I am wanting to write a script to change my UV without using Voltage Control, but I have no idea how. Could someone point me to instructions, or possibly write it for me? Thanks in advance.

voltage control will write the scrpit and put it in the /system/etc/init.d directory but you need to set that directory to read/write, i use root explorer for this. you can view the script in a text editor via root explorer and you will see what it is doing if you want to mimic it.

But isn't that just the boot settings? Or are the apply now settings there too? I'm trying to change it with tasker.

oh, mis understood. ok then what is wrong with using voltage control?
ill look into it. not sure off the top of my head,
edit: wait what am i saying i know this. the script is the same. putting it in init.d just is a place to make the phone run it on boot. you can copy that script anywhere and edit it for alternate setting and execute it yourself.

Ok sweet. I want it in tasker because I cant UV as much when its plugged in without CD, so I then could lower the UV when it's plugged in, then raise when unplugged. Thank you!

there is or used to be an application called sl4a (scripting layer for android) i dont know where to get it but there is a market app called scripter that is essencially the same. if you put the script on the sd card and import it into scripter and it will give you the ability to shortcut to it, you can use taster to open the shortcut automatically under whatever situation you are changing settings or just put the shortcut on the desktop and open it like an application. you should be able to give scripter su permissions to run it. scripter is nice to have because it also adds a support for all file extensions to android. any file extension that doesnt run in another app will just be tagged as a scripter file so you can download any file type in the stock browser of send and recieve them in mms and email with the stock apps.
also i dont know much about scripting, im still learning. i understand the commands and this one is simple just echos some numbers into configuration files, but im not sure of what can be used within the script. it may be possible to add an su command at the start of the script or start each command "sudo". not sure though, if this doesn't work then scripter is definately the way to go.
after years of windows i am more comfortable with a gui that a terminal window, but i get by.
I don't see a way to create a shortcut to my script in scripter....
oh sorry i was mistaken. you can do it in launcher pro activities i thought it shows in shortcuts but i was wrong. im not sure if tasker can use launcher pro activities. let me see if there is an alternate way. did you try putting su in the script and see if that works?

When I tried launcher pro activities, it force closed anyway. And I tried su once, but ill try again.
Edit: yeah, su doesnt work. And tasker doesn't return errors when something fails. I have to check voltage control to see if it worked.

sorry. about that, search google for sl4a. that is what tasker expects you to have when you launch scripts anyway. that is why it wants you to have the script in /sdcard/sl4a/scripts
i would assume sl4a would work better in combinations with tasker. hope that it works! ill try to find it.
running the script from the stock file manager or some other meathods will run scripter and ask for su permissions but i have been trying it as well to see what trouble you are having and for some reason when the script is started by tasker scripter doesn't get launched. i assumed it would work because in most situations scripter acts just like sl4a but in this case i was wrong.
edit: here is sl4a http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/

not working for me. sl4a force closes. i dont know how to get it to use super user, it may need something in the script or maybe there is a super user version, or maybe it is just out dated and doesn't work in froyo. im not really sure. im about to talk to my brother who knows all about bash scripts in linux and sh scripts are similar. maybe he has an idea. unfortunately he doesn't have an android phone but if he did he would be the person to ask.
Yeah, it keeps fcing on me too... I don't know.

Sup fellas. I am wondering if it is possible to run the custom ROM posted by Robbbit in a device emulator? I have tried the following, but it is not working.
1. Flashed the Rommmmit ROM
2. Did a Nandroid backup (Not sure if this is correct, but was the easiest way I knew to get the rom in a system.img format)
3. In CMD I CD to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
4. Got the Android 2.2 API level and ID by entering 'android list target' in CMD
5. Created the virtual device with 'android create avd -n Rommmmit -t 7' (I changed none of the hardware options and left them all as defaulted)
6. Copied the system.img from Nandroid to 'C:\Users\<user>\.android\avd\Rommmmit.avd
7. Attempted to run emulator with 'emulator -avd Rommmmit'
All of the steps appeared to work without issue. However, when the emulator launches it sits on the black screen with grey 'Android' text and becomes unresponsive. I have tried multiple times and even tried to launch from Eclipse by going to Windows/Android SDK and AVD Manager and selecting start, both have the same unresponsive result.
If I am doing something wrong in those steps please let me know. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, if there is a better way to convert the rom from the .zip to system.img I'd like to know that as well.
(BTW, props to Robbbbit for the first custom SGS4G ROM. If you haven't flashed it, what are you waiting for???)
Coworker was doing something similar. Ill ask him for you tomorrow and get back to you if i have an answer!

