A few apps of note are:
USB OTG Helper
Stickmount
You need to be Rooted for either app. Those apps provide Read/Write access to many different partition formats. If you only want read access to OTG storage then there is a Google app.

Just tried both. They both mount the drive, which is ntfs, but root browser shows it as blank. I'm running purity rom with ktmanta as the kernel.

I've personally used USB OTG Helper with NTFS with ES File browser without issue. My device is rooted.
Hey Sammy, what ROM/kernel combo were/are you running when you used your otg drive?

I was wondering if you could get a USB flashdrive working on kindle fire? like a SDcard almost?
Even if it means that I have to install a higher level android... currently I am running Cyanogenmod 7.

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.
is it possible to use usb otg without a custom ROM or kernel? does anyone know of a method to do so?
thanks!
There is a method, I've seen a thread about it...just not sure where.

Here is an option for non-rooted device.

thanks everyone!
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.

Hi,
I have a Toshiba 500 GB HD USB 3.0 which i formatted as exFAT and now i can easily connect to my SGS4 GT-I9500 through USB OTG.
Now my question is can i connect 1TB HD with the same procedure without any extra power connection to HD?
Please note that i am on rooted stock room (MEA).
Sorry for my bad English.

It won't work, due to the power consumption of the external HDD. You should have an info, that the conected device won't work.
Well my Samsung 1tb disk works just fine - as it did with S3 before.

I have a laptop hdd (2.5") strapped to the back of my phone to be used on the go.
But if the hdd you have is 3.5" then it will work if you use external power. Id suggest u use ext4 instead of exfat.
