[Q] USB OTG? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Are there any working ROMs for our phones that have working OTG support? I know that our phones are "supposed" to support OTG hardware-wise, but I can never seem to find anything about OTG support with some ROMs.
Right now, my phone is on sniper's PACMAN ROM and OTG doesn't work..any suggestions for ROMs with OTG support? I kinda spent $10 on Amazon for my OTG cable, so I kinda want to actually get some use out of it....

Only one time was it working. It was a kernel made by zedomax. Back when this phone first came out. Never has it been able to be implemented again. So no sorry.

A quick Google search would tell you that it is not possible.

Otg will not work on our device. It is impossible because of the hardware.

I did do a bit of searching around, and saw various reports. I saw places where it said OTG works, but I never saw a definitive "yes it works"/"no it doesn't". So I figured I would ask anyway. I guess I have my answer now, huh?

It is not a hardware problem. There is video proof of a guy running OTG on his E4GT with a kernel he was building. He dropped the project though.

They say the warranty is up. Even HTC says they can't replace it. Is it impossible to do without the USB port?

you can not root without functioning USB port.
You can find a spare USB port on the net. They aren't that hard to replace. If you can't find a USB port try to find a posts incredible 2.

I ordered a broken inc 2 off of Ebay a while back. I had to replace the headphone jack. I found a tear down video on YouTube. Just takes about 5 mins of searching.

I just popped it open. It was really easy to tear down, now I just need the piece. The connector is fine, but the little mother board the usb port sits on is broke

Give it 1-2 months... when Note 2 came out, it took almost 2 months before they started building CM for it... though that's because it was Exynos 4 which caused a zillion problems building the kernel to make all the hardware work, and the ROM itself. Our Note 3 is Snapdragon 800 which is very easy to support, and with Samsung's kernel source already available they shouldn't have too many problems bringing it up.
I hope so, its sad to see no variety of custom roms so far

Any working method to enable mhl in kitkat

I may be kicking a dead horse here but has anyone found a way to enable mhl in KitKat, found my mhl cable laying around and got me wondering. I know it officially has not been on any other Roms than touchwiz. Thanks

Not gonna happen without Touchwiz I'm afraid.
If it could be done, it would have by now.
