[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
It's a hardware limitation. The phone can't detect a usb flashdrive when it's connected with a otg cable because it can't provide enough power to power the USB drive to access it's storage space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
More power can't be forced? It just seems pretty strange for a USB controller not to be able to power smaller devices like flash drives, especially with this phone (sure I could understand it with some no-name older Samsung phone, but not with the newest flagship Nexus phone).

Although I'm pretty sure this might of been discussed elsewhere in great detail.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Extra power be forced, just not from the phone itself.

Power can be forced. zidgey Kernel proves that with power you can do it. Its only a matter of programming to make the phone supply the power. All phone micro USB ports are the same, and if another phone can do it, this phone can.

isn't there any way to supply that power through some coding...??

Writing/modifying the kernel will enable OTG but you still need a external power source to supply the flash-drive.

Zippey's kernel is modified to enable OTG.

Android 4.3 Stock rooted nexus 4 to USB OTG

I had stock Android 4.3 and wanted to get USB OTG to have more space using powered USB.

I first downloaded and installed Nexus root toolkit 1.6.6 and Unlocked the boot loader and then rooted the phone (pre -requisites for loading ziddey-otg-r165-07291101. zip)

All went well.

I am at Android 4.3 and rooted and then I went to recovery (TWRP) and then selected Install and selected the .zip that I downloaded from XDA.

Boom!

I tried to reboot the phone and ever since stuck in the start up screen just displaying the google icon for nearly 15 minutes. Did i just manage to brick my phone? Please help!

Also I am currently using the same toolkit to re-install factory stock Nexus 4 Android 4.3

Will the ziddey-otg-r165-07291101.zip not work at android 4.3? Please help any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Copy/push it directly to /system and set permissions as 0644 /rw-r-r. Make sure the old one gets overwritten or deleted. Reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache. That should install that Contact.apk...can't comment if it'll fix your problems.

Hold UP while booting....Are you on Stock with Locked Bootloader?
[Motorola Atrix HD] iceman2g:
My phone has the stock ROM but was rooted.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
So you use SafeStrap? Locked bootloader?

Either way, just copy/paste it with a root file manager and set the permissions right.

SS has a wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache options. Even if you plan on staying stock, unlocking your bootloader and using CWM makes fixing problems much easier. I imagine in the coming months the amount of users with SS experience will be next to none. Out of all of us who answer questions and help out regularly, I have the least amount of SS experience....but only because I was late to the AHD scene, I'm just glad I made it in time to watch all the development progress from completely locked down to tons of development.
[Motorola Atrix HD] iceman2g:
I don't know what SafeStrap is so I probably didn't use it. I'm not sure about the status of the bootloader.

How would I unlock the bootloader if it's locked?

Seems I've completely mucked things up.

The contact feature now seems to work, but I've lost the stock messaging app, additionally the phone doesn't work correctly. When I attempt to make a call the dialer opens the Skype app. My phone no longer connects to my carrier's network.

This is a review of Cruzerlite TPU cases for S4: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-s-iv

After just posting a review for Cruzerlite TPU cases for N2, I'm on to S4 :) I'm sure a lot of the people are familiar with Cruzerlite and their line of TPU cases featuring Andy the Android character. The unique graphic design of these cases is what makes it stand out from other TPU cases. But as I mentioned before, eye candy will not last for too long if the quality of the case iis sub par. After testing these new S4 TPU cases, I can confirm that Cruzerlite delivered again and didn't cut any corners while still providing a great slim tpu case at a very reasonable price.

