Because USB OTG is not supported by Samsung on this device. Only Novafusion's ROMs have it at the moment, but it's still in beta.

Our hardware support USB OTG but not the kernel you have to use a kernel that have USB OTG support

otg will be support if you flash atleast ics and a kernel which support it

Maybe because the devices need more power than our mini can give.

Yes cm10 supports otg . You can connect external storage (eg. pen drive , not so hungry memory card readers etc). You can also connect external hard drives but you would need a powered hub in between . All the best .
What kind of cable do you use?

Not working on GT-S5570 with Cm10
is not working,
i just update and install "Usb Host controller" and the message is :
"USB Host controller

S3C USB Host driver NOT found!
Root hub is not present, USB Host mode not active or not available!"

I know I'm jumping in late here, but I can't seem to get anything to work... tried cm10.1 and 10.2 with every app that claims to allow for usb otg and can't get a pen drive to work. Any chance you could be tell me the model of usb key you used that apparently worked thinkinggood?

How to change the Xperia Z JB4.2.2 statusbar transparency level?

I'm also interesting with that feature, i've found for the JB 4.2.2 that's croping all the time the real resolution of the full HD screen that's annoying, especially when connected through the HDMI/MHL cable on the TV.

To use Tickle My Android, you will need:
- a rooted Android phone or tablet with USB Debugging enabled and ClockworkMod Recovery installed ,
No Thanks, i don't like CWM.

i9000 have OTG support by hardware. But it is need external power and kernel software support. Kernel by HumberOS have OTG support, but it is buggy, i try it, but not success. USB host is found but cant mount usb flash drive. USB OTG work fine on some JB and KK kernels, like in this videos:

oh i see. i want to connect flash drive or cardreader with OTG. because my sdcard slot is broken so i just have internal storage.
but thank you for the work to bring Marshmallow to our legacy SGS.
Hmm, I think it doesn't work on the most roms because u need support in the rom too, not only in the kernel.

No. Usb OTG support is depend from kernel only. Also some software is require. Like Usb Host Contriller and Paragon NTFS mounter.
It will be great if Code Rom will have CM12 themes supporting. If it is impossible, then will be good add full black theme.
Wish you success dear Jeffrey

OTG ethernet and camera

Hello,
I hve p8lite - ale-l21 - with stock rom. Is there any chance to get working OTG here?
I would like to use USB ethernet adapter if thats possible
Also i have bought small camera on ebay - I really need it for preview purposes. Is that possible to use?
I have heard about problems with power on other devices. I also have bought cable with another usb plug for power feed.
But I see in app that there is no support OTG. How can I enable it?
regards
I tried to connect mobile HDD, mouse, even pendrive, all with external charger but it never worked. P8 Lite doesn't support OTG.
No one has managed to enable it during last 2,5 year, so I guess it's impossible.
ah, thank you for your reply
Do you know any other device where OTG would be work OK ? I would like to have portable network-diagnosis set (ping, tracert, etc basic tools) in pocket...
I also have BT keyboard.
There is no otg on p8 lite ale. No hardware suport, means no power supply through usb and is disabled in kernel.

There are a lot of phones that support OTG. Just check any phone spec sites, they usually tell you if a phone supports OTG.

It's actually enabled it Kernel. It's disabled in System software. You can flash the P8 Lite ROM with P8 Lite Kernel on Honor 4C and enable it in systemsoftware and it will work fine. My sister has one and I did that.

Yes!
I think is possible to use it but with a Y usb cale.
P8 lite doesn't power up on plug
.
Ah, it looks very optimistic.
You have stated that it needs Y cable - which I have had ordered in last weeks.
So, is there any chance to have OTG working when connecting with another power source with the OTG cable?
I have stock ROM - latest one - with root.
Should I change this, or maybe trying on this one?
