Guest rjm2k Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Great stuff, can this be added to the main git archive for the blade kernel so it's in all releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to do a fork on github like I did on the Nexus One, but I'm confused what kernel tree the definite one would be.

Guest fonix232 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 No, it's Micro AB. Actually, the screenshot is shitty, the Nokia N8 uses the same standard MicroUSB B port what all Nokia phones (I am charging my Blade with my old 5800's USB cable). And yes, the power question is another one, any way to redirect power-out in kernel to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for everyone! :P until a rom is created you would have to push the modules to your phone. though hold off until it's found if this http://sven.killig.de/android/Blade/usb_host/boot.img boot.img is TFT compatible. where is Sven when you need him Edited January 12, 2011 by hecatae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oh!dougal Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) ... though hold off until it's found if this http://sven.killig.de/android/Blade/usb_host/boot.img boot.img is TFT compatible. where is Sven when you need him Sven's own Blade came from Switzerland, and thus (pretty much certainly) would have a TFT screen. And anyway a TPT install/partition can sort out any post-experimentation colour problems by reflashing. This is something waiting to be picked up by a rom Dev ... I've already told kallt some times, but looks like he don't want to include it :S My guess is that with the popularity of his Jellyfish among n00bs, kk already has his hands more than full with basic support questions. Something like this, unexpected by newcomers and requiring at least some different cabling, would likely significantly add to his support burden. Maybe when things have settled down a little ... ... unless anyone wants to make this their specialist subject, as an add-in package? (It shouldn't be rom-release-version dependent, should it?) Do we need Blade-specific mode-switching scripts, or anything else like that? Edited January 13, 2011 by oh!dougal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oh!dougal Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 ... Do we need Blade-specific mode-switching scripts, or anything else like that? Seems that Host Mode was unlocked on the Advent Vega (tablet) just before Christmas here's a guide http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...de-to-usb-host/ and lots of people found that lots of devices would work http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...devices-a-list/ (5 page thread) and before New Year someone called "Paul" had written a little 'mode switcher' app http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...slave-switcher/ (4 page) ... P.S. I'll be posting the source for this on my GitHub when I've tidied it up a little. :D "Soon" ... I expect it would make a good starting point for a Blade mode-switcher ...

Guest oh!dougal Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) have you tried the app, might work as is Not tried. If I thought that the host-mode stuff on the Advent bore a close relation to Sven's work, then perhaps. I believe its just going to be a simple user interface for if button_A then (run a little script as root) elseif button_B then (run the other little script as root) endif where both the relevant scripts are part of the Advent host mode zip download I don't think Sven scripted his work.

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 ...

Guest oh!dougal Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 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 ... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
