Root Root 1-touch shutdown app?

[Steven58]

I've looked in Appbrain and all I see are apps for 1 touch or 2 touch reboot. What I'd like is to find an app that will shut my phone off. Period. Plain and simple. Anyone know of this? If not, will you make it for me?

A friend of mine told me how easy app inventor is. When I get my google invitation, that will be my first app.

Thank you.

app inventor is pretty easy but eclipse is still far superior for coding in java.

Steven,

Thought this was going to be much easier than I first imagined it was, but here you go:

Its pretty simple and pretty Steven-specific (you'll see ).

Enjoy!

Scary!

Wow!!! Thank you! It works great! I'm honored and humbled. Please PM me how I can pay you for this!

Thank you.

Steven

PS: Nice icon!

No payment necessary--the stuff I learned while doing it was payment enough . It was fun and nice thing to learn how to do (I'm still earning my chops with Android app development, so this seemed (initially anyway) like a pretty simple thing to do. Turns out it was, I just didn't know it yet .

By the way, the app does a straight invoke of "reboot -p" and does not reference busybox or an explicit path. I tested it several times on my X, so it should be fine on yours (I'm a plain-old rooted 2.2 OTA'er).

BTW, Have you tried it yet? (just want to make sure it does work okay for you...)

edit: I just re-read and saw you said that it does work...awesome!

You can also just use gscript and put a shortcut to the script on the homepage. I use that for rebooting.

But definately a thumbs up for the fellow who went through the trouble to write an apk for you.

Yup! It does! You made me feel really good! Here's why: I'm on vacation, having just flown into Florida, early this morning. I'm staying at my sister and brother-in-law's condo, here. They know I'm heavily involved in Androids and AF. When I ready your post, I called out! "Hey! Someone wrote an app just for me!" They were amazed!

Thank you again! It's great. Nice picture!

Work great.
I need to get back to messing around with AI. Have you tired adobeAIR?

Switch Pro has a reboot switch that allows you to: Reboot; Boot into Recovery; or Open the Bootloader.

Not yet...saw a lot of press about it (adobeAir) last week... Ugh! More stuff to learn just as I'm starting to "get" the "regular" (Java-based) Android development thing...

By the way, I'll probably re-build and re-publish the app to be a little more generic for those that don't want to see Steven's avatar all of the time . I just thought he'd get a kick out of this and it was fun and fairly quick to do.

Cheers!

I'm in central Fl. My sister has a second place in Madiera Beach, near Tampa.

Going to Epcot on Wednesday!!!

I have a rebooter. I wanted a shutdown app, fyi.

I was hoping that you might do that? Through some other options in there also.

cool I'm about an hour south in Sarasota. Epcot is cool but I haven't been there in years, bordering on decades

you have a problem with my avatar? BANNED!

Lol...got any suggestions for new features?

I've still got to finish revamping my MD5/SHA1/jar-verification app...getting pretty close--its been a lot of work figuring out how to do indeterminate progress bars, background threads, menu items, long-press options, etc. A lot more complicated than my pretty simple UI I originally used.

Steven, your avatar is awesome (I assume --I'm not your best judge in this matter ). Besides, you can't ban me--I'm your app-guy .

Oops. Yeah. Woopsie! REINSTATED!

Okay, due to overwhelming demand (actually, one person PM'd me with this request ), I have de-Binged, er, de-Steven'd the shutdown app I posted earlier in this thread (sorry, Steven -- but you've got your own, personalized version, right? ).

Anyway, for those that want it, this is pretty-much the same app as previously posted. All root-related cautions and disclaimers apply here...

Also, of course, you must be rooted to use this app.

When you press the "Shutdown Phone" button, the app will shut down your phone by invoking a "reboot -p" command. You'll be prompted for SuperUser access, of course.

Here ya go:

Thanks man will install and try this out tomorrow. Finally I can save my power button!

Cheers!!

Not quite as cool but Gscript will let you do one or two step shutdown/reboot (and much more). It's free check it out on the market.

Oh, I think Gscript is very cool...its an awesomely powerful tool, limited only by what you can write in your scripts. I've used it for a few projects and I do highly recommend it. I write Unix (AIX) shell scripts often at work and had no problem doing some very complex things in Gscript.

Thanks for the feedback and cheers!

 

[Steven58]

Excellent Scary!

Spoiler

I am recommending you be banned for changing Steven's shutdown!!

Spoiler

Actually, I still have it and it is one of my favorite apps! Thanks!

Technically, I didn't change your app... ...its actually an homage to a great, wise, and humble Guide-extraordinaire of these Android Forums.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it .

Quick Boot also added a shutdown button with the recent update.
