Nice, even easier. If someone wants to change directories they can copy past somewhere else first to edit.

To create OTG host buttons:

1. Launch x-term
2. cat >/home/user/MyDocs/Otg.sh
2.a. paste code

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# usb otg mode script
# use gainroot to become root and relaunch itself
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
# if not already root, call itself as root
sudo gainroot <<EOF
$0 $*
EOF
exit
fi
echo otg > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

2.b. press Ctrl and enter a lowercase d.
3. chmod +x /home/user/MyDocs/Otg.sh

repeat for cat >/home/user/MyDocs/Host.sh with this code:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# usb host mode script
# use gainroot to become root and relaunch itself
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
#if not already root, call itself as root
sudo gainroot <<EOF
$0 $*
EOF
exit
fi
echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

From this point you can use Status Bar mentioned below, personal toolbar and/or continue to make an Icon.

1. Launch x-term
2. sudo gainroot
3. cat >/usr/share/applications/hildon/otg.desktop
3.a. paste the following code

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.1
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=USB Otg
Type=Application
Comment=USB On the go mode
Exec=/home/user/MyDocs/Otg.sh
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

3.b. press Ctrl and enter a lowercase d.

again, repeat for cat >/usr/share/applications/hildon/host.desktop

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.1
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=USB Host
Type=Application
Comment=USB host mode
Exec=/home/user/MyDocs/Host.sh
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
