It would, but on a default, non-CM Android-build it would also require you to run StickMount or OTGHelper to mount it somewhere where the apps and OS will be able to use it.
And for that you may or may not need root. And if you're already there, why not just use a custom kernel (with FAT support) while you're at it?
- wvenable 13y agoPretty big leap from root to a custom kernel. But on my Nexus 7 with root and stickmount, the stock kernel does support mounting FAT drives. So support is baked in there.
- zmmmmm 13y agoI guess it comes down to, when you have to jump through enough steps, some of them unauthorised and requiring the user to install additional software, in court you can make a reasonable argument that you are not selling the device with that functionality enabled, therefore you aren't liable for patent infringement.
