Hello.

To enable OTG support you need to

1: Create file named android.hardware.usb.host.xml containing lines
Quote:
<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host"/>
</permissions>
in folder /system/ect/permissions/

2: In files tablet_core_hardware.xml or handheld_core_hardware.xml or rk-core.xml add line
Quote:
<feature name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
into <permissions> section.
Then reboot.

Found it in this XDA developers thread.

Tested with Icarus Illumina XL HD- works fine. Should work with any android device that hardware supports OTG.
