This is from my g3 with lollipop 5.1.1
I know we have OTG but you have to use Stickmount or a kernal for it show or get to it and not only that the system still doesn't show that it is mounted.
I was wondering if this is can be implement to our nexus 6 roms? Since we don't have a SD slot, I Would assume it would be a lot easier for apps to see it instead of use of Secondary App .
I believe you can use otg usb with es file Explorer... Without root or a custom kernel

Of course it *can* be implemented.
I use OTG with my stock rooted N6 just fine. ES file explorer lists it as an option under local. Other programs happily launch the file from there. For example if there is a movie I want to watch without bothering to move to the N6 it gives the option of launching it on my MX player. I can't think of a scenario it is not allowing me to do. It sounds like you want it to mount directly within the filesystem. True that might be nice but for my use not all that necessary.
It can be. I expect slimLP will have it when its fully featured, like they always have. Small change in fstab (RAMdisk) and an OS change to show it in the storage menu.
That s really sound promising I hope so I dont mind the work around just trying to have the most stable way possible

I have had my windows phone for a couple of weeks, the HTC Surround. I went to the AT&T store and was looking at the Captivate. Did some quick browsing and to my surprise everything worked. I loved the icon format, the animated background, the ease of navigation, the multitasking, the sound was ok, it looked like flash was supported. I did not get to view any movies but the screen looked good. So I am thinking about exchanging my Surround. But I need a few questions answered.
1. Are there many available (free) apps
2. Does the software convert movies, and is the movie player included
3. Is there a FM radio built in
4. what is the available storage
thanks for any help

The phone running 2.1 does not support flash 10.1 but there are froyo roms in the development section that do.
The android market has many free apps.
The stock video player supports many formats but if you need to convert I'd suggest handbrake.
Currently there is no FM radio support and I'm not sure if there ever will be.
16GB internal and an external micro sd card slot.

3rd party apps?
Is the phone open for 3rd party apps or just the apps thru AT&T?
Is there an IRC chat client or a police scanner?
What about video news and AM/FM talk radio apps?
Any GPS apps?
thanks
You can sidelad apps if you read a "how to" here in XDA there are also more than 100,000 apps in the android market and I would say that at least 40,000 are free, switch to android, wp7 will die soon, plus the captivate will have true expandable storage. Seeing as how you can't even get official WP7 SD cards and u can use any SD with android.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
got it
AT&T exchanged my Surround for the Captivate (Galaxy S) today. So far very happy. Better everything except the Surround had more sound, but its an OK tradeoff. I liked this phone the moment I saw it. Plenty of free apps, there's even an IRC client. Thanks for the advice. I'll be hanging around here learning the phone

rooting phone
OK I got handbrake...not sure what is the right extension and resolution is best or what it will allow.
Does rooting your phone reset the phone back to default or do your settings and programs remain intact?
I enabled USB debugging mode, and now when i go back to the USB menu I now see 4 options (kies,media player, mass storage, and ask on connection)...is that right?
When i connect and choose media player the phone appears on my PC...if i choose mass storage, a new drive letter appears but i cannot access the phone...maybe it is becasue I dont have an SD card installed?
After rooting, should i delete the update.zip file on my phone?
thanks
Rooting gives you access to system files and folders. Nothing is lost unless you do a factory reset or master clear.
I know that the moto x lost the native otg support with the kitkat update, but we still can access otg via a third part app. I bought a meenova today, and i want to use for expand my music libray. I was wondering: the use of these apps is an incovenient, or is good just like the native on jb? And, can i play the songs in the sd card with poweramp? There's a resolution to bring back otg suport on kiktak via root?
Please answer me, sorry for my bad engliesh.

I just got a Meenova last week, and I installed Chainfire's StickMount app. I did end up purchasing the paid version because the Meenova would never unmount. The paid version of the app can kill whatever app is preventing the Meenova from unmounting. It works great now. I just connect the Meenova, and it shows up as a folder that I can access through ES File Explorer. You should be able to play music files directly from that folder, although I have not tried it.

Root is required, right?

Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned that, although it is pretty clear by the fact that the StickMount app has "[root]" in its title.

Yeah, that's why i asked. Thanks, anyway.
Hi everyone, I've been trying to fiddle with my CIFs network hard drive shares to see if there was any way to virtually mount them so that the Gallery sees them as though they were on my SDCard locally. I know that with kitkat it is required that you use a kernel that supports CIFs and as of Dec 6th, AEL (I use the TMo variant of the Note 4) supposedly supports CIF's network shares.
I have been able to successfully mount them using CIFS manager in the play store but when going to browse within any file explorer the folders show up but they are empty. Does anyone have any other ideas? I would love to be able to use the VR Gallery to browse 3D files stored on my PC as I have a rather extensive selection and having to copy back and forth on to the micro SD is a slow and tedious process. Hopefully this feature is added in the future but for the time being I'd love to get some ideas on whether or not we could possible get files to stream over wifi from a file server.
I've been wanting to mount a CIFS/SMB share so that I can use apps that can't normally access a network folder. File explorers can allow one particular file to be opened, but I can't do something simple like shuffle a playlist for a music player or navigate to a particular book using an app's library management features. I saw that CIFSManager was an option, but I don't know if the Droid Turbo has any kernels that support it. Is there a custom kernel that supports it, or is there a way to add that functionality to an already existing kernel?
I have been using this device about 1 month and the only problem i faced is OTG. Yes is support but not completely and not useful enough. It support only fat32 natively and not read files directly on usb device. I mean it is emulates in internal memory, first copies on background then runs. As a result it works very slowly, not possible to add .srt files on movies, can't reach my mp3 files poweramp etc.
Is there any solution of this problem
Btw i am using MIUI global 8. I wonder is there same issue on CM roms or any other roms?
