[MOD][KERNEL] Stock 4.2.1 + OTG

Hi all,
For the purists amongst you, like myself, I have attached a modified, repacked boot image that will mount (automatically) external storage devices to /storage/usbdisk and /storage.
You need to be rooted and unlocked.
Installation:
Backup your boot image with recovery of your choice
Reboot into bootloader
fastboot flash boot neostock421.img
reboot into android
rename vold.txt to vold.fstab (XDA wouldn't let me upload a vold.fstab)
copy and paste vold.fstab (attached) into /system/etc/
set permissions on vold.fstab to 755
reboot
plug in your drive and enjoy
Notes:
The storage device will not show up in settings/storage, that requires modification of the framework, I could do it (if there is a suitable apktool available) and package the lot as an update.zip but for the time being I won't.
Observations:
I have observed that in Root explorer, the device is mounted read-only initially (you can simply remount read-write), but if I open /storage/usbdisk in Estrongs and return to Root Explorer, it's now read-write. Either way, you should no trouble getting read-write.
Warnings:
Do the above at your own risk, I take no responsibility, bla bla, etc etc.

Thanks for your stuff
Added in the Index for N10

Hello! Thank you! I can flash this on stock ROM? OTG will work?

Yep,
That's the Idea Enjoy.

Does it support ext3/4 file systems, or only FAT?

This is not good!
ITS GREAT!
Thank you!!

It just auto mounts existing supported file systems, nothing more, nothing less.
I haven't tested it with anything other than a fat file system cause that's all I have on my pen drives.
Unfortunately the N10 doesn't appear to source enough power to power my 2.5" hdd, shame cause my XOOM used to power it just fine.

I am using an external WD My Book Essential with external power supply. Is it suppposed to have a notification after it's plugged in? Cause it doesn't happen and it doesn't appear in Settings -> Storage.

Nope, no notification, and nothing in Settings->Storage (like I said in OP).
Just open your file browser and it's mounted and visible in 3 places;
/mnt/usbdisk
/storage/usbdisk
/usbdisk

Had to wait for some time, I guess it needed it to index the files or whatever, finally it's working.
Thanks for your awesome work, I really missed only the USB OTG storage support from the stock jop40d

What is your HD formatted in, FAT32 or NFTS?

How does this work with TWRP? Meaning, if a flash drive is selected as the destination, on a reboot of TWRP, is the setting retained?

@alias_neo, hit me up on PM... I'd like to work with you to get this to a better state... aka, NTFS & settings storage support... I'm not running stock right now, so I need someone to send me some files and test it!!

Yep that's right guys, as Craig says. If you want NTFS, go check out his amazing ROM, this is only intended for those that want to stay stock as possible.

[Q] connect as a USB mass storage device to the computer

Is there any way how to connect I9195 as a USB mass storage device to the computer, not only as "media device" or "camera"?

You could try SG USB Mass Storage Enabler from Google Play.
It works properly in my GT-I9195.

It needs rooted phone

I don't think there is any other way except to root it.

I didn't notice that SG USB Mass Storage Enabler is marked in Play Store as incompatible with GT-I9195.
However, in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888 there are alternative links to this app.

Did you roll back all old drivers, remove them in registry.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882942
Also, if you get the MTP error after this, go to device manger "type it in start"
Go to View
Select Hidden Driver
Go To Non_Plug and Play Drivers
Right Click on Hardware Policy Driver
Go To Driver Tab,
Stop this device
and Disable it
Restart Windows ( unplug phone first, disable network card also)
Disable WiFi or network card, (double tap)
Plug in Phone
Allow windows to load the drivers on your phone.
(don't stop this at all)
Look for phone.
Later you can add updated drivers if you would like. Remember windows keeps all old drivers, even if its jacked up. PnP will still run.
This works on Vista and above. haven't tested it on XP.
IMPORTANT
U must re-enable the change to the device manager after this, or each time you reboot it will reload the drivers.
Also if you want to search for old pics (assuming they were on your external card if you had one)
Use Recurva. To do this you will need a mini USB to card reader. They make them as UBS and camera card style. Then mount and recover. If not you got to rip open your phone, take out the HD, and using the correct connector, (use by) get a drive enclosure. It will mount the HD as a external flash drive. But only do this if you don't want the phone anymore.
later and I hope it helps

[Q] Need help solving this issue: Cannot find storage. Is SDCard mounted?

