USB OTG and HFS+ File system

Hey I currently havea Western Digital 500gig external hard drive formatted as HFS and I tried plugging it in to my USB cable and nothing appeared. Does anyone know of a way to get the GS3 to recognize HFS-formatted drives over USB OTG?

You would need a custom kernel that has built-in support for the filesystem. Same thing goes for NTFS.

[Q] Getting OTG USB stick working. Questions.

Hi all,
I just received my OTG cable and I'm trying to get my USB stick working with it. I've tested both USB sticks and a USB mouse. The Mouse works fine and the USB stick is recognized and mounted but I cannot see any files on it.
What formats is the default (rooted) i989 (Telus S2X) setup to read?

[Q] NTFS Mounting (USB OTG)

Hi everyone,
I have a Note 10.1 2014 P605, which is rooted along with a OTG usb connector.
I can connect usb drives fine with exFat but not NTFS. I've tried various apps such as NTFS Mounter, Paragon and USB OTG Helper all to no success.
Just wondering if anyone would be able to help me out if possible?

Same prob

Are you using a compatible kernel? With a OTG Y Cable?

Using FAK kernel 1.3.6 and yes using Y cable, usb hub, keyboard, mouse, gamepad all working.
I'm also forced to reboot after using otg else I cannot charge or access files on the phone.

Does that mean you can now access your USB storage devices?

No - other devices work fine. but not usb storage devices.
Even rebooting does not allow me to access or mount usb storage devices.
If i have a usb storage device connected and I reboot some random apps disappear... until I disconnect otg and reboot again.

Does this tab support OTG on stock?

I plugged in an OTG cable and USB stick. The tab said USB storage was found but in fact it did not see the USB stick nor what was on it. So, no OTG support for the stock ROM?

OTG works!
Seemingly your stick uses unsupported format.

Thanks
