Storage

With so many great games out that are very large, what is the best way to keep storage? I just cycle through them and uninstall them when done. Pretty much play one large game at a time. Is there a better way/way to increase storage?
Thanks

I've been curious about this also. But havent been able to completely figure it out by reading on the internet. Could you explain?
Does this mean that with USB OTG and NExus 7 Media importer, you could for example:
Plug and 16 GB USB Memory stick into your nexus, and your nexus would then have 16GB extra storage? Or does USB OTG only view whats already on the USB, so you'd put music/videos onto the USB stick, then it shows you that but doesnt read the storage?
I hope this makes sense
Thanks !
I'm rooted using the OTG-usb and stickmount. I have added music, videos, and pictures to a connected thumbdrive or sdcard and they show up and play just fine using the Nexus apps.
Root and Stickmount seems most popular method (many threads on XDA), or you could try this app if not rooted.
Nexus media importer is the way to go if ur not rooted. Works perfectly no problems whatsoever.

It works the same way as it would on a pc it see's it as portable storage, but there is a way to move your games to the usb stick also.

Wow.... How do I do that?
I'm so looking to score a Dualshock controller deal this Black Friday. Mine is not working so well now.
There's a couple different apps in the Play Store. Here is the most popular one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...elstudios.sixaxiscontroller&feature=nav_other
Couldn't you also use otg cable to connect with your controller?
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel

Android has had otg support since 3.1. I'm pretty confident it will still work in 4.2

Yes, it will. It needs root though, if you didnt know
Just tried my PS3 controller with my otg cable and it doesn't work either on the homescreens or in riptide gp. I haven't rooted yet so can't try the wireless option. If this doesn't work it's a major negative, PS3 and Xbox controllers worked brilliantly with the Galaxy S3 and I was hoping it would be the same for the N4.
So far I have tried six axis wireless with root and when it starts the driver it fails, starts the alternative driver and also fails.
=(
No ability to power devices through the usb. Hardware limitation it seems.

*** Important ***
I'm aware of a compatibility issue with the newly released Android 4.2 and hope to have a fix within the next couple of days. Thanks for your understanding.
six axis may not be working due to android 4.2, damn i hope it works eventually
Here is the program sizpair makes the pair for the PS3 controller. But there is a problem - BT does not find the controller.
I know there is a problem with the devices connected via BT - does not find. It seems the problem is android 4.2
P.S. My old Nexus S, with no problems to connect PS3 controller via BT (android 4.1).

You are using ROOT and third-party software?
But for me it is not an option - because I know that in version 4.1 it works without ROOT!
So it won't work on the nexus 4 even with root?

With the root will work. However, it should be a separate program ists to find it.
I do not understand what the meaning was removed native support for ps3 controller from android 4.2
I agree. When it works it completely transforms the gaming experience. I don't own a nexus 4 yet but I will be placing my order As soon as they come back into stock here in the UK

I've got it to work beautifully by using the six axis app. Dead trigger is amazing with it!

Nexus 10 otg with mass storage working?

So I'm sitting here with my nexus 4 disappointed that otg is NOT working even though it is advertised and in the guide book it says it is a feature... Was also thinking about picking up a nexus 10.
Can anyone confirm otg working without needing root for the N10? On the phone it isn't a huge deal-breaker, but on the tablet it would absolutely be a must for me. Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
With nexus media importer, without root, it works, but only read permissions, you can't write. Btw, some people got an otg cable and say they can't get it to work, but that's because of the cable.
Damn only read? I guess that's fine for videos, write would be nice for my emulators though
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
HAve you got an OTG cable?
If you root your device you can get write, but as said read should work fine.
Yeah I have a cable. It's confirmed to work with my dad's SGS3 and my sisters SGS2

Root on nexus 10 is as easy as double click an icon and it auto-roots (with superboot). You don't even need to unlock the bootloader, so you might want to do that.
alrighty I'll probably pick up a 16gig version then since I wont have to carry videos around on the device itself. Now just to decide if i truly wanna shell out 400 bucks haha

I think you are mistaken there ...
From the superboot thread ..
Note: If you are using a retail device, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine, included in this zip). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device, so consider doing an 'adb backup' beforehand if required!

Just don't want someone wiping their device without knowing it ..
Anyone know which OTG cable works with both the nexus 10 and the HTC EVO LTE phone? I would like to be able to read and write to my 16 gb memory stick. Both of my devices are rooted..
Thanks...

Any Reason Why..

A Samsung external HD 500GB with OTG cable and stickmount pro works fine with my Nexus 7 yet on my Galaxy S3 it recognises the phone when OTG cable is plugged in yet I cannot see any of my music or files
Sorry not strictly a Nexus query but I do know that many on here also have a Galaxy S3 too, so might be of some assistance.

I apologize. I forgot to try last night. Perhaps brain will function tonight.
OK, I gave it a try last night and the external hd (WD 750Gb) wasn't even seen by the S3.

Damn, this ain't good, it's so time consuming and tedious having to copy music from the external HDD to the Nexus 7, then upload it to Dropbox or Box then export it to the Galaxy S3, when I had my laptop this took minutes, now it's taking hours, im determined to find a way to get this working

This is partly true. It could be a compatibility issue. What year and model is the car?
What ROM/kernel are you using?

Blutooth is broken on 4.2.1 you need to wait for 4.2.2 or use a custom kernel like Franco's Kernel.

Mine connects to my 2012 Ram on unrooted stock 4.2.1 with no problem. OP, see if there is an update for your vehicle from the dealer. My '12 has already had one due to an issue with the HDD in the radio.

Just called and nothing. They actually have never heard of anyone trying to pair their tablets. I had a feeling they would not be much help.
I am wondering if I try to go to another rom.

You're on 4.2.1 stock?
Wouldn't hurt to try. I'll try connecting to my 2013 Jetta tonight. What is it you're trying to tether? Audio, I suspect...

Cars usually only connect to Phones via bluetooth because phones have different bluetooth profiles than tablets since phones have changes in their framework to allow phone calls.
most cars connect to the phone so you can use the phone hands free. tablets dont have hands free bluetooth profiles thus is probably why your Mercedes isn't linking properly as the tablet doesn't support syncing phone books and phone calls.
Someone else may have paired theirs with their Dodge ram but they most likely paired it for Audio to their audio system but not their navigation/phone system.
I got the same problem next time will buy a BMW.
I had issues connecting an android 4.2.1 device to an AUDI A6. gave up after a few days, even took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out.
for some odd ball reason, android bluetooth just doesn't work right. I tried all my apple devices (ipad and ipod touch 4g) and it connected instamagically to the car.
Let me know how it goes for you and I will try the later rom
