I noticed someone wrote an app to mount USB mass storage devices "[root] Stick Mount", I wonder if it is probable for an app that allows HDMI Out through that port?

Hi there,
I was wondering if Android devices had their linux kernel built with USB Mass storage support enabled.
What I mean is I would like to connect an external hard drive to my Samsung Galaxy S, mount it from a root console and see its contents from the phone.
I've seen there are very cheap USB adapters on the market (type A female - micro USB type B male should do the job).
Would that be feasible?
Thanks.
To connect any slave device to your phone you need to have Host USB support. As far as I know Galaxy S doesn't have this and can work only as "slave device".
If I purchase a female to female adapter and plug a device (such as usb memory stick) into the cable will the transfomer recognize it and be able to mount it as a disk ?
How about other devices such as keyboard ?

Hi!
I've rooted my Ace2 and tried to get USB OTG to work in order to connect external storage and to use DSLR Dashboard. USB Host diagnostics gives the following information (s. attachment). Neither external storage nor DSLR dashboard works. Is there a way to activate USB-OTG by editing config files? In that post I've read that the /etc/volt.fstab hat some lines commented out related to USB OTG.
EDIT: Replaced wrong screenshots
Any ideas? Wrong forum? Any suggestions?
You are using a specifically OTG cable to connect?
The cable must ground the ID pin on the USB connector of your ACE 2.
Many devices will work correctly (and automatically) when they receive the interrupt from the grounding.
See if you can get a USB keyboard to work first.
I used this (Amazon de Product B0068CEUAA) USB OTG cable.
I am not sure but in another post on xda I read that one need a new kernel where usb otg support is compiled in. I checked dmesg while connecting an usb drive, nothing happens there.
Has anyone with any USB OTG cable got this function to work on the Ace 2 (GT-I8160)?
I was about to buy a USB drive to use with my Moto G.
Just wanna know what is maximum storage capacity supported by USB OTG.
32GB or 64GB?

USB OTG just makes a device's USB port act like both a host and a client/gadget/whatever, so a USB flashdisk connected through USB OTG will act just like on a computer - as a mass storage device. This means there is no limit to the USB device's maximum storage on the phone's side.
I am wondering, because it would be awesome to build some kind of dock and convert Nexus 5 to laptop. Does anyone know if it's in any way possible to use an external screen with USB OTG hub? Does anyone know how to make that possible?
I have already running USB HUB that is able to charge N5 and use keyboard, mouse and usb flash stick. Only thing that I need is an external monitor.
