I've got CM13 so I can't use Elementalx Kernel. Are there other options to use the M8 as USB mass storage with apps like DriveDroid or StickMount?

Hey guys I've recently updated to JB and I'm running OneXDroiDed 3.1.0 which works fine but for some reason whenever I plug my phone to my PC it reads my internal storage as read only, I can't seem to add anything, strangely on recovery it does work fine. The biggest letdown of this is that my ROM doesn't update my music library or pics unless I take a picture with the camera. Has anyone experienced this? Could it be a kernel issue?
I think its not kernel related, i think its due to the fact that HTC removed usb mass storage out off jellybean. It only contains MTP storage. Media Transfer Protocol. Works fine with me btw.
But there are roms that enables usb mass storage again unofficial, like the Viper X

This ROM has usb mass storage and it just won't work. I don't know what to do to fix it. The ROM thread was closed due some themes problems. I'm not sure
Have you even tried a different rom with ums to test it ?
Hi... Since the time I upgraded my Laptop to Windows 10 its unable to detect the mass storage for any phone. USB Pendrives are working perfect but the phone storage is not showing up.
My phone is HTC One X and Redmi Note 4G. I tried several other phones as well.

because they don't have mass storage they have only MTP by default you will have Mass sorage only with custom rom if support mass storage or custom kernel with mass storage
Hi All
I have a stock unrooted HTC M8 and I want to be able to use it as a media source in the car. I bought a Pioneer MVH-170UI Mechless headunit radio and has a USB port that I can plug my phone in and charge it.
It seems to talk some MTP but it doesn't like my phone (Error 19*), it plays MP3s fine from a Samsung Galaxy S5 and iPhone.
My question is, if I convert my phone to GPE will I be able to use it as a USB Mass Storage or am I wasting my time ?
EDIT: After clicking post, I realised there is a Q&A and help subforum, apologies, maybe one of the mods can move it to the appropriate place.
* From Pioneer Manual
Error 19
Communication failure Perform one of the following operations.
– Turn the ignition switch OFF and back ON.
– Disconnect or eject the external storage device.
– Change to a different source. Then, return to the USB or SD source
I don't think M8 has USB Mass Storage mode in both Sense and GPE.
I have a dual USB/Micro-USB drive which works fine on my GPe M8 (Running SkyDragon rom)
Hope that helps.

OP is talking about the car's head unit reading the M8 phone's internal storage as USB mass storage; not the other way around (the phone reading an external drive).

You're correct, out of the box the phone will have no ability to mount in USB Mass Storage mode. USB Mass Storage was dropped by all of Android as a whole, a long time ago (Kitkat) in favor or MTP. To the frustration of many; the OP's issue being one of the reasons.
I though I saw a mod on the Viper ROM that allowed internal storage to be mounted as USB Mass Storage? But it was a long time ago, and the mod may be obsolete (not work on current OS versions). I may even be thinking about a mod on my old phone, the One X (EVITA).
Can option of CD Rom emulation in USB Mass Storage Mode, can be added to Nokia X kernel, using some patch or custom kernal?
it doesn't support otg yet, and you are trying for cd rom....!
Does anyone know of a workaround to get Spotify to download to an external USB drive? I've formatted the USB drive and am using it as internal storage but Spotify doesn't recognize it and seems to only download to internal memory. I have a 32GB Nexus 7 (2013) that's running Android Marshmellow 6.0.1 w/ Timur's kernel for dash installs. I can't seem to find any working Xposed modules to allow me to force it either. There seems to be an option in Developer Options for "force allow apps on external storage" but that doesn't exist on my version of Android. Is there a toggle I can run to get that to work possibly?