I rooted my Ouya and installed busybox. Then Xposed framework and finally the Play Store. I downloaded GTA III 10-year anniversary from the play store (because I bought for my tablet before). Anyway, I left it installing the 1,21 GB on its own and then whenever I try to play it, it says: Cannot find storage. Is SDCard mounted? with one button only which is Exit.
I replaced the vold.sftab file with the one from the USB fix hoping that it will fix the problem, but unfortunately it didn't. Am I missing something here? The game version is 1.4
Any help would be appreciated.

Try deleting the data and starting the game. It may download the data again and then work. I had the game working by simply sideloading it before I did any hacks, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[Q] Sharing hard-drive plugged into fire TV USB?

Is there an app that will allow me to share whatever drive is plugged into the fire TV?

Well, I spoke too soon.
It works well enough for transferring files through windows, but it doesn't appear to allow me to download via uTorrent directly to the fire.
Comes back with "Error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (WriteToDisk)"

Well... I got most of it accomplished, but I'm not able to access my external storage.
I'm able to access \\192.168.1.77\sdcard .....
but I can't figure out how to access the flash drive @ \\192.168.1.77\storage\usb\sda1\

Yeah I guess I'm just missing how to do the most important part here.... access the external drive??

lol ... okay ... so I was using Busybox to auto mount my USB drive and it had a path outside of the sdcard.
now that i'm using stickmount i can access it fine....
I'm no longer getting the errors in uTorrent and the failed downloads, but I'm getting a lot of "Disk Cache overloaded 100%"
Anyone else with this problem?
Also, is it possible to setup stickmount and samba fileshare to start automatically without popping open?

Never had that problem with Cache, mind you I only downloaded a few things from within XBMC.
I think it stickmount and samba fileshare will always start automatically, if you dont want to see the notification on the screen, you just need to turn that off from with stickmount and fileshare.

Can anyone tell me what is accelerometer bug??

Accelerometer is a sensor that defines a devices's position, so it gives you ability to use such functions as screen auto-rotation. And the bug is that sometimes this sensor stops working until the next reboot.

1-After format the SD with cm13, then how to back to normal SD?
2-Is right that if we use sd like part of system we can't use real system memory?
3-After formatting SD (with cm13) for using it like part of system, if we try to put it in PC and then back in the phone, it's real that the SD automatically delete all file inside it because was encrypted?
4-Can we store file like music, photo, video... on SD or it's only for app?
5-If for example i break my phone and put SD in an other phone what happen?
I know that are a lot of question but i hope someone can answer

1. Settings > Storage & USB > sdcard > menu > Format as portable
2. No, sdcard space magically adds to real internal
3. Of course no.
4. From phone: yes, photos goes there
From PC: unknown, because MTP broken now. But probably yes.
5. Data will be unaccessable because partition encrypted.
And formatted in unusual way - Windows anyway can't deal with it.
Card supposed to work only with ROM where was adopted (key stored)
UPD: it somehow works in other phone
You can format back it into FAT32 via Explorer or some partition manager.
Also seems this feature still semi-broken: large games won't install.
Maybe PecanCM can fix it.

Are you serious? I even successfully tried creating folder via it. Did you switched from Charge only mode to MTP? 'Cause in charge-only mode MTP device is recognized, but it is empty, without available storages. Or maybe for you it doesn't work because of Windows crappiness, lol. Linux is more friendly with Linux.

There are often problems with Android on Windows that are absent on Linux. I had irritating issues with UMS mode in TWRP when I was using Windows (more strange is that it worked earlier and then suddenly my PC went insane when connecting USB in TWRP with storage mode enabled), but on Linux it works like a charm. And it is not the only example of problems in Android-Windows "relationship".

Guys I flashed the rom and it booted as usual and i went to next page of the setup guide i.e. add wifi in that i tried connecting to my wifi but while entering the password it shows unfortunately, aosp keyboard has stopped after i removed my wifi password and connected then it goes again to the first page of selecting country and i repeatedly pressed the yellow icon to proceed to the next page but its stucked on that page plz help me guys and do i need to do anything else?

Oh, there are a bunch! Wondering how it'll fare with the Android File Transfer on Mac. �� At least, ADB works, right? I need to update a few of my apps to support Marshmallow since they removed the Apache HTTP client (Google, must you really make things difficult? I spent an hour yesterday writing 75 lines of code just to add dividers between RecyclerView items... SMH). I'll most probably be shifting back to Lollipop AOSP by tonight. Anyway, if MTP works, I'll update you guys...
EDIT: So, no. Unfortunately, doesn't work on OS X as well. I didn't really expect it to, but then I was hoping that since it was UNIX, it would.
EDIT 2: So, it works with OS X as well! I hadn't selected the USB to transfer files previously.
