I recently installed CM11 on my KF. I've been trying to access my USB flash drive through an OTG cable but have had no success. I've tried Stickmount and other USB OTG apps but none seem to work. I've searched the forums but have not found a definitive answer.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

I believe it's otter. I got the ROM file from cyanogenmod with file name cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-otter.zip. I'm admittedly a novice, so I hope that addresses your question.

CM11 should support OTG usb host, but haven't really haven't tried.
May need a powered usb hub or a y-otg cable

I've not been able to find a Y OTG cable locally (it's the one with the extra micro USB female port, correct?). So I'll probably have to purchase online. But I would appreciate it if anyone can confirm that this would work without any additional software modifications on the device. Many thanks.

Hey. I am about to buy the G TAB 10.1 . As far as I know there is an adapter that convert the charge port into a USB port. My question is, there is any USB hub for it , so I can connect more than one device to the Tab?
From what I've read it would have to be a powered hub I think.

I have ordered a USB adapter but there is only one out on the adapter, I will try it with a USB hub if it works I will let you know

my item has just arrived and works perfect with usb hub

have you been using a powered usb hub?
I am wondering how much the tab can handle, have a feeling that a powered hub would be wise?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk
Yes, use a powered USB hub. That gives you the ability to use external HDDs, which require more power than the Tab can provide on its own. Also, if you have a USB mouse (or bluetooth mouse) you can connect that up too. Works like a standard mouse.
As an FYI: if your drive is NTSF you will need additional support to get your drive to be readable by the Tab.

Yeah, so you have "2.6.36.4 - OC-VFPv3-d16_FP 1.4GHZ - Galaxy Tab 10.1" then, I reckon, since that's the date on the thread. That's what I'm using.
So you need to go to http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and cursor down to this:
HC 3.2:
lib-2636.4_ux_hc32.tar.gz (Kernel Modules)
Download: lib-2636.4_ux_hc32.tar.gz
Download that lib-2636.4_ux_hc32.tar.gz file. This contains the ntfs.ko module. Extract the ntfs.ko file out of it.
Oh, yea... copy the ntfs.ko file to "data/local/modules/". You may need to create this directory. I've never needed to worry about changing permissions...
(FYI - I use File Manager HD which gives root access and read/write access. It's free unlike Root Explorer.)
Then if you go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448933.
I posted (#2) about some support apps you will need (Terminal Emulator and a NTFS mounting app). Open the attached image file - this shows the commands you need to enter in Terminal Emulator.
Run the mounting app and you should be golden.
If you reboot you need to follow the process again from Terminal Emulator.

I installed the paid version and my flash drive works great, but the mouse doesn't.
EDIT: It was the mouse. When I tried with another mouse it worked.
I won't delete this because others can have the same problem.
I have found a way to use otg in s3 neo plus without the need of y cable or external power source. Otg device will get power from your s3! First plug in your otg cable (use normal otg cable not y cable) don't connect anything in the other side of otg cable for now. The go to terminal and execute this commant in super user mod.
echo "1" >> /sys/kernel/debug/regulator/8226_smbbp_otg/enable
you will hear a sound. Wait 2 second.now connect your usb device to otg cable. And you otg device will get power from phone. And when you are done using otg execute this code in super user mod
echo "0" >> /sys/kernel/debug/regulator/8226_smbbp_otg/enable
Don't forget to execute this code or your phone will not charge while connected to charger.
And i used otg using stock kernel.
If you face any problem or this doesn't work reply me i will try to help.
And if it works then reply and let others know.
Finally now I can use my OTG cable! ^_^

not working on stock rom
tried on s3 neo dual sim
yep it did worked, i just tested in my sgs neo + GT-I9301I running PHN latest Stock Firmware.
Thanks a lot for all the work and effort coz it's an awesome things that we'll be able to do that without external power.
the only thing is that, it's only ES FILE EXPLORER that can manage to find and give me access to my flash drive ... but the stock file manager, mixplorer, root explorer, don't detect the device at all !!!! so i was wondering if there is something special i should do.
otherwise for other non storage devices (mouse, keyboard, game-pad) get detected automatically

When you connect the flash drive you will get prompt for allowing es file explorer to use usb device. Don't click ok,click cancel. And if you have ticked use by default then goto es file manager app info and click clear default. Your usb device will be mounted by system (same as external sdcard ) you can check it in settings - general -storage. And one more thing if you flash drive is formatted in ntfs it will can only mounted by es file manager. System can only mount file system like vfat exfat fat32 etc. As far as i know.
Not working on my device at all. No sound nothing. And my phone is charging even without disabling. What's wrong
Using the stock 4.4.4 rom

maybe I'm wrong but I think it's ur stock rom
to my knowledge there is no 4.4.4 ROM for the GT-I9301I, up to date stock ROM so far is only the 4.4.2 ! so I'm a bit curious
I tested with usb flash drive,external hard drive,zaza remote,mouse,keyboard and joystick and it is working good.

Now there's an option to enable or disable the USB OTG function, you can find it in the settings. Try that.
It worked! Thank you.