The first case I looked at was their Bugdroid Circuit model. The case itself is semi-transparent with a nice rubbery feeling. What makes it stand out is the etched out design of circuit traces surrounding Andy the Android. You can actually feel these etched out traces and they give you an additional grip when holding the phone. The bumper of the case wraps around the phone and provides a lip to keep it off the surface when placed display done. Now, here I have some concern. Perhaps maybe it's because I just reviewed exactly the same model of the case for my Note 2, but this lip felt a little shallow to me. Yes, it will keep the screen away from touching the surface, but I would prefer it to be a bit thicker for an additional drop protection. All the cutouts are precise and aligned perfectly. Please keep in mind that I'm suing a display model of S4 and that one has mic opening next to micro-usb which is not precisely aligned by itself (the case is actually all good). Power and volume buttons are open and easy to access through a cutout.

The second case is from their Androidified A2 series. The design also features Andy the Android and semi-transparent material. All the openings are precise and aligned perfectly. And again, I felt that bumper lip could have been thicker. Due to consistency between this and Bugdroid design, I think Cruzerlite was trying to slim down their TPU cases thus trying to avoid any extra bulk including bumper thickness. One thing to note, A2 series design add a textured side grip for an improved handling of the phone. Very nice touch.

As I also mentioned in my other review, overall these are very nice looking TPU cases for everyday basic use. These stand out with it's original design around friendly Andy the Android in the middle. Also, cases have a very reasonable price without sacrificing the quality. For those who like to change their cases on a regular basis and looking for a unique design, Cruzerlite line of TPU cases is definitely something to consider.

Now, here are the pictures for your enjoyment:

This is to fix Mms message on metropcs flashed sprint galaxy s iii your phone most already be flashed to metropcs with working internet Flash the zip in recovery and reboot, mms messages should work from first boot. This will last thru a factory reset.

Edit: I was ask to add some detsils as to wat the zips doing and wat I do. I edit the mms-config.xml in the stock Mms.apk/SecMms.apk to settings from verizon which work for metropcs, I also use an apns-conf.xml that I edited for metropcs. the zip will mount data and mount system, it will delete Mms.apk/SecMms.apk and Mms.odex/SecMms.odex, it will delete dalvik-cache for Mms.apk/SecMms.apk, it will delete the telephony.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ which countains apns. it will replace Mms.apk/SecMms.apk with the one I edited for metropcs it also replaces the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ which countains the default apns for the one I edited for metropcs (on first boot the phone will create a new telephony.db with the default apns countained in this apns-conf.xml, that is why this fix lasts thru a datawipe/factory reset). The zip will also delete devicemanager.apk/sprintdevicemanager.apk/sprintdm.apk to remove the activation prompt every boot.For more details take a look at the updater-script.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treblesum81:
During a discussion about whether to get an iPad or an Android (I much prefer this) tablet for use in aviation, someone who is obviously drinking the Apple koolaid brought up the point that developing apps for Android is difficult because of the large number of different devices and hardware sets associated with the operating system, especially in an environment where it needs to work right every time like aviation. They said that this is a major reason the bulk of the apps for aviation are only available on Apple devices currently, and probably for the foreseeable future, despite the fact that there are quite a few good aviation apps out there for Android devices.

I'm hoping that someone with more experience working with app development can tell me whether the point this person brought up is true, or if its a myth perpetuated by Apple junkies. Personally, I feel like there has to be quite a high degree of commonality in the way the different devices behave with similar commands or else the operating system wouldn't be so easily adapted to each device and there would probably only be device specific apps because application developers probably don't want to develop 100 different versions of the same program just to be sure all devices are covered. Then again, I'm no dev, so my base assumptions could be 100% wrong.

Please enlighten me...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronny927:
Reality. Every phone has different processors, GPUs, RAM, Screensize and even hardware buttons. In companies like Apple, their phones are limited to a few types, and their hardware, processors are similar. So app developers are more likely developing apps for Apple even though Android has much more users. And back to your question, your assumption is correct, and it is reality that there are too many devices running on Android and it is difficult to develop every single app to suit every single device's hardware properties0
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treblesum81:
So you're saying that the other person is correct?

My assumption is that there is a high degree of commonality between the various Android devices, such that, even though there are a large variety, the same basic operating principles carry across most of them...