I am posting this in the Developer forum, because it is still a little more than a In-experienced user can handle at the moment, and the potential to get into a bootloop is a little higher if you are not familiar with what you are doing here.
If you are at all new / uncomfortable with Android, UNIX/LINUX, this phone, or adb, then: PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
If you get into a bootloop I am not responsible for this, nor is this the place to complain if that happens. You can ask for support here though if this process has caused that.
If you do get into a bootloop, then try and help me out, with providing as much info as possible with what happened (any output or screen prints are VERY helpful). I am also posting the original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file here AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. That way if it does all go wrong it is here to grab. So don't go asking for it someplace else, or even asking here for it.
You have been warned!
Now with that out of the way, on to the good stuff.
1) Go grab some kind of bloat freeze program, from the market. I have used bloat freezer from the market with great success.
Just download and install it, don't run it just yet, if you already have, and frozen the "Device Health Application", then unfreeze it, and reboot, before doing the next step.
It is VERY important that it is done in EXACTLY this order. The reason is, if the Device Health program is frozen when you let the init script run, it will not work exactly as it should and these services will restart, since part of it is frozen when it first runs, and it all has to be disabled in the proper way, so that it can not be restarted remotely, or we will HAVE to use cron to run checks. Cron is an elaborate hack, I don't want to have to do, unless we HAVE to. If you do it in the exact order noted here, cron will not be needed and this will not restart.
2) Go get the init.goldfish.sh file from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/init.goldfish.sh.tar
push this tarball to your phone:
Code:
adb push init.goldfish.sh.tar /data/local/
End code
Now is the command line part of this hack.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
tar -xvf init.goldfish.sh.tar
cp /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh /sdcard/init.goldfish.sh
cp ./init.goldfish.sh /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chown root /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
chmod 550 /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
mount -o remount, ro /system
reboot
End code
Now when your phone comes back up:
3) Open your bloat freezer program and freeze the "Device Health Application"
Your phone will freak out, and tell you that Device Health has stopped and it will keep asking you to FC, all you can do is pull the battery.
Put the battery back in the phone an boot it up.
Now CarrierIQ should be 100% disabled on your Atrix 2.
As promissed, here is the Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file in a tarball, just use the same code above to put this back in place.
DON'T USE ROOT EXPLORER TO COPY THESE FILES INTO PLACE!!!
Original /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file:

LOL....
Hopefully I have not scared everyone from trying this.... I just want to let all the newbies who just got this as thier first android phone yesterday, and rooted it today, and now think that this is a good hack to try, that this is not the best thing for them just yet. It can and will bootloop the phone if you get too excited and don't follow the directions exactly... I got mine in a bootloop testing this all out, and finding the exact steps, but it was not hard to get out of, because it gets into android enough to let you adb in, if you screw up...
quick question: Why would rooting followed by freezing not work for that application? I think I did that when I got the phone. I don't see anything called Device Health in my running or installed applications.
Is carrierIQ still running on my phone? Have you got a string I can look for in the 'ps' output in the Terminal to confirm? There are 100000 processes running on these phones these days, most with cryptic names.... I miss the G1 days....

No just freezing the device health app just stops the collection process.
The part where you run the commands to stop the services in android are where the data can and will be sent to CIQ or AT&T, there are other things collected that att does not care much about (ATT only wants what is collected with the dev health app), and that goes straight to CIQ, so the services at the OS level are VERY important to stop. There is really not a way to see them running, but I have found that these can and will restart if my instructions are not followed 100%. To find out if CIQ is doing anything take a look on youtube there is a video that explains how to look at the system logs and see what is being collected if anything, and what is being sent out. After a lot of trial and error, I found this is the ONLY way to stop it 100%.
Hey Jim. sorry I've been out of the forums for so long on this. I was going to dig around my atrix2 and see what I could find wrt carrieriq. I got stuck on missing shell tools and you gave me some advice wrt paths and such. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for fixing up my env when I shell in? I also don't seem to have grep anywhere... odd.
YOu mentioned doing some of the destructive work in an emulator, and I would like to try the same thing, but I've no idea how to get the atrix2 ROM into an emulator. How did you accomplish this?
I followed the instructions above precisely and verified that my init.goldfish.sh is indeed modified correctly with the carrieriq stuff, and have suffered no ill effects. I have not, however, attempted to determine if carrieriq processes have stopped running. I did notice that after having frozen and unfrozen device.health.monitor a few times, it doesn't ever register as a running app... wonder what's up with that.
thanks for the help.
I was wondering....could this be made into a handy dandy flashable zip?

