Ok, So i got my 3G version! rooted and had busybox installed! everything else is stock!
I can't connect my USB flash (Fat 32) with is used to work on my Galaxy Nexus before, simply nothing happens when i connect it!
I tried installing Stick-mount and other OTG Helper but nothing worked! changing the cable(OTG) didn't help either!
Is this a common issue on this 4.2.1 specific version ?
anybody can confirm that it works or not?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance!
OTG is working fine on my Nexus 7 wifi running paranoid android 2.99
I'm on 4.2.1 and can say otg working good. Not only flash drive, i can connect to my logitech wireless gamepad, my dslr, and mw modem.

Thanks all for replying.

Are you on STOCK rom?
Is there any app installed that allows you to use the OTG functionality or is it out of the box feature on 4.2.1?
I can't figure out what makes my nexus 7 3G Un-OTG-able!
Download StickMount from the Playstore.
Works verry nice!

Yes, right now I'm using stock with motley kernel. For mounting hdd or flash disk just download stick mount by chainfire. It will automatically mount your drive when you connect it.
As for logitech gamepad, its worked just fine, no need for additional apps.

i just flashed SmoothROM (4.2.1) the other day, and my OTG cable wasn't working until i installed StickMount. thanks!
Stock rom, stock kernel, rooted, OTG-usb cable, stickmount. Works great for read/write access and streaming media from external storage. Not all OTG-usb cables work. Try and find another or try your cable with another otg supported device.
Thank you guys! i guess I'll flash a custom kernel !!!
If it doesn't work for you on the stock kernel, I don't think installing a custom kernel will make any difference. Many, many people use OTG successfully with the stock kernel, including me. Before you go that route, try plugging in a usb mouse to see if it works. If not, I would suspect the cable itself. Any option to try the cable on someone else's device? Is Stickmount in your list of root allowed apps in your Supersu or Superuser app? Are you using the latest Stickmount? Do you have USB debugging on and are you connecting as an MTP device?
Doy you know an app to access usb otg without root appart from nexus media importer?

Not possible as far as I know. It is not build into AOSP, since it's a hardware functionality no one would have access to it.
I have finally unlocked and rooted my wife's Nexus 7 (1st gen). Thanks Wug! Now I need to work on support for OTG file access. I tried stickmount app but it didn't get me anywhere. I am using an OTG cable that has proven good with my Galaxy S4, so I assume it would work for the N7. TWRP recovery does see it and I was able to do a backup to the OTG/USB, so that also proves it works.
I would be willing to flash a kernel or even a ROM, but I need a solution that will minimize the rework of setting everything up and reinstalling her apps. When I unlocked and rooted, I had to rebuild her homescreens from memory. She was not happy about that.
Is there a kernel that I can flash that will enable OTG with minimal interruption?
in my case, i have nexus 7 3G, OTG work out of the box, no need to install custom kernel or ROM to get this feature
Hers never did. Even after the KK update. Could be the cable after all. I shall search for one that has a good reputation for this device.

USB OTG Checker app says it is already capable of OTG. Looks like I'm shopping for a new cable.

I have a gen 1 nexus 7 with stock rom 4.4.4. I am going on a long flight on Monday and would like the ability to use OTG USB to play movies off my usb while charging using a Y usb otg cable.
Is there a recommended method to do this? a recommended rom or kernel I should use?
thanks in advance!

Stickmount looks good but it will not charge and when using OTG at the same time.
Hello,
I found a way to enable USB OTG feature in Nexus 4 without being needed to root.
I can't attach any link because I'm a new user, so please search in google "how to enable usb otg on nexus 4" - this is the second result - wonderhowto
There is an app that suppose to allow it.
I am afraid that this app is malicious because there are no responses for the guide.
What do you say? will it be safe to install it on my Nexus 4?
Unfortunately, flashing kernel is not relevant for me and I have to get the OTG feature.
Thanks.
