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.

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.
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?
I recently flashed hellscore b45 kk and @justvarshney's kernel patch for enabling OTG host. I can now successfully connect pendrive to N4
Then I tried connecting Keyboard and mouse to the phone. Ideally it should start up, or I should be able to use keyboard in textboxes. but Nothing happens.
I would appreciate any help in connecting and using USB accessories like keyboard, mouse etc to OTG enabled Nexus 4

I can't guess roots of problem. But I personally have tried keyboards mouses joystick with very same justvarshney kernel. They worked great even through à hub connected simultaneously with a flash drive. Might be try a clean ROM and check...

Yes Keyboard/Mouse and other devices works fine.. Try clean flash again.
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...
Hello,
i am desperatley in need of a ROM for the 2012 Nexus that supports USB UTG and Charging.
I would be thankfull for every Info with a working Download-Link to a ROM.
Thanks!
I need it too. And I'd like to have undervolting feature. But looks like you should find ROM by yourself and then flash kernel with OTG+power
FWIW I flashed my 2012 N7 with LN14.1 build 20180625-UNOFFICIAL, OTG and charging work fine, however MTP connectivity to Win PC only works when the N7 is booted into TWRP recovery.
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-nexus-7-2012-t3530261 for download and installation info.
I am also looking for a way to use a music player from usb/powered usb hub/fat32 60G card in dash car mount.
