I recently opened a J1 SM-J120A Galaxy Express that I had unopened since 2017 because of the requirement of VOLTE and my old Note-II does not support it.
So I was testing different devices and accessories including my J120A and noticed that it would not recognize my OTG-usb-32GB flash drive which works in several other android devices so I did some research based on the installed OS-android 6.0.1 and found very little until I came across possible hardware limitations that led me to a site with a review of the J1 (2016) which stated that it does not support USB-OTG (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-J1-2016-Smartphone-Review.169413.0.html)
1.) Is there any way to force OTG-storage support in the stock android 6.0.1?
2.) If not, is there any custom-ROM available that will allow OTG to work?...(Otherwise, I will just use MiXplorer and WiFi-ftp server which both work over wifi and usb-cable).

Figured this would be the best place to ask, discus or what ever else takes the fancy but I was floating the internet the other day looking up about USB OTG for my T230NU and found this...
A bit of googling didnt seem to pull up the CPU that the Brazilian "NT" varient uses... but what I am thinking is if it uses the same Marvell SoC as the T230 / T230NU would that be something that could be ported?
I Did do a quick forum search before typing this and nothing came up and thought it of potential interest
Anybody looking into this? OTG would be nice. Hate not being able to mount usb storage properly as well.

OTG support is not available on marvell variants. I don't know if the same holds tru for the sm-t237p which is a qualcomm/msm device
like the tab 4 10.1 and the tab 4 8.0
The same lack of OTG support occurs in the tab 3 line for the 7.0 models, again, marvell.
While the code is present in the kernel source, the actual required hardware components are not present on the board.
So the answer is no.

Edit- i do have a question about mounting the tab as usb-storage in recovery, either philz or twrp, does that work ?
I have Samsung Galaxy S5 G901F, latest official Android 6.0.1.
ANT+ doesn't work with this combination. I've tried Endomondo, IpBike and official ANT+ Plugin Sampler. They do not even start to scan for ANT+ accessories.
ANT+ Plugin Sampler gives message: "ANT adapter not available. Built-in hardware or external adapter required"
I've installed ANT Checker application. It gives info that device is ANT capable but there is no built-in firmware that supports ANT (screenshot attached) .
I've checked friends phones with Galaxy S5 G900F with Android 5.0.1 and 6.0.1 and these version fully support ANT+. Everything works.
Is there any solution, any official or unofficial ROM that supports ANT+ with G901F?
Do older ROMs for G901F work with ANT+?

Hi. Old post, but I had the same issue after updating ROM on my Spring S5 to BlissPop. I love the ROM but wish ANT+ worked. I ended up fixing it by installing ANT+ ENABLER from app store... It cost $10 but for me it was worth it. It worked flawlessly. Would rather donate $10+ to the ROM if it was built in
Anyone knows ROM for G901F with ANT+ working?
Hi!
I recently bought a USB-Ethernet Adaptater (this one actually). I also just rooted my phone, trying to follow this tutorial.
But I just read that Android 6.0.x phones don't have the "netcfg" binary, and are supposed to support natively USB-Ethernet.
But I don't see the <...> icon I'm supposed to get when connected. Looks like Samsung don't want us to use the driver. So how can I do?
Thanks
Hi, i have been searching this for a while , i have a note 4 running on stock rom 5.1.1 where i recently got a vr headset with controller where i realized they deny the controller to work with the note 4 despite the headset works just fine .
By researching i get to see that there were suggestions to either install a specific apk or root and change build.prop device number to another device then reinstall gearvr services , then i saw additional posts that both methods stopped working , due to system updates that would either ignore the outdated apk or bootlooping rooted devices .
So I came to think how about ported roms then i came to see posts claiming ported roms do not support gearvr etc .
Now i really need an expert opinion about this , were you ever able to use the controller with note 4 910c 5.1.1 ? if so what's the right way to it ? if through a port please specify which along with the cons of the port over the stock rom , i have read on most ports i googled complains that most sensors are broken with ports etc but non specify if gyroscope still work or not on those so i am a little lost here . any help is appreciated and thanks in advance !
Hello Every one,
Hope you all are fine and safe with your loved one's. I am from India holding a S7Egde SM-G935FD, I believe its the Exynos 8890 Duos so which version of WasEdition should I flash Duos or normal ? Since the stock Rom is based on Oreo I am looking to Flash a custom Rom with Pie UI 1 or Android 10 with UI. 2.0.
My query is if I flash any of the Custom roms available here for device to be used in India, will it support the Network 4G. And also all the features available in Android 9 / 10 i.e Integrated Call Recorded, Bluetooth, Wifi Connectivity & most importantly (for me ) the Samsung's inbuilt app SHealth's auto functioning. I may sound wired on these questions but please support me by addressing these points.
Again, which shall be the best rom on basis of the user experience with no bugs/less bugs. And before flashing 1) I will backup all data , 2) Install TWRP latest and follow the instructions as per the guide here. Will that be all of the process or will have to follow some more steps in order to function my device the way it is expected ?
Wish you a good health & Peace from India.
