One thing that i like on my older phone, a Sony Ericsson W800i, is the light (camera light, but you can use it without the camera). So i thought about a solution for my Freerunner and the result is the following article. At least ⇒ At own's risk ;)
and you have a light for your Freerunner :D
German Wikipedia-article about the universal serial bus ⇒ http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Farbkodierung_und_Pinouts
Cut the usb cable and seperate the rubber of the usbmini connector and remove the pins 2,3,4 (a lower risk of a short circuit). Now solder the components according to the schematic. WARNING ⇒ risk of a short circuit on the metal parts of the connector. Check the circuit without the metal part, if it works.
When i searched for a good solution to activate the host-mode of the freerunner i found this blog entry
Joseph Reeves modified his usbmode-button package after a few suggestions by me and here is his new blog-article with Version 0.2
Thanks Joseph Reeves :D
You can toggle the host-mode on and off with a click on the icon. It works!

Improvements? Ideas!
It works but it's not very beautiful, perhaps you have any ideas. Mail me :D
