Fcron solves the problem with a fcrontab entry

Here's mine:

Nokia-N900:~# fcrontab -l
20:02:31 listing root's fcrontab
!nolog(true)

# Update Locate DB
0 3 * * * /usr/bin/updatedb

# Bluetooth off
0 22 * * * /usr/bin/phone-control --btoff

# Bluetooth ON
30 10 * * * /usr/bin/phone-control --bton

# Cell Off Nightly
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/phone-control --celloff

# Cell On Dailey
0 8 * * * /usr/bin/phone-control --cellon

# Set Region from 2 to 4
@ 120 echo 4 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/region

Thought I would just include the whole crontab for FUN.

This sets it every 120 min. You could do just one at start, or every 30 min for that matter. It isn't much of a draw on energy or resources.

region works very well,until reboot. It changes back to 2. Any idea how to solve this??

Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

Shouldn't change back to 2 though. Hmm.. I see I got that too. I'll got to do more tethering and hope to find a perminant solution for you guys.

well, region 4 problem was fixed long time ago (http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD#comment-16) and i'm quite amazed how people managed to get it to work without changing module/region ( which is impossible )

Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

So "4" comes from the FMTXD binary?

I'm not clear on this?

I have a crontab setup for it, that won't work?

Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

As I thought...

BTW; do you happen to know the offset where "Pilot" can be disabled?

Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

Can you suggest a better way to do a perminant hack on this?
This will surely helping people in Asian countries like Japan, and India. I know for sure that Japan using 76Mhz to 90Mhz. I found some things in the configuration files after spent a few hours looking through the core of this.

The regional setting will always changed back to default value "2" when restarted.
So I'm thinking of writting a simple applet script to do do a perminant solution but I'm short in knowledge of making shell batch script.
Also If someone could link me to the resource or share me the source code of the cpu applet then please let me know.

Is there something wrong with how I did it above?

Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

Can you explain more to this Fcon?
Just PM and we can do this over the email instead. Much easier to communicate than spamming the thread :)

I'm interested in getting this FM to be perminantly regional free for everyone.
Since this an opensource then It deserves to be open and anyone can make changes to the device setting.
