Has anyone tried an OTG cable?

Has anyone verified that an OTG cable works or not with Chainfire's stickmount on a rooted One X?
Has OTG been removed from the kernel or not?

Some users have commented it's disabled in kernel. I have not verified this but I have verified it works in fastboot. Issue is the port will not supply power, so pretty pointless imo.

Will kernel support allow the usb to provide power, or is getting sd card storage working fruitless?

I've read that it won't supply power, but not sure whether or not that's something we can control in software.

I tried a plain OTG and it didn't work.
I haven't tried it with a Y cable yet though. I'll see when I get home.

Shouldn't work as we don't have kernel support.

Doesn't work on any ICS ROM at the moment - why can't people read the damn threads before posting the same stupid questions over and over again?
Ignore this and see my post below and the ones from Skanob and Dan-Fish

no possibilities to access sdcard without using the bootloader?

I'm going to ask a really stupid question and risk looking like an arse.
I have read, over and over again, that USB Mass Storage isn't supported under ICS. I'm not actually sure that this is true. Assuming that USB Mass Storage refers to the ability to access your SD-Card by connecting your phone to your PC using a USB cable then it works perfectly with MIUI v4 and I'm fairly sure it worked with Fallout (although I couldn't swear to that).
There was some confusion in the early days as it wasn't supported on the Galaxy Nexus, but this is actually because ICS only supports UBS MSM on devices with removable storage - they won't let you access the 'internal' memory with this process.
If Primo doesn't let you access the SD-Card in that manner then it suggests a problem with Primo - maybe caused by not having the official kernel v3 available to build off?

Ice.Cream Saga is an ICS rom whic fully supports USB Mass Storage.

Works on all ROMs unless stated otherwise. I've tried it on fallout and it works perfectly

Ok thanks

USB otg.

Otg is the capability to run a mouse, USB and sometimes a hard drive via a micro OTG cable ... are there any roms that has that capability pre installed.??

Not currently. A few devs have mentioned adding it to their kernel but its still in the works.

8013 PROBLEM with OTG usb on Jelly Bean

Many of us with JB and 8013's are not able to us OTG devices on our Notes. I tested it yesterday with three different ROMS and none of them supported it. While on 4.0.4(ICS) everything was fine, not one issue. Are there any Devs that could help with this as I am not knowledgeable enough to do it. Thanks a lot!

Yes please, if one understand the working of the otg usb please help us.

Also Tried ROMN8000 DR AKRIM ROM N8000XXBLJ9 v06 27112012 Jelly Bean NO GO HERE EITHER
I also tried a stock JB update from Germany, NO GO EITHER.
so for me anything JB related stops OTG from working.

Well, I know you guys want OTG. I was just asking in general. I just wanted a stock JB Rom that is compatible with 8013. I won't be using OTG. Hmmmm stock JB update from Germany....i should try that.

i have an otg cable on the way, so I'll experiment when it arrives.

What are the advantages of using a OTG instead of the micro USB? So you can attach like flash thumb drives?

Otg gives you a supported usb drive.
So you can attach usb keyboard, usb mouse and a flash drive.

or a game pad.

or a umts modem... which is the problem:
I did look at the dmesg output, when I was under ICS mostly because of the current consumption, but also looking for the IR port.
I see now a big difference there, using the German JB 8000 Rom with the 8010 files.
Somewhat (perhaps a Init script) does load the OTG usb kernel modules, then load a usb modem (mif related to umts) and after a while there is a termination of a certain unknown pid, probably because of the modem not responding, which is then unloaded and also does switch off that OTG usb port and unload it's k. modules. Seconds later the whole thing is repeated again and again...
Surely also a reason why it's consuming more power, and probably the reason why other OTG devices have troubles.
I would like to help, but I don't know how android works on that (kernel) level, I had some knowledge about usb on linux 5 years ago, so I don't know how it has evolved.
If someone of you, Dear Rom Backers, could lead me to some (hardcore) knowledge about the whole startup(/wake) process.
I could investigate a bit more.
Other problem I did encounter with JB, somewhere a memory leak, my RAM slowly does fill up in a way, where I can't reset it, without rebooting.

OK I have my otg cable now, and can see the problem, but not the cause.
When I get near to something that can adb in I'll have a look, if anyones' got any pastebins of dmesg and logcat in the meantime please let me know.

this is using the 8000 rom on 8013 and 8010 devices, no idea if the issue is on 8000 devices, or whether it will be there on the 8010/13 firmware.

maybe it's conflict because people are flashing firmware that is not supported on their tablet, i sure hope that is the case.

Absolutely. I have an N8000 using the correct official N8000 JB firmware for the device and USB works perfectly. That's why there are different firmware versions for different devices - simple.
I have a small unpowered USB hub attached to a cheap generic USB OTG connector. I am typing this using a USB wireless keyboard and mouse and I have a Note 10.1 with 160GB of storage. 32Gb internal - 64gb using internal micro-SDXC card and 64gb with a second micro-SDXC in a micro reader attached to the hub (seen as a usb drive 1 so presumably can add more). That's 160gb seamlessly available in all programs for Video, Music, documents and whatever. Eat you heart out fruit-boys!!

Is it fixed in 8010 wifi release.

[Q] Any progress concerning USB-OTG on our beloved Optimus 3D?

Hi there!
I just wanted to know, if there are any news concerning the development of a kernel for the Optimus 3D which supports USB on-the-go (OTG).
Is there anyone working on that matter?
Thank you for all your great work!

edit:
I found a kernel from Pesach85 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35531644&highlight=otg+lightning#post35531644) for ICS.
Does this one actually support USB-OTG? Has anyone tried it?

At this time none of the available kernels supports usb otg.
Yet we have some great kernel developers (Pesach85 is one of them) that keep doing excelent job and might get there.

The lg nexus 4 officialy doesn't have otg,but someone made it work. And another BUT.... the only problem is that it can be used with a Y cable,with one end connected to the phone and one to the charger. Not like samsung,though its getting closer.

i ment that LG's do not support OTG Dunno why

Lg doesnt support it but generally the usb controller chip has the capability. Lg just choose not to make use of it.

O3d is listed as a compatible device on their site -- http://www.beyondusb.com/compatible . someone needs to test it.

Curiously, LG didn't want to use USB-OTG, and I excepted that it was intentionally disabled by the software, yet USB mass storage is also disabled (much to my dismay). I personally hate MTP, nearly useless for my purposes.
Yet, the OMAP4 CPU have multi-mode USB-OTG host port, so it may have to have it enabled by the registers. LG have rather odd habit of hiding things in the source codes.
