Just wondering if this is possible? I have my otg cable and Usb drive but can't find a way to properly save apps to the usb. I have the 8gb and really just use it for games and with some games needing a gb or more of space this thing filled up quick. Thanks for anyone who can help.

Apps and game shave to be installed on internal storage. I dont think it is possible what you want..

To clarify, you are asking to add external storage memory, not random-access memory.
yes, you can easily attach an external USB Mass Storage device using a USB-OTG adapter. You will need root access to "mount" the filesystem.
This is the cable I have. It works with my Galaxy Nexus as well: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...e=UTF8&qid=1343663346&sr=8-1&keywords=USB+OTG
This is the app that makes it SUPER simple to mount/unmount USB devices. It requires root access: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount&hl=en
That is the exact answer that I was looking for.
another option other than rooting and using OTB adaptors
you can also access WiFi storage devices, like the Seagate Goflex wifi storage, which has 500gb of storage
you can also get the Kingstone Wi-Drive, which comes in 16-64gb in size
these you can access with multiple devices at the same time, fast enough to stream movies, and no root needed.
You could also use external memory as swap, which is effectively a low-speed RAM. Not recommended though.
Can you run games or apps with otg stickmount???

So i just got my 8gb Nexus 7 and i LOVE it, although 8gb is not very much i figured a usb otg would do the trick.
My question is, can i run applications from a USB thumb drive? ive downloaded 2 games (Batman and Max Payne) and i'm left with a meager 1gb left for other apps.
No. This can store files on the USB device but apps which are installed are installed in main memory.

If this phone has no SD card slot, how will I transfer all my stuff from my other phone to the N4?

Transfer to computer, computer transfer to phone via MTP (data transfer protocol that works out of the box on Windows).

Google Drive? Thats what i use or airdroid.
Serious question?
Use a computer, bluetooth, cloud service, etc. There are many ways to do this as people have been transferring files since long before SD cards were around.
...a USB cord?
Tapatalk² from my Optimus V
AirDroid (via any browser on mac\linux\windows\other)
via microusb (MTP)
google drive, dropbox, box, skydrive and so on
bluetooth?
Common sense? General understanding of technology?
I wouldn't even buy this phone if I didn't know how to transfer my files onto it..
Airdroid is the easiest option
Part of taking the market share away from Apple, means doing a bit of hand holding along the way. Especially since they aren't used to having options like USB file transfer...or any options in general.
Not referring to OP in particular.
Will I be able to transfer stuff from PC to phone or vise versa without a SD card

YYEEESSSSS!!! An sd card is not required. If you are using android now. take your SD card from your phone you are using right now. Put it in your computer (sd card slot or use usb sd adapter). Plug your N4 into the computer with the charging cable. Drag and drop everything you want to transfer to the N4. or just install airdroid on both phones. It is real easy
Hello there, I'm currently looking for a usb OTG cable, will get to test one later this evening.
I have a question: What do i need to do to set up the storage on the tablet side? Do i need to get an app that configures the new storage or is it just plug & play. I'm asking because I will try to test the cable to see if it works. Can I just use Solid Explorer to access the external storage after i plug in the usb cable with the attatched card reader and 16gb microsd hc class 6 card?
My nexus7 3g is rooted, currently on Jr4 Rom.
Oh and another thing.. is the nexus7 limited in terms of microsd size and speed class ?
Thx allot.

Get StickMount from the market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount&feature=search_result
Plug and Play
Use a file manager to find it
Stickmount is the way to go, but you must be rooted. The Nexus Media Importer app lets you access external storage as read-only. You have to pay, but don't need to be rooted. I'm using a 32Gb microsd class 10 and it works great as read/write and streaming with Stickmount.
64GB Sandisk microsdxc the N7 will read if microsd card formatted in NTFS using stickmount. Mine works fine.

I think I will manage to use it without stickmount.
I'm running a kernel that sais it will automount hotplug usb support. Does this mean that it will automount it just like stickmount pro does?
didn't actually get to test that OTG cable yet, maybe tonight.
Also, what do you think of the Rescan Media app? it's supposed to start the Media Scanner service on android and inform mx player and winamp about the .avi and .mp3 files on your sdcard or flashdrive.

I tryed and still can't get it to work?
I guess I have to change ROM to get it... Do you now is it possible on CM10?
Yeah stickmount pro is the way to go, my 500GB portable Samsung HDD works fine but wouldn't on my Galaxy S3 until I flash Siyah kernel again, I use Trinity kernel on my Nexus 7 and no problems
OTG cable - External HDD or whatever you use - stickmount pro and away you go.

I'm using "nexus media importer" on my unrooted device. It isn't a free app but if you just want to try it before buying, you can try the dev's free app "gallery connect preview". Make sure your usb memory stick has pictures on it . Open the app before connecting the usb stick. I had to try a few times till the app recognized my cardreader and sd cards. Without root i can't change files on the external memory, but at least i can watch movies and open files from it.
I don't know if the sd cards are in FAT or NFTS. I just take it out of my dslr camera and plug it in the cardreader connected to my OTG cable.
