[Q] USB OTG in SGS Advance?

tomaszek94 · Jan 9, 2014

Hi guys

Like in title. It's possible?
I read a little about USB OTG and in my opinion if SGS have posibility to have USB OTG why SGS Advance have too.
Sorry for my english, but I do my best

Thanks in advance

S Advance does not support USB OTG. And your English is fine.

no rom can enable it, dont expect it to happen anytime soon and also if it is enabled by our devs the experience wont be like the phones supporting it natively... so if you need it for any important purpose like work etc get a phone which supports it out of the box or chill and wait for surprises

you are wrong sony have some phones with this same hardware as mine and yours sgsa and these devices have usb otg options. im not a dev but i think the sollution is kernel from 1 sony device with this same hardware

I have found some smartphones with:
Chipset: NovaThor U8500
CPU: Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9
GPU: Mali-400
and USB On-the-go support ofc

It's possible to port USB On-the-go from kernel in these phones? Here they are:

Watch for CoCore thread, Cocafe have great research capabilities, and I believe that he would find if that was easy like that.

I think it was related to usb switch in our phone that is not capable of otg. So it would be hardware related. But I'm not sure about this.

OTG

Android 4.4 roms based on cyanogenmod have OTG support right?? Novathor settings has an option to enable voltage to USB port. I dont have OTG cable. So i have not tested it yet. Is it working on roms like CM11 ???

No, SGSA has no USB OTG support.
Only thing you can do is to enable power output for USB, thus you can charge an other device or power a van in the summer

reference doc of 9070's USB switch: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tsu6111.pdf
-> the USB switch manages USB OTG

9070's source code suggests that it shoud support it:
/* USB-OTG API function */
#define BOOT_API_USB_INIT 10
#define BOOT_API_USB_GET_NB_BYTES_RECEIVED 11
#define BOOT_API_USB_SET_CONFIGURATION 12
#define BOOT_API_USB_RECEIVE_DATA 13
#define BOOT_API_USB_TRANSMIT_DATA 14
#define BOOT_API_USB_IS_CONFIG_RECEIVED 15
#define BOOT_API_USB_IS_SESSION_VALID 16
#define BOOT_API_USB_IT_PROCESS 17
#define BOOT_API_USB_GET_STATUS 18
#define BOOT_API_USB_CUST_DISCONNECT 19
#define BOOT_API_USB_INIT_EP 20
#define BOOT_API_USB_CUST_INITIALIZE 21
#define BOOT_API_USB_CUST_CONNECT 22
#define BOOT_API_USB_CUST_CLOSE 23

I am sure that CoCafe did good research about that already...

Wasted time, OTG in S Advance will never become reality.

Just do not post kernel until you test it yourself - we do not want noob users to get bricking their phones. :laugh:

Wasted time. S Advance has a different usb switch/voltage regulator afaik. Missing OTG support is hardware related.

@shut_down totally agree. +1000000000
