Can the Kindle Fire 7”HD(KFTT) support the OTG?
Does anyone test it?
It didn't work for me. I'm not sure if that means it won't work. Could be the cable. I think the driver modules are loaded in the kernel. If it doesn't work for anyone else I think we'll have to wait till we can load a custom kernel.
Doesn't work. The OTG Usb cable I have works on my GS3 and on my Nexus 7 and does nothing on my kindle. Usb doesn't show up in es file explorer. The Nexus requires root so I assume the fire does also.

did not work for me either, i order the otg cable from amazon and i tried playing today. nothing worked i tried mounting usb for mass storage and ps3 or xbox controllers but they dont work either. eForCity Micro USB Host Mode OTG thats the cable i got.
I did get a Rii Bluetooth mini keyboard and track pad to work. I ordered a case with a Bluetooth keyboard. It doesn't help with storage devices but some peripherals.
I'm now rooted and can confirm that OTG does not work. I installed stick mount and the device does not read my usb drive or sun mouse

OTG fail
have tried several devices with my kindle fire 2 and an OTG cable. Nothing has worked as yet. I am rooted but still running stock rom (cyanogenmod unofficial didn't fire up) with play store. I have tried with different usb devices. 2 otg cables with stick mount.apk with a powered hub still no joy. Has anyone got any other ideas to get this to work?

Will the OTG for GS3 work with kindle fire 2. Thought the GS3 had an extra pin? Hope I don't sound like a noob
Maybe take a look at this for the KF2.

Interesting. I was wondering if it was a power issue. I'll have to round up a powered hub and see if I can get one of my usb drives to work.
Hi guys thought I'd start the year with a first thread OMG. (My mum would be proud- yeah right)
ATTENTION:
The following tasks were performed on a stock rooted 4.2.1 nexus 7 16 GB
NO 1:
keyboard and mouse... They both work surprisingly well together with a curser that looks strangely like another os out there.
No 2:
Connecting USB powered devices like ipod s, phones and others and charging them. (Not as effectively but suitable for emergency Facebook pokes) addon: some devices u can use for mass storage see no 4
No 3:
USB gaming devices... This is sort of a ongoing project for most manufacturers as with 'different hardware comes different responsibilitys'
(Getting a bit too OTT must be that shot I just had) anyway nexus does support it on some games go to play store and dwn load tegrazone.
No 4:
USB mass storage: because nexus doesn't mount new hardware automatically u have to get a app that will for nexus: nexus media importer and (ROOT) stick mount. Not the only but ones I use and recommend
I add some more in a bit depends how hungover I am LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR XDA *HICUP*

Stickmount is what I use, I even bought the pro vesion but it caused some double mount and unmount problems so Im just using the free vesion and no problems at all.
yeh I use stick mount as well. it is just easy to use.

I must be doing something wrong because my Nexus 7 won't read my 1 TB WD external hard drive. I am rooted with the stick mount app.

Is it a portable with seperate power?
What have you tried?
When noobs attack...in HTML.
Guys, I have seen people quoting that the nexus doesn't mount external drives via otg automatically.. But when I tried with ES file explorer under the /mnt I can see the drive contents and the MX player can load the videos without any problem..
Then what is all about the drive not mounted automatically.. Can someone explain.. BTW, I use paranoid 2.9 ROM..

Many of the aftermarket ROMs in here have this function built in. It is not something that comes in a stock ROM, but it also does not require root to get it working. I use an OTG cable I got off eBay on my unrooted stock N7 with the Nexus Media Viewer app from the Play Store and it works just fine at reading several of my USB thumbdrives.
When I try to connect mass storage with otg, it won't recognize exfat.

I'm using this keyboard on my nexus 7! And it works but after some time of inactivity it stops working. And I have to disconnect and connect the cable again.
I tested in my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I had no problems.
I'm using this app in both devices and the cable is also the same.
External Keyboard Helper Pro - Apedroid
Interesting. I use the same keyboard for my Bionic and RAZR Maxx while both are docked. Great keyboard for HTPC use. May have to try now on my N7.

Hi!
I've bought logitech keyboard k400 and for me sorprise it doesn't work with me NEXUS 10.
I've looked for in internet the solution or the motive but I didn't read anything.
Any help?
Is the app even needed? Perhaps the app is the source of the trouble?
I used a Logitech USB keyboard ("Internet 350 Keyboard" M/N Y-US76A) w/ 4.2.1 on the N7 via OTG cable - just plugged it in and it worked. No apps needed / no diddling of settings.
Didn't use it a lot though, so maybe I didn't use it enough to experience the same symptom.
The app is useful.
I think that the last night build of CM solved the awake problem of K400.
Didn't test that yet!

I'm using the last night build of CM 10.1 and still happens.
I'll test other keyboard.

Hey guuys, am new to this device. So i know you can mirror whats on the this tablet to an HDTV via hdmi cable.....my question is, is the reverse possible? mirror whats on the hdtv onto the tablet? My main reason for asking is i have seen usb android sticks that can be connected to an hdtv, so was wondering if these sicks would also work when connected to this tablet
No, it can't be done.

I have a Nook HD+ running stable 10.1.3 with a cracked screen, as shortcut can I use CWM to clone my system to a 32GB nook HD+?
I'd like to use the old 16GB as a backup as it is still use able.
Thanks
Yes you can. But since the second one is a clone of the first, it will have the same MAC Address as the first one and cannot be connected to your router at the same time. That can be fixed if you want after cloning it.
