I have started to wonder if Nokia is actually not allowed to assist in these efforts to determine how to manually turn the USB controller to hostmode, due to USB Consortium crap, or if its just due to the bme system being closed-source. Does the partial OTG software implementation in the drivers provide any actual benefits beyond pure peripheral mode? Or is it there because they started work on OTG and realized they couldn't finish it, and reworked that code instead of removing all the OTG-ness.

I have been wondering about literally hacking the bme. basically, the program would not change, and maybe with the magic of LD_PRELOAD and some tracing, we'd fake out the syscalls/library calls it would make (akin to how rootkits hide themselves).
