Hello all,
I am not sure if i connect a 500 gb usb external hard disk to my xoom through micro usb otg cable. Can anyone answer this? IF positive, I will buy a 500 gb instantly.
That depends.
I am running Tiamat manta ray 2.0.1 on UK MZ601 3g xoom and I can mount an external WD usb powered 500Gb drive over otg with no problems.For stock 3.01which I came from it didn't work.
I use usb otg watcher (available in market place) to mount and es filemanager to move, and copy and browse etc
Regards,

I have a new WD Passport Essential 750GB HDD that works fine with the Moto OTG adaptor and the USB Mass storage Watcher OTG app. My Xoom's configuration is in my sig.

You could try but that app I mentioned requires root and I'm not sure if stock 3.2 provides usb host mode support.
I'm still on Tiamat 1.0 and can read my WD 1TB HDD (NTFS) without issue.
I'm still in stock 3.0.1 uk and I can use my 500, 750 and 1T WD passports fine by mounting through terminal emulator.

Do I need a otg cable or can I use a mini usb to usb then a female to female connection and work that way. That's what I was using on ics on zarboz kernal. Worked fine with otg helper. But now I cant mount my memory stick
You need a real OTG cable. Once we get the kernelsource Im sure we will get a kernel that will support OTG over a normal cable again
So guys i read somewhere before that USB OTG cable only works with android 3.x and aboove because they contain necessary kernals needed to make USB work.......maybe that was the reason USB OTG wasnt working on stock rom........
has anyone tried OTG cable on CM10/10.1..??...maybe that might work.....
plz someone tell me if it works on our phone or not....i really want to connect external storages to my ace plus

there is no otg support in our hardeware
may be in future some other dev can do this but right now there is no way to get otg support
I finally made it with USB OTG HELPER and external power supply
But actually It only works with mouse and keyboard
And I really want to mount USB storage
I think there are some modules for it That I don't know
And I don't know also how to use them
Which modules should I use? and Should I just put them into kernel zip in thier folder and flash it again with CWM ?
Help
So, I would mainly like to use flash drives with my phone, but it'd be sweet if I could use keyboards, controllers, etc., too.
I've got an LG Volt 2 rooted with stock Android 5.1.1. I downloaded USB OTG helper, which gave me the okay and said I can use flash drives. It recognizes root access, says t6he storage module is live, and it's NTFS read-write supported. But whenever I plug in a drive and click "mount," it says Mount: No Drives found!
Anyone know how to enable USB OTG support on my device?
