So by using the iPad Camera Connection Kit, you can attach a USB keyboard to the iPad and use it to a somewhat limited extent.

So when you plug it in, it gives you the message in the title of this thread:

Cannot Use Device
USB Keyboard: The connected device is not supported.

So you close the message and you're able to use the keyboard. Ok.

The problem is, as long as the keyboard is plugged in, that message will intermittently pop up. That ends up becoming a problem when you want to leave the keyboard plugged in because if you're screen is turned off it will turn back on when the message comes up, and will stay on until you dismiss the message; which is a problem if you want to leave your iPad unattended because the battery life will drain.

So my question is: Is there a way through a jailbreak Cydia tweak to prevent that message from coming up and still have the keyboard work?

Also, there's a Youtube video that shows you how to attach a Flash Drive to the iPad through a USB hub and access the files through iFile; and no message pops up. This procedure doesn't prevent the message with the keyboard; I tried it.

Thanks.
