Are there any roms/kernels that will allow me to be on Lolipop and also charge/power my devices at the same time using a OTG Y-Cable?

[Q] Problems with USB OTG

Hello. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (GT-I9301I) with custom ROM installed on it (CyanogenMod 12). today I bought and USB OTG cable (Y type). I connected it to the power source, then plug the usb flash memory to the port and then I inserted the micro usb plug in my phone. And nothing happend (no notification on the status bar, nothing in file explorer). Any ideas how to fix this?

But thats ridicolous. There are some videos on YT thats shows S3 neo working with mouse, keyboard, usb and even PS3 controller. Like this for example: www . youtube . com / watch?v=GQkBr78kF2k
Next, the original Samsung Galaxy S3 was reported to be supporting OTG so why the upgraded version shouldn't support it as well?
Maybe that's just a kernel issue. I haven't tried it on stock ROM but maybe I will be desperate enough to do it
Anyway thanks for your reply. For a moment I thought no one will ever look at this thread.

To make otg work yu need otg y cable and a power supply and yes otg is kernel related i hope it helps

If that's true then why the kernel with OTG function wasn't released?

how to enable OTG

I have tried with different kernels and roms but without success. I have often found it difficult to find recent kernel to use.
You can help me solve this problem?

Then flash Nitrogen OS and you should be able to get the OTG working

If you have Otg Y cable and a kernel with otg support
Still you may need StickMount app

Hey there i also had trouble with otg. But now i have no issues.
1. If you are at 4.4.4 - 5.0.2 flash franco kernel sabermod and ukm. If you are above flash quanta kernel and ukm
2. Otg-y cable is mandatory. (Nexus 4 cant afford the voltage)
3. Make sure you are using synapse. In the misc section enable usb-otg
4. Make sure you are using supersu for root operations
5. Install stickmount from google play.
6. Connect your flash drive or whatever you want to mount to otg y cable's usb port.
7. Connect a power source
8. Open stickmount and press mount button. Give it superuser permissions.
9. Check the message below the screen. It must say it mounted a usbdrive
Thats all. Cheers

I'll ask here instead of making a new thread, but I just bought the phone. Do you know how compatible the hacked OTG support is? (full compatibility or limited etc).
Limited - it will not work with every USB stick, seems random for me - two of mine are working, other two not.
It seems USB 3.0 not supported.
