There is not automatic option for OTG mount, so i will explain how to do it manually. Please use only FAT32 or EXT formatted drives.
1. go to Advanced -> Aroma file manager
2. Press options and select console.
3. In console enter the command (while otg drive is insterted)
mount /dev/block/sda1 /external_sd
4. close the console and check /external_sd folder, u'd see the OTG drive contents
5. use file manager to transfer files to OTG drive

HOW TO: Run games from USB drive

NOTE: Currently only working on Android 4.1.2. I'll look for a workaround when my new OTG cables come in.
So I purchased the 8 GB Nexus 7 and began to regret not getting the 16 GB version. These 1-3 GB games are killing me. I purchased The Bard's Tale (great game btw) and the TegraHD version requires 3.5 GB! I already had a USB OTG cable so I began looking for a way to store the game data on the USB drive and mount it to the data directory on the sdcard.
You will need:
Compatible USB OTG Cable
Paragon NTFS&HFS+
GScript Lite
Compatible kernel (ntfs read/write support)
I've tested this on ParanoidAndroid and SGT7 but it should work on any rom.
Note: Each game requires a game data folder on the USB drive that matches my script (or you can create your own folder and edit the script). You will also need a blank folder on the sdcard (/sdcard/android/data/GAMEFOLDER_from_Script - You have to use this folder name). Once this folder from the USB drive has been mounted to the correct position on the SDCARD, the game data will download to the USB drive.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dWqLjnCSBg&feature=youtube_gdata
NTFS USB Drive STEPS:
Plug in USB drive to Nexus 7 and unmount if the system automounts the drive (Settings - Storage - Unmount shared storage)
Open Paragon NTFS&HFS+ and mount the USB drive using the automatic mount point setting (/storage/usbdisk).
Open GScript Lite and run a game script to bind mount the game data folder to the sdcard.
Enjoy your game and extra space!
When done, unmount with Paragon NTFS&HFS+.
FAT32 USB Drive STEPS:
Plug in USB drive to Nexus 7, it should be automounted by the system to the default location: /storage/usbdisk
Open GScript Lite and run a game script to bind mount the game data folder to the sdcard.
Enjoy your game and extra space!
When done, unmount via the system: (Settings - Storage - Unmount shared storage)
Assuming your USB drive is mounted on /storage/usbdisk/ and you have created the empty game data folder on the sdcard (/sdcard/android/data/GAMEFOLDER_from_Script), the following scripts should work:
Code:
Script for Horn:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/Horn /sdcard/Android/obb/com.Phosphor.Horn.Paid
Script for Bard's Tale:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/BardsTale /sdcard/Android/data/com.inxile.BardTale
Script for Max Payne:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/MaxPayne /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.maxpayne
Script for Dead Trigger (gave me an error the first time opened but worked fine afterwards):
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/DeadTrigger /sdcard/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger
Script for Shadow Gun THD:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/shadowgun /sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun_thd
Script for Asphalt 7:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/Asphalt7 /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM
Script for The Dark Knight Rises:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/TDKR /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftKRHM
Script for Mass Effect Infiltrator:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/MassEffect /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.meinfiltrator_na
I'll add more scripts as time permits.
Alternate Method (No scripts needed but you loose SDCard when USB drive is mounted):

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm doing with GScript (directory bind mounts from one device to another)... still have to unmount via Storage and use Paragon if you want to use NTFS drives.
Got usb mounted and had a go at the script, but keeps saying directory not found
Could you possibly do a video?

No lag? Wow you deserve a beer! Awesome work! I have a 16 gig and don't want to get below 4 gig and this will be a big help. This should be pinned.
thanks for the tip, very useful info. I'm looking at using a USB to micro SD adapter and using the micro SD as storage (obviously), will report how well (or not) it works.
Oh, wow. Just got this working.
Didnt see the space in the script
Great work, thanks for this tutorial!

There is a file on my internal memory I cannot delete. How do I get rid of it???

The name of the file in question is:
í/à=√f+ⁿ.bí£
Yes, that filename has a forward slash in it!!!!!!!!
How do I get rid of this file??
It is preventing me from running NanDroid backups, and I cannot format the partition (bizarrely).
I suspect the filename is corrupted.
If I run ls -il I do not get an inode number, just a series of question marks ?????
Have you tried renaming it and then deleting? Try also a different file manager if that doesn't work (Solid Explorer Trial shouldn't have any problem)
It can't be renamed unfortunately.
I have used a variety of android file managers with no success.
I'm rooted on CM10.1 and have tried CWM tools also.

