I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2 .
I've recently been digging into USB host mode and I finally activated it. However when I connect my phone to the PC it doesn't give me a notification about "USB connected". It only charges the phone (that means it's connected).
----------
How I activate USB host mode :
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/ehci-hcd.ko
or by using Module Loader App .
----------
How I tried to deactivate USB host mode (which failed):
su
rmmod ehci_hcd
and when I list the mods using
lsmod
it returns that ehci_hcd mod isn't there
My question here is how can I deactivate the mode in a way that USB Mass Storage would work?
----------
**NOTE:** I saw USB Mass Storage Not Working question and it doesn't work.

I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2.
I've recently installed the usb host package and some time then I successfully activated the usb host mode.
after that I needed to format a flash drive using ONLY my phone.
my phone doesn't recognize thumb drives, but I mount them on /mnt/sdcard/data folder.
So I wanted to know if there's any command in the terminal emulator that can format a usb drive.
**NOTE:** I've already tried "mkfs" command it doesn't exist,I won't accept answers telling me to format it on my PC.

I want to know if I take the
mkfs.ext3
file, or any other mkfs file, from another Linux system like Ubuntu, and put it with my mkfs.vfat
and mkfs.ext2
located at /system/xbin
, Would it work?
And how can I call them from terminal emulator?
If relevant, I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2.
----------
**EDIT:**
I realized that it cannot be taken from Ubuntu or any non-ARMv6 built system ,so my question now is: Where can I find binaries that are built for ARMv6 phone? (at least mkfs ones(except mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext2,I already have them) ).

I've seen this discussion about cm10 boot looping and I did flash it using the same way that worked with him ,boot looped.And this discussion too ,but CWM 6 isn't compatible with my phone.
So, I am asking here ,What can I do to make it boot or it's not compatible?

I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2 .
I've recently been testing things on my recently activated OTG I've tried to connect a USB Portable HDD, However when I connect the HDD the LED flashes like it's reading/writing , dmesg notices it :
[12, khubd] [10776.834610] usb 1-1.4: new full speed USB device using msm_hsusb_host and address 40

[12, khubd] [10777.022149] usb 1-1.4: uevent
done.
that is what dmesg says directly after connecting.
and when I write
lsusb
on terminal emulator it returns :
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 001 Device 041: ID 058f:9254
Bus 001 Device 042: ID 174c:5106
one of them is always there,and another one is the USB Hub ,and another is the USB HDD
I already successfully mounted an NTFS Flash Drive (Fromatted using Minitool partition wizard ,mounted using Paragon NTFS&HFS+ ) then the problem isn't the File System
----------
**EDIT :**
Error when trying to mount USB flash drive that is NTFS formatted :
mount: mounting /dev/block/uba1 on /sdcard/data failed: Invalid argument
Error when trying to mount NTFS formatted portable HDD :
mount: mounting /dev/block/uba on /sdcard/data failed: No medium found
that means that the error in the HDD isn't with the NTFS file system.
----------
**EDIT #2:**
I've tried this method but when I try to mount it it gives me this error :
Failed to mount '/dev/block/uba': No medium found

I have Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2.
I have activated
sd-ext
partition using Link2SD, so it's mounted on /data/sdext2
, all the ways to move Dalvik cache to sd-ext
requires ext partition to be mounted on /sd-ext
.
Is there any way to move Dalvik cache to anywhere I want? Or at least to the specified location?

All Unity 3D games result in "Force Close"
I have a Huawei u8160 (A.K.A Vodafone 858 Smart) running CyanogenMod 7.2 Madteam ported. All apps that use unity3d force close on their startup although they are compatible. So I wanted to know if I should install something to make it work or any thing else?
