That makes no sense. Probably why no one replied. Could you explain a littler on exactly what it is you are trying?

to my knowledge, the Android OS does not have USB host drivers in the kernel. So to answer the question, no android based phone would allow this. Also keep in mind that Power will be needed to drive the USB device, and the phone for sure won't provide that. So you would be looking at creating an power injector for the USB cable.
You might be able to pay/convince a developer to do this for you in a custom kernel, but that's about it.
I did find this where it was done with an HTC hero.. you might be able to work off of that work.

hey, i have a nexus 4 with android 5 and just flushed the kernel defcon-96u-unleashed-AOSP_mako.zip [which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...nel-ultimate-unleashed-kernel-series-t2845768 ] .
this kernel supports otg, and it comes with a "synapse" application [there i made a "v" over the otg enable option].
iv'e got a small micro usb external memory storage of 32 gb flat32 , and when i insert it to the nexus nothing happends.
i guess as you can all see im really new with this ^^...
please help me! how can i fix it?
Should be a y with an external power source but you should really ask this in the thread for the kernel

as said in the previous reply to your question nexus 4 requires Y otg cable. the reason is that nexus 4 hardware does not support powering devices via usb so you need a y cable to power your usb externally
You just need to flash a custom kernel you can try this ONE It has otg support and works on cm 11 and android L
I flashed that custom kernel , and there is an option for otg which i have enabled but nothing comes up when i plug in the external memory.
I dont think there is a difference between using simple microusb external memory and a regular usb external memory conected via y cable.
Please help me fix it ! , i really need that otg.!
Two posts above yours. You need a Y otg cable and external power source for your usb
Hello. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (GT-I9301I) with custom ROM installed on it (CyanogenMod 12). today I bought and USB OTG cable (Y type). I connected it to the power source, then plug the usb flash memory to the port and then I inserted the micro usb plug in my phone. And nothing happend (no notification on the status bar, nothing in file explorer). Any ideas how to fix this?
Link to ROM I installed:

But thats ridicolous. There are some videos on YT thats shows S3 neo working with mouse, keyboard, usb and even PS3 controller. Like this for example: www . youtube . com / watch?v=GQkBr78kF2k
Next, the original Samsung Galaxy S3 was reported to be supporting OTG so why the upgraded version shouldn't support it as well?
Maybe that's just a kernel issue. I haven't tried it on stock ROM but maybe I will be desperate enough to do it
Anyway thanks for your reply. For a moment I thought no one will ever look at this thread.

To make otg work yu need otg y cable and a power supply and yes otg is kernel related i hope it helps
I guess I should do it earlier but here is the pic of USB Y cable I was using. It is good? I'm not sure anymore I got in form a electronic store and they told me its an OTG cable.

If that's true then why the kernel with OTG function wasn't released?

I'll ask here instead of making a new thread, but I just bought the phone. Do you know how compatible the hacked OTG support is? (full compatibility or limited etc).
Limited - it will not work with every USB stick, seems random for me - two of mine are working, other two not.
It seems USB 3.0 not supported.
Since getting the phone, I haven't been able to use it in my car via USB.
I had previously had the OPO with Lineage OS which worked perfectly via USB with my cars head unit.
Is the stock rom capable of this or do I need a custom rom?

i think you need a custom kernel maybe ? this is what usually carries any missing drivers over the stock one
i saw a post of someone unable to connect a ps3 controller to his OP5 but after flashing a custom kernel everything worked fine

it'll be better if you actually ask more , or try anything more simple than that before jumping to it

I've tried setting it to Audio Source under developer options but on the head unit it just shows up as 'N/A USB device' whereas usually it says something like App control.

Sorry I didn't make that clear in the original post, I've already tried messing around with various settings to try and emulate what I had with Lineage OS as close as possible without flashing kernels or custom roms. I was just assuming I might have missed something on OOS since I'd been using Lineage for so long
Hey did you ever figure out what the issue is? My pixel and my brother's 6p work fine but my other brother's OP5 will not work over usb
have you tried turning on O.T.G, my usb cdla headset wont work unless this is turned on
