I have a LG Optimus F3 that is rooted and just got a USB OTG cable for it. Does anyone know how to get it to work? I would like to use a wired xbox 360 controller with it. Thanks
 
The kernel doesnt support it... so you would have to build one supporting it, then you need an external power source because the phone doesnt give the power out through the usb port...

USB OTG is a default module for all android systems and all android systems work the same.

You just have to enable it during kernel compilation which builds a lib module that activates this feature.

I will add this to one of the features when i finish my kernel build.
