I might be wrong but that's a question you should ask your rom developer instead.

Connecting usb to Gt-p1000

Hi all,
Can I connect my pendrives and hdd to my GT-P1000 device using usn connection kit or so?
I have read that to connect external drive to our tab. We require tab to avt as host device instead of slave. How can I do that any idea?

by default i don't think you can do it. You will need custom kernel. Check the development thread for custom kernel. I use hyperdroid ROM with its custom kernel. Enter is a link to the kernel on its thread. Maybe that can help.
Otherwise check the cyanogen ics ROM. They may have something up their sleeve.

USB otg ROM dependent?

Hey guys, is USB otg ROM dependent or purely root dependent ? I ask because I am hoping my ROM doesn't support it and not that this cable I JUST purchased doesn't work >< BTW running jr6

Just root. Or, you could use Nexus Media Importer sans root.

Need root like what listeruk says. You could however use stickmount, then it will show up in your file explorer as usb. Links here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdGlja21vdW50Il0.

Stickmount from play store works on stock rooted

Here is an option for non-rooted device.

StickMount not needed?

So I run a CM10 nightly with franco.kernel r25. My USB drive mounts without the need for StickMount.
This is purely a curiosity question. I can DirectoryBind without issues as well.
So is USB support built in to CM? I didn't see USB storage as a feature of franco.kernel.
Thanks XDA!

Most full featured roms for the n7 will have this built into it. I have never used stickmount with any rom and external sds have always worked

I'm using smooth ROM but when I connect a USB flash drive it doesn't connect even when I try to use stickmount but nothing any help would be greatly appreciated. Also could it be a certain micro USB cable?

Woops, accidental thanks. Freebie to you!!!
Anyhow, youn said micro usb cable. You need an otg cable. Is that what you meant? If so, yes, there are different types of otg cables that work on different devices and not on others. You need to make sure yours is compatible with the n7.
OP- It is called "Automatic usb hotplug" support. It is not really a rom feature, but a kernel feature. M Kernel a24 now also supports this on 4.2.1.
