Is it possible to use at the same time the hdmi adapter and the usb adapter?
Thanks
No. Even if you could connect the usb adapter to the hdmi adapter, the hdmi adapter wouldn't work because the usb adapter takes up the 30pin port and the hdmi adapter would miss the power source it needs to run.
I bought a cable usb otg after i have rooted and installed a couple of apps. I can use the mouse on the mini pro, unfortunately, does not read any mass storage devices. But what I wanted to know is whether you can charge via a hub and using the mouse at the same time. In practice between cells and hub there will be a cable usbotg linked to an usb micro usb cable, in another port the mouse, and another one a usb cable male to male with the adapter included in the package.
very sorry for my bad Google Translate English =)
Photon supports like plugging USB keyboard in right??

Depending on your kernel, which is very heavily dependent on the ROM you are using, yes.
However, you will need a few things:
Research before you start.
[*]A USB Host Cable: This grounds the 5th pin (the "Host ID" pin) so that your Photon hardware knows to take over devices connected to it:USB Host Cable: Example: Amazon
[*]A USB Y Cable: Your Photon supplies a miniscule amount of power (about 100mA) so you will need to make or purchase a USB Y Cable. This will allow your USB devices to be powered from a charger while connecting to your Photon as host:USB Y Cable: Read about it here.
[*]A charger with at least 1A+ (1000mA+) of power. You will want to keep the phone charged while powering accessories.A Note of Caution: You can find this in many places. Remember that the power rating is very important but be aware that a cheap charger may overvolt under certain load conditions and damage components. This isn't incredibly common, but it can happen. Just be mindful. I use an iEssentials 2.1A charger that I found for a reasonable price.
[*]A handy app called:USB Host Diagnostics by Chainfire:Find it here.
Remember that support for USB Host Mode must be built/baked into the kernel for OTG to work.
I use:
Cybik's CM7 Nightlies
Oleg Fusion 1.3 CM7 Kernel
A few things I forgot:
If you can only find a USB Y Cable with three male connectors, you will need a USB Female to Female adapter (AKA Gender Changer) to connect a male end of the USB Y Cable to a USB Hub or Accessory.USB Gender Changer: F/F:Example: Amazon
The connections should look like this:
USB Host Cable to Phone
USB Y Cable: Male to USB Host Cable: Female
USB Y Cable: Male to USB Charger: Female
with gender changer:
USB Y Cable: Male to Female/Female adapter to USB Hub or Accessory: Male
without gender changer:
USB Y Cable: Female to USB Hub or Accessory: Male
YMMV. Good luck!
I currently use a USB 2.0 flash drive with a USB 2.0 OTG adapter.
The transfer speeds can be a little slow.
I see there are USB 3.0 OTG adapters on eBay such as this one: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/311139411713
If I hook a USB 3.0 flash drive to this adapter, will I be able to transfer files at USB 3.0 speeds?

From my testing 3.0 speeds were only seen from pc accessing phones internal storage. Read write of external sd didn't change and usb host mode I am 99.9% sure only supports 2.0.
Btw, I use the 3.0 otg connector just because it fits more snug, totally prefer it over 2.0 micro cable even though the pins go unused.
is it possible to connect fysical keyboard with connector usb-c normal male / usb 3.0 female ? Read something about OTG, but don't understand it well. If I try, is there a chance I break the working of the tablet ?
OTG is working, and if a tablet or phone doesn't have OTG then you can't break it by plugging in an adaptor.
It's also USB 3.0, and can power an external hard-drive (not just any old hard-drive, a usb to sata adapter with laptop drive!)
