[MODULES][ARC][NEO][FW:4.0.A.2.368] USB-OTG {Storage, Keyboard & Mouse}

1. Xperia Arc (Neo?/Play?) on FW: 4.0.A.2.368
2. preferably rooted + busybox installed
3. USB-OTG hardware cable
4. Terminal Emulator app
5. [OPTIONAL] adb Wireless app

1. download the modules and push the modules to /system/lib/modules/
   
   
2. use adb shell or terminal emulator to enter following code/commands
   
   
3. Code:

   su
   cd/system/lib/modules/
   busybox insmod usbhid.ko
   busybox insmod usbmouse.ko
   busybox insmod usbkbd.ko
   busybox insmod usb-storage.ko

4. check if all modules are live are not:
   
   Code:

   lsmod

   
   
   
   
5. done the modules are LIVE!
   
6. [IMP] u will have to manually reload the modules on EVERY boot... unless u use start-up scripts which will take care of this!

1. download app: http://android.gval.biz/download/Q5_USB_Memory_Manager.apk
2. follow instructions: http://android.gval.biz/Q5_USB_Menory_Manager.php
3. the usb storage device should now be mounted to /usb_storage/
4. u will need to use RootExplorer for this to work

• before u begin/connect device there are few things which need to be done
  
  
• creating necessary directory structure
  
  Code:

  su
  cd /sdcard/
  mkdir usbStorage
  chmod 777 usbStorage

• now connect the usb storage device via usb-otg cable to phone
  
• now enter the following command:
  
  Code:

  dmesg

• at the last part u will see some info of connected device (an if it was rejected due to power issues)
  
  
  
  
  
• now enter
  
  Code:

  ls -l /dev/block/sd*

• u will get output similar to the one posted below
  
  
  
  note if the last part: /dev/block/sda1
  
  
• finally mount this device (following is generic command... for NTFS specific command read this post)
  
  
  Code:

  mount /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/usbStorage

• if u get no error then enjoy usb storage is now mounted
  
  
• to unmount usbstorage (following is generic command)
  
  Code:

  umount /dev/block/sda1

  
  if that doesnt work try the following command: (this will try to force unmount)
  
  
  Code:

  umount -f /dev/block/sda1

  
  if that doesnt work try the following commandthis will try to force unmount and remove loop) [use this as LAST resort]
  
  
  Code:

  umount -f -l /dev/block/sda1

if u feel that this work has helped u OR u think that the work i put into making this is worthy of donations, then click on the following link for buying me some coffee/beer/etc

1. USB-STORAGE
   
2. USB-HID
   
3. USB-KEYBOARD
   
4. USB-MOUSE

1. usb mouse works but there is no cursor... but u can move around and select (left click on stuff)
2. when using usb-storage mode some devices will not be mountable if:
   • they require more power (u can check this in dmesg)
   • they have filesystem not supported by ur current kernel
3. sometimes the mounted usb-storage files wont appear using some apps... i have tested it to be wrking using RootExplorer... though it will work in adb shell/terminal emulator also...

P.S.: all these features will be included in next version of DooMKernel for all supported Xperia 2011 devices

Im using your latest kernel for neo. Lsmod is ok all modules are loaded. I think it because of missing utf8 in kernel.
