Thanks to idbl_fanatic, over at Android Forums for finding this!
1. Install Anycut from the android market (it's free)
2. Open Anycut and select "New Shortcut"
3. Now click Activity
4. Scroll down the list of activities until you see "Select COM Port Mode" and click it. Just hit ok to accept the default name
5. You will see a "shortcut created" notification. Go back to your homescreen and look for the new shortcut
6. Once you click the new shortcut you'll see three radio buttons. Simply change to Mass Storage

I actually didn't find this, someone else had posted it on one of the many forums I go to, I just passed it along.
Regardless, it is working flawlessly!
I could cry actually, because I was so scared that my Triumph had a defect, but it actually turned out to be fixable!
I just click on the "turn on usb mass storage" (or something like that) button. Was that not working or something? Downloading an app to do the same thing seems like a bit of overkill to me.

Sometime the TRIUMPH don't see that it is plugged in to the PC, and nothing you can do will fix it.
Ah, that makes sense then. I was curious why you had to do all that, and know I know.
Yeah, this is for those whose PC would not pick up the phone for USB transferring. Keep this in mind as some people have reported the USB working one day, then the next day it won't pick up.

Just wanted to mention that if you're using Launcher Pro or other non stock launchers, you can already create shortcuts without having to install another app. Otherwise, great tip.

Any luck finding which app it goes to, though? On ADW, they don't list everything all jumbled together... they have it spread out in quite a few little submenus.
had no idea there was an issue with this. Mine has taken a wile a few times but never not recognized at all

I don't know about ADW but on launcher pro, you just long press on an empty area of your home screen and select Shortcuts from the long press menu. I can only assume you would do the same thing in adw but I could be wrong.

That's what you do, I just have no idea where the shortcut would be Although I'm still looking for it.
Today I was having an issue with my phone plugging in to my computer, and this little guide saved my butt. Strangely it's been working on and off just fine, and even when it doesn't "connect" PDANet still sees it has appeared. But thanks to this guide it's now working as a pseudo-modem AND a USB device both. Kudos.

It should be under add>Shortcuts > Activities> Hidden Menu. The process for ADW is very similar.

go to the play store app, hit menu > settings > 4th box down is Auto-add Widgets. uncheck that box and return to the main menu. now you should be all set
^As said above.
I have GB market however, and to me it says "Auto add shortcuts". It depends if you're on ICS or GB to know which option you'll get.

you should search for sure, both of you guys this has been covered. the short answer is get anycut and create a link to wifioffloading and disable it.

I managed to find your post where you suggested using anycut. I'm curious as to why it is no longer in the Play Store, but there are paid alternatives :-/
Anyway, I got it from some random website, and I cannot find wifioffload within AnyCut.
edit: Found it! It's called HiddenMenuWifiOffload. Thanks!
Is there a way to remove the ongoing notification?

Hey thanks man, I appreciate it. Wanted to actually thank you instead of just using the button.
Here is the anycut app
http://db.tt/BH6qpCxz
If you don't want to use anycut, and you are using a launcher such as Nova or ADW, you can also access HiddenMenuWifiOffload.
Long press on home screen
Nova: Select "Shortcuts" "Activities"
ADW: Select "Custom Shortcut" "Pick your activity"
Scroll down and click on "Service Mode" then click on HiddenMenuWifiOffload.
Click OK and open your new shortcut.
I tried to post this in another thread, but since it's flagged as a developer section, I'm not allowed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770622
Thanks for sharing this, worked perfectly.
instead of using anycut.... you could use SQLite Editor.
If you go to Settings Storage->settings.db->system->
then go to line 101 which has the name "wifi_offload_network_notify" and change the value from 1 to 0
I was under the impression that root was needed to disable the popup, glad I decided to read this thread . I installed nova and made a shortcut to disable wifioffload and then uninstalled nova. this should be put in a sticky thread somewhere

Anyone who was hoping to be able to use the new launcher (such as myself) will be happy to know that you can! It appears that the option is there in the 4.2 OTA update, it is just hidden from the settings menu. I assume that Asus are probably still working on it and will release it in a future update.
The only modification I made to Droid-Eye's method was to simply use a setting shortcut widget rather than an entire launcher option such as ADW.
I used 'Secure Settings' from Google Play, which is free. Please bear in mind you also need an Ipack for an icon for your shortcut. Luckily Secure Settings has a handy link to download free ones from Google Play when you are setting up your shortcut.
I hope it helps anyone desperte to try out the new launcher style. It seems many people hate the new launcher, and I'll admit that I did myself the first time I saw it. However, it has grown on me and I'm going to give it a run to see if I like it over the old style. I can always change back...for the moment anyway.
Note: There is no need to be rooted or unlocked to do this. You can always change back to previous launcher by setting up another shortcut widget in the new style launcher. Your tablet will need to restart to make the change, that is normal.
Screenshots.
As Droid-Eye correctly pointed out, the home soft button doesn't line up with the app draw button. I haven't found any other bugs yet.

The instructions worked well for me. So far I keep looking for the buttons in the wrong place. But overall the tablet seems snappier with this launcher. I also do like that the notifications shows across the top so you can see a lot more of the text.

I didn't even think about giving this its own thread. Hopefully, more people will consider trying the new layout now instead of just sticking with the status quo. I know not everyone will prefer them but it's always better to have the choice (I mean, this is Android after all).

Thanks, man. I've been playing around in the activities shortcuts since I first got my brand new (at the time) Moto Droid with 2.0.1(to give you a time frame). I've found all kinds of cool stuff that way and it's nice finding solutions that don't require root once in a while. I highly recommend combing through the system activities if only just to see if there's anything hiding, waiting for a later update. This is how I found Face Unlock before they were ready to give it to us, too (though it took some interesting hoop jumping to get it to actually work). Also how I found the stock android dialer so I could try it wwith different SIP clients (still a work in progress).
Anyway, dig through the activities. Guaranteed you'll find something to play with in there.

Maybe check the tf300 threads (since they're the only other ones with this ability) and see if anyone's found a workaround for it. If it's happening for them too and there isn't a fix, I'm sure GMD will want to know about it so it can be fixed before the rest of the tf700 and tf201 communities run into it. Either way, keep the shortcut handy and you can always toggle back whenever they update the app.

The setting is there, just the Secure Settings tool is less than intuitive. Keep looking around at the tool. I had to look at the sample picture in the second post several times before I figured out what it was showing. I'll post instructions later in the evening when I have time if no one else does.

After you have selected to create a widget using secure settings, pick an app, wait, and select settings. Next, you can click the .settings textfield. That will bring up a long list where you have to pick the .settings#launcherSwitchSettingsActivity. (Almost at the end of the list) Save.
Give the shortcut an appropriate name, pick an icon, and save the shortcut.
Just install Nova launcher.

Wait a minute... Is "MobileHotspot" different from "WiFiHotspot"?
For example when Wi-Fi Hotspot quick-tile is enabled, hotspot does work correctly, but you are taken to a settings screen that shows:
Mobile Broadband Connect (USB) & Bluetooth tethering.
Does MobileHotspot quick tile offer different functionality?
