usbmode depends on CSSU's ke-recv. Read the first post. I quote the relevant part for your reading pleasure:

This deb package depends on:

Community SSU
mceledpattern

and kernel which provides (for example kernel-power v51):

kernel-feature-usbhost-new
kernel-feature-battery
kernel-feature-charger
Make sure you read the first post fully and make sure that you fulfill all dependencies before installing the package.

Re: Announce: USB Mode (easy switch to USB host mode)
 
Anyone able to use ntfs formatted flash drives or hdd's. After power kernel v51 with pali's usb mode I am not able to use my ntfs flash drives. And I am getting troubles with my flash drives some times usb mode does not working or connecting my flash drives correctly sometimes work perfectly. I have problem with My Toshiba trans memory 16gb flash drive i think power 51 does not have this driver. Because i am not able to use fat or other formats. But this mode is very easy some flash drives mounting in 30 seconds automatically.

Thank you pali thank you for your hard work.

Thanks for advance.

Sorry for my bad english.

Installed the 52 and when I choose USB host mode it tells me "Error: charger attached".

I experience the same error message when trying to mount a USB stick. Maybe it is related to the battery changes in the latest kernel.

Pali, would you please have a look at this? Thanks in advance :)

@byemre, NTFS is still problematic on linux desktop. So you do not expect that NTFS will work on N900 without any problem. Rather use some working linux filesytem as ext3.

@azkay, you cannot start usb host mode if external power supply is connected.

Pali,
There is no external power supply attached in my case ...

@ade, I forgot to write that new kernel-power v52 is incompatible with usbmode.sh script. New version of usbmode (which will be compatible with both v51 and v52) I upload in next days. Here is (unreleased) patch: https://gitorious.org/rx51-bme-repla...ec77f8b9fbaff9

Yeah, I didn't have a charger in either.
I'll try that, thanks.

Great app!
This should have been included by Nokia with the phone but we know that story.
Makes sense to put it up with other status bar connect functions like WiFi and Bluetooth rather than loading an an app like with H-E-N.
Very professional, works great!
When will it be on the repos?

Re: Announce: USB Mode (easy switch to USB host mode)
 
One thought on an already amazing system app for the N900.
Perhaps put a colored USB symbol in the notification area similar to the blue one when mass storage is running, perhaps red and green to indicate host mode charging/boost is running.
Not sure what color or modified icon best indicates host with charge capable vs host with boost mode, maybe based on the OTG symbol?
