Does the stock kernel support USB input devices like mouse and keyboard... ?
The USB host controller app says "USB host drivers not found"
Also pluging in a Mouse/ Joypad/ Keyboard doesnt work....
Starting a new thread coz all the others in this regard are outdated by several months...
I can confirm that USB drives are working using StickMount... I m concerned about the input devices ...

thanks 4 replay!
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 ...
Hi!
I tried OTG on my Wildfire (CyanogenMod 7.1) but, naturally, it doesn't work.
It recognizes the cable like a dock station and active the pen drive but doesn't mount it: can add an OTG support?
I also tried the Chainfire's app (USB Host Diagnostics) but it didn't say nothing.
Thanks.
Bye!

Does Nokia N1 got OTG support? I have Tried to connect my USB Flash through OTG cable but doesn't work for me ....
Doesn't work for me either >_<
I don't have an otg cable myself (yet) but can you try to use USB Host Diagnostics (available in play store) and post the report?
FYI I got an OTG cable myself and it didn't work. I dug a bit deeper and found out that OTG is most likely not implemented because Nokia N1 is using legacy usb controller over usb C - see below:
Converting USB 2.0 OTG SoCs to USB Type-C
While existing Device, Host, and DRD devices can be converted to support the USB Type-C connection with some effort, it is not practical to convert existing OTG SoCs. OTG requires a new state machine using the configuration channel to support USB Type-C. Host Negotiation Protocol is used to swap host and device role for OTG, while Power Delivery communication is used to change roles for USB Type-C. Combined, these challenges preclude simple upgrades of OTC SoCs to USB Type-C. - See more at: https://www.synopsys.com/Company/Pu...esign-type-c-2015q1.aspx#sthash.Ri02Guwe.dpuf

The only chance to get otg to work is most likely preparing a kernel patch (are the sources even available?) to manually switch the connector to host mode and power the attached device externally
After a bit of hacking around I was able to enable usb otg on my N1!
I've had a look at kernel sources for device with similar SoC (Nexus Player) and saw an interesting debugfs entry. To my surprise it worked like a charm and immediately detected the attached usb hub with a thumb drive, it even powered the hub so I didn't have to use an external power source!
To enable host mode, the following command has to be enterted in root console:
echo A > /sys/kernel/debug/usb/dwc3_debugfs_root/otg_id
Caveats (will try to find a way to resolve them):
- after enabling host mode N1, won't charge from the usb port - a reboot is required to enable the charging again
- probably same is true for pheripherial mode (connecting n1 to a pc). In theory, changing a to b in the above echo command should bring the tablet back to normal mode but for some reason it won't charge without a reboot so I'm assuming that same is true for non otg usb connectivity. Will have a look at the sources and debug messages to find out what's going on

Thanks for your hard job.
I have tried on my N1. It is amazing that otg did work. However, the otg can not coexist with charging function as yours. Hope someone could find a solution.

Hey,
Are you on Android 5.1.1 or 5.0 ?
I've had a look at the code of the usb driver of the a phone with similar chipset (asus zenfone 5) and it seems that the source of the problem is that the tablet fails to detect an appropriate charger type, which could mean either that the otg cable does not support this or the code of the driver does not work properly with usb C. Was wondering if something changed around this after the update?

Hi, mine N1 is still running the android 5.0.
I am afraid Root is the prerequisite to hack otg. Unfortunately, root is not available on android 5.1.1 till now, so even the android 5.1.1 driver support it, that won't help.
Thanks,dude.
Yeah exactly for that reason I haven't upgraded my tablet yet
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
