Is ZTE Skate USB Host capable ?

[Guest Rosz]

Hello OMC fellows,

Any idea if ZTE Skate is USB Host capable, I would love to put my external storage on it.

Thanks!

I made som experiments in the past and ended up with a kernel that has USB Host support compiled in but never had a chance

to test it since I didn't have the necessary hardware (externaly powered hub or Y cable). So I don't know if it actually works.

One thing I know for sure is that it has a problem causing massive battery drain (usb host module keeping the kernel wakelock all the time

preventing the CPU from entering sleep mode). I was not able to solve this so I abandoned the development.

Here is the kernel: http://tinyw.in/cPqU

Can be used on Android 2.3.5 roms only.

Thanks for the reply.

I do have Android 2.5.3. And I downloaded Android Hos Controller from Google Play, but it seems that the USB Host module is not compiled with the kernel, I am using your Skatie 2.4 ROM.
