Yes, you should have received an error message during the install. Usbmode does need kernel-power51r1.

No, CSSU-Thumb + usbmode works nicely, file-manager opens automatically if i put any USB-Drive into my USB-Hub. Works well with 2TB Fat32 HDD, 32GB Flash-drive etc...

/Edit: Sure you need kp51r1 for usbmode to work ;)

Amazing job pali!

Suggestion for next version - Better support for USB devices other than flash drives (e.g. keyboards, mice, CD-ROM drives, Ethernet adapters etc).

@NiQ: This is USB Mode switcher. It has nothing with flash drivers. All drivers are in kernel.

For Mouse & Keyboard support you need applications (extmouse, extkbd)

I already using USB ethernet adapter and working fine.

It is your choice use thumb or not. In first post clearly writed that CSSU-testing is more than enough to use USB Mode switcher!

Here are many factors on which depend the battery usage. You need test yourself to know the answer :)

About the performance improvements by installing THUMB ? It is nothing related to USB Host switcher. BUT, thumb improves the overall system speed a bit, so yes it can help a bit to speed up things, responsiveness if you was asking for that. Read a thumb thread and again you can know the answer if u test yourself..

But it does include some flash-drive-oriented functions such as automatically mount it and open the file manager. You can do similar things for other devices, e.g. if the device detected is a mouse, enable a pointer etc.
