Change default usb mode setting

[vetteman72]

I have an 8024, does anyone know how to have the usb boot up in host mode by default? I have my tablet in a case with a built in keyboard which is always connected via usb so everytime I boot up, I'm always having to go into settings and change the usb to host mode to recognize the keyboard.'

No need to go to navigate inside Settings: add Power Control widget to one of your workplace screens. Here in my MID1024 the second button from right to left alternates USB between host/device mode, just one tap is needed. Probably it's the same with 8024.

Thanks for the tip! I added the widget. It's not automated but at least provides a one step solution - thanks again!

I have just found this:

# set default usb mode as usb mass storage
ro.default_usb_mode=2

It goes in build.prop. Valid values are 0-4. As it's "ro" (read only), probably you will have to reboot after changing the value in build.prop to test. If you do, please report the results. Thanks.
