Hello guys,
I was wondering if usb otg works on android one.
But as i tested with cable..it isnt working..
So i installed a 'usb otg checker' app from market.
The test gave me a positive result..that means the phone suppprts usb host mode.
But is disabled in kernel.
So my question is can usb otg mode be enabled WITHOUT rooting and changing kernel.
Cause i dont want to root my phone as am satisfied with the features i am getting and also waiting for official android update.
Plz help me in this topic.. Otg check result attached in attachments.
Thank you.
Hello, I got a samsung galaxy tab 2. I am very new to rotting and all that, i rooted the tablet using this guide and it has worked
droidviews.com/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-wifi-gt-p5110-on-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-firmware/
I am trying to accomplish two things with it:
One- Getting the OTG to work with it. It didnt work straight away with the adapter and I have had little luck finding a soloution. THe app USB OTG checker says I have the usb otg api, but when i plug in a usb drive it dosent recognise it. I think i may have to install a "Kernal" to fix this but i don'y know how to find one that is compatible and will work. (I am doing this for my mum so she can use a usb drive and i dont want to brick it)
Two- this is the main goal, to get ethernet connectivity on the tablet, i think the otg will have to be fixed first but i am not sure. I cant get it to work and apps that enable the ethernet connectivity like:
google.com/store/apps/details?id=xda.usbhost.test&hl=en
Require some kernal. I have su and busybox installed already.
I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 with android version 4.1.1 and kernal version 3.0.31 - 523998
Thank you very much if you can help me
Hi
As far as I can see, OTG support is already present with your tablet.

The best way to check possibility of USB ethernet is to ask in Q/A section

Good day !
So i got a bunch of on the go cables. And wanted to see what the stylus could do.
So far ive hooked a 160 gb otg hard drive. Works decently.
2. Ps3 control for gaming.
3 flash drives. Of coarse this works.
4. Usb ob2 interface for scanning automobile ecus. Works better than g4 if i might add.
5. A old logitech wingman joystick. Works on some flight simulators.
I also ordered a while back a fastboot cable for my kindle. When i plug in on ms631 from power off no commands needed boots straight to fastboot mode
Im gonna make a pair of vr goggles prob this weekend and see if this screens good enough for vr. Did it on my g3 and g4. And it was killer
How did you get you're OTG to function? I plug in a 8gb flash drive to mines and it doesn't work for me I'm using the T-Mobile version MM.
Nothing its reading natively. Try stick mount.
Ive been reading about loads of people haveing problems with it im looking for a fix.
But the phone most def supports otg verriefied from more than one site

Maybe the metro one dont have otg
Has anyone figured out how to get OTG to work on the T-mobile LG G Stylo with Marshmallow? Mine has the latest stock 20c software (H63120c). I use OTG with my FLIR One Android, my SDRPlay, and my RTL-SDR stick, and it would be sad if I have to still use my old Xperia Z for all that.

This page seems to say that adding the file android.hardware.usb.host.xml to /system/etc/permissions will enable USB host mode. Has anyone tried adding this file to a T-Mobile or Metro PCS Marshmallow phone? I haven't rooted my T-mobile Marshmallow phone yet, but I will if I root access will allow me to enable OTG.

Update: Has anyone with T-mobile or MetroPCS Marshmallow and root tried this app, or manually making the changes that this app applies, to see if it will get OTG to work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tauruslabs.usbhostcheck

So i was able to get OTG support enabled on the device but the phone doesnt send enough power to the micro usb so you would need an otg y cable to add external power supply like a portable battery

I haven't rooted mine yet, but I might now that it might be possible to enable OTG.
I gave up, and got a used "mint" LG V20 for cheap, which has OTG support built in. My LG G Stylo will be used by someone who has no idea what OTG is.
Besides "usb.host" to your permissions xml's, setprop "sys.usb.configfs=1" & "sys.usb.config=*" in dev options must be set right. Init.qcom.usb.rc told me what I needed to get mtp & adb working together.

It depends, some devices have the hardware to support OTG but they don't have the software to support OTG. These devices can add the software to support OTG then they can use OTG.
But some device don't have the hardware to support OTG, these devices can't use OTG at all, no matter what is modified. They just don't have the necessary hardware so they can't use it.
Your device might have the hardware but doesn't have the software.
You can try the Stick Mount app by Chainfire in PlayStore, if your device has the hardware to support OTG then this app should allow OTG to work.

Thanks for the info! It explained everything i need to know! I really appriciate that, thank you...
Hi all, recently I decided to give Nougat a try (again) but till now I still facing this problem: Stickmount doesn't work well with Lineage OS 14.1 7.1.2, when I mount my OTG, under /sdcard/UsbStorage/sda1 when I tap it it just say "Requested file path not found". Is there anyway to mount it properly so that I can get it recognized in other apps? I am using Solid Explorer, even it provides native USB OTG stupport, but other app cannot see the USB OTG and access it. But since Stickmount doesn't work, is there any other solution? It works great on Marshmallow thou. If there's no alternative then I might go back to MM again, because USB OTG is essential for me. I need other apps to be able to access the USB OTG too.
