A one-stop no-pain solution for enabling and using USB OTG mass storage on your android phone!
What is USB OTG?
It stands for USB On-the-Go!
"It is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host allowing a USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached." - Wikipedia
The stock kernel allows Mouse & Keyboard, but USB storage is missing..
Features:
What phones are supported?
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Neo V, Ray, Arc and the Arc S! Modules for stock kernel on second post.
If you get it to work on other devices, please PM me and I will add them to the list.
Please note that this app is an "Helper" app.. it will not magically make your kernel support USB Mass storage
What are the requirements?
How to use on stock kernel?
See this post to load modules!
WARNING
I will not be held responsible for any damage to your device. Do not use for a long time, u may risk burning the device chip/motherboard due to the voltage supply in host mode.

+ Settings to enable/disable debugging mode [off by default]
v4.2 (2012-10-24):

Touble-shooting!:
1. Settings -> "In-app Busybox preferred" -> Uncheck. Then try again.
If still not working:
1. Settings -> Debugging mode -> Check.
2. Do the steps that fail.
3. Send me debugging data (in the app itself)
