So i just replaced the Exec-Line to "Exec= /usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/boostfm.sh"

The only problem is that it starts a window with nothing in it and just the name BoostFM. If i switch to the Desktop it is gone and worked.
Don't know how to fix this problem.

Edit a file called /opt/bin/boostfm.sh

Code:

!/bin/sh
STATE=`fmtx_client | grep state | cut -d '=' -f2`
if [ "disabled" = ${STATE} ]
then
   echo "Turning on FM transmitter"
   fmtx_client -p1
else
   echo "Turning off FM transmitter"
   fmtx_client -p0
fi
/bin/echo 118 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
exit 0

Now add the following to /etc/sudoers

Code:

user ALL = NOPASSWD: /opt/bin/boostfm.sh

Now create a file called BoostFM.desktop in /usr/share/applications/hildon which contains

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=BoostFM
Exec=osso-xterm 'sudo /opt/bin/boostfm.sh'
Icon=general_fm_transmitter
X-Windows-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

This will open up an xterm, run the script and then close the xterm. It checks to see if the transmitter is on and will turn it off if it is. I used a standard system icon for the icon in the desktop file. All you need to now is put it as a shortcut on your desktop and its one tap on and off.

I came back in to write this post and went to terminal to see what level it reports and couldn't gain root.

xTerm reports:

sudoers file: syntax error, line 75 <<<
sudo: parse error in etc/sudoers near line 75

Now Applications Manager reports "operation failed" and shows no catalogues installed.
Media player does not show any songs and will not close.

I would hate to reflash. Is there anything I can try?

But now someone has made a good example of themselves for the benefit of the community.
Thanks YoDude

Agree with visudo comment. I actually used that myself guess I should have specified that. This is why I suck at writing docs
