Hello,

I need to run a command on my android phone. It's actually a bash script I wrote and installed in /system/xbin/. I can open a terminal emulator and type the command, but would prefer having an icon to graphically run the command with a single tap.

How can I add an icon to run a custom command?

Hi,

I need some way of getting public transit routes from Google Maps. There used to be a bunch of apps that supported this (gMaps, PublicTransit, PublicTransport), but lately it seems that they've all been pulled off the Marketplace for some reason. And trying to access Google Maps directly using IE, fails as well.

Would appreciate any help; my phone is pretty much useless for me without this. :(

Thanks.

If you put the phone's browser in "Desktop" mode, it may be possible to use the Google site. It'll be... awkward, though. Similarly, Bing Maps (the website, but not the built-in app for some reason) also offers directions by transit, and with a bit of effort can be accessed using the phone's browser.

If you just want to look up routes and route planners, that information is probably available from the transit agency directly. If you want a bus-stop finder and arrival time info, use the OneBusAway app (or site, but the app is very well-made).

Yeah I'm going to buy new headphones for basic usage with my phone. Right now I'm considering Jabra HALO2. I read that they can be wireless and wired, great bass and they are comfortable. I haven't tested myself but they have good ratings in many reviews.

Sony has no option to toggle auto brightness. That is why you are facing the consequences. Well, I know an app for that.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shooshka:
Hi all :)

1 noob question - I've rooted my device (.17) then change build.prop to tweaked one and see in settings that my device .26 now. Is it normal? I don't agree with OTA update yet...

UPD: And now it's US_epad, don't remember what was, think WW(bought in Russia, for Russian market).

UPD2: Answer myself - restore original build.prop and get .17 and WW in "About" screen :)

2nd question about rooting - Does Voodoo OTA rootkeeper works on tf300t?

I click on "Protect root", wait ~1-2 mins and... nothing.. checkboxes doesn't changes.

1,2 and 4 BEFORE clicking on "Protect root" and 1,2 and 4 AFTER.

Strange that "Root permission granted" checkbox unchecked, but I have root, 100% :) Where's my mistake? :(

UPD3: Answer myself too - RootKeeper don't request root rights itself. I click "Superuser" --> Settings --> Auto answer(don't know how it looks in English) --> Allow (was Request) and after that RootKeeper works well! Maybe will usefull for other ppls :)

UPD4: All good, updated to .26 by OTA, restore root by RootKeeper :F

PS. Sorry for my bad English ^_^
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXKSSnapper:
The build.prop includes the version number and such, so when you applied the build.prop from the development section, you changed what is displayed. This shouldn't cause a problem as long as you restore your original build.prop before updating to a new firmware.

This is a new zip file for install this Boot menu in our pro

Reboot into clockwordmod and choose

install from zip

reboot

If you want overclock (max 1200), you must edit manually overclock.cfg in the bootmenu/config folder and set clk4 to 1200

Then on reboot >recovery>make backup

reboot then again..

boot > set default > Normal

back, back, reboot...

NOW...,

DO NOT INSTALL THE DROID 2 BOOTSTRAP ONCE YOU INSTALL THIS zip. IN ORDER TO GET INTO RECOVERY, REBOOT YOUR PHONE, THEN WAIT FOR THE LED TO FLASH BLUE. IF YOU PRESS THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON WHEN IT'S BLUE THEN IT WILL TAKE YOU INTO THE DEDICATED BOOT MENU. FROM THERE SELECT RECOVERY, THEN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

You'll have a md5 error, but it is all ok... try..

If you have installed previous version, remove from boot menu, reinstall droid 2 bootstrapper, reboot into recovery and install from zip..

Theoretically its not a problem as I can roam onto the Orange network by manually selecting the network. However, it seems that as soon as the t-mobile network is available, the phone automatically reverts to it and my problems start all over again.
