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.

Hi I have a otg USB cable, how can I make it work with nexus s? Do I have to root it or even flash a custom ROM in order to do so?
Thank you!
You'll need to flash a custom kernel to enable the functionality. Check the dev section to see which ones support it (Matrix kernel is one of them, there are probably others but I haven't been to this forum in awhile). You'll also need to make/buy a USB Y cable and connect an external power source, because the Nexus S doesn't supply enough voltage from its USB port.
TBH it's not really worth the effort.
Hi all,
I searched all over and could not find anything similar...hence a new thread. Being a novice, I have recently got a nice Metropcs locked Huawei Vitria. It seems a popular device with positive reviews among the prepaid community.
Has any owners out there happened to try its USB OTG host capabilities? Mine does not work and when I tested with apps (OTG status, OTG host diagnostics, otg troubleshooter) all say it does not have the usb host driver support.
When I checked the device I noticed under system/etc/permissions a xml, android.hardware.usb.host.xml is misisng. I tried to copy and paste one into the Permissions folder but failed, saying it is read only.
Despite it takes microsd, it is just disappointing to see such updated device is crippled with otg. :crying:
Anybody knows if it is just os disabled? Is hardware OTG supportable? Anyway or workaround to make it work? Would a root help?
Anyone?

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.
Can anyone tell me if modification in kernel will turn usb otg working or not.
I know that otg is supported by hardware.
But in a nexus 4 moded kernel usb otg is mentioned to be working, i tried installing that but somehow it wont install.