NICE! you really are a jedi master!
Who wants to be the first to try this out? I have created a flashable zip to disable CIQ on every boot, all you have to do is grab the file below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/NoCIQ.zip
Then with CWM, flash it, don't wipe anything, except maybe dalvic cache, but nothing else. This will only flash one file to your phone.
You will still have to freeze the device health app as in the OP.
This is just a test right now, once someone other than me tests this, and reports back, that all is great, then I will update the OP, to this method.

I just rooted my phone, applied the hack and used Titanium Backup to freeze the Device Health App but I didn't see any FC.
Although when I opened Ti Backup, it told me that my su right are wrong. They are 4755 instead of 6755 or something like that and TiBu told me that it will fix it. I fixed it then froze the app and no FC or nothing. Phone is running fine but not sure if it worked.
Is it really necessary for the app to FC in order to show that it worked?
Should I try it all over again?
Thank you.

Hello friends, Please note that i tried installing ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 but it refused to setup for some reason, even though i did everything right i.e. holding down the down vol key and power button etc but like others i only get the green android with the exclamation mark in the middle, so i do not have a backup unfortunately ;(
Anyway the story starts here:
Please be patient with me though as i am new to all this but learning fast.
Got a new Asus transformer TF101 (with keyboard) for only 5 days with
Device serial: B70KAS3?????
Build number: HMJ37.WW_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711
Android version: 3.1
Didnt know about Razorclaw ability to root B70 :-(
Anyway on going online on the TF101 for the first time, I immediately got a message saying there was a new os update available, the TF101 auto downloaded it and i then immediately updated it, thinking that the new update was best for me :-(
After the update, i then had -
Build number: HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
Android version: 3.2.1
Razorclaw doesnt work on my TF101 however i was able to use use the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip update on it and then was able to root using Razorclaw.
After that everything worked fine until i used 'Rom Manager' to create a script that was to change my hostname to my preferred one instead of the usual 'android_????????????', i then set it to do so on boot within 'Rom Manager'.
I then used 'Rom Manager' 'reboot' script to reboot the TF and now it boots then flashes locked screen for a second and shuts down and the same thing happens when i power it up again
If i am lucky and quick, i can put in the password and see the desktop just before it shuts down.
I have a feeling it the script i created and set to execute on boot is what is causing the shutdown.
Is there anyway to fix this?
It not a low battery issue, already checked that.
Was thinking along the lines of a key combination to prevent scripts running on boot time.
Dont really want to wipe the TF, as it already taken me 5 days to get it setup how i want it and now this!
It sounds like you have a stock recovery and a buggered up system.
You might be able to recover with adb, but you'll have to know what to stop/kill before it reboots. If it's enable, adb will be active well before you see the lock screen. There might also be some tools in the android sdk, perhaps ddms.
What exactly is in this rom manager script? Perhaps it is passing a reboot via one of the partitions. You would need to clear the command to stop the reboots or just kill the process that is rebooting.
That's all I gots. Good luck!

thanx for responding mate...appreciated.
the script is just a simple script with just one line with tr3ble being the new hostname, its exactly as below:
setprop net.hostname tr3ble
I'll have a tinker with adb but what how do i search for processes to stop/kill using adb as im not that clued up with linux commands
I'm not a pro either, but I think "ps" will show you the process and "kill <pid>" will kill them. There might be a better way and I haven't tested this, so if you end up in a worse situation than then one you are in, it's all on you.
I don't think that changing the hostname will cause a reboot. I think the "reboot" command from rom manager is somehow stuck. I think it passes a reboot command via one of the partitions so that it can "find" it when it restarts. You would just have to clear the command. I think it's somewhere in the /cache directory, but that is just a guess.

