OTG without APP - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys am looking for some way to add OTG support without downloading a seperate app to mount the USB something like how CyanogenMod does it.
Maybe some sort of flash-able zip or xposed module.
Thanks.

It can be done using custom roms or kernels. Otherwise, using apps.
Xposed modules ARE apps. Nonetheless. This wouldnt help you.

I am rooted using SlimKat's Rom on my Nexus 5. I use my Meenova (OTG) with no additional download application. I can view everything with a file manager. I use Root Explorer, but several others work fine. SlimKat & USB OTG work out of the box. Others will need an app like Stickmount or Nexus File Manager. Good luck..
NEXUS 5

Any idea what Kernels have Automount OTG?

Depends on what rom you're using. Best to read the op of all the kernels
I know chaos does but now its a CAF only kernel

AICP + n3ohammer or elementalX also has built in support for OTG...

USB host (OTG) on nexus S with ICS 4.0.3?

Anyone got USB-host to work on the Nexus S with Android 4.0.3?
I tryed to connect mouse,keyboard, usbmemory, Hd. But nothing.
Do I need to mount it manualy?
you think too much
No I just wanted to know if it possible?
im with 4.0.3
bump
Don't think that USB-host is compiled in to stock ICS for Nexus S.
There is probably a custom ROM out there that can do it.

Ezekeel tried to make it work for his kernel. Said it was missing a lot of files before being able to make it work. I'm not aware of any working OTG solution for the Nexus S yet.
Are there now more chances, to get USB Host working on Nexus S with it beeing enabled on Galaxy S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450298 ?
It would be awesome if it would work. There's supposed to be patches that are very generic according to some modaco post somewhere.

[APP][20-MAR][Project Closed] Galaxy Note USB Mass Storage v1.0 [Only for ICS]

Project is closed. Please read THIS.
What is this?
This is an application made for Galaxy Note running ICS ROMs - AOKP, AOSP, CM9 based, Codename, MIUIv4 Ports
(Tested on ICS Stunner and other ROMs, seems to work with all of them)
What it does?
It mounts your Internal and External SD Card on your computer in fraction of seconds.
Why do I install this?
Don't! Only for users who are struggling with mounting issues and copying files on their device in better way.
What should I take care while/after installing this?
It would require root permission. Grant it.
Do not use native USB mass storage.
Please do reply if it worked well on your Ice Cream Note.
This app comes pre-installed with ICS Stunner Beta 3 ROM.
This app is removed from ICS Stunner Beta 4 onwards as we have fixed complete native USB Mass Storage.
"Thank-You."
Reserved ... just in case.
Working fine !!
Installed and the system detects both the cards correctly within seconds.Also the read-write functions fine.
Currently on AOKP,earlier cards were not detected.
Thanks a lot!!!

Works with Midnote 2.0! Thanks!
awesome job!!!

If you tick usb depuration in development it does enable you to do the same but this is a workaround right?
Works like a charm on AOKP V3 M4. Thanks a bunch!

New Nexus 5 Owner, Stock VS Custom ROM

I bought a nexus 5, should arrive this week, to be activated on straight talk. Being a nexus 7 owner, I already know how custom Roms and kernels can help the device be more speedy.
Since the nexus 5 is already a fast device, is a custom ROM really needed? Or would xposed framework modules be sufficient enough along with optimized bionic and dalvik patches.
As for kernels, same question. I don't intend on over clocking, but is there any other advantage?
Thanks.

For me I'm happy with stock rooted plus xposed. I removed the optimized bionic and dalvik patches as I couldn't run asphalt 8 without it.
I use custom ROM but close to stock as possible, with a custom kernel for additional controls over hardware and xposed Gravity to customize layouts.
If you're going to change ROMS for speed, there's honestly no point. The battery, speed, etc, are all great on stock .

It's the same thing, xposed or custom, I prefer full package
I think the moderators will see this thread as a "best ROM thread"

Because it pretty much is.
Just check out the roms and read the first post and see which one has the features you want.

After getting the device a couple months ago, I was on stock with xposed and franco for the first month. I decided to try out some custom ROMs but ultimately came back to stock. Xposed gives me all the customization I need.
Xpose FTW!

I've had my Nexus 5 for about 2 weeks now. I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S4 that was rooted with Xposed & Wanam Xposed and several other modules. When I came to Nexus 5, I unlocked the bootloader, but haven't flashed any other ROMs yet. I am running stock KitKat with Xposed & GravityBox installed. I am loving it. Also using a few other xposed modules like Crappalinks, etc. Gravitybox does about everything I need and I think I am about to donate to get the newly added "light flow" like features. Great Module!
I am also running the Franco Kernel & have installed the optimized Dalvik & Bionic. Phone is smooth as butter. Of course I'm using the Donation version of Greenify also. I've read up on quite a few Custom ROMs, but right now I don't see any major advantage to flashing one. Gravitybox & other Xposed modules give me all I need. Samsungs Knox & and AT&T's locked bootloader drove me away from the S4. Even though I don't have a custom ROM right, I always have the option if something great comes out. N5 is great because it's so open. Custom Recovery was a big deal for me also. TWRP all the way! Good luck with the phone when it arrives. You are going to love it!

Thanks for all the feedback.
Not really trying to initiate a "best ROM" thread, just seeing if custom Roms are worth it.
On my nexus 7 I've found stock, elementalx kernel for OC, xposed, and the optimized patches worked best. Wasn't sure if this was also true for the nexus 5.
Looking forward to the phone!

[Q] System updates with custom kernel?

Hi guys,
With i.e. Franco kernel installed, will I be able to have official updates on stock ROM?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
No.
To further elaborate, any changes to /system will render updates useless. A custom kernel, having root, etc. You can however flash a stock ROM over your current install and it'll essentially have the same effect as updating.
So what would you suggest - in case of me going to root it and use custom kernel and dalvik, should I go fully custom or at least stick to atock rom and eventualy update it with fastboot?

I recommend fully customized. You'll have complete control over your device, be able to do things like multi boot ROMs through MultiROM, use the latest GPU drivers and the custom dalvik patches and kernels you are referring to.
It depends what you wanted. There are pretty rooted stock ROMs as flashable zips. This would be a Mich better (and easier) method than official OTA updates
Buy also, try custom ROMs too. There's a lot of variation out there.

What's the best most popular custom rom? wanting to root my nexus 5 for first time.

Hi, what's the best most popular/stable custom rom image? one that's based on marshmallow 6.0+?
Or better yet using the stock android that allows root, which i'm guessing requires a pre modded flash image.
Is this the correct way to root? http://wccftech.com/flash-and-root-nexus-5-on-android-6-0-1-mmb29k/
thanks
Yes sir should be good. There is many to choose from Pure Nexus, Chroma, or CyanogenMod.
Stability is real good with Cataclysm is you can still find it.

1. Read again and again
2. Flash again and again
3. Keep the one that fits your needs
CM based roms are pre-rooted so you don't need to flash SuperSU. BTW the mentioned guide uses outdated information. You should use XDA tutorials instead
