So... I have searched on Google and on the forums and majority of the people from what I read are using Timur's Kernel - USB Rom for OTG + Charging. I cannot seem to find out if that is all I need to do it. People are saying CM or elemental as well. I just bought a "Micro USB Host OTG Cable + USB power" pon ebay. and I have 2x 128gb USB 3.0 flash drives I want to use as storage. I also have a 14000mAH portable battery bank. I cannot seem to find the installation procedure for this rom/kernel. Is this the right method for what I want to do?

Hope someone here can help me.
I have rooted and unlocked my Nexus 7, and now I am able to use an USB stick to put my movies/music/books on. Which works great most of the time. But, I do come across a tiny problem. Its impossible to charge my Nexus while using the USB stick, or the other way around.
Do they exist, USB connectors for in my Nexus 7, with 2 USB-plugs, so I can at the same time charge and use my USB stick for movies?
It's possible with an otg y cable and a kernel that allows this mode. HERE a Thread about this function.
Thanks for the answer, but as I am not an expert on Rom/Kernel. I have paranoidandroid 3+ installed with stock kernel. What kernel would be recommended for this to work?
Try M-Kernel a46 if you have an y cable.
I'm not really sure what happened but ever since KitKat, my usb otg wires wouldn't work as consistently as before. I chalked it up to having a cheap wire so I didn't mind it. Then I saw the app called OTG Troubleshooter and it tells me the problem is "No USB Device Detected in Linux". How did that happen when I assume all custom kernels and roms support usb otg.
I'm on Carbon ROM with F2FS and mkernel btw...
Hi everyone, I have been reading for like 2 weeks on how to get my USB otg to work, I have chroma 5.1.1 ROM and quatra v6, I had hellscore but of wasn't working either. I have the y cable and I have tried it with my battery bank supplying power and also with my charging cable. I have stick mount installed. Nothing is working, am I missing something?
I am not familiar with quatra v6, is there a setting in trickster related to OTG that you may need to enable that you missed? How about swapping USB drives and trying another one? Perhaps switch to Franco kernel and try OTG on that? I doubt it is the cable or power supply's fault, but maybe you should try switching out the cable or power supply for another one. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it didn't help, I'm still working on it
My Nexus 4's digitizer is broken and part of the screen is not responsive. Now I want to install TWRP custom recovery, but apparently it's only available as a touch version. I've heard that you can control it with a mouse, through a USB OTG cable, but apparently, the Nexus 4 does not support USB OTG? Is it at all possible for me to install TWRP?
Nobody?
Well, I know that using a USB OTG y-adapter + modified kernel, you can enable OTG in your ROM. However you would need to flash a kernel if you did not have one already. The easiest way to install is probably just flashing using ADB. Any reason that you can't?
Good day everyone, I would like to ask why my phone does not support OTG. I need your suggestions.
First my nexus 4 runs on Paranoid Android Rom v5.1 with quanta kernel v18. I also made my own otg y cable by connecting the red and black wires. I tried to use otg but my phone does not connect to my flash drive. When I connect it, the phone charges and the flash drive blinks its led light so it means that my wiring is Ok. What could be the problem?
You need to use Stickmount.
