"XCD 35 open source code for Android Eclair" → Android 2.1 → kernel 2.6.29

Is it possible to add support for "ZTE BLADE series-Froyo kernel(2.6.32)" (source http://support.zte.c...x?type=service)?

Since Sven's original work was on 2.2 (for his Nexus One), my belief is that it should not be particularly hard to do.

However, to be truly useful, there needs to be some EASY way of host/slave mode switching.
As noted upthread, Paul knocked together a switcher for the Advent tablet.
Just another small piece of the jigsaw that is 'almost there'.

Of course the best means of mode switching would be the standard cable-select 'USB On The Go' (OTG) method ...

the zte 2.6.32 github has usb host mode added already, just no apk has been created to switch between host and slave modes

[oh!dougal]

Well, my OTG-compatible cable has arrived from China, but I'm now rather wedded to 2.2 and Sven's Blade stuff was for 2.1 ...

Features:
USB OTG... (anyone has the actual adapter for USB otg....?) this part is untested....


I've waited for this a long time, tried to compile my own kernel to get it working, and now I have wasted 5 days because I didn't read this
-->testing

how to push drivers to folder modules ?
adb push drivers /system/lib/modules  ??
push the drivers and the folders or only the folders ?
i´´m really confused
help please

[spaic]

Any chance this could be done to the LG P500/Optimus One?

The chipset is the same, not sure if it can provide power to USB in OTG mode, but that would not be a very big issue.

Also, when connecting the power supply it says something about "USB OTG going into low power mode" in dmesg.

Have tried with a hacked OTG cable and external power supply for the USB hub, but it behaves just like connecting a charger.

I'm trying to figure out if the Japanese Jellyfish ROM has support for USB OTG. Does anyone know anything about that?
All I'm trying to do is to connect my digital camera do my phone in order to push some photos to the phone when I'm not near a PC.

[Plxply]

Just to let everyone know, it has been announced that Android 3.1 will contain USB Host mode.

Where did you purchase your cable, and what is the exact model?

Just search for 'micro usb host' on Ibay and set it to price + shipping lowest first.
First result will do I guess. You just need a male micro usb to a female regular usb. Do not buy the usb host adapters for the nokia N8, this micro usb male is different(it's rectangular, the corners won't fit on our blade's regular micro usb female port) from the other micro usb male connectors.
*Praying for USB-host on CM7*

Could you please attach a link to the cable you bought?

Anyone any idea what exactly has to be done to enable/disable USB host mode?

Sorry, I can't advertise, just search as I said above your post.