Connect device as mass storage and delete from PC
still you can't delete it then install unlocker (attached here) to PC and delete with that
This should work otherwise
Last option copy data to PC and format internal memory.

I can't delete from Windows or Linux on a PC.
The forward slash confuses both O/Ss.

The unlocker tool didn't do the job I'm afraid.
And Windows would not format the partition.
I found a Windows tool for formatting FAT32 on large memory sticks.
Copied all the files from my internal memory, apart from the dodgy file.
Used the FAT32 tool to format the partition.
Copied all my files back.

Hello.
I have exactly the same problem as you. Could you explain the way you format the partition? I tried with 3 different usb format tools but I cant find the way to format it from my computer, they dont detect my internal memory as a usb drive and I dont know how to do it
Thank you very much.

I had the same issue with multiple files not deleting. The solution I found was the following. I have Chasmodo's Asylym ROM installed, and its kernel has the TWRP recovery, and in advanced settings of that recovery mode you have the option to pick what you want to mount. I connected Note to my PC and picked Mount USB storage in TWRP, and the phone's internal storage was now accessible on my computer. After that, I just formatted it on my PC using the usual method: right click on the drive, Format, picked FAT32 and quick format. It cleaned the entire thing and the freakin files were finally gone. Do keep in mind that this wipes your entire internal storage.

Hi
So sorry I haven't replied earlier, I removed the subscription from the thread once I nailed the problem.
Basically you have to connect to the N7000 as a mass storage device.
There are different ways of doing this depending upon the Rom you are using.
This mounts the internal and external drive on the N7000 as drives in Windows.
Then using a FAT32 formatter you can format the internal drive.
It's that simple.
Take it easy.........FF

When I face these problems on Linux, usually I use " rm -i * ".
That is the interactive mode of "rm".
So basically the system will ask you to delete each file it founds on the directory. You'll answer "no" for each file except the one you want to delete.
The system should be able to pass the right info to the rm command (I think it will not pass the name but the inode) to delete it.

Is USB Mass storage possible?

I Is it possible to mount the internal storage as USB Mass Storage device on the PC. I like to sync the memory to PC from time to time. It is important that the internal storage is mounted as a separate drive and not a portable device.

Yes, just select the USB notification you get when you connect it and instead of charging you can choose to mount it as a drive.

There's a reason for that. Read this:

Alternatively, you could enable USB debugging and use ADB commands or something to back up device data.

That said usb mass storage drivers work fine. There is a virtual cd drive with drivers. Im just wondering what linux /dev that is on the phone so I can wipe it and cram something else in there… make a rescue boot out of my phone!

I just tested this on a Nexus 6P running v7.1.2 and it does not work for what I use it for. I use StickMount to be able to read and write external USB flash drives/hard drives/SD card readers/etc that are formatted in NTFS.
I simply plug in a NTFS formatted drive/card into my phone and StickMount automatically mounts it to /storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/ with full read and write access thanks to ElementalX Kernel NTFS write support.
I have not found any other method to do this that is as simple, elegant, and fast as StickMount.

No toast notification that anything was mounted. No notification tray item. Nothing. All I get is the standard Android System notification saying Unsupported USB drive.
-Edit
I have tested this with Magisk v13 as well and the result is still the same. I also tested 5 or 6 other apps from the Play Store that claimed to be able to mount NTFS drives and they all failed to mount. StickMount is the only app that can do it correctly. But it is only currently working with SuperSU.

Yeah I did. When I tap "Mount" and then select the mount point, the app freezes for a few seconds then the notification pops up and the app returns to the previous screen with the option to select "Mount" again and the flash drive showing Unmounted. It never actually Mounts it anywhere. I actually used to use that app with another device before I started using StickMount. But Paragon it is not working with the Nexus 6P v7.1.2.

One is a free root app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter
The other is a helper for Total Commander, that has in-app purchases: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro
The root app is the one that I have always used and the one that has the functionality that I want (auto mounting to /data/media/0/ with read/write access) but it doesn't work.
The other app requires you to manually mount the drive each time and even though it said that it works in trial mode and the "Mount" button changed to an "Unmount" button when I tapped it, I could not find the drive mounted anywhere on the filesystem.
So yes, I tried both and neither worked.
Just did couple of tests with different pendrives and it seems the key word here is NTFS, isn't it? FAT and FAT32 drives mount without a fail, but NTFS ones simply don't. You might consider using FAT drives if that's an option? For the sake of getting it working?
