I tried this and, although the app says it's supported, I couldn't get any drives to mount. I suspect the cable might be bad. Please let me know if anyone else gets this working

EDIT: From what I can tell, an OTG cable has the 5th pin and 4th pin shorted (connected to ground). I sliced open my adapter and it only had 4 pins, so it may not have been a real OTG cable. I need to buy another one to test.

Mine is rooted and still won't find the drive. Here is the screenshot:

My OTG cable does not work on this phone, but it works on my Samsung Galaxy S4, weird.

our kernel probably doesnt support usb mass storage then. which can be changed.
there is also a build.prop mention about mass storage somewhere if i remember correctly
