app, it has crosses on two last lines (not recognized by Linux and not recognised by Android). I have also connected USB flash drive without any luck... So, is there any way to use USB OTG or is it a hardware limitation of the phone?
Thank you a lot!

I did not use a controller with the S4 mini, however I used USB OTG functions with no issues, but you need to supply power so use a Y cable. Our hardware can not supply power through the USB port
My display broke, i cannot put my pin to open the device. I researched that i could control my phone using a otg cable and a mouse.
my question is that will an otg with a mouse work here in this screen. This is not the lockscreen where we put a pattern or a pin, this is the screen which comes before the phone completely turns on.
The screen reads " To start android, enter your PIN"
i know my pin, it would be so helpful to me if somebody tries to restart their phone and use a usb otg cable to connect a mouse and tell me if it works.
i have a normal otg cable and a usb type c to micro usb adapter and this is not working. i am asuming the adapter maybe the problem.
Not really on topic, but anyways: if adapter works for file transfer with normal micro USB cable, then it's not the culprit here. The problem is the OTG cable. For some reason OP3 doesn't work with many OTG cables; you'll need another one. Preferably some that is confirmed to work.

problem solved
bought another usb C otg cable and used a normal usb mouse with it, i could open the pin.
So if someones display breaks or touch stops working, u can use a usb C otg and a mouse to open up ur phones pin code and unlock it to copy your pics/videos.
hey ayman2710, could you tell me which usb c otg cable exactly worked?

so mr.ayman, I bought a usb c otg cable from amazonbasics, but I can´t connect my mouse to my OP3
i searched for the brand "remax" which u sent me, but they´re not shipping to germany. Anyways i saw OP has a OTG Cable, normally that should work?

Ehh , this is OOS .
I checked it with LOS 15.1 and otg works without any extra settings .
Do you have unlock bootloader . You can install twrp and otg should work in twrp .
Btw if you have turn on usb debugging you can copy your data from phone to pc by ADB shell commands .

I dont have unlocked bootloader and my plan is to switch usb debugging on with a mouse, which I want to connect to my OP3, but with the first adapter i tried it didn't worked..
Now I will buy a adapter from OP3 and try it again...
