I've got two of those USBs that plug into Android phones and I'm about to leave for a trip. They used to work great with my OneplusOne but I've rooted it and am using Paranoid Andriod and now it doesn't work. I've tried a few things but the resources online are really shallow. Any idea?
well i dont know much about paranoid android but i know more then a bit about paranoia and security. my guess is auto play is disabled and the usb driver was disabled by the os to prevent anyone form stealing your phone and using the usb port to conect then infect or run a brute force attack or backdoor. i would set it up as power only unless you are logged on and have adm privileges and go and tell it to turn on, and then i would have tell it to go back to paranoid mode when you unplug whatever.
if i were programmer i would have the on switch for the port/drivers in settings or control panel or whatever you call it on android. also i would do the same with blu tooth and just about everything else. i'd assume everything not on the phone itself is compromised and take every pro cation to protect it from other devices.

I gathered that. I just need to find the option to allow it. In other ROMs its under Storage and USB but my 'Storage and USB' is only internal.
Its going to be a pretty boring 15 hour bus ride lol. When I transfer via Windows it asks to change to transfer mode, I don't get that with the FAT formatted Corsair USB.
I appreciate anything I can try or any solutions.
