OTG - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Is there a pro-grammatically way to enable OTG option for android mobiles ?
in case not , is there a guide(user manual) for user to enable OTG per models .
Appreciate your help & support.
Thanks,

Some devices have the hardware required for OTG but do not have the software support, these devices can add the software and then enable OTG functionality.
But...
Some devices do not have the hardware that is required, these devices can not enable OTG functionality even if you install the software.
So, first, you need to verify whether or not your device has the hardware to support OTG.

Atrix USB Android API support

Is there a Hack or ROM to get the Atrix 2 to support Android API in USB host mode?
If there isn't (as it seems after some reaserch), could someone write a hack or add it to their ROM?
You would certainly get my Thanks and donation...

If it was possible it would be pretty hard... to begin with, USB host mode is only supported in Honeycomb+.

Hello. I would like to ask if any of you knows if NTFS support would be able for our device. I did a little bit research but if I understood it right only devices that support OTG would make it work. thanks in advance

USB Controller Support? (6039y)

I've tried an Xbox One controller via an OTG cable but it isn't recognized by the phone. Is it possible to implement USB controller support via custom firmware or is it something we have to ask Alcatel to provide?

The version of the xpad driver shipped with this version of the linux 3.10 kernel doesn't support xbox one controllers.
https://github.com/TeamRegular/android_kernel_alcatel_msm8916/blob/dts/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c
The driver is about 2 years old. If someone has a custom stock kernel available you could ask them to pick the changes here I just made for latest xpad driver from upstream
https://github.com/TeamRegular/android_kernel_alcatel_msm8916-stock/commits/cm-13.0-xpad
Thanks for the reply, there doesn't seem to be any custom kernels available for the 6039y so far (atleast here on XDA), maybe that'll change in the future but I'll have to wait it out and ask nicely when one arrives.
disregard this post, information gained after a bit of lurking on Github.

I have a generical green asia controller which works in my Tab S. However, my Idol 3 5.5 doesn't detect it, i have read that may me because a lack in a file called joydev.ko. I'm trying to compile it with a tutorial from XDA, any idea on how to make it to work?
PD: Sorry for my bad English.

Does lsusb via terminal emulator show the device's pid/vid? If so or if you know the pid/vid please post them.

My interest in making the gamepad to work in the Idol 3 5.5 comes from this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.killig.gamepadime&hl=es, as the developer states that if the kernel has USB host mode and joydev.ko support it works.
I have found some modules here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987482 in XDA.
Please, let me know if you need some more information. I appreciate your work and effort.

Hi,
it would be enough to ask one time ,
but actually I have no test opportunity for this.
It could be, that it isn't actiavted in our kernel and not implemented at all, I will check on this later and could offer you a test version, which device do you own?
And which ROM do you want to use with midi support?
My device N8010 version does not matter to me. android 7 can be silim rom. thanks
Please test this version:
Slim-n8010-7.1.2.build.2.12-HTML6405-20210212-1006.zip | by html6405 for Galaxy Note 10.1 Wifi

I've included the permissions for midi,
you can enable midi in the develpher settings (usb configuration).
thank you so much. I will try it as soon as possible.
I tried midi but still can't select midi. When you select the midi option, it goes to "charging" part. Didn't have a midi
When I connect org with midi it still did not see
