Boot Your VegaCream in USB Host Mode

Why in the first place we want to boot vegacream to USB host mode?
There are a number of reason, people want this but of course the right answer is, because they want to connect a peripheral to their tablet usb port. In VegaCream, whether it is on Advent Vega, POV Mobii, or Zyrex OnePad, the default USB mode is peripheral. If you plug a mouse in to the USB port, the mouse wont be detected, but if you connect your tablet to PC, the computer will recognize it as a peripheral.

I found this from tablet ROM, a post by icpart, stating that changing value of /sys/usbbus/host_mode from 0 to 1 will make the tablet using USB host mode. This is achievable by first gaining super user access or root in a terminal. Then add a line in /etc/vega_postboot.sh to change this value. The default value is of course 0.
Step-by-step:
1. Power on your tablet running VegaCream
2. Open a terminal window
3.Obtain super user privilege by typing "su" [enter]
4. type: echo "echo 1 > /sys/usbbus/host_mode" >> /etc/vega_postboot.sh
5. close the terminal window
6. done

Next time you boot, VegaCream will be in USB host mode.
