What is the command I type in the build prop and where do I find the build prop. Also will the otg work natively or do I need an app to enable it

if exist change value 0 to 1
if not just copy past
# support USB Host
rp.usb_host = 1

You already use external power to power up your USB disk? Last time very few kernal support USB Host but can't remember default CM kernal support it. Maybe because I never try it.

Yes, I use the external power. The app named USB Host Controller shows S3C USB Host Driver found. And I also found the driver in the source code of CM 10. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_crespo/tree/ics/drivers/usb

[Q] USB OTG on CM12

I am using Oneplus one smartphone and flashed CM12 a couple of days ago. I cant use the USB OTG option properly. Updated to 31st Jan build and still go the issue. I am rooted and hence used a couple of softwares like Stickmount, USB OTG Helper and all and none of them solved my issue.
The exact problem is like this.
1. Can mount a USB but wont show in setting->Storage
2. Can access with a file manager.
3. Wont thus be able to unmount as there is no option at all like there was in 4.4.4 kitkat.
4. Even if you unplug it will give a message saying usb was not removed properly kinda.
5. After an instance this wont detect any usb and to do that you have to restart the phone.
HELP PLEASE!!!

USB otg helper has an unmount option, so once you're finished just open that app and hit unmount. The fact that it doesn't show up properly in Settings/Storage shouldn't really matter as long as you can access it with a file manager.

But USB otg helper keeps on crashing for both mounting and unmounting. Without a proper unmount the device won't recognise another instance in this case.

When your on the install window at bottom should have select storage.

Otg funtionality....

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

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.
http://rfexplorer.com/usb-host-mode/
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.

Yes it works. First download ES File Manager, plug-in flash to micro-usb port.
Open settings, Device connection, USB connectivity, Detect USB device.

Question Junsun Pro, I can't connect the unit to a PC

Hello I need help with my junsun pro. I tried to connect it to a pc to use ADB but nothing seems to work.
I tried with usb 1 and usb 2, but when I connect the cable nothing happens.... The pc doesn't detect the connection and the radio doesn't detect as well.
The same usb port works with usb sticks and phone. I don't understand the problem.
I have already enabled usb debug (via developer option and secret menu).
Another important problem is that the usb settings menu doesn't work, so I can't change the usb connection type....
Is there a sort of block?
if your on a samsung use odin!

Connect both (PC and head unit) to the same WiFi and just use:
ADB connect 192.***.***.*** on your PC to connect. (Use the IP-address from your head unit instead of ***)
You don´t need the USB connection.

Well... Logcat saves all files in the same folder, so why do you want to change that?
It´s easy to access, so there is no need to change that.
BTW:
I use FX since a couple of years now on all my units and never had any issues to find logcat files at all.
Hello, I don't know if you still have that problem or not.
But the fix I had for my exact same problem to access ADB was to click the 3 dots inside the dev options (up right).
And then select the other option. They are both typed in Chinese, but what you should do is that first change it:
Connect your USB to the laptop.
Try: adb shell with both USB ports, it will work with one of them.
