Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
 

No. And no. Please reread the complete announcement - this is a TEST kernel, not supoosed to be used productive, and Mohammad reported it sucks battery like there's no tomorrow, with PR1.3 rootfs. It also has bugs as I remarked in other thread, and we don't plan to update this test kernel to PR1.3. We'll come up with another alpha release, based on better operation scheme, eventually (It's ready when it's ready! PLEASE don't ask)

cheers

Jesus goddamned christ, can you learn to read a &#@$+*& thread please

@MohammadAG

can you release next new version of usb hostmode kernel with usbnet drivers? And can you release hostmode kernel based on titan power kernel (instead nokia production kernel)?

A lot of user use titan power kernel and will be nice if usb hostmode will work on titan based power kernel (which has all other modules...). And using USB <--> RJ45 conectors is not working because usbnet modules is not compiled in usb host mode kernel.

I can see why it does drain battery so much in hostmode so would it perhaps be possible to make it so that one can turn hostmode on and off at will when running? Then it'd be a small matter to whip up a tray icon app that allows you to tap "Hostmode ON" and "Hostmode OFF".

Anyways, I am willing to become a tester for this if needed. I have a wide assortment of USB devices, and while I personally don't have a need for USB hostmode I can imagine it being very useful for others. So, do drop me a PM if you need more testers.

**SIGH**
Please would you bother to read the whole thread! As suggested by nman 3 above.

I don't get it how somebody can pester mohammad about something that's been clearly answered 2 posts before he does.

@WereCatf: Hostmode on/off has always been the plan, and even is included in Mohammad's hostmode.py GUI since beginning. We're planning to have a tray icon eventually, but for now you'll have to use hostmode GUI and there the button bottom right

And this is why I asked previously for some hard moding in this thread! Stupid questions only make the developers angry! They spend their precious time for the community and they get for their work stupidity in pure state!

Just a note for anyone who wants to get the N8 OTG adapter, don't.
USB port types are confusing, I'll leave the naming to joerg_rw, it seems the N8 adapter is a rectanglular shape, without the round corners, the N900's cable works in the N8, but not vice versa.
