P8 Lite ( ALE21) Activate OTG feature - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to somehow Activate USB OTG?
I know that it isn't activated natively. Maybe there is a patch that i don't know of?
Your help is appreciated.

no, u cant activate usb otg, because the feature of otg is not inbuilded in the phone, there is absolutely no way to activate it.

[Q] how can we use a usb host?

Hello,
I have do a usb cable with external power alimentation, can we use it on android?
It works on Windows and on ubuntu!
I have put the kernel with a driver for the usb host. If we search the program used in samsung s2?
Bumping, as I am looking too for a way to run this. There is no clear info about USB host support on this forum.
And USB Host IS POSSIBLE in HD2 as hardware supports it, probably with OTG mode. We need a working kernel, or just some info how to run it.

OTG

hey guys.sry for my bad english.
I have this problem! My phone reads Computer Keyboard,Mouse and Gamepad with OGT cable,but it doesnt read flash memories
Can u help me n tell me what should I do to make it work?

Change another OTG, as not all can work with flash. You need to have the one with big wire

usb flash memory stick

Dear devoleder
I asked about how to connect flash memory stick to my huawei p8lite
Does it support otg or not?
I see in the sitting / storage/ usb mount what can i do with it
P8 lite doesn't support otg.

I don't get it too the phone does not detect the usb flash stick and many people said that the phone does not support OTG but in storage settings there that usb mount ****, really weird...
Maybe it will work with some OTG cable not by pluging the usb stick directly into the phone who knows lol
I think it's just missing a kernel driver to support it.
AIDA64 in pheripherals shows DWC OTG Controller, pheripheral ID 1D6B-0002
Hello, OK the p8 lite didn't support otg cable/stick but with twrp and a otg stick it's working fine for flashing process

Really? TWRP mounts usb stick?
In this case it's only needed a kernel driver to have it working in rom
The OTG chip exists, but the kernel lacks support for USB OTG.
then rooting the phone and installing stickmount and using an usb otg cable will solve the problem I guess

No, a kernel driver is needed before everything else.

I think the driver is not a problem. The driver is present in the kernel.
The problem is probably a stock rom or stock system problem.
There could be a possible solution with a different rom like CM or AOSP.

At last, a spark of hope for OTG! Honor 4x supports OTG and they almost have the same specs....
I'm looking to push a CWM for the P8 Lite soon when I have the time... will look into USB OTG kernel support.
I think kernel suports fully USB OTG but it's only simply disabled.
The issue is most likely that the USB port isn't providing enough power (if any) to the USB device.
Can anyone who's patched their kernel with USB OTG support (there are many apps on the Play store which do this) confirm whether this is true, using a USB Y cable?
Somebody try to use something from Huawei Honor 4C? It's almost identical phone but with smaller internal memory and USB OTG support. It also runs on Kirin 620.

If you have a honor 4x please post usb-storage module, please
I used a Y cable without effect. But I will still try.
Ps. Whole true about USB OTG Now I'm dumping memory. May be soon I will upload image with USB OTG enabled. If somebody can help me, I appreciate it.

Please try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tauruslabs.usbhostcheck , reboot, then use Y cable.
You need to be rooted to use that app
You can maybe build our own kernel with support of OTG?
Try changing line 1988 in the hisi_hi6210sft_defconfig: CONFIG_USB_OTG=y

Don't know if it will work.
Attention! Flashing a kernel or changing a kernel can damage your phone

OTG Does not work directly on the s3 neo because the usb port doesnt have enough power, you can try to use a external powered otg cable.
Or do it like me:
There is an APP which can enable otg, required ROOT privileges, and you can use USB stuff like:
USB-Mouse, USB-Keyboard, USB-Stick(i tested 1-16GB), USB-HardDrive(ex. 500gb external usb HDD), Charge an other device/phone/Bluetoothspeaker, and so on.
App required ROOT privileges!!!!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/themes-apps/otg-enabler-t3423727 (I'am using this)
or you use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/themes-apps/root-neotg-otg-enabler-t3438645 (not tested by me, just read the comments)
On the app(first link) You just install it and open it, tap the switch, allow su access, and you'll see your device getting Charged(Top left power led is glowing), and usb devices do work. If you'r done, just tap again the switch and use it normally and yes you can close/minimize the app while otg is enabled
Don't Charge your Device, i dont know what can happen so dont try it, may be nothing happens but i dont want risk my device!
Sorry for my weak english(-grammar)

Enabled OTG: Some Questions About...

Hi,
I have enabled OTG support for my p9 Lite, thanks to the information here (I assume it is working, as I can't charge, or connect to PC, when script is running). I am attempting to achieve the following, if possible?
-connect & run Logitech C270 webcam that will be modified to work as an astrophotographical web-camera
What I am trying to ascertain is:
-what type of OTG cable I can use? Any type, or does it need to be a microUSB2.0 version?
-Do webcams even work with this? Only info I can find refers to using {flash}drives.
Thanks.
1. Any OTG USB 2.0
2.50% yes, 50% nein.
Thanks for reply. Not sure what the %s mean??
My phone is VNSL22C706B130. It would appear not all cables works with this particular phone build; if indeed any. I bought a Digitus cable -DK300204-002-S VPR. 1-0-. It works on my old Samsung SII, & recognises the flash drive. It does NOT work on my P9 Lite. I have tried different makes of flash drives, in various formats: no-go.
What's the easiest way to check that Scriptrunner is actually working properly? I have double-checked that the OTG folder permissions are as needed. I even added write into both group & other categories, to test. Does anything else need to be checked eg. 'SetUID', 'Set GID', etc. Thanks.
Anyone else with a New Zealand P9 Lite build got OTG working?
You can enable it but it doesn't work reliably. I was using a dragonfly DAC via otg and the sound screwed up every few minutes.
Swap it for a Honor 6x if you want otg.
Cheers. I'll probably go down another route & get a tablet to control the webcam.