Wow...you are definitely pointing me in the some direction though, in the begining i didnt have a clue what to do and where to look but now i have a few things to try...i'll see how things go with adb and report back.
Thank you for your time and patience mate
Update:
I tried everything i could but just didnt seem to have much time to do much using adb so i bit the bullet and did a data wipe, but to my joy, after the data wipe the TF was still rooted and my adhoc hack was still in place. If only took me bout an hour to then reinstall all my apps, which was more or less easy as i had them all in one folder on my microSD.
So all in all, the data wipe which cured the shutdown after restart wasnt sooo bad afterall.
Thank for your help mate!

So, I'm attempting to root a Charge that the volume keys do not work. Apparently, 1 and 2 year olds who have great throwing ability is something the Charge, well, anything really, doesn't exactly appreciate. Normally, I root by going into the download mode, and flashing CWM, then installing the ROM. Obviously, not happening here.
My question is, has someone with more knowledge than I figured out how to accomplish this? Its running stock FP5. I really don't want to send it in because of the contract timing and wasteful of money. I'm also willing to experiment replacing parts, if someone knows anything about it...
Thanks.

If you have adb all set up and it properly recognizes your phone (something comes up when putting in the adb devices command) you can boot into download mode with
adb reboot download
Actually it's something I looked into recently for another member. I'm not saying it's not possible but I don't think we have the right tools for it. Originally ginger root was used via adb to root the charge but that's not going to work with our version of gb (assuming you could still find it). I'm not sure the format of cwm will work either. I'm not really proficient with adb so someone with more expertise might be able to get you going.

I also couldn't get a shell to run to get back in to uninstall. What I ended up doing to fix was a reinstall of SuperSU and installing a bash shell off a different emulator to get back into tweaktools. This was after I played in /system/etc/init.d awhile trying my hand at fixing it. Thought you may want/need to knoknow.

By the way, thanks for the tip. I'll report one way or another in a day or 2.

Sorry to hear of the troubles - not sure what would have caused the issue with tweaktools. You weren't able to su, or you weren't able to open terminal emulator? What were you messing with specifically in the tweaks?

If you have adb all set up and it properly recognizes your phone (something comes up when putting in the adb devices command) you can boot into download mode with
adb reboot download

Okay, Found it in ADB, and am able to reboot into download, so all is well, I think.
On the tweaktools issue, I kinda did something like this...One tweak does okay, so lets install ALL of them....after that, performed the reboot, and everything went very sloooow. So, I tried to get into a term emulator, and nothing happened, the shell wouldn't even start. Blank screen. So, I tried a different outside of ROM toolbox. Nothing. So, I played around with the settings here and there, and still nothing. I then went into root browser, and started trying to manually move the tweaks out, nothing different. So, I downloaded another term emulator, "Better Terminal Emulator" and got a bash shell to at least open, was able to get into tweaktools, erase all tweaks, clear downloads. But the shells still weren't operating right. They'd open and run, but nothing would show on screen. So, a erase/reinstall of SuperSU, everything good....LOL
Well, maybe it'll help, maybe not, but here's the path I used to do this:
Visit samsung's site for the ADB download and install to c:\android-sdk\ (default)
Put USB Debugging on in phone
Start up command line and Odin 1.82
issue following in command line (notably in the c:\android-sdk\platform-tools)
Code:
adb reboot download
Odin up some Tweaked 2.2 with recovery and kernel for root
once rebooted, issue the following in ADB shell:
Code:
adb shell
su (Checked phone to be sure root was granted)
cd /data
rm -R *
cd /cache
rm -R *
cd /dbdata rm -R *
reboot, then adb reboot download.
Flashed EP4 Stock, updated,
Updated to FP5E
Once again, USB debug, adb reboot download, and Odin Tweaked 3.1 with 0302,
follow above code again, reboot, and I think I have it right....
Since the volume keys don't work on here, is there a way to screw around in the recovery mode via ADB rather than only the keys? I see ADB sees the phone in recovery, and seems to want to connect with it....Second is, is there a way to play with this in the *nix enviroment? I also have been searching for the Gingerbreak, etc to root this thing on stock, but haven't been able to do it....and last, is there a way to do a data wipe other than what I did, and think i accomplished with ADB?
Thanks
With the CWM that I am using, you can use the hard buttons at the bottom of the phone to navigate.
