Hello
I was wondering what was the versio nof USB on the XDA Exec? is is 1.1 or 2.0
if it is 2.0 then i guess it could act as a USB host and access USB hard drives, correct?

Not really willing to root my Nexus 7, just wondering if a small usb card reader along with a USB OTG cable will work, with a non rooted Nexus 7?

No it has to be rooted, sorry.
Can you show me or redirect me to some instructions on how to do it?

I was about to post the very link that KUNITZ22 just posted. Just in case you don't know the developers forum is very strictly policed in terms of what can be posted. So if you want to start a thread with a query about it you are best off doing it in here (Nexus 7 Q&A)
And use search next time please...

USB OTG
How to enable USB OTG?
I flashed over a CM10 Kang which says that enables USB OTG.
But I cant get a USB to connect.
I have a rooted device with superSU and I am using StickMount app.
You think the OTG cable could be damaged or something?
Regards

It's easy, the only stinky part is you have to wipe your Nexus in order to unlock the bootloader (it's a security measure). The instructions are very easy to follow, but if you've never done anything like it you will have to spend a lot of time downloading various things like the Android SDK. Expect to spend at least an hour if you're a total newbie.

All I can tell you is that I rooted, installed [Root] StickMount from the market, plugged in my OTG cable from Newegg with a Fat formatted stick plugged in. It offered to open StickMount, I said yes. SuperSU asked to allow root, I said yes. StickMount mounted it (at a strange path under /sdcard/usbmount or something) and I was able to browse to it with ES File Explorer.
Should be that simple. Tap the notification to unmount and unplug it.

If you are still looking for a way to use USB devices, now there's a app on the Google play store to use without rooting your Nexus 7.
It's called "Nexus Media Importer" from HomeySoft
Here's the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ob21leXNvZnQubmV4dXN1c2IuaW1wb3J0ZXIiXQ..
ed.:
NON-ROOTED
Like suloch said "Nexus Media Importer" from HomeySoft works!
Tried it with a 32GB FAT USB-Stick, working good.
Couldn't find out how to show all data, but it showed me Pics, Video, Audio and Docs.
I was able to play a movie from the stick and there is an option for copying it to internal storage.
You can also unmount within the app
It didnt show the stick in ES Explorer...
Ohh, it seems you cant copy something from the Nexus7 to the USB-Stick :cyclops:
Thats stupid!
As Stupid as having no HDMI out...
But maybe the app for the USB-Stick will evolve...

Yeah, I am also impressed by this wonderful app. It once provided the similar solution on the issue of my gadget : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GLKI258
I believe you will be agree with me after a try.

Is there some sort of setting I'm missing? I cannot figure out how to get otg to work after installing smoothrom
After you plug in the OTG cable, use the Root Explorer app (or a similar one) to navigate to /usbdisk. If that directory doesn't exist, use the StickMount app from the Play Store.

I do have that but nothing I've plugged in works. I've tried usb drives, ps3 controller, and usb hub
try with another otg cable. not all are compatible. maybe you have an incompatible one which would explain why none are detected.

you can determine if this is the case if you *don't* see any kernel log messages (use the command "dmesg" or "dmesg | tail -n 20" in a root shell) that describe a new usb device being plugged in.
Hi guys, I am having trouble using the USB tether feature on my I9505, it is fully stock on 4.3 on build number MK8. All the USB drivers and Kies 3 are installed on my Windows 7 32bit laptop and i can see my device when i go to "Computer". I am using the original cable that came with my S4 and the USB tether is still not working, even the Wi-Fi hotspot is not working unless i use an app called "FoxFi". Does anyone have any idea how i can get the USB tether to work? I've tried using apps called "PdaNet+" and "EasyTether" and still nothing.
Year,..
i have this problem, too..
i have windows 7 - 64 bit,..
and all usb drivers does not work
or detected device..

You should have googled before asking such question,there was no need to create a new thread for the same topic
Your answer :
You need a y shaped cable, google it
You need a otg patched kernel, its in Android section thread by @justvarshney
you need a laptop.
Search for videos how to setup and how does it work.
